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
A/n: This chapter is edited. .... I froze. The cruel reality that I was putting aside suddenly hit me back hard. 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
In one of the hidden core branches of the Capital, Sir Reynold was currently passing a letter to an old lady. Sir Reynold was part of a reinforcement team in the second battle between the Association and the Capital. He survived that mass extermination. On the third attack, he performed well and managed to face a junior grim reaper head-on. Thus, he attracted the higher-ups' attention. They suddenly moved him into one of the carefully hidden core branches and were told to wait for further instruction. Sir Reynold was a wise and vigilant man. Ever since he had been transferred here he could tell that some shadow spies were watching his every move. Although he looked free on the outside, Sir Benjamin knew that he was currently detained. He doesn't know why the Capital was giving so much effort to detain a nobody like him and doing things secretively. But he suspected it was related to his good performance. He regretted it a bit. However, if he did not fight with all he could, he wou
After delivering the letters to the Neutral Alliances houses, Bite took a time to meet with Jia.When Jia came out from the school, she saw a familiar figure waiting at the side of the gate.Jia acknowledge that figure and continued to walk while the latter walked by her side."Boss, I think the business would be suspended for a while," Bite spoke.Jia's pause halted. "Is the war between Grim Reapers and that so-called Capital affecting you too?"Jia heard about the war that was happening on the dead's side from Kelly. However, Kelly did not elaborate things to her and she doesn't care much about it since it won't affect her and Kelly. But to think that it would affect her business. "Yes. The house I belong to is a part of the Capital, so, unfortunately, we must participate. However, things are quickly changing. My people and I need to relocate. To tell you the truth, my leader wanted to try to achieve Nirvana. I don't know if we will succeed or not. Because of this, I won't be seein
There was no sound inside the mansion. Old Noel had been here twice before. The last time he stayed, he had at least spent a week here. So he knew where to find the living room.But when he came, there was no Sir Benjamin. He waited for a while until he called him out."Sir Benjamin?"Silence.Old Noel waited a bit more. When almost an hour have passed, he finally could not hold it in and looked for Sir Benjamin at other places. But he couldn't find Sir Benjamin!What is this? Is this another way of torture? Hide and seek?"Sir Benjamin! Please don't play with me. You must have received the letters sent to you by the Association. I just came here to get a reply from you. Please have mercy on this junior!""....." There was still silence.Old Noel wanted to curse inside. No matter how powerful Sir Benjamin was, he was still too much to bully a junior like him!Woosh...Then suddenly he heard a sound coming from his left.It came from the left hallway. The place which submerged in darkn
