Liam leisurely strolled around the village while setting everything up. Of course, he was also searching for that beggar whom he was not really planning on leaving alone.
After doing a couple of rounds, he finally found the man sitting near the pond this time. He once again paid no attention to Liam but Liam observed everything about him.
Though the guy still seemed indifferent on the surface, his attitude had definitely changed.
Liam wandered around the village for some more time and then spent the rest of the night clearing the beasts on the outskirts of the village.
Since this was not taxing, he could both relax and earn more brownie points at the same time.
But unfortunately, things did not go as peacefully as he wanted.
Several times through the night, Liam felt the searing headache. Pain clouded his brain and his senses as the soul clinging to him kept acting up again and again.
That too the damned ghost chose the worst time to act.
At first, Liam chalked it to coincidence but soon there was a pattern. Every time he was in the middle of fighting or tackling more than he could handle, the ghost would start acting up.
"Gorak, do you now want to live anymore?" He even tried calming it down again, but the ghost did not listen to him always.
Only the words 'DIE DIE DIE' kept constantly looping in his mind.
The night passed by just like this and when dawn arrived, the villagers once again looked extremely relieved as they now had a lot more food for consumption.
When he first arrived here, the villagers were all tired, gloomy, and worn out with a murky aura hanging over their heads. But now, the entire place was full of laughter and joy.
Liam nodded and once again strolled the streets to find the beggar. "Is that guy invisible or what, why is it always so hard to find him?" He mused in slight annoyance.
Nevertheless, he kept going. He needed to persuade the damned beggar and he needed to do it soon.
With that recipe in hand, he would be able to strengthen all of his attributes significantly and he might even be able to exorcise Gorak's ghost fully out of him.
With that guy constantly screaming in his head, Liam was on the verge of going crazy.
He walked around a couple more streets and finally, he found the man. The beggar was sitting near a playground of sorts and watching the young children play in a daze.
"Hmmm?" Liam waited for a while but it was of no use. Seeing that he was once again being ignored, he could only leave.
But suddenly, just as he was about to walk away, the sky above him darkened.
The sun had risen just now and it was broad daylight outside so what could possibly cause this darkness?
Gudang! Liam instantly knew what this was! This was his second group of stalkers! The black albatross around his neck!
"Level 55? Damned ravens."
Liam cursed and quickly looked around for the best way to deal with them.
"Should I just run away?" He was just now helping everyone rebuild the village so he didn't want things to get destroyed because of the fight.
Moreover, all the birds were Level 55 this time. Things were definitely going to get tricky.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the ravens, suddenly another thought popped into his brain.
He looked at the group of children sitting near the beggar and then started running towards them.
