CHAPTER 6: DEAD AGAIN.
"I died?" said Original.
"No, Gary 3 died. You killed him..... Are you okay though?" (Gary 2)
" Ummm I think so, I think when I- ah I mean Gary 3 died I received his skills and also his memories." ( Original.)
" Sweet! Well not about killing a Gary but think about it! That means you don't need to waste time on training skills when you could just kill us! ...Fuck thats dark, anyway you mentioned you get our memories right? Was dying painful, I mean dying again?". (Gary 2 )
"It was a surprise to be sure, I have memories of the battle and the last couple of hours but from a different perspective. I remember when I was created and fighting the goblins. Fortunately my fiery death is fuzzy, just a red blur flying at my face then poof! I'm here now." (Original)
"Well that's haunting, but also comforting to know that essentially we can't die. If all our memories pass onto the original Gary then we never truly die" Said Gary 4.
"...What happens when Original dies though? Is that it? or do we get another isekai?" Gary 5 said, the quietest of the bunch.
"I'm not keen to find out, but it's enough to know that we found a cheat to raise skills." ( Gary one)
"Hmm I don't think it's too much of a cheat , my club skill is only level 4. How much was Gary 3's?".
"2...so it's another half again? Also no experience gained, probably not worth it to just level up your army and then slaughter them for skills. Well at least not now, anything else we should know?" (Gary 2 )
"Yeah, Gary One check your status, anything?" (Original )
"Yeah...oh? Class has changed, why me though?" (Gary one.)
" We are both the highest level, specifically level 5. Based on my isekai studies it's easy to assume classes become unlocked at 5. However I don't want to do anything in case it's permanent and can't be changed." Original said.
"Good idea, We're disposable as clones anything goes wrong you can just try it on another clone. Okay let's have a look."

Testing and being careful not to accidentally choose one. Gary One wanted more information but didn't know if selecting it would provide info without accidentally assigning it, he mentally selected to cancel.
"It's alright, there's a cancel button. But don't select anything yet we don't know if you can still back out. What are your classes? Mine are-" Gary one said.
"Interesting, I don't have a scout,tank nor rouge. I do however have 'Mage' and 'assassin'." Said original.
" Huh, I wonder what the rest of the Garys will get for classes. We should test this immediately. Classes are a path to power...in games, that is, I'm gonna select Fighter for now." (Gary one)

Gary One felt a strange knowledge course through his brain down his body and seeping into his muscles, the skills he brought downloaded straight into his memories. It was just like that experience when you have an epiphany or realize you left the oven on.
It wasn't just know-how that increased but an improvement to his strength and endurance as well, he felt POWER.
The stimuli that covered Gary's entire body was unlike anything he felt before, even better than when he ate an entire cake for his 12th birthday..It was... addicting, so he decided to invest his attributes straight into strength...all 10 of them.
"Ha ha POWER! This rush, this feeling that everything could be crushed within my palms! Why I could - oomphf!" (Gary one), now laying on the floor.
"Calm down you power maniac, you can still get hurt." Gary 2 and 5 said while sitting on top of Gary one's chest.
"Well looks like having a class is powerful in many ways, we need to continue research on this. The natives would have centuries on us we need to play catch up! We have to create even mor- {Gurble garble gurgle}. (Original)
"Ha ha, but let's have lunch first."
The rest eagerly agreed, even Gary One who was coming down from his power trip. Everybody looked around for something to eat, not really knowing what to expect.
"So guys what'll it be Goblin or Gary?". Said Original.
