Our hero who doesn't even have a proper name... Was betrayed countless times. He was simply used as a tool for power by many people... When he thought he got rid of one another popped up. He finally decided to end it. He jumped straight off a cliff head first. He had no regrets. Why should he? The one who was betrayed. The one who was left behind. Who was used as a sacrifice.

When he landed with the rocks he died instantly. The sharp rocks below the cliff pierced his brain,stomach,nether regions and both legs. His entire body was... Pierced... With rocks.

His life was ended right there.

But his soul? The story of his soul doesn't end there.

He thought he was going to wander in a void forever... Until a goddess appeared.

Goddess: "Hmm... You certainly are an interesting one. You embrace the void instead of trying to escape to the light... Only a few do that. You... I like you. You shall be reincarnated. I won't tell you what you will be reincarnated as. But know this... I grant you a small gift. Just as a small.. Favour... From me. I feel the hate you have for gods. I know that if you were in this void THEY... Would find you and you would overthrow us... This is going to be interesting!"

MC: "Heh... Reincarnation... Seems fun. Do i need to know anything?"

Goddess: "Yes... DESTROY."

MC: "What do you-"

He gets teleported off before he could finish his sentence... He feels... That he has no body... He can see perfectly in the darkness he is surrounded in... But he has no body. He can feel a strange liquid around his... Soul. He is in a forest. He wanders around until he finds something interesting... A slave convoy.

MC: "By the looks of things... A slave convoy... Medieval weapons and... Magic... I can see the magic power ooze from the magicians... And it feels like I can use it too... Perfect. I'll do as the goddess said. DESTROY the ones who control the slaves.. Hehehehhee"

Not soon after that... Screams were heard. Blood was spilled. Bones were shattered... And heads were rolling. The head of the convoy stopped and made everybody get into defensive positions. They tried to kill the ghost... But their material spears went through it.

Priests and mages used light and other elements to kill him. Useless. He didn't know why he was immune to light... He was an unholy ghost. He should've died. But he didn't care. He moved forward, killing everything what stood in his path except the slaves. Until the aristocrat who led the convoy appeared.

Aristocrat: "You filthy ghost! Dissapear! You aren't fit to see me! You are just filthy! I bet you were a commoner! Shoo!"

MC: "Hehe... A small little fat piggy... Makes for good target practice... Hehehehe...."

The guards looked in horror as this murderous rampaging ghost came towards them... They finally realized what he was using... Darkness... The shadows... He was controlling shadows..

He struck down a soldier... But that soldier said something unexpected...

Soldier: "For a lvl 20 like me... To be taken down by a lvl 1 ghost... Damn it... Damn it all to hell!"

MC : "Levels...? No time to think. Must kill. Save slaves. Save them from bad fate. Kill fat pigs and their soldiers."

He continued on his massacare. Until he reaced the artisocrat... He made very sure that the aristocrat WILL NOT have a swift death. First he cut down the aristocrat's horse. It died in a matter of seconds.

Then he slowly started cutting off each and every finger of the aristocrat while cutting off his toes aswell. The slaves looked in fear as this ghost murdered everything...

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

The Aristocrat couldn't take it anymore and collapsed and died... The ghost suddenly turned towards the carriages... The slaves thought that he would kill them. But he opened the cages... He cut open the cages he couldn't find keys for... The slaves didn't know what his objective was but they didn't want to find out... So the moment their cage opened they ran.

All but one girl. Her mother and father screamed for her to come. But she just stood there and looked at me.

Girl: "Thank you... For saving us..."

The girl tried to kiss my cheek but fell through my ghostly body.

MC: "It's nothing... I just feel the need to save slaves... And kill all the aristocrats and the ones serving them... Hehehehehe"

Girl: "What is your name...?"

MC: "I have none."

Girl: "I'll call you Rath... It's like Wrath but only without the W. Nice name isn't it Rath?"

The girl soon leaves because her mother and father kept shouting for her.

Rath: "Rath... Doesn't sound bad... I'll just continue killing... Slave convoys... I'll kill anything in my path... I'll save those who are being used wrongly."

Rath wandered around afture that for days... And days... An adventurer band came through the forest he was wandering in.

Adventurer #1: "Have you heard about that incident? About the ghost named Rath?"

Adventurer #2: "Yeah. Must've been a high-leveled one to clear out that aristocrat's slave convoy..."

Adventurer #3: "Don't want to meet him here... We are going through the forest he is in aren't we..."

Adventurer #1: "Yup... Let's go quickly before we meet him..."

Rath: "So rumours about me are already spreading... But what was that about levels... The soldier mentioned that too... Let me try concentrating on something like... A screen?"

Rath: "Absoloute... Control? What's that?"

Absoloute Control lvl 1Absoloute control gives the user of this skill Absoloute Control over selected living being or thing.

For the ghost called "Rath" this skill has been created.

It gives him at lvl 1 control over shadows. Lvl 2 control over ???

Rath: "Ahh... The info isn't good enough... Created for me? Must be the gift given to me by the goddess... Seems I can control shadows... Let me check my stats."

Rath: "Whoa! My magical power is off the roof! My strength is 0... Well... That was to be expected. I am a ghost and only use shadows to do the heavy lifting for now."

Rath wandered around the forest for a while again... But he found another slave convoy... What shall he do with this one?

We shall find that out... Next time...
