I noticed something interesting today, the amount of soul energy I am receiving from the people has increased. I'm not taking a larger portion, instead, they are producing more. It is only happening with the ones that I have connected with my own soul, which makes sense, but what doesn't make sense is why. What exactly is causing them to produce noticeably more soul energy? Yeah, me interacting with their soul a little bit would cause it to grow slightly from the stimulation, but the difference would be so minor as to be irrelevant. Nowhere near the level, it has risen too, and nowhere near the rate it keeps rising. It's definitely a good thing, but I need to know more so I can properly optimize whatever is happening. Luckily I currently have a great way to experiment with that.

We were sent a sizeable gift today from our powerful neighbors in the homeland of the demons. In effect, it was to apologize for forcing us to deal with their own issue. The gift itself wasn't really spectacular, expensive yes, but not particularly interesting. Just some rare metals and some odd trinkets that might be useful, nothing that we didn't have already. If they really wanted to make me like them then they would have sent some interesting magical plants, all of the new ones I currently have access to basically just do the same thing my own plants do, only slightly different in a way I am more than able to replicate.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Other than that I spent my downtime with Jasmine today. We ended up doing some shopping again, which was kind of fun. She tried to get me to buy some makeup for myself, but it was kind of pointless because I can do everything makeup can and more by just changing the way my face looks directly. No point in putting paint on it.

We did end up running into Azrezel while we were walking, he was out buying candy and our paths crossed. He was obviously a little awkward, and more than once had to stop himself from staring at her, and me. It kind of cute actually, seeing him be so flustered. And, I mean she is really attractive so I'm definitely not saying anything against his tastes. He also was not subtle, as Jasmine was quick to point out after we went our seperate ways.

I wonder what it would be like if the three of us hooked up together for a night, I know charismatic adventurers often have multiple lovers at the same time and I'm curious. And based on how Azrezel was struggling to stop himself from oogling the two of us I'm sure he would go for it. I mean it can't hurt to try, so why not? It might be fun.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
