[WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? GO AND DEFEAT THAT HORDE.] says HYM.
I say to him irritated, "Will you shut up? There are 7 hobgoblins, not goblins, but hobgoblins. This will be my first fight to death. If I lose, I die, the stakes are high here." To my stupid rant, HYM replied, [...YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD.]
... I forgot. I am dead already. Like I can't be killed. If I get immobilized, HYM will heal me. With a new-found courage, I pick up a rock, throw it towards a low but noticeable rattling sound. HYM said, [THAT IS A GOOD IDEA, MY HOST. YOU THREW A ROCK TO DRAW THE ATTENTION OF THE MANA SKELETONS, WHICH WILL TAKE CARE OF THE HOBGOBLINS, AND YOU WILL KILL ANY AND ALL SURVIVORS WHO ARE MOST LIKELY HOBGOBLINS. YOU ARE REALLY CUNNING, AREN'T YOU?... SO AS A REWARD, I GRANT YOU THE TITLE OF BLO-]
"I told you to shut up, did I not?" I say, still irritated. As I see everything play out, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I guess humans really are choas-driven creatures. Since mana beasts like mana skeletons are stronger than normal monsters, the entire group of hobgoblins were rendered immobile, not dead but immobile. After all the mana skeletons left, I started my job. I started finishing off the hobgoblins by stomping on their heads. "HYM!" I say. "Now can you continue your elaborate speech you started at a very CRUCIAL time."
[AHEM! I JUST WANTED TO SAY, SEEING YOUR CUNNING MIND AT WORK, I REWARD YOU THE TITLE OF [BLOOD SAVORING STRATEGIST]. EACH TITLES YOU RECEIVE ARE... LET'S SAY AN ADDITIONAL MODIFICATION TO ME. THE TITLE YOU RECEIVE WILL MOLD ME TO SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU TO HAVE. TITLES DON'T GRANT YOU POWERS, BUT EMPHASIZE FOR A BETTER ACCESS. I ALSO GRANT YOU THE TITLE [BOTTOM FEEDER]. OPENING TITLE TAB>> [BLOOD SAVORING STRATEGIST] GIVES YOU VAST AMOUNTS OF IDEAS TO ERADICATE YOUR ENEMY EFFECTIVELY. >>>>[BOTTOM FEEDER] INCREASES EXP GAINED FROM CORPSES NOT KILLED BY THE HOST.]
I really was impressed of this 'Interface'. But I was not satisfied... of something else. "HYM! Why have I not received my exp? Is it not a thing in this world? Probably not since I have a level bar." I say, opening my status bar.
[AH! FOR THAT, YOU HAVE TO EAT THE CORPSE.] said HYM.
"...WHAT?" I reply. [I APOLOGIZE BUT TO MAKE THIS FASTER... [BODY CONTROL ACCESSED]]
I lost all my control over my body and started walking towards the corpses of the dead hobgoblins. I crouched and started ripping apart their flesh and biting into the flesh. It tasted... Raw and chewy, but at the same time it was juicy. I ate all the hobgoblin corpses. Or at least all their fatty skin surplus. Then suddenly I felt my body having its own control. I started vomiting out of pure disgust...
