It seems as if his image was cast on the intruder.
"Who are you?". Zaru asked with a faint uncertainty as to what he was seen. But the intruder didn't answer him as it walks to him only to stop barely at Zaru hands reach.
Zaru mind immediately starts getting paranoid as he tries to get up to gain a distance first. As he was getting up he felt a familiar breath, then he, instantly stop. For a moment he felt some kind of connection with the person in from of him.
"I am...."
"Were the same" The intruder's voice was, small and barely articulated, but it sounded laund and clear in Zaru hears.
"Zumm!!" At this moment as if a connection has been established, Zaru discover a constantly flow of information passing through his mind, there was a vivid image, sound and smell as if it was him felling it.
He was confused at first but then he knew this information didn't belong to him at all. Uncounsly Zara lowers his hand as if felling that the intruder wasn't an intruder at all. But itself or more concrete his copy front body to soul.
"How?" Zaru knitted his brows in confusion as there wasn't any memory of the deceased body about this.
By now Zaru hasn't so shocked any more as if he had come to the realization that nothing could be more unbelieved that reborn out of a dead body.
...
"So, two days already ". Zary easily calms down and start analysing the shared memory between then.
The first trace of memory his copy had was it in from of Zaru body looking at himself. Then it starts to access the former Zaru memory and Ryan. It rapidly starts processing its new-found memory. It then felt an ominous feeling and from the combination of his memory, it decides to get out the Zaru tower taking his robes and badge and hide for a while.
As for where it hides there were only three choices, one of then being the dining hall, the meditation hall and the library. And from this three the library was the most logical option, as it was inappropriate to pass an entire day there and not be seen eating, and the meditation hall was required to pay to use it but Zaru pocked was barren.
Seen till were Zaru was quite impressed by this replica instincts was it was clearly for him that the ominous feeling that his replica felt was quite accurate as Zaru himself had received his welcome party from the magus Lilissy.
But what caused him to be more impressed was his replica intelligence. All the time it had spent in the library it spending on reading and absorbing all book he lay his hand on. And all memory about that information has clearly imprinted in his memory as if the book was just in front of his eyes.
As for why the replica had this ability Zaru could only think it has to do with the magus experiment. And the fact that the magus experiment was about a dead blood ancestry or also know as a long-extinct magical creature where any remains of their body had prettified rendering completely impossible for them to appear again. In this case a "Puca" a magical creature akin to elfs and fays, with hight sense to magic, incredible shapeshifting ability, high intelligence and a lek of other ability but none of then been sort of replication.
And as to why Zaru had literary duplicate himself, he had a hunch it had to do with his dead-on earth. And why he thinks that, is that the company he was working at was studying cell replication while maintaining or eliminating certain features and the way he was killed.
That right Zaru cleary remembers by now the way he died, or why he was burned to death to be more precise. He was disposing of a bunch of failed residual experiment genetic material then accidentally broking the insulator, followed by red light and the room being lit on the blaze.
After lots of thought Zaru easily start to accept all these recent strings of events, although it was still mather of time for him to truly come about it.
"It night again". By the time he had processed all recent events, the sky had already fallen dark and tiredness had befallen him and like a baby, he fell dead again on his bed and after a while snoring like a pig.
...
The sky had barely started clearing, in an area full of towers, where their wall made of stone twined from crazily growing vines of rattan to a dead aurora of desolation where some have flicking light shining from their windows. but all of them looked like dwarf plugged into to the ground in comparison to the sky-piercing tower into the distance.
"Realy, seen is believing "Zaru walk casually on the stone patched while casting his eyes around. Although all this was already in his memory but seen it lively was the first time.
The road was desolate was his stead racket loud and creep was Zaru quicken his spet when he remembers the dangers of this place. Although around was considered safe by the neophytes. But Zaru didn't want to put that to test.
"I hoping there his something to eat at this time" Although it was early Zaru could not hold his stomach any more as his stomach had started roaring with an earsplitting pain from his slumber, so he was walking to the dining hall.

Zaru quickly arrived. The dining hall was notably extravagant and is located on the east side of dormitory Tower most know as neophyte towers. And everything here is free, and they too can make a dish that someone wants as long some money was given out.
"Come on Ryan. you better fill your stomach full" Zaru wasn't alone was his now named replica stood by his side covering his face with a hoodie. Although was dangerous for then to walk together, Zaru had seen no danger right now was at this time only five people was present a the dining hall and that was including then self.
"So good!" Zaru could help praise the food, as it was remarkable delicious than anything he could remember on Earth. While eating he cast his eyes around. From the people present he could see that two were a level 1 neophyte like him wearing a white robe with a black stripe and the other wearing a grey robe, a practitioner.
While looking Zaru remember how the classification work. As one start stepping into the footprint of a magus, they are classified into 3 levels. The first level is known as a colt or level 1 neophyte where they barely have any capability of casting a spell but with more high mental force than a normal human and their bits of knowledge. The second was simply know as level 2 neophyte and the level 3 neophyte is most know as a practitioner as they are half step to become a magus.
And as for Magus power classification Zaru scarcely have any knowledge of if not their tremendous knowledge and their vast power.
"Crap..." The moment Zaru was recalling what he knew about Magus, he remembers Lilissy voice when he had wake up. Zaru swiftly finish eating his food dinner, sending Ryan to the library to hid and start walking to Lilissy to tower.
By now the sky had already clear up and there was a more notable presence of neophyte passing, but they take a peek at Zaru. It wasn´t because of the fast pace Zaru had, but where he was going as his direction pointed to the Laboratory areas. On the sightseer's eyes were like seen a rat waking year and walking to a laboratory, but they aren't shocked, this was just an uncommon sight for then this early.
As Zaru rushed through several towers, two large buildings, and a garden. He then stopped in front of an area designed for experiment labs. It was located close to the centre of the Eternity Tower institute was it circulate three main towers at the centre.
The labs' area was also known as Magus tower, although they had their own residence most of Magus spend their life on their labs as it had everything they need, from a comfortable place to sleep to the high-end equipped kitchen.
Zaru stood in from of a Tower, yet he did not attempt to knock on the door. Therefore, he just waited outside patiently.
All the Magus tower (labs) have a thigh magic security under the owner's hand and that included too just 10-meter outside of it.
After a moment, there came a little rust noise as the door opens. Zaru waited till the door had complete open and walk is while gulping down.
The moment he got inside an intense light swelled his sights. Short his eyes adapt and he cast his sight on a group of floating light ball the packed the ceiling. The room was like a living room, where bookshelves filled the right conner and at left hang a big oil painted portrait.
Zaru stood quite as his sense seemed to see two Magus Lilissy, the portrait was so vivid that gave the impression of being alive combine with her body image stat right beneath it.
"Zaru right!" The Magus Lilissy put down a book and turn his eyes to Zaru. Then she lifts her hand in an extrinsic way at the same time a bag as if coming right through wall start floating to Zaru.
"There, the thing we agree to" She retreats her hand back to the book while putting her eyes back to the book.
Zaru look at the everything in marvel only coming backing to himself when the bag landed in his hand.
"Many thanks to your honour" Zaru saluted while taking a bow, he tried to his memory best in acting and sound.
"Talk!" Lilissy inquired not taking her eyes from her book and the fact that Zaru still heads his head down like a puppy asking for permission.
"I could not find my neophyte badge" Zaru muster a little force to talk.
"Are you sure?" Lilissy word sound calms a treating at same time warning Zaru to not play any trick.
"Gasp!". Suddenly a suffocating force involved Zaru rendering him stiff. Then the force tonne down and a badge flow in from of Zaru. Zaru swiftly grasp then bowing himself again and immediately retreat
"Uff" After Zaru had walked out of the Lilissy tower radius of influence he releases a little relaxed sigh. He then looks at the red raven's badge, this represents that he had the consent of its owner to used on his name. For example, Zaru could borrow a book at the library on Lilissy name or extort some neophyte. Zaru didn't dare to cross this idea through his mind as dead would be the least of his problems.
