Weaver #097 - Technically, it’s the same spot, according to the map

Chomp.

“Mmmm! Chat, this is absolutely delicious!” I exclaimed while probably making an expression like someone from a cooking anime.

Honestly, there was something incredibly peaceful about sleeping under a tree you had grown yourself.

Well, I hadn’t really done all that much other than forget about the frui...

Weaver #096 - What do you mean I can’t be the tentacle queen, yet?

I sighed.

“Look, all I’m saying is that the octopus was totally fine,” I argued, still perched near a wall, while my ultradry towel lowered the water level in the boss room. “Like, yeah, it would make sense that changing the flow of time for just one of my limbs would probably screw up with all sorts of things but… ...

Weaver #095 - Remember me, calamari?!

I breathed out and smiled in relief as I looked upon the water park’s entrance archway that seemed a lot smaller than I remembered it.

“Hello there, old buddy. Long time no see.”

After a short bout of tree-walking training and sleeping through the night, I’d walked all the way back here. It had taken me almost the entire day,...

February 2025 update

Hello, everyone!

I wanted to apologize for the lack of updates last month, but it really was hard to find the time and energy to write...

...Or at least, that was the excuse I would keep telling myself. But really, the main issue here was that I wasn't using the time and energy that I did have very wisely.

Ironica...

Weaver #094 - Maybe he has a work phone I could try?

A/N: There's a section in this chapter that's meant to have a different font and font size, but unfortunately, Patreon doesn't allow for that. (¬_¬")

So if you want, I included a pdf file with what this chapter should look like. Enjoy!

Weaver #093 - I knew this skill would be useful one day

Into my backpack the huge sack of tomatoes went.

Just like the pots from the giant merchant’s – ogre’s? – floor, there was no reason for me to ignore all of this juicy stuff. More food variety could only be a good thing.

Once I pillaged as much as I could without risking passing the one hour time limit, I steeled myself, walk...

Weaver #092 - I’m not interested in room service!

Floor six was a sprawling kitchen. Sinks, counters, ovens, and bags – presumably filled with ingredients – filled the place. It kinda reminded me of the fast food buildings in the water park dungeon. Except for the whole non-euclidean maze thing, at least.

“Kitchen? Didn’t we already fight a cooking demon…?” I asked as I cautio...

January 2025 update

Happy new year, everyone!

I hope you're all still doing well! Thank you for still following/supporting me!

I'll be honest, I haven't gotten nearly as much writing done as I would have liked this past month. Not gonna lie, the first month in my new work was pretty brutal, mainly because of how hectic things were around Christmas, but ...

Weaver #091 – You’re projecting, I’m just here to beat the dungeon

A/N: Heya, just a little heads up: I made a bit of a plot hole due to mixing up what skills Nana had available back in chapter 84, where she used Fusion while it was still on cooldown, so I went back and made some edits there. Cheers!

Weaver #090 - Time to bum-rush this place!

I didn’t even shudder as I entered the city dungeon and instead leaned into the feelings of determination and comradery the dungeon injected into me. It felt that much more appropriate with Ebiko in chat again today.

I did my best to push away the fridge horror that was the incausal rift achievement names. The...

Weaver #088 - I’m starting to feel bad about trying to conquer this place

trelipideliberitation: can you go thru the fog?

I stopped short of the building I was walking toward and turned to look into the thick fog that blocked the streets leading out of the market square.

“...I dunno. It looks like I’m not supposed to go there though.” I hummed.

December 2024 update

Hello, everyone.

I got some good news and some bad news.

It's actually the same news: I got a new job.

That means that I hopefully won't have to worry about money in the near future, but also, I'm going to have a lot less time and energy for writing from now on.

Of course, I appreciate every one of you who supported me th...

Weaver #087 - He didn’t even show me his wares

I furrowed my brows in confusion at the open square.

“Wait, what? No, I wanna continue, dungeon! Not go back!”

I closed the door, wished really hard to continue to the next boss, and then opened the door again.

Nothing changed.

I stared at the scene with more confusion.

Was… that it? That cou...

Weaver #086 - Mine now!

My strategy was simple.

Gun and shield.

The first time I’d faced the archer, I could only try to dodge and was too slow to do so. But now I had a shield which hopefully could block her shots. Although if they were armor-piercing as so many people in chat had theorized, I would still have to do my best to dodge.

As fo...

Weaver #085 - Why do they have to be humanoid?

“I’m back,” I growled at the gate of the city dungeon.

With my enhanced key sword in my right hand, my gun self in my left hand, and my main body covered in my super armor self shaped like clothes, I was ready to rock this place. No damn armor-piercing poisoned arrows would stop me.

Weaver #084 - All set and ready to dungeoneer!

I gasped heavily and my entire body ached from running around and literally putting out fires for quite literally the entire day and night. It was actually the next day in the afternoon now and I hadn’t even slept.

I looked at my crystal flask to see that I’d ended up drinking almost half of it just to keep going. The shower head I’d...

Weaver #083 - The way back was so much easier

Unfortunately, even after wandering around in the darkness – ugh, after that boss, it really unnerved me, even with Heat Vision and the light from Flameguard – for a little while, all I managed to find was the end of the hole.

It just… ended. There was nothing interesting at the end.

Well, okay. Maybe being able to walk inside ...

Weaver #082 – And that’s how I met my beloved weapon

Once I got my daily required dose of Jeoff trolling and recovered a little, I went ahead and opened the big boss chest, my flaming glove lighting the way.

Four items greeted me inside. A pile of crystalline scales, a small ring, a new type of system ticket I hadn’t seen before, and–

I gasped in delight.

Weaver #081 - Ow, my brain!

As I got deeper and deeper into the hole, there was less and less light. And despite my new sleek glove being able to produce sparks, it actually absorbed light instead of producing them – however the heck that worked – so it wasn’t of any help.

My other sources of light used to be my sword… which I’d lost, and then...

Weaver #080 - I wonder if that’s gonna stay flooded

As I walked around the rim of the hole, feeling like I was on a ringworld, I arrived at one of those vibrating cracked rocky places I’d seen before.

It made me wonder just how the heck it could keep vibrating like this. What powered it? What had caused it to be like this?

Unfortunately, the question would have to wait...

Weaver #079 - Gravity is just an illusion anyway

Unfortunately, both the gun and my clothes only accepted one type of mana each. I’d tried testing it and they both basically worked like a battery. Or maybe a capacitor. They stored additional power and I could draw on them at any point to either restore my own reserves or to use them directly. It helped that both of them were essentially me, ...

Weaver #078 - I won’t neglect preparing for round two this time

I stared at the part of me that was a water gun.

This felt so so much weirder than the clothes. At least the clothes were vaguely me-shaped but this…

Weaver #077 - Hey, roleplaying is literally in my job description

Miracle of all miracles, no monsters spawned while I lay there uselessly in the middle of a dangerous dungeon.

Weaver #076 - I take it back!

I encountered a dozen more crystal lizards and three more sapphire snakes on my way to the hole. The lizards were easy and I quickly figured out how to fight the snakes and anticipate their… sapphirification hiss.

Weaver #075 - This feels a lot easier than the first dungeon

I kept circling the dungeon’s perimeter and eventually arrived at the half of the crater with the spires that looked like black fire stopped in time. Interestingly enough, Appraisal identified it as Sapphire spires, just like the blue structures on the other side.

I tapped one with my pan just to see if it was safe to touch. When it clan...

Not even a few hours later after crossing the river, I climbed up a tree and set out John above me to take a better look. To my surprise, the ‘mysterious’ structure was already visible from where I was.

Odd. Hadn’t it taken me a whole day to get to the city dungeon from when I’d first reached the river?
