“….Status window.”

[ Name: Venice / Age: 20 years old / Male ]

[Unique Ability: Clone Wizard (???): You can summon your clone. The clone’s form and abilities are random, and you can control it like your own body.

You don’t feel the pain your clone feels! If the clone dies or is destroyed, the user can retrieve it again!]

what. A real status window comes to mind.

Confused, I mumbled something about the status window, half in anticipation and half out of curiosity, but a blue window actually appeared in front of my eyes.

“Wow. Have you really come to this world?”

I obviously just slept like usual and woke up, but an unfamiliar ceiling caught my eye.

The wooden house and bed I saw for the first time, and the inexplicable feeling of foreignness I felt inside my body. The sound of birds singing outside the window, which is difficult to hear in the forest of the apartment.

It seemed like I had come to another world overnight.

“Anyway. Venice…is it? This body…”

[ Name: Venice / Age: 20 years old / Male ]

According to the status window, this body’s name seemed to be Venice.

“Huh. Well…”

I never thought that reincarnation in another world, which I had only heard about, would happen to me. however…

“No cell phone. There is no internet… no computer, so what fun can you have?”

I am a typical internet junkie. This means that, except for sleeping time, I have never been away from the Internet for even 10 minutes.

But living in a world where none of that exists? For the rest of your life?!

“Kwaaagh….”

It feels like my eyes are already getting dark. I… what fun can I have in life?

“Ah. Status window.”

[Unique Ability: Clone Wizard (???): You can summon your clone. The clone’s form and abilities are random, and you can control it like your own body.

You don’t feel the pain your clone feels! If the clone dies or is destroyed, the user can retrieve it again!]

As I was groaning with my head on the bed, an idea suddenly occurred to me and I brought up the status window.

Be a self-immolationist.

“If you use this well, wouldn’t it be possible to play it like a full dive game?”

As someone who was addicted to gaming, I had always dreamed of a full dive that would naturally involve all five senses.

It’s an alter ego that feels like my own body. Isn’t this just a full dive? You don’t even feel pain?!

“Good. Because there is nothing else to do other than this. Would you like to try it?”

Since I was the top ranker in all the games I played, I was confident in controlling things.

“But how do you summon it?”

[To summon an clone, just shout ‘Summon clone!’]

…Are you listening to me? Anyway, thank you.

“Summon your alter ego.”

I felt a feeling in my chest as if a little something was missing from the bucket that was containing it.

“This is what happened, right? But where is my alter ego?”

It definitely felt like a summons had been made, but the alter ego was nowhere to be seen anywhere in the house.

[The alter ego is randomly generated somewhere on the continent! The same goes for its appearance and abilities! To assimilate with your alter ego, shout ‘Assimilate’ and your current body will fall asleep and wake up in your alter ego’s body! To wake up from sleep, you can just say ‘unassimilation’, right?]

aha. That’s how it happens.

“Then you should try it right away. ‘Fairytale.’ ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyelids suddenly began to close, as if he had taken a sleeping pill. A feeling of drowsiness that I could not bear came over me, and I surrendered myself to the drowsiness.

[Well then, have a good time!]

***

“….gasp.”

I immediately raised my upper body from the soft bed. It certainly didn’t look like the room I had just been in, so it seemed like the assimilation had probably succeeded.

“Status Window.”

The boy’s soft voice disappeared, and only the deep male voice rang out.

[ Name: Venice / Age: 29 / Male ]

[Unique Ability (Magic Eye): This is an eye that can see magical power. You can see the trajectory of magic power and use magic power more smoothly.

Unique Ability (Talent Identification): You can identify the other person’s talent. You can see your unique abilities and potential at a glance.

Unique Abilities (Superior Body): Your body is superior, as if it was made by God! Stamina, strength, situational judgment ability…. All other physical abilities are greatly improved!]

“….Wow. I’m crazy.”

It was a body with as many as three unique abilities. Even each and every unique ability was fraudulent.

What kind of alter ego is more powerful than the main body?

“Anyway, my body is full of strength.”

Perhaps it was because of his unique ability, ‘superior body’, but his entire body was overflowing with power. It felt like I could easily lift a car right now.

“Tskcha.”

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

“….Oh.”

The mirror installed in the bathroom reflected the image of a man who looked sharp and fierce, but every ten passersby would say he was handsome.

Jet-black hair the color of the night sky, and bright red eyes that seem to be filled with blood.

At the same time, the strong muscles and scars all over his body further enhanced the man’s wild beauty.

…Anyway, what era is this? What bathroom has a sink and flush toilet?

There’s even a shower hose?

Anyway, I went back to bed.

“Uh. What is this?”

Next to the fluffy bed, a piece of paper was placed on top of a dresser with a small lamp on it. Is it a letter?

I picked up the paper and started reading one letter at a time.

– Hello, Captain. As of today, you have been appointed as the 6th leader of the ‘Scar Mercenaries’.

Please come to the ‘Scar Mercenary Group’ base by 12 o’clock, dressed neatly and with an attitude befitting the dignity of a leader. thank you

-Vice leader of the Scar mercenaries, Seris.

It was a really concise and clean piece of writing that felt cold right from the words. The person who wrote this article, Seris, is probably very strict.

“Scar mercenary leader?”

According to the letter, it seemed that I had been appointed as the 6th leader of the ‘Scar Mercenaries’. A mercenary group? There is such a thing?

Tiring-

[This world is a world where magic power, abilities, and monsters coexist. As the number of people suffering from the overflow of monsters increased, mercenary groups were created to specialize in subduing monsters.

You once commanded the entire empire, but you must fulfill your duties as the 6th leader of the ‘Scar Mercenary Corps’, which is slowly fading away!]

Oh… that’s how it happened. It’s like the starting point of a game. This is getting more and more fun, isn’t it?

“But what time is it?”

The letter clearly said to come to the base by 12 o’clock. The clock… Ah. There it is.

11:29 p.m.

“….Huh?”

I rubbed my eyes again and looked at the clock, but the clock cruelly showed ’11:30′.

“……You’re late!!”

I don’t even know the geography of this place. There was only 30 minutes left.

Cradangtangtang- Crudangtang!

“Quickly….quickly..!”

I quickly got dressed, put on my shoes, and headed out the door.

“Wow…”

As I stepped out the door, a village in a fantasy world that could only be seen in various animations and games was revealed.

People wearing various weapons and armor, and merchants soliciting customers.

“Oops. This is not the time.”

My eyes were drawn to that strange sight, but now was not the time to be like this.

[….Leria Village 13-8.]

On the back of the letter sent by the vice-captain was what appeared to be the address of the Scar mercenary group’s base.

‘…Is this Leria Village?’

This was my first time learning the name of this village. Where on earth should 13-8 go?

I guess I’ll just ask people passing by.

“…Ah! Are you a guest? Welcome!”

I saw a woman selling fruit right in front of me, so I approached her.

‘Ah yes. Do you know where building 13-8 is? It’s my first time in this town…’

I politely tried to ask the woman for her location. however..

“…Please tell me the location of this place.”

What I was trying to say was quite condensed and flew sharply towards the woman.

My tone of voice changed naturally, as if my body was rejecting it, not my will.

‘No, what is it?”

“…………………..”

[In case of words or actions that do not match the personality type of the alter ego, they can be automatically corrected!]

If other people are watching, you have to say and act according to the concept of your alter ego?

Earlier, when I was alone at home, I definitely did whatever I wanted. This status window probably seemed like a terrible concept.

“Ah…yes… From the fountain in front of here, just take the road on the left…”

Although it is not my will, I take a high-handed attitude towards a woman. At that sight, the woman trembled, unable to make eye contact, and gave directions.

“Hmm. Thank you. Okay then. ”

“Yes…”

‘…….sorry!’

I apologized to the woman in my heart. It won’t reach the woman, but… anyway.

I slowly started walking toward the path the woman pointed out.

‘no! It’s too late now! ‘Run!’

Maybe it was because of this damn concept, but I couldn’t run.

Sang Tae-chang must have thought that jumping up and down with such an appearance and personality was frivolous and unsuitable.

Contrary to my urgent situation, my body moved forward, looking around at the surroundings.

I showed off my spirit by walking less than 300 meters in more than 15 minutes.

‘We’ve finally arrived…!’

From a distance, I saw soldiers lined up on the parade ground in front of a large building. It seemed like that place was probably the base of the ‘Scar Mercenaries’.

“You came just on time.”

“….um.”

As I arrived in front of it, a beautiful woman with ponytail hair and a cold look spoke to me.

“Nice to meet you. Captain. This is Seris, vice-leader of the ‘Scar Mercenaries’.”
