The True Dragon Emperor

Chapter 19

{1st Person POV}

Rex: ''...........''

... Hey there, Rex here. I would say something witty to get the ball going, but currently I am a little occupied. Occupied with what you may ask? Well...

Have you ever seen one of those old ghost movies from the 80's or 90's? Movies about weird hauntings or bizarre afterlives? If you are wondering what the hell does that have to do with anything, well....

Ghost A: ''Oooo, San Ilias! My home from life!''

Ghost B: ''Even though my home is in the southwest continent, this town is good too!''

... For some weird reason the ghosts from the haunted mansion relocated to San Ilias, they did not pass on or whatever ghosts do when they don't need to make a ghost busters sequel. Instead they chose to settle down and 'haunt' San Ilias, currently I am watching hundreds of ghosts fly through walls from house to house.

To make things weirder, the ghosts could only be seen when they showed themselves, meaning that no one could see the countless spirits flying around besides me. It was as if the whole place had become part of a bad ghost comedy movie...

Alice: ''..........''

Surprisingly enough, out of everyone in town, only Alice seemed to be calm despite being able to see all the ghosts haunting this place... Or it could just be that her brain has entered a state of denial and actively refuses to process any and all information in regards to the ghosts...

Anyway, with this the incident at the haunted manor has been officially resolved!... Though given the fact that the ghosts spread into town, can it still be considered resolved?... Meh, I've done my part, the rest is someone else's problem.

Alice: ''...... We are leaving. That's an order''

Sheesh... Looks like Alice finally had enough, any moment longer and she might snap if her dead empty white eyes were any indication.

Regardless, that's two quests finished and a lot of people satisfied(?). It was time we moved on to the main objective... The Forest of Spirits...

{Timeskip}

Back on the road again, this time on our way to the main story. I don't know if is my gamer instincts telling me to do the side quests first but whatever, now we were moving things forward.

Half way towards our destination and evening began to approach, since there was no reason to rush, we set up camp for the night and proceeded with our usual camp actives. Those activities mainly included feeding Alice and telling her more stories from my world.

I wonder, if I keep telling stories like this, would I gain a story telling skill? It would be a little boring but not necessarily useless... speaking of skills.

[Abilities: Passive]

Indominable Existence, Immortal Existence, Blank, Absolute Magic Potential, Draconic Powers [+], Noble Lineage, Supernatural Physiology, Sword Mastery: Apprentice.

Not much has changed really, unsurprisingly since I barely do much in regards to skills. What I DID gain through all this sword training was unsurprisingly [Sword Mastery], looks like all of those training sessions were not for nothing after all!

On a more serious note, is truly an interesting experience... learning everything from scratch and developing through practice and effort. When I first got the power of destruction, I did not feel that challenged when it came to using it, it felt very... natural to use. Which was in part thanks to the memories I received from Rias.
