Inner Voice

"Huh?" Gore's eyes momentarily glazed over when he heard this other voice.

It sounded like his inner voice. It was familiar, but at the same time, it felt vastly unfamiliar for some reason.

Before he could think more about it, his inner voice sounded once again.

You may never reach the abandoned manor by yourself. But who says you have to be alone?

Gore fell into deep contemplation, thinking to himself, That… indeed sounds reasonable. Why do I have to be alone? I can get a large group of Magi with me, and have them act as bait while I bag the treasures!

Precisely, said the inner voice. Those weaklings would never amount to anything in their lives anyway. It is their glorious honor to pave the path for you to reach greater heights.

"Yes…" Gore mumbled in a daze.
