by Midnight Cultivator
He doesn't kill to acquire hosts. But he needs hosts to die for him to survive. The dark math of his existence: someone's death is his continued life. He doesn't cause it. But does he linger near the dying? Does he gravitate toward battlefields? Does he, given two people in danger, unconsciously prioritize saving the one whose body would be more useful? These questions don't have comfortable answers, and the novel doesn't provide them.
