To test it, he tried to order it to just simply stand up, but the demon seemed to be confused. Maybe it needed some more time to adjust, so he strengthened his command, and with each repetition he knew the demon found it more and more painful. It would fully submit soon, andhis thoughts cut off, because he died.


    Ray froze for a few seconds to realize what had happened, then…


    EWWWW, DISGUSTING! VORM, YOU PIECE OF SHIT, IT GOT ALL OVER ME! FULL POWER MY ASS! EWWWW!! Ray screamed like a little girl, while Vorm howled in his mind with laughter.


    He tried to shake off all the remains, but he had bad control over his body, and accidentally hit another human, splashing more human remains on himself. Blood went into his eyes, so he shut them closed, and tried to get it off his face with the back of his relatively cleaner hand, but he stumbled, and felt something wet and squishy under his right foot. He froze, processed what he probably just stepped on… he screamed even louder.


    “


    YOU LIED AGAIN.


    “


    Ray was now experienced, and ran to the right instead. Vorm wasn’t going to be able to trihe felt his left foot stepping on something squishy and crunchy. Vorm roared with laughter.


    Did they all die?


    “Yes, you squashed them all beautifully, good job. Their innards are—“


    Shut up! Just… no more please. Haven’t you had enough fun already?


    Didn’t you say my physical body is affecting my mind? Shouldn’t I find humans tasty as a demon?


    “…”


    “…


    Ray’s answer:


    “


    “


    “


    What do you mean wrong way, it all looks the same.


    Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    “Those demon summoners came from the opposite direction, they left tracks, can’t you see?”


    Why should I believe you? You seem to enjoy lying to me.


    “Why would I lie? It would be more fun if you went to a town and got slain than if you died peacefully, idiot.”


    Why are you always insulting me? Lying to me? Why are you such a jerk all the time?


    “This personality model I created to interact with you is based on your preferences. So, shouldn’t you blame yourself?”


    What… what do you mean?


    “Exactly what I said.”


    So… you are just acting this way, because you believe this is what I prefer? I want you to be yourself, not this, and this isn’t what I prefer to begin with.


    “Little human, it is impossible for me to ‘be myself’, if I were to ‘be myself’ you’d go insane in that moment. And face reality. Don’t you hate kind people? You are always suspicious of them, and find people with this kind of personality I’m using the most comfortable. I’ll even tell you, I’m using this personality model in order to manipulate you, and make you trust me more easily.”


    You keep lying to me, why would I trust you at all? Especially when you tell me all this.


    “Yeah, you shouldn’t, but this what makes you feel more comfortable with me. You are pretty messed up, huh?”


    “


    You are such an asshole.


    “Because that’s what you like.”


    After a while, he asked while walking to pass the time.


    “


    “


    “…” Vorm couldn’t be bothered to keep answering.


    “…”


    “


    “


    “


    Ray decided to ignore the question that would send him down into a deep abyss.


    “


    …


    “…” no point arguing with fools, Vorm thought.


    Ray walked and walked, and after a couple hours, he came across a road. It was just a dirt road, but it was pretty wide, and looked well traversed. He looked left and right, but couldn’t make up his mind.


    “


    …


    “


    But… what if I run into people?


    “Kill them?”


    I’m not going to just kill people!


    “What do you mean, isn’t that what you have been doing? Both as a wolf, and just a couple hours ago, you killed like a dozen people? You do realize you killed your mother as well?”


    …Don’t remind me, I didn’t mean to…


    “Then just don’t kill them, what’s your issue?”—Vorm then realized something as it recalled Ray’s old life.— “Don’t tell me… you are actually scared of meeting people?”


    …Why would I be scared?


    “How do you still have social anxiety while you are twice as tall as humans, and can trample them into paste as easily as breathing?!”


    It’s not something I can control, okay? If I could I wouldn’t have shut myself at home, and refused to go outside alone!


    “You could go outside if you weren’t alone though, even if you only went out with the dog, so what’s your issue now? Am I not here?”


    It’s different, you are only in my head. I didn’t dare to go outside with just a phone either, even if it had an AI. It’s the same thing, it’s just that you are in my head, not my hand.


    “……..”


    “Do you realize how ridiculous it is that you are hiding here as an almost four meter tall demon, too scared to meet humans?”


    It’s fine, my favorite hunter hid behind some trees as well when people first came to his valley, hoping they would leave.


    “Yes and you laughed your ass off at it.”


    …...


    “Just think of it this way. You are only possessing the demon body. It’s like a costume, so no one can actually see you.”


    You are right! Vorm you are a genius, it’s like I’m a furry now, just without the fur.
