《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.

Badass
At the end of everything, Taylor Hebert realized something. She didn't want to be a superhero. No, she wanted to be a badass. And then her prayers were answered. Imbued with the power of mimetic badassery and the ability to channel a different real-life badass every week, she set out in search for all the best things in life - well, according to Conan, at least. Modeling herself after Conan have been a mistake. Join her on her high-octane, pulp-fiction journey for vengeance, adventure, victory and mayhem. This isn't just uncensored. It's anti-censored! =========================== (Worm/Fate/Badass of the Week) Warning: crack-taken-seriously, over-the-top pulp-fiction style violence, overpowered protagonist, banned on two other sites. Hell, even the light-hearted omake jokes in this were considered too subversive to persist. ============================ AN: There’s this really, really excellent website called Badass of the Week. I’ve wasted many an hour browsing through, marveling at all the crazy shit some humans are capable of. Check it out, then come back and read this in a few days when the awesome starts to wear off. It’s worth it (all 576 entries). Back? Good! Anyways, I was looking through it recently while thinking about who I wanted to make expy’s of for my The Flying Dutchman quest ship captains (which now languishes in indefinite hiatus), and I had this idea. What if Taylor, wanting to be a badass, triggered with the power to be a different Badass every week? With a bit of Fate-style ability to draw on the tools associated with the legend (but to a just marginally less ridiculous degree), and a drive and aura to be and do badass? And thus, Badass was born in it’s somewhat cracky glory. Enjoy.

City of Roses
Jo Maguire, a highly strung, underemployed telemarketer, meets Ysabel, a princess of unspecified pedigree, and unexpectedly becomes her guardian and caretaker. Now Jo must make a place for herself among Ysabel's decidedly unusual family and friends—which calls for a bit more sword-play than most of us are used to—in a city where sinister high-rise condos are fought by a sprawling tea-house built out of scrap lumber, where ancient sea-gods retire to close-in Southeast apartments with lovely views, where duels take place in supermarkets, and the Devil keeps a morgue in an abandoned big-box store.
