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

-----

"Mwuh? Mama?"

Nyx suddenly woke up, as I had left her resting over her bed, she slowly crawled outside the tent in all fours, finding her mother, me, swallowing a mountain of Magic Crystals.

"Huh? Ah…"

"Eh?"

We stared at each other for a while, it was very weird.

"I-I can explain! I am just trying to boost my soul scape!" I said.

"Bwuh… Tashty?" She wondered, looking at the Magic Crystal with new eyes.

"N-No! Wait, it is definitely not tasty!" I said.

Fuck! If Nyx suddenly somehow wants to eat them all, the pile will be gone in just a mere second! My daughter is just as gluttonous as her mother after all!

"Bwuh?"

Then Nyx tilted her head in confusion, without knowing what to do or say.

Honestly, she was such a cute little thing that I couldn't get mad at her for wanting to take a little bite…

But for now, these Magic Crystals are mine! I cannot allow her to waste them by eating them!

"I-I…."

Suddenly, Nyx's eyes shone bright red.

Oh no!

"I wan!" She said, suddenly rushing forward, her tiny wings flapped, helping her hover over the air!

"No! T-They're mine!"

I quickly jumped over the pile of Magic Crystals and spread out my body into a mass of phantasmal darkness, trying to swallow all the Magic Crystals.

However, if I had a literal black hole inside of me, why didn't I just ate them normally?

Well, well, there's a little problem with that!

The Black Hole might end up making the magic within them be destroyed altogether, so I don't want that.

And swallowing them all will be bad for my soul because they're very high-grade magic crystals, meaning that eating them all together will make my entire body blow up with too much Mana.

After all, these Magic Crystals are the crystallization of one hundred million MP! If I eat them all, my soul's gonna burst and even if I can heal from that, I'll lose all the magic power.

So I have to eat them one by one, slowly.

"Nom! Chomp!"

Nyx jumped over my phantasmal body as she began biting me, trying to get to the "main dish"!

"Nyx, baby, please wait a second! Waaaaait!"

Nyx continued chomping, but then suddenly stopped.

"Nyx… bad?" She asked out of the blue.

Oh? Did she learn that herself? It seems she's quite self-conscious of her actions!

"Yeah, you were being a bad girl, wait a bit and let your mother eat her crystals, okay baby?"

"Mwuh… oway…"

Nyx sighed, as she slowly crawled into the floor and sat down there, staring at me.

It felt as if her stare was glancing through my soul.

It felt as if she was saying: "Go ahead, eat."

I felt a strange pressure…

I-Is this the pressure of the aura of a Calamity-class being like she is?!

She gained like forty levels this night, so her power probably more than doubled.

Even her normal aura has become slightly… menacing, even when she means no harm.

Uwaah! I am just going to eat it all! Stop glaring at me, Nyx!

As I ate and ate more, I felt her glare even from behind!

It was as if… a gigantic black dragon red eyes were staring through my all.

And she was drooling at what I ate.

Yet she was restraining herself from not eating it, but still, her very desire materialized itself into this terrifying presence!

My daughter's mighty…

Gosh, what sort of tiny little monster have you created, Crystal?!

Nyx's biological mother, Crystal, must have had an amazing patience to deal with dragon children, they're really quite the handful.

After an hour of swallowing crystals, I had ended.

I sighed in relief, as I rested over the floor. Nyx quickly climbed over my back, chomping my shoulder.

"Mama… hungy…"

"I know you're hungry…"

Now… let's see my Soul Scape and watch how much it has improved!

I looked directly into the Soul Scape.

The place originally resembled a dark place, the sky was purple red, there was black grass growing over the arid land. It looked honestly quite depressing.

But now?!

Now it…

It looked the same?

No wait! There's new things.

There were small saplings growing from the ground.

They were pure black and had purple leaves.

And there were also red, purple, and black flowers…

Indeed, it barely changed, but it changed.

"I think it worked. A thousand A- Rank Magic Crystals did something to your soul by consuming them through placing them inside the Soul Scape!" Tyr mentioned.

"They did?! I don't really feel any different-"

Ding!

[Your Soul Scape has consumed a large quantity of high-quality Magic Power!]

[Your Soul Scape has developed further!]

[Your Soul Scape has developed [Withering Trees of Death] Lesser Spirit Treasure!]

[Your Soul Scape has developed [Red Flowers of Blood] Lesser Spirit Treasure!]

[Your Soul Scape has developed [Purple Flowers of Poison] Lesser Spirit Treasure!]

[Your Soul Scape has developed [Black Flowers of Darkness] Lesser Spirit Treasure!]

[You gained +100 Aether!]

[Your Soul is developing further; it has grown double as big!]

[Your Soul Scape's size has increased accordingly!]

[With each 1 point of Aether over 100, all stats increase by +1000 (invisible buff)]

Woah! There's a bunch of new stuff! Let's begin with the basics, apparently I gain +1000 stats with each point of Aether past 100! This means I already have a bonus of +10k to all stats?! Nice! Although the buff is invisible, so it doesn't show in the status as a whole…

And above all, it seems I got 1 Aether every 100 A- Rank Magic Crystals. I guess I can grind that, though A Rank monsters are super rare out there, I can get a guaranteed amount from this dungeon, and then later from the other I will conquer.

"Hey, what the heck are Spirit Treasures? Those things showed up out of the blue! Do they represent the things that grew inside my Soul Scape?"

"Spirit Treasures? Oh, so you've developed some!"

Tyr seemed to know something about this.
