NOVEL WEB Chapter 29: Ghost Emperor's Approval Letter
Alpha Thunder took a deep breath and looked down at his torn armor.
He was trying to unlock the Second Class called a Ghost Emperor, but this large man was trying to kill him! Ever since the day he broke that stupid Gray tablet it had been chasing him!
What was he supposed to do! It was virtually indestructible! Only an act of god could kill it!
Boom!
Alpha Thunder ducked before a beam of light shot through a building and knocked over a bell tower. The bell tower fell over and a small boy walked out of the bell tower with candy. He had a smile on his face and started skipping while everyone ran away from him.
However, he seemed to smile when he saw Alpha Thunder. It's like he knew who he was!
"Kid! Get away! Get away! There is a terrifying monster chasing me! He's level 35! Why aren't you the only one running!"
"Where is he?" Smokey cracked his neck. He had short brown hair, massive blue eyes, and pale skin with a lollypop in his mouth. "I'll take care of him!"
"You broke my mother's gravestone you asshole!" A large monster appeared behind Alpha Thunder. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and maybe it did! He turned around and rolled away from the blade!
Smokey, on the other hand, just stood there and held out his lollypop!
Boom!
Smokey's lollypop pushed back the sword.
Bang!
Wam!
Zow!
The lollipop and the sword rapidly crashed against each other. It made no sense!
'This kid is good. Maybe I can recruit him.' Alpha Thunder ran to an ally and hid behind a bucket. 'If he wins, I might be the first person to get a second class! Haha, go candy kid!'
The name Candy Kid might become famous or might not, but Alpha Thunder just watched the battle. The lollypop was starting to crumble and get closer to the center, but the sword of the Ghost Emperor also seemed to be running down.
"I'm tired!" Smokey's finger glowed and then the Ghost Emperor's body split apart into pieces. "You-you destroyed my lollypop! I banish you to the underworld!"
"What's happening?" Harvard had seen the bell tower drop and thought it might have been Smokey. When he looked up, a beam of light seemed to have started traveling into space. "What are you doing here!"
"Ah, if it isn't the guy who rips off his friends!" Alpha Thunder shook his head.
In his entire life, he'd never been ripped off so bad until he met Harvard. He really ripped him off! He made him pay 5,000,000 Lograms for him to fight 3 Field Bosses! He even recommended him to crush that damn stone! It was the worst decision of his life.
Harvard also hadn't joined his guild yet, and he told everyone he was his friend. It felt like he slapped him in the face! How dare he show his face!
"Look man, I'm not paying you more money! This is level 25 armor! I still haven't found good level 30 armor yet because I had to sell it to get your help!"
"Hey dad!" Smokey waved and picked up the bell tower with one hand and tossed it back into the air. "Haha! I just had so much fun fighting a weakling! You want what he dropped?"
"Sure!" Harvard rushed over to Smokey and looked down at the corpse.
The Ghost Emperor had been a powerful warrior from the very first patch that King Yama made, and looked like he had greatly suffered. This was the third path, but Harvard wasn't interested in that! He was interested in the item!
[Ghost Emperor's Approval Letter]
[Take this to the NPC you killed in order to unlock the Ghost Emperor Class]
[You will be able to skip doing all 7 Class 2 Quests with this item]
"What? What did you find?" Harvard ignored Alpha Thunder who kept talking. "Tell me, please! I didn't know that was your son! I-I didn't think we'd been here for 9 months yet! You work fast!"
"Tell me. If I wanted to join your guild and get some help from your guildmates, would you do it for me? I have 5 quests I need to complete and two hands. Do you think you could help me save my other child, deliver a bad thief to his mother, and find someone named Loonie."
"I know Loonie. No one messes with that creep," Alpha Thunder sighed. "Fine, I agree to help you with your Quests, but let me at least see the item first!"
[Harvard has offered trade.]
[Ghost Emperor's Letter of Approval has been offered]
[Alpha Thunder has accepted trade.]
[Harvard has canceled trade]
"Do it, first!" Harvard smacked Alpha Thunder's hand. "Smokey, don't you agree! He should do what your father wants!"
"Yeah," Smokey had a deep masculine voice of a 50 year old. "Help my father! Otherwise, one of your legs got to go! They got to go!"
"Fine! Man! We'll do your quests, but after this you're joining our guild! You need one anyway and we're the 8th strongest Guild, just a little bit weird. You okay with weird?"
"I accepted" Harvard had already gotten a guild request a long time ago. "Now, shall we go save my children. I believe I have three already, but I may have lost count.

'Hoho! Alpha Thunder pulled through.'

[Reward: 1,000 Lograms, 20,000 experience(saved until after levrel 30), a potential wife waiting at Ghost Tower]
'A new wife waiting. When I make children, this will be really useful," Harvard kept waiting for Quests to come in with Lilac on a bench. Smokey had them kiss a few times, and then seemed satisfied.
'Hoh a new one!' Harvard decided to finally rename Sniff's Nose to something better! He thought the name Normal City sounded inconspicuous enough!
'Come on! Please give me a good reward!'
[Quest Complete:Rename Sniff's Nose]
[You named Sniff's Nose - Normal City]
[Reward: 5,000,000 Lograms, 120,000 experience, gained noble title in Normal City! You can now buy a property there for 10 percent off and get rare quests!]
'Damn it! It's not bad, but who wants to be a noble? What about a place to put Smokey where he won't destroy the world! What about a cape for a thief! I've been capeless for 30 levels!'
"Mom, dad," I'll see you later. I can sense someone is in danger!" Smokey found a cape that dropped when a beautiful woman ran away from him after he decked a thief in the face. "I'll be in the darkness! You will never see me again, promise!"
"My god, he grew up so fast," Lilac touched her lips. "Thank god, if he made me kiss you more my dad would probably see the mark."
"Do you really have to return," Harvard got up and stretched. "I'm a noble in Normal City now, so I'm a good person to be with on Quests. I'll make you smile! Come on! Are you really going to leave!"
"I must, or he'll assassinate you," Lilac hugged Harvard. She had on a white dress today, and for some reason kept wearing shorter skirts to try and impress Harvard. What was going on in her head, but she was still happy to be leaving. "Hehe, you're smiling when you look at me. If you really like me, come back to Normal City sometime.'
[New Quest received]
'No! I almost cleared all my quests! Please no!'
"What? You don't like me." Lilac pouted and pushed him gently away.
[Quest has been rescinded by Lilac]
'No, it's not that!' Harvard replied to Lilac,
[New Quest received]
[Return for Lilac when you reach level 35]
[She will help you possess the most important part of the Midnight Ruler's Armor! The shoulder pads! When it is 12 oclock! You will be a lot faster with high quality Midnight Ruler shoulder pads!]
[Reward: Midnight Ruler shoulder pads, a meeting with the Mayor, and a chance to increase your noble title!]
Harvard couldn't decline the quest because there was no option to accept the quest, so he just smiled and kissed Lilac one more time. A wagon then came and whisked her away! A few assassins that had been waiting in the bushes exclaimed "Shit!" and immediately left.
'Looks like I'll see her again in the future,' Harvard sighed and looked at his Quest window. Now, time to save sylvia's sister!
