Chapter 12 by CleverImp
Finishing the dungeon
You discover more about your possession ability
Waiting for mobs to respaw doesn't take that much time fortunately. You tell yourself that they'll be alright as your head out to slay the monsters, but you still feel guilty about it. After all technically you are on the same side. But maybe that's not true anymore, you have an opportunity to gain power, become something great, you're on your own side now, not on the monsters', not on the adventurers'.
You struggle a little as you fight the monsters though, you can't use abilities you don't know and the ennemies are appropriate for your level. As you progress though, you start noticing something. It barely registered given the iron grip that you have on the adventurer's body but she is still trying to issue commands, to move on her own power. You ability doesn't allow it though, as long as her level was equal or inferior to your she would be under your command. It was all or nothing. Probably a design oversight as most other conditions could be resisted in some way. You're not going to complain though.
You check the XP you gained from the monsters you already killed and discover that, for some reason, both yourself and the adventurer's are getting full XP for the kills. It made some sense, that way if you grew particularly fond of one body you would be able to level up alongside it, keeping it all the while. You also notice that she had a slight headstart on you though, there is a possibility that you don't level up at the same time, in which case you would probably lose control over her.
Maybe you should consider using diplomacy to reach an understanding... You can give her some control back, the dungeon around you is empty of adenturers. Talking out loud you say: "Alright, I can let you talk." before giving her her mouth back.
She doesn't lose any time before letting you know what she think of the situation: "Let me go you piece of ectoplasmic sh"
"And I can take control back whenever I want. Neat. Anyway, if you're not ready to talk about it, I really don't have to listen."
Will you reach an understanding?
Game Monster
From Creep to Boss
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
