Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.-Chapter 469 - 447. Gilf (G for a Ghost)

"E….mail?"

Ghost cutely tilted her head in confusion in her teenage form putting her transparent index finger on her lower lips as she asked Alex in curiosity, hearing such a new word for her.

".....You don't know what email is? Wait, Do you know about I mail?"

Alex wanted to end this conversation fearing things going south couldn't help but stop and ask her out of utter disbelief someone not know what email is in this day and age.

So he asked for a more well known email name, I mail, short for the infinity mail, a big search engine company which brought many internet related things and now one of the most earning companies in the world.

Because there might be confusion if ghost is a young one, he asked for a different name.

"..."

Ghost just tilted her head sideways in confusion looking at him for answers. She doesn't know what he is talking about and such mails.

She is a ghost, She knows ghost stuff not whatever new stupidity living created.

".....It's mail, you know paper letter type but well without using paper."

Alex sees a ghost not knowing one of the biggest companies of the century felt dread in his heart.

Because this is what he calls the worst situation, this ghost is old.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, as an adherent follower of "If there hole, there is a goal" along with "gotta catch em all" philosophy, he is not going to walk away from the good Gilf (Ghost) but there is a tine-tiny issue.

Ghost get more vengeful and dangerous the older they get,becomes more corrupted losing their sense of self and only going by their own instincts.

The stronger a living was,the higher the shelf life of their soul would be but again they are even more dangerous when they lose their sense of self losing to the primal instincts.

'She didn't know about what even E-mail is so she is either an older ghost or cunning either way this is not good news for me.' 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Alex said to himself in mind as he tried to think of the best way to deal with the ghost just in case things go south.

"Letter?...what's t-that?"

Ghost meanwhile didn't care what gymnastics Alex was going through, She was more curious about the words he was saying to her, the ones she never heard before.

First was E-mail and now Letters, being inherently curious even when she was living, she got more curious in death as there was nothing else to do.

Her form though was not shifting anymore fixing to the teenager one, She was getting translucent little by little as time went by and sun was rising in the sky.

So she didn't have much time yet she was also being pulled towards Alex like some invisible string dragging her forward, towards the destination she wanted to be near in presence.

"....You don't know what letters are?"

Alex was flabbergasted looking at her in shock asking her once again just to make sure he did not misheard her, though it is impossible as he being half step SS-Rank and having the SSE-Rank Supreme Beastlord physique.

Still it is easier to believe he misheard her than to think she does not even know one of the oldest means of message transportation mediums.

"....."

Ghost girl just shook her head left and right to say she really didn't know what he was talking about. She never heard of this word letter.

Then she cutely tugged the hem of his shirt as she put her index finger on her lower lips shyly.

'How old this ghost is?!!'

Alex in shock asked himself how old this woman actually was before she became a ghost?

And if she is that old then why is she still not corrupted and become feral like ghosts often turn into?

'Should I just attack first to test her strength?'

He asked clenching his fist unconsciously, his palm started to sweat for some reason, maybe anxiety, excitement or the mixture of the both, all he knew he wasn't able to figure out this ghost making him restless.

Can he not just use Eyes of Truth to figure out? Of course he can but he also has control freak nature, along with an obsession to figure out things on his own.

That's why unless necessary like the protagonist and all he doesn't like to use on the others.

[Ding! Warning, it's detected that the host is about to do something dangerous, please don't attack the ghost, The Host's surviving chances are 99.99%, The Host's Winning chances are 0.01%, it's highly recommended not to attack the ghost.]

The system, seeing its ghost was about to do something dangerous…..again, jumped and warned him about danger.

A fact is even with all his advantage, it's the morning, a time for creatures of dark to get weaker he still can't beat this ghost.

'What the fuck do you mean? Are you mistaken? I am a half-step SS-Rank. How can anyone stand a chance against me?'

Alex asked the system in an utmost horror, He was being this nonchalant because last night he got power up making him half-step SS-Rank awakened warrior along with physique and bloodline upgrades.

He didn't think anyone in the current plot could even stand a chance as at best they were all early to mid S-Rank.

S-Rank were not even supposed to come out this early, they are mid plot powerhouses, Then SS-Rank barely appears in the late plot and yet the system says he can't even beat a ghost?

Know that ghosts are a lot weaker than people they are made from.

*Muttering inaudibly* "Can't have just one easy day here for once?"

He said under his breath, cursing his fate of not having one single day…..well everyone knows he is shameless and just wanted to be a lazy villain.

"T-Tell me….wh-whats letter?"

The ghost girl got close to him asking in an innocent voice dropping the temperature inside the elevator a few degrees below freezing point but Alex still broke out in cold sweat, because he just used the Eye of Truth on her.

(A/N : Sorry for delay guys, I was sick and well got sick again (cold), well then got cold again because weather wasn't able to decide it's summer, winter, fall or monsoon and so it was going through all that in one day, speedrunning, If you wondering how can i fall sick like that? Well average AQI here is 400 this month, So….It is not that strange.

Like always thank you for reading and have a good day.)
