Kyle's eyes widened in horror.
"You turned me into a schizo?!" he asked in shock.
"What? No! You're my inheritor! What's a schizo? I've never heard of such a word," Theodor answered from inside of Kyle.
"A schizo is..." Kyle started but then stopped. "You're not going to remember my explanation, right?"
"I have limited space for acquiring new knowledge. You see, creating a Golem akin to humans is-"
"Yes, yes, you explained that already," Kyle said.
"How dare you interrupt me?! As my inheritor..."
Kyle's right eyelid twitched in rage and frustration as the voice inside his head kept narrating things he already knew.
'What the fuck,' Kyle thought. 'Am I crazy now? If I'm not, I swear this fucking voice inside my head is going to make me crazy!'
"Why are you inside my head anyway?! Can't you just write books or whatever and teach me that way?!" Kyle asked in frustration after Theodor was done explaining.
"Insurance," Theodor answered. "How else will I make sure that you won't betray my last wishes and just run away with all of my knowledge?"
"And what's to stop me now?" Kyle asked.
Then, Theodor started laughing maniacally.
"Ahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
As Kyle listened to the maniacal laughter, he grew nervous.
'This guy is actually nuts.'
Silence.
"Yes?" Kyle asked.
"What? Ask a proper question!" Theodor demanded.
"What's to stop me from not fulfilling your last wishes?" Kyle asked.
Yet, as Theodor started to laugh again, he knew that he had fucked up.
But that was nothing new to him.
'I should rephrase, or he will start laughing again.'
"What are you going to do to me if I won't fulfill your last wishes?" Kyle asked.
"I will blow up," Theodor said, and Kyle could swear he heard the evil smirk in that sentence.
"Okay, and how would that affect me?" Kyle asked.
"Let me put it so that a foolish mortal like you can understand the situation you are in," Theodor said with an arrogant tone. "I am a stone inside your brain. If I blow up, your brain blows up."
Kyle took a deep breath.
'That's bad, right?'
"Wait, you put a stone in my brain?" he asked.
"How dare you refer to the mighty work of art that is the Inheritance Crystal as a mere stone?!" Theodor shouted.
"You literally just called it a stone yourself," Kyle answered.
"I did not! I would never refer to the Inheritance Crystal as a stone!" Theodor answered.
'Holy fucking shit,' Kyle thought. 'This guy is gaslighting me... but not really? I mean, he genuinely doesn't remember what he said.'
Kyle was still reeling from the shock of realizing that there was a talking stone inside his brain now.
"Will you fuck off if I fulfill your dying wishes?!" Kyle asked with frustration.
"Yes," Theodor answered.
Kyle sighed with annoyance. "Fine! What's your last wish or whatever?"
"I want you to kill Hieronimus Skysand and wipe out his lineage!" Theodor said.
'Skysand?' Kyle thought. 'Isn't that the name of the kingdom I'm residing in, Skysand Kingdom?'
"What's Hieronimus Skysand's job?" Kyle asked.
"He is the King of the Skysand Kingdom," Theodor answered.
Kyle took a deep breath.
"Eh, how strong is he?" he asked.
"He is one of the eight Transcendents of this world and has two other Transcendents working under him. He is one of the four strongest beings in the entire world."
Kyle just looked forward aimlessly.
"You want me, a foolish mortal, to assassinate one of the strongest people in the entire world," Kyle repeated.
"And eradicate his lineage, correct," Theodor added.
"Why?" Kyle asked.
