Dear Diary,


    I''ve been spending most of my time since unlocking the second floor rearranging the rooms on the first floor. Some of the rooms I''ve even moved to the second floor, like my challenge based on the language of flowers. It was too difficult and so not very many people were able to finish it. I have no plans to lock any doors on the first floor as I want to keep things low-stakes, but I''m hardly willing to be as generous on the second floor. My life is at stake here, even if its easy to forget about that, at times.


    For some reason, hardly anyone has been visiting the dungeon ever since I unlocked my newest floor. I''m not sure why that is, but it''s genuinely only been David, Avorn, and Camellia. Considering I have a contract with all three of them, it''s all too easy to assume that''s why they haven''t suddenly disappeared as well. I can''t seem to help but second-guess myself. Have I done something to scare everyone away? Perhaps I am unaware of some sort of societal norms this world has that my last one did not. I''m not exactly a mind reader...


    I think I''m the most disappointed that Elivyre hasn''t been visiting me. I know a few days or even weeks seems like very little time at all for her, she had said as much to me before. I may even feel the same one day, but that day most certainly isn''t today. Even with how time blurs in my dungeon, one day melding into the next, with very little way to tell how much time has passed, I still feel lonely.

    I''m planning to add some pixies to the dungeon soon enough, but the dungeon just isn''t ready for that yet. I have to finish rearranging everything, design some challenge rooms, and ensure the pixies will feel at home. I''ll also need to research a new spawner with a higher limit so I can put two of them in the same room. I hope that will be sufficient for them as I doubt I''ll be able to do any better than that, but I know the system says they''re supposed to be social creatures who like to be surrounded by their own kind. It would be a shame if I had to wait until I unlock a few more floors to have someone to consistently talk to, though...


    For my monster field rooms, I''ve been keeping things more simple. Just some fruit bushes, briar patch traps, and both horned rabbits and giant checkered rabbits. I''m hoping to help my monster rabbits have the element of surprise by catching adventurers off their guard with the more ordinary rabbits. There is no way of knowing if my efforts will be successful without people exploring the second floor, though, so who knows how things will work out.


    Maybe I''m moping a bit too much, but I just can''t seem to help it. I''m disappointed with this turn of events. I''m going to get back to work now, but I''ll keep you posted.
