I now am on the surface in my corpse… its seems like I can now use skills like [visibility control] while possessing my corpse because of body link. Another thing is I can fly like in my ghost form well not so fast and all because I now have a body that has air resistance. But its still better then walking. But now that I look around me… It didn’t change anything since I was here last… Still no streets in sight… The forest that is divided by the gorge looks the same… the bear… Wait! The bear! I jumped up – I mean flew – it seems the bear came to end what it started! Not that it could because I can fly and all. Let’s check first…

Species: Demonic Bear
Level: 200

Titles: one of the 100 Strongest monsters of the Dasos¹ Forest, Hunter,
(¹Authors note: It is spoken [‘da:zɔs])

Oh… It seems I don’t get more information… Probably because its level is way above mine and it already noticed me… But the things I see is already enough that I know in close combat I wouldn’t stand a chance… But it seems it’s one of the 100 strongest monsters in this forest. It also seems that this forests name is “Dasos” … Anyway, let’s use ghost’s theft so I can get a few new stats and maybe some skills…
I took longer than I thought to kill it… it seems it had much HP… that also reflected in the amount of Vitality I got… Well I will look at my status for the time being

(²Like you probably already guessed this isn’t really “complete body control” but I can’t think of something better. Its pretty much a skill to control flesh, bones, muscles, etc. of the body. If you have a better name tell me in the comments)

Wow 11 level ups! And better stats! And 2 New skills! One is a species skill I probably got by levelling up and the other I probably stole from the bear.

[Ghost Memory Collection (low)]
This is a skill only possessed by ghosts. some ghosts get this skill when they are level 130. This skill allows the user to get memories from the dead either from corpses where the head is intact and not over 10 days old or from the souls of dead people. What the user can see depends on the level of this skill.
Low: Only memories from short before they died. Costs 40 MP
Middle: Only memories from short before they died and memories that burnt into their memories like a tragedy. Costs 60 MP
High: All memories that they remember. Costs 100 MP
Superhigh: All memories even if they don’t remember it anymore as long as it’s not completely gone. 150 MP
?: ?

I don’t think I can think of scenario where I could use this skill but maybe I will need it someday. Well at least it seems to be a somewhat rare ability because there stays “some ghosts” so not all will get it maybe there is a chance you get something different? Can’t change anything about it. Well next is the bodyhair control skill.

[Bodyhair Control]
This skill allows the user to control the hair of its body like it’s a muscle, This skill doesn’t work on hair smaller then 0.5 cm. With the use of MP its possible to harden and or form the hair or specific hairs. By using MP it is also possible to change the length of the hair. Normal hair moving: 30 MP per minute.

Yes I see this certainly would be pretty useful for an animal with a lot of hair. If I would have fought against it in close combat it would have just become a bearcupine³. Well I can’t really use it in this body unless is use the skill to let my Hair grow… I will think about it later…

To be continued in chapter 9...
