Power of Creation

Chapter 51

It's always good to bring a friend when you enter a haunted house, but since Chris turned out to be a girl, I had no choice but to go alone.. In fact, of all the girls, she frequently comes off as the most innocent and feminine, despite having formerly been boy. Aura is a strong matriarch, Ariel has degraded into a free love slut, Grimhilde is a cum guzzling addict, Bell is a lesbian pervert, the maids are uncouth cowards, and Millie is a childish and prideful monster.

Perhaps Kida could have helped me out, but it is certainly too late tonight to run back and get her. For the first time since I came to this world I find my harem lacking. There are still tons of girls that need to be added. The mature sister, the refined woman, the sportsy girl, just to name a few off the top of my head.

Fortunately, the mansion is quite accommodating. It appears to have almost twenty bedrooms, so it gives me plenty of room for expansion. The kitchen and dining room look to be large enough to accommodate a family of thirty or forty. There are five bathrooms, which will become very important as the female presence grows. Ill have to reserve one bathroom for myself and force the girls to share the other four.

Of course, I'm having these thoughts as I enter the mansion. The girls all wait out front anxiously as I head in to deal with the threat.  In the end, I end up progressing through the mansion alone. The baka maids managed to start a few lights in the main room. They are open torches, and I worry a bit that a fire could be started. I immediately start swapping them out with magical lightstones.I dont buy the stones, of course. I simply create them with magic.

I have no clue if other noble families have access to things like light stones. Well, the noble family that had previously lived in this house clearly didnt since there are numerous sconces along the walls. As I make my way around in my first official tour of the mansion, I drop a magical light ball into each sconce. As far as I know, the lights should last forever.

At some point, Ill need to swap some of them out with lights that can be switched or dimmed. Well, since they use the infinite resource of magic to light themselves anyway, its not like I cant keep the mansion lit all night.

Get Oooooout! My thoughts are interrupted by a low rubbly voice.

Ah so there is a ghost.

Of course, I expected there really is a ghost. If the baka maids had seriously been jumping at shadows and gotten me all worked up over nothing, the punishment game for the four of them would have made their previous experience look like foreplay.

Outside, those very baka maids suddenly get the shivers and hold each other closely, not quite understanding why they have a feeling as if they have just dodged an arrow.

Get Oooooooouuuut! the voice speaks again.

Ah, make me. I respond, attempting to goad the ghost on.

A second later something flies out of the darkness. Had I not tweaked my reaction time to superhuman levels shortly before coming here, I might not have been able to stop it. Instead, I casually reached up and catch the silver object. It is a knife that had been flying directly at my head. I dont have the hang of catching knives and actually caught it by the blade, but my hands are more or less cut proof given my high defense so I merely put the knife away into my inventory with a wave.

However, had I been a normal human, or even the me a few hours ago, that seriously could have killed me. This ghost is not playing around. Not only did they delay my homecoming, they actually tried to kill me too. This freaking ghost

Leave! Leave Now!

The voices tone doesnt seem to acknowledge their thwarted attempt to murder me. Perhaps the ghost doesnt care whether I live or die.

Another item flies out from the dark and I catch this one as well. This time it is an icicle. I drop the icicle and allow it to shatter on the floor.

This is starting to annoy me a bit. I have been walking around for ten minutes now and the ghost isnt showing himself. Instead, they are trying to attack me from the shadows, only throwing things from a far distance so I cant even get a look at them.

Fine, Ill just bring you to me.I create a spell to summon the nearby ghost and immediately activate it. A magical circle appears right in front of my feet which starts to glow. A moment later, I hear a screaming sound as light bursts from the circle. A form slowly appears in the center of the circle and it stares down at me with a hateful glare.

This is undoubtedly a ghost. It was certainly dead, transparent, and floating in the center of the room. Rather than a beautiful female ghost, it was a middle-aged man.

Damn my flags were off this time.
