System: Parallel World
Chapter 11: Lila

"Vaaa .. ugh. I could have fallen asleep. Maybe I was really exhausted" said Riyan staring at the surroundings. The hot water he was using was already cold, it meant that he was asleep for an hour more.

"It's getting colder .. I have to get hot!?"

Riyan wanted to be mentally exhausted, but his eyes caught something unusual. Just a mysterious shadow. Nor does he take it seriously. But, his wild thoughts had already passed.

"Huh, don't think that's weird! Where there may be ghosts, yes 'kan——"

However, what he saw next caused him to scream and fall into the bath again.

"Ghost, ghost!" Riyan shouted a little hysterically as his wide eyes stared at the bathroom wall in front of him, where a human head emerged from the wall.

The figure was also surprised by the reaction that Riyan showed, and in a feminine, female-like voice, the figure said "W-you can see me?!"

'D-he can talk?!' riyan panicked in her heart.

"Hey! Answer me! Can you see me?!" The figure asked him again. Riyan sat in the bathtub with a confused expression on her face.

After a moment of silence, Riyan stood up and pretended like nothing had happened. He tried to calm himself.

Riyan rinsed his body for a few seconds before exiting the bathroom, completely ignoring the ghostly figure.

'I'm just going to pretend I can't see it. If he thought that I could see him, it would most likely haunt me constantly!' riyan thought as she dried her body with a towel.

After wearing the only outfit he had, the bathrobe he found in the bathroom, Riyan went straight to sleep. Well, pretend to sleep.

The female figure continued to hover around the bed. Riyan got distracted, his eyebrows twitched, his acting was at stake.

Meanwhile, his mind screamed. He's a little scared. Especially after knowing that the figure is really a ghost.

'Ah, fuck! Why don't you leave immediately? I can't see you! I can't see you!' inner Riyan who is still trying to pretend to sleep.

Then the ghost floated directly above Riyan, silently staring at his slightly handsome face.

"You're pretty bad at pretending, you know? I know you can see me. I'm not an evil spirit, so you don't have to be vigilant."

"..."

'Sounds suspicious! Like something an evil spirit would say!' riyan's mind was still chortling to pretend to sleep. Even though it's been found out.

"If you open your eyes now, I will show you my beautiful breasts!" The unexpected words coming out of the female ghost made Riyan's face unconsciously twitch.

That means you will be the first! All you have to do is open your eyes! Then you can pamper your eyes with this seductive body!"

"..."

Riyan was not fooled by the deception of the ghost and kept his eyes closed. Who would want to grape a translucent chest?

The ghost sighed after seeing Riyan who was not caught in his trap.

After a moment of silence, the ghost spoke in a threatening voice, "If you don't open your eyes now, I will possess your body and make you run around the academy naked!"

Hearing such a terrible threat, Riyan opened his eyes, and he shouted, "Don't you dare to do that!"

When he opened his eyes, he could finally see the ghost floating on top of him.

'Damn .. I didn't think she could be this beautiful. Who would have thought that ghosts could be this beautiful! Eh? Wait, don't be fooled! They were beings capable of being changeable, perhaps it was not their true form!'

This was Riyan's first thought when he saw the ghost clearly for the first time.

Due to the mist from the hot water, he was unable to see the ghost clearly while in the bathroom, but now he saw it without anything blocking his sight, he could see the ghost very clearly.

This ghost had long, unraveling white hair expanding behind him like a breeze, long eyelashes, and he had two very beautiful ruby-like red eyes. His body is pretty slim and ideal.

It has long, slender legs, and a pale complexion that makes it look like it was created from snow. He also looks the same age as Riyan, and he also wears the same uniform that the students in this academy wear.

Seeing Riyan's confused expression, the female ghost smiled, "Are you disappointed that I'm not naked? Or are you afraid of my appearance?"

Riyan frowned and said, "I don't care about your naked body, nor am I afraid of you. Anyway, who are you? Are you really a ghost? And what do you want from me?" Riyan bombarded the ghost with questions.

The ghost looked a little surprised by his reply.

"I'm not really a ghost, because I'm not really dead, I'm what you call 'Spirit'."

"What difference?" asked Riyan frowned.

"For a fool like you, let me explain. Spirits are living things that do not have a physical body. My physical body may be long gone, but my soul is fine, and it makes me a Spirit."

"By the way, I have a name. Lilac. Nice to meet you, Riyan from another world." The spirit who claimed to be named Lila smiled.

"What——?! How can you ..." Riyan's eyes widened in shock.
