《Ghost Girl, Ghost Girl. She Gonna Take Your Soul!》Chapter 4: Ghost Powers!

Ghost Girl used her key to enter the other realm and followed the address on the card to Chala's house.
Really, this other realm looked no different from Earth, but no pollution and garbage around.
Ghost Girl walked around in city of tall buildings, filled with apartment complex. They looked very modern and clean.
She arrived at the address and knocked on the door.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
...
She knocked again until the it was opened.
Chala had dark bags under her eyes, if that was possible. Chala took a good look at Ghost Girl, who had a dejected look.
"Oh." Chala can guessed what happened. "Come right in."
Ghost Girl walked in and it looked like a dump. Cans of beer and trash were everywhere. Chala had just a tank top and underwear on. Ghost Girl can't help but stare, she's good looking, despite how dirty she is. And she had...marks on her neck.
Chala sweeped the garbage off her couch and patted a spot for Ghost Girl to seat on one side.
Then Chala laid down her head on the other side of the couch and placed her feet on Ghost Girl's lap.
"Okay, what happened?" Chala asked in a sluggish tone with her eyes closed.
Then Ghost Girl told everything that happened since Chala left her in the kitchen. The observing, planning, and killing. She left nothing out and asked why was she still here?
"Are you sure there was no worldly attachments?"
"No... Maybe movies and games I waited for release but that shouldn't qualified right?"
"If you had strong enough feelings or it was a goal of yours when alive, most likely. Even the mundane things can keep people from passing on. They miss the feeling of nature, worried about their family, or wanted to do something but never got to.

No particular friends you cared about? To say some words to them?"
"No."
"Then, I don't know what to tell ya. Maybe you just don't want to disappear."
Ghost Girl contemplated a bit, did she not want to disappear? She started to had mixed feelings about this... Things she wished she did or wanted to do...
Maybe she should wait for those movies and games to come out and see if she pass on... Or get 100 souls to move on.
Ghost Girl dug through her bag and showed 2 black pearls to Chala.
"Oh... These from your parents?"
Ghost Girl nodded.
"Damn, they're freaking black. Pretty evil aren't they?"
Ghost Girl shrugged.
"Okay, these are good. Remember those boards with the list powers and prices?"
Ghost Girl nodded.
Then Chala explained what's the meaning of the color and their conversion rate. These colored souls had to be turned in for CS, currency souls. It's like exchanging gold for paper money. She could exchanged them at the Soul Exchange near the store where she can get the powers.
Golden Souls (people who were kind and charitable) = 5 CS
Black Souls (people who harmed or taken a life of another with malicious intent) = 5 CS
Blue Souls (people who had no desire for material possessions or lack of it) = 3 CS
Grey Souls (people who were morally ambiguous) = 2 CS
White Souls (people with normal desires and normal life-styles, who never harm nor help another) = 1 CS
After listening, Ghost Girl thanked Chala and left to get some powers. Powers will help her out when killing, oooor scare people.
***
With 10 CS, Ghost Girl bought:
Levitation LV1 (2 CS): the power to rise or hover and move small objects (pots, toys, food, etc.) for 5 minutes.
Illusionist (5 CS): the power to deceive a mortal's eyes. For example: seeing objects that isn't there or seeing a person as someone else. (Can't fake noises, sounds, or voices)(Only works on one person per use)
Current CS: 3
"I should go to school and see what's up." Ghost Girl said.
Her next destinaton was her high school!

8 1186REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison. And that is what she is going for. Society frowned on different—especially her kind of different. Rule #4, "I wouldn’t bother the world as long as it didn't bother me." Unfortunately, the world bothered Erind's normal life. On the brink of death, an entity came offering powers to save her. Left with no other choice, she accepted it, changing into a new form—the first of many that'll help her survive this dangerous world. REND is a twist on the superpowered human genre combined with eldritch horror, but its main emphasis is character development and exploration, as it is mainly a psychological story. REND offers a unique reading experience. If you're looking for something different from the mainstream, then this story just might provide the experience you didn't know you were looking for. Cover is part of a wallpaper art commissioned from CristianAC. Chapter release every multiple of 5 days (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) of the month. 10 am Central/ 3pm GMT
8 249The Botched Summoning
People know of the Summoning Ritual: it brings the greatest of heroes in a new world to defeat the evil at the horizon! High and mighty adventurers, guardians of light, here to defend the oppressed humanity from their despicable foes. But what if the plea, the 'desperate' call for help, was met with contempt and disdain ? What would happen if the ritual fails? What horrid things could come out of a botched ritual? A man can personify the most feared beast known of man while being the sole hope of the kingdom. Emotions can cloud even gods judgement. Balance of power if a fragile thing, oaths and scorn can disturb it easily. This is the story of Fafnir as he has to survive his new life. But things are not always as they appear." i want to thank mejinzs for his gift of cover art, and both rouge and mejinzs for the proofreading support and rouge for the help with the abstract R15+ for violence... i guess and possible strong language... i guess (doing this as a better safe than sorry sort of deal.) now posting on my blogspot site as well (https://talesoftheforgottenslayer.wordpress.com/)
8 169Exhuman
If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse. Shunned and feared, these Exhumans are often violent, ever misunderstood, and always dangerous. In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched. But living on the other side, Athan begins to discover why Exhumans go bad, and begins the impossible task of becoming more than just his powers. Athan is dedicated to use his Exhumanity only for good, but is that enough to survive in a world where his very existence is a crime?
