Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

I am safe.

Everything is fine…

It all… happened quickly, but it ended quickly as well.

Now… time to go back to normal.

But now, every time I see Emeraldine, it feels a bit weird.

I just have to bear with it.

After Partner came to pick me up, we moved on to have breakfast, and the daily routine of distributing food for everyone began.

Over time, the people began to also cook their own stuff if they felt hungry. My clones are always assessing the food storage we got, so whenever people feel hungry, they can go pick up food for their meals.

Of course, that doesn’t mean anyone can just go there and ask me for a slice of bread or something, but only when we are in the hours of eating, and that’s three different hours a day.

In the morning we eat breakfast, from 7 AM up to 9 AM, then lunch is from 2 PM up to 4 PM, and then Dinner at 7 PM up to 10 PM.

It is a pretty fair horary, and the people got used to it pretty quickly, so we usually make these big stews with the prey we hunted sometimes. We distributed it with bread and other things, and we had also begun making a salad. We also distribute fruits as you can’t live off of just stew and bread after all.

Today in the morning, there was pork stew with potatoes, and it was pretty refreshing. Even though I never felt actual hunger, it always feels nice to eat and fill my phantasmal stomach~

Come to think of it. I wonder how a ghost can eat. I’ve been eating for a while now… I know it becomes all mana over time, and there’s no bathroom time for me, but how does this happen?

Does my body have a stomach?

Hmm… Well, I guess that’s that.

I wonder if there are other cases of ghosts like me.

Well, Silvio and Francesco do eat too, so maybe all ghosts can potentially eat, but just never try it. Maybe because they’re too fixated on whatever is keeping them in the world of the living to care about something so leisurely as eating.

Ding!

Oi! Don’t bother me when I am having a meal!

System, what is this? Do you think it’s funny? You’ve done this multiple times already!

The System was as insightful as ever, telling me how everything happened… That doesn’t make it less ridiculous that it showed just when my internal monologue was talking about it!

Oh well… I might as well check this.

[Phantasmal Stomach: Lv1]

A Skill that can only be acquired after a non-corporeal phantasmal entity has eaten and digested large quantities of food. It allows for the rapid digestion of food into usable Mana and Aether energies, increasing their regeneration speed by +50% with each level while eating any sort of meal. It allows the ability to have a Phantasmal Stomach.

Huh… I see, so my Mana and Aether regeneration increases whenever I eat meals…

And then it allows me to have a Phantasmal Stomach? What is that? Can I get an explanation for this, at the very least?

No?

…Understandable, have a nice day.

The handsome-sounding voice of my beloved System was heard across my hearing senses. Whenever he speaks, I imagine a young-looking lad with a handsome face, gray hair, and a charming expressionless face…

Oi! I am supposedly praising your beautiful voice, don’t get mad with me. We are friends. And thanks for the info too! Now, can you tell me what Aether is? I know about Mana, but what’s Aether?

Eh?! Such a long explanation… but I kind of get it now… So that’s the true composition of a soul… So that’s how it is. I always thought it was just Mana, but it can’t really be that simple, can’t it?

Wow…
