Chapter 19: Biba and Boba

# Somewhere by the ocean #- Are you sure you're my other person?"# Yeah, remember the girl you liked in high school #- Uh-huh."What was her name?- ... I can't remember, but it starts with a B."Victoria.- Uh, yeah, you got it.# In an unknown space #- What a cri~ing.- I agree, but it will soon reach its climax point, becoming an inferior god.- It will be interesting to see his battle against himself, don't you agree, Abross?- I think so.- By the way, what's that little panda on your shoulder, Abross?- It's my new surname, I named him Nail...# Back to the main character #"# Didn't guess, but answered correctly as we shared our memories.- Oh, conversations like this are starting to make my head spin." I don't feel anything.- That's cool. All right, time to level up.I jumped into the raging abyss, once again. Underwater, I was immediately greeted by several huge octopuses, which was a bit surprising since I usually killed them at a more solid depth.* Boom * * Boom * * Boom * * Boom *# It's been hours #I lay on the hot sand, slowly sunbathing and resting."# How long is there left?- Let me check.[ 1 experience point to the next level ]" Hmm, interesting.- Yeah, I'm a little tired for the first time in a long time, mentally. All those slimy tentacles with huge suction cups, huge gills, feh, gross." Same thing, actually, we could kill all the strong people. And to keep you from going cuckoo, I'd switch places with you at the moment of the kill, and that'd be it.- I don't think that's necessary."Suit yourself, but it'd be a lot faster.- All that's left to do is make one kill and get some of that pebble."You make it sound so easy...- Doesn't it?" Well, all the hardships that have come your way are the creations of that creature.... Hmm, I think I've said that before, but okay. Now, that thing's bound to pull another stunt, so keep a lookout and I'll be there to back you up if you need me.- ... All right, I'm gonna do a big upgrade.I raised my hand up as a ball slowly began to form on it, increasing in size with each passing second.Ten seconds later, it was bigger than a soccer ball, capable of probably destroying all surrounding creatures within a radius of several kilometers.- I've never tried to bang one of these."Better not, the blast would be too powerful.- You offered to kill people less than a minute ago, and now you're going to backpedal while I'm leveling up?"Do as you see fit.My hand trembled as my mind filled with doubt as to whether it was worth it.* Sigh *- Okay, I guess you're right. I don't want to draw attention to myself now, but I need to be more stealthy, because if that thing throws up a new obstacle...." She's gonna do it anyway.- Okay." Stop!As I was about to throw a small ball, a very loud scream sounded in my head.- What?" I completely forgot that you're simply going to go to level one. Fuck! Fuck! Okay, nobody! You hear me, don't kill anybody!- What?" *Sigh* You want to go home, don't you?- Uh-huh." Okay, I guess I need to explain my plan to you in detail. As I told you earlier, we shared memories and.... The soul. The instruction that we originally had remains with you, but with the help of an artificial instruction, or rather the Blessing of Oomplas will serve as a conduit between our souls so that I can take your instruction and gain a body.- Uh, well, I... I don't know what to say. What makes you think the Blessing can serve as a conduit, and also, what does it mean to gain a body?" Well, at the moment the Blessing is conferred, you'll have to hit yourself with the Force to reestablish the connection between us. After that, I'll take the instructions.- Where's all this knowledge and confidence that you'll be able to pick up the manual? And you still haven't answered about the body." Jesus, you're fucked up ... I don't mean to speak prematurely, but I'm you from the future.- What..."Yes, and I've been defeated, leaving me with only the soul that god sent me here.- Holy fuck, you just told the plot of a second-rate ranube." I know, but it's true, and if this works out, I can send you home.- There's no trust in that." * Sigh* Man, I'm tired of everything myself, but if you do otherwise, you'll suffer the same fate as me. And about getting a body, I can leave yours and inhabit any person, but preferably a dead one to take complete control. Like Alejandro.For the first time in a long time, I seriously considered my next move.- Okay, I'll trust you, again."I'm grateful.- Now we need to get some rest.# In the protagonist's newly purchased home #I was lying on a huge bed, remembering everything I'd been through. Life in my home world, a bit of a blur, surviving in the mountains, more of a blur, and getting here.- By the way, that dog was that thing's henchman? He almost broke every bone in my body."Uh-huh.- I wish I could meet him and get revenge." Revenge never leads to anything good.- Well, it depends on the situation."Maybe.- I keep thinking that I've really lost my mind and I'm talking to a schizophrenic." ...- Okay. By the way, what's-his-name. Alejandro, are we in time for those events?" On the contrary, we are, but, you've changed the events a bit, so... I don't know, I think we should move out tomorrow, at least I think so.- I think so."Unfortunately, yes.- All right, well, I'm going to bed then." Good night.I finally closed my eyes, slowly falling into the long-awaited realm of Morpheus.# It's been a week #- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.A mighty yawn rolled through the room." Aoaoaoaoa.The same sound echoed in my head, and then I glanced at the calendar, which showed that we'd fucked up the whole week.- I think we overslept... Fuck." That's not the word. All right, we gotta hurry.- Okay.I jumped out of bed and quickly put on black pants bought at the local market, a black t-shirt bought at the market, and black shoes that looked like sneakers bought, oddly enough, at the market, taking swords beforehand." Bon voyage.After which I ran.# In the city #After a couple of seconds I was already outside the city and I stopped, crouched down, and then I jumped.# Boom #Staring ahead, I looked around carefully, trying to find the damn nest. Finally finding it, I tossed a rock that was about half a meter in circumference and pushed off of it with great force.* ♪ Boom ♪- Meanwhile, in the nest--- A freakin' dragon!A thirty-five year old man with fair skin and short dark blue hair jumped aside, dodging the fiery breath that came from the red dragon's mouth.Even at such a moment, the man's eyes were squinted to almost closed. His outfit wasn't anything super amazing, it was a dark blue suit, light blue t-shirt and black shoes."I guess I'll have to use artificial guidance," thought the man whose name was Alejandro.Just as he was about to stick it in his neck, a tanned, almost African-American-looking man appeared through the ground as if drilling through it.- The events of the story are in the person of Mr. Alejandro." Are you sure we're going to get through all these obstacles?- Easy." All right, well, just remember, don't kill anyone.* Boom *Like a torpedo, I flew through the walls of metal, dodging the monsters that were about to be smeared. Finally finding that Asian guy, I snatched the thing up, still at breakneck speed.As I looked at the artificial manual in my hands, I noticed that I had accidentally ripped Alejandro's arm off." ... Well, at least I didn't kill him, that's good.
