Chapter 13 of Dungeon Crawler Carl follows Carl and Princess Donut during the discovery of rebecca w portion of the Earth crawl. The chapter advances the immediate survival plot while introducing rules and relationships that continue beyond the First Floor. A pulsing corpse marker lies at the edge of the neighborhood map. Carl and Donut need supplies and information, but approaching a dead crawler may expose them to the person or creature responsible. Donut also remains reluctant to use her claws, leaving the party heavily dependent on a finite mana pool. They find Rebecca W naked and stripped of gear. Examination identifies her as a level 3 crawler killed by Frank Q. Carl locates the gunshot wound and realizes the victim was deliberately killed by another human, not a dungeon mob. The discovery triggers memories of conflict from his life before the collapse. He searches the map for nearby blue dots, considers whether crawlers can hide, and warns Donut not to reveal their equipment to strangers. After debating whether to pursue Frank, they decide to clear the remaining known hostile dots, watch the premiere, and then search for both the killer and a stairwell. Carl chooses investigation over avoidance because Rebecca's death transforms other crawlers into an active security problem. His anger makes him want to locate Frank, while Donut's initial bravado gives way to fear when she realizes Carl is serious. They compromise by remaining inside mapped territory, gaining experience, and withholding gear information from anyone outside the party. Carl also continues pressuring Donut to train her physical attacks, recognizing that a mana-dependent build can fail during a long fight. Crawler corpses can be looted by other crawlers, and examination records the credited killer. Surface clothing does not resize magically, unlike much dungeon equipment. Party membership affects how much another crawler can examine about gear and status. Blue dots identify crawlers when map conditions allow, but the chapter leaves open whether sleep, skills, or environmental effects can hide a person. Corpse markers preserve identity even after the surrounding area has emptied. Carl and Donut move away from Rebecca's body with a new plan and a new human threat in mind. They do not recover clothing or equipment, and Frank remains unseen. The pair turns toward nearby rats and the premiere episode, carrying the knowledge that the dungeon's contestants may prey on one another before production has formally encouraged it. Rebecca's death initiates the Frank Q and Maggie My storyline and shapes Carl's caution around strangers. It establishes the crawler-killer marker as a meaningful warning and makes information security part of party survival. The argument about Donut's claws continues into later boss fights, where physical attacks become necessary after mana is exhausted. Carl, Princess Donut, Rebecca W, Frank Q by system identification, Beatrice and Ferdinand by recollection, and nearby dungeon mobs appear or are discussed.
