Dear Diary,

We. Fought. All day.

We’re. On. Floor 14.

Apparently we’re going super fast! We’re clearing floors and leveling up like nobody’s business! Ox, Tig and Larissa are super happy with our progress!

Meanwhile, Mika and I are like “aaaaargh we’re going sooooo slow!!!”

Honestly, at this point we’re debating bailing on them and going down on our own. I mean, was it necessary to scout Floor 12 to make sure every single mosquito was dead? And Floor 10 is a water floor, meaning we had to kill a bunch of sharks. We basically spent two hours fishing. Just to make sure we got them all.

But hey, at least we got to a catgirl floor. Finally. We get a nice, soft bed, and… cheap diner food. Goodie. I don’t even have the energy to cook tonight, and I don’t know how I’d do even if I wanted to. Being three feet tall kinda sucks sometimes.

In other news, we were able to sell all the stuff we picked up from killing literally everything. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much gold. I gave a lot of it to Mika so she could buy better axes and enchant them. Larissa thought that was weird, how I just gave money to Mika without demanding she pay it back somehow. But, if Mika has better weapons, she’ll be able to kill things faster.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

If she kills things faster, we get to move to the next floor faster. Moving to the next floor is pretty much the only thing I care about at this point.

So anything that helps the team kill faster, I’m gonna do it.

I’m glad it’s just Mika and me with the real Players. Kimi and Y would have become impatient and left by now. Staab probably would have done ok, but Lily would have been stupid bored. Aya and Tig would have absolutely killed each other. The Sams… Well, Samantha would have been ok here. But Samuel and Samurai probably would have caused trouble. And Via just wouldn’t have been able to handle all the killing.

Mika is getting a little bored, same as me, but she agrees it’s important to understand how these people think. So we’ll try to stay with the Players as long as we can.

In other news, I think I’m gonna start a shared Family Inventory. Unless someone beats me to it. Being able to share stuff with my friends would be super nice, even if we’re like a dozen floors behind them or something. And if I wanted to send someone a message, I could just write them a letter.

…Wait.

We can basically email the Admin. There’s a message system. Can we message other people, too?

…

HOLY CRAP WE CAN!

Not just with the name, we need a number with it, but we can!

I can’t believe I’m just now realizing this! I mean, we always used sending stones to talk to people, and that was fine until we became Players and the sending stones got taken away. But if we knew the name and number of all our friends, we wouldn’t need sending stones!

I feel like this is a total “duh” moment.

Ok, I need to start a phone book of everyone in the dungeon.

But not if we’re killing everyone we meet.

…I need to figure out Lily’s number.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
