'What if…'
Mark's train of thought was cut short by Rose's sudden words.
"Before you say whatever you're about to say, I want you to know I'm against it."
Mark, who hadn't said anything yet, blinked a couple of times and turned to look at the vampire with a raised eyebrow.
"But I haven't said anything yet."
"You don't need to say anything," Rose replied, crossing her arms with that self-satisfied expression that seemed to be her natural state. "It's pretty obvious what you're about to suggest… You want to keep pushing forward floor by floor, using that passive ability of yours to grind experience without the monsters detecting you. Am I wrong?"
Mark opened his mouth, then closed it again.
'What the hell?'
The feeling that came over him was strange — not unpleasant, but… unexpected.
Since arriving in this world, or rather, since he'd had subordinates, not one of them had ever questioned anything he did.
