Power of Creation

Chapter 52

Of course, I dont 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 me, so its not like this kind of response is completely unexpected. What if he had done the same thing to my four maids? I would have been slightly bothered before I inevitably brought them back to life with my 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, thats because youre 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 I do, making a female ghost a part of my staff would have been great.

Wait. Thats right. That would be useful. I snap my fingers. No, I dont stop the ghost from burning away into nothing, but I do extract his mind. Of course, I dont want to absorb his mind into mine or anything, so the magic extracts the information and rewrites it into something more akin to a life story.

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

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

Ah, thats unfortunate.

The ghosts name is apparently Rhictor Rhysemen. The details get a little gory, but the main take away is that he wasnt a nice man. That would be an understatement because it would be more accurate to call him what he was, a serial killer. Thats 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 was 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 doesnt 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 my brain processes this, I start to regret killing him so quickly. It would have been nice if he suffered a little more.

Thats what I get for being tired and a bit rushed.

And what do we have here?

I 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.I start walking through the mansion with familiarity, now knowing every intimate nook and cranny using the ghosts memory. As I see the place Ive decided to settle down in, I consider everything thats happened in the last week. I was summoned to another world. I fucked the princess and the queen. I conquered a demon lord and made her my dependent. I went on dates, had sex, made a baby, defeated bandits, got stuck with some traps, became an adventurer, and got a mansion!

There are now twelve girls outside waiting for me. Life is good. Ill turn the dark history of this mansion around. Ill make it a place of happiness for my girls. My journey is just getting started!

This is the end of Volume 1. Not very climactic... but what is when you're a demigod that can bend reality to your will. You can buy the volume here. However, note that this is in "2nd-person" and has a few differences from this volume. It includes a 2000 word+ bonus chapter which can be accessed as a $15+ member or purchased through the eBook ($1 and $5 members also receive free eBooks as part of their membership). 

Releases should speed up again once I start volume 2 until I decide to change something major again. I'll probably start Volume 2 next week.
