Entry Thirty Nine

Dear Diary,

Earlier this morning, I used the temple schematic to make an altar to the goddess of love and beauty. It is a bit surreal to go from living in a world where there are so many different religions and no real, definitive proof that any of them are correct. So many people say to just have faith, that the proof is in everything around you. However, science can explain everything from the moon and stars to the reason why things are the colors we perceive. Such explanations were always easier to accept since there was always enough logic and proof to show it was real.

I can't say for sure, but it seems like a lot of this world also works on the same rules that my old one did. It's just that there is more added to it all. There is magic and systems that govern the way this world works. Everyone follows the dungeon accords, regardless of what kingdom they are from and what role they play in society, no one is exempt. Adventurers have their systems for leveling up, gaining experience, and interacting with everything around them. Meanwhile, I have on for managing my dungeon that allows me to set up rules and create the dungeon of my dreams within the limitations given to me.

When you add the idea of patron deities, gods and goddesses, to all of that, things seem even more complicated. I don't know what the lore and religions are like outside of the dungeon, but it seems strange for there the be dieties dedicated to certain things without them playing some role in how those things were conceived or interacted with in this world. Did the goddess of love and beauty create the concept of love and define what was perceived as beauty in this world? Otherwise, is it more so that she is simply a medium for one to show their appreciation of what would already exist in this world regardless of her interference? I have no way of knowing the answers to any of these questions as I can't directly talk to the goddess, nor do I have anyone suitable to ask.

My system is not all-knowing as it is limited to dungeon basics and what happens within my dungeon. It's supposed to be an extension of the dungeon core, which has no way of ever leaving the dungeon, so it makes sense that it wouldn't know much. I can't even create whatever I want without having the knowledge to back it up. Some concepts I know enough about that the dungeon can make the rest of the connection, other things are common enough technology in this world that it doesn't matter what I know, and the rest I either have to give up or find someone to make a prototype for me. Still, I think I've made plenty of progress using what knowledge I was able to obtain in my old life.

Well, I should get going now. I have more work today and I'd rather not waste too much time here.
