The ghost was making horrible screeches and getting up.. it seems like it was in pain.
Why? It was just a normal book... Then I looked at the book in my hands. It was a book that is said to have some sorts of magic..
Right! Holy magic! I got this book from a friend, he gave me it because I was scared of ghosts after reading that book..
He said it had some sorts of magic imbued within, I wasn't really sure whether it was true or not. But it seems like it's true!
The ghost is screaming in pain! But my happiness didn't last long, the ghost came at me while still screaming, this time trying to grab me with it's hands..
Using 1 of the hand and leg to walk and the other 2 to grab and devour people.. I think that's the nature of this ghost.
I slapped it with the book I used earlier and it seemed to work again, this time the ghost's skin was burning. It doesn't seem like a ghost will die just because of this... No, even a human could survive such small injuries.
So I kept hitting it with the book until it died, and bam! It started fading and disappearing. I closed my ears with my left hand, well my left ear, not "ears'.
The way it screamed every time I hit it was terrible, luckily it was unintelligent and couldn't do anything when in pain except covering it's face with it's hands.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon!"
Unfortunately, it wasn't over soon. Well, unfortunate for the ghost because I could do this all day!
You disturbed my sleep, scared me and I'll fail my exams because of you! The exam parts was probably not the ghost's doing but who cares.
And finally after 5 more minutes of constant bullying and exorcising the ghost, it disappeared. It doesn't die because it already died, it only disappears, get it?
Well, I could finally relax now.. Haa... Screw you damn ghost. Why didn't you just stay in that book instead of coming out to disturb my sleep.
Ah, right, thinking again, that book wasn't even in my house, it was in the house the friend that gave me this book that's imbued with holy magic or whatever.
I wonder if he's fine? Thinking again, that ghost earlier wasn't the only ghost out of that book. There was many other scarier ones. It was one of the low level ghosts to be honest.
Otherwise, I'd be the one that's dead. I'm just a student trying to study for exams, why does this happens to me!?
This kind of reminds of these books where the main character gets transmigrated into some kind of novels or ones where the novel becomes reality...
In this case, it was probably the latter. Right? Since my house is still the same as it was before and everything seems fine.
It was still midnight and I still felt very sleepy regardless.. even though I was still kind of scared by the events earlier, I couldn't help but fall asleep the moment my body touched the bed.
....
At the same time, in the house of the friend.
A book seemed to be open, it was the horror book he read with his friend, Louis. It seemed to be affected by some kind of foreign powers... Something similar to magic. But magic only existed in books, right? Well, not really, it existed everywhere on the world. It was just that you couldn't use magic through normal means. In any cases, this magic was something that could be described as corrupted. It wasn't anything pleasant, it wasn't dark magic either. It also doesn't seem like it was the work of any normal beings...
The house was covered in blood, even though ghosts normally doesn't leave a trace behind when they devour humans... Well, most ghosts. Some liked to torture their prey before they'd die.
And it seems that Louis's friend suffered quite a gruesome end. Surrounding the pool of blood was a book that was also imbued with holy magic.
....
The next day, I opened my eyes and slowly got up... It seems like my body's quite sore from yesterday. Or can it be considered yesterday when it only happened just 7 hours ago?
The ghost appeared at 1 AM and it was 8 AM now, it seems that I've slept for a while now..
In any cases, it feels like I'm forgetting to do something. No wait, it feels like I'm forgetting a lot of things!
Where's my family? Did they survive after the ghost appeared? Ah..wait, it happened when I was home alone. Right, it's a horror scene so it's only natural that it happens at such times..
But this isn't a movie or a book! Why am I this unlucky!? This wasn't the first time I got into such danger alone. I got lost in forest once and almost died, a snake bit me and I almost died, I almost died because I was taking a bath and I fell asleep!
...I swear I'm not just clumsy but unlucky! I'm probably cursed by some kind of ghosts.
Ah, right, ghosts...ghosts...
Right, I have to check up on my friend, Ryan. That guy is the one that saved my life by giving me this book. I just have to hope he'll be fine...
