“Mmmm! Chat, this is absolutely delicious!” I exclaimed while probably making an expression like someone from a cooking anime.
Honestly, there was something incredibly peaceful about sleeping under a tree you had grown yourself.
Well, I hadn’t really done all that much other than forget about the fruit core, but still.
These fruits were such a breath of fresh air after days of nothing but pizza and octopus meat. The cheese I’d gotten from t...

I sighed.
“Look, all I’m saying is that the octopus was totally fine,” I argued, still perched near a wall, while my ultradry towel lowered the water level in the boss room. “Like, yeah, it would make sense that changing the flow of time for just one of my limbs would probably screw up with all sorts of things but… Well, it’s a magical world. It’s probably gonna work out.”

I breathed out and smiled in relief as I looked upon the water park’s entrance archway that seemed a lot smaller than I remembered it.
“Hello there, old buddy. Long time no see.”
After a short bout of tree-walking training and sleeping through the night, I’d walked all the way back here. It had taken me almost the entire day, but it was actually faster than my first trip to the city dungeon.
Probably because I was taller now. And because I actually had a destination ...

Hello, everyone!
I wanted to apologize for the lack of updates last month, but it really was hard to find the time and energy to write...
...Or at least, that was the excuse I would keep telling myself. But really, the main issue here was that I wasn't using the time and energy that I did have very wisely.
Ironically, the activities that were supposed to be me relaxing after work - playing video games and watching YouTube - were just draining the last bits of m...

Into my backpack the huge sack of tomatoes went.
Just like the pots from the giant merchant’s – ogre’s? – floor, there was no reason for me to ignore all of this juicy stuff. More food variety could only be a good thing.
Once I pillaged as much as I could without risking passing the one hour time limit, I steeled myself, walked to the door, and opened it.
It led outside. A large empty area with dirt ground surrounded by walls on all sides. There were also several rac...

Floor six was a sprawling kitchen. Sinks, counters, ovens, and bags – presumably filled with ingredients – filled the place. It kinda reminded me of the fast food buildings in the water park dungeon. Except for the whole non-euclidean maze thing, at least.
“Kitchen? Didn’t we already fight a cooking demon…?” I asked as I cautiously walked inside, eyeing the passageway on the other side.
Sure enough, once I got far enough into the room and the door slammed behind me, th...

Happy new year, everyone!
I hope you're all still doing well! Thank you for still following/supporting me!
I'll be honest, I haven't gotten nearly as much writing done as I would have liked this past month. Not gonna lie, the first month in my new work was pretty brutal, mainly because of how hectic things were around Christmas, but it should (aledgedly) get better now.

I didn’t even shudder as I entered the city dungeon and instead leaned into the feelings of determination and comradery the dungeon injected into me. It felt that much more appropriate with Ebiko in chat again today.
I did my best to push away the fridge horror that was the incausal rift achievement names. There was absolutely no need for me to worry about them now when I was still so far away from even unlocking access to them.

Hello, everyone.
I got some good news and some bad news.
It's actually the same news: I got a new job.
That means that I hopefully won't have to worry about money in the near future, but also, I'm going to have a lot less time and energy for writing from now on.
Of course, I appreciate every one of you who supported me throughout the time I didn't have any other income, but unfortunately, it's nowhere near enough to live off of. Which meant getting a 'real' job for the...

I furrowed my brows in confusion at the open square.
“Wait, what? No, I wanna continue, dungeon! Not go back!”
I closed the door, wished really hard to continue to the next boss, and then opened the door again.
Nothing changed.
I stared at the scene with more confusion.
Was… that it? That couldn’t be, right? As much as the archer had felt like the final boss to me, there had to be more to this dungeon.

My strategy was simple.
Gun and shield.
The first time I’d faced the archer, I could only try to dodge and was too slow to do so. But now I had a shield which hopefully could block her shots. Although if they were armor-piercing as so many people in chat had theorized, I would still have to do my best to dodge.
As for my offense, I would use my gun self’s crystal shower setting.
Why?
Because this enemy was nimble, but ultimately squishy. It was easy ...

“I’m back,” I growled at the gate of the city dungeon.
With my enhanced key sword in my right hand, my gun self in my left hand, and my main body covered in my super armor self shaped like clothes, I was ready to rock this place. No damn armor-piercing poisoned arrows would stop me.

I gasped heavily and my entire body ached from running around and literally putting out fires for quite literally the entire day and night. It was actually the next day in the afternoon now and I hadn’t even slept.
I looked at my crystal flask to see that I’d ended up drinking almost half of it just to keep going. The shower head I’d gotten from the water park dungeon truly was MVP.

Unfortunately, even after wandering around in the darkness – ugh, after that boss, it really unnerved me, even with Heat Vision and the light from Flameguard – for a little while, all I managed to find was the end of the hole.
It just… ended. There was nothing interesting at the end.
Well, okay. Maybe being able to walk inside the half-sphere the hole had ended with had been pretty cool with how the gravity smoothly changed, but that didn’t change the fact that I couldn’...

Once I got my daily required dose of Jeoff trolling and recovered a little, I went ahead and opened the big boss chest, my flaming glove lighting the way.
Four items greeted me inside. A pile of crystalline scales, a small ring, a new type of system ticket I hadn’t seen before, and–
I gasped in delight.

I didn’t hesitate and snagged the large war-axe into my hands and looked it over.

As I got deeper and deeper into the hole, there was less and less light. And despite my new sleek glove being able to produce sparks, it actually absorbed light instead of producing them – however the heck that worked – so it wasn’t of any help.
My other sources of light used to be my sword… which I’d lost, and then Flameguard, which I didn’t have equipped at the moment. I debated whether it was worth swapping Appraisal out again, but I decided not to yet, sinc...

As I walked around the rim of the hole, feeling like I was on a ringworld, I arrived at one of those vibrating cracked rocky places I’d seen before.
It made me wonder just how the heck it could keep vibrating like this. What powered it? What had caused it to be like this?
Unfortunately, the question would have to wait, because similarly to the first floor, when I got close to it, the vibrating rocks spat something out via mitosis.

Unfortunately, both the gun and my clothes only accepted one type of mana each. I’d tried testing it and they both basically worked like a battery. Or maybe a capacitor. They stored additional power and I could draw on them at any point to either restore my own reserves or to use them directly. It helped that both of them were essentially me, so it was kind of like holding something in one hand but being able to pass it to the other hand at any time.
With that said, it was actually a ...

Miracle of all miracles, no monsters spawned while I lay there uselessly in the middle of a dangerous dungeon.
Many people in chat theorized that it was because the dragon had triggered all the available spawns in the dungeon and then subsequently wiped all of them out with that crystal shower, so now, everything was ‘on cooldown’, so to speak.
When I finally managed to sit up with a groan, I looked around with my real eyes instead of staring at John’s screen a...

I encountered a dozen more crystal lizards and three more sapphire snakes on my way to the hole. The lizards were easy and I quickly figured out how to fight the snakes and anticipate their… sapphirification hiss.

Worst of all, when I was surrounded by the spires and didn’t have enough room to dodge at ...

I kept circling the dungeon’s perimeter and eventually arrived at the half of the crater with the spires that looked like black fire stopped in time. Interestingly enough, Appraisal identified it as Sapphire spires, just like the blue structures on the other side.
I tapped one with my pan just to see if it was safe to touch. When it clanked like it would against something made out of glass, I gingerly tried touching it with my own hand. It felt… warm.

Not even a few hours later after crossing the river, I climbed up a tree and set out John above me to take a better look. To my surprise, the ‘mysterious’ structure was already visible from where I was.
Odd. Hadn’t it taken me a whole day to get to the city dungeon from when I’d first reached the river?
