Chapter 2: Now there's two of them.
{Plop!} A skinny man of 23 years old suddenly appeared above the ground in the middle of a forest, falling on his postiere. Who is he you ask? He is Gary, He is the main protagonist and he is ready.
"Hoo yeah boy! Let's start this ride STATUS!" Yelled Gary.

"Alright! Level 0 sucks but okay! [CLONE]".
[Cloning...error! level too low]
"Dang, guess we are doing a {weak to strong}. Well this just tells me what to do for the first step, yup fighting!".
Gary, finally taking notice of his surroundings, found himself in a forest, deeply filled with trees. Not a human(earth human or OLOP human) in sight. Even if there was one, Gary doesn't know how to fight, he's never even been in one. Well except for verbal ones over the internet but nobody counts those.
However Gary's fortune counterbalances his lacking skill, as he found a stick, a GOOD stick. It was a perfect size for our..hero?
"Alright world show me what you got!" (Gary)
Ask and ye shall be received. A goblin that has been hearing Gary's shouts of enthusiasm since he arrived emerges from behind the tree and is primed to fight for the tasty human flesh that Gary contains.
The goblin was of your typical design, green skin here, long nose there ugly face here, grotesque pen- never mind that last bit. The generic goblin ignored Gary's stares and started charging at Gary, arms out and mouth open to bite that sweaty flesh.
"Yaggh gaarr ssh GAR" went the goblin, then "BANG, BANG" went the stick on the now dead goblins head.

" I knew this was a good stick." (Proud Gary)
[level up! +1]
"Finally took long enough, [Clone]".
[Cloning.....complete!]
***
In reality the event took over five minutes, Gary felt like he was bloating up. Something akin to when he was last at his grandma's place, and the feeling was only rising. Fortunately it wasn't uncomfortable, it was a weird feeling for Gary as he felt something awaken within him.
After the five minutes, there was a poof sound and a cloud to accompany it. Now there were two Garys, they looked completely alike, except one was naked.
However instead of happiness the OG (original Gary) was feeling a bit unwell, no it was not due to the fact that he was seeing himself naked, nor the existential crisis involving who's the real Gary. It was a more of... a magical kind of feeling.
"..Status." (Original Gary)

"Woah, must be low mana power. Does the skill take 10 mp or all of my mp? But that was the same amount that I had at level 0 why did it work only now?" asked the original Gary.
" I might have an idea, show status" Said the naked Gary.

"So you're half me?" said Original.
"Well I'm you, but im I clone, for some reason I know that i'm not the original. Must be a safety measure. But yes I do have half your attributes and all of your handsome." said clone naked Gary.

" Interesting, hmmm half of zero is well zero so maybe the skill can't make something that doesn't exist? ....Well that's a theory for later to test. Good that we don't have to worry about identity crises about who's the real one." said Original.
"Well that's easily solved if we just kill the other one.." said the copy.
"....."
"Ha ha ha " both laughed at the same time, it was weird to hear to say the least, there was no delay, it was synced perfectly.
"Yeah yeah, TOWN'S NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF US- HA ha ha ". One of the Garys said. And then they laughed for a while in the empty forest.

"Anyway how does it feel to be a copy, besides being cold." Asked Original.
"Hmm not that much different actually, I have all your memories, or at least I think I do. I don't feel any weaker than before we split even though I now have half my/your strength." (Naked Gary)
" I see, well this world has a gaming system so I'm sure some wibbly wobbly magic going on behind the scenes fixes stuff like that. Like your MP isn't exactly half so something more is going on , anyway for clarity sake I'll call you Gary 1." Said Original.
"Okay and yourself?" said Gary 1.
"OG or Original, seems fitting, also the author's already did it so yeah." Original.
"Alright Mr Snowflake, now what?."
"Mw ha ha ,my dear self you know the answer, Now we Conquer the world!"

The Nost
Jack and Ann have taken me on a great adventure full of mystery and incredible technology, I hope you'll join us. Three chapters will post each week in December 2021 and January 2022. The journey will come to a close on January 31. I know you have a lot of reading choices, but if you have space left in your literary adventure cup, please join Jack and Ann as 2021 turns into 2022, happy reading! The demon whispers inside Jack’s mind. “They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all.” It’s funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn’t make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn’t he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That’s why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he’s in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won’t take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn’t his first life and if he doesn’t free her from her prison, it won’t be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn’t understand. It’s a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon’s voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn’t remember…yet.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
