Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

"Yes!"

Clearly feeling the gradually firming will, Hestia smiled silently.

However, the smile was quickly replaced by surprise.

"God's Grace" is engraved.

There was a holy fire pattern engraved on Su Mo's back, along with several lines of pitch-black text.

Hestia followed the text, gently stroking his back until she reached the last line, her thoughts becoming a little confused.

Like a page in an ancient book with sacred text, this is a "book" called [Ability Value].

At the same time, it is also a history book for those who have received the favor. The experience points accumulated by the dependents in their lives will eventually be displayed through the [ability points]. What they have seen, heard, and done will be evaluated by the gods and gradually recorded on their backs.

Su Mo's journey and his story will be written by Hestia.

And what did she write at the end?

Ainsel

·Duplicate Magic

The maximum number of clones is 'two', and the ability value is divided into two after the clone.

There is no distinction between primary and secondary avatars, and each has independent thinking and personality.

·not available

·? ? ?】

A super rookie with rare magic?

No! This was not what surprised and confused Hestia. Although she could not even fully describe this magic, she had already clearly perceived a fact - that the child sitting here was actually only 'half'.

Before he received the 'favor', he had already split himself into two.

Defeat yourself... At this moment Hestia finally understood the meaning of these four words.

"You have a magic..."

Hestia explained the effects of the magic.

The magic of clones...After listening to Hestia's narration, Su Mo's eyes suddenly showed some enlightenment.

This magic finally made him understand why his physical fitness suddenly declined and why another self was born. At the same time, he thought of more. Another self had inevitably begun to become a monster. Was this magic the product of preventing himself from becoming a monster completely?

If it were him, when he could no longer stop himself from turning into a monster, would he choose to completely separate humans and monsters and split himself in two?

The answer is yes.

But how did he do it?

Rely on the system——?

As his thoughts continued to wander, Su Mo gradually realized that there was a possibility that part of his memory was missing.

The cause and effect gradually became coherent, and Su Mo unconsciously clenched his palms.

Take back what you lost?

Become one with the 'self' that has become a monster?

Su Mo straightened his back, bloodthirsty murderous intent slowly emerging in his eyes.

"I want to kill him!"

Chapter 4 Dungeon

Hestia looked back every few steps and left the guild headquarters alone.

To register as an adventurer, Su Mo also needs to take necessary courses here. In order to ensure that new adventurers do not sacrifice in vain, the guild has its own plan. Understanding the dangers of the dungeon, the characteristics of the monsters, the various task processes and the obvious adventure rules and regulations, etc., is a link that every newcomer needs to go through.

But whenever she thought of that momentary murderous intent, Hestia felt a little uneasy.

What kind of thing would make a person want to kill another self?

"Am I not trustworthy?"

Hestia was a little disappointed. She wanted to know the reason and wanted to help the child, but in the end she was comforted by the other party instead.

"No! I must let him know that I am a god who is trustworthy and can be relied upon."

Hestia's confidence soared after she gained her first follower not long after being driven out... She didn't need too many, just one or two more followers today and solve the problem of residence for the follower at the same time.

Take an exciting step, and then...

Until the sun set, Hestia had not recruited any new followers.

Being rejected and even ignored again and again made Hestia feel frustrated.

"The underworld is so cruel!!!"

In the silhouette at dusk, the little goddess expressed such emotion.

To gain faith...or rather, to gain trust is not an easy thing.

I have to work harder tomorrow...

"…What? The kid went to the dungeon? Didn't you say it would take at least a day to finish the course?"

Facing Hestia's question, Aegina Zul explained with embarrassment, "Because he can't read, I thought it would take at least a day. But he is not illiterate, he just doesn't know the common characters. His knowledge base is probably richer than most adventurers, and his learning efficiency is also very high. He quickly memorized the relevant information of the first five floors."

Isn't this obvious? How could a child with such upbringing be illiterate... Hestia bit her lip, "When did he go to the dungeon?"

"It's been almost an hour."

"Where's the weapons? Where's the equipment? If he doesn't have these, just let him go to the dungeon."

Aegina Zul hurriedly searched on the table and quickly picked up a document and handed it to Hestia, "The weapons and equipment have been equipped. This is his loan contract."

Hestia took the contract and looked at it. For the first time, she felt that the guild's services were too comprehensive.

……——……

A one-handed sword, a chest guard, an arm guard, a set of suitable clothing and a package, and two pieces of dry bread, totaling 15700 faris.

Calculated based on the price of goods, excluding interest, it is about 4000 RMB.

It was a bit dark, but Su Mo still had to thank this loan service. Without this service, it would probably take him a long time to get this set of novice equipment. And what he lacked most now was time, because he could kill other monsters at will in the nearly 30th floor of the dungeon, and his strength was obviously far behind him.

Feeling his own strong heartbeat, Su Mo drew out his one-handed sword and slowly stepped into the dungeon.

The feeling of physical weakness has disappeared, replaced by a body that feels like I have returned to the energetic twenty-year-old self.

Walking along the main road, Su Mo soon saw a ground spirit holding a rough stone axe on a fork in the road.

Earth spirits. It is said that the goblins on the ground are their descendants. They are not dangerous alone, but they will ambush and call their companions. They often appear in groups of five or six. Their usual way of attack is to restrain by arms, bite and claw. A few of them will use crude weapons... The information about the earth spirits flashed through Su Mo's mind, and he picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and threw it towards the earth spirit in the distance.

Hearing the noise, the advancing earth spirit quickly turned around. The moment it saw Su Mo, a human, it shouted and rushed forward.

Su Mo quickly scanned the area around the fork in the road. When the earth spirit had already rushed to a few meters in front of him, he still did not find any trace of other earth spirits. He immediately advanced instead of retreating.

The advantage of earth spirits is that they are flexible, not very strong, and their skin and armor are also quite fragile...

"boom--"

The rough little stone axe collided head-on with the sword blade, and the force flowed along the sword to hit Su Mo's palm, causing some pain, but that was all.

It was not him who retreated in the head-on collision, but the earth spirit.

Although he had never really fought, Su Mo still knew how to do it by rote. After confirming that he had the upper hand in strength, Su Mo did not hesitate at all. After blocking head-on, he took the opportunity to thrust hard.

The tip of the sword pierced the throat, but it was a little crooked and only cut the right side of the earth spirit's throat.

"Die to me——"

With a twist of the waist, the force that was difficult to retract suddenly changed from stabbing to slashing. The force of the slashing was not actually very strong, but combined with the sharpness of the weapon, it was enough to decide the outcome.

With nearly half of its throat cut open, the earth spirit rolled on the ground for a few times and soon stopped moving.

As expected, the saying that as long as one receives God's grace, one will have the power to defeat even the lowest level monsters is not false.

Adjusting his rapid breathing, the battle lasted only a few seconds, but the dry throat and sweat on his forehead made Su Mo feel like he had done a 100-meter sprint.

After spending nearly half a minute to adjust his breathing, Su Mo slowly approached the Earth Spirit, using the length of the one-handed sword to keep a safe distance. After the tip of the sword pierced the Earth Spirit's back to finish off the enemy, he was relieved. But this mentality only lasted for a while, and Su Mo immediately hardened his heart and ignored the broken flesh and blood and the scattered blood foam, and dug out a small fragment emitting a faint blue-purple glow from the Earth Spirit's heart.

"Magic Stone"

The magic crystal on the monster.

Orario has many magic stone products, which can be used for everything from ignition devices and magic stone lamps to war weapons. Compared with gold coins and faris, magic stones are undoubtedly a more valuable hard currency.

However, this magic stone obtained from the earth spirit is, to be more precise, just a magic stone fragment and is not very valuable.

But just this piece of magic stone fragment made Su Mo stunned.

He saw a glimmer of light in his left eye.

His left eye, which had been completely unable to see, suddenly felt a comfortable cool sensation and saw a faint light. At the same time, the fragments of the magic stone in his hand also shrank rapidly, and within two breaths, only a few ashes were left.

The fragments of the magic stone disappeared, and the faint light and comfortable cool feeling that the left eye could see also disappeared like an illusion.

Swallowing magic stone?

No! This is not the feeling of actually swallowing the magic stone.

Raising his hand to brush across his left eye, Su Mo's face gradually revealed an excitement that he could not conceal - perhaps, he had not completely lost his cheat.

Su Mo could only look forward to what kind of changes would happen to his left eye as it continued to absorb the energy of the magic stone. However, if part of the system was still with him, then his system must be incomplete. The dungeon might have given him various privileges as a monster, but without a complete system, he was still some distance away from being a "hack".

The opponent's 'plug-in' is incomplete, but there is hope for his left eye and system to be repaired. For Su Mo, this is undoubtedly a surprise among surprises.

"call……"

But what does the saying go, too much joy leads to sorrow.

A strong wind blew from behind, and even though Su Mo rolled forward almost subconsciously, a wooden stick still hit him hard on the back.

The pain swept through his body and mind. At the critical moment of life and death, a burning sensation suddenly rose from the place on his back where the sacred words were engraved. Su Mo tightly grasped the one-handed sword, turned around and slashed with the sword while rolling.

In an instant, the sword blade collided head-on with the falling wooden stick. The falling stick was blocked, but the stick also stuck the sword blade.

"what--!!"

There was no point in thinking at this moment. Su Mo picked up the stone axe on the ground and struck the earth spirit in the waist with all his strength.

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, a dull blow knocked the earth spirit directly to the ground.

The burning sensation subsided, Su Mo threw away the stone axe and quickly stood up.

Seeing the stick still stuck on the sword, he felt relieved. If it was a sword, or maybe a knife, he would have been unable to fight even if he hadn't died yet. This was only the first level, and he was facing the lowest level monster that almost every adventurer who received the grace of God could deal with, and it almost killed him.

Lack of vigilance is a big taboo... Keeping this lesson in mind, Su Mo took out the one-handed sword from the wooden stick and stabbed it straight into the heart of the earth spirit that was still trying to crawl up from the ground.

Chapter 5: Crazy Prologue

Block, then strike back, piercing the throat of the earth spirit.

Although his back was aching slightly, Su Mo did not give up and continued hunting.

He needed 'experience points', 'magic stones', and enough money to support himself and Hestia.

After cutting open the Earth Spirit's chest and taking out the magic stone, Su Mo had become more and more skilled after repeating this action more than a dozen times. At the same time, after several attempts, he had also determined that the magic stone would not disappear as long as it was not touched by the skin. Only when the skin was in close contact with the magic stone would the left eye begin to absorb the energy in the magic stone.

After the magic stone was removed, the earth spirit's body changed rapidly. First, it lost its pigment rapidly, then its head was shattered, and finally its whole body turned into dust and disappeared without a trace. Su Mo also became accustomed to this from the initial novelty.

The monsters on the first floor were not densely packed, but there were obviously not many newcomers either. After walking for a while, Su Mo saw many adventurers coming and going, but few stayed on the first floor. This was probably related to the time, after all, it would soon be time to get off work.

So in general, there is no shortage of monsters on the first floor. What really limits Su Mo is the efficiency of his conquests.

The value of the magic stone fragments was not high. Su Mo roughly calculated it while walking. He needed to earn at least 1200 faris a day to support his daily expenses, including food, clothing, accommodation, equipment maintenance, and loan repayments, before paying off the loan.

This amount of magic stone fragments is far from enough.

Hearing the footsteps, Su Mo quickly dodged and hid in the corner.

One, two, three, four... four.

It was too inefficient to just look for lone goblins, and running away when encountering a group of goblins would only waste more time. Facing two goblins at the same time was already a successful challenge, but if there were four... a sneak attack, a preemptive strike, and directly smashing the magic stone to kill one of them, it would be no different from facing three goblins at the same time.

An adventurer cannot take risks. If he really doesn't take any risks at all, how can he catch up with 'him'?

Holding his breath and concentrating, Su Mo suddenly thrust out with his sword the moment the monster approached.
