Given that I have no clue when the goblin will show up, I decide that I should focus oing prepared again. First thing I o do is expand my tuo the cavern somewhat. It is currently a little small, and I'd like it to be wider. Then, I o update my spear and shield for my new size. Although given my size, I probably don't o be as worried as before in fights.

  I've been w for almost a day now, when a sensation I haven't felt since I came to this world overtakes me. I have to use the restroom. When I was an imp, I never had to use the restroom, so I'm a little surprised when I feel the urge. I hastily make my way deep into the main cavern to relieve myself before returning to work. I covered it using stone shaping of course. Not long after, I feel a slight thirst as well. This is somewhat awkward. If I khat evolving came with all these new problems, I might have hesitated to evolve. Instead, I'm stuck with it. I go over to a bucket of water that I brought down before for boiliables and drink some. It doesn't take all that much to satiate my thirst, thankfully. Given I've been w all day too, I hope this means I don't need much water.

  It's been three days since I started expanding my tuo the cavern, and I've just finished up with it. It's not perfect, but it's enough that I don't have ahat I o squeeze through, and I easily turn around at any point. I'm also pretty sure that how long I'm awake for has ged. I seem to be able to work for longer without getting sleepy. I still have no clue how long I sleep for though.

  With the tunnel finished up, I'll start work on my buckler before sleep today. I have plenty of material to work with, so I should be good to go. The only unfortuhing I've noticed is that I've yet to gain a single level in the past few days.

  I finished up my buckler shortly after waking up, and then fihe spear shortly after. Before long though, I felt the urge to go to the restroom building up again. I should probably make a pce to do that rather than tinuing to go in the cavern. For now, I fashion a toilet that I use with a bucket u. When I finish using it, I seal the bucket, to be disposed of at a ter time. I haven't checked the caveroday, so I make my way out, and open a hole to peek through.

  I wasn't expeg it quite yet, but there are already a few imps about and the goblio be busy summoning more. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like they noticed anything amiss with the cavern. I stand and watch for a while befetting bored aurn to my butchery room. I look about, and decide I could use a few extra buckets. I know that I need more food now, so I should be prepared with extra buckets on hand to handle any excess imps. It'll also give me something to do while I wait for the goblins to finish up.

  A bunch of new buckets ter, and the goblins have left, and the melee of imps has begun. I open my cave up to the cavern and try to get an imps attention. When it spots me, it stares for a moment before turning and running away. I attempt to get a new imp to notice me, and it too flees. Damn. Well, I guess there is only ohing to do.

  I leave my cave, spear and buckler in hand, and run towards the imp. When it spots me, it lets out a cry and tries to run, but I quickly catd kill it. This is followed shortly by two more nearby imps. This is almost a little too easy. I carry the three imps easily bay cave and string them up ichery room to bleed out, aurn to the cavern. This time though, the imps seem to all be avoiding the area around my cave. No problem though, I'm much faster than them, and they aren't really fighting babsp; I have to spend some extra time, but I quickly deal with ahree imps. I notice by the time I kill three, all the remaining imps are again avoiding both me and my cave entrance by a siderable distance.

  Oh well, just means more work for me. I repeat this hunt and drain process an additional 3 times, totaling up 15 imps that I'll o butcher in the m. I had to spend some extra time jury-rigging some to the ceiling of the sughterhouse to be able to fit them all, but I ma.

  The m, I peek out into the cavern. There is only one goblin that I spot. He's seated quite far from my entrance, and the remaining imps are also all staying far away from my area as well. I watch for a bit, and after a little bit, the fireball gobliurns, killing the handful of imps that were left with magibsp; After a brief exge with the new goblin, and some haures, the new goblin points towards my sealed entrance, and by extension me. As I watch, the goblins all start moving towards me. The new goblin cowers behind the others as they approabsp; I decide to seal the small hole I eeping through, and just listen.

  After a few moments, I hear a few repeated thumps on the robsp; Whether it was something hitting it, or a fireball, I don't know, but after a few thumps, it stops, and I wait for a few minutes. Without any further noise, I once again peek out. The cavern is empty now.

  I'll o think over what just happened. In the meahough, I get to work butchering the imps that I have in the sughterhouse. They take a while, but I get through all fifteen with a little of the day ahead of me still. Fifteen imps seems like a lot of meat to me, but holy, I'll probably need more. I suppose I go out and check if any of the fireball killed imp's meat is still good.

  I peek out before I leave, and don't spot anything, so I head out and ihe remaining imps. A handful seem recoverable, so I begin moving them into my sughterhouse. Overall I found 8 that were recoverable, which means I'll o make multiple trips.

  Ohird trip, as I turn to return to my cave with the st two imps, out of the er of my eye I spot movement. I turn towards the caverrance, and I spot a goblin running up and away.

  Crap. Seems like I've been spotted.

  I hurry bato my cave, and seal it shut, adding some extra thiess to it food measure. Once I feel like the stone is thiough that I'm safe, I bring the remaining two imps into the sughterhouse, and begin processing all of them. By the time I'm done, I feel tired. I carefully peek out into the cavern, and after seeing nothing, seal the entrance again befoing to sleep.

  Level: 1HP: 871/871MP: 285/285Traits: Mana Affinity, Earth ManiputionMagic: Stone Shaping, Teise, Earth Spike

  Well, as a sotion, at least I've gained one level.

  For the past three days, I haven't goo the cavern onbsp; Instead, I sit right by the entrao my cave, doing stone separations while looking through a hole that I made to watch the caverranbsp; I haven't seen anything in all that time, so I'm starting to feel emboldeo maybe ve, and possibly even go check outside. I think if I still don't spot anything by tomorrow, I'll make the trip up to the surface, obviously bringing my ons when I do. With my p, I tinue w on stone separation until tired, close up the hole for the day, and go to sleep.
