"Then you call yourself Bogs Bunny like Warner's rabbit? Hehehe," John said.
"Technically Yes!" I said shrinking my shoulders.
"Do you have more family?" I repeated it, interrupting his relaxed expression. He bends his head sad. I rubbed his head, as a sign that I understood, that he did not want to talk about it.
"Don't worry!" I told him. While we continue digging the pit. At the end of the ditch, we put what was left of the parents' body and John says goodbye to his parents' body, although it was not very emotional, logically, because, although his parents have died and he cannot hug them they were technically with him, still.
Sometime later...
We clean the kitchen and the house, as best as possible, take out some dishes and prepare some tuna sandwiches.
"Hey! How did you do that?" John said.
"What level are you?" I said.
"I don't now? He said.
"Say Status menu!" I told him. When John said it. In front of him appeared a Window that said:

Spiritualist:
It is an attribute that allows human beings to see all kinds of spirits, in addition to allowing them to communicate with them and depending on the level, they will be able to communicate with the spirit world. Which means they can one or more spirits to this world, or make contracts with spirits or ghosts of this world and turn them into companions, protective force or guardians. So, the spiritualist will be able to share or mix up his attributes and powers with his Guardian."
Seeing the states of Maria and Pedro, I could understand why they could not remain invisible all the time. Which leads me to think Yoki had been dead for a long time.
Of their statistics the one I was most interested in was flying, so I had to think of a good excuse to touch John's parents to make them absorb this ability.
"Ding! Absorption of Don Chico pending!" Said the mechanical voice. I looked at Juan, to see if he heard the notification, and I realized that he did not react. Which means that the voice from the Unknown Dimension, I can only hear in my mind. This relieved me a lot
With that out of my mind, I thought about the attributes that most interested me about Don Chico:
"
Armor: 100 pts
Photosynthesis:1000 pts
Melee weapon: 50 pts.
Night Vision: 60 pts.
"
Mainly night vision and photosynthesis; they were the ones I liked the most. Since photosynthesis would increase my energy levels and my oxygen level, within my body, night vision would help me at night.
However, I wonder how a tree can see since it has no eyes, how this attribute would really affect me. At the moment I would leave that decision for a while, since it is very strange that Don Chico disappears as happened with Beast, when he turned into a ghost and then returned to his body.
Armor and Melee Weapon look interesting. But not enough to waste absorption.
John after we examined his statistics said:
"I can see your statistics?"
"No need! I am level 3. If you look at your parents' statistics you can see that they have attributes similar to yours and at the same time they are different. Which means it depends on your species and the actions you do the way you will learn new skills or attributes. Which leads us to the action of communicating with your dead parents, which allowed you to develop the Spiritualist ability, which is a skill that I do not have yet. But surely learn by talking to your parents." I said. So, I saw his face light up. With what I told him I divert his interest to see my status.
Even though the reality was, I didn't want him to see my Hero title and assume it was my obligation to save him.
...
Suddenly in the place where John's parents were floating, their heads began to grow spooky bones, until they could stand on their legs as a person would. Even though they were dressed in plain white clothes that cover their chest, abdomen and pelvis to the middle of the knee. In other words, his clothes were trousers and shirt for Pedro. Blouse and Petticoat for Maria, her feet were shoehorned with simple sandals.
"What happened?" I said. Surprised by the change.
"By being buried, we can now fully access our bodies!" Mary said, as they took advantage and hugged her son.
John's father released his son and came to me and said:
"Can you be our son's Guardian?" Since childhood I have always been very transparent with my emotions, so surely on my face you could see how indisposed to become John's adoptive father. So, both parents ran towards me they took my hands and said:
"We will give you all our attribute and all or powers!"
"Ding! The activation of Absorption of attributes has been paused" Said the mechanical voice in my mind. It seemed like my system wasn't silly.
"Ding! Do you agree to be the Guardian parent of Juan Gutiérrez Ferrer?" For all the attributes of Juan's guardians!" La mechanical voice of the Unknown Dimension said. Pedro, Maria, and John, looked everywhere scared when they heard the voice.
"Tatica god! Why a Deadman wish? " I thought sighing, it seemed like I wasn't going to be able to escape the responsibility. I had to decide.
"John do you want me to be your Guardian parent?" I told John as I looked at him. I had to ask him. Well, to be sure that he would accept my authority over him. Raising a teenager is difficult and much more so if he does not recognize you as his guardian.
"Why do I need a Guardian parent if I have you?" John said looking at his parents. They let go of my hands and crouched down at John's height As they hugged him, and simultaneously pointed something above them, it was a Morpho butterfly, which I hadn't seen before in that place:
"She has told us, that we have to go to Mictland to purify ourselves so that we can meet our ancestors. To return to the cycle of life." John upon hearing this began to cry. It was strange to see him crying out of control.
"What is Mictland?" I said.
"It is the Underworld where all the Mexicans go to stop, it is the last stop before deciding to rest forever or be reborn. But this place is made up of 9 layers or sectors where we must fulfill different missions." Mary said.
"Then you will leave and not come back?" I ask.
"Our son may summon us, for a short period of time, where we may perform or receive an attack for him or may use our attributes or our powers!" Peter said.
"But if I take all your attribute right now your child wouldn't be able to use your attributes, when you are summoned to this world?!" I said. John's parents looked at each other in a guilty way.
I opened my dimensional box and pulled out a zombie's core and beast's core. Showing them to them and I said:
"Eat this, I will take 40% of yours attributes and John will take 50%. On the condition that if your child summons you will be responsible for as long as you are in this world." I offered them these cores, because Yoki as a ghost could eat the cores of the monsters. But also if it served them since Yoki did not like the stones of zombies, for some reason. Also, that when Yoki ate these cores, she became stronger, although I must also admit that she had no other type of kernel and wanted to experience the effects of these cores.
"Why would you take only 40% of our attributes?" Said Pedro looking suspiciously at me, while he and his partner looked at the cores as if I had a treasure in my hands, which I began to shake from side to side while they following them with their eyes. They were very interested in them. Even though Peter tried to pretend otherwise while failing pompously.
"You mentioned that you must fulfill different missions in Mictland, so if I remove all of your attributes, there is a possibility that you can not fulfill the missions, and as I do not know what will happen if you fail your missions it's better that you have a little power in your bodies than no power at all." I told them.
