As expected, another slime appeared. I’m glad that I took the time to put a magic barrier before sleeping last night because the slime was loitering near the food pile, looking hungry. I killed it before it could do anything else, and propped its remains near its predecessor. I checked the first slime remains, and it seems to need another day for it to dry properly.
Moving on with the day, I once again did a thorough scan of the cavern. This time, instead of using the radar spell, I manually explored the nooks and crannies of this huge place. Perhaps I might have missed something obvious, I thought. After all, the radar spell cannot tell color or smell. But similar to yesterday’s result, I couldn’t find anything. This cavern is barren of man-made mechanisms, magical or physical means, which makes me more curious on how or why exactly I ended up here.
In the afternoon, tired from all the walking around, I ended up taking a nap. I dreamt of flying freely out in the open sky before waking up in the middle of the night to have dinner, fulfill my toilet needs, and write in this journal.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Oh, right, in case anyone is wondering, I’ve been fulfilling my toilet needs using a makeshift toilet a distance away from where I sleep. I called it a makeshift toilet, but actually I just dug a deep hole into the ground using the dig spell. I dug at least two meters deep near an air hole in the wall. To further prevent the resulting smell from covering the whole cavern, I sacrificed one of my old shirts on top as a cover. It was already ragged from all the dungeon delving I had, so I won’t miss it that much.
Excluding set of equipments that I’m wearing, here’s a rough image of my current inventory: a sleeping bag, a pouch of dried medicinal herbs, some bandages, two bottles of lesser health potions, a bottle of lower mana potion, two sets of clothes to change (incl. undergarments), this journal, a coat, a raincoat, a case, a magical stationery kit for basic rune, a dagger knife, a bar of soap, twenty meters rope, two water pouches, two sheets of towels, a metal cup, silver cutlery set, pouch full of silver powder, ……
