"Oh yeah I was right all along I'm alive again" a voice suddenly sounded in Scarlett's mind space.

Surprised, Scarlett raised her head to see who it was but what she saw was a ghost dancing in slow motion. It was a male ghost that looked pretty young and maybe because of his funny dancing, she did not even feel scared.

"Who are you and how did you come inside me" Scarlett failed to notice that her question was a bit weird but the ghost caught it and gave her a weird expression.

"Wow how can a young girl like you say that with a straight face even I would feel embarrassed" the ghost clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Scarlett's lips twitched, she was confused what exactly did she say that was embarrassing.

"Uh you guys are so disgusting, anyway why are you here?" another ghost appeared startling Scarlett and the first ghost.

"I should be asking you that" the first ghost said with a raised brow and folded arms.

Scarlett was getting confused, three more ghosts appeared and she wondered how they were able to access her mind space in the first place. Something was wrong somewhere there was no way her mind space was that vulnerable to allow the intrusion of other.

Were they really ghosts or was there something else going on?

She became paranoid after the accident, it was one of the scars it left on her. In a single day she became an orphan loosing her parents and her little brother how she survived was a mystery to her but she was never the same afterwards.

The thought of facing the world alone left her in despair, she locked herself in her mind space and even though she knew she couldn't hide forever, it was the best option she could think off.

The five ghost watched on as Scarlett thought with her hand holding her chin.

"Um are you okay?" the first ghost broke the silence that way lingering.

Scarlett got herself back and shook her head.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a question, are you ghosts?" the five gave her a weird.

"No we're not ghosts we're reincarnated ghost" at the first ghost's reply Scarlett's mouth hung open and not just her all the other ghosts had weird look on their faces.

"What's the difference?" Scarlett asked the question that was in their minds.

"..."

Scarlett nearly facepalmed at the ghost, she decided to ignore him but he spoke again.

"My name is Scott" after he introduced himself the others followed. He looked 18 or 19 with short black hair

"I'm Angelica" the second said. She looked 22 and had a long brown wavy hair reaching half way down her back.

"Mary" the third said. She looked 21 or 22 with blonde hair and glasses.

"Druce" the fourth introduced. He looked to be in his last 20s and hard dark hair like Scott but longer.

"Aviva" the fifth said with a monotonic tone. She looked 18 with long dark hair and big eyes, bigger than usual.

"Scarlett" Scarlett introduced herself though she didn't feel comfortable talking to others in her mind space she also felt conscious of her hair colour which was red but since they didn't comment she left it at that.

"Why are you in your mind space anyway?" Angelica asked and the others turned to Scarlett looking curious as well.

"I'm mourning" Scarlett explained sadly.

"Tch you're dead what's the big deal there's no need to mourn yourself, or don't tell me you such a narcissist?"

"Are you just trying to be funny or are you just plain stupid?" Angelica questioned Scott.

"You're stupid" Scott fired back and then they started quarreling while Scarlett slipped away moving to the other 'reincarnated ghosts'

"How do you know you've been reincarnated and how does this reincarnation work?" Scarlett asked Mary, she carried a nerdy vibe with the glasses on her face, maybe she died with them Scarlett thought.

"Well in what I've read in light novels, when a soul is reincarnated it is either in it's original body traveling back in time or in a completely knew body where a soul no longer resides leaving just its memories"

"Well if what you're saying is true then why have you all been reincarnated inside an already occupied body and why together?" Scarlett curiously asked.

"That I cannot answer" Mary shook her head.

Scarlett thought hard but couldn't figure out anything. Just then she heard a beep. They all heard it and turned in the direction of the sound.

A blue translucent screen appeared in midair letters appeared on the screen which was being read out by a robotic voice.

[Beep]

He was dropping his condolences and at the same time warning her not to disrupt his class.Scarlett nodded, by this time she had already taken back control of her body."You were so cool back there, where did you learn to make a comeback like that?" Maple whispered, she was staring at Scarlett with stars in her eyes.Scarlett couldn't tell her the truth nor could she leave her hanging, so she just evaded the question."Well one learn those kinds of stuff after leaving in Deep D their entire life"Maple was seriously considering moving when Scarlett flicked her forehead."Don't even think about it, you would definitely not fit in" Scarlett knew Maple well enough to know what the girl was thinking.Unlike other people, Maple was pretty simple minded and straight forward.

    "Its something I just said without thinking who knew it would actually make sense, haha" Scarlett awkwardly chuckled."Yeah that lie was awful yesh" Scott appeared shaking his head.Scarlett just glared at him not saying anything, she wouldn't be able to explain whom she was talking to."Scarlett?" Maple called seeing Scarlett staring into void."You okay?" she looked a bit worried wondering if it was her fault."Yeah I'm fine, sorry I'm just not myself today" Scarlett muttered. Scott was driving her crazy with the annoying faces he was making."Its okay I understand, I knew you wouldn't have gotten through it that easily. You were just pretending to be fine so I wouldn't worry, I understand everything, you didn't have to do this" Maple smiled placing her hand on Scarlett's shoulder.Scarlett blinked, amazed at how Maple misunderstood the whole thing.

    There was no exchange of words, James just lunged forward at full speed throwing out a punch.Scarlett was stunned for a second but quickly gathered her thought and dodger the punch, but it was already in front of her. She leaned to the side missing the punch by a hair's width. After successfully dodging, she increased the distance between them.She cleared her mind off unnecessary thoughts and focused solely on her opponent. He was fast, faster than her by a large margin, she knew she barely dogded the punch just now.'What do I have, I'm not as fast as him, running away will do me no good...think'James left her no time to think, he attacked again this time sending out a kick. Scarlett this time did not dodge and instead stretched out her hand wanting to catch the kick. She was trying to determine if he also had more strength or if she could contend with him in that aspect.The kick came and the impact made her feet slide back a bit but in all she achieved her purpose.

    Two hours later, Wallace regained consciousness with absolutely no recollection of himself, he was completely blank."Let's begin separation and then we'll call for the young master" Dr. Link said to the other men in white coats.Wallace was then moved to a circular table where his code would be temporarily removed. Things were done carefully this time as they made him unconscious again.Several minutes later, a floating disk with a white manacore sitting on top flew towards the glass pod in the center of the room and ever so gently placed the manacore inside it.After the manacore was placed in, other floating disks started appearing, each carrying a purple or red mana core and then flying towards the opening of the pod.What happened then was a feast for the eyes. As the other manacores entered the pod, each released a hue that was absorbed by the white core.Thirty minutes later, the white core was brought out again, still retaining its color even after absorbing all those differen

    Deep in an underground facility, a young man stared at the reports in his hand and smiled. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart."You have finally found a way to wipe his memory?""Yes, young master and you should probably continue reading the report" the man standing beside him said.The young man being referred to as young master nodded and continued reading until his eyes widened. "White? How is that possible?""I had them redo the test a couple of times but it kept giving the same results," the assistant said."A white mana core? It sounds unbelievable, the highest so far is gold and Aviva is the only one we have captured with a golden core, how can there be white all of a sudden" the young man lost his composure.While the world was still in the dark about mana core and other related subjects, he had been studying them for years."I was shocked as well, but isn't this a good thing? We have someone stronger than Aviva ever was" the assistant said."Do not say that...Aviva had

    Few hours later Scarlett logged out. Fortunately, she got almost everything, the one thing remaining was elemental stones, not just hers but for the others too and she was hoping on them to get the coins she needed to buy them.After putting down her glasses, she was greeted by Maple's angry expression."I thought you said it was important?""It is important" Scarlett mumbled and then shook her head. She told her everything Alan told her while removing a lot of things though and inputting hers just to be safe."How do you even know all of that?" Maple eyed her suspiciously."Well actually..." Scarlett tried to explain but she was interrupted by Maple."Don't tell if you don't want to. I can't take it when you lie to me" Maple sighed with a dejected look. Ajax wasn't the only reason she was stressed, she had no idea what Scarlett must be going through but she wasn't telling her about it.Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward she decided to change the topic."Where are your ghost frien

    Preparation

    Nebillon city had many markets, there was even a grocery market but players rarely went there, although one could eat in SSO. It was still advised to log out at least once in two months.As SSO was a prototype it could have many unforeseen side effects, well at least that's what the students thought and the only thing keeping them at bay were these thoughts.Scarlett made her way into the busy market looking for any life-saving tool although she already had one, it didn't hurt to have another. Losing her hard earn levels was a nightmare, not because she was afraid to fight more creatures but because she had no time. It was just a week before the assessment and losing just one level could spell the end for you.She then walked into a store that sold accessories made of jade. Most life-saving tools were accessories so a good start."Welcome, welcome!!" an enthusiastic voice came from the other side of the counter."Hello?" Scarlett tilted her head in confusion. She heard the voice but c

    Time slowly went by and before anyone could realize it, it was just a week left before the monthly assessment.Scarlett had patched things up with Maple and placed her full concentration on training, even though she felt that her instructor was pretty slow.She also ignored the third chain of the quest for the time being. The quest could be shared with ten people and that spoke volumes of how dangerous the quest was.In all this, Scarlett never forgets that her main goal was to save her brother but she was still weak.* * * Scarlett was currently in the training room with instructor Talon."Concentrate!!" Instructor Talon corrected again messaging his temples."I'm trying but it's hard, being on fire without actually catching fire, what do I even need that for, assessment is just next week. Please instructor Talon teach me something that is offensive" Scarlett pleaded but her pleas fell on deaf ears."I will teach you at my own pace. Now quit whining and start working on increasing t

    Maple stood outside Scarlett's room, trying to comprehend what she was seeing."You guys?" she asked confused.When Scarlett started letting out curses, she knew something was up. "Scarlett?""You can see us?" Scott asked shocked. Being seen in SSO was rotatably different from being seen in real life and they all knew that. In fact, Maple just did them a favor by discovering them in the room, imagine they suddenly appeared in the class like they normally did, the outcome would be disastrous."What kind of question is that?" Maple frowned. "Scarlett?""I'm sorry for hiding it from you" Scarlett sighed, but the others had a change in expression."What are you doing Scarlett?" Bruce asked with a serious expression."What? I have to tell her about you guys at least. Scott back me up here, even if I make up an excuse, sooner or later she'll find out the truth so what's the use""If it makes any difference, I'm still here and I can hear you" Maple folded her arms.Scarlett facepalmed, who c

    "I have to complete this quest soon, 24 hours is almost over," Scott said before walking out of the room given to him but then he saw Obehi walking towards him from afar and immediately went back to the room. He had gotten an idea and planned to utilize it.'Don't know if it will work or not but there's one way to find out' he thought before using the small knife on the fruit plate to slightly injure his neck. The injury was healing at a fast pace but at least blood came out and stained his neck.Scott then sat down on the couch making low groaning noise and pretending to struggle.Obehi entered Scott's room and saw him groaning while closing his eyes. She immediately panicked and went to him cupping her face in her hands."What's wrong with you?" after caressing his face for a long time she noticed the blood on his neck and gasped.Scott gave himself a thumbs up before slowly opening his eyes to see Obehi's teary eyes, a part of him felt guilty but he used the fact that she was an NP

    Fire Control

    Scarlett stood in front of instructor Talon, listening closely as he exile the different tiers of the fire ability."While other instructors believe that there is no ability stronger than the other, I like to believe the fire is at the top, understanding your ability makes it stronger""Every ability has its tier, ranging from five to ten. Fire has seven, the first tier is 'Fire Control'"'That isn't so badAs if reading Scarlett's thought instructor Talon scoffed before he continued. "Fire control doesn't just involve you setting something on fire, your control over its will is what counts. Will it stop burning when you ask it to or will it continue to burn even after your orders?""Abilities were never ours in the first place, it's a way of earth's compensation towards our different lack to its current evolution so abilities do have a mind of their own, you have to tame them""Moving on, each tier of an ability has two sides, control over your element and that of others"Scarlett st
