Ghosts are individuals who have died and not yet crossed over to the afterlife. Most ghosts will pass on after their life energy has been depleted, typically within about 49 days. However, it is possible for a ghost to prolong its existence by consuming other ghosts. Those that are consumed will not pass on but will instead remain in the belly of the devourer as a source of nourishment until their energy is exhausted.

Abilities
Many powerful ghosts possess unique abilities, but there are a few common abilities that most ghosts share. Ghosts can possess people, which works best with individuals whose thoughts align with theirs. Some exceptionally powerful ghosts, typically S-rank and above, can even replace people and completely take control of their bodies.
