Chapter Type: Character Development, Time Jump
I wasn't about to infect the crew members for experience; but since the rats on the vessel weren't Aware (I would wonder about that later)…
It wasn't just experience toward Lifeshaper, though. I had to wonder what sort of people worked on things like Plaguewalker until it was a class. Or who thought up enough variants of Evil Eye that it became a compound ability.
It wasn't all evil experience, if there is such a thing. On some days, I would learn something about Carpentry or Shipwright. I even gained some experience in a class called Hermit, during three days that a particularly long torrent of wind and rain kept me stranded in the drydock.
And it turns out that even normal rats had a society, of sorts.
I had to balance my experimentation with my normal duties, lessons from the women, and tending to the new shrine, and the nature around it. (But mostly the never-ending invasion of leaves and twigs.)
