《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.

What Lies In Between
Earth is on the tail end of its recovery after suffering near-apocalyptic events. Catastrophic storms and sudden, dramatic shifts of the tectonic plates almost destroyed modern society. And to make matters worse, a mysterious disease that would later become known as the Deep Sleep Syndrome swept through the population. Penthus Argyris is one such person affected by this illness. Abandoned by his mother—his last living relative—he wastes away in a hospital ward. It was lonely, but Pent had grown used to it. He no longer dreamed of traveling across the earth to explore the ruins of the fallen nations; the world outside his sterile white cage was all but a distant fantasy. Pent had all but come to terms with his lot in life—that is until his adopted cousin showed up out of the blue with some surprising news… News that would shake the tentative foundation that Humanity had only just managed to piece together.

Lear County Outlook
Based on true events in my life. Think of these stories as H P Lovecraft meets Rob Zombie. Each story has pieces, confessions, from the rural decay of Appalachia wrapped in horror and madness. All are set in the fictional county of Lear, which is a dark mirror held up to surface, idealized countryside. Blood and familial ties bind deep in a hopeless and rotted south. Tales are whispered of Hill Witches and Demons. Shunned communities molder. All these truths are hidden in the stories of deceit and lies. The first arc revolves around theft and exploitation at one of the last factories of Lear County. Abuse of power draws all down the path of madness.

New Escape
In a world not that unlike the present exists a fantastic technology to transfer one's consciousness into a game. A new frontier for video games has been opened, and my first experience in this world is an rpg. An escape from monotony and school has led me to experience a brand new world.(I originally lost my motivation for this story and kinda wanted to kill it, but I brought it into this world so I will fix it. I'll probably re-write the first chapters and include a more compelling story. Didn't really write the story for people to read in the first place and after I put it on here I stopped caring, but I am changed!(not too much but just a little))
