A man is transmigrated into a story as the villain destined to be destroyed by the hero. To survive his doomed fate, he sets out to change the obsessive enemy who is supposed to end him into someone devoted to his side.
Some hexlings release neurotoxins when frightened. You could die along with it. I'd rather die than lose my freedom. The original Elias drugged you.
You implanted a hexling in me. That makes us even. From now on, we go our separate ways. We're not even.
You like me too, don't you? Not killing you means I like you. You had plenty of chances to kill me that night. Every time.
But you let go every time. I just couldn't be bothered to kill you. Would you spare anyone else? Host, anyone else would have died long before getting close.
Shut up. Your wound reopened. Does it hurt? Not too bad.
Let me remove the next hex link for you. Don't hurt yourself like this again. You're planning on doing this again? Your hand tastes so sweet, Eli.
