"Who are you?"
Nana stared in alarm and disbelief at the black-haired young man who had suddenly appeared before her.
His arrival had come without any warning, and the moment he appeared, he called her by name. He had not come with good intentions.

Her third Soul Skill, Ghost Possession, activated.
This was her lifesaving Soul Skill. It allowed her to turn into a ghost and evade all physical attacks.
But she failed to evade
