....When Sir Benjamin appeared, he was now standing in front of the group of sullen people inside his mansion. Seeing him appear so suddenly, the seniors and juniors who were complaining suddenly choked on their own saliva. How come this man appeared and disappeared without warning?!They thought Sir Benjamin had left them for some 'urgent matters' so why he was here?Another brave junior asked, "Did you forget something, Sir?"Sir Benjamin thought about it. "Hmmm....I don't think so?""...."There was a moment of silence. A senior tested the waters, "Is your business done, Sir?"When he finished this question everyone looked at him like he asked something foolish.Sir Benjamin had only disappeared for ten minutes, what kind of business would he finish? Was his 'urgent matter' about taking a shit?Unexpectedly, the man nodded. "Yes. My business is done. So I am back."The grim reapers: "...." Everyone subconsciously stepped back. Did he really take a shit?Sir Benjamin smiled at th
A/n: This chapter is edited. **** [Kelly POV] Under the old apricot tree, I stood there anxiously. The weather is so good today. The afternoon sun in the clear blue sky was lovely and warm. The breeze swayed the green apricot leaves, creating beautiful dancing shades on the ground. There were couples walking in this park. The atmosphere was lovely and romantic. The summer was near its end and the fall was just around the corner. Some couples used this chance to hug and hold hands with their partner, everywhere I looked there were pink bubbles floating everywhere. I straightened my skirt as I waited. It wasn't too short, right? Although my uniform skirt was not too short or too long, this was my first time changing into other clothes so I am more conscious of it. This white dress was sleeveless and above knee length. I can see my slender and white legs. The cream-colored doll shoes I wore were new. It compliments my skin color and my dress well. When Jia learned that I would
We walked for a long time. We talked about the days we spent when we are not in each other sight.I don't know when Lucas become an existence that I always relied on, but it felt right to tell him everything I went through in the past months that I am not with him.When he was in a coma in both body and soul, I reported everything to him even my daily matters so perhaps I have formed a habit to tell him everything.We exchanged letters a few times, but it was not enough to tell him everything. I told him the grievances I have with Mr. Lin Ze and Marcus. How the two spied on me and tortured me daily. Lucas seemed curious about my stories but he seemed to be more interested in Marcus. Well, Marcus stayed beside me most of the time, so in all my stories, Marcus's name was there.Like my visits to the monastery, my discovery of the existence of shadow, the war between the Association and the Capital, everything on it has Marcus' contribution.Lucas narrowed his eyes, "That Marcus....he w
The amusement park was only a start. Since we are ghosts without a body that restrains us, we don't need to rest.We stayed the whole night until the amusement park closed off its lights and shut its gate. We leave the park with great satisfaction and fulfillment in our hearts."We are probably the first couple who has used every ride and booth in this park in one day. We could make it in the genius book of world record." Lucas said with a smile.I blushed shyly at the mention of 'couple' but I did not make it too noticeable. "If there is a genius book of world record for ghosts, then we could join in. But I think traveling around the globes instead would make it more fulfilling." I said excitedly."Some have tried that idea. But rumors said that the grim reapers' association in other countries was more ruthless than here. They would immediately surround ghosts from other countries. After all, if one has to travel by air and sea, they would be filled with a great amount of cold energ
Traversing the city in the night with Lucas was actually delightful and relaxing. I never knew that night could actually be so wonderful. I wished time would stop. I wish we could remain like this forever. Ever since I came into this world, the 'nighttime' in my dictionary was on the same meaning as dangerous. We only seek shelter momentarily to pass the night when nighttime comes. Thus, we never had a chance to stay in the city or have the luxury to observe the wonders at night. However, today was different. With Lucas, I don't need to care about the lingering demons or grim reapers. We are like on a date that only minds each other's presence. We never run out of things to talk about. Even though I don't have memories of the past, it did not stop me to tell interesting stories. Lucas would laugh at my poor humor and exaggerated narratives. Sometimes, he would just laugh out of nowhere even though what I am saying is not funny. His laughter was so contagious that I also laughed

It was like a bucket of cold water poured all over me waking me up from this beautiful dream. The thought that I was pushing back to the corner of my heart crept up, 'This wonderful moment would not last forever'. I clenched my fist. Was Lucas....saying goodbye? Was he saying that his fate would not be changed no matter what and he would end up being exterminated? Was he preparing me for that dreading separation? Suddenly....my fears crept up on me one by one. This would be our last....Our last date....Our last trip....Our last moment... I tried to not think about it because I don't think I am prepared to face it. All I want was to spend time with him, fulfilling his every wish. I am spending time with Lucas as if there was no tomorrow because of the unknown fate waiting before us. I don't know when would I lose him so I wanted to spend every moment with him. But
The reception area was lively as the newlywed couple and the guests partied in lively music. The old and young danced on the dance floor, swaying their bodies in the upbeat beat. Everyone was laughing merrily. The joyous atmosphere in the air was contagious that it dispelled my depressed feelings.Lucas' eyes lit up. He immediately dragged me to the dance floor.There was upbeat funk jazz music played that made even the old people dance. The guests and the newly married couple went to the center. Some were in groups laughing as they swayed together with the beat."You know how to dance?" I asked him."Not really. But we can imitate them." There was a vigorous old man who was actively dancing on the dance floor. Despite his old age, his dance moves were smooth and looked cool. Because he was so eye-catching, the guest around him halted and gave him space while surrounding him.The old man loves the attention. His moves become more savvy and the surrounding guest cheered on him.Lucas
Far away from where Kelly and Lucas was, a great contrast from their peaceful and romantic ambiance was the turbulent wave caused by the war.The Capital that had suffered from the third attack was currently in another meeting.Mr. Cassian, an ancient ghost with his head stitched to his neck looked at everyone in the room with a solemn gaze."We lost another core branch. If we let the Association do what they want, our core branches would be gone one by one. I think it's time for us 'Masters' to move.""The Great Devil hasn't shown up yet and you are telling us to make a move? We have plenty of ghosts who could serve as cannon fodders in this war. There's no need for us to personally move unless it is the Great Devil that has come." An ancient ghost with attached limbs that doesn't match his body spoke."Mr. Frank is right. We have gathered our people from other small branches for that reason. If the number is lacking then we could summon more." An ancient ghost wearing a mask seconde
