A Rewarding Trip With a 'Great' View

I was honestly glad that that abomination was dead, since I never had the time to really focus on what I had seen during the fight.

If I was going to rate the Eater I would've started it off as a 6 or seven out of ten, since it was well designed, but extremely flawed in its existence.

I mean, who decided that it should be able to split into parts that progressively grew smaller and smaller, even when it has an extremely weak body. It was just asking to be eliminated before it could make a colony of itself.

And been eliminated it has.

{Dear us you're narrating like Yoda speaks now.}

'I'm going to have to ask why and how I'm narrating?'

{'Cause this is your story, and the laws of reality do not apply to us.}

'I am not even going to ask this time.'

And then I thought back to the words of the Gods and realized what they had said at the beginning of this conversation.

'Wait... you refer to yourself as us when referring to the gods?'

{What other gods are there?}

'I have no idea, so your point is temporarily valid until I see evidence of other iterations of the Gods.'

{We should probably relocate our conversation spot since this place is not ideal for a conversation.}

It was then that I realized that we were still in the corruption, which is definitely a terrible place for small talk.

'Alright.'

And so I used the mirror to head home, forgetting a single thing.

{Oh yeah, we forgot about that.}

'Forgot about what?'

And then it clicked.

{We forgot the loot.}

My main reason for even going there so early. And I forgot it 2 hours away.

'OH SON OF A BI-'

-Somewhere in the corruption-

The worm was dead, so there is something that has started to return to the corrupted land.

A cyst was starting to grow in size, and the location is known to nothing but itself.

-Back to Talon-

{Did you vent all of that rage yet, or do you have any more internal screaming to do?}

'No, I think I am good for now. I guess we have to head back, don't we?'

{Yup. And there will be something new there that I recommend dealing with later.}

'You're not going to tell me what it is.'

I said it as a statement since I assumed I knew the gods better than most people, if not all people.

{That would ruin the surprise.}

'This surprise is going to suck.'

{You know us so well.}

I sighed, but this time it was a sigh of reluctance.

'You decided to move into my mindscape just so you could get from row seats. It's really hard not to start to understand people who have been the equivalent of your roommate for over 2 weeks.'

{We try our best not to sound cryptic. That's probably why you understand us.}

'I'm going to be honest here. You suck at being non-cryptic, and your personality is torturous at times.'

{We have chosen this personality for shock factor more than anything. It appears to have been working well.}

I sighed once more.

'Too well.'

{Well, onwards towards explored lands that we most definitely have never been to!}

'That entire sentence is contradicting itself.'

{We are a contradictory existence.}

And so we set off towards the totally unfamiliar corruption.

-2 hours later-

'Why did I have to do this twice?! I just wanted to be home doing an unbagging (A stupid word I shall never use again JUST based on how stupid it sounds.) and relaxing for the rest of the day. But no, I have to redo a 2-hour long trek just so I can get the loot I earned TWO FREAKING HOURS AGO.'

{Fun, isn't it?}

'ABSOLUTELY NOT.'

{Wow, you are seriously pissed off.}

'How would you feel if you were unable to view my adventure for an entire day, missing out on some interesting events, just because you were distracted?'

{I would be mad because I had to miss the most enjoyable part of my day.}

'There you go.'

{We do indeed find that annoying. By the way, your surprise is just up ahead.}

I decided that a surprise is not something to be ignored, so I rushed ahead and looked for it.

And then I saw it. The most disgusting thing I have seen to date.

(In virtue of not disgusting myself by looking at more pictures of teratoma and cysts, I am just going to say that it looks like a teratoma contained in a cyst made of rotting flesh.

If you know what both of those are, then you understand my reasoning. I combined the two due to them being summoning 'items' (hive cyst being a creature) for the hive mind.)

It was horrifying to look at, so I decided to just run in the direction of the closest hole so that I can get my loot and return home.

So I repeated my entry in the same style as last time, and quickly located the location of my fight.

{This place contradicts the idea of the Corruption.}

I was confused by the Gods' words.

'How?'

The gods' voice was practically giddy sounding, and I knew why as soon as they said the next words.

{This place is quite holey.}

'F*** you. You're getting kicked out again.'

{Wai-}

'Huh, it still works.'

I was genuinely surprised that my mental kick order still works.

And then I remembered why I was back here.

I hurried to grab the loot, and immediately mirrored away.

I decided that I was tired of everything today, so I decided to speed up the unboxing process a bit.

I just flipped the bag upside down and shook it.

The items that fell were as follows:

[Worm Scarf]

[Eater's Bone]

[Shadow scales and Demonite ore]

[Eater of Worlds Mask]

I was too tired to care about their stats, so I just collected the items and went home so that I could spend the rest of the day sleeping.

And that was exactly what I did.
