Alex suddenly woke up. He was touching his entire neck and throat. Nothing happened.
"Ah, it looks like a bad dream."
However, then he noticed, it was the whiteroom. He also saw that Pixie was flying and a doppelganger of himself was standing there.
"No, it wasn't a dream, desu. It's just you respawn."
Helena said to him.
"What? Respawn?"
"Yes, this is the advantage who possess the whiteroom. They will respawn whenever they die. However, there are few side effects. But it will appear when you die outside of the whiteroom."
Helena explained to him.
"What? Doesn't that mean? I am basically...."
"Yes, yes, you are immortal desu."
Helena answered before Alex could finish.
"But what are the side effect you told me about?"
Alex asked her.
"Hmm... The last time I died was 50 thousand years ago. I don't remember all, but few side effects like you can't see for a few days, you can walk for a few days, you can channel mana for a few days, and more. I have particularly gone through this kind of experience most. This is vital when you are needed by your ally or subject. Well, let's leave it for later. Now, all you need is train and bow to me, desu."
Alex was showing awe ignoring her last sentence. The hack with this system. More he is growing the new ability was presented in front of him. And those weren't any normal abilities but anyone on this continent will give their entire life for those what he getting like candy.
"So, what good will happen if I trained with myself?"
Alex asked her.
"A Wiseman once said that, know thyself before know your enemy."
She said to him. Later she also added,
"And you don't have any basics in the first place. So, you need to develop that first."
Alex nodded to that. After all, before this, he was nothing but an ordinary village boy.
"I see. That's a helps then."
He took out his gluttony and sprinted toward his doppelganger. The result was the same.
He again respawned.
"The heck, are you sure he is at the same level as me?"
Alex asked Helena.
"Yes desu, however, he should be considered as a peak in your level. This means if you can master your body and mental ability you will be this strong. Let me tell you, you are not using 20℅ of your total capability. Not only that you don't have any control over your technique. You may kill your friends while protecting them from villains. And if you ever spar with no killing intent can you fight them without a killing move?"
Now that he thinks about it. His every attack was according to the system that provide to him. What if he doesn't want to kill or harm someone? Can he hold back?
So, he found logic in her words.
"Sigh! Let's get started then, my little master?"
Alex said.
"What did you say, desu?"
She literally stretches her ear to listen again.
"I said, I will have a lesson from you."
Alex said clearly.
"No, no, desu. I want to hear what you said after that desu."
She said.
"My little master?"
Alex asked.
"Yes, yes, desu. I am satisfied. But don't add little desu. Just master desu, just master. And I will let slide your bowing part for now. We can do this ritual later, desu."
She said while puffing her non-existent breast. Alex looked away from her and looked at the doppelganger.
This time he step forward to slash at him with Gluttony x Halberd form. However, regardless the result was the same. He died.
When he respawns again, he tried to jump at the doppelganger again. However,
"Stoppu, desu."
She stopped him to fight him again. Doppelganger undone.
[New ability unlocked. You can call and dissolve doppelganger in the whiteroom.]
A new ethereal icon appeared under the whiteroom option.
"What now?"
Alex asked her.
"You need to train your move before facing him, desu."
She took a wooden stick out of nowhere and gave it to him.
"Take that sword and start to slash with it."
She said.
"What slash? Why?"
Alex asked.
"Let me show you, desu."
When she said that, a tree appeared.
"When I will touch it, a tree will fall. Try to slash it with that wooden sword of yours, desu."
When she touched the tree a leaf started to Alex slashed on it as she said. The leaf was smashed by his sword. Doing that he looked into her eyes.
"Look at that leaf, does it looks like it was cut smoothly, desu?"
Alex looked at the lead it wasn't cut smoothly but it was bruised badly.
"It's impossible to cut it smoothly. It's a wooden sword, not a sharp blade."
Alex said as if her words were unreasonable.
"Aha, Alex Kun let me show you, desu."
The doppelganger of Alex appeared again. This time with a wooden sword like him. She taps the tree, a leaf was falling from the tree.
The doppelganger steps in front of the leaf and slashes it.
By surprising Alex, he split the leaf into two parts smoothly.
"Did you see, desu?"
