"I see you don't trust what I said. It's okay, it's the natural reaction you're supposed to have in times like this. I mean, how many times did you escape death today, right? Was it like one, two, five... five times, right?" the ghost figure said, as if he knew everything I did.
He said while he was moving back toward the wall that had clothes.
"Here, first, put on some clothes. You've been running around like that throughout the whole castle. It's a bit uncomfortable to me." Picking up a few clothes from the wall, he brought them toward me and gave them to me.
"Come on, go on. I don't want to watch you change," he said as he looked away from me.
But why the hell did he do that? I was already naked.
Standing up from the chair, I changed into the clothes he gave me.
Strangely, they were the same kind of clothes I wore before.
"So, who are you? A ghost?" I asked as I changed clothes.
"Actually, I don't know. One day, I suddenly gained consciousness in this place. And since then, I've been living here. I can't go out or talk to anyone other than the one inside the castle, too."
While he was talking, I finished changing into the clothes.
"So then why are you saving me?" I asked, looking toward him. That was the obvious question I wanted an answer to.
"Because I want you to do something for me," the ghost said, looking toward me with a serious expression.
"You know the two girls that brought you here. Even though I was born consciousness, I have countless memories of myself witnessing how they killed humans and sucked their life forces out from them. You could say I was like their afterlife spirit. In a matter of fact, I was not the only one here." As he said that, suddenly the whole room turned dark as slight shadows of ghost-like figures appeared all over the room. They didn't appear clearly like the first one, and I could only see shadow-like appearances. And in the next second, the room brightened again, and they disappeared.
"So you're like the spirits of the people killed by those two?"
"Exactly."
"I have a question, what exactly are those two? Are they demons or angels?" I asked because I was unable to figure them out only by their appearance, as they might be angels because of their angel-like wings, but the things they do don't match the description of their actions.
"They are called fallen angels, I think you already heard of them from your world, the angels that were kicked out of heaven because of their sinful behavior and thoughts."
"So that's what they are. That explains their behavior."
"Not exactly. Those two are descended from those fallen ones and have mixed blood, I heard it when once they talked among each other," suddenly I heard a whisper close to my ears telling me those things.
"Whoa, don't scare me like that."
"Stay focused. They don't have physical appearances like me, and only being extremely close to you they can speak."
"Got it. Then what about the thing you want me to do for you? Is it to kill them? But if you're asking for that, you already might know that they are far more stronger than me."
"Absolutely not, what... we don't want them dead... we just want you to rape them and fuck their brains out."
"...?" His answer is not what I expected.
"What? That confuses me. Don't you all want revenge from them for your deaths?" I asked.
"F*ck revenge, if I could only see that bitch's orgasm face like a bitch in heat one more time, that's all. Enough for me." The ghost's expression changed as he talked, looking like he really meant what he said.
"But why me? Can't any of you do that to them?"
"We can't. None of us managed to outlast any one of them and make them orgasm, so that's why we chose you. You're the only man we ever saw who managed to make that filora slut cum." The ghosts seemed to feel strange pleasure when talking about making them orgasm.
They're probably talking about that time, truthfully, I didn't know exactly what happened there; it was like something other than me taking control of my body at that time. And I didn't know if I could do it again; I didn't even manage to hold it in when I was fucking that witch.
"Are you thinking about your sudden erectile dysfunction?" suddenly the ghost in front of me asked.
I became confused. How did they know whatever I was thinking, and how did they know what happened to me like they had been watching all of that?
"How is it that you all know about everything happening to me?"
" It's a simple task, as it tells you, when we were born in this house, we also got the ability to manipulate this castal however we want, and we could even see what's happening everywhere. That's how we saw what's happened to you all this time."
"That explains everything...And..yes, I was thinking about my erectile dysfunction. Also, what I want to say is I won't be able to do what you're asking. You might have seen that, right? How I can't even move when looking at them directly." With my words, the ghosts showed a smiling expression on his face.
"You're worrying about fearing them, but we already taked care it for you. Didn't you feel a sudden rise of your confidence when dealing with those imp? It's not to the point that you could face anything without fear, but it managed to successfully make your confidence rise somewhat," he said.
"Really? But I didn't feel anything of a sudden feeling, but now that you mentioned it, it is strange that I walked right into fighting them. usually I was a bit of a coward myself. No shame about that," I said to him.
"Seems we have to raise it more so you can stand confidently in front of those two," he said, and suddenly, he clapped his hands.
And suddenly, the whole room became darkened, and yellowish-colored ghosts appeared all around me.
"Can you see them now?" the first ghost asked me.
"Are they the ones killed by them?" I asked, to which he replied with a nod.
"Ah, here's the guy," he suddenly said, showing one of the ghost figures among them. That one is a bit larger compared to the others.
"The guy's confidence in himself is quite impressive. He managed to push that Gilda Bitch away and ran outside of the castle, and he's the only one who managed to do that among all of us," he explained, pointing to the ghostly figure.
"Unfortunately, he got beaten to half-death by imps, and in the end, sucked dry by Gilda."
"And now, let me do this," he suddenly extended his hand towards that ghost, and as he did, it sucked toward his hand and turned into a golden-like ball. After that, he suddenly thrust that ball into my body.
Instantly, my body shined in golden shine, and I felt like my vision about the world changed a bit, and my fear of these ghosts disappeared. I also began to remember some strange memories in my head.
"Did you kill him?" I asked because that's the only explanation I could think of.
"Don't worry about it. Now, let's move on to the next subject," the ghost said as he looked toward another group of ghosts. They brought a strange rock toward him, and taking it, he offered it to me.
"Take it, and also," he suddenly crouched in front of me and looked toward my stomach.
"You did eat Filora's flesh, right?" he asked.
"Yes, but I did it in a half-consciousness state."
"However, the fact that her flesh didn't kill you means you probably absorbed her flesh into your body. Usually, you'd explode the moment your mouth touched her blood, but this is a new development."
"Is it a good or bad thing?" I asked.
"I don't know yet, but if it begins to show some effect on you, it means that you probably have to say goodbye to your normal life on Earth," the ghost said, looking at me. "Speaking of Earth, you never asked about a reward for the task, right?"
He suddenly snap his hand again, and we returned to the small room. After that, he walked toward the door and opened it. Beyond it, what I saw was the planet Earth slowly rotating in space.
"If you do what we're asking, you can go back to your home," he said as he closed the door again.
"But are you sure you want to go back to that ordinary life, knowing full well that a world like this also exists?" he asked me, giving me a doubting look.
I thought for a bit about my life on Earth and this strange and magical world I discovered. As I thought about all of this, I realized that...
"Fuck yeah, I want to go. You think I will give up on my comfortable life just because of some pussy in this world?" My first thought never changed, and I wanted to get the hell out of here as fast as possible and forget about all of this.
"I see, looks like boosting your morale made your decision more direct," said the ghost. "Ah, about that crystal," he spoke, pointing toward the rock he gave me. I looked toward it and saw a strange symbol on the surface of this dark red crystal.
"Its purpose is to give you a supernatural ability. You surely want one when facing those two," he said.
"Supernatural ability?" As those words rang in my ears, my level of excitement about this crystal skyrocketed.
"Are you telling me that I can get a real supernatural ability like laser eyes, flying, something like that?" I asked him again because I couldn't believe if I heard it right.
"Yes, you heard right what I said. It will give you a superpower, but depending on yourself. I'm not sure what it'll give you. And to obtain that thing from that whitch I had to plan for months to secretly take it from her, so remember that I'm giving you my most valuable treasure," the ghost showed some emotions as he said that.
But I had no time to worry about him because I was already wondering about what kind of ability I will get from it.
"So how do I use it? Do I swallow it or..."
"No, no. Just slowly crush it in your hand. Apparently, that crystal came from the first created crystal after creation, so it holds a trace of power from the beginning. I originally planned to use it myself, but I need to have a physical body. Also, when a ghost's dying wish gets fulfilled, they literally vanish from existence. So what's the point of waiting for something like that for my short-lived existence when you're going to fulfill it?" The ghost's emotions are showing on his face clearly this time.
But without a second of waiting , I held the crystal up and crushed it and its dust fell all over my body.
