Chapter 6
After we finish dealing with the hobgoblins we head back to our base. Ghost looks the same as always, only bigger, a lot bigger about 2.5 times as big. When I checked his stats this is what it looked like this

I put the rest of the points into dex and I take out the executioner’s short sword.

Ghost sniffs the air and gestures with her tail to follow her. After following her for 5 minutes we come across a group of 5 orcs. All of them are lv 15. I use telepathy to communicate to Johanna and ghost.

'Alright let’s do this the same way we dealt with the hobgoblins' jack
'Perfect' Johanna
'Yes master' ghost
'You can talk?' jack
'No sadly I don’t have the proper structure to speak. But I can communicate to you through telepathy'
As I stare in curiosity
"What took you two so long I’ve already killed them all?"
Johanna who could not hear ghost's telepathy went ahead and completely overwhelmed the orcs.
Your pet/slave ghost has obtained the skill language comprehension (perfect)
Your pet/slave ghost's skill ranked up to telepathy
'Hello sister' ghost
"Sister?" Johanna
'You are one of master's slaves so you are my sister' ghost
"Oh I see" Johanna
'Well there is another reason but that will come to light latter' ghost
"Oh, I see.” Johanna
"What’s that about" jack
*laughs*"you'll find out soon enough" Johanna
'Master I’m hungry let’s take these orcs back to base to cook the bacon' ghost

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
