250 The Ghost 2 (2/2)

Once upon a time, as a simple and sometimes hopeless romantic that every girl was, she dreamed of being a beautiful princess loved and pampered by a rich, powerful, and handsome prince.

The perfect world was only something that an unknown being had tweaked from her own childish, stupid wishes and desires.

And indeed, this was the case.

The illusion made by an incorporeal being was naturally stronger than that of a full-fledged host.

But since the ghost was not as malicious as Gio had thought, it didn't use its natural advantage by entrapping her in a cycle of nightmares.

In fact, it was kind enough to at least send Wendy in her ideal dream, exhausting its limited fund to make it very realistic and life-like.

It probably felt apologetic for having to steal her body, but was also resolute enough to continue with the act.

Sadly, when it was very close to achieving its goal, Gio appeared.

Even though the man only threatened it with words and did not do anything further, his mention of a Level 9 host was enough to terrify the ghostly being, and no, it was not due to being reminded by the system of anything.

It was an inherent fear that all hosts had when it comes to anything related to a Level 9, especially those from the first hundred like it who had wealth of knowledge and experience than most.

The half-host felt wronged.

But since it was nowhere strong to take on a monster like that, it didn't dare bet that Gio was only bluffing. It hadn't wiped out those that made it leave the world earlier than it had expected!

The unwillingness to vanish just like that made it choose to compromise the only suitable body that it found after being bound to that location for so long.

However, before leaving, since it felt very resentful of Gio, it sent another illusion inside Wendy's subconscious.

This time, it was still not a nightmare or anything gruesome.

But never-ending darkness and emptiness where a soul would sink endlessly and not hear, see, feel, or sense anything.

It was a place where people could easily fell into self-doubt.

If they got trapped there for so long, without even a single light to spark the slightest hope in their hearts, they would drown in the darkness, questioning

'Who am I?'

'Am I alive?'

'Are my memories true?'

'Did I really live?'

The restlessness and hopelessness would lead them to doubt even their existence. Until they eventually lose themselves.

When compared to this, maybe falling into a never-ending nightmare would be a better choice.

At least there, a person would have a higher chance of remembering that they were still alive... and were definitely existing...
