BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15: Skill that gives physical body!
Leo weeps in the corner while holding his imaginary legs as the only useful thing about his class job is giving him additional stats upon increasing his level!
Although upgrading his class seems very simple which only required him to create 500 potions and 100 basic puppetry, as a ghost without a physical body, creating a potion and puppet is simply impossible!
D*mn you system!
...
After crying for a while, Leo weakly looked at the ceiling above before casting his gaze toward the fissure in the sky.
The silent gloomy sky filled with cracks and darkness from beyond, the marching and groaning of the zombies as they walked to the unknown, and the sound of weak wind caressing the trees and buildings as it passed.
"Although my class seems useless, I could still gain skills from my original tree skill. Since I upgraded to Level 10 I could probably learn 3 new skills."
Right... I almost forgot you.
Almost forgetting something, Leo opened his panel and pressed the inventory to retrieve the green scroll he had gotten earlier.
Ding!
[ Wisp of Poison (Elite) - Release a green mist of poison in the air that could cause internal damage to the being who inhales it. (Inhaling much poison would increase the damage effect of the poison)

Note: A mix of 5 poisons that cause internal bleeding, diarrhea, itchy ness, sore throat, and weakness. Inhaling too much might cause death! ]
[ Learning the "Wisp of Poison (Elite(Level 1))" skill would cost 500 horror points! Would you like to learn the skill? (Accept/Declined) ]
Ehh???
"Finally! Although it is not a direct offensive skill it still could be considered an offensive skill!"
Accept!
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon learning the "Wisp of Poison" Elite (Level 1) skill! ]
Leo's mood drastically improves upon finally getting an offensive skill. Without further ado, Leo immediately accepts causing his horror points to decrease by a hundred.
Happy about the gain, Leo then began to check the skill tree. If he remembers correctly, he could unlock new skills every 2 levels, starting from Level 2 to Level 10.
Soon enough, after clicking the tree skill Leo immediately saw three new skills glowing with gloomy dark light. Silently waiting for him to learn.
Unhurriedly, Leo began to check the skills one by one, again hoping to unlock new offensive skills!
'It would be cool if I unlock Fireball.'
Ding!

Gulp...
Leo stared at the last skill available on the skill tree dumbfounded. He just read it and re-read it a couple of times to ensure that he didn't read it wrongly.
Stunned, Leo just stared at the screen in front of him without moving, having no idea how to react.
"D...did I really have hope... to get my own physical body?"
'I... Could I still have hope to experience cold?... and how my arms touch things while not accidentally phrasing through it?... I...' Leo for the first time after being a ghost for a couple of weeks stuttered in his thoughts.
After staring at the screen for a couple of minutes, the sound of a seemingly sobbing vengeful spirit echoed inside the building.
***
At the same time, a hundred kilometers away from Leo's location, on the rooftop of an old wrecked building, a group of people formed a circle under the moonlit.
The familiar young man, wearing light armor while holding a sheathed sword on his right arm looked at the surrounding people gravely.
"Did you all get the mission, right?" The young man said as his sharp eyes scanned the faces of people around him. Seeing that no one objects, the young man takes a deep breath as he starts explaining the mission.
"Our mission is simple, Ignore zombies below Level 15 and kill all those above that level, including the foundation zombies... Our mission is extremely dangerous and would take a while since we needed to travel for tens of kilometers to clean the strong zombies." The young man paused for a second to catch his breath before continuing.
"If somehow, you got bitten by the zombies immediately approach the "Healing Priest" to get cleansed.
"Moreover, you also needed to protect the "Healing Priest" with your life! If she dies then surviving would be hard for us."
Hearing those words, especially the word bitten, the expression of the people in the group couldn't help but turn graved as they looked at the woman in the group who was holding a white 2-meter-long staff, identifying the only "Healing Priest" in the group.
Seeing the attention she gets, the only "Healing Priest" in the group nods shyly towards them. "Please take care of me."
Hearing those words, the people in the group nodded to her as they cast their gaze toward the young man, signaling to him to continue.
After explaining and answering the questions of his teammates, the young man along with his group stood up as they unhurriedly walked toward the north.
Signaling the start of their mission.
