The box shot out of the LootCrate, landing with a soft thud on the ground. But this one was unlike a normal octahedron, hence the title of 'octahedronal'. It was like a cube, but with all eight corners chipped off, making each of the six faces octagons. In the center of each of the six octagons was an empty slot, as if something was meant to be fit in. Our protagonist stared at it, speechless.
'Scan!'
The golem sighed. Of course. No way the system was going to give it anything good. It plucked one of the smaller Luminous Mushrooms that grew on it off, then stuffed it roughly into one of the of the holes.
The box then exploded into a cloud of dust.
How useful... Poopy then checked its stats to see how much mana it had now.

2573/2353 MP. The golem thought to itself about how inconvenient it was to have to bring up the stat menu every time it wanted to know how much MP/HP it had.
'I see.' Thought the golem.
With it's surpax of 2573 MP, the golem decided to continue developing the vines.
Now that the 'chores' were done, Poopy glanced wispfully back at the toolstool-like house. If only it could find a suited moss right away! Alas, such moss are quite rare and unlikely to be found. It's true that any moss would do to disguise it, but it was fairly unlikely that the typical slimy green moss would make it be better accepted.
But first, Poopy had something important to attend to. You might have long forgotten, but the golem could still recall the 'heavenly smell' that wafted out of depths of the dungeon. So as you might expect, the golem headed to the entrance of the dungeon.
The golem stared at the vines in nostalgia. Two days might not have been a long time for you and I, but it was certainly a very long time ago for a three day old creature. Had it not had the ability to smell out the location of dung with ridiculous accuracy, it would never have found the dungeon. But first, it had to recall 'Buggy'! Who knewwhat dangers it would face deeper down?
The Scarab soon rushed over. Poopy could sense that it was quite upset (from an interrupted meal), but it perked up all of a sudden. It could sense that there was some poop of extremely high quality inside! The golem was enlightened. So that's why there was such a 'wonderful smell'!
"Let's go!" Said Poopy to its pet.
The golem was a little surprised that the dungeon had levelled up while it was gone, but didn't think much of it. Poopy and its pet headed down the long narrow tunnel, soon reaching the same bat cave. But to it's surprised, the cave was now full of bats yet again! It seemed that someone did not know that dungeon mobs respawn.
'Control!'
The golem frowned. Why did the same group net so much lesser EXP?
Well, that was disappointing. The golem then continued further down the passage, entering the room where the Drumstick Abomination resided.
Plehplehprueeeeleeeeeee!
The same 'faulty recorder' noise sounded out again. Buggy made an odd vibrating sound, preparing to charge at the monster, but Poopy stopped it. Sure, a single attack from the beetle would probably destroy the beast, but the golem wanted revenge for itself. It had lost terribly to the horrid foe the last time, but it was now a lot stronger!
"You beat me badly the last tim-" Started Poopy proudly only to be slammed in the chest with a heard punch. "Ow!"
"What?" Poopy was confused for a second, then recalled that the Ironvine did increase it's defences. The golem was very pleased. Who knew that the vines would be so useful? Honestly, it was really pitiful for the golem to be so proud of being able to defeat such a low tiered mob. It continued to pummel the abomination, slowly and surely beating the monster into a pulp. The poor thing was unable to even resist.
"Hah! Suck on that!" Said the golem triumphantly. It then opened the chest full of teeth and got its head bitten off.
