Story so far
Weighing whether to slaughter the surrendered mercenaries for a 300-point stat gain, Carl thought about the people following his progress. He knew a lot of them would be enraged that he didn't do exactly that.
They would call him stupid. They would be disappointed in the lack of blood he shed. They would angrily unfollow his feed because he was not the monster they hoped he would be. 'Fuck you all,' he thought — twice — and gave away the Ring of Divine Suffering instead.
