I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 4

"Ding! Beginner-level Ghost Deceit Spell. (The initial trust level is zero. As the host uses the spell to communicate with the ghost, it can gradually increase the trust level of the host.)"
At this moment.
The soft rustling sound of rubbing against each other was like the sound of countless silkworms crawling over one's head. The numbing feeling made one shudder.
From the corner of his eye, he saw something slowly crawling out of the mirror.
After obtaining the Ghost Deceit Spell, Brian was more assured.
He wanted to see what was on his head.
Brian suddenly looked up.
In the dim classroom, half of a black body peeked out from the mirror. The owner of the body had the same face as Brian. At this moment, he was smiling sinisterly at Brian, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.
They looked at each other in silence.
This was a Mirror Ghost? An imitation was indeed an imitation, it did not resemble the real thing at all.
Brian shook his head contemptuously.
Knowing that he was discovered, the Mirror Ghost had no intention of hiding and climbed out step by step.
Brian looked at the ghost face sincerely, his eyes filled with kindness. He went up and shook hands with him.
"Hello! How can I help you?"
'What? He said he was going to help me?'
'Am I hallucinating because I've been a ghost for too long?'
Just as the ghost was confused.
Brian caught his hand under his horrified gaze and yanked him out.
When he was done, Brian smiled at the Mirror Ghost, who seemed a little dizzy.
"Hey bro! It's no trouble at all. I'm Brian, what about you?"
The Mirror Ghost, who was initially smiling evilly, suddenly smiled strangely.
He answered subconsciously, "I'm a ghost, a Mirror Ghost!"
"I know, let me ask you, what's your name?"
"Coincidentally, I don't have anything else to do today. Let us brothers have a chat!"

Did I not make myself clear? Why did he not seem afraid at all?
The Mirror Ghost said seriously again, "Er… I'm really a ghost!"
"I know, but I'm asking your name now, friend!"
'What a coincidence. I was looking for a ghost.'
Brian chuckled.
His actions stunned the Mirror Ghost.
Seeing that it was effective, Brian did not give the Mirror Ghost any time to think, and immediately launched a fierce verbal attack.
"Hey friend! Have you remembered your name?"
"Lamborghini."
Brian's eyes lit up when he heard this name.
"Beep! System's Ghost Deceit Spell has taken effect. The Mirror Ghost is affected by the spell and its trust in the host has increased to 50%."
Holy shit, amazing!
If he could reach 50% so quickly, he would have to work harder to take him down within the time limit.
Brian had already researched the information about lying to ghosts. As long as he increased his trust level to 100% through talking, he could make the ghosts obey him and subdue him.
He was not far from success. Brian, go!
Brian looked at the cartoon digital watch on his wrist and decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Dear Lamborghini, don't be nervous. I just want to be friends with you. Please don't reject me!"
Brothers? Friends?
Make friends!
Is he not afraid that I am a ghost?
Brian's gentle gaze made Mirror Ghost feel as if he had met an old friend whom he had not met for a long time.
The other party pulled a stool for him to sit down and handed him a peeled apple. The two of them were like real friends.
Had the world changed, or were ghosts no longer popular?
Just like that.
Brian's words seemed to be full of magic power as he destroyed the Mirror Ghost's defense line step by step.
The dim and dilapidated classroom could not stop their enthusiasm.
For a moment, the man and the ghost were chatting away. Of course, it was mostly Brian who was talking. The Mirror Ghost was still stunned.

"Beep! System's Ghost Deceit Spell has taken effect. The Mirror Ghost is affected by the spell and its trust in the host has increased to 60%."
"Ding! There are still 20 minutes until the end of mission. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible or settle your funeral matters."
No, it was almost too late.
Looking at the digital watch in his hand and then at the gentle Mirror Ghost, Brian gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
"Lamborghini, you've suffered all these years. I have a good place to go. Do you want to take a look?"
The ghost's body trembled when he heard this.
He kept shaking his head, obviously not interested.
"Oh! Damn it, we're running out of time!"
Helpless, Brian could only continue searching for a breakthrough point from Lamborghini.
"Lamborghini, are you a student here?"
"Yes, yes, I took my last breath in this classroom."
"If that's the case, why are you in the mirror? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me and I might be able to help you."
Brian was anxious but said patiently.
He felt that simple communication was too slow to increase his trust level. With limited time, he could only try to take drastic measures.
If he really solved the Mirror Ghost's wish, he might be able to complete the mission successfully.
For the first time, he felt that his thoughts were so clear. He could not help but give himself a thumbs up.
Oh! Brian, you are a genius!
After some conversation, the origin of the Mirror Ghost, Lamborghini, gradually emerged.
It turned out that he was originally a student of Brussels. Because he did not have any special features for his looks, he was ridiculed or even attacked by his classmates. Sometimes, he was even bullied by other students.
He believed that it was because of his looks. In a fit of anger, he went for plastic surgery without telling his family. Later on, he died due to poor postoperative care. After he died, he became a mirror ghost due to his love for beauty…
As the saying goes, a good word warms three winters, a bad word hurts one's heart. Words are truly a weapon that kills without spilling blood.
Originally, Brian just listened quietly. As he listened, his feelings began to get complicated.
Sigh! What a disgusting world.
At this moment, he was deeply moved by this tragic story.
"Lamborghini, can I see your true appearance?"
The Mirror Ghost paused, hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded.
In the dim light.
An ordinary but very sunny face appeared. It was not considered handsome, but it was very pleasing to look at. At this moment, his sunny face was filled with sadness. It could be seen that the negative effects of those malicious words on him had yet to disappear.
At this moment, Brian and the bright but gloomy ghost looked at each other.
He said slowly.
"Lamborghini, my friend, I have to say that you are a bright and handsome young man. I like your looks!"
Look at what Brian said. That was human language.
The Mirror Ghost turned from a sad look to a warm smile.
"Thank you! My… my friend."
"Beep! System's Ghost Deceit Spell has taken effect. The Mirror Ghost is affected by the spell and its trust in the host has increased to 100%."
'Lying to a ghost? No, no, no. I mean it.'
Brian smiled and extended his hand to the Mirror Ghost.
The two of them held each other's hands tightly and a white light appeared. The Mirror Ghost smiled and disappeared.
Looking around, the empty room was dark as usual.
Brian was stunned for a few seconds before he pulled open the classroom door and walked out.

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...

Star Wars - Trials of the Sith
The Sith are harsh. They can be cruel. They may be insane. But they are always strong. The journey to that strength is through the fire and the fury of trials where there is no mercy shown. While being forged into a weapon of the Empire, one has to have the strength of will, toughness of mind and the hardness of body. If they succeed, then they may, one day, be known as a Lord of the SIth. This is the story of one such weapon. **Author's notes - I will be posting this on other sites as well such as SH, AO3 and others as I find them. **About this story: This was only intended to be a one off story that is connected my much larger Star Wars fanfic novels, so the first chapter was huge. I have been absolutely delighted to see such a positive response to this (On Scribble Hub) and have decided to continue Talo's story. I have several ideas about this and will be twining her story into the novels as I figure it out. I am very much a Pantser so I have no idea how this will play out. I hope you enjoy the ride as we explore these concepts.
