My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

Avatar (1)

＜Those who have awakened from this ability are sent to another world, and can return to Earth by fulfilling certain conditions.＞

It was a succinct expression of the present era.

It was the root cause of the chaos in society today.

– A big fire broke out in a commercial building in Jeollanam-do, and the fire department is currently working to extinguish it.

-The arsonist disappeared after escaping from the scene.

“It’s exceptionally extreme these days.”

I turned my head as I watched today’s news on TV.

Accidents happen everywhere these days.

It has nothing to do with me, who is confined to the corner of the room.

‘Desperate crime before transfer to another world with a low survival rate. And even the confusion caused by those who returned…’

As if ignoring the apocalyptic theory of extinction in AD 2000, the world is still intact even after twenty years have passed since then.

‘No, it’s too badass to say that it’s okay.’

The world did not perish, but humanity had to adapt to new changes.

And I was the victim of that transition.

“········”

It has already been two years since I lost my family due to the terror of the Awakened, and I was locked up in a corner of my room as a loner.

ding dong—

Suddenly a bell sounded.

I limped one leg, which became uncomfortable due to the aftermath of the accident, and headed for the intercom.

‘Is it already that day…’

A man with a face was standing in front of the door with a businesslike expression.

“hello. It came from the Transmission Investigation Division of the Intelligence Management Bureau. Are you Sung-Hyeon Han?”

As soon as I opened the door and met him, I heard an office-like voice.

We’ve seen each other a few times, but every time I see that yangban, it’s always that sound.

“Yeah… well, as you can see”

The investigator, ignorant of the blunt answer, glanced at the electronic pad and my face a few times, then said goodbye right away.

“Yes, it is confirmed. If you wake up, please report it to the Skills Management Bureau. Have a good day.”

shudder—

The exchange with an outsider after half a year ended in less than a minute.

-Isn’t the problem that awakenings and transmissions happen randomly, so there is no way to know who awakened and when?

– Legally, reporting after awakening is the rule, but where in the world does the world run according to the principle? We need a more systematic and fundamental solution!

I left behind the panel noises on the TV and headed to the kitchen.

‘Oh, come to think of it, I ran out of food.’

Still, I tried to open the cupboard just in case, but only an empty space greeted me.

I picked up my smartphone to order food with a tongue-in-cheek, and then put it down.

‘···done. I’ll have it delivered later.’

The accident took away my family and my legs as well as my courage.

After that day, I was confined to the house due to the trauma of the outside world, and I was only communicating with the world through the Internet with my only friend.

Well, that’s why I get confirmation calls every month and visit confirmation every half a year. I’ll have to endure it.

-I mean, what you’re doing is a transmission investigation, it’s not effective! It’s just the result of the desk administration…

-But you can’t just leave your hands alone…

Returning to the living room, I started my two-year routine using the sound of the TV as a radio.

“Woo-wook, hook!”

All kinds of exercise equipment on one side of the living room.

Since they were prepared for the rehabilitation of the legs, they have been used without missing a single day.

‘···No matter what I did, it had no effect.’

My body was healthy, but that was all.

There was no improvement at all in the restoration of the leg, which was the original goal.

Even though I know it’s no use, I can’t let go and just keep repeating it habitually.

If I can overcome obstacles, I think I will be able to overcome trauma as well.

I thought that if I gave up even this, there would be nothing left for me.

“Whoa…”

I put down the dumbbells in a sudden sense of shame, stared blankly at the ceiling, and fell into thoughts.

How did this happen?

I’m not the only one unhappy in the world, so why couldn’t I overcome it?

Why do my whole body tremble and panic when I take even one step outside?

If I had had more courage, would something have changed?

If only I could get out of this corner and go anywhere…

It was time to fall into the swamp of self-hatred.

《Detecting dimensional inflection points. Connect to the Akasha system.”

I jumped up from my chair at the phrase that suddenly appeared in front of me.

《The unique skill is awakened.》

“uh? suddenly? I?”

And soon went into a panic.

Awakening of supernatural powers is the same word as sending to another world.

But, since I can’t even go outside the door, there’s no way I can’t live in a different world if I have a supernatural power, right?

But, as if my circumstances didn’t matter, the letters kept popping up in front of my eyes.

《The awakening is complete. The unique skill 「Avatar」 has been awakened. 》

《24 hours left until delivery.》

And with that last sentence, I lost my mind.

***

“Keep… the head….”

My head hurts terribly.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

I woke up with a throbbing thirst in my throat and gulped water from the kitchen until I realized it.

‘uh? Are your legs okay?’

Slowly move your legs around.

It’s not fully recovered yet, but it’s much more comfortable than before.

‘Strengthening the body after awakening? If this continues to grow, isn’t it possible to be cured?’

I stopped the happiness circuit and immediately faced reality.

What is the probability of surviving, growing, and returning to another world with uncomfortable legs in a country where there is still a problem of not being able to go outside?

‘What is the probability? Sooner or later, he’ll die somewhere.’

With so many athletes and special forces members unable to return, what can I do?

Of course, I couldn’t just sit back and give up.

“”Avatar” la…”

When I thought about this ability, the information engraved in my head came to mind when I woke up.

＜Unique skill 「Avatar」 – Creates a clone.＞

“Even so, you’re too unkind…”

No, I had heard of it.

In this awakening, there was no intuitive and friendly status window like a game or detailed skill description.

I had to figure out the physical abilities and states by moving my body directly, and all the minimal information about skills engraved on my head.

The direction of future growth was entirely up to me.

“Let’s try it once. I have no idea how much I can do with my alter ego.”

It wasn’t difficult to use this ability.

Close your eyes and immediately after using as engraved on your hair.

I realized that the unique skill was properly activated.

I opened my eyes slowly.

I was in front of you.

A thick sweatshirt, frizzy hair, and eyes open as if observing.

I looked around to see if there were any strange places.

Wherever I look, I am

Even moving his head around to observe was like looking in a mirror.

You can feel the warmth of each other when you reach out your right hand to shake hands.

Clear evidence that it has a reality, not an illusion.

Then, suddenly, I felt a sense of alienation in my vision.

We couldn’t feel it well because we were focused on each other as if looking in a mirror, but our fields of vision overlapped.

Standing back to back, I could see more clearly.

Now I can see both front and back at the same time!

However, after recognizing a separate body, it became more difficult to move the body.

Moving the two bodies separately makes my limbs twisted and my extended vision is dizzy.

It feels like a separate body part that only the brain shares, so it’s very heterogeneous.

‘Why did you have two brains!’

But you have to get used to it.

Because this is the only way I can survive.

rumbling—

Come to think of it, I couldn’t eat anything today and fell asleep as if fainting

Let’s think about eating chicken first. It’s all about eating and living.

after a few hours.

“Oh, this can’t be done.”

It was also a bunch.

got used to it to some extent.

Now, summoning and disarming could be done skillfully, and if one body was stationary, the other body could move as usual.

However, when both bodies tried to move at the same time, they stopped halfway through, and all that was done was to move slowly.

‘Can I move properly outside before then…’

If I had enough time, I might be able to get used to using this ability more, but I only have very little time left.

“Now we have to prepare for transmission…”

I took out the items I had at home and the things I had ordered before practice and organized them.

Survival items such as fire steel and multi-tools, portable kitchen knives, and easy-to-eat preserves and water bottles were packed in a large bag.

He couldn’t bring a full-fledged weapon.

For some reason, weapons were restricted from transferring to another world.

Attempts to bring firearms from abroad were unsuccessful, and I was able to find out that the knife was the Maginot line among the cold weapons.

Safety equipment such as an open-face motorcycle helmet that will not block your view, shin guards and wrist guards, and a sword-proof vest.

I took out the items my parents had prepared before they died and put them on one by one.

Since you don’t know who will be sent when, these are things that you bought in advance and put them in your storage room.

‘I didn’t know I’d really use it…’

Realizing that he hadn’t contacted his only friend, he called, but he didn’t pick up.

Come to think of it, I said that I would not be able to contact you because I had work for a while.

Unfortunately, I had no choice but to send a text message saying thank you and put my phone down.

Finally, I took control of my mind by looking at the information on the site that had been organized about this world.

The transmitted different world is random, and there are over hundreds of places that have been revealed so far, and it is not known exactly where it will go, but it is better than not knowing anything.

Anxiety about abilities that lack many skills due to lack of skill.

Worrying about whether we can adapt to other dimensions than simply outside.

Nevertheless, the thought of trying to survive somehow disturbs the mind and body.

The moment I calmed my mind and took a deep breath.

Under my feet, there was a blue light transmission.

《10 minutes left until delivery.》

I glanced down at the otherworldly transfer camp beneath my feet.

After standing on it for 10 minutes, you will be sent to another world, and you will struggle to survive in an unknown place.

‘Did you say that the aging of the body follows the Earth’s time while you are in another world? As long as you survive, it will certainly be beneficial.’

The flow of time varies from world to world, but on average it is said to be about 1:10.

‘…It was said that they usually had to survive for a year, in another world, for about 10 years to return. Ha… it’s been 10 years. I’m not joking.’

With that thought in mind, I took a step back and unknowingly got off the top of the transmission line.

Then the blue light started to glow red gradually.

The red light of the transmission crew is nothing less than a warning.

In that state, when the time comes, the Awoken will be forcibly sent to another world.

Leave all the luggage I’ve been carrying now and go barefoot.

When the situation is right in front of me, my heart is troubled again.

I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t reported my awakening to the Supernatural Powers Bureau because I was out of my mind, but I know something about the current situation.

I immediately erased it from my mind.

‘Ah… if someone would go up there instead of me…’

Of course, it was just a meaningless thought.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been more than 20 years since the awakening and transfer of another world began, and that people all over the world have tried everything that they can do.

Even if someone else climbs it, the transmission team will remain in red, and the person who climbed on top will be ignored and the Awakened will be sent away.

The otherworldly transmission team recognizes and operates only the awakened person himself.

Then, suddenly, a thought flashed through my head.

‘Maybe… No, it can’t be. But maybe?’

I immediately used “Avatar”.

Unlike me, who was heavily armed with all kinds of items, the summoned avatar was the same as in the first sloppy training clothes.

As he moved while recalling the sensations he had been practicing, his clone went up to the top of Song Jin.

And soon the color of Bae Jung Jin started to change.

“do! done?”

I wondered if the light of Song Jin would change to blue light, but stopped in the middle.

I let out a sigh of disappointment as I looked at the purple glowing Bae Seong-jin.

‘Well then. It can’t be that easy.’

I was curious to see what would happen over time in that state, but I had no intention of experimenting with it myself.

If something goes wrong, the survival probability, which is still at the bottom, will converge to zero.

I thought it was good or bad if it worked, but I guess I was expecting a lot without realizing it.

Losing strength in his legs, he sat down and looked at his watch, and there were only five minutes left.

There really wasn’t much time.

Now I have to eat my heart out and go upstairs.

I closed my eyes tightly and took one last deep breath.

And in ‘sight’.

I saw myself sitting down with my eyes closed, heavily armed.

As one side of the field of view was limited, the nerves were naturally focused on the other side, and most of the mind was focused on the avatar without realizing it.

And Song Jin started to emit blue light.
