/3/21/XI/ - Entry 1
It's finally complete. As of today, I will be known as one of the UnderRealm's.. nay, not just the UnderRealm's, but one of the world's greatest minds. For you see, today is the day that my magnum opus, The Core, was finally activated. It had taken me months to research, plan out, revise, and finally design what could now be arguably the greatest self-sustaining energy converter in the history of monsters and humans alike, but now I can stand forth before my magnificent creation and know that today... Today is the day that my name will be forever remembered in history.
We had long since been experiencing a terrible energy crisis within the various sectors of our underground home, you see. My hometown Snowdin was forced to take advantage of the freezing rivers that ran through the landscape in order to provide power for the residents, and even then half the time the watermills themselves would either freeze up or break down entirely. Other areas like Waterfall had it even worse; they were forced to make do with only candles, fireplaces, crystals, and magic for light, heat, and energy. Oil and charcoal are scarce, after all, as many human mines had already sapped the earth surrounding us of any remaining veins that could have been used for power.
Yet now... Now, thanks to my own brilliant planning and research, we have finally been able to make use of the natural lava rivers that flow through the Hotlands. The Core will take at the very least a couple of days to be completely ready to produce energy (as it does have to intake the first full flow of lava through its systems), but once it does the UnderRealm will surely experience a technological boom like no other from the new available energy, and many towns like my own will finally be able to live comfortably.
King Asgore himself even wishes to meet with me next month should my invention prove to be as successful as I had claimed. I look forward to impressing him with my work.

As I predicted, The Core is now fully functional! As of this early morning, it already completed its first energy cycle, and has fluidly been able to process each of its energy converting sectors to keep itself powered without the need of the initial generators we used to activate it. In fact, it actually recharged the initial generators with the excess energy it produced overnight!
Technological designs that we've been unable to implement due to energy shortages have immediately been picked up by the Royal Construction Committee as well. I predict that by the end of the year we'll be able to implement true indoor electrical systems, heating systems, lighting systems, and possibly even be able to enhance our telephone system!
Now, as far as my own work is concerned... I'm already brainstorming various ways I, too, could implement this new power in my research and experiments. At the present though, the only true plans I have in store are to build myself a true lab to be able to house my equipment, and to be able to work easier within. However in regards to plans for new inventions or experiments... I won't write anything about those ideas yet, as I suppose it would be best to see what King Asgore would like to speak to me about beforehand.
My optimism has already begun to pay off, and I only foresee good things lying ahead in wait for me now.
