Avatar (2)

“uh? Why is this all of a sudden?”

When I opened my eyes, which had been closed, and stood up, Bae Jung-jin turned purple again.

Hesitantly, he closed his eyes again and concentrated his mind on the avatar.

Again, Bae Seongjin started to emit a blue light.

I smiled sadly and turned my avatar’s head to check the clock, and now I have about one minute left.

‘…is this going to happen?’

I thought deeply about what had happened and realized.

“Avatar”‘s body perfectly matches his own body.

It is neither a welcome nor a separate existence.

To be honest, it was like a newly sprouted body part.

The resources required to maintain it are about the same as having to eat separately to supply the energy needed for physical activity.

The only downside would be the double the cost of food.

If the body is the right body including the head, the avatar is the left body without the head.

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

‘We can make Bae Sung-jin recognize the avatar as the main body!’

Fireworks went off in my head. My body trembled with joy.

When you smile with satisfaction that all problems have been resolved.

woo woo-

The magic circle that had been tinged with blue glowed brightly and vomited a vibrating sound.

and.

《Transfer starts.》

My avatar was sent to another world.

***

《Transfer to the Auterica dimension has been completed.》

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

《Currently owned karma 0. You can check it later in the karma shop.》

My vision brightened before I could even reflect on the phrases I saw during transmission.

The first thing I saw was the forest.

The tall trees, grass and flowers had been seen for a very long time.

It’s been two years since I’ve been locked up in my house, and I haven’t really enjoyed mountaineering before, so it’s probably the first time I’ve seen it in a few years.

When I realized that, I suddenly started sweating and breathing hard.

“Heh… heh heh heh heh.”

I thought it might be ok.

Because it wasn’t the Earth where the accident happened, I was summoned to a different world after awakening my supernatural powers, so I thought that something might happen.

It’s not even the main body now, it’s an alter ego using “avatar”.

It was a no-brainer.

He hurriedly closed his avatar’s eyes and focused his mind on the body that was on Earth.

When I opened my eyes, a sigh of relief leaked out at the appearance of the room that greeted me without change.

The stuffy feeling of sealing that I had been accustomed to over the years put my mind at ease.

For a while, I felt a strong sense of heterogeneity as I tried to ignore the sensations felt from the avatar side.

When I focused on the avatar and when I focused on the body, I realized the difference between the two, and the sense of disparity grew even more.

The wind in your ears, the scent of the forest, and the warmth of sunlight on your skin.

And all of the processes of inhaling and exhaling, ingesting food being digested and consuming it, were heterogeneous.

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

“Oops…”

I felt a strong motion sickness.

And soon I realized the cause.

‘I forgot that the passage of time was different…!’

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

Since the time is estimated based on the experiences of returning patients, there will be some error in each.

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

The motion sickness didn’t stop even though I focused my senses on the body as much as possible.

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

The avatar is standing still with eyes closed, but the metabolism is much faster than the body that is currently moving, and the difference is clearly felt.

‘I feel dizzy… I think I’m going to vomit.’

Yeah, I can’t. I can’t stand it.

“Unsummon.”

ah… that’s a bit better

***

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

When peace came to my heart, I had a lot of thoughts.

A sense of accomplishment that somehow managed to get through the crisis safely, and some regret.

Now, when I was feeling relieved that I would never be sent to another world, I suddenly remembered the text I had sent to my friend, and checked it in haste.

“Oh, luckily, I haven’t checked it yet.”

I deleted the text I sent and sent it again with a message asking for my regards.

There’s no need to worry about anything.

I think it’s a good thing I didn’t report it to the Skills Management Bureau because it happened like this.

Originally, I was going to report it right after I returned home… but my mind changed as the situation changed.

‘I have no intention of committing a crime with this, but it’s annoying to be cumbersome.’

In retrospect, it was an ability that was optimized for crime.

If you cover your face and disappear after a robbery, a perfect crime would be possible.

Even if you are suspicious, your body will prove your alibi.

If you cancel the summons, the extra belongings will be left in their place, but it’s up to you to find a way, so you’ll be able to figure it out somehow.

‘Of course it’s just a delusion.’

Didn’t you check a while ago that you can’t go out even with your avatar in the first place?

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

The crisis has passed and there will be no problems, and if you sharpen your abilities, it will be possible to play the game alone as a two-player.

that’s what happened

And without much thought, I summoned the unlocked avatar again.

“A feat accomplished! Returning to Earth on its own without going through the Karma Shop.”

《As a reward for accomplishing a feat that transcends the dimension, the special “Summon of a Transcendental Force” is granted. Once a day, you can move to the place you passed through the transmission team.”

“You accomplished a feat and made a huge impact on the world. Karma is greatly increased.”

“···yes?”

A phrase I thought I would never see appeared in front of my eyes.

***

Karma and Karma Shop.

It is a way for the awakened to return from this world.

Karma is accumulated in various ways, such as good deeds or evil deeds, killing or labor, and is given taking into account the influence it has had on others and the world.

By the way···.

“Check the Karma Shop.”

『Karma Shop』

『Return (1,000,000) (Unusable)』

『Enhance Unique Skills (300,000)』

『Status Enhancement – View Details』

『Retained Karma – 1,910,213』

Come to think of it, I was out of my mind and forgot about it, but there was a phrase about the Karma Shop when I just moved.

Did you say that you can collect karma and return to Earth through the ‘return’ item…?

‘Usually, I would come back by accumulating karma step by step, but I came back and filled it with karma.’

How to use karma is up to the will of the party.

Do you want to strengthen yourself with the amount of karma you have accumulated to collect more safely, or do you want to use ‘return’ by saving steadily without using it elsewhere?

It was important to distribute them appropriately according to the situation.

If it’s too weak, surviving itself is a problem, and if you only strengthened it recklessly, you could miss the time and die in an instant.

“But things will work out like this. ‘A feat that transcends dimensions’…”

It seems that the ‘system’ judged that the avatar sent to another world as a sender was re-summoned from Earth and returned beyond the dimension…

‘Isn’t this an error? Is this okay?’

Sending an avatar instead is like cheating on the system, but having received such a perk like this, I couldn’t help but notice.

‘Hey, a great system that spans all dimensions won’t penalize you for something like this. It’s not that I did anything wrong.’

Don’t leave a loophole in the first place.

Isn’t it the developer’s fault that the error occurred in the program?

He just did his best in everything he did!

It was a self-rationalization that started as an excuse, but as I pondered it, all of them were correct.

‘okay! I’m not wrong! double!’

Being proud of myself, I glanced at the sky for a moment, then looked at the Karma shop proudly.

With the mind of shopping with a generous bankbook.

‘Being on Earth, ‘return’ has no meaning, and the unique skill must mean ‘Avatar’.’

When I clicked the detailed view of the status enhancement, a number of dizzyingly numerous items covered my eyes.

There were several items such as body, mind, ability, and attribute power only in the ‘large category’.

In the detailed list of ‘muscle strength’, which is a sub-body of ‘body’, the upper and lower body muscles were divided, of course, there was also a separate list for each part such as the biceps and lats.

‘Agility’ also had detailed items such as reflexes and body acuity in addition to reflexes, and the same was true for other items.

‘···You put a lot of effort into the shop window without providing a status window!’

There was an item that caught my eye while I was looking at the Karma shop with a trembling feeling.

『Body – Stamina – Reinforcement of Resilience (10,000)』

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

There was no dramatic effect.

It’s natural that it’s not going to show up all at once due to muscle increase like muscle strength, but it’s going to be a gradual recovery.

『Enhance Resilience (20,000)』

So I chose one more time.

I felt it in my leg. It feels like the injury is recovering.

Even if it stays like this, it will recover someday.

『Enhance Resilience (40,000)』

chosen one more time.

My legs were tickled.

The recovery period would have been shorter, so it would be cured sooner or later.

The amount of karma consumed was doubled with each selection, but compared to the total amount I had, this amount was nothing.

『Enhance Resilience (80,000)』

chosen one more time.

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

It was my pain, the scar that said goodbye to my family, and the scar that made me stay in the room afterwards.

It was a symbol of the remnants of all kinds of negative emotions accumulated over the years, such as sadness, despair, pain, lack, resignation, and unhappiness.

『Enhance Resilience (160,000)』

So I chose one more time.

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

When I lifted the trousers, I could see smooth legs with no surgical scars.

And I knew.

“Resilience has exceeded the threshold. Acquires the skill “Super Recovery”.

The leg, which had been limping from the injury, has fully recovered and is stronger than before.

***

I was so moved by the fact that I had thrown off the bridle that had been holding me back for a while, but I was finally able to calm down.

Of course, not all problems are solved.

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

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

Even if it is difficult to regenerate the cut body part, any wounds will be able to recover quickly.

I calmed down and checked the Karma shop again.

『Karma Shop』

『Return (1,000,000) (Unusable)』

『Enhance Unique Skills (300,000)』

『Status Enhancement – View Details』

『Retained Karma – 1,600,213』

‘How much karma did you get for your feat?’

It’s not that I don’t like it, of course, but at this point, I was startled.

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

The awakening of 「Avatar」 was the beginning of all changes.

What more can you do if you enhance this skill?

Maybe it will help me to grow further.

The growth of unique skills is done in the direction desired by the awakened.

It is possible to grow by honing and proficiency without consuming karma, but the period can be greatly shortened through the karma shop.

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

However, in the current state, it was nothing more than a giraffe that could not be used.

I selected the item in the hope that if I strengthened my unique skill, it would grow in a way that would be helpful in this situation.

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

After all, the message of achievement of the feat appeared right after the re-summoning, and the avatar was pushed from the other side of consciousness.

But I knew immediately what had changed.

I have two brains.

No, there were two from the beginning, but if one mind used to go back and forth between the two bodies, now it is possible to skillfully divide the thought into two and move it.

I stood facing the avatar.

I was able to accept the two views naturally, and there was no sense of alienation at all.

“Hmm, you look handsome like a man.”

“That is it. Are you in good shape? Have you been exercising?”

“of course. It is the result of constant hard work.”

Now we could talk to each other smoothly.

.

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

We were able to see each other and make friends. I was able to do push-ups and sit-ups at the same time.

While cleaning the internet, I was able to play a two-player game that I could only play when my friends came!

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

It was a bit off the beaten path, but it was time to focus again.

As an avatar, I put aside the game console and summarized the unique skills I grew up with.

Not only did he become proficient in multitasking, but he also became able to think individually by using a separate brain.

Even then, seeing that he accepted it naturally, his status such as thinking ability and mental power seemed to have risen significantly.

‘There’s one more thing.’

As the avatar, he picked up the chair in the room.

And let’s cancel the summons…

The avatar disappeared with the chair.

Now, as an avatar, you can not only equip individual equipment, but also summon and unlock them with your belongings!

It was as if there was a kind of subspace, even though it was limited to the weight it could lift.

I nodded in satisfaction in the expectation that this ability would also be of great help in the future, and checked the Karma shop again.

『Enhance Unique Skills (400,000)』

Fortunately, it did not seem to increase by two times to enhance the unique skill.

Anyway, it could be a little stronger.

Without hesitation, when I selected 『Enhance Unique Skills』 once more, a phrase appeared in front of me with a headache.

《The unique skill grows and the potential blooms. Acquire the special skill “Mind Hub.”
