What benefits did it give or how much Authority he had now? He wondered if the world knew anything about the system but rechecking Mallory's memories there was no such thing as a system.
The world was completely different from Earth, at least from Mallory's perspective. He grew up in the countryside area where there was an agricultural lifestyle with not much technological or infrastructural development. It was clear that a thing like a system didn't exist on the planet. It was unheard of.
"Haah!" He sighed.
'These things should come with a manual.' Théoden grumbled as he thought of the misfortunes in his life.
Theo lay back on the hard ground and closed his eyes. He remembered the irking memory of his hunger for the hideous creature. When his thoughts aligned with the body's newly found weird tendencies. To be more accurate, his body forced such thoughts on his mind, but even that fact was repulsive in Théoden's mind.
The monster smelled sweet and appetizing. He craved feasting on it whole and had images of it being cut up into pieces and made in his favorite forms of food. In stew form, hard grilled or fried. It was so vivid he visibly shuddered.
He realized how much humanity he was losing at the moment. This wasn't something a human would think towards a demon. It was disgusting and irking and his entire being trembled with the rejection of the idea, but at that time yesterday, he was completely immersed in the aromatic scent of the monster.
Théoden realized the attachment of his humanity he had lost. Something he couldn't erase or get back for the rest of his life. It could be because the body he possessed had gone through death and thus lost its humanity. Mallory was not the type to have such thoughts either.
'I have changed. I should go back to normal. I have to.'
His thoughts getting more muddled he rose and looked at the vicinity of where he was. He noticed the few things piled up near him. They looked like the belongings of the humanoid demon. Dirty ragged clothes like a robe, a few thick metal cuffs, and a piece of weird neck jewelry.

Having read the description, he stared at the neck jewelry much more intently due to its golden luster. It was probably made entirely of gold. It had intricate curving of an ancient language scribbled around it. They seemed to glow a bit. In curiosity, he reached out and touched it.
[Type: Neck Jewelry. grade: Unique. Description: Allows for multiracial communication. Enables the Host to understand others' messages or intentions as if a native. Passes on the Host's intention or message as well.]
Looking back, Théoden was somewhat able to understand the demon's words despite it not speaking in a language he knew. He was too preoccupied with fighting for his life, that, that detail completely slipped his mind.
It was a handy item to have on a completely new planet. The item looked precious and by looking at the fact that Mallory never had seen one it was classified as a rare item. Expensive at least. It would higher his chances of survival, with that in mind he didn't mind taking the item from the perished demon. He had done it multiple times to feel any guilt.
'My victory trophy.'
Théoden placed the golden chocker on his neck since it was a piece of neck equipment, but he felt it was too huge. It would probably fall on his shoulder due to its wide circumference, but that didn't happen. The choker shrank as the ancient texts glowed to fit his neck perfectly.
The texts sank into the choker leaving no trace of it. It turned into a natural neckpiece with a slightly less eye-catching glow. It wasn't as uncomfortable or heavy as it formally looked. It felt like a cool scarf on his neck. Théoden smiled at the discovery of something impossible, actually possible.
