Avatar (2)

“uh? Why is this suddenly?”

When I opened my closed eyes and stood up, Song Dong-jin turned purple again..

I hurriedly closed my eyes again and focused my mind on the avatar..

As expected, the transmission line began to glow blue..

Laughing helplessly, I turned my avatar's head to check the clock, and found that there was about a minute left..

‘···This is it?’

After thinking about what happened, I realized.

「The body of the “Avatar” perfectly matches its own body..

It is neither an illusion nor a separate entity..

If I were to be honest, it was like a newly sprouted body part..

The resources needed to maintain this also mean that food must be consumed separately to provide the energy needed for physical activity..

The only downside is that it costs twice as much for food..

If the main body is the right half of the body including the head, the avatar is the left half of the body excluding the head..

In that situation, if you focus your mind, which can be called your head, on the avatar,···.

‘You can make the sender recognize the avatar as the main body.!’

Fireworks exploded in my head. My body trembled with joy..

When you smile with satisfaction that all your problems have been solved..

Ugh—

The blue magic circle glowed brightly and made a vibrating sound..

and.

《Transfer begins.》

My avatar was sent to another world.

***

《Transfer to the Outerica dimension has been completed..》

《You can return to Earth through the ‘Return’ item in the Karma Store..》

《Currently possessed karma is 0. You can check it at the karma store later..》

Even before I could reflect on the phrases I saw during transmission, my vision became brighter..

The first thing I saw was a forest.

The tall trees, grass, and flowers were something I had not seen in a very long time..

I've been stuck at home for two years, and I didn't particularly enjoy hiking before that, so it's probably the first time I've seen it in several years..

When I realized that fact, I suddenly broke into a cold sweat and became short of breath..

“Huh...huh...huh...huh.”

I thought it might be okay.

Since it wasn't the Earth where the accident occurred, I awakened my supernatural ability and was summoned to another world, so I thought something might work out..

Moreover, isn't it now not the main body, but an alter ego using an "avatar"?.

It was out of the question..

I quickly closed the avatar's eyes and focused my mind on the main body on Earth..

When I opened my eyes, I let out a sigh of relief at the sight of a room that always welcomed me..

The stuffy feeling of closure that I had become accustomed to over the years actually put my mind at ease..

After trying so hard to ignore the sensations coming from the avatar, I soon felt a strong sense of heterogeneity..

When I focused my mind on the avatar and when I focused on the body, I recognized the difference between the two, and the feeling of heterogeneity grew even more..

The wind passing by my ears, the scent of the forest, the warmth of sunlight on my skin..

And everything about inhaling and exhaling, digesting ingested food into energy, and consuming it was heterogeneous..

No, it's strange to feel all of those things..

“Whoop···.”

I felt strong motion sickness.

And soon I realized the cause..

‘I had forgotten that time flows differently.···!’

As there are many different worlds, not all time flows are exactly 1:10..

Since this time is estimated based on the experiences of returnees, there will be a certain amount of error for each person..

But what was important to me now was that the time difference was at least 10 times greater..

Even though I focused my senses as much as possible on the main body, the motion sickness did not stop..

When the main body exhales once, the avatar exhales more than ten times..

The avatar just stands still with its eyes closed, but its metabolism is much faster than that of the body that is currently moving, so the difference is clearly felt..

‘I'm dizzy... I feel like I'm going to throw up.’

Yeah, that won't work. I can't stand it anymore.

“Unsummon.”

Ah... it's a bit better.

***

After lying down for a while, the motion sickness soon subsided..

As peace came to my mind, I began to think about many things..

A sense of accomplishment and an inexplicable feeling of regret that the crisis had somehow been overcome safely..

When I was filled with relief that I would no longer be sent to another world, I suddenly remembered a text message I had sent to a friend and hurriedly checked it..

“Oh... fortunately I haven't checked yet..”

I deleted the text I sent and sent it again with a message asking how I was doing..

There's no need to worry.

Since things happened like this, I think it's a good thing I didn't report it to the Ability Management Bureau..

Originally, I was going to report it right after returning, but as the situation changed, my mind changed as well..

‘I don't really intend to commit a crime with this, but it's annoying to be a hassle..’

If you think about it, it was an ability optimized for crime..

If you cover your face and disappear after a robbery, the perfect crime is possible..

Even if you are suspected, the body will prove your alibi..

If you cancel the summon, additional belongings will be left behind, but it depends on how you find it, so you will be able to do something..

‘Of course it's just a delusion.’

Didn't we confirm a little while ago that you can't go out even in the avatar state?.

‘Ah... well, it doesn't matter what happens now.’

The crisis has passed, there will be no problems, and if you sharpen your abilities, you will be able to play the game alone or in two-player mode..

That's it..

And without even thinking about it, I summoned the avatar I had unlocked again..

《Achievement accomplished! Return to Earth on your own without going through the Karma Store.》

《As a reward for achieving a feat that transcends dimensions, the special privilege “Summon the Otherworld Transmission” is granted. Once a day, you can move to a location you have passed through the transfer line..》

《He achieved a great feat and had a great impact on the world. Karma increases significantly.》

“···yes?”

A phrase I thought I would never see again appeared before my eyes..

***

Karma and Karma Store.

This is the way for the awakened to return from this world..

Karma is accumulated in many ways, including good deeds, bad deeds, killing, and labor, and is given in consideration of the impact one has on others and the world..

however···.

“Check out the Karma Store.”

『karma store』

『Return (1,000,000) (Not available) 』

『Strengthening unique skills (300,000)』

『Status Enhancement – ​​View Details』

『possess karma - 1,910,213』

Now that I think about it, I was so distracted that I forgot about it, but when I was just transported to another dimension, there was a phrase about the Karma Store..

Did you say that you can collect karma and return to Earth through the 'return' item?···.

‘Normally, you would come back by accumulating karma step by step, but I did the opposite and filled up my karma by coming back..’

How karma is used is up to the individual involved..

Should you strengthen yourself with some accumulated karma and save it more safely, or should you save it steadily without using it elsewhere and take advantage of 'return' right away?.

It was important to distribute it appropriately depending on the situation..

If you're too weak, survival itself is a problem, and if you just strengthen yourself blindly, you could miss the right time and die in an instant..

“But I never thought things would work out like this. ‘A feat that goes beyond dimensions’···.”

It seems that the 'system' judged the process in which the avatar sent to another world by transmission line was resummoned from Earth as having crossed the dimension and returned.···.

‘Isn't this an error? Is this okay??’

Sending an avatar instead was like cheating the system, but receiving special benefits like this made me feel guilty..

‘Hey, a great system that encompasses all dimensions wouldn't penalize something like this. I didn't do anything intentionally wrong..’

Why not leave a loophole in the first place?.

Aren’t errors in the program the developer’s fault??

He just did his best in everything!

It was a self-justification that started out like an excuse, but after thinking about it, it all turned out to be true..

‘okay! There's nothing wrong with me! pear!’

Feeling proud of myself, I glanced at the sky and confidently inspected the Karma store..

With a generous bank account and a shopping mindset.

‘Since I'm on Earth, 'return' has no meaning, and the unique skill means 'Avatar'..’

When I clicked on the status enhancement details, a dizzying number of items appeared before my eyes..

‘In the 'main category' alone, there were several items such as physical body, mental ability, supernatural ability, and attribute power..

‘In the detailed list of 'muscle strength', which is a sub-category of 'body', not only were upper and lower body muscles divided, but there was also a separate list for each part, such as biceps and lats..

‘In addition to quickness, 'agility' also had detailed items such as reflexes and body vision, and the same was true for other items..

‘···You put a lot of effort into the store window while not providing a status window.!’

While looking at the Karma store in a dazed mood, there was an item that caught my eye..

『Physical – Stamina – Enhanced recovery (10,000)』

I stared at it and chose it without hesitation, as if I was possessed by something..

There was no dramatic effect.

It is natural that the increase in muscle, like strength, is not noticeable all at once, but that it recovers gradually..

『Strengthening resilience (20,000)』

So I chose one more time.

I felt it in my legs. I can feel my injury recovering..

If it stays like this, it will recover someday..

『Strengthening resilience (40,000)』

chose one more time.

My legs became itchy..

The recovery period will be shorter, so you will be completely cured in no time..

Karma consumption was doubling with each choice, but compared to the total amount I had, this amount was nothing..

『Strengthening resilience (80,000)』

chose one more time.

For me, this injury to my leg was not just an inconvenience..

It was my pain, it was the wound of saying goodbye to my family, it was the scar that made me lock myself in my room afterwards..

It was a symbol of all the negative emotions that had accumulated over time, such as sadness, despair, pain, deficiency, resignation, and unhappiness..

『Strengthening resilience (160,000)』

So I chose one more time.

My legs felt numb as if electricity had passed through them..

When I lifted up my pants, I could see my smooth legs with no surgery marks..

and i could tell.

《Resilience has exceeded the standard. Acquire the skill “Super Recovery”.》

My leg, which was limping due to an injury, has fully recovered and I am stronger than before..

***

After being overwhelmed with emotion for a while at the fact that I was able to throw off the shackles that had been holding me back for so long, I was finally able to calm down..

Of course, not all problems have been solved.

I still couldn't go outside, but now hope and faith sprouted that I would somehow be able to overcome it..

「When I checked “Super Recovery,” it was literally a skill that strengthened recovery..

Even if it is impossible to regenerate severed body parts, most wounds can be recovered quickly..

I calmed down and checked the Karma store again..

『karma store』

『Return (1,000,000) (Not available) 』

『Strengthening unique skills (300,000)』

『Status Enhancement – ​​View Details』

『possess karma - 1,600,213』

‘How much karma did you get from feats??’

Of course, it's not that I don't like it, but at this point, I was in a daze..

Then, my gaze stopped at the ‘Strengthening Unique Skills’ item..

「Awakening the “Avatar” was the beginning of all change..

What more can you do if you strengthen this skill??

Maybe it can help me grow further.

The growth of unique skills takes place in the direction desired by the awakener..

You can grow by honing your abilities and becoming skilled without consuming karma, but the period can be greatly shortened through the karma store..

Isn’t there now a way to go to another world without risk?.

But in its current state, it was nothing more than a plan that could not be used..

I chose this item with the hope that strengthening my unique skills would help me grow into this situation..

After a brief headache, I didn't notice the change at first..

That's because a feat achievement message appeared immediately after resummoning, and the avatar was pushed out of consciousness..

But I could tell right away what had changed..

I have two brains.

No, there were two from the beginning, but while one mind used to go back and forth between two bodies, now I can skillfully divide my thoughts into two and move them around..

I stood facing my avatar..

I was able to naturally accept the two perspectives, and I didn't feel any sense of heterogeneity at all..

“Hmm, as expected, he’s handsome like a man..”

“That's it. Are you feeling well? I guess I did some exercise?”

“of course. It's the result of constant effort.”

Now we can talk to each other smoothly.

···In reality, it was no different from talking to myself..

I started experimenting here and there to find out to what extent it was possible..

We were able to face each other and play catch. I was able to do push-ups and sit-ups at the same time..

While cleaning, I was able to surf the Internet and play two-player games by myself that I could only play when a friend came over.!

“hot! This is not the time to be like this.”

I got sidetracked for a moment, but it was time to refocus..

As I put away the Juseomjuseom game console as an avatar, I summarized the unique skills I had developed..

Not only have we become more adept at multitasking, but we have also become able to think independently by using our brains separately..

Still, seeing that he accepted it naturally, it seemed like his status, such as his thinking ability and mental acuity, had improved significantly..

‘Plus one more thing.’

I picked up the chair in the room with my avatar..

And let's cancel the summons···.

The avatar disappeared with the chair..

Now, not only can you use individual equipment with your avatar, but you can also summon and cancel it along with your belongings.!

Although it was limited to the weight that could be lifted, it was like a kind of sub-space had been created..

I nodded my head in satisfaction, expecting that this ability would also be of great help in the future, and checked the Karma store again..

『Strengthening unique skills (400,000)』

Fortunately, it didn't seem like there was a doubling in strengthening unique skills..

Anyway, it can be strengthened a little more..

Without hesitation, I selected 『Enhance Unique Skills』 one more time, and a phrase appeared in front of my eyes along with a headache..

《As your unique skills grow, your potential blooms. Acquire the special skill “Mind Herb”.》
