Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack

Chapter 28: Smoke Screen and Ghost Mirror and New Child

"Oh God! This is fantastic!" Smokey smiled. "You're putting all those things in that fire for me! YOu even brought me candy, dad!"

Smokey was really bad at reading situations, mostly because he needed glasses but any he tried to put on would fall off hsi face. But the situation was completely fine with Harvard. He gave him a lollipop and he floated over a large spell circle full of cheap store alternatives to the items he thought the Ultimate Cursemaster would use.

She told him she'd get Silver Stool Wool, but instead she got Bronze Stool Wool, which was 10 times cheaper! She ripped him off!

[Smokey's ceremony has started.]

[Nothing bad will happen if all the right ingredients have been used.]

"I've done this for years, you have nothing to worry about," The Curse Master cracked her knuckles and opened up a large tome. It had all her spells in it that she forgot over the years. "Ah, yes! Smoke Fiend Curse Removal Number 59,997 or is it 59,995?"

"They both work!" She smiled and held out her hands! "This will be fast!"

It was fast

Harvard expected it to be slow, but Smokey fell asleep after the first minute and after 5 minutes he started to evaporate. After 10 minutes, he'd disappeared and seemed to have vanished from existence. However, when he looked up a grey cloud had formed. It looked even larger than the original Smokey, except without the eyes and even larger teeth.

The teeth sort of seemed like a door, but not quite. It was more like a gate to a different planet! One where Smokey could be happy and live out his youth in peace!

"This is the most important part!" The Cursemaster Jaminalot floated in the air and took out a large hexing wand. Hexing wands were for cursemasters, but it was quite a rare class. Hence, most of them were very expensive and hard to find, but hers seemed completely made out of the finest gold his money could buy! "Lunastes! Hurestas! Murestas! Burestas! Correstas! Finito! Banito!"

Boom!

The smoke cloud above Harvard disappeared from the powerful spell cast by Cursemaster Jaminalot's wand and instantly burst in dozens of directions. Thousands of children seemed to be screaming inside of the smokey cloud before it spread rapidly in all directions.

The white windows of the Cursemaster's shop instantly got covered in the cloud of white smoke, and a customer that walked inside to check out the cheap antiques fainted and probably died.

Harvard gasped.

What a powerful spell!

[Ceremony complete!]

[Smokey has died as you know it!]

[An innocent bystander has been killed! She dropped a strange box!]

[New Quest Loading!]

###

[You've accidentally caused the death of the legendary assassin, Soft Woman!]

[She dropped a box called the Last Locket (legendary).]

[When you open it, a level 2 NPC will come running towards you and offer you a 2nd Class Quest!]

'Huh, still not as good as the other item I found, but what's up with her name? Soft Woman? How much of a legendary assassin can she be if she died by smoke?' Harvard turned around and saw a small boy standing behind him with only a pair of candy underwear on. 'Don't tell me! Did Smokey get replaced by a little child!"

"Wow, this is great! I can't float anymore, but I feel so strong! I feel like I can make anything I wan to explode, hahahaha!"

"I told you I'd get rid of the curse. I didn't say it wouldn't be replaced by an even worse curse," Cursemaster Jaminalot sighed and crossed her arms. "I really should have used spell 49995. I accidentally removed his curse and put it another body. His old body is over there."

[Two new abilities have been detected in Smokey's Corpse]

[Would you like to activate the Evolution Cage?]

'Yes!' Harvard at least had to get something out of this! However, wait, what was he going to do with the small child! A smoke mass was easier to take care of! It didn't eat, and was lighter than a feather! This thing required food and might eventually compete for resources! Ah!

He never had children because his girlfriend killed him before he could ask her to marry him, and she robbed a bank, so she probably went to jail after killing him or died in a gunfight. Needless to say, he didn't know how to take care of a child!

'At least I get two abilities out of it," Harvard walked over to Smokey's corpse and took it into the bathroom before putting it in the Evolution Cage.

Swoosh!

He flushed the toilet so they wouldn't hear the Evolution Cage doing its magic.

[SmokeScreen - You can create a mist of smoke that blinds everyone for 10 meters, excluding party members. Increases Agility by 1 percent]

[Ghost Mirror - lets you disappear into another Ghost Adventure's shadow for 1 minute]

'Wooh! I'm done with the bathroom' Harvard got out and walked over to Smokey. "Now, what were you saying earlier, sprout? You mind showing what you meant by you can make anything explode?'

###

Harvard dropped his jaw in shock in the park.

There had once been a tree, but there was no longer a tree. There had once been a small hill behind that tree, but it now had a hole in it. There had once been a Ghost Adventurer fighting in a dungeon behind that tree, but the boss died. Behind that, there was also another hole! How was Smokey allowed to exist! He was too strong!

"It's not bad right!" Smokey smiled and pointed up at the moon. "Want to see the range!"

"No, you can't ever use that skill again, Smokey! It's too dangerous!" Harvard gave him a shoulder massage. "Now, what do you want? What can I do to make you happy."

"Nothing, you already gave me a second chance," Smokey smiled. He had white teeth and still only had on his underwear. "You completed my Quest now! However, before I leave, can I have about 200,000,000 Lograms? Just to make sure I can buy all the candy I want?"

'Hmmm, 200,000,000 Lograms or world destruction. I choose to be robbed blind!' Harvard sighed and smiled at Smokey. "Sure, just remember to use your powers for good not evil. Only fire that attack if the world is in grave danger. Otherwise, just grow up. Live the childhood you missed! Once you're 18, maybe you can be my wingman?'

[You've offered 200,000,000 Lograms]

[Smokey has turned it down.]

'300,000,000 Lograms?'

"That's it!" Harvard sighed, and tried to trade him again. This time it actually got accepted.

"Thanks father," Smokey smiled. "I'll be watching in the shadows. Whenever you're in grave danger, I will come to the light! I will slaughter even innocents to clear your path! Now which way is the Central City Candy Shop?"

"That way," Harvard wiped a tear from his eye. "Buy-buy the most expensive chocolate you can son! Have a good time!

[Smokey has fled!]

[Quest completed!]

[Deliver Smokey to Central City]

[Reward: 150,000 experience (saved till second class), Smokey's Gloves (Level 30), Smokey's Father and Son Amulet (Contains your picture) (priceless).]

'Ugh, I'll miss that little guy! I hope the next time I see him, it's for a very good reason!'
