Fics like Second 'Verse, Same as the First

Carl, a 27-year-old Coast Guard vet, still finds himself facing a World Dungeon full of goblins, shapeshifting tutorial guides, and a deranged AI with a foot fetish, all with his ex-girlfriend's prize show cat and her pet dinosaur in tow - but this time, he's not alone. This time, his neighbor/tentative friend, a paramedic named Mel, happens to get back to their apartment building just as Carl is trying to get Donut out of a tree, and they watch the world collapse together. Surely this won't cause them to form a shaky bond that grows over time as they face more and more harrowing challenges that only bring them closer together... AKA What it would be like if Carl was thrown into the dungeon with another competent, supportive human instead of just a loveable but easily distractible cat and a gang of people who insist on calling him crazy at every turn. AKA Carl x OC slowburn that starts out as a straight-up rewrite of canon then branches off as the plot develops. The slowburn is very slow, but will also continue to develop, so be patient, young grasshopper. Now complete!
