Yes

A/N Just as a bit of a forewarning, this path (or at least chapters to it written by me) probably aren't going to involve as much sex and things of a lascivious nature as others would. There is still going to be those things, but they aren't going to be a primary focus.

Surprisingly, or perhaps not surprisingly depending on perspective; Diana gives the group's consensus "We'll invite you to our party, but I will be watching you for any shenanigans you might pull. Got that?" As she continues to look at you suspiciously.

A few seconds later you see another system notification pop up, this one for the party invite- - - - - -

You have been invited to a party of heroes. As a monster if you accept you will receive some bonuses but also a negative effect until you either leave or are kicked from the party. The bonuses are as follows:

1. You will receive standard xp sharing as if you were an ordinary hero.
2. For as long as you are in the party if you die you're respawn point will be changed to their location, or an ordinary respawn point depending on the situation. Your level will also not be reset to the (appropriate based on current status) base level upon ****.
3. Non-monster NPC's will also not be immediately hostile or in fear of you. They will still be wary, but unless you provoke them in some way they will not act against you or flee in terror.

4. The negative effect is as follows: Certain types of monsters will have a lower base opinion of you due to your allegiance with the heroes and may act against you when they wouldn't of normally

   Do you accept these conditions? Yes/No

Seeing the bonuses far outweigh the negative and thinking that they would probably just kill if you didn't accept. You of course, accept the invite and immediately see a HUD pop up with the levels, names, and health/mana bars for your new party members. They all appear to be with in the 7-12 level range, with Christy being the lowest, probably due to being a support class.

"Huh, so this is what being in a party is like. Interesting, I can see what level you four are now. Anyway, do any of you have a map? So I can point out the general location of the special area?"

"Christy should have one right Christy?" Violet looks over for confirmation of this before continuing "Once you do put us in the general direction you should probably still stick with Christy to help with the healing and stuff."

Christy passes you the group's map and tell them going off of it, the area should be located deeper in the forest, in a hidden section off to the right and using a pen (also provided by Christy) circle the area in question before returning both.

As you are all about to set off Diana continues to be rather suspicious of you and asks "You know, I just noticed but you haven't said that you were certain that any of this would work, when you'd have been more likely to get us to agree to this if you acted like this would definitely work. So why haven't you?" She says while narrowing her eyes at you, which seems to becoming a trend with her.

You blink a bit as you process the somewhat odd wording of her question before replying "Because I'm _not _certain any of this will actually work and telling you otherwise would probably just result in me getting killed if it ends up not working because I technically lied to you. Therefore I'm not going to, well that and I just don't like lying to people it's rude."

Your explanation is followed by some (definitely audible this time) comments from both Christy and Crystal about how cute you apparently are. Causing you to very visibly blush and shyly look away again.

After everyone calms back down, and you actually start heading towards the specified location Christy asks you a question. "So...you mentioned being able to heal? It'll be nice not being the only healer anymore." Smiling at you once more while saying it.

"Yes, though I only have the one....and its not very strong. Though that probably has more to deal with my level then the ability itself." You answer, but thinking for a sec and adding "So, if you don't mind me asking. What do your healing abilities or ability do?"

"Currently I only have two, a ranged but weaker heal and a stronger but touch-based one. I also have a light magic spell for damage....though I guess you didn't ask about that." She starts off reasonably confidently before ending more shyly.

Seeing this, you try and encourage her some. "That's pretty cool, mine is also touched based but I don't have any offensive magic. Do you have any other skills?"

The two of you continue talking for some time afterwards as you go through the forest.
