After careful deliberation and scrutinization and following a complex elimination process using the maximum of his brain capacity, Zavier finally decided to take up the Magus system and the Mesmer systems first.

[Are you sure that you want to activate the Magus System?]

"Yes"

Following his response was a series of dings* that he was unable to keep up with.

[The Magus system has been successfully activated.]

[User is now able to use some basic magic related skills. The percentage of success will increase with more proficiency. Current proficiency of all skills is 0.01%.]

[User has learnt Magic Sense.]

[User is now able to feel the existence of magic around him to some extent. Proficiency can be raised by coming into contact with magic more frequently and by using magic related skills more often. Current proficiency = 0.01%]

[User has learnt Float]

[User is now able to make small objects float in the air with magic for a short period. The duration of Float can be increased by increasing the skill proficiency. Current proficiency of the skill = 0.01%]

Zavier was unable to keep up with all the messages at once and decided that he would look into it later. For now, he decided to activate the Mesmer system.

At a single thought from him, the Multi-system acted. In fact, there had been no need for him to talk out loud with the system from the beginning. The system had been integrated into his brain and had the ability to understand his thoughts.

[Are you sure you want to activate the Mesmer System?]

"Yes, I am sure."

Zavier was familiar with the procedure now. He waited for the familiar ding* sounds and he wasn't disappointed.

[The Mesmer System has been successfully activated.]

[User is now able to use some basic Mesmer related skills. The percentage of success will increase with more proficiency. Current proficiency of all skills is 0.01%.]

[User has successfully learnt basic Hypnosis.]

[User can now hypnotize low level targets for short duration. The stronger the target will be the lesser will be the effective duration of Hypnosis. The ability to hypnotize stronger targets will be directly related to the increase in skill proficiency. Current proficiency of the skill is 0.01%]

Now that he had successfully activated the two systems that he had chosen, he had to go through with the next step which was to make a clone so that he could realize the potential of the two systems to the maximum. For that purpose, he had to verify the cloning skill.

"System, I want to make a clone of myself."

[User should understand that the clone that will be produced will not be illusory, but a real entity copied with the user as the basis. The clone will be just like a normal person, and it will be impossible for others to distinguish between the user and the clone based on appearance and constitution alone. Are you sure that you want to make a clone of yourself?]

Zavier knew what the system was warning him about. This had already been explained to him by the cosmic consciousness. Therefore, he wasn't surprised at all.

"Yes, I am sure."

[Cloning of the user was successfully completed.]

As soon as the system confirmed the success of the cloning, a person who looked exactly the same as Zavier appeared in front of him out of thin air. As the system had suggested earlier, the newly produced clone was clearly made out of flesh and blood. It was so life-like that Zavier had the illusion that he was looking at himself in the mirror and not at his clone.

It was not only the appearance of the clone that made him feel weird about the whole fiasco. The thoughts that appeared in his mind were clearly not his own and yet they had appeared in his own mind.

Zavier finally figured out that the newly emerged thoughts were not his own at all but of the newly born clone. He was trying to understand the world that he had just been thrown into.

The clone was just as confused as the original. Zavier found that his mind was connected to his clone and there was no need for any communication between the two to figure out what the other was thinking. His brows slightly furrowed thinking that he would have to carry the burdens of all the clones at the same time if this happened.

That would really take the meaning out of the cloning system.

Before he could start scratching his head in confusion the system produced another ding*. The Multi-system had come to his rescue finally.

[User should understand that the thoughts of the user and the clones are linked because all of you share the same consciousness. Even the five senses of the clones can be linked with one another.]

With the explanation of the system, Zavier knew why he was feeling so weird. He was not only feeling what he himself was able to feel but was also feeling what the clone was feeling at the same time. This had almost caused a sensory overload in his brain.

It was getting hard for him to distinguish his feelings from those of the clone.

He bore with it and was trying to gradually get used to the feeling of his consciousness being divided into two when suddenly a question popped into his mind. Zavier was still not sure who came up with the question, the original or the clone.

"System, what would happen to the clone if I were to die. Will it die along with me or will it be able to sustain itself independently since it is dependent on my consciousness for its working?"

As if the system was expecting the question, the answer came with the speed of lightning and thunder.

[User can rest assured that the clone will not die even if the original dies even if they share the same senses and consciousness, and vice versa is also true.]

"What will happen then?"
