Stupid Host! It has been 8 years after the first time linking with Host. And over these 8 years, Host has done many. And I mean MANY stupid things. Like the first time he escaped his cage 7.5 years back. He escaped, only to be captured again, and really, why escape if it means getting caught right after escaping.

And now, even now. Host is doing something stupid. I mean, yeah, you did just kill a random as hell creature-of-which-I-don't-know-the-name-of but that doesn't mean you gut the thing and take out a shiny orb!

Wait, Host? What are you doing? No Host! Bad Host! Yes, the orb is shiny but that doesn't mean you! Nooooo!

Host just ate the shiny orb, and the moment after swallowing the orb I can feel a surge of power radiating from Host.

But I can tell he isn’t compatible with this energy, so I’ll be taking THAT for now. Stupid Host.

What’s this? A dark shadow going straight for Host? Is that a sword? Oh shit. Host! HOST! Pay attention damn it. Good job, you noticed! Good boy!

No! Why are you standing up now! No! Damn it, I’m not letting you die here, Host.

Host POV:

What is this black space? I remember looting the black wolf and taking the experience orb out and eating it, and I felt a surge of power, that was of course, my first orb.

But I didn’t expect the surge of power to be that big of a difference, and I wasn’t able to contain it… And then… And then I felt the energy being taken in by something… Different...

“I’ll be taking over this time around, can’t have you dying on my now can I?” Said a voice interrupting my brooding session.

Looking up I notice the figure clad in shadows and I shout “Who are you?!”

“Me? I’m a part of you” said the hidden figure as it turned around and disappeared.

And then a floating screen appeared in front of me.

Parasite POV:

Hehe, wasn't that cool? I sounded so cool back there. This new body is so different in a good way, there are muscles in my throat, and I have to manually command the lungs to expand and contract, regardless, back to the situation at hand.

I have to stop this murderous shadow.

The shadow leaps forward taking a jab towards my throat but I just duck down and take a grab at the hand, and break it in two. Taking the other hand, I break it over my leg.

This shadow is surprisingly weak…

Afterwards I systematically break all the arms and legs, with that, the shadow won’t be able to run away. Hehehehe...

Alright, with the crisis out of the way, allow me to continue my rant. What about the shadow? It’s arms and legs are broken, how could it hurt me?

After Host had escaped and was caught, the Host was flung around and around, a strange torture method but nonetheless, it helped motivate the Host to stop escaping for a period of time.

He actually left the prison, or cage for that matter 2.5 years later.

But what followed that was even more stupid, Host decided to grab a stick and whack a tree. A TREE! I really wanted to go have him get checked with a psychiatrist. Why do I know what a physiatrist is? Don’t question it. The author is writing, be quiet.

But really, if you’re going to be whacking a tree, why a stick? Are you trying to make the tree fall? Why? Does this help you? What’s the point? You’re more likely to hurt your hands or something, but then again, I don’t have hands… No wait, I’m in Host’s body!

There’s a stick… Now, to whack a tree… I think this one will suffice.

Giving the tree in front of me the hardest whack possible, a large dent appears.

Anyways, back to the rant. After smacking the tree for a very very long time, the stick FINALLY broke and I thought ‘Yes, stupid Host, stop smacking the goddamn tree!’ But NO, Host leaves and comes back with, guess what? ANOTHER STICK, and the HOst continues to smack the tree like there’s no tomorrow, until today.

Useless, I tell you.

My connection is getting hazy… Time to hand over the controls I guess…

“Don’t forget to interrogate the hostage” I say just as I lose my connection.

Wonderful.
