Introduction

Hello, thank you for reading my story, I know I have another story within this game but for a while, for a long time I had a hard time adjusting to my life and to try to discover my identity as my relation with my family ended abruptly. For a long time, I stopped writing, painting, photographing and creating any type of content because I didn't have the motivation, I wasn't burned, I simply didn't have that will to live.

On that lack of will of living, I stopped doing everything I once enjoyed and in the process I committed two attempts of suicide in the last 3 years; they fail, they gave me a perspective with life and after seeking help I gained a desire to keep moving forward and growing, not wanting to be attached to the past emotionally, but rather to learn of my mistakes and life experience.

On the process of regaining the creativity I started to see how horrible people can be online; a few of them wishing me dead because I wrote a fan fiction that upset them, talking about the fragility of certain type of people that get offended because of a fan fiction - they are pathetic excuses of human beings, who think they are "tough" for me they are shitty for not being able to set a proper conversation instead of going into ad-hominem to diminish someone else.

From those experience, from the parental rejection, to learn to enjoy solitude, to find my own self as well to know who friends and family are, this is where this fan fiction comes from. A journey to not fear death, not to fear life, but to learn to live with the process of what it makes us humans. This is just the way I wanted my first incomplete Luigi's fan fiction to be.

Chapter One

The Eyes in the Walls

"Professor, the mansion seems to be alive, as is an entity of itself, is so cold here also"

"Luigi, I am too old to go inside and catch ghost, right now we need to find your brother as well my Toads, they got absorbed by the mansion when it appeared"

"Professor, I feel you aren't telling me everything…"

"Mah boy, I am…"

"Then why, you ended up in a lab below?"

"Ahhhh…."

"Exactly as I imagined, you will have to tell me everything…"

"Luigi, you are the only one in the Mushroom Kingdom who can see ghosts without any aids"

"Don't give me that excuse professor, anyone can see the Boo's"

"Is not like that mah child, people can see them when they manifest but when they are in the ethereal state no one else can, not even Mario"

"I am surprised he got captured for a second time, he's probably becoming old"

"Don't say that. How far away are you from the mansion?"

"I am on the main gates, this thing looks like is breathing, I could see it in the distance, but this is creepier as you get by, is as is looking at me, waiting to devour my soul"

"If something happens, I will teleport you to safety"

"Did that work out with your assistants?"

"What assistants?" Replied the professor with a big laugh coming from the Game Boy of horrors.

As Luigi walked in to the main patio, he noticed there was barely any signs of life around him; the mansion was an entity, always looking, always judging, every window was an eye, it was a beast of magnificent proportions in the best style of the Victorian era from Earth, the little details around the windows and how the wood touched every single part gave it an old charming look.

He opened the door slowly; it made a screeching sound that he found uncomfortable, but he kept walking. He heard a tiny little cry coming from the corner that made him jump, but he started to scan his surrounding, he checked on his Poltergust-3K to see if it was functioning, the vacuum started to suck in to the air as well his flashlight was working without any problem.

"Hello…." Nobody answer, it was as he was alone, but he was feeling observed, as he kept walking, the faint cry was coming not far away from him, he turned on his light and flashed on the spot that he could hear the cry, then there was this tiny little Toad that was one of the assistants from Professor Elvin.

He approached slowly, and ask him if he was OK? The little Toad replied with a smile that he was feeling so-so, and suddenly the lights turned on. To Luigi's surprise the poor little thing was dead, he became a ghost of the mansion, which almost made him fall backwards due the impression.

Toad's legs were completely gone, and he was floating in the air, he was almost translucid but still somewhat corporeal. "I died…" He said with a voice that was almost impossible to hear, Luigi wanted to call the professor for answers, but he opted to wait to not upset the little Toad. "Do you know where the others are?" Luigi asked him.

"No, there was a flash and we were separated across the mansion"

"Do you know what that mirror is for?" Said Luigi asking for a mirror that was covered in a blanket next to the stairs in the foyer.

"Is to teleport back to the foyer from any other location if you use your GameBoy Horror, but there is a catch, the ghosts can use it too, so be careful please Luigi"

"I will"

As Luigi walked away from the Toad, he noticed the lights turned on automatically, he wondered if the Toad was affecting the electric circuit or if it was the other ghosts of the mansion that knew he was there. The interior of the foyer was extremely exquisite, beautiful as you can imagine like an old castle, covered in paintings of the forest that surrounded the premises, but he was wondering too how those painting came to be? If they were part of the illusion that erected the mansion.

His other curiosity came to appear quickly, he tried to access his pyrotechnic and abilities related to the negative zone, but they were essentially suppressed. He was curious to know what force in the universe could hold his powers? And also to create such a powerful construct.

"Professor, your assistants are dead" Luigi said on the GameBoy, "at least one of them is dead, his ghost is stuck in the mansion, I don't think any other survived, if Mario still alive that would be a miracle"

"Mah child why you said it?" E. Gadd was curious, "is a shame they died, I can probably re-spawn them if you find me any remains, besides Toads are asexual in terms of reproduction" Luigi's blood froze, when he realized that probably E. Gadd's assistants had been cloned over 60 years, since he never posted job search for interns or any other assistants, but he didn't wanted to ask any more questions.

The mansion seemed to be bigger than looked outside, there was so much sorrow in the walls, as if the souls that composed were enslaved by something else. A long time ago, Neville was walking in the anteroom, he came from a family in Essex and found refuge in the Estate that belonged to his wife Lydia, there he found some happiness, and some comfort; the views of the forest always made him happy but it was the study where he found his peace.

Peace that didn't lasted forever, because there is no forever; there was blood, there was pain, the ball became a massacre, everyone died, everyone was dead, he was the last one standing where suddenly he got gunned down, he didn't knew what happened, as he died he didn't feel he was going anywhere and when he woke up, he saw himself in front of another ghost.

"Who are you? You are not a member of the mansion" Said Neville, with some stuttering in his voice. "Where are my wife and children?"

"They are on their own respective rooms, but I will ask you to help me cooperate as you have no other choice" Said the ghost.
