"What..? Where am I..?"

<You are currently inside of; Human Lv. 5. Please Infect more cells.>

"Inside a Human..? That doesn't sound right... Who am I..?"

<You are the Virus Farexia Hallucinia, you are a Brain Disease that destroys neurological tissue causing madness in humans.>

"I'm a Virus..? That's right, I'm a Virus..!"

Sluggishly moving towards the nearest cell, I injected it with my DNA, causing it to begin to grow unstable, as my mind began to split to each of my new bodies. The cell began to turn black as thousands of new bodies filled it to the brim, before exploding in a violent eruption of black viral bodies which began to infect more and more cells.

"Heh... This'll be easy."

Human Lv. 5 POV

"I'm telling you doctor, I keep seeing this woman made of tar in my dreams, and sometimes I see shadows in my peripheral."

"Hmm... Well this sounds like a case of your average Farexia Hallucinia infection, or Coal Miner Disease. I recommend you drink a few Potions of Health and get plenty of rest."

"Thanks Doc."

Farexia POV

"What's that..?"

<Human Lv. 5 has discovered you, they are attempting to kill you off using Potions of Health.>

"What do those do..?"

<They charge the body with a wave of healing energy that kills off any bacteria and viruses in the body before revitalizing it.>

"Oh no..!"

Pain wracked my bodies as I felt my cells be torn to pieces, but not willing to just die, I tried to resist being destroyed as much as possible. Slowly the pain began to die down, and as I continued my infection, another wave of pain wracked my bodies, which continued in waves, trying but failing to kill me off completely.

<From resisting the pain of being cured, you have gained the Trait; Resistant.>

The pain finally eased up, as only a hundred of my bodies remained, but any new attempts to cure me resulted in nothing, no pain, destroyed bodies, I could continue my infection.

<Opening Status Page...>

"How do I level up..?"

<Successfully infecting an individual completely will earn you a level, each level will increase your control over your bodies.>

"Well I better get to work..!"
