Figuring out the exact structure that allows me to trigger evolutions was really easy. It was not subtle at all, so all I had to do was trigger a couple evolutions to narrow it down. It is also really simple, simple enough that I could replicate it easily with minimal practice. The external part of my soul is absolutely riddled with the things, which makes sense because it would exclusively go onto people that would regularly cut chunks of their soul out and you wouldn’t want them losing that.
I have no idea how it works, but whatever it is it was built with mass production in mind, not subtlety. An ideal situation for me.
That didn’t take long to figure out, so I moved onto trying to figure out how to get it to replicate properly. It ended up taking all day to get it perfect. Yeah, it was pretty easy to get it working, but that would only last for two or three generations before it collapsed entirely. I had to get it absolutely perfect down to the finest detail in order for it to be able to propagate indefinitely.
That is a major step I’ve completed. It sends my whole projected schedule for this project way off in a good way, I was expecting it to take way more time than it actually did to figure out how to mimic a part of my soul. Of course, I am always wrong about how long a project will take me, so it’s not too surprising. I don’t expect the hivemind portion to take much time to complete, it’s something I’ve done before after all. Of course, I am always wrong about how long a project will take me, so it could end up taking me weeks. Who knows?

I had someone message me over the terminal about a creature they purchased from me, an expensive one. Apparently, something was going wrong and any of them the dungeon made would end up exploding, and as far as they could tell nothing was really valuable about it. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that they had bought my own species and that the issue was that all the excess Solar Energy and mana was pooling where the dungeon core should be, with predictable results. In addition to that, it was lacking all of the plants I have inside my body, except for Sunflower.
I ended up walking them through exactly what they would need to do in order to make it useful. First and foremost by placing their dungeon core inside of it and using it as their own body. Apparently, that had some interesting effects. And then I instructed them to buy some magical plants and incorporate them into the body, which apparently takes really well to that. I thought it was just my own skill, but apparently, my body goes out of its way to accept plants being incorporated into it. That plus the fact that dungeons are inherently talented at creating and manipulating creatures made it easy for the other dungeon to do that. At that point they got super excited about something and thanked me very quite a bit, saying that they would tell all of their friends about it. Sure enough, there was a public post about how great my species was later that day, one that got pretty popular.
So yeah, I am not the only one of my species anymore. Feels kinda weird to know there are now others like myself, and soon to be more.
Other than that I spent my downtime alone with Azrezel, doing what couples do when they are alone together.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
