《Dungeon Code》Ch 07 Network Initialization
Advertisement
Excerpt from Encyclopaedia Multiverca:
ManaNet:
This brilliant invention was the work of an unknown mage. It was originally named Mana Manipulated Modulus, but modern society refers to it as the ManaNet, or simply the Net. It is a method of data transfer between magically inclined minds, whether they be organic or mineral. There are very few places and times when this network cannot be used.
The dungeon core did not stay dark for long. After a 10 second period of down time, it started flickering weakly. It seemed to have troubles like an under powered fluorescent lamp, but soon stabilized as it powered up.

Welcome back to Dystopia, Compilation Dungeon.
Cable opened his ‘eyes’ as Nova stirred beside him. After looking closely at the customary ‘wake up’ blue screen, he noted with satisfaction that there were fewer errors during the start-up process.
The blue window chimed, a new message appearing in its glowing outline.
Congratulations! You have completed your first custom mod installation!
The Developers wish to thank you for your continued efforts at improving the Dungeon Code system, and have rewarded you with a basic add-on package!
ManaNet: This will let you access the Mana Manipulation Modulus.
No sooner had he dismissed the first notification than another ‘dinged’ into existence.
The CoreNet extends its collective greetings. You have provided a valuable contribution to the Dungeon Community, and earned your place in the Hall of Fame. Your contributions have earned the following rewards:
CoreNet repository storage: up to 2P
CoreNet points: 2000 CN.
A ManaNet browser (CoreComm) has been added to your available options, with specific access to the CoreNet system. Please note, CoreNet utilizes a peer-to-peer system. There is no need to use the common ManaNet.
Please also note the following rules: CoreNet points may not be traded outside the CoreNet system. Only the browser provided by CoreNet can be used to access the CoreNet system. The CoreNet systems can be illegal in many places, and may result in termination with extreme prejudice by local authorities. Choose your upgrades and how you use them carefully.
Hearing more than seeing Nova waking up, Cable greeted her while pondering these new notifications.
“Morning Nova.”
Nova let out a small shriek as she woke up fully, startled awake by the unexpected greeting.
“Waaah! Good morning, Admin Cable!”
Nova’s energetic greeting brought a smile to Cable’s lips; her slightly panicked expression made a good memory to start the day.

The Life of Kenshiro Senju
THIS STORY IS ON AN INDEFINITE HIATUS Kenshiro Senju, son of Iria Senju and Daikuma Senju Kenshiro Senju, that is now my name. It has not always been... Once I have been named differently, by another mother, in a different world. I had grown up in a different world, have lived a different life and have done things way differently. My story started like so many other isekai self-insert stories. Well, at least I think my death has been a little bit more on the strange side. Truck-san did not take me into the next adventure, it was lye and boiling water. Author of the cover; https://www.pinterest.de/mliannaphilisa/

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
