The launch of the mine felt like a sacred ritual—a moment of awakening for an ancient power sealed within the depths of this world. Every step, from the enthusiasm of heroes at the auction to the first activations of the mines, became part of a grand symphony where the energy of our collective efforts transformed into a flow of gemstones and artifacts. Yet, this was more than just a technical achievement. It was an act of unity, a metaphor for how each of us contributes to the unfolding of a profound mystery.

On one hand, I am filled with pride for the harmony within our community. Every hero who participated in the auction was not only seeking their own mine but also becoming part of something greater—a structure where individual contributions power collective progress. I am especially grateful to my colleague Pengui\_IN, whose precise mathematical calculations and technological solutions made the flawless distribution of mines possible. This was the first instance in the history of the IN world where property ownership was organized so seamlessly.

On the other hand, managing the mine has been a true test of resilience. The administrative work required to ensure everything was fair and followed the plan was as energy-intensive as the research itself. Despite these challenges, we have reached the ninth depth. At this level, the mine began producing artifacts—and the sheer quantity is astonishing. I now have a significant reserve for experiments that I hope will lead to the next breakthrough.

However, the mine is more than a resource-generating site; it is a living organism whose labyrinths are filled with mysteries. As I explored the most remote shafts, I began to notice strange sounds. At first, I thought they were merely echoes of past battles or the reverberations of the mine’s intricate architecture. But gradually, I realized it was something else. These sounds resembled the roars of monsters, faint remnants of their presence, hidden deep within. It felt as though the mine harbored not only energy but also an ancient, slumbering force unwilling to be disturbed.

If we view the mine as a symbol, these sounds might reflect our own inner world. By awakening the mine’s energy, we might also be stirring shadows of the past hidden within its depths. Perhaps it is a reminder that every step forward requires caution, and every discovery should be approached with mindfulness and responsibility.

My immediate goal is clear: to reach the fifteenth level and study the strange objects that, I believe, could reshape our understanding of this world. However, we must also prepare for what might lie within the deepest halls of the mine. Whether monsters or echoes of their bygone presence, they represent not only a challenge but an opportunity. Every trial is a stepping stone to new knowledge.

The mine, with its binary symmetry, the echoes of monsters, and the crystalline dust covering ancient mechanisms, has become a microcosm of the IN world for me. It mirrors our efforts, fears, aspirations, and potential. Each mine activation is not merely an action; it is an act of faith in our ability to uncover all the secrets this world wishes to share with us. Standing on the threshold of new discoveries, I sense that ahead of us lie not only answers but also questions that will transform our understanding of existence.
