The Coming of Light

I'm someone with a little money who does absolutely nothing all day.

But every day, I have countless worries, and money isn't the problem. I've come down with an illness that countless hospitals have failed to cure. One dark and stormy night, outside a hospital, I met someone who changed my life forever.

Dressed all in black beneath the moonlight, the person showed only half their face. I seemed to see an arrogant, conceited figure who finally said to me, "Do you want eternal life? Go find him, and the secret of immortality will appear before your eyes. With eternal life, you'll find the medicine that can cure you, and you'll live forever."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished before my eyes. I thought I'd seen a ghost. I was about to head back to the hospital, my hand in my pocket, when my left hand felt something there: an object like a jade seal, but carved all over with skulls. It must be a Ghost Seal.
