  09:16 pm: Now Build for Me an Ark. Entered the temple and ran smack into a new piece of gopher wood. Was this your idea of a “log-in” bonus, Great One?

• February 1, 2023
  02:27 pm: The Temple is Finally Built. Carefully placed the last brick, swept all the rooms, opened all doors, and cut the ribbon in a stately manner with my sword. I can’t believe it’s finally happened! After all these months of work, the temple in your name is finished, my Lady! I feel crazy with happiness.
  New Achievement: “Builder, 1st rank”
  01:59 pm: Wow, a thousandth brick! Now I just need to get to my construction site and finish the temple…
  01:59 pm: As the air crackled with energy, my purse jerked and lightened. Scratchy coughed and abruptly yakked up an enormous hairball. Gleaming through the grey mess was a perfect golden brick! Scratchy belched contentedly and sat down to groom himself.

• January 26, 2023
  06:11 pm: A wandering sage told me that while some are wise, I am otherwise.

• January 24, 2023
  09:41 pm: An Easy Request. "The Diary of Ryburn Curtiss” sounds lame. Maybe I should call it “The Epic Chronicles of Ryburn Curtiss?”

• January 21, 2023
  11:55 am: Drew a picture of a bipolar bear in a snowstorm for you, Soul Supreme. I hope you’ll stick it on your holy fridge.

• January 15, 2023
  10:24 pm: Your Re-Entry to Guild Name Guild. This diary entry is brought to you by “Guild Name”. Thank you for your contributions to our drinking fund.

• January 12, 2023
  07:46 pm: A mole popped out of the ground and handed me a note that said, “Join the “Guild Name” guild”. It’s obvious, I need to join the ‘Guild Name’ guild! Strange that I didn’t think about it before…

• March 26, 2015
  10:44 pm: I didn’t manage to heal up my pet’s wound in time. Well, Scratchy, your regenerating abilities will help you to recover, but I think level-ups and pantheons are not for you anymore. On the other hand, who needs those silly things anyway?

  01:50 pm: Just found out that the locals of The Cave of the Weak-Witted Oracle have dubbed Ochareon and me “The Dream Team”! Apparently it’s because we both pass out at the first sign of danger.

• February 12, 2015
  09:16 am: The Lonely Hive Mind raised its hand for a deadly final strike against me, when Scratchy suddenly threw himself under its feet. The monster stumbled and fell dead on the ground, its neck broken. Scratchy was knocked out by the impact of the monster’s carcass. Oh, my Lady, if I don’t bring him back to his senses in time, he’ll lose all his levels and his will to compete!

• January 2, 2015
  08:44 am: Your First Skill! Ochareon taught me a special skill that he said no one else knows, called “mountain moving” and swore me to secrecy. I’m not entirely sure what “secrecy” means, but I can’t wait to show everyone at the tavern!

• December 30, 2014
  02:50 pm: Your First Boss Battle Victory. The heroes brought together by common destiny have defeated the Scurrying Vertigoat! Ryburn Curtiss got 5283 coins, broken heart of the Vertigoat, a pre-Godville relic, a dragon egg incubator and a last laugh.
  02:40 pm: Ryburn Curtiss and Ladyitty uncovered an ancient portal to the land of giant monsters. It’s slowly beginning to crack open…

• December 25, 2014
  11:48 pm: A jolly, rotund fellow wearing bright red and sporting a beard came in and gave me a portable milestone then left chortling. How very peculiar.

• December 24, 2014
  07:27 pm: I once visited a wise old sage in Last Resort and asked him the meaning of my existence. I will never forget his reply: “Who are you!? How did you get in my house?”

• December 23, 2014
  Your Acceptance to Guild Name Guild. Most Mediocre.

• December 22, 2014
  09:34 am: The Task Killer begged me to spare its life, so I decided to do so and continued on my way. I can still remember its plea for mercy: “Come back and fight, you coward!”

  New Achievement: Favorite, 3rd rank.

• December 17, 2014
  02:23 pm: The trader offered me a bunch of extra coins, but I ran off in terror. I have always feared change.
  02:05 pm: Your First Arena Victory. Fourteen minutes elapsed. Chris De Leon is on his knees. Ryburn Curtiss salutes to the heavens! The winner receives a gold brick and 355 coins.

• December 16, 2014
  07:01 pm: Your Cry of Battle. ‘I am Ryburn Curtiss, All for the Goddess! Raaaaaaaargh!’ Great One, what do you think? Does it sound impressive?

• December 15, 2014
  10:02 pm: My First Believer. Build a Temple in My Name. I heard that when it rains it’s because you’re crying. Don’t be upset, my Lady! Look, I’m doing a little dance for you!
