Today I tried reading minds with Lace, and it was surprisingly intuitive. I guess studying the brain has helped me in at least one way. By the lunchtime, I was able to pull up memories with perfect clarity as far back as the person is capable of remembering, with only a little discomfort from the person whose mind I am reading. By the end of the day, I was even able to edit memories with minimal risk of failure.

I feel like I can use this to make refining the brains of the undead much easier, though not the massive twisted ones we are currently working on. Lace isn’t capable of interacting with them anymore, though I could fix that with about a day’s worth of work. Using Lace I might be able to figure out what every part of the brain and nervous system actually does. I’ll suggest that once our progress slows down again.

Speaking of the undead, the ones we’ve been working on have started getting so tall that they are falling over. I fixed that by doing two things, first I had some plants compact and level the ground around where we have them, then we caused spikes of bone to grow into the compacted ground. I think it would be able to survive a major storm without falling over.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

As for progress, we made a bunch of progress today, more than we did yesterday.

I spent my free time with Tiddol today. Her project will be completed within the next three days. She told me that she was worried about actually bringing it to life. Unlike Azrezel and myself she has no idea whatsoever about what it takes to create life, so in the case that she finishes the clockwork man and it doesn’t automatically come to life she wants me to bring it to life. I’m not entirely sure how to do that, I know I am physically capable of it, it’s a dungeon thing, but I’ve never done that with anything other than plants before. Actually, there were those tiny creatures I made out of pure mana shortly after I died and before I remade my body, but those hardly matter.

Other than that not a lot happened today. There was an interesting event where an injured harpy fell out of the sky, breaking its neck when it hit the ground. Harpy meat is actually pretty good, a little gamy but not too bad. It must have been pretty powerful too, the meat had a lot of mana in it.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
