Power of Creation

Of course, you don’t really hesitate at all to help the ghost on to his next life. With the flick of a finger, he bursts into flames. He did try to kill you, so it’s not like this kind of response is completely unexpected. What if he had done the same thing to your four maids? You would have been slightly bothered before you inevitably brought them back to life with your respawn spell.

“How could I have been defeated so easily?” A ghostly cry sounds out as blue faerie fire wraps around him and sends him into the afterlife.

Well, that’s because you’re a dude. If you had been a woman, we might have had something to work with. In fact, considering that having lived here, this ghost likely knows the place better than you do, making a female ghost a part of your staff would have been great.

Wait. That’s right. That would be useful. You snap your fingers. No, you don’t stop the ghost from burning away into nothing, but you do extract his mind. Of course, you don’t want to absorb his mind into yours or anything, so the magic extracts the information and rewrites it into something more akin to a life story.

It ends up being a tomb nearly as tall as you. The human mind seems to be able to keep a lot of information. You use a spell to create a footnotes version of the book. It’s still as large as a textbook. Using a quick reading spell, you read through the book in about thirty seconds. That is a lot more work than you wanted to do. You’ll make one of the girls massage you tonight. Perhaps that task should go to Merida, except she can only do it with her chest.

That cheers you up a bit as you go through the information you just absorbed. It includes a schematic of the house as well as other things. It is definitely a massive mansion. The ghost you just eliminated likely dropped the cost, but it still would have been a house outside your price range normally.

“Ah, that’s unfortunate.”

The ghosts name is apparently Rhictor Rhysemen. The details get a little gory, but the main take away is that he wasn’t a nice man. That would be an understatement because it would be more accurate to call him what he was, a serial killer. That’s right, he used to kidnap any women who met his fancy, rape, murder and bury them in the cellar.

As if to make it even worse, he is a necromancer which is why he was still a ghost even after his sudden death by accidentally tripping and falling down the stairs. However, Rhictor has certain malevolent plans. He has actually sent a post- mortem will out to his brother. His brother is your typical haughty noble.

What his brother doesn’t know is that Rhictor kidnapped, raped, and murdered his wife. The brother has a young daughter too, and it seems like Uncle Rhictor has planned to lure the pair of them here, possess his brother to reobtain life, and then rape and murder his niece. As your brain processes this, you start to regret killing him so quickly. It would have been nice if he suffered a little more.

That’s what I get for being tired and a bit rushed.

“And what do we have here?”

You see another piece of the puzzle and give a start in surprise. Being a necromancer, Rhictor has actually kept the souls of all of his victims as a sort of trophy. Even in death, his ghost is torturing the souls of these forsaken women.

You start walking through the mansion with familiarity, now knowing every intimate nook and cranny using the ghost’s memory. As you see the place you’ve decided to settle down in, you consider everything that’s happened in the last week.

You were summoned to another world. You fucked the princess and the queen. You conquered a demon lord and made her your dependent. You went on dates, had sex, made a baby, defeated bandits, got stuck with some traps, became an adventurer, and bought a mansion!

There are now twelve girls outside waiting for you. Life is good. You’ll turn the dark history of this mansion around. You’ll make it a place of happiness for your girls. Your journey is just getting started!
