Chapter 1 - Very lucky or very unlucky
Daniel opened the door to his dorm room and put his exercise gear into a corner. When he started his studies at the university, he just wanted to find a cheap apartment. He got lucky when he found a fraternity that was still recruiting new members. Instead of 400€ he only needed to pay 150€ a month for a room. The only downside was that he had to learn saber fighting. It seemed silly at that time, but it was the tradition of his 200 year old fraternity in southern Germany. At least they got rid of the old tradition to inflict scars on each other's faces as some kind of archaic ritual. What he didn't expect was that he came to like the sport. The funny thing was that, compared to football (soccer) which he played before, the risk of a serious injury was far lower while trying to hit each other with blunted swords.
When he went to the refrigerator to get something to drink, his vision blurred. Daniel tried to lean against the wall to prevent falling onto the ground. Then suddenly, the wall collapsed and he fell to the ground. The good news was that he was able to see clearly again, only to look at a big blue box in front of him.
Welcome traveler! You have been chosen. Due to the dungeon aid34523fj34k not being visited for 5 years, you are one of the lucky people to be randomly summoned to explore it.
Because you are new to this world, this room will become a safety zone for the next 5 days.
Your adventure starts now!
"What, who, is this a joke?" Daniel cursed.
But, nobody answered him. He got back to his feet and had a look at his surroundings. Parts of his dorm room seemed to have accompanied him to what looked like a cave. The collapsed drywall had lost its top half and was ending in the middle of the cave. When he'd leaned against it, half of it had just snapped and fell to the ground with him. The weird thing was that the lighting was still burning while he could see the open cable endings where the walls looked like they've been cut by a very sharp knife.

For a short moment he thought about his good friend Thomas, who had the dorm room above his own and what would have happened to him when the supporting wall below his room just disappeared. Maybe, being summoned to some fantasy dungeon by some galactic lottery wasn't the most unlucky thing that could happen to a person. He could only hope that his friend hadn't been in his room and that the fraternity building didn't collapse.
Daniel shook his head. Right now, he couldn't do anything for his friends and he tried to focus on his own situation. The parts from his dorm that accompanied him were the storage corner, parts of the entrance, the refrigerator, his notebook and half of his TV. When he looked down he discovered that his exercise gear was still laying in the corner.
He started to gather all the items on the floor. All in all, he had around 20 liters of bottled water, some frozen meat and vegetables, a few pieces of canned fish and fruit, a few packs of rice, a set of stinking exercise clothes, his saber fencing protection gear, a blunted saber, a few kitchen knives and some cleaning equipment that probably wouldn't be that useful.
He looked for it. But, it seemed like the grindstone, he used for sharpening his kitchen knives, didn't travel with him. The good news was, he discovered his old camping cooker, an air mattress, a sleeping bag and a pillow that he used for camping, had accompanied him. At least he wouldn't have to sleep on the ground. He calculated that if he cooked and salted the meat, together with the canned fish and the rice, he should have enough food for ten days. But it would be pretty taxing to carry all his useful stuff in his exercise bag. Thinking about the web novels he'd read, Daniel tried to open an inventory with his thoughts, and it worked!

'That was awesome' Daniel thought with a sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't have to carry all of his food with him. With a smile on his face he thought:

Daniel didn't know what the normal attribute values were. He was in pretty good shape, maybe 10 represented a completely untrained adult? What was weird was that unlike in most games he played, there weren't fixed values for life, stamina and mana. One would not be able to see the exact influence of attributes to them. While his attributes looked nice, he was sure of one thing though. He'd never read a book where a level 0 person defeated a dungeon alone. It would probably be a good idea to find a way to level up. Daniel tried to focus on the level and XP part of his status. He was rewarded with the opening of another window.
Level and experience represent the amount of life energy stored in an organism. It can be increased by killing other living beings and taking a part of their life energy and by increasing skill levels and attributes with training. Each level will give 10 free attribute points for distribution.
The difference in life energy concentration will make killing weaker enemies more and more ineffective.
The thought of stealing another beings life energy to improve himself felt kind of dirty. He never wanted to be a vampire and rob people of their life. The last sentence calmed him down a bit though. The thought of entering a world where powerful psychopaths killed all life just to improve themselves would've been scary. The information that attributes could be increased from training made him think about the first message and that he had 5 days in a safe zone before he had to face the dangers of the unknown dungeon.
But before making any rash decisions, he decided it would probably the best idea to learn as much as he could from the system.

8 136To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
