Ethan went up to the third floor and sighed in front of a long corridor, he said:

"Well, let's start the job now."

Ethan plugged in the vacuum cleaner and started vacuuming the third floor. Some of the ghosts came out of the room and met Ethan, one of them said:

"Oh are you the new employee? You look new here."

Ethan bowed to them and politely replied:

"Yes sir, I just applied for a job here last night."

The ghosts also bowed politely to Ethan and left. Ethan thought to himself:

"Well, they're really polite and nice, too."

Ethan concentrates on his work. Back in Tommy's kitchen, he was cooking more than five pots of soup and five very hot pans. Charlie the monkey pulled out a box of wine from the kitchen storage and Tommy picked up a bottle of wine, he said:

"Thanks Charlie, now get me some more cheddar cheese and handmade mozzarella please."

Charlie howled once and went back into the kitchen storage. Tommy opened the bottle while whistling, he passed the pans and suddenly Cleran said over the radio:

"Tommy, stop whistling and turn off the radio. Okay, here's the menu."

Cleran sent through the food truck a note full of menus to Tommy then he took it and read it while drinking. Tommy said:

"Beef steak, lobster soup, creamed spaghetti, blah blah blah... It's nothing to me. Hahaha."

Tommy poured the wine quickly through the five pans and turned the heat on to a high heat that burned all five of the pans. Tommy pulled out a kitchen knife aka his soul knife in his right hand and a butcher knife in his left hand and shouted:

"Wake me up!"

Tommy chopped down something and madly cooked like a mad doctor in Evanescence's Bring Me To Life. On Leo's side, he looked very focused on doing something. Leo flashed his eyes and quickly cut off an excess leaf from a butterfly bush. Leo twirled the scissors like a gun and shoved it into his holster, he said:

"Ah, perfect. And the last thing I need to do is... ROSE OF MADAM!!!"

Thunder boomed and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony sang, and everything turned toward a glass room at the far end of the garden. Then Leo went there and wore a radiation suit even though he didn't need that suit. Leo opened the glass room and entered, the room used its own air filtration system to provide clean air for a single rose, Juliet Rose with its charming and beautiful yellow-orange color. Leo took out a pipette and sucked in some clean distilled water. Then he gathered all his soul energy and watered the rose slowly and slowly. This job took more than forty minutes to water Madam's Juliet Rose. As he did Leo, he thought to himself:

"Holy crap! I wish Madam never told its true price."

Juliet Rose's price was over five million dollars. On Cleran's side, she was rewriting information about new guests and deleting the names of guests who left. While writing, a new guest arrived, he was a middle-aged man and worked in an office, he said:

"Ah, excuse me, can I book a room here?"

Cleran was a bit busy with all the paperwork, she quickly grabbed a piece of information paper and slammed it on the front desk and said quickly:

"Here, fill in all the information!"

Then she continued to hastily tidy up the pile of papers. The other customer was surprised and had to fill out the information sheet. The ghosts had to fill out a piece of paper with the following contents: Name, date of birth, address, job, does he still have a family, why he died, how long he died, when did he realize he died, how did he get here, last wish and signature. The visitor filled in his information: his name is Robert Samson; born July 23, 1990; address 2/733 River Oaks area; work as an office worker, the family has a wife and two children in primary school; the reason of death from being hit by a car because of not paying attention; been dead for three days, realized he was dead the day he died; he got here because he saw the hotel's blue candle leading the way; his last wish is to have his family happy after his death; then he signed it. Cleran received the paper and stamped the eye symbol on the signature and all check-in procedures were completed. Suddenly he burst into tears and said:

"Will I be able to see my family again?"

Cleran noticed that his right shoulder was emitting a little black smoke, a sign that the Evil Spirit was about to transform. Cleran stroked his right shoulder and said kindly:

"We'll do everything here to help you no matter how hard it is, trust us. I guarantee you'll see your family happy after you die. It's our job to give everyone a peaceful rest and let the living no longer suffer and be sad."

Cleran's eyes appeared gentle, sincere and trustworthy while her lips smiled lightly to make everyone feel at ease. The visitor felt relieved and said:

"Thank you, I'll trust you."

Cleran then gave him the key to room 5-8 then bowed to him and said gently:

"Please enjoy all the services at Hotel Melody and have a good day."

The guest nodded and went up to his room. Suddenly Cleran went back to her usual cold face and hooked her nose, she said:

"Huh, that bullshit wish again. Alright, I need to deal with this, let's see how much money I need to send his family."

The guests enjoyed the services at Hotel Melody, they enjoyed the clean and comfortable atmosphere, the delicious food, the breathtaking views and gardens, playing outdoor games with a nearby lake such as swimming, boating or climbing, playing video games, reading books and watching movies as they like, they could all enjoy it so that they could rest peacefully. Ethan, Tommy, Cleran and Leo worked hard until noon when they got an hour's break. Everyone gathered in the kitchen for lunch. Tommy made some spaghetti for Ethan, Cleran and Leo and said:

"Here, enjoy the meal."

Ethan was all tired, he had cleaned the hotel floors perfectly as Madam wanted. He picked up the fork and said:

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"Thanks for... the meal."

Cleran's hands were numb, she said:

"Ah... ice, ice."

Tommy put a bucket of ice on the table and continued to work on his own. Cleran dipped her hand in ice and said:

"Phew, it's better."

Leo looked like he was having a heart attack, he successfully watered Madam's Juliet Rose for fear of being deducted. Leo only smelled the smoke of the plate of food instead of eating like everyone else, he said:

"Oh cheese and the sauce, perfect."

Ethan felt a little strange with Leo's way of eating, he looked over at Tommy and Charlie the monkey. Tommy took the guests' dishes to eat again and Charlie got to eat a plate of fresh fruit. Ethan looked over at Leo and said:

"You don't eat?"

Leo replied:

"Oh, don't you realize my condition? I'm a ghost, I can only smell it and absorb it like food."

Ethan said with confusion:

"What?"

Tommy replied:

"Here Ethan, eat this."

Tommy held out a plate of food from guests and Ethan tried it, he said:

"It's very pale and cold."

Tommy replied:

"Excatly, ghosts can't eat, they smell the food and absorb it like food. That's why many dishes cool down and become pale when left for a long time, because the ghosts have absorbed all of its taste and smell."

Ethan said:

"But if that's the case then there will be a lot of leftovers."

Tommy replied:

"Yeah, that's why I ate them all. It's good to lose taste."

Ethan said curiously:

"You lost your taste buds, but your dishes are delicious."

Tommy shrugged and replied:

"Yup, I cook by estimating spices instead of tasting. Cooking is in my blood so all recipes are nothing to me."

Ethan said with admiration:

"Wow, you're so talented Tommy."

Tommy smiled excitedly and said cheerfully:

"Ha! See it you two, just give me a little compliment and I'll cook better. And we have thirty minutes left, let's eat faster."

After lunch, Ethan and Cleran changed clothes to change their shifts. Ethan wore a fancy suit to work as a receptionist and Cleran wore a maid suit. "I really hate this outfit you know, but Madam keeps making me wear it."

Cleran showed Ethan her suit, he said:

"But it's kinda lovely."

Cleran got bored and replied:

"Yeah whatever, let's go, let's get to work."

Everyone started their work in the afternoon, Ethan would be the receptionist, Tommy would still cook, Leo would clean the pool and clean around the lake and Cleran would clean the hotel room. Cleran entered a room on the third floor, only the bed was not made and she said:

"Shit! They should clean up a bit!"

Cleran's cleaning job was very simple for an experienced person like her, just rearranging the bed, vacuuming, cleaning the toilet and changing the towels. Some rooms Cleran would skip because they haven't had guests yet or if guests hang a do not disturb sign outside the door handle. For Ethan, this was his first time working as a receptionist. Although he had seen many times how the receptionists worked, this was the first time so he was a bit worried. A new guest came to Ethan, she was a European woman and looked like a tourist. She began speaking a language Ethan did not understand, perhaps French. Ethan felt confused but he quickly calmed himself and took out his phone to turn on google voice translation, he spoke over the phone:

"Sorry, what can I do for you?"

The guest spoke by phone:

"Yes, why is this place here? I know I'm dead and I was brought here by the hotel's blue candlelight."

Ethan said:

"Yeah, this is the Melody Hotel, a resting place for ghosts so they can go to the afterlife."

The guest replied:

"But how?"

Ethan said:

"We'll grant everyone's wishes, the things people couldn't do while they were alive, to make them happier."

The guest replied:

"Can I book a room here?"

Ethan said:

"Yes, please fill out this form."

The guest took the paper and filled in the information. Ethan hastily contacted Cleran:

"Cleran, there's a tourist ghost here, what should I do?"

Cleran was cleaning the bathroom, she replied:

"Just give her the room first, then we'll see what her wish is."

Ethan said:

"Sure!"

Ethan returned to the visitor, who handed the information sheet to him. Ethan read it silently:

"Name: Elena Gramson

Date of birth: September 28, 2000

Address: 2/17 Anderson Street, Paris city, France (All fictitious information, just imagine this is another French multiverse)

Job: Photographer

Living together and taking care of parents

Reason for death: Careless photography and falling into the harbor (Accept it, there will be many more crappy reasons to die, otherwise there won't be a story to read)

Died for a day, realized she was dead the day she died

Came here by seeing the blue candle

Her last wish is to see her family again and have a nice photo with them

And finally the signature."

Ethan looked at Elena, who asked sadly:

"Will I be able to see them again? My parents, they probably know by now that I'm dead."

Determined not to let her down, Ethan said loudly and seriously:

"You can trust us! No matter how difficult it is, helping people is our responsibility!

Ethan bowed to her and continued:

"Please trust us!"

Elena burst into tears with Ethan's enthusiasm, determination and honesty. Then she bowed her head to Ethan and said:

"Thank you."

Ethan then gave her the room key so she could rest. Suddenly Leo said over the radio:

"What the heck? Ethan."

Ethan was startled and replied:

"What? Did everyone hear it?"

Cleran said:

"Yes, you forgot to turn off the radio."

Ethan shouted:

"Nooo!"

After a tiring day of work, it was already dark and the work of hunting Evil Spirits began with the cowboys. Everyone gathered in the weapon room on the -1 floor to prepare their weapons. While Ethan was admiring the weapons from the 19th century and WW1, Tommy was checking the Evil Spirits detector. Ethan looked at the screen and said curiously:

"Oh, what's that?"

Tommy replied:

"Oh, Evil Spirits detector, even the slightest sign like when Evil Spirits are about to be formed, it will notify you."

Cleran just finished fixing the Evil Spirits sunglasses for Tommy and Leo then she threw them at them and said:

"Here, that's done and I'm not going to be on the hunt tonight so bye."

Cleran quickly left to avoid having to hunt. Ethan continued:

"How can you hurt Evil Spirits? They're ghosts too, you know."

Leo held up a bullet engraved with an eye symbol and said:

"Here is it, just carve the legendary eye symbol on the bullet and can damage Evil Spirits. But one is not enough, so we have my gatling gun."

Leo went back and cleaned his gatling gun. Tommy said:

"Yeah, you came up with that idea but I'm the mass producer. So Ethan, any other questions?"

Ethan replied:

"Yeah, you can afford a bunch of modern weapons, why only cowboy guns here?"

Tommy said:

"Oh boy, modern guns can't be better than old ones, it may be better but the old school feel won't be the same. And Madam forbids that, fuck!"

Ethan suddenly said:

"What do you and everyone earn Gold Coins for?"

Tommy calmed down a bit, he said:

"Well, Leo used to be an outlaw so he needed three thousand Gold Coins to get to the Path of Eternal. Cleran simply wanted a slot there. And me? Well, you'll understand later. And you, what will you use Gold Coins for?"

Ethan looked at his first Gold Coin and replied calmly:

"Well, I'll find out soon."

Ethan put the Gold Coin back in his coat pocket and Tommy picked up the beer and said:

"Choose well, kid."

Tommy continued:

"Did you bring your gun?"

Ethan replied:

"Oh yeah, I don't know how to use it so I'm going to give it back to you, here."

Ethan tried to return the revolver to Tommy, but he said:

"Keep it, I'll teach you how to use it later. And here's your present, for the new guy."

Tommy gave Ethan a belt with a eye with blue pupil symbol, he said:

"Wearing it, you will become invisible to normal human eyes and you can stop being invisible when you press the eye icon again. Try it."

Ethan put on his new belt and put the gun in the holster. The belt suits him very well, he said:

"Seem fit, thank you."

Tommy replied:

"You're welcome."

Ethan was about to ask another question, but Tommy suddenly said:

"There's a signal. Let's move. Leo, load the gun and bring my shotgun. Ethan, let's go."

Ethan replied:

"Yes sir."

The two of them hurriedly left and Leo shouted:

"What the heck?!"

Tommy went to the garage and started their Chevrolet Caprice. Ethan helped Leo put the gun in the trunk and the two sat in the back seat. Tommy said:

"Okay, fasten your seat belt."

Ethan and Leo quickly buckled their seat belts, but Leo shouted angrily:

"Wait, why do I need to wear a seat belt?"

Tommy turned on the Evil Spirits detector in the car and said:

"Ok let's go. It's operating in the South of the city. Shit, Evil Spirits are expanding their area of operations, two years ago they were in the North of the city although they usually operate in the West."

Tommy hit the gas and shouted excitedly:

"Ghost Riders of Texas, Let's go!"

And they quickly went into the city to begin the hunt. Cleran and Charlie the Monkey waved goodbye to them.
