He grown a little again, and his face matured a bit.

While settling in the woods.

before he gets to the kingdom he must pass through the forest of dark Narras and swamp of Lolong. And restock because it would be a long journey.

Goodthing, Louie found a in the middle of forests. it is said it's called "Kapasigan" it's more modernize than Marikeños Village but people here are cold, gloomy, quiet, it's like your in a ghost town

"What the, there's a village inside a forests that's so unusual, but anyway let's restock, and get on my way, before it gets dark."

"Whoaa, there's so much stuff in here, it's so advance than the Marikeños stuff, despite in the middle of forests, and it's affordable too HAHAHAHA"

"OK, that's enough it's time to leave, this place is so strange but anyways imma out of here heh-"

"What the f**k!! What is happening, the sun is still on setting when i entered this shop just a while ago, why is it now night suddenly"

Louie was convinced to stay for the night,

Surprisingly he enjoyed staying because in the inn they had hot spa and fine dinner.

"Ohhhh that i haven't had a decent bathe for a while, thats was refreshing, and that food was so delicious"

"Ohhh why do i feel tired all of a sudden, i guess i shall head to the bed"

Louie sleeps comfortly

After a while he had a dream he hears a voice of girl saying "get out of here....."

Louie Wakes up out of fright, he wokes with a sweat all over his body as if something is messing with his body

He went to the bathroom to clean up, he looked at the mirror to clean his face, and what he saw there scared him, a ghost of a girl appeared before him

"Oi, what the fuccckkk!! There's a ghosttt!!!"

"Mistterr... they're aswang"

"Huh? An Aswang?"

The Attendants rushes to him, the ghost disappears suddenly

The attendant ask Louie

"what's the matter, master Louie"

The attendant ask him with a serious face

"There was a ghost in here, i think it's haunting me "

He remembered what the ghost said, that there is aswang in here

Louie recalled the information about Aswangs

Aswang are like zombies but they have one conciousness, the Aswang can acquire body by putting a parasite in someone then eat it's host's heart, the curse of the eaten people by aswang, their spirits gets stucked in the body as a fuel for the aswang, and sustain them by eating the strength of a infected aswang is spar with heneral tikbalang. Aswang have big slender physique and sharp claws and teeth, sometimes morph into human shape to decieve, but you can tell if it is an aswang if you look in their eyes, if the eye's reflection is inverted upside down they are aswang.

Louie tried to look in the attendant

"The attendant ask "what's the matter mister?"

"Nothing, it's just i saw something in the mirror, but i am okay now, you can go now"

The attendant left

"Holy s**t, i need to get out of here, i might be one of his zombies if i don't get out soon"

"Whooo, i'm so exhausted what's happening?"

Louie sneakily ran away from the village, as he ran into the woods he saw a light from the distance, it gave him a hope but when he arrive it was still the village he ran from, it's like infinite loop.

"What is this! Im losing my mind, i keep coming back"

Louie run from every direction but still ending up in the village of aswangs

While Louie worrying, the ghost appeared again and talk to him

"Mister... there someone casting a high skill of illusion to you"

"Waaahhh!!!! Wa-itt it's all illusion??, so you're here to help me not to haunt me ?"

"Why didn't you say so"

"Whaaat, i tell it to you whenever i had a chance, bu you always scream!! What a baby"

"You must dispell this illusion magic to get back to the reality"

The Aswang gathered and cornered Louie

"f**k were done"

He can't think of anything to do so he just cast multiple area damage skill in the sorroundings and destroy everything

"Activate combination skill: Dustdevil, Tsunami, thunderstorm"

Louie cancel the Illusion magic and found himself in an some kind of torre with a flesh wall from corpses.

"So i've been taking a bath, eating, and sleeping in this digusting fleshy thing?!"

Louie Vommit

The ghost replied

"Actually it is really a village once but out of nowhere this torre appeared and destroyed the village, the village survived the event but they died from the attack of the aswang, and it turned them to aswang"

"So i need i'll just need to free the, then"

"Wait! No"

Louie attacked the aswangs and successfully killed them

But the Aswang came back to life, their wounds back to it's original state

"No, you're just hurting thier souls, mister, their sould is bind to their body, their souls is used as fuel to revive them , please don't hurt them anymore"

"Kill the bastard who put them there"

"What that wasn't in the almanac, that so new discovery"

"And another thing so they can cat illusion in you?"

"No mister, it was cast from another Halimaw"

The ghost looked up in the massive ceiling and point something and said it's her.
