Feeling good enough to write again, most likely should have waited a bit more but I literally needed to write the next chapter.

I concentrated a bit more on Ace and his hideout. It seemed like he was finally starting to fix his skill problem, and it seemed like Ziiipe was willing ...
2024-09-26 15:58:57 +0000 UTC View PostNo chapter today for sure as I am sick and it feels like it's not going to be something I recover in a day or two. I hope I am wrong.
My overall health has been getting worse so in the future there might be more interruptions in the upload schedule.
Also if I am going to miss a day or two on uploads I will announce them on my disc...

My minder was starting to get suspicious. Fortunately, he seemed to be quite busy with something they weren’t talking to me about, and a lot of diamond ranks have left my city. Fortunately, I have made some contacts that can keep me informed of things. It seems that some faction or group is determined to reveal the d...

I watched as she walked away, curiously looking every which way at new things she had never seen before. Her real form was quite powerful-looking, but it was quite weird to see a creature with six legs. Father tells me that she’s the first to reach platinum rank in his new playroom, but honestly, I can’t imagine ho...
2024-09-19 16:16:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt was time for another breakthrough, but I was so fascinated watching what was happening in the 47th playroom. The adventurers were also starting to worry, as I hadn’t even opened up the 45th-floor dungeon rooms.
It was all part of our plan, and I hoped that it would work as intended. I was getting kind of frustrated that I...
2024-09-18 16:27:04 +0000 UTC View PostWith the floor guardian done, it was time to move on to the skill section of my breakthrough. I slowly increased the Planned Evolution skill until it finally reached S rank. That was my biggest worry, and I even had a few percent left to put into Creature Making. I finished my breakthrough and reconnected with my dungeon. A breakthrough was alwa...
2024-09-17 16:33:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe 46th floor, and more specifically its playroom, was going to be for platinum ranks, but it was going to be a nice place to live. While there would be dangerous areas for those who would want it, this playroom was mainly for the creatures who have already reached platinum rank from the two next following playrooms that I will designate Farm O...
2024-09-16 14:32:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe 45th floor was coming along nicely. The only problem was that it was a bit too big. I was definitely going to have to increase the height soon so most of the volume of the floor would simply be air, which was a lot easier to manage and meant that I wouldn’t have to spend so much time on a single floor.
Currently, the hei...
2024-09-12 16:12:39 +0000 UTC View PostTime continued to march on, and it had been many years since I stopped my work on the 44th floor. Changing my main pathway that I connected to the outside world, which allowed me to continue living, was way more difficult than I ever expected.
There wasn’t a good way to explain this feeling, but it sort of felt like I needed...

I was still not completely sure about what would happen in the future with the ants and their colonies outside of my dungeon, but it seems like that was the start of many problems.
More and more platinum ranks were not just arriving but also advanced from gold rank inside the dungeon rooms. ...

I was moving towards the descent tunnel with the words of Father still rattling around in my mind. I do not know if I would have been able to give such permission, to purposely let go and weaken yourself. There’s so much to learn from this decision, and I now kind of don’t want to do my job, but it is my job, an...

The sky playroom was slowly starting to develop an ecosystem while I was working on the next playroom. This one was going to take longer as it was going to be entirely underground. At first, I didn’t realize I had missed such an important part of this world’s ecosystem, but to my credit, how could I have k...

I punched away a stone guardian and was pleased to see that it had only small cracks. More and more of them were waking up around these ruins. Every floor seems to have a type of ruin or a few different types, and almost always there's some sort of stone golem.
While they don't give much loot, they ...

It didn't take long for my presence to be noticed and for a patrol ship to start approaching my location. These creatures were highly regulated, and hunting them without permission had quite a severe punishment.
Even though a lot of resources were put into hunting and protecting them, it was still p...

The wind was sweeping past me fast as I got closer to the trade wind, letting me accelerate towards the west and a little bit to the north. I was going basically parallel to the trade wind, but unfortunately, I wouldn’t be able to enter it as that would take me in the wrong direction.
I loved my s...

"Stop being so glum. None of the pirates were stupid enough to attempt another attack, even if you offered them so much gold. If you were in their shoes, would you have done it?" My wife made another reasonable and completely logical statement, and I just looked at her, still in complete denial.

2024-08-30 07:25:03 +0000 UTC View PostI finished expanding the 42nd floor, which meant it was now time to decide on how I wanted the floor to look. This was going to be a warmer world, but there was still going to be a bit of winter in some places.
The oxygen levels also needed to be a bit higher, but not as high as my bug playrooms. For plants and creatures, I wa...
2024-08-29 16:15:12 +0000 UTC View PostI have been just observing my latest playroom after having finished it nearly three weeks ago. It was simply so relaxing to view. How the floating islands slowly moved, and how the rivers meandered through the sky, slowly going downwards.
Life here seems to be growing at an exponential rate, as there are so many base resources...
2024-08-28 15:40:58 +0000 UTC View PostSo I am still struggling to write homesteading and feel that even when I finish it it will not really be the ending it deserves. It feels too short. I did come up with a different approach but there's also a huge problem with that.
So right now the story simply continues where it left off where the written stuff ends I have everything pl...

I watched how some of my most brilliant creatures interacted with each other after just completing one of the most dangerous missions they have ever been on. It was necessary to send them with Ace to that meeting out there in the Black Ocean, and we did get some good information that has helped me connect more...

"Hello, Father. It’s good to be back," I said to a human who wasn't acting quite normally. Father was, once again, using one of his monsters to talk to us. He had already taken all my memories using some new technique, so he knew everything that happened, but I understood why he would want a report from us. I’ve a...

The dark ocean wasn’t what I was expecting. I expected a world of shadow, and while I guess it somewhat is that, you can't really see the shadows up close. It seems like the sun has no trouble piercing this shadow-like fog at least this high up.
We still had to fly entirely with instruments, but my...

Why was there so much paperwork today? Just report after report that I needed to read and give orders on how to act upon them. But I guess things have been busy for quite a while now. It's because so many adventurers are coming here, which means a lot of management is needed to keep everything functioning properly. Tha...

Our camp went silent when we all felt the rumble. Back in the day, we celebrated when this happened. Now, I saw faces of disappointment and frustration.

They both sent their best champions who were close by, although the Ant Nations had a lot more strength. Overall, they...

I am sick and I am afraid this will last longer than a day or two. Ps. don't go swimming even during summer when the temperature is too low. Hopefully I will get better soon but from previous experiences this might last a bit :(
2024-08-12 06:12:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhile all of the undead stuff happened, I was expanding the 40th floor, and I decided to shrink both the length and width so I could make the height 14 kilometers. While the volume remained the same, the length of this floor was now 70,000 kilometers and the width 60,000.
I also knew what playroom I wanted to make, and for tha...
2024-08-09 07:01:38 +0000 UTC View PostI finally finished expanding the 39th floor. It was a big one, and I think on the next floor I will reduce the size but increase the height. Currently, the height is just 3400 meters, and while that’s plenty big, I have some vertical floor plans and perhaps I would even mess with the direction of gravity, but I think it might be a bit too soon...
