Dear Diary,

Tim is back on Floor 17. He tried biting a dire wolf, and it bit back harder. So yeah, he didn’t make it.

But that’s ok! Soon we’ll be back with the dracoraptors, and I don’t know how they’d react to seeing us with a velociraptor. A smaller, muuuuch weaker version of them. They’d eat him for sure. Maybe if we had both velociraptors with us it would be different, but, well, probably not. I wonder if they could be put into our inventories. The pets we got at the store can be put in our inventories, so who knows!

Although, that would mean we could put monsters into our inventories and keep them instead of fighting them. I don’t think anyone has tried that, but it feels like if that worked it’d be super broken.

…Well, now I’m curious. Hold on.

…

Nope, doesn’t work. I opened my inventory and asked it to put one of the slimes here into my inventory. It was like “whaaaaat do you want me to do???”

Although slimes are weird. Maybe if I asked it to accept one of the kobolds or- hold up.

…

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Nope, it won’t let me put Via into my inventory.

Well, I tried.

When we get to Floor 90 I’ll try putting one of the dracoraptors into my inventory. Until then I’ll stop experimenting.

A part of me feels like players, real players, would have tried to cheat by putting monsters into their inventory. But then I’m not a player, and the Admin wants us to try weird stuff. I feel like a player would see a monster and think “kill”, not “I wonder if I can stuff this thing into my inventory”. I know for a fact they don’t look at monsters and think “I wonder what its favorite food is”. So in the next dungeon I’ll have to try filling my inventory with monsters, even if it doesn’t work in this one.

In other news, Via got a diary! I convinced her to get one at the shop on Floor 60. I haven’t seen her write in it yet, but it’s there. She has it. Soon she will learn the joy of keeping a diary. Or journal.

I wonder if any of the not-player people have diaries. I don’t think the kobolds had access to notebooks before Kimi got there. But I think the Admin has put more things in the average dungeon dweller’s inventory since then. Not that it’ll help the giant rat things, but the goblins and kobolds probably appreciated it. And if there isn’t, I’m sure some people have figured out how to make diaries or something anyway.

I wonder how many players have diaries. I hope a lot of them, they probably all need therapy. It would be interesting to read one of their diaries. Altho it would probably get boring after a while. They’ve been at this 42 cycles, after all, without much change. I’m running out of things to talk about, and I’ve only been at it three cycles.

I hope things change, and I get more to write about.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
