Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack

'I have always been too carefree about things,' Harvard thought while he entered Tricky's Final Serious Dungeon. 'Frankly, I think it's time I change things up. If I'm going to lead the battle against the Monsoon Kraken, I have to at least be able to handle three women simultaneously in battle!'

'I have to become a good commander that can command soldiers! After all, once I seal the Kraken's with Golden Seal, they'll only have a few seconds to destroy them! Time to get serious?"

"HAHAHAHAHA" Hot Yummy smiled, "Why are you biting my neck, Harvard? You're thinking so hard. It's almost like you're trying to change your character."

"We all need to change," Harvard's eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness before he jumped forward and slashed three Tricky's swordsman into pieces! "We all need to develop as characters! I'm telling you three, and all who are listening, that I will no longer be the same silly Harvard! I will dominate all who attack me!"

"You're going to get attacked from behind, Mr. Serious," Grinning Sword Master smiled before he ran up to a Tricky's swordsman and pulled out a massive dual wielding sword. The Tricky's Swordsman were fast silver metal warriors that were hard to kill. "Now take this! Piercing Hurricane!"

Grinning Sword Master hit Tricky's swordsman directly, but the next moment he tripped and his sword got stuck in that same Tricky's Swordsman armor. Harvard sighed and moved his hand three times. The Tricky's Swordsman fell and broke into three pieces.

[You've killed 15 / 100 Tricky's Swordman.]

[The other 85 will all attack you now! Prepare to die! If you can't kill them in 20 minutes, the door to the boss will seal and you will be stuck here for all eternity! Do you understand?! You're going to die if you can't kill 85 swordsman quick enough! You'll join the 156 corpses that remain here beneath the tiles!]

'Hmmm, I'm not going to lose here. None of these monsters are able to stop me, and I really am capable of being serious! I don't care what kind of reviews people leave! It's time for all these bastards to die!' Harvard stepped off his foot and burst forward while activating Ultimate Stealth, Double Stealth, and Ultimate Poison Blade. 'Nothing will get in my way! No one can stop the new Harvard I'm about to become!'

May Tape and Snow Lilly patiently waited in Central City.

The two of them together looked so beautiful that a customer to the candy shop fainted. He'd never seen such beautiful women, and seeing them he almost choked on a piece of candy.

They smiled and walked over to him, but something didn't seem right. A large group of men were waiting outside.

"May Tape! Run out the back door!" Snow Lilly's eyes suddenly turned serious. "I-I can't let them capture you! It's the Monsoon Kraken's army!

"There is no back door!" May Tape pulled out two daggers. "We can take them down together?"

May Tape and Snow Lilly looked at each other and gulped. Candy Kid and Great Styles were gone because of an attack in a nearby area, however, it never occured to them that it could have been a diversion.

Looking at Snow Lilly's beautiful white skin, May Tape's eyes sparkled. For some reason, Snow Lilly didn't always seem like a woman and it was sort of cute. Yet, now was not the time to just stare at her beautiful curves! It was time to do something!

'Harvard… He always comes through with a great skill. I-I'm just a pretty girl to him, but I can be so much more. I-I may have beautiful curves, and be fun to wrestle with, but I'm so much more!' May Tape grabbed Snow Lilly's hand. "Sister, for Harvard, we should go out there and fight them!"

"I-I came to visit in peace," A large explosion resounded in the back of the Candy Shop. Dasota, in her human form walked in with her arms akimbo. "I-I just want to eat with you once before the battle starts, May… Snow Lilly, would you like to come join us?"

"I'd hate to do that right now!" Snow Lilly pulled out her sword. "Not when our sworn enemy is right in front of us."

"Now isn't the time to practice acting, and I'll pay," Dasota grinned. "Shall we go to the Great White Fist Tavern?"

"If you really pay," Snow Lilly crossed her arms and grumbled. "I-I'll buy the most expensive menu item though." She pouted. "Are you sure?"

"My-my brother is getting crazy," Dasota shook her head in anguish. "I-I never intended for things to get so bad. Thousands of Ghost Adventurers are dying every day, and probably millions of bouldercrabs. Those poor creatures. They get birthed in the millions and never see their mothers."

It was true that bouldercrabs had hard lives, yet May Tape was genuinely surprised that Dasota seemed to be showing a sign of weakness. If she used all her wits, she might even be able to turn her to their side! Then it would be the Dragontail Kraken and their small army versus the Monsoon Kraken and his much larger army! It might be possible to win!

"I'm-I'm not going to buy the most expensive menu items just because I want to become allies with you. This is only because May Tape saved my mother," Dasota walked over and grabbed the two girls hands. "Now, remember, never kiss and tell okay?"

"I-I'm down to kiss!" Snow Lilly smiled before she leaned in and kissed Dasota on the lips. "What? Were you just joking?"

Harvard seemed to be really gaining in speed and strength.

He deactivated the Speed Curse which made him fly like a speeding bullet crashing into a train that got in his way. He jumped into the air in the large boss room while Tricky's Final Serious Commanding Boss laughed and patted its Allipanther on its head.

"You fools! Though you might be killing me fast, it's all over! My defense is about to sky rocket! Not even a pandragonessnake could kill me!'

"It's my time to shine," Harvard laughed. "Take this! 10 skill points into Gap Pierce! It's about time to show you who the real boss is!"
