I Can Farm Attributes From Ghosts! Chapter 20
Advertisement
Today, the castle welcomed two rare guests.
Selina and Old Bu were his half-sister and his father in name!
At this moment, Old Bu and Selina were sizing up Brian as if they were looking at something rare.
"Cough, cough! Although handsome Brian is very charming, you don't have to make such a fuss!"
Brian coughed awkwardly at their stares.
On the way there, he had already thought of the reason why the two of them had come. It was probably because of that live stream.
Now, he had become half a public figure in Gro City. When he left school, a few fanatical fans chased after him to take photos. If he had not run so fast, his pants would have been ripped off.
He pulled them to the sofa and sat down.
Brian explained the whole story, confirming the existence of the water ghosts and the news that more demons would appear soon.
He did not say much about the System. He only vaguely mentioned that he had the ability to deal with demons and ghosts. He told them to be careful and to call him immediately if they encountered anything supernatural.
After hearing Brian's explanation, both of them fell silent.
Based on what Brian had said, they would have to be really careful from now on.
Most people would find it hard to accept such an unbelievable thing, but Old Bu and Selina had been through a lot, so they were able to digest it quickly.
There was a moment of silence.
Old Bu, who was drinking alcohol, nodded at Selina.
Selina said slowly.
"The old man and I have already asked someone to settle the issue with the officials. We will also try our best to publicize some of the information on the internet. As for the ghost matter that you mentioned…"
After a few seconds of silence, Selina said angrily, "You can do whatever you want. Call me if you need anything. I have some connections in the government department."

The current situation had already exceeded their expectations. They could not interfere even if they wanted to. They could only support them to the best of their abilities.
Unconditional support was the greatest sacrifice!
Brian, who had always been alone in his previous life, was moved. It was also the first time he felt what family was like.
…
"No matter what, whether you want to catch ghosts or save people, old man and I only have one request. We need to ensure our safety before doing these things."
"No problem, I'll complete the mission!" Brian smiled and nodded.
The two of them had come here mainly to find out what had happened. Now that they knew what had happened, and they could tell that Brian had his own thoughts, the two of them could not say anything else.
Selina picked up her backpack and left.
"That's all then! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Hehe! Precious son of mine, I'm leaving too. Remember to look for me if you can solve the problem with money. Our family doesn't lack money!"
According to Old Bu's famous saying, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
Brian let out a slow breath as he escorted them out the front door.
"Hehe! It feels good to have someone supporting you."
After the series of events that happened today, Brian had thought things through!
If he continued to delay like this, it would definitely not work. He had to make up his mind, because he did not have much time left.
Brian decisively took out his phone.
Beep beep beep!
"Hello, hello! This is the office of the Bluefields College. I am happy to serve you!"
"Hello! I'm a freshman, Brian. Please help me with the withdrawal procedures…"
Yes, after much consideration, he finally decided to drop out of school. As a young man who had transmigrated from Blue Planet, he had already learned many theories. There was no point in staying any longer. He might as well use his time to do something meaningful!

Blufields College's staff was efficient and soon they had all the necessary paperwork.
With a polite goodbye, Brian pocketed his phone with relief.
It was over! The beautiful university life that had yet to begin ended just like that!
However, he felt that it was a pity, but he did not feel that it was a pity, because there was already something that he needed to do more.
With a thought, Brian entered the ghost realm.
Brian first greeted the Mirror Ghost Lamborghini, then looked at the water ghosts in the dungeon. Seeing that they were all fine, Brian walked to his exclusive castle in the realm.
During this period of time, Brian had been in the ghost realm, constantly familiarizing himself with the use and function of the system.
When he reappeared in the real world, it was already a few days later.
After knowing that he had quit school, Jesse had come to look for him a few times. However, when he saw that there was no one in the castle, he thought that he had moved away. Gradually, he rarely came here anymore.
It was dusk. Brian had dinner.
An uninvited guest barged into the castle.
The black figure walked over slowly. Even though he had used all his strength to make a sound, it was still barely audible. He could only cling onto the castle's door and walk forward.
"Help!"
Bright red bloody handprints appeared on the walls that he passed by one by one. The red blood trickled down the walls and eventually formed red lines on the ground.
"Help! Mr. Brian… Mr. Brian… Save Miss!"
Hearing movement outside the front door, Brian frowned and pressed the switch.
As the heavy door slowly opened, the first thing that came into view was a face full of blood. The person who came was a man who did not look that old. His clothes had already been torn to shreds and stained with blood, but his face carried a resolute and iron-blooded aura.
It was hard enough to identify him by his attire, but Brian detected something in his sharp eyes.
This person's kung fu was not weak, but how could he be so seriously injured?
One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should have the heart to guard against others!
Brian did not immediately help. Instead, he immediately called the ambulance.
An astonishingly bright red line of blood spread from the gate to the castle.
He lowered his head to take a look.
They saw a man covered in blood struggling to crawl towards Brian's feet while mumbling something indistinctly!
"Mr… Mr Brian, Miss Celia is in danger. Please save her…"
Brian's bright eyes narrowed.
…
Ten minutes later!
A loud and familiar voice came from afar.
Brian signaled for the ambulance to enter the castle.
But now was not the time for him to relax. Now that the ambulance was here, he had to leave quickly.
"Sir, we need you to go to the hospital with the car. Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going, Sir?"
There was a rule for ambulances to have relatives and cars during the rescue process to prevent any accidents from happening.
But Brian had no time to explain. He took out a black document from the unconscious man and threw it on the stretcher!
"This is his identification. You can contact the officials to handle it!"
A car arrived and Brian shot out the front door like an arrow.
"What the f*ck! His family is injured and he still wants to race. Rich people really treat human lives as a joke!"
As they watched the car disappear into the night, the nurses cast looks of disdain at it.

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.
8 228The Reborn Runesmith
We have all read stories about the reincarnated or portaled earthling going to the fantasy world and gaining a cheat and super abilities. This isn't one of those. The hero or villian here is just a smart guy who only gets to choose a few things like what he is and then given the ability to have mana. He doesn't even get to choose what kind of mana he gets it could be fire,water,air, etc. This world is different than ours. Gunpowder, medicines, and other things will probably not work or be availible. Who is to say that the beings of this new world will even have the same internal anatomy. These are all things our MC will have to discover. Just like our world you can be born with great genetics but if you are a lazy and undriven person nothing will come of it. This is my first attempt to write. There WILL be mistakes. I am a mathmatician not an english major so be prepared for questionable grammer and spellings. One of these days if I enjoy doing this I will get me an editor who did english instead of math and science.

**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
