Dear Diary,

There's some weird stuff in this dungeon. Before, I thought slimes were the worst thing ever. And they are pretty bad. But today we fought a guy made out of splintering candy cane.

Oh, since this is the first cycle, all ten of us get to be in a party together! Which is really cool. We've never all fought together before.

So, there are sixty floors here. Floor 1 is only for players. We can access our inventories, and there's a shop with veeeeery basic items in it. Like bronze swords and blank notebooks. No one really mingled this cycle, everyone stuck to their dungeon group. Next cycle I want to try and say hi to a couple people.

Floor 2 is damp. It's dark and spooky, with nasty acidic slugs and giant vampire crickets. Not fun. Staab got a necrotic sword, though, so that's neat.

Floor 3 is a candy floor! I thought that would make it fun! I was wrong! A group of people made out of candy cane live there, and they're kinda like the golems from our original dungeon. They explode when you touch them. So I think in the future we need to use ranged attacks here. Being hit in the face with a bunch of minty sugar shards is horrible.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Floor 4 is a floor from our dungeon! Over there, it was Floor 7. Meaning we got to take a break from fighting and snuggle some wolves! I highly recommend a wolf snuggle break at least once a day. Samuel, Mika and Staab killed all the spiders on the floor. Since we are kinda supposed to. No one was allowed to hurt our wolves, though.

Floor 5 was kinda a castle floor? It was full of zombies. I feel sorry for them. Having skin that's constantly rotting off can't be comfortable. They're going to be the first people I make a cake for next cycle. I know it's their job to attack us, but they seemed nice. They thought Avi's illusions were cool.

Floor 6 was a field of flowers. Carnivorous flowers. With poisonous pollen. And bees the size of my head. I'm totally gonna snuggle a bee one day. We've been trying to beat the floors "correctly", but the poison got too thick after a couple minutes. I ended up teleporting everyone to the exit.

And that's where we stopped! Well, we stopped in the stairwell between Floor 6 and 7. There's a campsite here with cabins, the same as in our old dungeon. Since we don't know where the other players are, we're all crammed into three of the six cabins. Avi and I are sharing one with Kimi and Y. Mika's with Aya and the Sams. Staab and Lily have their own cabin, at the risk of having some stranger rent one of the other beds.

So yeah! Today was exciting! Tomorrow we'll get to a catgirl floor, and we'll find out how far ahead or behind the other players we are.

I hope we aren't behind.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
