To nobody’s surprise, instead of the entire octopus, only the pink tentacle emerging from the water next to me answered my angry call, making me curse under my breath.
I immediately spat fire at where it stuck out from before it could drag me under water again, but the whole thing dodged to the side unlike all the previous times. It then lashed out at me in a horizontal swipe and I only...
2024-07-20 04:13:03 +0000 UTC View PostI should probably be more disturbed by the fact that the system can axe my brainpower and turn me into a drooling idiot. I mean, what if the system one day just decided to do that without me even doing anything? If the system could give me access to skills, who was to say that it couldn’t also take away my skills? Heck, it had done that already, what with it tempor...

“–and that’s it for today’s mystery solving stream! Thanks for coming, everyone! I’ll see you tomorrow, where we hopefully finish off this dungeon!”
I grinned at John, masking my still-present anxiety.
Hey, I was a Vcuber for a reason. Getting out in front...
2024-07-13 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up with my face snuggled into something very soft and comfortable.
For a split second, I thought that the entire isekai situation could have maybe been just a weird dream, but then I quickly realized what was going on.
“G’morning, chat… G’morning, Mr. Gargles,” I mumbled while hugging my awesome turtle plushie closer.
I continued to lay there, already thinking...
2024-07-12 02:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI approached the miniature tree with caution, wondering where it had come from.
Had someone sneakily planted it here while I’d been in the dungeon? Or was it something I had done? What would–
Oh.
Wait.
Hold on.

KaiEbikoOfficial: it rained too
Of course. The...
2024-07-11 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI belatedly realized that the tentacle was probably the boss of this floor.
Sure, it wasn’t all big and imposing like the other bosses, but it was damn persistent and really hard to damage in any meaningful way. Not to mention, I’d found it inside a large open room, just like the other two bosses.
So yes, probably the boss.
I should have gone with the kiddy s...
2024-07-10 02:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostGetting out of the tunnel back to the golden gate was pretty easy. In fact, I had a sneaking suspicion that the space warped around me to ensure that it was the only way for me to go no matter what direction I picked.
When I tried going back toward the tunnels though, I couldn’t for the life of me find a way. The space just kept bending away from me. It felt so uncanny to be bl...
2024-07-09 02:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostMy butt skidded down the wet plastic surface at terminal velocity and I had to force myself to keep my eyes wide open, while gritting my teeth so that I wouldn’t scream on my way down. The result was a screech reminiscent of a dying kitten.
All I felt was regret at the moment.
Why did I listen to chat again?
Then, at last, I hit the bottom, the nearly vertical drop abruptly ...
2024-07-08 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey there, everyone!
Somehow, I completely missed the fact that it's a new month and forgot to post an update... whoops.
Anywho, what's new this month?
Honestly, not that much. I keep working on Weaver, hoping that I'll one day finish the first dungeon so the story can finally move on. Unfortunately for me, the words just keep multiplying! Seriously, my initial outline had Nan...

2024-07-02 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI walked past the pools of death water while carefully scanning my surroundings. My hands gripped my naginata, ready to strike at anything trying to ambush me.
As soon as I was between two different pools, I heard sloshing to the side and whirled around while pointing my weapon at the threat.
As expected, something was coming out of the water.
It looked like all ...
2024-07-01 02:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up with a groan as I blinked away the sleepiness.
For the first time since I’d found myself in this world, I wasn’t confused about where I was when I woke up.
Had I finally accepted my situation?
“Morning, chat,” I mumbled and got up from the floor.
Sleeping on the hard floor of the dungeon probably wasn’t the best for my back, ugh. I needed to find a pr...
2024-06-30 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI took another sip of the Tempor Juice I’d gotten from the second floor’s boss and let out a satisfied sigh.
“Still tastes great, chat. But I can’t really tell at all if it did anything… Let’s see…”
I extended my hand and with a quick flip of the mental switch, my fused sword was in my hand again.
“Alright! Looks like it did work.” I nodded wi...
2024-06-27 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe orange blob came loose from the glove and turned back into the pen as I admired the amazing piece of art on the table I’d drawn with the glove’s fingers. Anyone who said that my mighty dragon looked terrible was wrong.
Anyway, this combination had worked exactly how I expected it to. It had retained the bubble ability while gaining the ability to draw with the finger...
2024-06-26 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI tried the most obvious thing first – fusing my two weapons into one. As cool as dual wielding was, it wasn’t really my thing. I much preferred to have one strong weapon. Quality over quantity and all that.
If only I could get my hands on a greataxe or a halberd or something like that…
Anyway, I pulled out both the sword and the key, brought them together, and prodded at the ...
2024-06-25 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAnother day, another non-euclidean maze.
Honestly, I didn’t even expect anything else at this point. The first time was shocking, the second time was annoying, but by now it was an old routine like waking up, brushing my teeth, and having breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, this particular maze was going to drive me nuts with its delicious fast food smells but a distin...
2024-06-22 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up with a startled confusion as something wet hit my cheek.
“Wha…Whuh…?”
I blinked my eyes open, waving my hands around to slap away at whoever had decided to prank me by spitting on me.
Then I immediately remembered that I was still in a seemingly empty world and that if there was someone else around, then that would be a good thing, even...

Cool. I guess the coin toss hadn’t done any damage at all.

I yelped and rushed to stand up to avoid the giant’s charge even as my good hand fished out the potion from my backpack.
I jumped to the side, ignoring the pain in my side from the landing, and used my teeth to pry off the vial’s cork. Then I shoved the vial into my mouth and bit down on the opening to keep it in place.
I had no time to wait for the stupid thing to drip down aga...
2024-06-19 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned.
“Not this again…” I grumbled as I stared at the little screen sourly. “Do I have to, chat? Is it even a good idea to activate these? What if I’ve already blocked myself from the boss room because I activated the others?” I tried to bargain with myself.
GonguuH: you probably need to activate all of them to find the boss room

I glared at the windows in front of me even as I tried to calm my panting.

I stared at the blade in front of me in deep concentration, my expression set into a heavy frown.
Less fire, more lightning. Come on…
The blade burst into flames again as small sparks of electricity fizzled out of it.
I groaned.

2024-06-09 02:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe inside of the giant locker was dark, but also spacious. I had no idea how far away the walls were, and I couldn’t see anything but the metallic floor under my feet, even with my sword lighting up the way.
The clacking of my shoes echoed in this horrible space and I couldn’t help but feel on edge. I barely made it a few steps inside before I had a sudden sense of dread and whirled ...
2024-06-03 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWhen my eyes fluttered open, I was greeted by an unfamiliar sight. Ceiling that felt way too far away, and rows of lockers on both sides that looked stretched to crazy lengths.
I blinked several times, trying to make sense of this odd optical illusion. Before I could though, two blue windows appeared in my field of view.

Hey there, everyone!
I hope you're all doing great! I'm enjoying the sunny days and I've been very productive lately, managing to write roughly 37k words in the month of May! Writing is now, once again, part of my regular daily routine.
With that said, I would like to talk about how I do my writing.

“You think this does something…?” I murmured.
There was a tiny screen in front of me at the side of one of the locker walls. It was so unassuming, my brain had registered it as part of the background until Irid in chat had pointed it out to me.

I hummed and slowly approached it, raising my hand to touch the screen with the bracelet. The mom...
2024-05-31 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSince it was supposed to be another ‘floor’, I expected stairs going down beyond the door, but nope. I instead found myself inside a regular old locker room you would typically see in a water park. Except twisted.
Tiled floor, lockers that were about ten storeys tall, and an occasional bench. The whole place smelled strongly of chlorine.
I carefully looked around withou...
2024-05-30 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI let out a sigh as I plopped down on my butt and blinked at the window and the chest.
My mimic senses were tingling, wanting me to make sure that giant chest wasn’t one, but part of me doubted that a boss chest would be a mimic, especially since this was supposed to be a D-rank dungeon.
Still, I took no chances, I kept my eyes on it while I crawled around to retrieve my bucket, h...
2024-05-29 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI kicked the door closed, but it was probably too late. The mist had already made it inside.
With my arm still injured, my Ether probably running low, and the fight either resetting or getting much harder now, I saw no other option than to run.
My sword back in my sheath and bucket held in my good hand, I ran.
It didn’t take long for me to hear the door being slammed open ag...
