Chapter 4 - Avatars (2)

One set was the same as before.

The other set was a different person.

It took a while for me to get used to having split vision like this, but I was able to slowly make out the details.

"This is me?"

Or rather, it was the face that I had seen in the mirror earlier.

"Shared Senses, this is what it has to be."

That was the only explanation for this phenomenon, but how was I supposed to release this?

It was slowly getting more and more disorientating seeing doubles like this and there was no way to function like this.

"Shut it off." I finally said in one desperate attempt when things were getting dizzier for me, but it actually turned off to my surprise. It seemed that I was still the one that was in charge of these skills, so I could turn them on and off when I wanted.

After taking another moment to recover, I started looking at the avatar that was in front of me.

"He really is handsome." This was the only thing that I could say as I looked at this avatar in front of me.

It was expected of a character that was designed to be a hero, but it was a bit infuriating seeing how handsome he was. Even though he was an avatar of mine, he was actually much more handsome than I was…

At the same time…

"Well a peek wouldn't hurt…" I said as I compared the two of us, but I was defeated in the end…

Once I finished looking over this new avatar of mine, I realized that there was a problem.

"What am I supposed to do with him? It's not as if I could explain why there's this person that suddenly appeared in my room, right?" A bitter smile appeared on my face as I said this to myself.

Even if I was the son of a noble, it wouldn't make sense if I had some guy appear in my room.

At the same time, with how handsome he was, it might cause some kind of misunderstanding.

Someone might even think that I played for the other team…

"Are you done?"

I was caught off guard when I heard this before I looked at the one that spoke with a shocked look.

That was because the one that spoke was the avatar that I just created.

"How are you talking?" I couldn't help asking in a slow and hesitant voice.

"Why shouldn't I be able to talk? I'm an avatar, it doesn't mean that I'm an empty body, it means that I'm another version of you." He said as if it was a natural thing.

Then before I could say anything, I found that there was a screen that appeared in front of him as well. It seemed that it really was as he said, we were both technically the same person even if we had different stats and appearances.

So in the end, it was only natural that he would be able to access the system as well.

"Just what were you thinking?"

I was caught off guard again by his sudden words before looking at him with a confused look and saying, "What do you mean?"

"My name, could you have thought of anything more chuuni than this?" He said while pointing at the screen in front of him.

I didn't even need to look to know what he was referring to, but I couldn't help feeling a bit offended. After all, I felt that it was quite the good name when I came up with it.

As if he could read my mind, he said, "Think about it from my perspective!"

I raised a brow before slowly understanding what he meant by this.

Still, I had to defend it since I felt that it was quite the good name.

"Don't you start on that. I know that you think that it's a good name as well since you're me."

"Think about how it feels having to go around with that name!"

"Well, I think that it's a cool name."

"Then you can have it and I'll take over your identity!"

The two of us continued to argue for a bit before suddenly coming to a stop.

Looking at each other, we both said, "There's no point arguing with each other is there?"

This was the one thing that we came to an agreement on without any hesitation.

After all, the two of us both knew that there was no point in arguing between ourselves like this. It was even strange that the two of us were arguing with one another when we were technically the same person.

So after a moment of silence, I asked, "What do we do now?"

Gran Jurad hesitated for a second before saying, "Well, I guess we should plan what we're going to do next."

I gave a nod in agreement, but even then…

The two of us just sat there in silence as we thought about what our next move should be.

Then all of a sudden, Gran Jurad said, "Well, I guess we should try making our way in this world? We can do whatever we want, so why not use our avatars to become whatever we want to be?"

I slowly nodded in agreement, but I still had to say, "But what exactly do we do first?"

"Well, I'm supposed to be the hero, right?" Gran Jurad asked in a deliberate tone.

I raised a brow as I looked at him, but I slowly nodded in agreement again.

After seeing this, Gran Jurad continued by saying, "Then shouldn't I have a demon king to fight?"

The two of us looked at each other in silence as our expressions slowly started to change.

But in the end, I immediately opened up the system panel and started working on the second avatar.

He was right.

Since we were in this new world, we might as well make the most of it.

Only…

"What is this name?!"
