《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.
