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

Chapter 205



—–

Aether, an energy I just discovered I had, but that I innately always felt within me. It is apparently the pilar of the existence of a soul, and it is often referred to as the soul energy.

Every person has Aether within their soul. The stronger their soul grows, the more Aether they accumulate. It is said that those that have a lot of Aether can learn techniques named Auras, Domains, and more.

And I have learned them naturally, but I think that’s because I’ve lost my living physical body and have become a being of mostly Aether and Mana, so I am mostly different than others. Things come by easily for me in that regard, especially because by evolving, my Aether and Mana increase more.

Now that we got the explanations out of the way, it is time to move on to other interesting things within the new stuff I just got while eating pork stew…

[Gluttonous Eater: Lv1]

A Title Skill given to someone that constantly and gluttonously eats food without any need to do so, gorging in food when the body has no requirements for it. Fat people that have reached an overly obese state acquire this Title Skill naturally.

Grants the ability to consume and digest food at twice the speed, HP and MP regeneration is doubled while eating, and all stats increase by +10% when the stomach is full of food. However, you might feel a bit of nausea if you move with a full stomach…

What is this?! System, are you calling me fat!? I knew it! You were always against me, didn’t you?!

You know that it is one of the greatest taboos to call a woman fat! You know that it hurts! We know that already! I know I am fat! Don’t remind me…!

…Stop speaking nonsense. The description doesn’t describe you. You’re a unique exception to this because you eat without needing to, but not because you’re fat and you’re overeating, but because your ghost body does not have the necessity to eat.

I know… But still, it hurts, you know? I used to be a bit fatty in middle school and…

Ouch! Do you have to be so harsh with your beloved host?

Huh? What do you mean? Where do you even come from, then?

Then that’s not holding you hostage!

Ah… Well, whatever. Fine, say and think whatever you want. We are all free here. It’s free real state.

Anyways, this Title Skill, despite mocking me and calling me a fatass, is pretty good, as it comes with a nice effect that combines well with the Phantasmal Stomach Ability, so we are all good here. No weird side effects.

And I even get a bonus to my stats if I am filled with food, so this is even more incentive to eat. System, you’ve only made me want to eat more tasty food, the complete contrary to what you were trying to make me do…

Don’t lie to me! You’re fatphobic, aren’t you?

No!

Eh? Hey!

He’s gone…

Seriously?

I was so annoying that the System turned itself off.

“Maria…?”

Lucifer, at my side, looked at me with concern.

“Ehwa?!” I asked in surprise, almost dropping the spoon with soup out of my hands.

“Are you okay?” asked Emeraldine.

“Master… You’ve been standing there like a rock for a few minutes now…” said Partner.

“Are you ok, lady Maria?” asked Syllis.

“She got a few screws loose. I bet she sometimes spaces out or something. She’s that weird anyways.” Said Catarina.

“Catarina! How dare you call me like that! I might be crazy, a degenerate, a gluttonous fat woman, but I would never have a few screws loose!” I said.

“Oh, she’s back.” Laughed Silvio.

“Welcome back, Maria-sama.” Said Francesco.

“Were you thinking things through? I hope that’s it. I really hope you were not just spacing out…” said Lucifer.

He was concerned I would be actually spacing out.

“Ugh! No, do you think I am an idiot? I was just thinking things intensively and assessing a few things inside of my Skill Book. I had gotten a few new Skills… Well, I guess I can share them with you….” I said.

I quickly told them about what I got, and everyone suddenly looked at me with eyes wide open.

“Y-You’re certainly weird…” said Catarina.

“Oh my, I wonder if we can get those Skills if we eat a lot, Francesco!” said Silvio.

“Hm! Is it worth a try? Although it feels bad if we eat all the food that the people might need, so better not.” Said Francesco.

“You’re more than right. I actually don’t enjoy eating as much as Maria-sama…” said Silvio.

“Me neither, to be honest. Anything we eat ends up burning into charcoal anyways…” sighed Francesco.

I guess fire ghosts have it rough.

“So let me get this straight, you ate so much food to the point you acquired a Skill and a Title… about overeating?” asked Lucifer.

“Yes…” I said.

“Unbelievable…” he sighed.

“W-Why are you shocked over it?! You’re also an Undead. You’ll get that Skill eventually,” I said.

“Ah… Y-You’re right… I should stop eating food then. I don’t really have to-, Ah, but flesh is necessary for a zombie like me…” he sighed.

Well, he’s technically a reanimated corpse, so yeah, he’s quite the zombie. I suppose he needs brains and flesh from time to time.

“Heh, you can’t escape it,” I said.

“Oooh! I wonder if I can get it too…” said Partner.

“I-It is certainly an interesting skill…” said Emeraldine with a cute smile, although she was a bit surprised over how ridiculous it was.

“Anyways! We should go back to the main topic… the potions! Things should be already done, so we’ll begin sharing them with the rabbits.” I said.
