When Belle gets home, Liz is waiting for him on the couch.
"What are you doing up, you should've gone to bed." Belle chides.
"I wanted to wait for you, besides, I have to tell you the good news," Liz says. Despite how late it is, her eyes shine and her voice is cheerful.
"I take it everything went well with your date tonight?" Belle inquires.
"Mhm, it was the best, I'll let you meet her in a few months, I want us to be steady first." She tells him.
"Boo, can you at least tell me her name?" He pouts.
"Nope, no way, absolutely not. I bet you'd just look her up on the internet or something." She accuses.
"Ehhhh, no I wouldn't" Belle argues. Liz gives him an accusatory glare.
"How did it go tonight?" Liz asks, changing the subject.
"Pretty good, I saved his brother and all that. Everything was fine." He states. Belle plops down on the couch next to Liz, he's exhausted from running around all night.
"Good, but it looks like you need to go to bed, c'mon," Liz says. She stands up and grabs Belle's arm, dragging him off the couch.
"Nooooo, just let me sleep here, I don't wanna move." He whines. After a lot of arguing Belle finally makes it to his bed, where he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. The next morning, Belle opens his new weapon.
[The Butcher's Cleaver is something that disturbs many when they happen upon a butcher shop. It has been made into a horror movie weapon for many a masked killer. Has the ability to confuse a spirit if they get stabbed.]
Since Belle earned a ton of Ghost Points with the latest stream, he decided to upgrade different things. It costs ten Ghost Points to upgrade the Butcher's Cleaver, and fifteen to upgrade the Ghost Capsule where Cam lives. It takes a hundred points to upgrade the system and unlock new features. Belle currently has 114 Ghost Points, he decides to upgrade the system first. He can easily get enough points to upgrade the other things if he streams and upgrading the system could provide unknown benefits. Without any hesitation, he clicks the button to upgrade the system. The system explodes into trumpets and confetti once the upgrade finishes, the only obvious thing is a new page that reads [Ghost Index], Belle clicks on it and the page opens up to show every single ghost he's ever encountered so far.
[Name: Martha. Spirit Type: Lesser Spirit. She was the mother of a beautiful family until her life got ripped away from her by a spirit inhabiting her husband's body.]
[Name: Samuel. Spirit Type: Lesser Spirit. He was the father of a beautiful family until a spirit forced him to kill his family and then himself.]
[Name: Kenzie. Spirit Type: Lesser Spirit. She was the daughter of a beautiful family until she was killed by a spirit inhabiting her father's body.]
[Name: Leonard. Spirit Type: First-Level. He was a former serial killer who was killed in a police shootout at what would one day become the Harrington House. Ability: Mental Takeover.]
[Name: Mary. Spirit Type: Fourth-Level. A nice girl who was pushed to the edge of sanity by bullying and took her own life by scratching her eyes out. Ability: Paranoia.]
[Name: Hanako. Spirit Type: Third-Level. An elementary schoolgirl who loved all things dark and macabre was coerced into the dark side of humanity and after experimenting, she accidentally killed herself with razor blades. Ability: Razor Blades of Intense Pain.]
[Name: Helen. Spirit Type: Second-Level. A high school girl who had an affair with a boy from her school, this caused the boy's girlfriend to ruthlessly bully her and eventually push her off the roof. Ability: Emotional Pain.]
[Name: Irene. Spirit Type: Lesser Spirit. A high school girl who ruthlessly bullied and eventually killed another after she stole her boyfriend, upon returning to school and confessing on the rooftop to her boyfriend, she felt bouts of extreme fear at the school, eventually causing her to commit suicide.]
[With points, you may choose one spirit from the index to aid you in battle. The number of points will depend on how powerful the spirit is and you may only summon a spirit once and it will only stay for a few hours.]
This was game-changing, Belle had to rub his eyes a few times to check what it was saying. If he could summon someone like Bloody Mary he could clear a mission in no time. He immediately goes to check how many points it is and cringes at the number. The lesser spirits only cost 50 points, but Bloody Mary costs a whopping 500. Belle clicks off of the page, deciding to save it for later as he's too broke for it. He opens the [Store] to find two new items waiting for him. A [Spirit Box] and [Capture Box]. The spirit box allows the user to communicate with lesser spirits by using radio frequencies. The capture box allows the user to capture lesser spirits so they won't get in the way. The spirit box costs 15 Ghost Points while the capture box costs 20.
"Why does everything have to be so expensive?" Belle pouts, putting the system away for now and getting ready for the day. Liz is already up and getting ready for work, she works as a photographer for a startup company. They've been getting good reviews so far and Liz's work has been highly praised.
"Good morning, I need to be out of here in ten minutes but I should be getting off early today, do you want to do something this afternoon?" Liz asks him. Belle is about to answer something along the lines of 'Watch a drama' or 'Go out to eat' when he has a better idea.
"Would you want to help me with a stream tonight?" Belle questions. She gives him a side eye as she eats her breakfast.
"What's in it for me?" She asks.
"I could give your work a shoutout and I could give you some of the profit." He states.
"Deal. See you later!" She exclaims, rushing to finish her food and racing out the door.
"Haha, this should be fun," Belle smirks.
