"Oh, you think?" the system snapped, voice crackling like static thunder. "Next time, why don't you eat poison? Or maybe another daemon while you're at it!"
"I mean… I think I'm immune to poison."

Ben perked up his ears making sure he won't miss any word. He could tell the sytem doesn't have long, and he's kinda the one that cause it.
