Capítulo 4: Finally Home...
...
Instantly after clicking the two new skills shown on the Tree Skill, the panel in front of Leo instantly changes and shows the description of the skills.
Ding!
[ Mist of Illusion (locked): Release a constant stream of fog in the surrounding area that obstructs the vision of beings within the area of effects.
Beings who inhale the fog for a set period of time would start hallucinating ( The effect depends on how high the soul power of the host is! )
Activation: 2 mana. An additional 0.1 mana would be consumed every second if the skill is still activated.
Cost: 25 horror points.
Note: The user could partially control the illusion based on what the user wants, but it would cost Mana! ]
Ding!
[ Jinx (locked): Staying in the same place/beings for some time would reduce their luck for a small amount.
Activation: Passive.
Cost: 25
Note: Staying for a longer period of time would greatly reduce the target's luck! ]
...
Leo's imaginary lips twitched upon seeing the description of the new two skills in the Skill Tree. A skill that could cast Illusion and a skill that brings bad luck.
"Great I'm indeed a ghost without combat abilities!
A ghost that is destined to be lonely!"
If Leo had legs, he would probably go to the corner right now, crying while hugging his legs. Alas, it is unfortunate for him.
With a heavy heart, Leo bought the two new skills from the system before checking the above of the two skills to see if there were some new skills available.
Unfortunately, this time, Leo needed to increase his level to level 2 In order to unlock the first skill from the third floor of the pyramid to purchase it.
Bored, Leo closed his system and again continued to roam around the silent mall, hoping to find someone to talk to.
But this time he would be careful enough not to scare them to death.
Activating his invisibility, Leo's whole body of smoke slowly turned transparent before completely disappearing inside the dark mall.
Leo upon entering invisible mode quickly passed through the solid wall beside him, resuming his haunting for any sign of life.
***
Time quickly passed by. Soon, a total of 5 days silently passed by when Leo woke up from the dilapidated park.
Life has been hard for Leo in the past few days of spending his time scanning and inspecting the surrounding area outside the mall.
Other than the small animals, mostly rats that he found. Leo failed to find any presence of humanoid beings in the surroundings of the mall.
Hahhh! Sighing deeply.
If not for the unexpected gains that he earned in the past few days he would probably turn crazy right now.
However, thinking about his encounter with the little creatures he met so far, Leo couldn't help but still feel depressed.
"Who would have thought that those little creatures are all weak-willed!"
"Even if I didn't do anything to them, they would immediately die or faint upon seeing me!"
"I even stayed for a while to wait for the fainted to awaken but only for them to die inexplicably.
Am I that Ugly and Unlucky?"
Crying inside his head, Leo opened his character panel with a heavy heart to see his gains from the past few days of his little interaction.

[ Horror points 2240 ]
...
Other than the increase in his stats, horror points, and level. Leo successfully learned/unlocked another skill from the Skill Tree upon upgrading to Level 2!
Moreover, the skill he learned is quite impressive. A skill that passively increased his soul power and strength by a good small amount!
[ Constricted Soul (Lvl 1): Increase the soul power by 2 and strength by 0.1 for every skill level.
Upgrade skill: 100 horror points.
Note: The first step towards every successful ghost. ]
Upon reading again the description of the skill, Leo's mood freshened up a little.
Although he found out that he could upgrade his skills by consuming his horror points. Leo decided not to upgrade them for the time being since it would be awkward for him if he spent all his horror points upgrading all of his current skills but was unable to unlock the further skills in the skill tree due to the lack of horror points.
Sighing deeply, since he could no longer increase his horror points in this dilapidated place Leo decided to implement his plan.
Today, since he couldn't find anyone here in the mall and park Leo decided to move to another place to continue his journey to find a human living being!
With a last and long single glance at the dilapidated park, Leo turned his head toward the north and started to embark on his new journey.
...
Laguna is a big province in the Philippines that covers a total land area of 1,900 Km² and had 30 cities under it before the apocalypse hit the Blue Planet... With more than tens of millions of residents living here before.
As for now, Although Leo didn't estimate the distance he already passed by, he was sure that the place seemed much larger than before!
"Wierd, did the land expand? Or did the Earth expand?"
Confused by the increase in distance, Leo continues his journey. On the way, he would often stop for a while to sightsee the surroundings before again continuing on his adventure.
After an unknown time of him traversing the land, Leo finally stops in front of an old one-story house in front of him with mixed emotions.
Memories upon memories flash inside his head as he gazes at the ordinary house in front of him with a heavy heart.
Sigh...
Sighing deeply, Leo mumbled in a weak and shaky voice, "How long it has been? I... am finally home..."
Leo said in a teary voice as he passed through the door in front of him in silence.
Unknown to him, meters away from him, a humanoid shadow silently watches everything that transpired... Before again slipping towards the building on its back.
