My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

Chapter 259

#259

Playing tag (1)

An indoor training facility created just for me.

Kikigikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk-

There was a lot of heat rising there along with an unusual metallic sound.

Rattling— coo!

“Whoosh whoosh—!”

And after completing another routine with the sound of something heavy hitting the floor, I looked down at my sweaty, steaming body and let out a quiet exclamation.

“Is this great? “It may be only a small portion of the total, but it is still at this level…”

While expressing my admiration, I looked down at the exercise equipment I had just been using and frowned slightly.

The handle was slightly dented and twisted, as if he was not yet in control of his strength.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll need something sturdier too.”

The common equipment available on the market was not suitable for an adept to train his body.

Of course, due to its characteristics, its basic strength was very strong, but that was only accepted by the general public.

‘At this point, I guess I’ll just have to replace everything with Howard’s handmade products. ‘It was good because I was making various things to practice handling the newly acquired materials.’

This sudden growth of the main body was caused by the?Unique Skill Enhancement (1300000)? performed right before sending Hugo to the Kang Hwan World.

Actually, at first I had no intention of sending Hugo there.

It was very versatile and was good at various chores, so it was very comfortable to have next to the main unit, and since I was going to a new dimension, I wanted to select a new avatar and dispatch it with a new feeling.

‘As long as the number of avatars didn’t increase not only in the 1.3 million version, but also in the subsequent 1.4 million version.’

What I thought would happen went astray one after another, and in the end, I had to let Hugo go in exchange for gaining two unexpected abilities.

The first was the derived ability of “Individual Projection” that was currently strengthening his body.

This is different from “object projection,” which completely overwrites a single entity’s information, and borrows a certain portion of the avatar’s power. There is no clear cooldown, so it could be maintained all day long under normal circumstances when power consumption is not significant. .

‘You can say that a constant reinforcement passive skill has been added. The most amazing thing is that the target avatar is not limited to one object at a time like in “object projection.”

It was safe to say that it was a deceptive ability, but the unfortunate thing was that the total amount of power that could be borrowed was far less than the complete “Individual Projection.”

‘But abilities can be developed somehow. If additional reinforcements are added and proficiency becomes higher, maybe…’

Maybe.

Using Hans’ dark magic, Heinrich’s divine power, Harley’s physical ability, and even blood magic and elemental magic at the same time—such a terrible hybrid could be born.

Of course, it will take quite a long time for that to happen.

‘Plus, the other abilities are quite useful.’

The problem was his karma balance, which he never thought would dry up so quickly.

There were about 2 million points left after making the Gold Dragon Hatchling Horus.

After that, there was a surge during the Zephyr Republic incident, and thanks to straws being planted here and there, the number rose again to just over 3 million…

‘With this, we’re starting from the bottom again.’

The points needed for the next reinforcement are 1.5 million.

No matter how many karma straws are stuck here and there like pensions, there is the ‘elixir of growth’, which is constant spending, so unless something major happens, it is a figure that will take quite a long time to achieve.

“Well, since when did I worry about that?”

I was the one who collected over 10 million points when others were struggling with just 1 million.

To me, karma was just something that naturally accumulated when you did what you had to do.

‘Let’s see. Kang Hwan-gye’s side, which has been roughly finished, is now taking a breather…’

My attention turned again to my garden, Outerica.

***

Even while I was worrying about Kang Hwan-gye for a while, Outerica’s time went by steadily.

Avatars who build a foundation by training and performing tasks in their respective positions.

And among them, there was one person who showed particularly violent behavior recently.

“Ugh….”

“Sigh—ha surrender! “I surrender!”

“Khahahaha—! Where did the initial enthusiasm go? Is this enough to prove it? Now, everyone else, don’t hesitate and come in at once! Kahaha!”

Dozens of people collapsed on the floor and groaning, and a giant man stood in the middle of them, clutching a man’s head and laughing majestically.

Those surrounding them, each holding a weapon, swallowed dry saliva without even realizing it.

That has to be the case.

It was only natural that the ones sprawled out there like drunken homeless people were the best warriors in the village, and the one who was crying out for surrender while holding his head in the hands of a giant was the chief of their tribe and the strongest warrior in the nearby region.

“Yes? What else is there? Don’t hesitate and come in! It definitely seems like the most fun place I’ve ever been to. “Now, let’s see if the robot tribe can claim to be the best in Calcos!”

“It’s Levart, Harley.”

“Hmm? The robot looks stronger. “Anyway, aren’t there any more people who want to step forward?”

Misty, who was quietly observing from a distance, carefully corrected his pronunciation, but Harley, who had already begun to feel excited, paid no attention to her.

The mad spirit radiating from the body of such an arrogant barbarian warrior caused those around him to take a few steps back without realizing it.

“Umm Harley? Wouldn’t that be enough for now? “I think everyone else has acknowledged it now.”

In the end, Misty smiled bitterly and stepped forward again.

The current uproar occurred when Harley, accompanied by Misty, visited and the tribe’s chieftains and warriors came forward to test whether he was worthy of being king.

The Levat tribe, which had a better location than other tribes thanks to its location in the southeastern tropical rainforest, was powerful and had high pride for generations, but when they suddenly found themselves in a situation where they had to serve someone they had never seen, they decided to do it.

But as Harley said earlier, this wasn’t actually the first time something like this had happened here.

Perhaps, like other tribes, they were planning to show off their skills to prevent people from treating them carelessly…

“…Heung! “I’m losing my temper.”

Shake—

“Ugh!”

The chieftain, who was being held in Harley’s large hand, fell to the floor and swallowed a painful groan.

He was beaten so hard that his body couldn’t move, but he was naturally strong, so he forced himself to wriggle and raised his head and looked up at Harley.

A muscular man measuring over 2.3 meters and brilliant tattoos engraved on his naked upper body.

And the red and green lights shining brightly in the middle of the shadowed features that are turned away from the light.

Even though he is just standing still, the man who exudes a sense of cowardice and coercion as if he has a miscalculation of the world is…

‘…a new fighting king…. He is truly a masterpiece.’

The chief sighed inwardly and bowed his head slightly.

Even though he had suffered a lot, his eyes did not contain any rejection or anger, but only deep awe and respect.

Due to my pride as a warrior, I couldn’t simply bow down, so I rushed in, but after feeling the clear difference in rank, I was now able to understand my position.

And it wasn’t just the chieftain alone, it was the elites who were crawling on the ground and groaning, as well as the warriors who were surrounding them and looking at them.

Southern warriors whose greatest value is strength.

In their eyes, the sight of him deflecting heavy weapons imbued with aura with his bare body, not even wearing armor, and subduing warriors like a child with his bare hands without a weapon was truly a fighting spirit descended to the earth.

“…Chief Umperante of Lebat offers his allegiance to the new King Tu.”

“I will be loyal!”

“Loyalty…!”

And the chief and the warriors, who had recovered to some extent, swore obedience in front of Harley, and the work here was completed.

“Miss, this is the end of the southeast, right? “Hmm, so it’s about half the money?”

“Oh my, I just want you to call me Misty from now on. Now that I think about it, I see that. and! Even if you ignore the small villages and only stop by the places where the tribal leaders are, you’ve already covered half of the area in this short amount of time. “As expected, Harley is amazing!”

“Hahaha—! Well, the help of witchcraft also played a significant role. “It seems like we are a good match for each other!”

“The old compatibility… Oh my! Harley too. Hehehe—.”

How did she take his words? As delusions about how many children she would have were running wild in Misty’s head, Harley scratched her chin as she thought about her next schedule.

‘If it was just an issue related to King Tu’s accession to the throne, it would have ended with the chiefs from each region being summoned to the center.’

The problem was that the situation in the south, which was swept away by the Baltheon Rebellion, was not so easy.

Not only was the situation under control, but there were still quite a few places where the remnants remained and were wreaking havoc, so it was best for him to move in person in order to finish the job as quickly as possible.

“Tskcha—! Well then, shall we go quickly? “Now, put me on your back again, girl.”

“Ugh, of course three is good… hmm? yes yes? yes “Mr. Harley!”

Harley ran through the south at full speed with the help of the great shaman.

Thanks to this, he was able to tour the entire tribal alliance much earlier than expected, and eventually rose to the rank of true ‘king’ recognized by all the tribes of Chalcos.

And finally.

Southern power, which had been dispersed so far, began to rapidly reorganize around him.

***

A blond-haired young man wearing work clothes was busy cleaning various parts of the house.

The disciplined manner in which he dusted, swept with a broom, and mopped gave off the air of a professional without any unnecessary effort.

While I was in a trance and obsessed with cleaning.

While he was diligently mopping the floor, he noticed something and stopped and frowned.

‘this! There’s a stain here. If the master found out, he would pay homage to me.’

As soon as the judgment was made, action was taken immediately.

He took out a small bottle, a brush, and other tools from his work apron, and carefully dropped the medicine from the bottle onto the stains on the floor and scrubbed vigorously with the brush.

Crunchy crunchy—

“Hehehe, you cheeky speck. How dare you invade this body’s territory? “No matter how much you fly or crawl, it’s no use to me.”

With a cruel smile on his face, he mercilessly attacked the stain without blood or tears—.

Finally, it disappeared from this world without even leaving a trace.

“Hehehe….”

Just like he was in the past.

“…….”

His body, lying on the floor, froze in an instant.

Normally, I would have gotten up right away and moved on to the next task.

For some reason, my mind was so confused now that I couldn’t do anything.

And how much time has passed?

“Simon~? Are you still cleaning?”

A woman suddenly heard… The man’s body stiffened at the sound of the master’s voice.

However, after going through countless training sessions, his body was already acting according to its survival instinct without even realizing it.

“Huh! Yes yes! master! Did you call me! “I’m leaving now!”

“Really. “Why is it so bitter that it exploded so slowly?”

A man came running towards me and fell face down on the floor.

However, Siana glanced at him with a displeased look and clicked her tongue lightly.

Then, he stepped on the back of Simon Carte Azerion, the former crown prince of the Azerion Empire, who was lying on the ground, with his pointed heel, and continued speaking in a soft voice.

“Simon, is it because there is no corporal punishment these days? Or did you rather want this? huh?”

“Ugh! Oh no. master! “I… Ugh!”

“Huh~ I guess that’s true. You accept corporal punishment as a reward. Have you ever seen such a disgusting slave? Phew.”

Red face and rapid breathing.

Simon buried his half-dissolved face on the floor and trembled.

He looked so damaged that it was impossible to even imagine that he was now the crown prince of the empire.

Grumbling—

a moment when the two were having a great time.

“…This?”

Suddenly, the immortality shook slightly with a slight vibration.

It was so subtle that it was difficult for an ordinary person to notice, but as an immortal military officer in name, she could definitely feel it.

“Is the king… happy?”

However, even she could not figure out the reason.

Siana, who was pulling the whip string tightly, slightly tilted her head.

“Ugh… Master….”

“Ah.”

At that time, a painful moan escaped from beneath her feet.

‘Well, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing, so I guess it doesn’t matter.’

If anything happens, the king will let you know.

Even if she thought about it before, there was nothing she could do, so Sianna decided to just focus on the present.

A sadistic smile formed on her lips.

The whip, which had rested for a moment, split the air again.

***

Immortality at heart.

The Immortal King’s personal research workshop.

[Hehehe—finally.]

Hans, who was enveloped in darkness in the center, let out a low laugh.

The immortality was shaking slightly in response to his emotions, but he was in no mood to worry about such trivial things right now.

To be exact, I felt so good that I didn’t even think about such things.

[Gotcha…this guy.]

Finally.

Because the fairly long game of tag is starting to come to an end.

Ugh—

the small piece of metal in Hans’ hand vibrated slightly.
