My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 113

#113

Party disbanding (2)

Harley ran through the forest at high speed.

Unlike the previous time, it was an incredibly pleasant hike without any monsters attacking him…

It was after hunting a lot of monsters nearby, and more than anything, the overwhelming madness radiating from his body instilled a sense of kinship in them.

“hmm! “I like this!” Harley

mutters

loudly even while running.

As I became a dragon and my storage capacity increased significantly, I was eating meat with the intention of replenishing my energy.

One thing that was unusual was that he was not using both hands right now.

“We’re almost there. “Then shall we have one last meal?”

Harley, who had already eaten all the meat that was floating in front of her mouth, quenched her appetite and took out another piece of meat from the subspace magic tool.

Immediately afterwards, a green flash passed through his left eye.

A large piece of meat escaped his hand and became fixed in the air.

Up to this point, it was no different from before, but this ability did not end there.

Chiiik—

The temperature of the dragon meat rose rapidly, and soon it became golden brown and began to give off an appetizing smell.

The “Jewel Eye: Coercion” that evolved this time was not a simple telekinetic power, but a power that forced a phenomenon in conjunction with the “Heart of the Light Dragon” that synchronized with the surrounding mana.

“Hahaha—! After all, civilized people should eat cooked meat! “It’s so sweet!”

The barbarian warrior Harley smiled in satisfaction and ate the meat fixed in the space in front of his mouth again.

‘As expected, it’s convenient in many ways.’

An ability that can be activated with will and can increase output at will.

But of course, this also had its drawbacks.

It was not a sophisticated method like magic, the phenomenon that could be achieved was monotonous, and above all, the energy efficiency was not very good.

In other words, Harley was currently using her energy to grill meat to replenish her energy.

‘…Still, the only way to get used to it is to use it often. ‘If we improve efficiency in the future, things will get better.’

Also, the immediate energy supply and demand situation was not that bad.

Because it was dragon meat full of life force, it had a lot of energy.

It wasn’t long before I ate all the freshly cut meat.

Harley, whose equipment was all tattered from the fight with the dragon, finally reunited with the group she had lost.

***

A large garden surrounded by a high wall and a three-story house built in the middle of it.

This place, located on the outskirts of Seoul, was my new home.

The space is large and there are many rooms, so each room is filled with various necessary facilities.

So that you can enjoy sufficient leisure life without having to go outside, including exercise equipment and entertainment facilities.

‘Now I can go out as I please. ‘Maybe it’s because I’m used to it, but it’s more comfortable this way.’

Is this an effect of being confined to the house for so long?

I decorated my house as if I were decorating a hideout, filling it with the romance I had been thinking about.

‘If I use “Object Projection” with Harris about once a week and utilize natural power, gardening will be no problem.’

Dealing with nature to this extent was nothing to Harris, an elf, so it was no problem no matter how large the garden was.

Since it was a suburban area, the air wasn’t as bad as in the city, so I was able to endure it to some extent.

‘Just in case, I’ll have to install a lot of crime prevention devices. ‘I have to lay down everything I can.’

Of course, it included not only electronic devices but also magical barriers.

You can borrow the power of various talented people such as Hans Heinz II Heinrich, so there is no reason not to use it.

All you have to do is choose the ones you need and use them.

“Tskcha.”

While organizing the luggage I brought from the basement storage room, I straightened my back and looked to one side.

In fact, it took a long time to prepare the facilities, so it was very busy not long after we moved in, but

now I have something to do for a while. At that time

,

a human figure quietly appeared in front of me, who was alone in the silence.

A cold-looking handsome man with red eyes, pale skin, and a black tailcoat.

It was Heinz II, a vampire who had just returned from another world.

“…….”

Heinz took out Dwarf Zaonic’s favorite pickaxe ‘Eline’ from his subspace bracelet and handed it over.

I accepted it naturally without saying anything and looked at it slowly.

There were countless small scratches on the shiny blue metal, and it felt like it had been used for a long time, but it didn’t feel worn, probably because it had been well maintained.

I guess you could say it looks like a well-maintained antique.

‘I feel sorry for Zaonic. Still, you have to think of it as the price of your life.’

At that time, Harley was just joining the group on the Outerica side.

Zaonic, who saw him return in tatters, was desperately looking for a pickaxe and was pricked by his conscience when he saw him slump down…

but instead, thanks to Harley, he was able to return safely!

After listening to the story, it seemed like he was a little less attached to the equipment than the equipment in the blacksmith shop, but if it weren’t for him, he would never have seen them again, so this was a win-win.

“Hmm….”

After trying hard to rationalize myself, I quietly ignored the situation and cleared my throat lightly.

‘Let’s see, let Heinz help with this work and then send him to Heterosis.’

Heinz had already quietly gone outside and was in the process of setting up a barrier using “Mystery of Blood” and “Concealment” around the garden.

If energy leaked out unnecessarily, it could have attracted unnecessary attention, so security was strengthened by thoroughly emphasizing secrecy.

‘There’s no problem with Hans’ Bone Dragon.’

Originally, I was a little worried because this dragon needed a dragon heart to become its core, but nothing was impossible for our Hans.

「Immortal Heart」, 「Evil Wisdom」, 「Forbidden Knowledge」, 「Way of Sorcery」, 「Eye of the Abyss」, 「Magic Control」…

As all the skills he has are directly or indirectly related to black magic, if he truly steps forward, he will become a devil. It wasn’t even a little bit of alcohol.

Taking inspiration from the Lich’s method of transmitting dark magic remotely from an extracted source, he connected himself and the Bone Dragon Heratos more closely.

So that he can supply the energy he needs instead of the Dragon Heart.

To put it simply, Hans himself became the source of Heratos.

‘Instead, since the two can’t be far apart, it’s difficult to move alone, but in that case, I can send other guys, so it doesn’t really matter.’

Instead of Entracio, Heratos could have been used as Hans’ private car.

“Then let’s start settling the bill!”

In order to create a new avatar, you must strengthen your unique skills and increase the number of avatars you have.

That would require a lot of karma, but I wasn’t particularly worried about that.

There have been quite a few big things happening so far.

‘Not much time has passed since I last obtained “Object Projection”…’

First of all, Harris was able to successfully plant the seeds of change in the Elven Kingdom.

The new music and instruments he introduced at the festival provided great inspiration to the elves who had been unconsciously immersed in inertia and enabled them to try new things.

Just as a stone dropped into a calm lake creates ripples, the impact gradually grew in scale and affected their overall culture.

It came back as his karma.

‘It’s still at a small level, but it’s encouraging that it will continue to increase in the future.’

And through trials, Heinrich became the owner of the holy sword, received a great blessing, and was recognized as a saint.

Becoming a saint of the Main Church, one of the continent’s largest powers, was an event big enough to be recorded in history, so this was enough to be a great achievement.

‘Also, after the Abyss was opened, Hans clashed with the Main Church and imprinted his name again… Afterwards, he recovered the legacy of the Immortal King who began to appear on the continent.’

Additionally, the resulting confusion would have been known to be Hans’ fault, so his influence was, to say the least, nagging.

The most recent events included Harley’s northern expedition and the hunt for the dragon Heratos.

Of course, hunting a being the size of a light dragon would have been quite an achievement.

‘So, the karma that has been accumulated so far…!’

『Karma Store』

『Unique Skill Enhancement (1000000)』

『Status Enhancement – View Details』

『Karma Possessed – 1608961』

“Oh!”

Although it has been less than a week in Earth time since obtaining “Object Projection,” karma has increased by over a million.

‘As expected, there are a lot of people and there is a lot to see.’

With so many people going around causing big things here and there, isn’t it so easy to sweep away the karma that is difficult to collect?

‘Wow, how can I get through this difficult world with just one body? It is not for nothing that they say that even ten bodies are not enough.’

In that sense, I, who had seven bodies, was still lacking, so I needed to make my body ten as soon as possible.

Anything more than that would be better.

And this was the key to becoming his eighth body.

I held Eline’s pickaxe and looked closely at it.

I felt a strong reaction to “customizing” because I could create a new avatar using this item.

“I’m sure there won’t be an increase in the number of avatars this time either.”

Of course, the “Object Projection” I got last time was a good ability, but it would be a real shame if the number of avatars didn’t increase this time.

There may be no way to express that to someone.

“Then… strengthening.”

That’s how a whopping 1 million point reinforcement began.

As a result.

《The potential of the avatar increases. The object’s learning ability is further improved. 》

《Unique skills grow and potential blooms. Acquire the special skill “Avatar Cloud.”

Along with the headache, I felt like something was opening in my head.

And the increase in the number of avatars that I so desperately wanted…

“It’s done!”

That information was sitting proudly on one side of my head.

You can use it at any time to create a new alter ego.

At the same time, his mental power and thinking ability increased dramatically.

Even considering that the number of avatars would increase by one more, it seemed like the amount of mental power distributed to each entity would be greater than before.

‘Well, it’s okay up to here. Then, the additional things I got….’

Having achieved the results I wanted, my attention now turned to the contents of the system message.

It has long been past the point where we can talk about the avatar’s increased potential.

‘If I were to fight with my clone, I would lose a hundred times.’

This was true even when compared to Hubert, who did not have much combat power.

Of course, since there is “object projection,” it is right to prioritize the growth of the avatar over strengthening the main body….

‘Hey, what are you doing now? There have been many instances where I was stronger than the avatar.’

At best, it was right after the avatar was created at the beginning of entering the other world.

Now that the children are heading to the top in their respective positions, it is no longer a topic of comparison.

‘Rather than that, shall we check out the newly acquired skills? ‘Avatar Cloud.’

Cloud refers to a database that can be accessed anywhere through the Internet.

And the “Avatar Cloud,” which seems to have been named after it…

was the ability to share necessary items between avatars without distance restrictions through a small, public subspace.

‘oh! I was thinking it would be nice to have something like this. After all, the strengthening effect is certain.’

If you have this ability, there will be no need to exchange items face-to-face with each other like now.

‘Now I can finally give Hans the source of Acrich Dwell that Heinrich had.’

Even though they had prepared a gift, it was not easy for the two to meet each other due to their different positions.

As the transfer team has a cooldown time, I couldn’t use it as I wanted, so it was difficult to use another avatar as an errand boy.

‘Just the right ability came out.’

Also, I could get quite a few items right away through the merchant Hubert, so I felt safe even if I ended up in a remote area!

‘I’ll have to experiment to see how much Earth stuff I can send to Hubert through Heinz. There will be a limit to the amount that can be sent.’

It was a satisfying reinforcement in many ways.

Of course, there was still one main event left.

I immediately picked up the pickaxe and used “Customization”.

Now it was time to create a real dwarf.
