Dear Diary,

I finally managed to finish rearranging the dungeon rooms and started working on new ones. I've decided to fully embrace the pixie theme I've chosen for the second floor. The first challenge room on the floor is all about rainbows with rose bushes everywhere. Maybe pixies are only loosely related to rainbows, but it still seems like a fun way to do things. The challenge is fairly simple as you only have to pick the roses in the order of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. I never really bother with indigo because it's a bit confusing to tell the difference between it and blue / purple.

I also made a hopscotch-themed challenge room that is a bit fun and silly to play on the mischievous nature of pixies. There's two different paths that start and end at the same point, just before the entrance. One side is for those with magic while the other is for everyone else. I put wooden signs with instructions at regular intervals and everyone will have to follow the instructions in order for the door to unlock and let them out of the room. Some of them might seem a bit embarrassing like having to roar or spinning around in circles. Then, just to rub salt into the wound, they have to thank me for a fun challenge when they finish. Ahh... I just can't help but smile just thinking about it!

Unfortunately, I will have to wait until tomorrow to summon my first pixies. I'm really excited and nervous about meeting them. I hope they like their new home and that they don't mind helping out with the challenges. I'm only placing them in challenge rooms because I still have to have combat-focused monsters for the adventurers to fight. I don't want anyone to harm my pixies, but I understand that they will need experience in order for the dungeon to be worthwhile for them. Plus, I am supposed to be building up better defenses on this floor, even if I still don't feel great about it.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

For the monster field rooms, I plan to add a mix of al-mi'raj, or horned rabbits, and giant checkered rabbits. I'm hoping the harmless critters will make adventurers let down their guard, making it easier for the monster rabbits to get a few attacks in before they perish. Only having a horn for attacking with seems a bit restrictive, so I doubt they will be much of a match for anyone who can make it to the second floor. Afterall, it'll be a difficult fight for anyone who takes on my emperor rock slime, so those who make it to here have to be strong.

I do have a bit of concern over whether minors will end up in the boss room of the dungeon. As much as I'd like to pretend this world is all sunshine and rainbows with everything being perfectly fair and equal, it isn't. I mean sure, woman can lead parties and even own their own shops, which is already far better than anything medieval Europe would have allowed for. However, the rules of this world see it as fair for no one to be stopped from entering a dungeon who wishes to challenge it. It's even part of the dungeon accords these people live their lives by. The problem is, that means that a teenager could get overconfident fighting my basic slimes only to end up dying to my first floor boss monster. I don't want that...

Maybe it's best I stop here, it seems like dark thoughts are never far from my mind lately...
