Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"There's no resident in the town named Leo Ricafrente."

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but unfold a puzzled expression on his pale face.

Although he had already expected this since he truly didn't belong to the town, the thought that Sebastian and the group had forgotten this made him feel puzzled.

At least they should have given the guards some notice regarding his possible appearance.

Well, there's also the probability that the guard only started this kind of inspection today. However, based on the expression of the guard opposite him, the chances of that occurring were quite small.

"This... Can you call Sebastian, Roland, or at least Jake? They probably forgot to add my identity to the town."

Using the demon's unique capability, the Demon Whisper, Leo slowly speaks to the guard meters away from him.

Transforming a small amount of his soul power before fusing it to his vocal cords, allowing it to carry a strange temptation that would secretly drill toward the consciousness of the beings below his realm.

Making it harder to detect, as they would unconsciously and easily believe all of the words he said and uttered.

Of course, the usage of the skill was quite limited; if he uttered a word that would endanger the life of the victim, the victim's consciousness would start to struggle in order to get rid of the effects, waking them up in the process.

Although he could just utter the words to the guard in order to let him pass, Leo decided to avoid that notion. With the unknown capability of the book within the grasp of the guard, he wouldn't be surprised if they managed to track down his physique upon entering the town. Hence, making the situation more chaotic.

Hmm.

Feeling empty all of a sudden, the guard opposite Leo absent-mindedly nodded his head, turning his body toward the gate before hushedly speaking toward the guard nearby.

Soon, after a minute of conversation, the guard entered the gate before completely vanishing from Leo's sight.

...

Huff~

Soon, after waiting for at least 10 minutes.

The figures of Jake and Sebastian finally appeared in Leo's vision, hurriedly exiting the thick gate of the town as they rushed toward his direction upon seeing him.

Fixing the exquisite monocle on his left eye, Sebastian unfolds an embarrassed look on his face, scratching his head before apologizing to Leo.

"I apologize for that; we actually wanted to register your citizenship earlier, but we lack your basic information and appearance. Hence, the Book of Unforgotten couldn't create your character."

Hearing this, Leo nodded his head in understanding, caressing his chin as he tailed behind the two.

Soon, noticing the strangeness in Sebastian's words, Leo asked in curiosity.

"Book of Unforgotten?"

"Yes, it was actually an Epic+2 item that my old man gained upon slaying a Nascent Soul beast. It was capable of creating small books of lists... Other than that, its capability was only so-so."

Sebastian replied before entering the gate of the town. Heading toward the two-story tall building near the entrance of the gate before pointing at the counter.

"You can register your information first before we head to the place..."

***

Not long passed by, and after Leo filled in his basic information, respectively his name, age, and picture, the three of them then proceeded toward the north direction of the town.

Walking and chatted for almost 10 minutes as they arrived at a seemingly ordinary stone building.

Other than the chiseled wooden door and quite a good-looking sign above the building, Leo couldn't see anything worth mentioning in the building.

"Here we are; this is the only place that fits your description. Not only is the place not far from the gate of the town, but the owner of the building also died in the tragedy weeks ago. Hence, it has become unoccupied since then...

"Some people actually tried staying here, but for some unknown reasons, they hurriedly fled the next day."

Sebastian spoke with an uncomfortable expression pasted on his face, still feeling that Leo's request was quite strange.

Who would request a strange place just to build a potion shop and a clinic? Wouldn't it make sense if he requested some place with a good ambiance?

Furthermore, only a few people were passing by in this kind of place, to the point that you would only see 25-50 people passing by every hour.

"Sigh- Well, it's not my problem anyway; my only job is to heed Leo's request. Old man should need to give me some good items after this.'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing Sebastian, Leo absently nodded his head; his eyes never left the building, as he could faintly sense the negative aura it was exuding.

Other than that, he could also faintly feel a strange emotion bubbling within his being, an emotion that he couldn't explain nor experience in the past.

Unable to suppress the building curiosity within his being, Leo leisurely advanced, gripping the cold handle of the carved door before lightly pushing it.

Sure enough, as he had expected, the sight of old yet clean furniture being covered in damp energy appeared in his vision...

Making his brows furrow in the next second upon sensing the strange feeling within his being intensify.

"It's much larger than I expected."

Leo lightly mumbled under his breath as he caressed the empty L-shaped counter in the opposite direction of the door...

Unconsciously sniffing the cold air within before shifting his gaze toward the empty glass case on the cabinet beyond the counter.

"This place was much colder than yesterday..."

Lightly tapping the table on the left side of the room, Jake couldn't help but comment, feeling an inexplicable shiver running through his being upon sensing that the temperature of the building further decreased.

Although this temperature wouldn't affect his tempered physique, he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable due to the sudden changes in the temperature.

...

Soon, after they were done with their business, Sebastian and Jake bid their farewells to Leo. Exiting the building as their silhouette vanished in the corner of the street.

Huff~

"You can come out now."

Feeling that the presence of the two had finally vanished within his senses, Leo lightly turned his head toward the corner of the counter, taking a light breath before mumbling weakly.

With a glint in his eyes, he stared directly at the faint gray wisp that was slowly exiting the empty box beneath. Further lowering the temperature around as it unfolds its incorporeal body toward the room.

Wisp~ (Incoherent sound.)

Feeling the closeness between it and Leo, the wisp created an incoherent sound, akin to a shriek, that unconsciously made beings who accidentally heard it experience a slight headache in their heads.

"An incomplete ghost that was born due to the intense desire of the deceased... Furthermore, based on its color, it was about to dissipate in about a week."

Understanding that the ghost was bound to die if he didn't interfere, Leo leisurely stretched his hand toward the void, taking out a dark fruit within before tossing it toward the counter.

Waiting for the ghost to consume it, wanting to behold how the ghost would stabilize its soul.

Seemingly sensing that the fruit was beneficial to its existence, the gray wisp slowly descended within the atmosphere, coating the dark fruit as it slowly and visibly corroded under the unknown ability of the wisp.

Slowly, as the fruit began to lose its luster and spirituality, the color of the wisp began to deepen. Making it slightly more corporeal than before.

Although its soul was still far from stabilization, it wouldn't easily die in a month. Making Leo unfold a slight smile on his cold face before casting his soul scan toward it.

Ding!

...

"This is really unfair; this newly formed wisp actually had offensive skills!"

Seeing the character panel of the Wisp, Leo couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that the system really made his life a living hell.

Soon, after branding the soul of the gray wisp with the help of the system, making it unable to betray him for a long period of time, Leo lightly commanded it to hide within the room behind the counter.

Wisp~

Hearing this, the wisp excitedly creates a low, inexplicable shriek before phasing through the solid wall, making the temperature around the room revert to normal.

Finally feeling the serenity of the room, Leo began to take out the stacks of potions within his inventory, placing them toward the transparent glass behind the counter before beginning to clean the place.

Using his telekinetic ability in order to speed up his work.

Soon, seemingly hearing the chaotic noise on the other side of the room, the gray wisp curiously peeked its head through the solid wall.

Making it shriek in the next second upon beholding the objects within the room slowly drifting toward the atmosphere.
