This time it seemed to be a sub-skill related to a unique skill.
And when I checked the information, I could finally see that I had gained the ability I wanted.
The avatar was like another body of mine.
Of course, having two bodies has many advantages, but there are also some negatives.
The doubling of food costs was only a minor issue.
‘It is fatal that we have no choice but to accept the avatar’s senses and the emotions it brings without filtering.’
Using the Avatar’s dormant state to ignore the senses was not an absolute ability, but was only possible in situations with little external stimulation.
‘For example… death.’
Or when you suffer a fatal injury, you can’t ignore the intense emotions and sensations.
Of course, it might be okay since it’s an avatar that can be summoned in times of danger.
Because I believed in that too and tried to send the avatar to another world instead.
‘But you never know when or how a crisis will strike. You could die in a moment of carelessness, or you could be fatally injured in a completely unexpected situation.’
Or, even if it doesn’t happen directly to me, if someone right in front of me suddenly dies, I, whose mind is weaker than that of an average modern person, cannot help but suffer a great mental shock.
In that respect, the skill I gained this time was extremely useful.
Through the Hub and relay, it has become possible to filter and select all stimuli and emotions through the avatar.
That means, not only did he overcome dimensional sickness, he also became immune to all mental contamination, including death.
It means that you can control your avatar as if you were playing a game and go anywhere and do anything.
“And in a warm and comfortable corner of the room!”
《Avatar’s potential increases. Growth is further accelerated.》
A phrase that came to mind as if it didn’t end there.
This meant that additional adjustments were given to the avatar’s growth.
‘Wait, the Avatar must have had the same conditions as the original me, but if it ended up like this…’
Doesn’t that mean that you are more talented and better than me?
‘Well, since the Avatar will be doing all the dangerous work anyway, it would be good if he gets stronger. That’s good, but···.’
He made a trembling expression as the subtle emotions surged in.
A body that is worse than a clone.
‘No! I’m a brain, so it’s okay. There’s no need for a commander to be stronger than his subordinates. That’s enough for now, let’s see how much karma is left.’
『Unique Skill Enhancement (500,000)』
『Karma held – 900,213』
The large amount of karma has been reduced by more than half.
Given the increasing consumption of karma, this enhancement will likely be the last.
I know it’s greedy, but I smacked my lips with a sense of regret.
After a moment of thought, I finally chose 『Strengthen Unique Skills』.
I didn’t hesitate because it was definitely more efficient than raising other abilities.
『Unique Skill Enhancement (600,000)』
『Karma held – 400,213』
《Unique skills grow and their potential blossoms. All avatars acquire one random skill.》
The final reinforcement also did not disappoint my expectations.
Avatar skill awakening.
In fact, it was a situation where there was no fighting ability, and it was like rain in a drought.
‘Of course, it’s not as good as the unique skill given at the first awakening, but right now, I’m in a situation where even the smallest skill is lacking.’
And that wasn’t the only change.
There are three of me!
We looked at each other in turn.
By reinforcing it several times, my multitasking ability and mental strength steadily improved, and with the help of “Mind Hub”, I no longer felt confused at all.
‘But the number of avatars will continue to increase in the future, so it might get confusing later. There needs to be a way to distinguish them…’
To put it simply, it was a naming thing.
“We can’t keep calling them Avatar 1 and Avatar 2.”
“I’m not really confident in naming things.”
“Name··· Name···.”
After a while of groaning while butting heads with my clones, I soon sighed and shook my head.
Although they have three heads, their senses are all the same, so it wasn’t much help in naming them.
“Han… Hans, let’s just call it ‘Hans.’ It’s easy to pronounce and doesn’t sound bad. Yeah.”
I pointed to the avatar I had first summoned and gave it a name that came to mind.
What happened immediately after that was unexpected.
Jiying—
“Huh? What all of a sudden···.”
A faint echo passed through my head.
There was no pain or discomfort, but I instinctively felt that something had changed.
