Chapter 7

Do you control your rage or use it?
Let's be smart about this...
Clamping down on the reflex to decapitate the insufferable, abnoxious, murdering...ahem...NPC, where he stood, witnesses and all, you mulled over your situation:
- You were weak. Or rather, your host was weak.
- If you healed her there was a good chance she'd be able to push you out of control and you were a deadworm if she was able to call for help or even just expose you to sunlight.
- So somehow you would have to gather enough XP to be able to control her even at full health.
- Except there was no way you'd be able to fight anything in your own body and anything you killed while controlling her would probably give her XP as well. Right?
So somehow you would have to find a way to level up without leveling your host up and getting kicked out as soon as she regained her health. And you had to do it all at 10/320 HP. Eirene's thoughts pushed at your own and even though you didn't let them through you could feel the smugness radiating through her. Sighing heavily you stiffen as the infernal tutorial called out to you again...wait a minute. She never completed the tutorial quest because you were able to kill the quest giver, bumping you up to your current level and failing her quest. You fix your eyes on the Forman, an evil smile spreading across your face as your host consciousness realized your intent and struggles futilely.
