I move out of the room by walking through the door into a hallway. The tan carpet and the dark blue peeling paint on the walls tells me that no one has been here for a while.
But the still hanging picture frames of people tells me whoever was here died in this house or left in a hurry.
I look to my left and see a bathroom. With the right being stairs I take a look into the other bedroom. Dolls everywhere is how I would describe it.
I go back too the hallway and take the stairs down. I end up with clear view into a living roo-
'That's a dead person.' Frowning at the sight of an old lady dead in her rocking chair. The thought that my body will probably never be found pops into my head. I ignore that and focus.
I then have an idea. I move to the night stand beside the old lady's rocking chair. I see an old flip phone and try to grab it. My hand passes right through it.
I try again and again until I get frustrated. My hand speed which is no longer a grab but almost a punch hits the table rocking it.
'So it's emotion based. I can work with that, I'm just glad I missed the phone.' Thinking about my death and all the emotions that come with it. I reach out to the phone again.
I open it and call 911. I feel exhausted and the phone falls from my hand.
'I'm so tired all of the sudden.'

'Mp is basically my hp I almost died doing that.'
"-we are dispatching an officer to your location immediately."
I sigh as I hear the lady on the phone say that. 'Good they can help this old lady get buried. Also an opportunity to get some recognition.'
*pov police dispatcher*
I sit down at my desk after talking to Ron. 'If he wasnt married.' A call interrupts my thoughts. 'If it's that kid again.'
I awnser the call "911 what's your emergency?" I hear a crash. My training kicks in and I immediately trace the call. "Hello? if you can hear me stay calm. we are dispatching an officer to your location immediately." 'I hope there alright.'
*Pov officer green*
I pull into a dirt driveway and an old house comes into view. It's a two story house that's an off green color. 'no one is looking at me through the windows. So who called?'
I step out of the car. I get to the front door and seeing no doorbell I go to knock only for the door to open before I can. 'Well that isn-'
The stench of death hits me and I pull out my gun. "Police, if you can hear me make yourself known!" I yell as i move past some stairs into a living room. I pause as I see an old lady dead on a rocking chair.
Doing a quick scan I see phone on the floor with the 911 number still on the screen. 'She seems to have been dead for a whole so who called.'
I Radio in for emt and back up. I Walk past the old lady and into the hallway. Noting the stairs I walked past to get here.
I do a quick scan of the first floor only to hear a bang from the second floor. I rush to the stairs and make my way up. "Police come out with your hands up!"
As I get to the top of the stairs I see three closed doors. The door to the bathroom opens seemingly for no reason. I cautiously head into the bathroom and check everything. Confused as I step out of the bathroom only for the door to close behind me.
"Yea fuck this." I immediately head out of the house and wait for backup and emt to arrive.
*pov mc*
As I see the police officer pulling up to the house I smile. 'That didn't take him long.'
As he gets to the porch and is about knock on the door I open it. 'Come on inside officer. Now what seems to be the problem?' I think jokingly as the officers face changes.
He draws his pistol and steps inside. "Police, if you can hear me make yourself known!" I frown at the loud volume.
'Dude you don't have to yell I'm right beside you.' Deciding that I don't want to deal with that. I levitate upwards through the floor back to the upstairs.
[Congratulations you-
'Yea yea' using my skill I stomp on the floor after waiting like a minute. I hear the officer come rushing upstairs.
As he gets to the top of the stairs. I hear him yell again about him being police. I just roll my eyes.
'I'm in the bathroom honey come join me.' I think as I open the bathroom door. As he gets into the bathroom to investigate I just check myself in the mirror like a teenage girl.
As he goes to leave the bathroom. 'Didn't even call me pretty one time. We're breaking up.' I slam the door behind him grinning the whole time.
'It's funny to scare the shit out of people.' I see him basically speed walking out of the house. 'Heh pussy.'
[Skill ghostly touch has leveled up x2]
[You have gained one believer]
'Nice and extra nice.' I pull up my stats to see how it affects me.

Okay so recognition is basically my exp. Wait I started with one exp how.
[Your mother in her coma like state still believes you are alive. If she were to wake up and learn of your death. You would lose the exp but the stat bonus would stay. Your brother does not count as he doesn't believe in ghosts]
'My mom still thinks I'm alive... so when or if she wakes up the first news she'll hear is my death or disappearance...'
