chapter 4
Avatar (3)
I also got a new skill.
This time, it seemed to be a sub-skill related to the unique skill.
And when I checked the information, I finally found out that I had the ability I wanted.
The avatar was like another body of mine.
Of course, having two bodies has many good points, but there are also negative aspects.
Doubling the cost of food was no more than a trivial matter.
‘It’s fatal to have to accept the avatar’s senses and the emotions they feel without filtration.’
Using the dormant state of the avatar to ignore the senses was possible only in situations where there were few external stimuli, and was not an absolute ability.
‘For example… death.’
Or when you have suffered a fatal wound, there is no way you can ignore the intense emotions and sensations.
Of course, it may be okay because it is an avatar that can be reverse summoned when in danger.
Because I believed that too and wanted to send my avatar to another world instead.
‘But you never know when and how a crisis will come. A moment of inattention can lead to death, and it may be fatally wounded in an unexpected situation.’
Or, if someone in front of me suddenly dies, even if I am not directly affected, I will inevitably receive a huge psychological shock, having a weaker mind than a general modern person.
In that respect, the skill obtained this time was very useful.
Through Hub and repeater, it became possible to filter and select all the stimuli and emotions through the avatar in the middle.
In other words, it meant overcoming dimensional motion sickness as well as becoming immune to all mental contamination, including death.
You can control your avatar as if you were playing a game to go anywhere and do anything.
“Even in a warm and comfortable corner of the room!”
《The potential of your avatars increases. Growth accelerates further.”
A phrase that came to mind as if it didn’t end there.
It meant that additional corrections were given to the growth of the avatar.
‘Wait, my avatar would have had the same conditions as the original me, but if it turns out like this…’
Doesn’t that mean that I’m better and more talented than my main body?
‘Well, the avatar will do all the dangerous things anyway, so it’d be nice to be stronger. It’s good, but…’
He frowned at the subtle emotions that flooded in.
It’s a body that’s less than an alter ego.
‘no! I’m brain so it’s okay A commander doesn’t have to be stronger than his subordinates. That’s done now, let’s see how much karma is left.’
『Enhance Unique Skills (500,000)』
『Retained Karma – 900,213』
That much karma has been reduced by more than half.
Considering the increase in consumption karma, this reinforcement will be the last.
I know it’s greedy, but I ate up with the regret I felt for nothing.
After thinking for a while, I finally selected 『Enhance Unique Skills』.
It was definitely more efficient than raising other stats, so he didn’t hesitate.
『Enhance Unique Skills (600,000)』
『Retained Karma – 400,213』
《The unique skill grows and the potential blooms. All avatars acquire one random skill.”
The final reinforcement also did not disappoint my expectations.
Avatar’s skill awakening.
In fact, it was a situation where there was no combat ability, and it was literally a rain of drought.
‘Of course, it may not be as good as the unique skill given at the time of the first awakening, but now, even a trivial skill is a disappointment.’
And it wasn’t the only change.
I became three!
We took turns looking at each other.
By strengthening it several times, his mental power as well as multitasking has steadily increased, and when he even helped with the “Mind Hub,” there was no confusion at all.
‘But the number of avatars will continue to increase in the future, but it may become confusing later on. There must be a way to separate them…’
Simply put, it was a naming convention.
“Because we can’t call them Avatar 1 or Avatar 2 forever.”
“I’m not very confident in my naming.”
“It’s your name… it’s your name…”
After groaning for a long time with my head to face with the clones, I sighed and shook my head.
Although they have three heads, they all have the same sense, so the naming didn’t help much.
“Han… Hans, let’s say ‘Hans’. It’s easy to sing, and the pronunciation isn’t bad either. yes.”
I pointed to the first avatar I summoned and gave it a name that came to mind.
What was unexpected was right after that.

Jiying—
“yes? What suddenly…”
A faint sound rang through my mind.
There was no pain and there was no discomfort, but it felt instinctively that something had changed.
<object information>
-Object Name: Hans
-Common Attributes: 「Mind Hub」, 「Super Recovery」
– Entity Characteristics: 「Magic Affinity」
-Speciality: Han Seong-hyeon’s first avatar.
“…I didn’t expect this.”
As the 「Avatar」 skill grew, the information of ‘Hans’ was engraved in my mind.
If Karma evolved by 1 when using Karma, would this growth be 0.1?
It was very small compared to when I went through the Karma shop.
‘Actually, this is probably the usual way to develop abilities.’
The growth of ability is done in the direction desired by the user.
This time, giving the avatar a name seemed to be the condition.
‘But the avatar has a status window that I don’t really have.’
Unless there is a unique skill to view the original information, a separate status window is not displayed.
The information window that appeared this time was probably the result of “Avatar” growing to make it easier to manage the objects belonging to me.
‘Seeing it written like that, I thought I would have come up with a better name. I’ll have to think a bit more about the next guy’s name. By the way, it’s called “Magic-Friendly”.’
A skill that helps you feel the magic power and manage it better.
It will help growth, but you can’t expect combat power right away.
Even the second avatar’s skill was “strength”, which increased the durability of the body.
“How does it feel to have pulled a bang…? I can’t help it. And now, for the last time…”
There are things that must be done.
I definitely had to check it out.
***
“Woohoo… Whoops…”
I took a deep breath in front of the front door with a garbage bag in one hand.
In the meantime, throwing away a single garbage bag was also a pain.
At dawn when no one was watching, I had to look at the floor and go quickly.
With such a trembling body and trembling stride, he barely went out and came in, and for a while he had to suffer in a cold sweat and lay ill.
Now it was time to experiment with the “Mind Hub”.
The ability I had checked several times was telling me that there was nothing wrong with it, but I couldn’t help but be nervous as I was going out in broad daylight.
‘Come on, let’s really go!’
He took a deep breath and grabbed the handle to open the door.
The moment I stepped out the door, my body, which had been trembling reflexively, slowly subsided.
Breathing in the fresh air, I passed the hallway and went down the stairs.
The desire to run away, which bothered me every time I came out, didn’t feel right now.
I walked calmly outside in the sunlight and went to the garbage collection site to separate the collection.
After sorting out the trash, I looked around.
Cigarette butts on the floor of the collection site, old ladies chatting across the street, and the laughter of children from the playground in the distance.
As I close my eyes and breathe in, the smell of garbage fills my nostrils.
“Student, what are you doing here? Don’t block the road, get out of the way, I’ll throw out the trash.”
“Oh, sorry.”
I nodded shyly and walked slowly home, looking around again.
My heart was pounding at the scenery around the house that I had not seen in a very long time.
And I watched it like watching a movie at home.
It must have been myself who was outside.
Moving your body, thinking, and speaking are all things you do yourself.
But there was no fear as usual, and there was no shivering, no cold sweat.
Normal conversation was possible.
All kinds of emotions, including fear and confusion.
As if all the stimuli felt through the avatar had gone through a filter, it had no effect on me.
Beep Bibi Bik— Clap
With the sound of the front door opening, Hans came in and calmly washed his hands in the bathroom and approached.
Verification is over.
「Mind Hub」 has fully met my expectations, and now I can do anything.
‘Now I can go to another world.’
And once you get used to being outside like this, you will be able to go outside with your real body someday.
***
I had time to prepare for a few days before going to another world.
There were many things that could be gained as much as it was risky, but since my body was safe, there was no reason not to go any further.
Aside from my personal desire to get out of my room and travel to another world, it was also possible for me to grow faster.
In addition to the gain due to the time difference, apart from that, the additional growth correction given to the Awakened in another world.
Considering the avatar’s accelerating growth perks I have, I would be able to get stronger at a much faster rate.
‘In a chaotic society like now, power is everything.’
I grabbed my trembling hand, trying to suppress the memories of that day that came to mind.
.
In that way, I was able to feel the true value of “super recovery” while training for a different world.
Even if it was too much, the effect was maximized as he recovered perfectly if he rested for a while, and he rolled his body without resting.
It was a bit disappointing that the effects the avatar trained only applied to the object and did not affect the body.
It is an unavoidable problem since it is no different than a separate body from the moment it was created.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter since the only thing that goes to another world is the avatar. Growth acceleration is also applied. In addition, the status enhancement effect of the Karma Shop seems to be shared when the avatar is resummoned.’
Unlike me, where home training is limited, I was able to go outside as an avatar, so I was able to exercise more efficiently.
In order to avoid unnecessary attention due to its transcendental resilience, I overworked my body using my gym, where there are no people, and if I wanted to see something after a while, I went outside and ran far to build up my stamina.
The pain from extreme training can be filtered out through the 「Mind Hub」, so even hard exercise was nothing more than tedious repetitive work.
Of course, the main body was giggling while browsing the internet at home, so it wasn’t really boring.
There was anxiety about sending out two avatars with the same face at the same time, so Hans, who was scheduled to be sent to a different world, was trained intensively, and home training and leisure activities were combined with other avatars.
“Five-! The stage boss has already been cleared!”
“Okay, keep going!”
In the midst of playing for two players with a breath of fantasy, the front door opened and Hans, wet with sweat, came in and headed for the bathroom.
When I saw the guy who returned from extreme asceticism, I felt like he was doing something bad.
‘It’s a bit uncomfortable, but it’s also the same as saying sorry to the arm for intensive training on one arm and resting the body.’
The table was set before Hans, who was washing, came out.
It was a minor problem if it was minor, but food expenses were breaking up tremendously.
The three older men were exercising more than normal people, and one of them was overusing the body close to asceticism, so the calories consumed were more than expected.
When I think of the broken food expenses, I have tears in my eyes, but I decided to think of it as an investment.
As long as you bring in useful things from another world through your avatar, it will be enough money.
‘It’s a secret selling problem, I’ll figure it out later. Because the current avatar is an ability optimized for crime.’
Of course, he has no intention of making money by harming innocent people.
I am not in a position to be harmed by such people.
I will act in good faith in everything I do so that I am not ashamed of my family.
‘That’s why there is a need to go to another world.’
He was not strong compared to the other returnees, so there was no way to earn money on Earth.
The only thing that comes to mind right now is physical work.
“There is nothing more about the ‘Auterica dimension’ than that.”
“Is this the first place I went? Or maybe no one has returned yet. Anyway, it’s unfortunate.”
It has become a habit to organize your thoughts as if you were having a conversation with your avatar.
In the meantime, I haven’t had enough conversation partners…
From now on, you will gradually get better as you interact with other people.
and after some time.
Last check on the heavily armored avatar, just like I did at the beginning.
It wasn’t the equipment I used at the time, but it was recently acquired items.
I’m going to a different world where I don’t know what will happen, because I couldn’t send the things my parents had prepared.
They were prepared for emergencies, but they probably won’t be used in the future.
“Whoa, I think it’s really over now.”
In fact, I didn’t need to check this far because I could come and go at any time, but I checked it several times to relieve tension.
I knew it was safe, but the thought of going to another world made me nervous.
“Then, shall we really go? 「Summoning a new world sentinel」.”
And before my eyes, the transmission crew I saw a while ago was regenerated.
***
《Transfer to the Auterica dimension has been completed.》
The process was simple.
Activated after summoning the next-generation caster and stepping on top as an avatar.
I was able to come to another world so simply that the tension I had before was futile and futile.
When the transmission was completed and I opened my eyes, the scenery of the forest I had seen a while ago was in front of me.
No, strictly speaking, I should say that it was different from back then.
The tall trees were familiar to my eyes, but I couldn’t see the surrounding landscape very well.
“It’s night…”
He was left alone in the middle of the forest at night.
It was an unavoidable problem because the passage of time differed tenfold, but unfortunately, it was unavoidable.
I purposely arrived at the time when it was first sent, but there must have been an error as time passed.
As soon as I start, I have to survive in the night forest, so I’m not confident even in the bright forest.
After thinking for a while, I decided to move on.
‘In general, it would not be a good choice to move carelessly through the forest at night…’
Worrying for a while, I stepped forward without hesitation.
Some believed in physical abilities and “super recovery” that were strengthened while awakening, but the lack of a sense of crisis must have been the biggest cause.
The dimensional motion sickness I was worried about was fine thanks to the “Mind Hub”, and the thought of being perfectly safe made even a dangerous night hike a thrilling adventure.
When I lifted my head to look at the night sky, immersed in the romance of adventure in another world with such a light heart.
The first thing he saw was not the stars, but the eyes of the beast’s bright yellow eyes.
