"What will happen then?"
[In case of the death of the clone, the original will not be affected, and the experiences of the clone will be retained by the consciousness of the original. In the case that the original body gets destroyed, the consciousness will be transferred to an existing clone that will then act as the original body. In this way as long as there is at least one clone of the user alive, the user will not die.]
Zavier was a bit taken aback at the blessings that the cosmic consciousness had given him. Not only had he been given an almost inexhaustible treasure trove in the form of the Multi-system, but he had also been given the blessing of immortality. He was practically immortal since it wasn't easy if someone wanted to get rid of him. Even a single clone was enough for him to return from the dead.
He had a feeling at that time that he would definitely keep thanking the cosmic consciousness for a long time to come based on the many surprises that he was getting ever since the Multi-system had been activated.
Zavier couldn't help but think what would happen if he made a hundred clones of himself at the same time and scattered them around so that no one would be able to find them. His life would be completely safe in such a scenario. The thought had just popped into his head when he was interrupted by the system violently.
[User is advised to not go through with excessive cloning of himself.]
Zavier rolled his eyes violently at the urgent action of the system. Even Zavier knew that it was impossible for him to do such a thing at the moment. He was having difficulty coping with just a single clone, he wasn't mad enough to make it a hundred times worse by creating more of them.
Zavier already knew his limits, but he just wanted to know the consequences of overburdening himself just in case of emergency IF he ever had to do such a thing for self-preservation.
"Just for the sake of informational purposes, what would happen if I went ahead with it?"
[The marginal brain capacity would not be able to handle the excessive sensory load and the brain of the original would explode in exactly 9.327 seconds. The same would happen to the clone that takes over as the new original, but the time of sustenance will increase every time the number of clones decreases. This will continue until the number of clones returns back to a number that your brain capacity is able to handle.]
Zavier unconsciously gulped. He understood at least one thing that even if he did survive in the end, he would still have to feel the pain of his brain exploding a hundred times if he went through with it.
Just the thought of it was enough to deter him from taking any such action in the future.
[Does the user want to create more clones of himself?]
Zavier felt like beating the system with a hammer. It felt to him that the system was deliberately mocking him for his shallow knowledge.
Since it had the ability to read his thoughts then it should have already known what he wanted but it had still asked him as if daring him to say yes.
"No, not at the moment."
Anger aside, Zavier still made it clear to the cynical system what he wanted even though he felt that this was an open insult to him.
This insult further forged his mind as to what was the next direction that he must follow in the future. He had already set a new goal for himself following the creation of the clone.
He was adamant on increasing his mental strength which was extremely important both for controlling a bunch of his clones and for the activation of more systems.
Since he didn't know anything about the ways to enhance mental strength, Zavier had to take the help of the system.
"System, how do I increase my mental strength? Is there a way?"
[User can increase his mental strength by meditation. It is the only way that is feasible for the user given the user's meagre strength.]
"Are there other ways of doing it?"
[Yes there are. But at the moment you can not practice those methods due to various reasons.]
Zavier only nodded in response as if he had expected the answer.
Before he could instruct the clone regarding the details of its mission, it had already started to move towards the closet to start meditation.
Zavier had once again forgotten that they shared the same consciousness. What he had been thinking, the clone had known it all along.
The clone had already understood what the original intended and therefore sat cross legged in the closet to start meditation in order to achieve their next goal which was the enhancement of mental strength.
Zavier could not help but feel a headache because of the shared senses. He could feel himself doing two things at once. He was both meditating while sitting cross-legged and standing at the same time. It was too difficult to come to terms with the feeling.
It was quite a novelty experience but also a sensory headache at the same time.
He knew that he had to get used to the feeling soon or his plans of making more clones would soon reach a hiatus. He was planning on asking the system about how to get used to the shared consciousness with the clones.
Zavier thought that there must be a set of skills or some practice method or drills that will allow you to do that. He remembered that there were people in his previous world who had trained their minds to do various things at the same time.
For example there was this one guy who could write simultaneously with both hands, or could draw totally different images with both hands at the same time.
He thought there must be a set of training drills to make him reach such a standard at the very least but the answer of the system left him dumbfounded to say the least.
[User can switch off the shared mode if he feels uncomfortable. User can rest at ease that the clone will continue to do what it has been instructed until any further instruction has been passed on to it and it also has the ability to act independently in the event of a life-threatening situation]
