In Which The Overlord Compromises A Previously-Held Stance
He'd said he hated it. That was still true.
He'd said it'd be nothing like the real thing. That was still true.
He'd said he'd never do it. And that... was where he had to change his mind.
Months stuck as a book (and that one time, a big robot for the party) had taken their toll. He'd ignored it, he'd dealt with it, he'd shrugged it off like it was no big deal. And really, it wasn't. He still had his mana power, and that was really what mattered. Getting everything else back was just a matter of patience and kicking ass.
But damn it, he really freaking missed arms!
So today the sensorium held not a book in the arms of a vapidly cheerful minion, but a tall demon with literal fire for hair and swirling mana around his legs, examining his hands as he slowly flexed them.
"Hmph. Not as good as the original... but, better than I had hoped," he said out loud.
