I feel their screams in my soul, but the only noises I hear are Little Corpse panicking, Name Drop laughing until I win, and my own ass being rolled around like I’m in a washing machine. I dismiss the mill cloud, check to see if I’m okay, and then check my loot.
Qi, Resentment, Resentment Stones, meh. Ooh! Resentment Dagger! Daggers ‘cause I killed two and they each drop one! Sweet! A few more of these and I’ll be able to arm my servants and have some examples to nom on to further my Resentment Forging insights!
-Oh~! Let’s go!- I crow, turning to Little Corpse to see that the door to my tree is warded and he’s got a pale, wide-eyed Name Drop by the collar. -*Did he put a ward on my house!*-
Name Drop’s nose is bleeding, and he’s got a split lip, but he pulls against Little Corpse to get away from me as I approach. Eyes wide as he tries to wrench himself free from Little Corpse’s fist, his panic freaks me out so I scan the area in time to see another Shadow Wolf bearing down on me.
Nope!

Oh! Right!
-*Hey! These guys drop money, weapons, and give Qi and Resentment and Karma!- I say, turning to Little Corpse. The shimmer across the doorway reminds me that Name Drop was going to get his ass kicked until the wolf interfered. -Tch! Hit him again!*-
Little Corpse just stares at me, face slack and wet, -- was he crying? WTF? -- and I’m not sure if he’s been kidnapped or not. Nope! He blinked but Name Drop’s expression hardens, his mouth closing as he presses his lips together. He grabs Little Corpse’s arm with both hands, Little Corpse slowly shaking himself before looking down at where Name Drop is grabbing his arm. His free arm comes up, head down, and he starts chanting.
I go to my Logs to find out da fuq and learn that Little Corpse is purifying and cycling Name Drop’s Qi as the fucker injects it in an attempt to overwrite my claim. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and try to focus on how I’m about to wreck this little shit. My eyes pop open when I remember that I don’t have to!
I crash through the wards, tackling Name Drop. Little Corpse releases him and I drag him outside while clumsily raining blows down on him, pulling his hair, scratching at his eyes, anything I can do to keep him disoriented. Once we’re outside I post up between me and the house, Little Corpse in the doorway, and wait for the wolves to come to the sound of the war drums.
- ? Oh, no! ? - I sing at Name Drop as he glares at me. -What could we do against so many wolves? We couldn’t even retrieve his body...- I say lightly before growling the last sentence. Name Drop doesn’t say a word, just stares at me, pale and tense before attempting to sprint past.

-Oops! I say as I drop a mill cloud right in front of the house. -Wrong button!-
While focused on Name Drop I see a wolf race around the tree house, keeping low, and dashing directly into the mill cloud. Oof! I think it thought it was dashing into a smokescreen. Luckily for it the Mill was just about to drop. Unfortunately for us the wolf recovers way too fast, but I was already going to throw something else at it.

Little Corpse swats it away from the house and back towards me with his chain, and I don’t know what he’s done with the chain that it cuts right through but I’m gonna assume he’s been on some more of that monk bull. Considering how effective it is I think I’m gonna learn how to Forge Resentment weapons just to spite people, and then learn how to make blessed weapons to fuck with people.
“You can’t do that,” Name Drop says. I’m sorry, did we ask if we could order pizza at your noodle shop?
-*Can’t do what, and why do you sound tired and annoyed?*- I snap as Little Corpse ignores him to check on our surroundings, giving him a chance to duck back into my house. He’s the one being a problem and he’s annoyed with us?
“The Shadow Wolves are Hunger and Resentment, you can’t defeat them so easily,” Name Drop says, crossing his arm over his chest and pinching the bridge of his nose with his free hand.
-What part of we’re not simple is not easy for you to understand?- I say loudly and slowly. Just because he’s not on our level doesn’t make us impossible existences! -So proud of being part of the “main” branch that you had to run down to compare yourself to new buds because your skills were inadequate?-
-You’re not wrong,- Little Corpse says and I turn to him ‘cause wha...? -He’s only so so in the Vengeful Ghost Flame Sect, but it has few true Corpse Manipulators so he stands out more.-
This bish. Tch! Instead of trying harder he went to find ugly friends to look better. How’s it my fault he can’t understand natural beauty and how to better manipulate his skills to maximize on his strengths? That’d be like me training combat because I’m not supposed to eat my problems. I turn to scan the area knowing that the gnashing maw and the grinding mill of judgement are both based on my greed and hunger despite their original purposes.
-Shut up and take us to the Sect so that you can get et,- I grumble. He shakes his head, backing up into the house-in-progress while shaking his head.
Silent Howl:
Okay, I’m back.
First off, eat dog shit and die.

-Tch!- ? Waow. ? But also. -What’s the point of having a high capacity if it never gets filled!- Got me all excited for nothing! -*All the things I can’t eat but am eating are paying off? Good!
-My capacity going to make people stop calling me bug like it’s an insult? My capacity going to going to keep me fed? My capacity going to get people to stop harassing me?- I snap off as I storm back into the house to keep working on it. I don’t know where the sect grounds are to start dragging Name Drop towards them.
Silent Howl:
Shut up and name your Servant Girl.
-Silvered Curl,- I repeat mockingly after thinking “there are no such things as Gamer Grils”. I feel screams in my soul and head outside before jumping and scrabbling to check my status.

-Fack!- I shout as more wolves race at Little Corpse and I because Name Drop is hiding like a bitch in my little tree house that I’ve already kicked him out of! -*I accidentally meme named her! Fack! Again?!*-
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Silent Howl:
Remember how you listened to me and didn’t constantly embarrass yourself?
-Pffft, no,- I snicker. -*I never knew what was going on. I do remember not caring enough to try to find out. You mean that?
-Wait, I’ve got a Servant?- I stop to process the part where I have a new Servant and a mask wearing woman in one of the girls’ kimonos phases into reality near me, a foot or two off the ground. Head bowed, legs curled, she gently settles to the ground before standing up. -Um... Someone check if this is her...-
-That’s “Silvered Curl”,- Little Corpse confirms, already dismissing her given name like we’d had to do with him.

-How do you expect me to be focused when you tell me to eat dog shit and die?- I snap, focusing my nom on the wolf attacking me before grumbling. -Pretty sure I’ve done both already anyway, so...?-
I snatch Gamer Gril, err, Silvered Curl back to my void to craft her a proper body, arm her with two Resentment daggers, then bring her back out. Before she looked frail and delicate, pale and thin, all high school angel style, but now she’s more mature with a bit more curves, and I think I accidentally-ed some combat manuals into her while thinking Femme Fatale because she spins the blades on her palms, takes a fighting stance and then leaps at one of the wolves. She easily ducks around, possibly transfering and not just using sick footwork before it occurs to me she has the skills but not the power, maybe.

-Ooh~ ‘kay,- I turn to Little Corpse who deflects jaws with swipes of his sickles while one of the wolves savages me in an attempt to turn me into a ragdoll. -You level her up.-

Nom. I mentally Devour another wolf, whatever my chewing cool down timer is up at the same time as Little Corpse cuts through another wolf. We might have a harder time dealing with flesh and bone, but we’ve got Resentment recycling down!
I sigh as Little Corpse asks me how he’s supposed to train her for the combat in combat.
[-20 x2 HP]
I sigh and go limp, letting two wolves grab hold of me and chew me like they’re favorite squeak toy.
-Give her pointers while she cuts these fuckers off, I guess...- I sigh. I can tank the damage without too much effort and I’ve been eating something that might be amazing while dreaming of soup so it’s no real issue for me.
It hurts but I’ve literally done worst to myself. Hells the roid dog could do more damage when it did what these pups are trying to do.
-I made myself sad,- I tell everyone. -I really wanted that fire doggo...-
-You could probably use it as a mount,- Little Corpse chuckles as he stands back and offers pointers to Silvered Curl. -In your small form you could use these as a mount,- he points out and I perk up. Didn’t even occur to me that I could try to grab one of these hungry doggos.
-Tch! I still don’t know how,- I remind him. I remember feeding a different hungry dog some Qi to make it my friend.

-Friend?- I ask while slipping a Shard into one wolf’s mouth. It backs away snapping and turning darker with wisps of blue flame dancing through its fur.
Silvered Curl backs away, moving to the house with a signal from Little Corpse as we wait for the wolf to do whatever.
-Oh, shit! My bad!- I flinch as I remember Spirit Stones are Qi and feeding it Resentment might make it worse.

It didn’t.
Now name your pets and two more servants. These are both male.

-Lupa, and Alpha!- I snark, unamused. I’ve got the kill notifications, who does he think he’s fooling? -Primal Blade and Stone Club for the servants, asshole,- I grumble while pouting.

Yeah, no, I’m not like your fellow Disciples.
And yes, you are the asshole.
-Sorry,- I sigh, flopping onto my side. One of the hounds, all flickering shadow and ghost lights, comes over and starts grooming me.
-Oh! They get stronger from grooming you?- Little Corpse says, slowly inching forward to try to pet one of the wolves.
-Wait, how long do I get to keep them?- I literally just bought their friendship, but how loyal are they?
-I think the grooming helps reinforce loyalty,- Silvered Curl says, gracefully sitting down, knees bent, feet on either side of her rear, just folded all kinds of crazy.
Gamer Gril
Requests to Withdraw a Brush.
Yes ~ No
I scoff and give her the same Permissions I’ve given Little Corpse. When I do, two masked men appear hovering with heads bowed before touching down. Seeing them is upsetting but they don’t feel like randos the same way Little Corpse’s Servants did so I give my other two Servants and the pups private Permissions in time to see Silvered Curl brushing one of the wolves. The other two that show up begin to do the same while Little Corpse tries to wrangle everyone into some semblance of order.
Except for Name Drop who’s still holed up in my house.
-You wanna act like a bitch? I’m a bug and you’re a Little Bitchboy!- I shout at Heart’s Disarray as he hides behind the stairway peeking out with another fucking ward up. -Tch! I’m gonna eat your fucking ward! If I learn how to make one you better believe I’m warding you out of my house!- I shout as I get up and race towards the tree house with my wolves and Servants behind me.
Bitchboy races up the stairs and I know he’s gonna drop another one to block the stairwell. Tch! See if I don’t eat that one, too! I ought to trap him outside in a bunch of wards and make him... I dunno! Giving him outside time to think won’t make him reflect on his actions.
-I think he etched sigils,- Little Corpse murmurs, asking me to hold off on breaking the wards while they study the sigils. “Why are you trying to hide from my master in their home?” Little Corpse calls up while the Servants, including the wolves, study the ground around the entryway.
I push through the wards, -- ‘cause I can, I don’t think these things ever stopped me unless I let them, -- and note that there’s scratches on the inside of the doorway all the way around, not just the marks that I might have disturbed on the ground.

I sigh, march up the stairs and through another ward, take the hit as Heart’s Disarray stabs me in a full on double-fisted slam as he tries to pin me to the ground with the blade, and then we’re outside ‘cause transfer. I sit up and groom as he tries to get up and run away. His attempt to do a vaulting leap over one of the wolves results in his legs being grabbed, the back first, and then they twist to slam him into the ground. The air resonates with sharp cracks and he screams.

-Take turns clearing the wolves and studying, not just the wards. Someone help the wolves if they need it. Each wolf gets 10 Spirit Stones! Tch! Guess everyone’s going to need spending money, huh? Little Corpse, I’m trusting you,- I tell him while walking through the wards. -Don’t forget you can transfer or Void Walk to me unless the wards or tree stops that,- I acknowledge that something called a “Ward” tree or whatever this is might cause problems.
-Eat before you sleep,- Little Corpse says while they take turns popping in and out of the world around me. Guess they can reach me.
-New people equal new foods!- I say, pulling this rule out of my ass. I don’t know if the new souls I’ve consumed have necessarily given me new knowledge on foods or if I’m just processing memories from the people contributing. -Give me new foods!-
