Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack

Harvard waited for a few hours to receive a letter back from Snow Lilly, but she seemed to not get the hint.

He remained seated on the Basic Chair made by the Insane Underwater Bandit King, and drank his last glass of green gunk. It was quite good, and increased his vitality. Though it didn't taste the best, it was a lot better than drinking the blood of innocents. That was a special drink that went along with a bloody mary. He took a pause and looked up above and noticed the lights had gone out.

When they were back on, a man had appeared on his right side with something wrapped around his back. If he didn't know any better, this definitely had to be the Insane Underwater Bandit King.

"Hi, how's the chair?"

"High quality. I love it." Harvard coughed. "Whomever made it is really special."

[Benevolence + 50]

Harvard gasped at the benevolence and cleared his throat. It was finally his lucky day! Finally something good was about to happen. ���Anyways, can you tell me about this secret passage. What's the story of these green peeps?"

"Hoho, you want to know? Unfortunately, I'm afraid you have been marked by the Insane Underwater Bandit King! You only have 2 hours until you die!"

"What?" Harvard shook his head. "That can't be true. I feel fine."

[Curse on your body identified.]

[Insane Leaf Curse]

[In three hours, you will permanently turn into a green monster, and be forced to live in the secret passage. Uncover the answer to the Insane Leaf Curse in three hours or you'll forever be sealed in the darkness.]

'Ugh, so annoying, but I have the golden seal.'

[The Golden Seal is not high enough level to unseal this curse! Please level to level 5 in order to deal with this curse!]

'No! It's only level 2! I'm doomed!" Harvard pulled at his black hair and took an entire chunk out by accident. "Please! Please tell me you know how to fix it."

"There is one thing you can do," The mysterious man that sat down next to Harvard had on a black eyepatch with a striped pirate like shirt and a grey goatee. He was clearly an underwater pirate! This man had to be the insane underwater bandit king. "You just got to complete three quests for me, and I guarantee you that the curse will leave you alone for at least a day!"

###

Harvard was sure that patched eye man had to be the underwater bandit king.

He couldn't leave the secret passage, and he wanted Harvard to get wood from Central City's High Quality Wood Stack Shop. Luckily, since he was a noble they gave him a discount.

[You've acquired 10 stacks of pure life wood]

[You've unlocked the skill, pick ax!]

[You will now do 5 percent more damage when trying to cut down a tree! Timber!]

[The curse has been extended by 5 hours!]

'It-it took me 3 hours to get here!' Harvard shook his head. "Damn it! I'm not doing anymore of these quests! I can just go see the cursemaster about this! I'm sure Cursemaster Jaminalot can remove it!"

###

Jaminalot's shop in Central City.

The same lady that had saved Smokey from being a cloud and turned him into Candy Kid seemed kind of depressed. She was one of the only people that defended Hamlord in their annual NPC meeting. Unfortunately, all the other NPCs were determined to kill Harvard in an attempt to pacify the Monsoon Kraken. Since most high level NPCs could never leave their city, they'd be forced to live underwater even if they could kill the Kraken if he approached! Obviously, he'd never approach anyone high level, and they'd have to live under the sea! It would be extremely depressing if they had to do that!

"Excuse me?" Hamlord used Morph because he wasn't an idiot. There were hundreds of signs that either mocked him or talked about how to remove his head. He very much liked his head! Luckily, he was able to imitate Count Silvester pretty well. A white haired man walked into Jaminalot's shop and walked up to the register.

"Excuse me, can you remove the Insane Leaf Curse?"

"No one can remove that curse." Jaminalot shook her head. "No Ghost Adventurer cares enough about the Insane Leaf Villagers to bother to defeat the boss that has the ingredient I need. I heard from a friend that the Insane Underwater Bandit King is cursing Ghost Adventurers in order to get them to fight the Underwater Leaf Toad. However, I doubt a single one will bother defeating it in order to acquire the Green Leaf Toad Serum needed to remove the curse.."

"If you bring me that, I promise I can cure the Insane Leaf Curse and all those poor people can finally leave the secret passage. Hmph, and that name is a misnomer! It's really just a damn passage! There's nothing secret about it!"

Jaminalot turned around and saw the white haired man was gone. At the same time she smiled.

"Good luck, Hamlord. Maybe if you save the Insane Leaf Villagers you'll be able to find out the secret to defeating the Monsoon Kraken. I have a feeling all you'll need to defeat him, you'll find when you gain the approval of the Insane Underwater Bandit King."

"He's even more powerful than the leader of the Dark Guild! Hahaha! If you get his approval, you'll have the ultimate third class at your finger tips!"
