644 Primitive Tech
I sliced off dungeon wall into the shape of a block. Then I bring the block to the room earlier. All done in Accelerated State of course.
More and more blocks gradually pile up. Into the shape of a stairway.
I made a simple calculation before starting to stack these blocks enough to reach the ceiling.
I couldn't come up with any less primitive tech.
I diligently keep at the routine. Normally this would have been a hard labor. This stuff can't be done in an hour or so too.
Yet I eventually piled enough blocks to reach the hole in the ceiling.
(This is where things start getting annoying. My work is far from over... What a pain.)
I stacked enough blocks to reach the hole. But I don't want climb up the hole the same way. Hence I cut.
I slice and dice the hole walls into blocks and stack them into another scaffold. I stack and stack and finally get it tall enough to reach my current foothold.
The square hole is around 150 cm big. I cut the walls in all directions into blocks and turn them into my foothold.
It's hard to stack them right. The confined space means there's a limit to it as well. And yet I couldn't think up any other plan.
I'm not going to rock climb these walls. Falling could mean my death considering there's no lifeline.
This is the best idea someone with no modern and handy tools on hands like me could come up with.
If the space is limited, then I just gotta expand it. Despite not really knowing what I'm doing, I'm somehow managing to simultaneously cut the walls into blocks which get stacked into a scaffold while enlarging the hole in the process.
It worked even when the stack almost got toppled over due to the bad balance yet the blocks somehow stabilized themselves when they knocked into one another inside the hole.
As you might have guessed, I spent too long in Acceleration my thought process went haywire again. I got too absorbed in the routine.
I had another idea once I was around two third done. The plan changed to carving the walls into stair steps till the end.
Block stacking is over, it's now time for a new play, I mean, work routine.
In Accelerated State, my sword slides through the walls like they're made of tofu.
(Aa, I wanna eat cube tofu in cold water. White rice and curry exist here. Meaning that too should, right? I can't wait.)
I don't know the full extent of this world's culinary progress.
But there's no harm in having an expectation.
I continued carving walls into stairs while mulling over unrelated topics.
I carefully and steadily carved stair steps one by one as I come closer to the room with the core.
Once I carved out the last perfectly shaped stair step, I finally made it into the dungeon core room.
I couldn't help but ridicule my own childishness.
(I'm here and all now, but what do? Destroy the core and then get outta here... But how?)
I am now faced with the fact that I never considered about my way back.
Yep, my head was full of reaching the destination, nothing about returning. I'm dumb.
I finally snapped back to myself as I stared at the volleyball-sized core shining blue.
