Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack - Chapter 44: Genie Snake

Two days later,

Harvard had mostly regained his vitality after fighting the Dragontail Kraken. His arms were no longer broken, nor his legs, and he didn’t need a wheelchair anymore at night after wrestling with Shea and May Tape.

He sighed and did a sweep of Village 100 for Snow Lilly to see if he could join her guild. Unfortunately, no matter where he looked, she had really disappeared. Not a single NPC or Ghost Adventurer in the entirety of village 100 had seen her.

‘She’s not in the woman’s bathroom.’ Harvard sighed and deactivated stalk.

[Stalk has reached level 3!]

[You can now stalk for longer without someone seeing you! Time increased to 5 minutes and 20 seconds!]

‘Not bad,’ Harvard laughed and walked into the men’s bathroom and washed his hands. For some reason, he felt eyes on the back of his skull and then noticed a pair of legs with stockings in one of the latrines. He decided to wait for a minute before the door to the green stall opened.

A woman came out and pulled up her skirt. Suddenly, she looked extremely embarrassed.

“Snow Lilly?” Harvard immediately stared in shock. “How? I didn’t know you were a man!”

“I’m not, but don’t tell anyone!” Snow Lilly instantly blushed and covered her beautiful face. “I-I used to be a man okay! Please! Please don’t tell anyone! I just ended up like this when I got here”

“Oh,” Harvard wiped off his hands and checked to make sure no one was listening. “That must be awkward. Did King Yama mess it up?”

“Yes, I think I insulted her,” Snow Lilly recalled being extremely upset at King Yama for not calling him for a 1000 years. He had once been a fairly high ranking noble, but she treated him like garbage no matter how much he pleaded for his turn to come. “They didn’t even bother to install a television when I was in the underworld, and I had to spend a 1000 years contemplating what to say to King Yama, but I’ve always had trouble saying the rights things at the right time. And then when I saw her I just exploded with rage, and now I’m a big busty woman with the prettiest face a woman can ask for, but all I want to do is be a man again and level up normally! How can you with these huge things! I mean! Look at these! They’re huge!”

Snow Lilly started rocking her cleavage and Harvard nodded his head in understanding.

“I see, well, it makes perfect sense why you’d want me in your guild. You just want someone that can understand what it’s like to be a man.”

“Really?” Snow Lilly said, “What do you mean? I just wanted to protect Central Territory. What else could I have wanted?” She looked at Harvard and slightly flapped her shirt. “However, ugh, the sweat is so bad! Sometimes, I just want to get smaller ones! Why are these so large!”

“I see.” Harvard looked up into Snow Lilly’s eyes and suddenly got serious. “Well, if I ever win in the 1500 planet competition. I’ll make sure to ask King Yama to turn you into a boy,” Harvard smiled and put his arm around Snow Lilly. “Now, like two brothers, shall we go and plan how to compete in the Dungeon Competition?”

“Yes!” Snow Lilly smiled and both of them walked out of the men’s bathroom. “Thank you so much for not ratting on me! It would be so bad if someone found out!”

[System Update: A legend has began to spread in your name!]

[Legend loading…]

[The Legend is Hamlord, the man who defeated the Dragontail Kraken, invaded the Menace Lord’s Tomb and completed an impossible quest to save May Tape, the woman he loved. Then after he dumped May Tape and took Snow Lilly into the men’s bathroom for 20 minutes ! People have begun to sing about you on the street in honor of these grand achievements, however, a few men from her guild might not be too happy about it!]

[+1 Agility]

“What’s wrong, Hammy? You don’t like your new nickname” Snow Lilly walked into his hotel room and tossed off her white jacket and jumped on the bed and slightly spread open her legs while she turned on the television. “You look troubled. Are you mad my guildmates don’t want to meet with you yet?”

“It’s nothing.” Harvard’s brow raised in relief. “I finally hit 750 Agility. I’m just irritated that people keep following us when we’re together! Don’t they know we’re just brothers hanging out!”

“Mind if I take a shower, Hammy?”

“Go ahead, Snowy” Harvard sighed and sat down at the Great Round Table by the High Quality Bed with 150 Durability. “I-I’m trying to figure out where to level up.”

Harvard had a map of the open Central Territory, and to say it was big was an understatement. There were roughly 2,000 areas with level 40 – 45 monsters, and 10,000 areas with level 30 – 40 monster. Each area was a few meters long, which meant Ten Central Territory, all ten Central Territories was actually much bigger than a normal continent on earth. It was at least 10,000 miles wide.

Unfortunately, the map was also incredibly small and he couldn’t read what types of monsters were at each destination! He had enough Lograms to hire an NPC to take him somewhere! Screw reading this map!

Boom!

Harvard heard a large crowd clapping their hands and looked outside at the sunny day and saw a crowd cheering for him and looking at his window. It’s almost like they really believed him and Snow Lilly had gotten together.

“You rock man!” One woman cheered with her boyfriend!

“Hope it’s good with Snowy, hahaha! They even have nicknames! Tell us about it after dude!”

Harvard closed the blue shades in the white room and then took a deep breath while May Tape and Shea walked into the room. They also learned about him joining Snow Lilly’s guild, but didn’t know that she and Harvard had gotten so close. However, Harvard was sure they were just brothers hanging out.

“Who’s singing in the bathroom?”

“Snowy,” Harvard smiled. “You got the information?”

“Yup, we’re going tomorrow to a level 45 territory to train. Will Snow’s Lilly’s Guild be coming?”

“Yup,” Harvard smiled and jumped on the bed. “Now, I need to go to sleep. Snowy! Feel free to stay in the other bed! May Tape and Shea will be with me!”

The next morning,

Harvard got up and took the Central City Train to a territory called Lost Incarnate Stronghold. Thousands of other guilds were starting to file into the Stronghold in preparation for the coming Dungeon Competition. However, Harvard couldn’t do that yet with his new guild.

He had to go on a solo quest real quick at the stop before the Lost Incarnate Stronghold. Dasota needed his help or something about the world was going to end. It seemed very important, but Harvard didn’t have time for this! He was finally first on the leaderboard!

[Leaderboards from All Central Territories are merging]

[You’re new leaderboard rank is 15 / 100,333,553,111]

‘Wow, that’s still not bad,’ Harvard thought the leaderboard already had all the territories, but he wasn’t going to complain about it. “Hmm, so if there are 100 billion people here in Central Continent, how many people did King Yama put in this one planet? Wouldn’t that mean there are trillions of competitors’

Harvard greatly underestimated the number and it was actually over 10 trillion Ghost Adventurers total. That meant that Harvard’s one in a billion heirloom quest was found by at least 100 people in just Central Continent alone and over 10,000 total in probably just planet Kart95! He felt like someone just slapped his pride about his accomplishments in the face!

“Wake up!” Dasota pushed Harvard on the back of Donkey. She was clutching him hard with her large mounds and seemed kind of scared. “There is a lot of genie snakes around here! I hate those things!”

“You-you are literally a one woman army,’ Harvard looked down and saw a small snake.

[Genie Snake]

[Level 31]

[Reputation: Harmless]

“I don’t get it? What are you afraid of?”

“My-my brother is around here and they remind me of him,’ Dasota slightly moaned with an “Ah!” when a snake fell from a nearby tree and onto Donkey’s head. “What is wrong with you! How are you a human being?”

Harvard sighed and opened up the Golden Quest given to him from Dasota. He shouldn’t have to be with her too much longer, he hoped. However, it did worry him that it had two stars next to the Quest Title rather than the normal one. Even his heirloom class promotion quest only had one star!

[Quest Window Loading]

[Loading Quest 1 / 3]

[Stop Dasota’s Brother’s Massacre by paying respects at his grave]

[Dasota’s brother has been dead for many years, but what is death but a vacation for some ghosts? He’s been just as alive as you have in many ways, but just waiting for the day his sister was defeated to return. Unlike his sister, there is no Virgin Pearl he values with the ashes of his mother hidden inside. He will just kill everyone and everything unless you stop him.]

[No further information can be given until you visit his grave.]

‘Wait, when did I get two more quests?’ Harvard tied donkey to a tree and looked up at a rather strange mountain top with only single grave made out of gold with silver chains around it that said keep away. “Dasota, can you tell me more about your brother?’

“Why? Why would I help you?” Dasota jumped up from a Genie Snake. “You-you brought me to this horrible place! How dare you! I forgot there was all these genie snakes!

[New Quest received: Defeat all the Genie Snakes.]

[Quest cannot be declined, or all quests given by Dasota will automatically be canceled.]

‘Ah! I hate that! This is the fifth time I had a mandatory quest in the last hour! AHHHH!’
