《Reborn on a Systemless Earth... With a System》Chapter 202: Slaying It
Advertisement
I cast my [Absolute Duo] skill and a copy of me appears.
A second Eryk Solbourne.
Absolute Duo: Rank 17. Make a clone that doesn't go away. Cost: 8000 LP.
Perfection.
“Perfection,” the other Eryk says.
“I want to instruct you with a task,” I say. “But I feel you already know what this task will be.”
He nods at me. “Of course I do. I’m you.”
“And not an emotionally unstable me like the clone I created in Los Angeles?”
“Not at all. Not yet, anyway,” he says. “I’m permanent, which means those issues are definitely, certainly fixed.”
“I’m very confident in that fact, for sure.” I look at him with weary eyes, and immediately he understands what I am about to ask of him.
“You don’t mean...”
“I do,” I say.
“But... You know how I’ll end up.”
“Well... Not NECESSARILY,” I say. “There’s a chance the timeline may diverge in some strange way.” No, there is no chance of that. I’m certain of it.
“Hey, you may be right,” my clone says. “I think I’ll keep on believing exactly that.”
“Great. Then follow this very specific goal that cannot ever be defied: Create the New Slayers. Be the evil that I can no longer abide by. But do so from the shadows. You are my copy, but you are also my herald. You lack my soul, so you will wait for my arrival. My ghost’s arrival. That is what the prophecy says.”
“Prophecy?”
“Yes. The prophecy.”
There is no prophecy. I just made it up. However, my clone is very good at convincing himself of things.
“Yes, of course! The prophecy!”
Through the power of belief and self-deception, this Clone Eryk, permanent and forever, will fulfill everything I need him to do. It will be bad and unsavory things, but I can only hope that he takes solace in knowing that he was/will be a very important point in my personal development as a person.

Considering though that he becomes a zombie-like husk by the time I met/will meet him, [Absolute Duo]’s claims of permanency do not seem as solid as they appear at first use. I wonder if he was/will be the longest-lived clone in the history of Mystix...
This was a shorter task than I imagined, but it now means that the New Slayers are well on their way to dominance, just as the Anti-Mages soon will be once Rare gets ahold of them. As for my side of things... I’ve decided that I should make family more of a priority.

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
