Chapter 76: Chapter 73 Another Me!

Chapter 74 Another Me!

With them now busy with training inside the tower, I finally have free time.

Now then, let's see the shiny stones I have.

Lying on my bed is the relics and the other stones, starting from the Mushroom Relic I got back from the merchants up to my latest one, the Shadow Relic.

Since the Ogre relic and the Mushroom King's Relic gave me a skill back then, I have a feeling the other one's could too.

So let's look at each of them, system.

[System Inspection....

And Finally,

Due to insufficient Authority the host can only be given partial details. ]

System...are you finally broken? I thought while laughing.

[System Response:

Shut up or I'll forcefully take your Relics. ]

My laughter died in my throat. "W-Wait, I was joking! You're the smartest, most intelligent system in the universe!"

[System Response:

I'll let you off for now. ]

Haa....

I let out a sigh, quickly changing the subject instead it decides to take back it's decision.

Now, system please?

[System Notification:

Granting the skills associated with the Relic shards to the host... Completed.

New Skills!

Illusion (Active): Mimic Relic skill. Can create illusions based on the host's desires. With enough mana, it can turn a losing battle into a winning advantage through bluffing!

Mana Cost: 300 per 5 minutes

Duplicate (Active): Mimic Relic skill. Creates a copy of the host. Depending on the mana supplied, the clone can last anywhere from a few hours to over a year.

Mana Cost: 300 per 30 minutes

Regeneration (Passive): Troll Relic skill. Enhances the host's natural regeneration rate.

Shadow Magic: Shadow Relic skill. Grants the host control over shadow-based spells and attacks.

I rolled my eyes. "Great. Even my clone is full of herself."

Regeneration

For this test, I took a small knife and hesitated. "This better work," I muttered.

I made a tiny cut on my palm and watched in amazement as the wound closed instantly, leaving no scar.

"Sweet," I said, flexing my hand. "Goodbye, scars. Hello, perfect complexion!"

But I wasn't done. I tested it further by letting the duplicate spar with me. My regeneration healed minor bruises and scrapes almost as fast as I got them.

"No more need for potions!" I said, dodging a punch from the duplicate.

---

I cancelled my Duplicate and let it dissipitate for now, it was sad seeing me go but the system said she's not dead and told me to stop being dramatic it said she's just gonna be floating inside my mana core until I decided to call her out.

The system also said that my clone won't forget about what happens after they are created. Which means I now have a twin! And possibly more later!

Shadow Magic

Finally, I activated Shadow Magic.

Dark energy swirled around me as shadows came to life, twisting and stretching under my control. At first, I created simple shapes—a spear, a shield, a rope. But as I practiced, I grew bolder.

"Let's try something big," I said, focusing hard.

The shadows surged, forming a massive pair of wings on my back. With a dramatic flap, I sent a gust of wind through the room, knocking over a chair.

"This is amazing!" I shouted, spinning around.

The shadows shifted again, forming into tendrils that snaked across the floor. I willed them to grab a book and bring it to me, grinning when it worked perfectly.

But my excitement got the better of me. I tried to form a shadow sword, only to lose control. The tendrils whipped around wildly, knocking over more furniture.

"Ahh! Stop, stop!" I yelled, frantically canceling the skill.

Everything stilled, leaving me surrounded by a mess.

[System Notification:]

Reminder: Reckless use of skills may result in unintended consequences.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it," I muttered, rubbing my forehead.

I guess I can't do both until I level the skill up, huh?

---

I flopped onto my bed, exhausted but exhilarated.

"This day will be marked as the day I, Aria, became overpowered!" I declared dramatically.

Even those squirrels in the forest would have to watch out now.

"Muahahaha!" I cackled, imagining myself as the ultimate ruler of this realm.

The system chimed in, almost like it was rolling its eyes.

[System Response:

Don't get cocky.]

I snorted, grinning at the ceiling. This was just the beginning.

Little Theater:

Small Theater

System: "Host, your clone is smarter than you."

Aria: "She's me! Of course, she's brilliant!"

Clone: Smirking "Correction: I'm the better you."

Aria: "...."
