Re: Player-Chapter 9: [Ghost Town Stories!]

Mirag Town.

To be fair, I still didn't know it had this name until I heard it here. It was far more famous by another name… Ghost Town.

During the Version 2.3, this town was added as one of the main parts of the update. Though it wasn't added as an expansion but rather as a [Class Quest!] with the new class [Saint of the Pure Witch Churches!]

To explain it better, the Version 2.0 had 5 new features.

-New areas over the starting one and access to the Main Kingdom.

-Three New Kingdoms. The Fairies, the Witches and the Elves.

-Second Part of the [Main Quest!]

-The First Legendary Weapon

-Teleportation Devices

The next minor updates were followed based on the events that happened and specific classes and wars took place each time the features were added, one of them being the [Saint of the Pure Witch Churches!] from the Witch Kingdom.

The quest was to go and purify the [Ghost Town!]. Find out all the remnants of the Curse Witch who resided here, and destroy every piece of her. Though it was just the beginning, as [Ghost Town] was just the first step of the quest.

There were 3 remnants of the Curse Witch Gamora in this place. The Mayor, the old lady at the corner and finally the receptionist of the Guild, Amelia.

"Amelia. Help this kid join the guild," Mira spoke to the clumsy blonde receptionist with long, curly hair. She wore a maid-like black-and-white uniform as she stood there, barely able to handle the male adventurers who were trying to flirt with her.

"Mira! Please help!" she cried for help as she looked at Mira, making Mira chuckle as she moved towards the adventurers.

"You guys! Don't you have work to do?" Mira spoke, making the adventurers turn at her. Their slightly arrogant expressions changed to fear as they laid eyes on Mira.

"Ah! Miss Mira… We were just… haha… going to leave…" one of them spoke, as the men crowded at the front desk left, finally leaving Amelia free.

Amelia then moved from the side, ran towards Mira as she hugged her tightly,"waaa! Mira! What could I ever do without you!!" she cried as she buried her face in Mira's bosom.

Mira patted Amelia,"yosh! Yosh! Don't cry now. You are grown up, aren't you?"

Amelia hummed before taking a step back. Her eyes looking at Mira in a daze, Mira too was observing her with a rather comforting gaze.

"Cough Cough!" I coughed hard, making them come out of a stupor. Only then Amelia turned to me, her face a bit flushed,"Ah! Sorry. Ahem… So, how may I help you, Mira?"

Amelia clumsily adjusted her spects before she looked at me properly. Mira, on the other hand, introduced me,

"This is…"

"Adam.," I added

"Yes. Adam. He is a distant relative of mine. Would you help him with the registration, Amelia?" Mira spoke as she looked at me.

Amelia, not suspecting anything, nodded before she moved back to the desk,"All right. Come here."

Following her, we reached the desk as she took out a slate and a crystal ball.

"Place your hands on the crystal ball to find the Magic Power. You can also find the attributes you are most affiliated with. Then fill the slate with the necessary information," she guided me as she looked at me.

'A crystal ball to measure the magic power, huh? How fantastical,'I mumbled before placing my hands on the crystal ball.

[10]

The number appeared on the crystal ball, making Amelia and Mira look at me with a rather surprised look.

"Is it too high?" I asked, wondering if my 'overflowing potential' was finally being shown to the world.

"Ahem. No… it's just… only newborns have that much. Some newborns might even have more than that…" Mira spoke with her eyes rather curiously fixed on me.

After a few seconds, the light split into 7 before it split into even more. This time surprising the girls for real.

"No wonder," Amelia spoke as she looked at me with rather pitiful eyes. Mira, who seemed to understand the situation, explained,

"You have a strange constitution. To put it simply, you have an equal affinity with almost all the elements if I am not wrong. Though because of that, you have almost negligible magic power. Truly miraculous, to be honest… "

Mira, too, had slight pity in her eyes.

Ignoring them, I went with the registration process, which asked me my name, magic power and a few other small things like Kingdom, Race and stuff. Writing them down, I gave it back to Amelia, who nodded after checking it once.

"I will be back in a moment," she spoke before moving inside the staff room behind her while I looked at the crystal ball.

'10 must be the MP. It should increase with intelligence and the all affinity should be because of me being a player,' I concluded before I felt a pat on my back.

"No need to feel dejected. Just because you have a low magic power doesn't mean you can't be an adventurer. Strength and physical battle prowess are also an option," She spoke as she showed me her biceps and smiled, trying to cheer me up. 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

I gave her a small smile as I observed her. I too had pity in my eyes… the girl she considered her friend… does she know that she is one of the most heinous criminals in this Kingdom? I wonder what really happened in this town. The user of the [Saint of the Pure Witch Church!] didn't provide any information other than a few basic names and locations.

'All I know is that the players used to come here finding the [Core of the Wraiths!]. An item used for making the [Wraith Potion!], which was famous in the Version 3.0 Dark Wars.'

"Here!" Amelia came out of the room with a small wooden plate, big enough to fit in my hands.

[Adventurer: Adam

Grade: F

Power Level: 10

Affinity: All!]

"You can choose either an F-Grade Quest or an E-Grade one. Maximum 2 Quests at once. Once you finish 10 E-Grade Quests, you can advance to the next Grade," she explained a few things about the know-how of the adventurers. Perhaps because she was familiar with Mira, she gave me a couple of extra tips and advice.

"Thank you," I bowed before I turned to the quest chart.

'Finally… let's increase my level,' I smiled as I could see myself taking the first step towards getting stronger.
