《Dungeon Code》Ch 02 Reboot

Extract from the Encyclopaedia Multiverca
Dungeon types – Dungeons come in different shapes, sizes, and difficulties. However, the most relevant feature to determine a dungeon type is the environment chosen by the dungeon Core and the monsters which inhabit it. The size and difficulty determine its classification in that type, ranging from Z low to A high, with anomalies exceeding this classification or recognized by a sentient race being given individual designations.
"Owww... Never doing that again. I didn't even finish that last game..."
Cable hissed as he woke up. This is not really a good idea, as you never know just who's listening. Either way, it didn't matter, as he was currently facing a blue screen.
'Eh? What have we here? Last time I saw a BS of Death was the Windhurts series of operating systems... That was funny seeing it on a Macronalds advertisement. Oh well, reset.'
At the last word of that thought, he was stunned by the appearance of anothe blue screen.

Superworld
Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got squat, and has spent the last five years faking being clairvoyant just to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, Matt's lies have started to catch up to him, and when a desperate bluff backfires he'll need every ounce of cunning, conning and juvenile delinquency to stay undetected and alive. Jane Walker is trouble. In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. But fate is a fickle friend, and a chance encounter soon finds Jane hurtling towards her lifelong dream - or prejudice, humiliation and a violent, painful death. Unbeknownst to them, Matt and Jane’s paths are inextricably intertwined, and as each struggles to find their place an unseen force will draw them ever forward – closer and closer to a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world. A loving homage to and twist on the superhero genre, Superworld is a fun, subversive story about identity, empathy, connection and courage which has been called “very entertaining and creative” and “an absolute pleasure” by readers, and "completely unreadable" by the author's blind grandfather.

Witches of the Night
Few know this, but, beneath our cities, in the midst of forests and mountains and even under the waters of the ocean, there is another world, a world full of magic, fantastic places, and mythological and imaginary creatures. By chance, I became aware of it, and my curiosity led me to explore it. Now, I regret not having controlled myself, not having ignored this knowledge and continued with my regular life. For, though I have seen incredible things beyond the imagination of most people, I also met the Witches of the Night and the terrible truths about the human condition and the place of humanity in the universe they brought with them. How do I get back to a normal life after everything I saw? I don't know if it's possible, but this account is an attempt to mitigate the terrible effects of this knowledge, a first step toward normalcy. Perhaps sharing everything I discovered, the simple idea that this knowledge is not only mine, will help me.
