I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

*Genesis 6187 March 8th at 3:17 PM at Vita House in Morabi City

She slowly opened her eyes. Perhaps it was because of her sleeping posture, or perhaps it was because the room was too closed, but Ella felt an unusual tightness in her chest, as if something was pressing on her chest while she was sleeping. She took a short breath and tried to change her posture to continue sleeping. Her hazy eyes, having just woken up, could not see clearly what was in front of her, but there was no need to do so. She just wanted to sleep until Ruthie came to call her for dinner.

Even though that would make the nighttime hours incredibly painful—the feeling of tossing and turning from oversleeping—the desire to "sleep now" outweighed the desire to "leave it until nighttime," so Ella closed her eyes again.

The feeling of tightness in the chest still did not go away. Not only that, a drowsy feeling also came from the head. It was not the dizziness left by disorientation after spinning in circles, but the heaviness after excessive consumption of magic power. With this feeling, Ella, who originally did not want to get up from the bed, suddenly did not want to move even more. She tightened the quilt to cover her shoulders, took a deep breath to eliminate the tightness in her chest, and then continued to fall asleep.

If Ella had focused her eyes on the status bar in her mind at this time, she would probably be able to find out the reason for this, but she didn't want to look at the status bar now. People occasionally experience this situation after waking up - a feeling of tightness in the chest and a groggy brain. Although the reasons vary, Ella has encountered this before, so it is normal that she doesn't care. After all, most of the time, just waking up and going out for a walk can end this discomfort.

“Hmm…”

I made a sound of comfort without permission from my mouth. Since I had confirmed that I was the only one in the room before going to sleep, it was okay to be casual. Now, apart from the uncomfortable cold feeling on my back after turning around, I even felt like I was surrounded by happiness.

Sleep is a way to experience happiness, especially when you are tired.

In order to erase the cold discomfort on her back - guessing it was because that part of the quilt had not been warmed up yet, so it was slightly cold - Ella shrank into the quilt and covered her head with it. Although doing so would make breathing difficult, the quilt would soon warm up. Compared to the short-term feeling of suffocation, warmth was her first need now. Moreover, the feeling of shortness of breath would bring an unusually strong sense of comfort in the initial period, which was like poison with an addictive component.

After a while, the drowsiness of falling asleep spread throughout her body again. The ridiculously soft mattress became a sleeping aid. Ella imagined the feeling of turning into liquid, and her whole body softened on the bed - except that the cold feeling on her back still made her very dissatisfied.

When people realize something is making them uncomfortable, they'll do everything they can to eliminate it. Even if the discomfort is trivial or doesn't affect their ability to function, the more they remind themselves not to dwell on it, the more intense the discomfort becomes. It's like seeing dry grass roots fall into your boots. Even though you can't feel them through your cotton socks, you still worry about whether they'll poke you at some point or stain your boots with grass juice, making them difficult to clean. Even if that's impossible, these thoughts will still trigger you to remove your boots and pour them out. Ella is in this state right now.

In order to enter the dreamland more conveniently, the impatient Ella finally decided to get rid of this discomfort. She kept her eyes closed - if she opened her eyes, she would become awake, and she didn't want to wake up yet - she stretched her right hand, which was pressed down by lying on her side, to her back, then slightly raised her upper body, trying to adjust the position of the quilt on her shoulder, but the touch from her hand was not the real feeling of touching silk or cotton, but a soft, cold and even slightly elastic mysterious touch.

The outstretched hand paused for a moment, and the feeling of clarity instantly resounded in the mind like a bomb.

“…Eh! W-What!?”

She was certain that what she had just touched was definitely not a blanket. If it wasn't a blanket, it must have been some other foreign object. A bug? A soft-bodied monster? Or someone else? Her chaotic mind didn't have time to think carefully. Ella reflexively jumped up from the bed, instantly shifting from sideways to sitting, then from sitting to half-kneeling on the bed. She raised the Pestle of Heaven's Punishment and prepared to smash it against the other person, not even noticing that a few golden hairs were already in her mouth.

"Owner."

Just as the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment was about to strike the opponent, the opponent's inorganic voice, which was like a program and had a childish sound, made Ella stop.

"Eh?"

"magic."

The other party - a translucent humanoid creature that looked like a ghost, crawled out from under the quilt like Ella, then knelt on the bed sheet, not caring at all about the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment that was about to hit him, and stared into Ella's eyes with emotionless eyes.

Perhaps because Ella didn't respond for a long time and she was confused, or perhaps because she thought Ella didn't hear her words, the ghost girl emphasized it again with a few words.

"magic."

“Eh? Ehhhhhhhh!!!?”

A stress reaction that she didn't have even when facing the black dragon instantly appeared in Ella. As if she had seen something terrifying, Ella immediately twisted her knees to dodge backwards, and finally retreated to the edge of the soft bed and fell under the bed.

“Hiss… it hurts… it hurts…”

While rubbing the back of her head, which might have been swollen, Ella placed the hand holding the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment on the bed. The pain that spread throughout her body and almost made her cry brought her back to consciousness.

With one eye closed, Ella observed the person sitting on the bed in a daze. There was no doubt that the other person was a ghost, as clearly shown on the "Low-level Identification". In addition, the other person looked about the same age as herself, or perhaps smaller. Although her body was a transparent lavender that was almost invisible, her body shape and the fact that she was not wearing clothes could still be seen at a glance. If there was anything about the other person that was different from the ghost girl she saw in Ryan Town, it would be that the girl in front of her had hair and eyes of a different color from her body. She had lifeless shoulder-length gray-white hair and unusually bright red eyes.

Because the ghost girl had a petite figure that was no less than that of Fukagan, and the sense of guilt brought about by her not wearing any clothes was too strong, Ella, who had half of her body leaning over the edge of the bed, could not help but turn her head and turn her gaze to the floor.

The other party was a small ghost whose level was less than 3, so there was nothing to be afraid of. In addition, the ghost had shown signs of wanting to communicate with her before, and was now sitting obediently on the bed without moving. Therefore, Ella, who had regained her senses, tried to communicate.

"……Who are you?"

Chapter 36 Eve Nott Mistytin

"……Who are you?"

"no."

"No?"

The words were too brief for him to understand, so he could only continue to ask, but the other party kept repeating what he had said, omitting a lot of content.

"no."

"...Does that mean there's no name? Hmm... there's definitely no name on the status bar."

"Um."

A weak voice came out of the ghost girl's mouth. At the same time, the girl's translucent lavender body became even thinner, as if it would disappear at any time. Perhaps she herself had noticed this, and the ghost girl prayed to Ella in a slightly anxious tone.

"magic."

"Magic power? Is it lack of magic power?"

"Um."

Looking at the ghost girl's status bar again, the upper limit of 3 points of magic power has now been exhausted. Combined with the looming body, Ella couldn't help but think of the setting that magic power would disappear when it was exhausted. She immediately climbed back into the bed. In order to avoid embarrassment, she lifted the quilt and covered her with it - no matter what, she couldn't remain calm and look directly at the naked girl.

However, something unexpected happened. Without encountering any resistance, the thin blanket passed directly through the ghost girl's body and fell smoothly back onto the mattress, as if the ghost girl did not exist.

"It really is a ghost... How did you get under the covers earlier?"

Ella frowned. If the ghost hadn't crawled into the quilt, she wouldn't have felt a cold touch on her back all the time. But now the quilt could easily pass through her body, which was really an incredible feeling. But continuing to worry about these things seemed like missing the point. It was more important to replenish the girl's magic power first and prevent her from disappearing.

"Can I have a magic potion?"

While speaking, Ella took out a bottle of the lowest quality magic potion from the warehouse. Although using high-grade magic potion would not hurt people, excessive magic power supplementation would still make people feel bloated. Without knowing the ghost ecology, it would be better to choose a safe option.

As if unable to understand what Ella meant, the ghost girl did not give any answer, still looking at Ella with her emotionless red eyes.

After a pause, Ella scratched her messy blonde hair with some worry because she had just gotten up.

"Hmm... If the blanket can pass through, then it must not touch objects. In that case, the magic potion will be useless. Does it need to be infused with magic power like an item? But normally, it will be repelled..."

Unless one possesses special skills, magic cannot be transferred between two creatures at will. For example, after Lotte uses up her magic, even if Ella is talented in magic control, she cannot directly give her magic to Lotte. The magic will be rejected by Lotte herself when it is transferred to her. This is a common sense rule similar to "the sun rises in the east and sets in the west", which cannot be changed from the surface or deep consciousness. Moreover, even if one has the skill of "magic transfer", the efficiency of conducting magic will not exceed 50%. It is better to use magic potions directly to replenish it. That is why Ella feels embarrassed now.

Magical potions might pass through the body, but direct injection of magic power would be repelled.

[There's nothing I can do... If there's no third option, I can only try them one by one.]

Thinking of this, Ella pursed her lips, twisted her body and moved in front of the ghost girl, politely focusing her eyes only on the ghost girl's face. As for the part she saw at the edge of her vision, it was force majeure, and she could only try her best to control herself and not care.

[…If you look closely, she’s pretty, even though she looks so young.]

The curves of the ghost girl's face are not very soft, so she does not look childish. If she grows up - if ghosts can grow up - she will definitely be a girl of Iris's level. Although she will be slightly less attractive, her temperament should be the type that does not allow people to have evil thoughts.

"In any case, let's try the magic potion first."

At least magic potions wouldn't be as dangerous as injecting magic directly.

Using her thumb to push open the cork, Ella tilted the medicine bottle, which was as thick as her little finger, at a certain angle. The light blue liquid slowly gathered in the palm of her hand. When there were less than three drops left in the bottle, Ella stopped pouring. Since ghosts could not touch objects, she could only feed the magic potion into the ghost girl's mouth.

"It might be a little rude, but can I just pour it into my mouth?"

"Um."

The ghost nodded slightly, then raised his head and opened his mouth, agreeing to Ella's proposal.

Seeing the ghost girl's appearance, Ella not only felt like she had turned into a female bird that caught insects and fed them to her chicks, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth with a smile, and then tentatively poured out a drop of the magic potion.

The magic potion fell accurately into the ghost girl's mouth, but just like the original sheet, it fell onto the bed sheet without encountering any resistance, gradually expanding into a drop of dark water stain.

The ghost girl tilted her head, looking as if she was expressing confusion.

"Magic potion won't work... I can only try injecting magic power. If that doesn't work, I'll go find Camisia or Iris."

But if even Camisia or Iris can't do anything... Ella didn't want to go any further. She frowned, expelled the messy thoughts in her mind, threw the magic potion on her left hand to the ground, then stretched out her hand and instructed the ghost girl to stretch out her hand as well. Surprisingly, when the ghost girl put her hand on hers, it was as if she had touched a solid entity, and there was no intention of passing through her hand. Moreover, she could also feel the cold, soft and slightly elastic touch of the ghost girl's hand. If she had to describe it, it was a bit like jelly, but softer.

Looking at the lavender hand that was even smaller than her own, Ella took a deep breath. The ghost girl was now even thinner than before, almost as if she was about to disappear. It was certain that if the method of injecting magic power also failed, the ghost girl in front of her might not be able to wait until she returned to find Camisia.

[Success depends on this, please! ]

Gathering her energy in her chest, Ella slowly injected 1 point of magic power into the ghost girl's palm with the same precision as when mixing a magic potion.

The moment the magic power touched the ghost girl, Ella instantly lost control of that trace of magic power, just like a drop of water falling into the sea. But what is certain is that the magic power was not rejected. If it was rejected, it would not have been this reaction.

Ella raised her head excitedly and looked at the ghost girl's body. It was much clearer than before, at least not the kind that was vague and about to disappear.

"--call."

Ella breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she had used up all the energy she had recovered from her previous sleep.

"Well, now that I've confirmed that I can inject magic power into you to prevent you from disappearing, can you tell me about your story?"

I have helped her maintain her existence, so now I should find out why she found me and why she suddenly appeared in the room. Although she may not have any bad intentions, it would be better to confirm it in advance.

"Owner."

"Hey, hey, I don't mean that! Helping someone and then asking them to call you master or something like that is weird, right?"

Speaking of this, Ella couldn't help but have a strange feeling, just like when playing the piano and finding that one of the keys is out of tune, a subtle sense of disharmony.

"Come to think of it...did you call me Master from the beginning?"

"Yes."

"ha?"

If the ghost girl denied it, I could accept it. After all, it was normal to have heard it wrongly in the previous situation. But now she agreed. For a moment, I couldn't help but search for the reason for this situation in my mind.

"I don't think I've ever come into contact with undead creatures. If I had to, I'd only cleared out skeletons and zombies in the underground tower. But there shouldn't have been any ghosts back then. And ghosts aren't likely to develop intelligence, after all. This ghost, aside from lacking emotions, is completely indistinguishable from a human. Normally, it should be a very high-level ghost..."

Not only that, but the most crucial question was, could I, Eleraya Nott Mistytin, be the kind of person who would bring a young girl to bed? It would be fine if it were just that, but to do it without even wearing any clothes, was certain that even if I magnified my courage tenfold and then lowered my sense of morality and shame tenfold, I would never do such a thing.

So this situation must have happened because the other party recognized the wrong owner and mistook himself for someone else. With the ability to penetrate objects, it is not strange for him to pass through walls. Although we need to question the original owner's habit of not allowing ghosts to wear clothes - no, maybe it is because he can't wear clothes and has no choice but to do it now.

Thinking of this, Ella looked down at the legs of the ghost girl kneeling on the bed. Just as she had imagined, the ghost girl did not touch the bed directly, but was floating on the bed at a distance. At the same time, because of the action of lowering her head, her eyes also caught a glimpse of the ghost girl's seductive action of clamping her hands between her legs. Although she had no such intention at all, it was an extremely strong shock to her.

Immediately turning her eyes to the side, Ella raised her hand to cover her slightly red cheeks to confirm.

"Could it be that I recognized the wrong master? I don't remember seeing you before."

"Pendant."

A slight sound of metal clashing rang in her ears, and Ella turned her head back to the ghost. Surprisingly, the ghost girl who could not touch objects was holding a pendant formed by the staff of holy light.

"A pendant?"

"Pendant."

"I don't understand what you're saying! Can't you use a longer sentence?"

It was certain that the other party was not the type of person with a dull personality. If the underwater princess Tina initially communicated in short sentences because she had lost her memory and was timid, then the ghost girl in front of him simply did not want to use long sentences - all her previous performances showed that the other party was rational.

Sure enough, when Ella was a little crazy, the ghost girl used a long sentence to explain - it was a long sentence compared to her previous words.

"Pendant, residence."

"...Are you saying that because you live in the Staff of Holy Light, you recognize me as your master?"

If this is the case, the question of why the other party calls him master is easily solved. The Staff of Holy Light has the ability to recognize its master, and as the current owner of the Staff of Holy Light, the ghost living inside will also recognize him as the master. However, this will create new problems.

First of all, the Staff of Holy Light is undoubtedly an item with sacred attributes, and items with sacred aura are the natural enemies of undead creatures. Considering the strength of the ghost girl in front of him who is less than level 5, she will be purified just by touching it.

Secondly, how ghosts can inhabit magical weapons is also very questionable.

However, despite the doubts, the fact is that this ghost is indeed holding the Holy Light Staff with sacred attributes in its hand, and there is no sign of being purified. Not only that, if I have to say, I also have a subtle impression that the two are of the same kind.

The ghost girl nodded in response to Ella's words, and her gray-white medium-length hair, which looked messy due to lack of care, swayed along.

"Yes."

"Living in a pendant?... Living in a pendant... Living inside a pendant..."

Although she wanted to convince herself that the other party was a being like a weapon spirit or a tsukumogami, she just couldn't accept it in her heart. After all, she had never noticed anything unusual when she wore it before. Finally, Ella couldn't help it, so she approached the ghost girl's face and emphasized each word with a serious expression.

"Can you demonstrate it?"

"magic."

"Does it require magic power to show it? No problem."

Since the ghost girl's magic limit was only 3 points, Ella only injected the remaining 2 points of magic, which was just enough to reach saturation. However, unexpectedly, not only did the ghost girl's body transparency decrease significantly, but even her magic limit and level increased to varying degrees.

The magic power limit changes from 3 to 5, and the level also becomes level 7.

"Huh, has it grown?"

"magic."

"She's the type that grows... well, it's not that big of a deal."

After filling up the magic power again, the ghost girl's level also changed again. The magic power limit changed from 5 to 7, and the level became level 8.

After this process was repeated three or four times, the ghost girl finally stopped growing and eventually became a level 12 ghost.

What shocked Ella was not the level, but the appearance of the ghost girl.
