Chapter 303: Cycle 54 (2)

Dear Diary,

Floor 93.5 has a portal area where there’s a swirly portal to every floor (except Floor 93). It’s a part of the amusement park, and the portals glow in different colors. It’s super pretty.

But! Since there’s a portal to every floor, this means we can kidnap all the wolves! And all the velociraptors, but only Avi and I are excited about that.

Soooo the Floor 97 kobolds have set up basically a doggy daycare, and are pampering the heck out of all the wolves. A few of us were worried the wolves wouldn’t all become friends, but getting lots of love and treats makes them ok with the other doggos. It helps that the Floor 94 dire wolves and the Floor 7 wolves are already used to us giving them food and love. Two wolf packs being thrilled to be around us made all the other wolf packs less suspicious.

Operation Befriend All Creatures is a success!

…All Creatures Except Slimes. I will never befriend a slime. It might be the nicest, most friendliest slime in the history of slimes, and no. I won’t be its friend.

In other news, there’s a second part to Floor 93.5 now! So, there’s a ferris wheel. At the very top, you can touch the ceiling. Last cycle someone decided to take a spiderclimb potion, and found out it was possible to go from the ferris wheel to the ceiling.

So this cycle there’s a whole new upside-down park on the ceiling! It’s just grass and flowers, but it’s super pretty. And it smells good. It’s cool to look up from the hedge maze and see people walking around on a grassy field. It feels like… Like a reminder that this place is magic. Yes, we’re in a dungeon full of random floors where one will have a volcano and the next be Snow World, but it’s still easy to forget.

…I don’t know if this place is real or not. I mean, it feels real. But it treats universal laws (like gravity) as suggestions. So am I really here, or do I just think I am?

But then that leads to a whole bunch more questions that I am not qualified to answer. Some of those things the Admin might not even know the answer to. So I’ll just not ask.

Instead I’ll focus on non-complicated things, like how Gin has a boyfriend! She’s the one who made all the food the kiosks at the amusement park sell (the Admin asked for a couple things, then copied them into the System so it could reproduce them endlessly), and one guy decided the creator of those recipes was the love of his life. He’s a hobgoblin from Floor 71, and used to be a cook in a barbecue place. So far they’ve had two dates, where they spent most of their time making food as unhealthy as possible. She says it isn’t love for her yet, but she’s agreed to a third date, so we’ll see how that goes.

All I know is it’ll involve boiling things in chocolate syrup. She asked me for a dozen bottles of the stuff.

I need to go distract myself before morbid curiosity takes over and I ask to join them.

Goodnight, Dungeon!
