"Ah yes, that's right. The whole reason for which we picked this skill." said one of the Garys.
Yes that is correct, the Garys had a plan. They/he had always dreamt of the day of his Isekai Day and with it his best actions to take. For their goal to conquer the world Gary could only rely on "himself", the history of his home world showed that the native people didn't take kindly to conquerors. If [clone] works like he expected to then he would have an OP army. (Overpowered for the layman)
Every skill that he possessed, every level and experience he had. There were now two.
'Well it's now half powerful instead, but I'm sure that would all work out in the end .'
"Alright seems like this skill has some setbacks, but that's for future Gary. Now listen up here's the plan". (Original Gary)
----------------------------------------
List of things to do for world domination:
1: Level up.
2: Make more Garys.
3: Repeat till conquer world.
----------------------------------------
" Yes, leveling up is most important especially for you my copycat companion. We need to know if you can grow and make more children." said Original.
" Uck, That's too much, let's stick to Garys." Copycat / Gary one said.
"Fair enough, now unless you want to fight naked wear the goblins loin cloth or his skin. Now let's find more Gobs!" Original said.
"Dibs on the stick". Gary one said.
"Tsk, such disrespect, the leader always has dibs on the stick, no take backs." Original said.
"Damn, can't wait till I can make my own Gary to push around, then I will be able to have a stick...a bigger one too". Gary one said.
"Yup and don't you forget it." Original said not hearing the last part Gary one whispered.
After a couple of hours fighting and leveling they decided to stop, one was more exhausted than the other. Why, you ask? Well one was playing tank (damage sponge) distracting the goblins, while the other waited for a chance to use a stick. Can you guess which one was more tired?

"Huff puff....next...next time I get to hit them..." Gary 1 said on the ground struggling to breathe, his last few hours dodging goblins had exhausted the poor clone.
Now both boys are 2 levels higher than before, Original now being level 3 and Gary one being level 2 they decided it was Gary time.
"Ready? [Clone]!"
[Cloning...please choose.]
----------------------------------------
1/2 stats | cost: All mana.
1/4 stats | cost: half mana
1/8 stats | cost: quarter mana
etc..
----------------------------------------
"Hoh, so there's options now? interesting. Well I'm glad that I don't always have to use my whole MP (Manapool), I need to save some for a trump card. What? Of course I have one! Anyway let's try the other options...hmm let's go for 2 Garys, each being level 1 ." Original said.
Copy Gary copied Original and made 2 more clones himself. “Though these guys will be level 0, just like how I was when created, how fast time flies...ah the memories.”
{poof!} x 4.
And now the nudist colony has grown.
" This is becoming a sausage fest". Original said.
"Well unless you want to share some clothes you'll have to shut up." Gary 2 said.
"Yeah, well maybe we should take one of your ribs and make a Garyine" Gary 3 said while winking.
"Calm down you buffoons, now tell me, did you guys keep the skills?" Gary one said.
Each copy (except Gary one) checked their statuses after which they showed everyone, half of the new batch had the skill [dodge].
[Dodge lv 0] ( able to increase the effect of dodging while dodging.)
The half that were created from Original had the skill [Club].
[Club lv 0] ( melee attack skill, increase damage)
Yes, while the two Garys were leveling and fighting they both gained a skill for their efforts. Now they were checking if the new clones had inherited them.
"Wait, I don't see pain resistance on my guys." said Gary one.
"Hmmm, does it take half the amount of skills that can be carried over?" (Gary 4).
"No, otherwise [Clone] wouldn't have also been passed". (Gary 5)
"I think that skill is special enough to not take it into the equation". Author said.
"Well the only other thing is that my [Dodge] is level 1 while pain resistance is still at 0". (Gary one)
"Ooooooohhhh ahhhh." Said all the other Garys.
"So skill levels get halved too, damn. I will abuse you [Clone] just you wait!" Original shouted while shaking his fist.
"Alright I guess that's that, let's find some more goblins!" (Gary ??.)
"YEAH!" said the murder squad.
So off they went, after a couple of hours with only fighting a few goblins in between. The goblin encounter started to trickle down, however the fights led them to the direction from which the goblins came from.
The squad (party) was arranged with Original in the middle, the two heavy hitters behind him. The two dodgers in front of OG while leaving Gary one out at the very front acting as scout (meat shield). Eventually following the path they arrived at an entrance to a cave, but everyone knew it was more than that.
‘Goblin Den’ Was all they thought, they were close enough they smelled the green skins inside. Lucky for the party, the copious amounts of dried goblin blood from previous ‘leveling’ masked their Gary flesh scent from the green noses.
Wanting to take the advantage in battle the group creeped forward slowly, weapons ready for battle.
