Dear Diary,
The last two weeks have passed much the same as the previous ones. The dungeon remains quiet and I have yet to receive any new visitors. My new skill called ''Guest List'' would have alerted me right away, so I know I''m not just coincidentally missing anyone. David continues to cause be passive-aggressive. I''m constantly worried he will escalate things.
It bothers me that no one is visiting and I can''t help but find myself feeling insecure. Did I scare them away? What could it possibly have been? Even Elivyre has yet to show up. I miss our conversations and how peaceful her visits always were. It felt like she genuinely cared for me, so I can''t help but worry that something may have happened to her. I hope I can find out, one way or another, soon. I could really use the peace of mind.
I''ve considered asking David for news of the outside world, but I can''t help but feel wary of what he may do. His responses to even the simplest of questions tend to too often be unhelpful and he''s only been getting more unstable of late. I still haven''t been trading as much as he''d like and I know that has been affecting his mood. However, I already have enough problems of my own without worrying about him throwing a tantrum over something so minor.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent.

My mental health has really been struggling lately, so I''ve slowed down on the dungeon building. I''m trying to focus on small comforts, instead, like spending time with my new pixies. They are always so bright and cheerful and it has been the only thing I really have to help me get through these, otherwise, monotonous days. Jasmine and Daisy are particularly excited about the dungeon plans, and even Lily is slowly warming up to me. Still, even despite how much joy they bring to my life, I''m not sure I''ll be able to truly relax until I know what is going on.
Despite how few people have been visiting the dungeon, I haven''t had to worry about running low on resources. My rental agreement with Avorn and Camellia has ensured I get a steady stream each night and it has been slowly adding up. When I do choose to trade with David, he had been paying me in oak leaves, bark, and mason jars after learning I would accept them as payment. While it is true that having a lot of resources is just as effective for the dungeon''s development as receiving new items, I just don''t feel like it''s worth arguing over.
It seems a bit dangerous to continue swordsmanship training with David, but it is also hard to just stop the lessons either. The system contract I have with him is supposed to prevent him from killing me or seriously harming me, so my worries would seem misplaced if I said anything. I''m just glad that he is a capable enough warrior to make the sparring sessions worthwhile. I''ll just have to hope that things don''t get worse.
