Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

A new day was upon us, the sunlight shone brightly through the window, and I quickly woke up stretching my arms. I could hear Amelia in the kitchen downstairs, probably cooking something good for breakfast. Hm, the smell of coffee was pretty good too.

I quickly walked out of bed while noticing Partner was with me, and Nyx, and Arachne… Hmm, she definitely didn't see Partner and Arachne, so if they walk down to eat breakfast they're going to get found out and we'll have to answer questions and… annoying.

Well, they were still deeply asleep, so I took advantage of that and placed them in my Shadow Realm, right over a big shadow bed that was equally warm and cozy.

"Alright, done with that…" I nodded. "Nyx, time to wake up!"

"Hmm…" Nyx groaned a bit, but slowly opened her eyes. "Ah, right… we have to go to school now? Mama, school is… annoying… I don't want to wake up early every day!"

"I know it's annoying, but it's just for this week, so let's bear it together, alright?2 I asked her, petting her head.

"Fineee…" she sighed. "But I want something sweet!"

"Hahah, alright," I giggled.

We walked to the second-floor bathroom and there we took a mother and daughter bath together. I washed her well washed to leave my little princess daughter presentable for her classes.

While washing her long silvery-white hair, which was the same color as mine, I began asking her some questions.

"So how are the classes for you, Nyx? Have you made any friends?"

"Dunno… but there's a few boys that like talking to me… and a girl, she's shy."

"Oh? What are they called?"

"I don't know their names… the shy girl has green hair! And the boys are… I think they're twins of red colored hair… Hm, they love talking a lot!"

"I see… Just act natural with them, alright? They believe you're another person even though they call you with your name, don't forget to look around and be observant, Nyx."

"Ok!" she nodded. "I'll report anything suspicious!"

"Good," I nodded. "Good girl!"

SPLASH!

I splashed her long hair with warm water, quickly washing her long hair with some good modern world shampoo.

If we manage to clear this trial and this world stays normal afterwards, maybe as part of the tower? It would be nice to buy groceries from here.

Despite Yggdrasil having a lot of amazing stuff, their quality can't compare to the things in this parallel earth-like world at all!

"Then time to dry up!"

I used a big towel to quickly dry her little body, she had lots of scales here and there, too, her long tail, wings, and horns, I had to wash them separately.

"Hmm, lots of dry skin here, are you shedding your scales?" I wondered.

"Yeah…" she nodded. "It's a bit itchy…"

"Hm, okay, let mama apply this lotion," I said, taking out some lotion for pain and irritation from the bathroom and using it to alleviate her itchiness over her tail and wings, arms and legs.

"Ooh! It feels nice!" she said. "Where did you get that cream, mama?"

"It's from this world, another wonder that wouldn't be easy to recreate on Yggdrasil, we would need lots of specific herbs…" I said. "Hm, but we could make something similar anyways! It wouldn't take that long. Alchemy is pretty amazing."

"Let's make some of that later!" Nyx said.

She had already shed most of the excess skin anyways, but the itchiness remained a bit after that, her new scales were fresh and very shiny after all, and a bit soft too, they would harden after some time.

More interestingly though, her scales were crystalline, and this also became an element when she shed them, so she shed a lot of little pieces of black crystals everywhere.

I quickly collected them they were actually high-quality dragon scale skin shedding, which could even be used for some alchemy… or even equipment making.

"Mama, why are you looking at those so much?"

"Ah, well, they're actually high quality materials! Did you know?"

"Wow, really?! Heh, then you can keep that as my payment for being such a good mama."

"Hahah! Who do you think you are, you little brat? Come here!"

I grabbed her and tickling her belly and her armpits, and she giggled a lot.

"Hahahaha! W-Wait mama! Hahaha! Nooo! Heeeey!"

After that little moment, we walked out of the bathroom and saw the rest of our family ready for another day.

Lucifer had already taken a bath in another bathroom, and Nia and Celes had also finished taking theirs, there were like three bathrooms here!

Arthur was still taking a shower though, he just woke up and ran to the bathroom, according to Nia.

"Hahah, he must be quite the sleepyhead," she giggled. "Now, shall we go downstairs? I'm quite hungry…"

"Sure, we should," I nodded. "Though I'm hungrier for a few kisses from my desert queen over here." I hugged her hips.

"A-Ah, well, I've missed kissing you too," she smiled, kissing my lips a few times. "A few kisses every morning won't hurt anybody, right? Fufu…"

"That's right~!" I nodded, happily receiving her love.

"Ahem!" Lucifer interrumpted our little time. "I think we should get going, we wouldn't want to create suspicion. Right?" Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

"Yeeah, I guess so!" I nodded.

As we walked downstairs, Arthur quickly caught up to us, although still drying his hair with a towel.

"Sorry for waking up so late. I became addicted to this smartphone artifact they got in this world…" he said. "There were a lot of interesting things one after another… even things known as "videogames" and such, I couldn't stop finding new things to watch and interact with!"

"Oh yeah it's pretty interesting," I nodded. "Right?"

"Yes it's very entertaining…" Arthur nodded. "There's an application to watch videos… which are like recorded events! And they're very interesting! Though, I saw some very alarming news later…"

"Huh? What is it?" I asked him.

"These, look," he showed me his phone.

The news headline said, "Over a Hundred "Nightmare Door" Ambush Attacks Leave Hundreds Of Casualties All Over The World. Primary Victims Are Not Civilians, But Dream Warriors!".

What the hell?!
