Day 104

I read again today, and at the rate I'm going it’ll be ten or eleven more days until I'm done with this book. It’s bigger on the inside than the outside, almost certainly due to the magic that the author used to make it.

It was all fascinating. The book covers everything from the fundamentals of magic too ancient history, and its done in a way that makes me feel like I am learning with the creatures I am reading about.

Unfortunately, I am mostly incompatible with the methods origin used to do magic, but I am compatible enough, due to my state of being a mana based creature, that maybe I could adapt those methods to be used by myself. It would take time, a lot of it, but significantly less than it would for me to do the same on my own.

One thing at a time though, perfecting the art of creating life comes first.

Anyway, Good Night Diary

Day 105

I had to take a break too eat this morning. I’ve never really gone without food for so long without also going without any kind of nourishment, something I never want to repeat, so it was surprising how hungry I was getting. Naturally, it still wasn’t necessary for me to eat, but it is uncomfortable.

Anyway, after eating i got back to reading. Today I came across the part that details the creation of dungeons. It wasn’t as detailed as the rest, but that makes sense as even among origin it was only known by a handful of individuals exactly how they were created. However, it did give a pretty good idea about why they continue to be created and what exactly they do. The reason they were created in the first place is because they were running out of mana, so a couple of them worked together to take some large gems and make them produce mana, and they were somehow successful at making them produce mana from nothing, eventually those gems obtained sentience and as a result became a very free spirited people, hence the birth of the modern dungeon. It also mentioned earlier how plants at the time weren't able to create mana, though based on what was said here I'm not sure that's actually what plants do.

The reason why dungeons continue to pop up is also pretty weird, and still a little confusing to me. It referenced ‘the laws of the world’ frequently, without explaining exactly what that is, though I do get the gist of it from context. It seems these ‘laws of the world’ govern how everything in the world works, like evolution and many forms of magic, though not all it seems. What they did was add to these laws somehow, it had nothing on how they did it, to make the world itself create dungeons when various criteria are met. Obviously so they could always have access to more mana.

Anyway, that's all for tonight. Good Night Diary
