Nano, activate shadow clone projector.
< Affirmative. >

< Shadow clone projector activating.. >
< Shadow clone projector activated. >
After it activated, I was sent into this space in my mind, and there standing at a moderate distance from me was a humanoid figure.
Then a panel popped up in front of me.
< Difficulty level : Novice. >
Weapon : Sword.
Technique : Sword Foundation
Sword Stage : None
< Magic Stage : None. >
< The stats of the clone can be adjusted. >
Holy crap, this is insane! I didn't know the thing was capable of this?!
Since I'm here I might as well test out how this thing works.
Nano, activate the clone.
< Order Received. >
Instantaneously, a sword appeared in my hand. Then I watched as the eyes of the clone start glowing red.
It lunged forward and went for a wide swing for my torso.
CRAP!
I managed to barely block it with my sword, stumbling back, trying to resume my stance.
HUUP!
I took a wide step, rotating my core muscle and swinging my sword to the left.
This went on for at most 3mins before I was exhausted. The fight was a barrage of attacks, nonstop as if I and the clone were trying to kill and gut out each other.
With nothing happening and myself getting tired from exhaustion, I slipped and the clone managed to slash through my torso. Severing me in half.
" KUGHH!! " I screamed out.
The next thing that happened was that I somehow was transferred back to a full undamaged body as if nothing has happened. The clone was still there but the body it slashed was gone.
After standing there in a daze, the fact that I got slashed and was severed in half seeped into me.
I snapped back into the real world and ran out of the bathtub to get a container
" BLURGHHHH!.. BURHGH!.. "
Vomit came out of me like never before.
Haha.. that thing ain't a joke.. It felt so real..
The pain and sensation of that split second still remained in my mind.
< Would the host like to put on pain suppression in the next session? >
Fuck you Nano. You could've told me that beforehand.
I felt like shit, but the discovery was something that will be really beneficial for me in the long run.
Say.. Nano is there an option where I can release the limiter of my human body in the.. hmm.. since it's in my mind.. let's call it the spirit realm.
Is there a way for me to not get tired when I spar in the spirit realm?
< Yes, host. It is possible. >
Right.. cool.
I poured the vomit out of the container and cleaned it like any human being and went back in the bath for a final wash.
Afterward, I got out and called in Selena to dress me up.
" Thank you for your hard work, Selena. " I said with a smile on my face.
" It's nothing young master, it is my duty to take care of you. " said Selena with a stone face.
Same as always..-
I got out of the bathing chamber and went back into my sleeping quarters.
Phew... finally some peace. I guess it's time to try to get fully unlock all of my mana veins..
I sat on the floor and went into mana-absorbing meditation.
[ 43 minutes later.. ]
- Sigh - I wish I had a mana absorption technique manual. The ordinary way to do it is just way too slow even with Nano's help.
