As soon as the speaker finished speaking, my heart finally relaxed. Risking my life like this was nerve-wracking, and I honestly just wanted to break. Now that I was once again a free man, I was going to get the fuck out of this madhouse.
Absolutely everything here was annoying, from the 7 people who could snuff me out ...

The first scheduled to arrive was the queen, but I could see that Rich was already being escorted here. He certainly knew how to play the game, but I’m quite convinced that he doesn’t like to play it, which oddly makes him better at it.
It was truly a weird combination, and now I knew that amongst the...

I was tired of thinking and constantly discussing with my ant advisors, so I turned my attention to the bug floor. Altogether, it took about five years since I introduced the bugs for things to start to stabilize in an interesting way.
They stopped growing bigger, and the largest specimens didn't grow past the size of a...

I was being escorted by four guards. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but eventually, I understood why I was able to get along with every guard so well and even convinced them to let me have a proper place to stay.
It was my commander ability. As soon as they had even a little bit of respect for me, t...

The bug floor has turned out to be way more interesting than I ever expected. It’s even so interesting that I have had to divert my attention between it and the ant floors, where something of a skill revolution was going on. Their world was changing fast, and it was incredibly interesting to watch, but so were the unexpecte...

I walked into my accommodations and immediately sent a pulse to investigate every inch. The four servants, standing in a row and waiting, looked pristine as they needed to be, and they had kept everything exactly the way it was supposed to be.

I ran into cover. The rock was barely enough to keep me hidden, but I could feel that my stealth skill was able to make enough use of it. I looked towards the remaining quarry, a huge moose that had a defensive skill and a charge skill.
It was still quite far away from a mini guardian, but we had only just...

It was quite early in the morning, and we were waiting for the Adventurers Guild master to arrive so we could all hear today's reports and the summary on the 12th floor. We didn’t have to wait long until he arrived, but the person in charge of the report looked quite nervous, especially when the guild master w...

I was about halfway done with my preparations for my breakthrough when I once again had to redo everything because the war actually escalated, and I didn’t want to miss anything.

As I continued to explore, I started to notice more pathways that didn't seem completely natural. It almost looked as if someone had eaten or tunneled their way through the original tunnels that were here, widening and connecting them even further.

After I claimed my territory for the new floor, I decided to do things a bit differently. I was tired of making the floor and then having to lower its height; it just felt like doing the same work twice. So this time, when I started to expand the floor's space, I made sure to keep a tight hold on the 500-metre height while le...

Now that that was taken care of, I could focus on my achievement page and the new things I've gained. The first things to test out would be the new ability. Ethereal sight was still something I wasn't 100% certain of, and it didn't seem to work consistently, but I guess I will just have to give it time to get used to it.

There are only three moose left on the wolf floor, but I must say that I have underestimated them. The three are even now alive a few weeks after I released the original 20. Combined, they have killed dozens of wolves, but the moose that are alive are in the areas where wolves haven't evolved to be more deadly but are better ...

Just a few hours ago, I got my first creature around the size of a bear, but I kinda feel cheated. It wasn't even a predator, just a big deer. It was called a moose, and I do have to say that it's an impressively large animal and it has some good features, but against a bear, it's nothing.
