Dear Diary,
Theodore was so sweet and thoughtful! He gifted me a magic bag just because he thought I would need it for my merchant activities. It's really great because I can carry a lot more in it without it feeling any heavier than a normal satchel when it is empty, yet it holds an entire 50 kilograms! They are a tad expensive, though, which I only learned after absorbing the gift... Probably should have thought that one out a little more, but I was able to make a new one after spending my entire max capacity of mana.
From what I've learned about it, nothing put in the bag will spoil either. Considering I mostly have potions and food goods to sell, that's going to come in handy. Especially since I'm starting to doubt anyone wants to buy these potions, but it just seems to wasteful to just get rid of them. I might need to heal someone later on down the line and it isn't like I have a ton of spare mana right now, so it wouldn't do to be wasteful.
Luckily, Elivyre has offered to trade me some other potions and herbs for my entire potion supply. It'll have to wait until another day, but I'm not sure when exactly. I know she can't always stop by the dungeon since she has to watch over her own shop. It's a bit sad, really, as I love it when she visits with me. She's still the only friend I've made in this new world I find myself living in.

In other news, I'm really close to being able to afford to build my second floor. I probably just need to make one or two more sales. I'm just going to focus on sweets, though, since that seems to be the primary seller around her. Elivyre had a good point about how my sales opportunities might just be limited due to being in a dungeon. If everyone buys their potions before entering the dungeon, then they no longer need to buy more. At least, they won't have to restock on the first floor. Sweets don't seem to be super common outside the dungeon, which fits with the semi-medieval setting this world has going on for it. So my unusual store pricing isn't as big of a deal when I'm offering something that's rare or unique. I just have to focus more on things like that.
I've even considered the possibility of making products that are shop-specific instead of being available as rewards in my dungeon as well. However, I can't really afford to devote resources to that right now. I need to unlock my second floor before anything else so that I can decrease the chances of anyone making it to my dungeon core room. I'm too vulnerable right now and there really isn't much I can do about it.
I'm honestly really glad that I can't have nightmares anymore. All of my dreams are just memories from my past life, after all. I doubt I'd want to sleep very much if I could have nightmares since all the stress I'm constantly under would likely lead to some rather strange dreams. Honestly, a nap sounds good right about now...
