Horror points - 2500 ( Gains for killing 10 zombies for the first time! )
...
Leo smiled slightly upon seeing his improvement in the past few days of playing hide and seek with that d*mn monster while killing zombies in the process.
Too bad he still couldn't see the other party's appearance due to its speed. He even suffered too much yesterday, almost costing him his life due to his carelessness!
Fortunately, It wouldn't be long and he would be able to kill dozens of them!
As for why he was confident in himself, Leo quickly checked the new skill he received from the Skill Tree when he upgraded to Level 4!
[ Decayed Aura: Decreased the Vitality of beings around the host for a small amount causing them to quickly get sick and worsen their hidden injury. It also reduces the healing speed of the being in the surroundings of the host!

Note: Don't be surprised, you're a ghost remember? ]
Leo smiled lightly upon reading the note below as memories regarding ghosts resurfaced inside his head. It already become his hobby for the past few days, reviewing his memory to keep his sanity in check.
Although it is not common, in his memory he often saw a post and notes regarding the existence of Ghosts on the internet in the past.
After a being dies people often believe that their souls are either going to heaven or hell to receive their punishment and rewards for the deeds they did when they were still alive.
However, it is also believed that there are some rare cases where the deceased soul harbored deep resentment and will, causing them to create an anchor to the Earth that caused them to be unable to rest eternally and go to either heaven or hell.
Those souls who were stuck on Earth thus become a ghost, evil entities, or spirits.
Ghosts, in essence, often carried deep desires and regrets that they wanted to accomplish when they were still alive. Although not too dangerous and would not initiate to hurt someone. People still felt deep fear in their presence.
Since they are ghosts who often carry deep desires and regrets, people often see them in some place, doing the things they regret and desire when they are still alive.
The most common ghosts in the Philippines that he heard so far before the apocalypse are "The white Lady at Balete Drive", "Child Spirit in Call Center", and "The Headless Priest."
On the other hand, Evil Spirits also known as Evil Ghosts are infamous for their presence that brings "Bad Luck", "Disease," and, "The Aura of Death" to anyone close to it.
Instead of carrying desires and regret... They carried deep resentment towards anything that made them remember their darkest past... As for what their past is, only those Evil Ghosts know.
Leo remembered in one of the posts that Evil Spirits were created due to their intense emotions of Anger and Resentment before they died...
While the last one which is called "Spirits". Leo actually doesn't have much knowledge regarding this one. He only knew that they have a very... Very strong soul!
They also didn't rely on Desires, Regrets, and Intense Resentment to stay on Earth at all. They solely rely on their soul power to establish an anchor to Earth and stay!
...
Stay forcefully... Sigh...
"Am I a Ghost, Evil Entities, or Spirits?" Leo pondered as he placed one of his tendrils below his(Circle Black Smoke) in habit.
Truth to be told, Leo really had no idea what kind of Ghost he was. He is neither a Ghost nor an Evil Spirit, Although he has both characteristics of the two Ghosts, Leo doesn't have desires or regrets nor does he have deep enmity and hatred to be one of those.
As for Spirits, Although he had 15 points of soul power at the start, Leo believed that it was still far from the real stats of real spirits!
"Sigh... Am I having an identity crisis?" Leo joked to himself as he stared at the fissure in the sky before casting his gaze toward the horde of zombies hundreds of meters away.
"How long it would take for us to finally meet a human being? My hopes are slowly crumbling down..."
Leo sighed deeply within... After thinking for a while, Leo activated his invisibility skill before floating toward the horde.
Hopefully, after killing dozens of zombies they would finally reach their destination.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
+11 Exp points!
[ Congratulations on successfully killing your first 10 monsters! ]

Leo deactivated his "Mist Illusion" skill as he familiarly slipped to the ground before finding a building not far away to hide.
Upon emerging to the ground, Leo again deactivated his "Invisibility" skill before sighing in relief and began resting.
Checking the notification he just received, Leo's smile widens a little as he obtains free attribute points for killing 10 zombies for the first time!
"Hahaha, who would have thought that "Decayed Aura" are zombies nemesis?" Leo laughed out loud as he remembered how the zombie's injury worsened as time passed by. Although the process is quite slow he's still satisfied with its effect.
Still, the speed of my killing rate for the past few days is still too small.
It's almost been a week since Leo started tailing the hordes, yet, so far he only managed to kill 10 of them while he managed to injure dozens of them.
'I still lacked an offense skill... as for the "Mist of Illusion" Although its effect is amazing, the hallucination is random.'
Leo silently thought although he could manipulate the hallucination to a certain extent, doing it cost him mana points!
He already tried using it yesterday on the zombies... and the effect is that he almost died because he suddenly and accidentally ran out of mana in the middle of activation!
