A Journal

A Journal is one of the eight stories that you can find page by page littered through the dungeon.

A Journal is a 10 page story originally written by an unnamed orphan who had hoped to "study with the magi here", and, after being driven out, found their way to the entrance of the dungeon.

**Day 1: The Beginning**

*Damn these arrogant bastards! I traveled here thinking that I could enter the public examinations and study with the magi here. Instead, the council members of the Consortium scofffed at my humble origins (I am orphaned) and did not even bother asking my name! I swear they will rue the day they drove me out...*
*It's getting dark again and I have no monehy for an inn...*
*I found an abandoned mine near the outskirts of the forest. It seems it hasn'tbeen touched for many generations now, derelict and dirty. Well, who cares... at least there won't be anyone bothering.*
*I seem to have find something unusual here. These are crystals here oozing with magical energy! Those fools centuries ago probably didn't know the value of these things and just threw them in a pile. There should be more cristals deep in cave, I may have something interesting on my hands here...*
**Day 7: Interesting Experiments**

*These crystals are fascinating! When I tried a small spell on them, they resonated immediately, and power began pouring through the crystals...*
*I have begun experimenting with altering the local terrain here. I no longer have to worry about going huntry any more, but it's far from tapping their potential. I need to experiment on my spells a bit more. I think I will find some local "denizens" of this cave, and utilize these crystals on them, and see if there will be any changes on them...*
*I am really excited to see the results...*
**Day 23: I want more**

*Aha! Success! The little ones have changed a bit, only a bit I swear...*
*Beyond their appearance, they seem smarter, more aggressive, and seem to emjoy the alterations. They come to me everyday now as if begging for more magic power. Isn't that adorable? I think I can try taming them...*
*That's right, something else new happened today, I successfully transmuted an object! Now even piles of rotten wood can become treasure in a blink of eye. Now how should I begin preparing for my revenge...*
**Day 70: Getting Ready**

*What a memorable day!*
*After much preparation and waiting, I managed to trick a lost adventurer into my mine. This fool thinks the gods are smiling on him. He killed a few of my minor minions and "looted" treasure I quietly prepared for him.*
*Now it is only a matter of time before they start pouring in here. I still have to tweak my masterplan a bit during this time, but I can hardly contain my excitement...*
*Come brave adventurers, I am ready for you...*
**Day 256: Being Famous**

*My master creation has become famous all over the the world! The fools are swarming over the place like bees to honey. It makes no difference if they are the best warriors sent by those arrogant kings, or rogues seeking opportunity with their petty designs. The are all now my puppets to toy as I please...*
*A tavern has even sprung up nearby to serve the adventurers who have come, how delightfully foolish...*
*I hear the prayers of the people thanking god for their fortune. That's right, my cave is a miracle for some of you, isn't it? And I, am your god...*
**Day 380: The Greedy Cave**

*Humans are a really low, and selfish race. When it comes to benefit, they will lie to each other's facesin order to engender cooperation! I want to see these puppets fighting over the "treasures" which I created with my spells...*
*They no longer seem to trust each other now and in order to get better loot, are resorting lying, cheating and stealing. It's only a matter of time someone will pay for it in blood...*
*Greed is corrupting their hearts...*
*As a matter of fact, it's a good time to name my great masterplan. Well, the Greedy Cave seems the perfect name...*
**Day 594: Great Spell**

*I made a breakthrough in my research recently, with the power of the crystal, I opened a gate to another plane! This gate seems to be contributing to changes in the creature population in the cave. Of course, there maybe some new introductions of "friends" to this cavern...*
*The deaths in cave keep increasing, which is causing problems with clearing out bodies.I think I discovered a way to transfer residual energy in these bodies to my own. I will try to absorb some and see how it tastes... Delicious...*
*My body seems to have changed a bit these days, I', not quite sure but I will try to keep a record...*
