“Dungeon type selection”
Immediately upon Cable saying this, the menu opened. It even had another message.
Congratulations, New Dungeon.
You now have the option to select your dungeon type.
Choose wisely, as there is no reset for this option.
Abyssal – Lv 1.
Default – Lv 1.

Slime – Lv 1.

Compiling …
“How can it be compiling still? Shouldn’t compilation happen before programs can run?”
Congratulations New Dungeon. You have earned the title: Compiler.
You are now a Compilation Dungeon Lv 1.
“There you go Admin Cable. Now please set up your HUD. There should be some further options in the Menu.”
“Menu”
Thank you for participating in the new Beta edition of Dungeon Code.

“What’s with the * next to those options down the bottom, Nova?”
“Those options require your attention, Admin Cable. We are running on beta test dungeon code, so some things are a bit rushed, and you may need to do some coding to get them running properly.”
“Haaa… Some things don’t change from one world to the next, and apparently lazy developers are one of them. Oh well, better get started then. HUD.”
Cable was stunned when the black environment suddenly receded to show a sparkling cavern, and judging by the view, lit by internal light sources. There was no daylight in sight, and a soft glow suffused the area.
Crystals littered the walls and surfaces of the hollow, shimmering in iridescent colours. The edges of his field of view seemed to match each other though, and Cable found this somewhat disconcerting. The view didn’t extend that far either, as it stopped short of the entrance to the cavern. What did concern him however, were the lines of distortion.
“Nova, why are there distortion lines in what I can see?”
“That’s probably a bug in the HUD software, Admin Cable. Our shape is a double tetrahedron, they probably forgot to account for that in the optics.”
“Can you stop calling me Admin, Nova?”
“I have never called you Admin Nova, Admin Cable.”
* sigh * “Never mind, then. Let’s see what we can do about this HUD.”

Wildcards: The Dread Captain
At the District One Invitational, a rookie eSports team defied all odds and reached the finals. Their underdog story and humble beginnings elevated them to worldwide acclaim. Media corporations dubbed them, The Paragons. With their main competition eliminated from the tournament during the semifinals, the rookie team sailed through the live finals and won by a landslide. Their prize was to become the first ever players in the most exclusive VR game yet, Abidden. The Paragons never celebrated that semi-final victory. They lost a friend in that match, who never appeared online again. Ten years later, the gaming landscape has changed and Abidden with it. Helena is the last remaining Paragon. Her team now consists of celebrities, influencers and musicians. Abidden has been reduced to a shadow of its former glory, but is the most streamed and viewed game in the world, despite having only a handful of players. None of this matters to James Sylvester. Finally out of hospital, things aren't good for James. He's found himself crippled with medical debt, his gaming licence has been revoked and he's permanently lost his place in society. He now spends his days competing in illegal slum arcades to manage the repayments. When a high-profile job comes along, James gets temporary backdoor access to his blacklisted gaming account. After reactivating it for the first time in ten years, James receives an invitation that could change his life forever. Disclaimer: This story is in no way or form associated with the works of George R. R. Martin and has no link to the popularised series, Wild Cards. This is a LitRPG story of my own creation that shares that name.

Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry. This series originally started on r/HFY, [Link] but I decided to post it here since people are so positive about it! Posting rate is, and likely will continue to be, rather inconsistent.
