Ayakashi Ghost Guild Game Novels & Stories

In the moonlight, a woman in a white lace dress was kneeling on the stone steps of the chapel, her face buried in her hands, her shoulders trembling. She had no feet. Below her dress, there was only a swirling black mist. "I see her." Lorenzo let out a low whistle. "Two years ago, Marco put her in the ground right there. Her ashes are buried under the rose bushes behind the chapel." I didn't stop, walking straight toward the chapel. Giovanni froze behind me but didn't dare to call out. As I reached the bottom of the steps, the female ghost's head snapped up. She lunged at me, her face a sickly pale green, her eye sockets empty black pits.

“Not him.” I forced my breath steady and spoke like I meant it. “RELEASE.” Ash surged, black and thick, slamming into the circle lines around Dax. The glow dimmed, resisting.

25 / 47 Kayo pockets one shard “for interest.” It still ends up in my bloodstone five seconds later. Team 4 – Superior Bathhouse Cellar (Al, Frankie, and the ghost mob) Ghosts can’t be reflected.

"A-Class Instance: 'Apocalypse Academy' initialized. Five new players randomly selected. Commencement in thirty minutes." On the muted TV screen below it, a news anchor’s face was grim. "…confirmed. The legendary player known as Gale-001 has been declared deceased within the S-Class Instance 'City of Mists.' The Crescent Guild reports her entire inventory of Artifacts is missing. Sources are reliable."

Only the scooter at my side—reborn, glowing gold—and the shiny new title and perks on my HUD proved it wasn't a dream. From then on, the game had one unbreakable rule. No one knew what really happened in the Abyss of Mist. All they knew was Nightblade and his crew? Gone. Leaderboards wiped. Like they never existed. Top guilds burned fortunes chasing a single shaky prophecy: "Thou shalt not interrupt God's Tea Break." And that was enough. Word spread fast. You could fight an S-rank boss.
