Cycle 42 (9)

Dear Diary,

The exit on Floor 79 is on the ceiling. Why is it there? I have no idea. When I had my pet spider it was easy to get to, since I could walk on walls. And ceilings. But this time we had to actually use wallclimbing potions, which have time limits. The kraken almost got us.

Oh yeah, Floor 79 is a water floor. It has sharks and a kraken. There isn’t a beach at both ends, like on the one between our floor and the kobolds. There’s just a teeny little dock at the entrance, and nothing else. The first time we came here it took a while to find the exit, since it isn’t obvious.

Anyways, Via and I are spending the night just beyond the exit of Floor 79. We debated going down to Floor 80, since we know the people there, but decided not to. It was already kinda late. So instead I’m just dropping food down to the sharks, seeing if they like any of it.

So far they don’t. They attack anything that hits the water, but they aren’t eating it. They’re just attacking. I don’t think I’ll be able to make friends with them. They didn’t even react to fish-shaped carrots.

I wonder if the sharks used to be real sharks. I don’t know what else they would have been. And if a bunch of people and land animals died, chances are a bunch of sea animals died, too. But then what happened to, I don’t know, the average fish? There aren’t just schools of fish swimming around somewhere, are there? I know there aren’t in this dungeon, but there are other dungeons. So maybe one dungeon is just completely water-based, and has all the ocean things. Cuz as far as I can tell, this is just a generic fantasy dungeon (sorry, Admin). There are basic fantasy monsters and things that are references to movies and stuff, but it’s nothing new.

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Except the dinosaurs. I guess those aren’t fantasy.

Maybe the other admins were more inventive and imaginative. Maybe there’s a water dungeon, or a candy dungeon! Candy dungeon would be fun! Unless we were NPCs. Being made out of candy doesn’t sound fun. The temperature of that dungeon would have to be kinda low to make sure no one melted. And fire magic like Kimi has would be totally OP. Unless it was magic, non-melting candy, which it probably would be.

…Wait.

ADMIN, DO YOU READ MY DIARY? If you do, then I’m not sorry for saying your dungeon is generic! And stop reading my diary! Reading someone’s diary is rude!

And anyone else who happens to be reading this, CUT IT OUT! This is a PRIVATE diary, for MY EYES ONLY! Go read your own diary! Unless you don’t have one, in which case go read something else entirely! There’s a cookbook in my inventory you can read, and the people in Lilly’s book club have written like a dozen books so far. You don’t need to read this.

GOODNIGHT, Dungeon!

Sorry. Won’t happen again.

…My dungeon’s not generic. You try coming up with monsters to fill 100 floors without relying on fantasy and media. No, there isn’t a pure water-based dungeon. Admin 2 made a candy/sparkle/rainbow dungeon. It’s horrifying.
