I would love it if someone could name a book from rather  poor memories of mine.

The book is about an adventurer (Probably a game player) who claims a castle in the middle of a nasty swamp, He has to go there to claim it, but the swamp is dangerous and trapped. There is a pathway through which is below the surface of the water.

The castle is abandoned  and must be cleared (?). There is a floor made up of symbols that opens a secret  section of what I think were magical priests ?

There is a giant Golem guarding a door to the treasury (?)

Toward the end of the book the  residents of the swamp slowly arrive to trade / move in / help ?

Thats about all I can remember at this time

Oh, and he employs some dwarves to fix the ruined castle up. There is a war with the evil beings in the swamp.

The swamp castle and the swamp has a dismal name. I think he has to clear the castle section by section, with other players and i remember a part abut the keep which is haunted and he must survive to dawn ?  They set a respawn point outside the castle before entering.
