After phasing through the door Jack saw a lawn with a path going straight to a curb with a mailbox on the right side and a beautiful flower garden.
'Amazing... It's a normal neighborhood.' Jack thought sarcastically as he moved towards the curb outside of the property line right past the mailbox and flowers.
Just as he stepped one foot outside of the family's property line onto a public curb, He was struck with a wave of weakness and nausea, as he almost stumbled to the ground.
[WARNING!!]
[Please do not leave the place of the haunt without being attached to a living entity or else soul degradation will rapidly begin.]
Jack quickly gathered himself and hurriedly took a step back, almost instantly he felt much better.
'Ooooh man, let's not try that again.' Jack thought as he read the system's warning.
'Ugh, I'm just gonna go watch television again.' Jack walked back to the door and phased through making his way to the television and spent the energy he just barely regained to turn the television on.
'I need to stop lazing around and accept that I'm a ghost now.' He gathers his resolve to take his new life seriously and level up as much as possible after all he chose the phantom specialization for that purpose.
A few hours later Jack having regained half of his energy hears the door opening and closing. Hopeful that his boredom will end he hurried over to see Sarah coming in.
Sarah who just came back from watching Angelica get on the school bus and chatted with some of her neighbors and decided to start cleaning the house, but before she could start she noticed the television turned on again.
She didn't think much of it and just shut it off again thinking she should talk to David about buying a new television this one is getting old anyways and a new one might not work for whatever neighbor's remote that is turning the television on.
Jack watched her prepare to busy herself and wondered about his next move since he decided to terrorize this husband and wife for his benefit.
Now you may ask "What about Angelica?" Sorry, He still can't bring himself to bully a little girl. Maybe a prank here and there but not too much.
After some thought, he finally decided on a plan of action. He watched and waited for Sarah to busy herself in a room. She eventually went to Angelica's room so Jack prepared himself just outside Angelica's door.
As soon as Sarah had her back to the door he focused on his feet and made 2 quick steps, with a quick thought and glance he found he lost half of the energy he just regained.
[3/10]
'I hope when I level up it increases my energy cap. Hopefully, it even increases my regen.' He painfully thought because his current energy and regen limited his actions too much.
Sarah heard footsteps behind her and quickly turned around with a look of horror on her face because she is the only one supposed to be home at this time of the day.
However, her face swiftly changed to confusion as she saw nothing when she expected an intruder to be right behind her. Now that she calmed down she suspiciously thought about how no one could get in without her hearing the door considering she was right next to it.
She slowly made her way out the door after making sure she didn't see anyone and as she did she unknowingly passed right through Jack. Suddenly feeling cold she hugged herself and shivered.
'Is the air on, why is it so cold here?' She thought as she turned into the main hallway glancing left and right for anything. She saw no one so she walked right to the front door and jingled the handle finding it was locked so no one should have been able to sneakily get in.
Confused she almost questioned life as she knows for sure she heard footsteps behind her.
Jack watching her doesn't feel the same amount of joy scaring her as he did when he scared David.
'Ha, I guess beautiful women do have some downsides.' Jack sighed and thought sadly.
Jack watched as Sarah took a while to calm down and then got back to work as she thought about how she is gonna have a conversation with David after they put Angelica to bed later tonight.
She finished cleaning Angelica's room and supposed she should take check the time and then take a break as she walked to the kitchen to make herself lunch.
She saw how it was around 1 p.m.
So she went over her schedule in her head. She has to make and eat lunch and then finish up her chores around the house before going to wait for Angelica at the bus stop to pick her up.
Jack meanwhile absentmindedly followed and watched her as he mentally called out his status.

'Just a little more. I should wait until my energy is full and do something big tonight.' Jack decided as he was determined to level up tonight.
Time passed and After she ate and cleaned, she decided to go outside and take care of her garden before she left to pick up her daughter.
Sarah checked her phone and saw the time was about right to soon get ready to leave to pick up Angelica. So she took a quick shower and changed from her dirt cover clothes, gathered her things, and soon she was out the door with it locked behind her.
As Jack is alone again he determines that he shouldn't waste any energy even though he is sorely tempted to turn the television on.
Instead, he wanders around the house while determining what big things he should do later tonight when his energy is full.
