In ADOM, talk to the people in the first town. The easier dungeons only appear if you are on a quest. Don't go west of the river before you finish one or two of these quests.
You can also buy food in the first town. It is highly recommended that you do so (you can't eat your money when you starve).

Edit: Eating some monsters may give you skills, raise or lower your stats, or poison / kill you (this info is in the manual).

In Angband, the levels are all random and they are generated whenever you go up/down the stairs. So you go, for example, from L1 -> L2, explore L2, then come back up... and there's a brand new L1 to explore.
