Mystic Beast’s Journey

*Flash* 

And we're back. Now to get this damn thing off.

{Wait! First set up a barrier.}(Snow)

(Confused) Why? It's not like someone's dumb enough to attack me here.

{Still, just in case. You never know when that sword saint will appear, and you'll probably be out for a bit when our memories return.}(Snow)

*Sigh* You're such a worry wart. But if you insist, I'll set up an ice barrier. [Aether: Primordial Ice Fortress]

*Flash Crrrr*

*Lightheaded* Even with Nifl this spell drains me so much.

I then walked over to my bed and sat down.

Ugh, now I have to wait for my mana and aura to regenerate.

(1 hour and 25 minutes later)

"Finally, done! Time to break this stupid collar!"(Rina)

"Hooo, calm down and focus."(Rina)

I then sent my aether at the collar.

*Crack*

*Crack*

*Shatter*

The collar then shattered and then

"(Clenches sides of head) AAAAAHHH!!"(Rina)

A mind-splitting headache hit me, and I fainted.

(Snow Pov)

"*Sits up*(Holds side of head) Mmm, why does my head hurt so much?"(Snow)

Wait. Head? Wasn't Rina in control? Why am I suddenly using the body?

[Answer. Alter ego Snow is in control of user Rina's body as user is currently in a state of unconsciousness and the system requires consent from user to form 2 new alter egos and the use of 3 status points.]

Why do you need to do that?

[Answer. Forbidden skill [Wrath] has awoken and is currently battling holy skill [Patience] for dominance over the user, resulting in the user's soul being damaged. Through the use of 2 egos the system administrator wishes to stop the 2 skills before they cause irreversible damage to the user's soul.]

What!? Our soul is being damaged!? How long until it becomes irreversible!?

[Answer. 7 minutes 30 seconds. Do you consent to the creation of 2 new egos and the use of 3 status points to create new skills?]

What exactly happens when you take those 3 points?

[Answer. The user will lose 3 points of the 7 total status points they would gain upon leveling up forever.]

So basically, our growth is slowed. Do we lose any of our current status values?

[Negative. The loss of 3 status points only affects future growth.]

I think I'm going to need a minute to think this over.

(1 minute later)

*Sigh* Rina is going to be mad about this when she finds out but it's to save our lives.

Yes.

[Consent confirmed. Please name Alter Egos.]

(Panicked) Uh, uh um. Hail and Blizzard!

[Names confirmed. Sending information to administrator.]

No no, cancel! Those were awful names!

[Negative. Cannot cancel.]

Gaah, those were awful names!

Huh? (Glare) Someone's trying to break in. I knew the barrier would come in handy.

[Alert. Creation of new skill failed. Requesting the use of alter ego Snow for fusion of skill.]

Will I change?

[Negative. Personality of alter ego will not change. Alter ego Snow's personality was found compatible with holy skill [Patience].]

Then do it. I'm busy.

[Consent confirmed. Fusion successful. Commencing integration.]

*Nod Nod* Huh? Why am I s...o sle...epy.

*Bit's tongue* No! I ne..ed to sta...y a...wake!

*Flash* Hm? W..ho's th..at? *Sniff* Mast...er bu...t he ...l...eft.

"Sleep now, nya. Everything is fine, nya."(Blade)

I...t is ...mast...er. If ...it's hi...m we...'ll be f...in..e.

"tha...nks.*Snore*"(Snow)

Then I passed out feeling something inside of me change.

(Rina Pov)

""...!""

"...!"

"Mmm, whoever's yelling shut up.! My head hurts."(Rina)

"""Sorry!"""

"Mmm whatever just shut up."(Rina)

Wait. Who the fuck is in my room! *Shoots up*

What I saw left me speechless. Standing there was 3 almost identical copies of me. The only difference was each had different colored eyes.

One had scarlet red eyes1This color.. Another had green2This color. eyes. And the last one's left eye was scarlet red, and the right eye was green. And for some reason, the heterochromic one is holding the other 2 by their ear in her left and right hand respectively.

How I could tell? Well, the heterochromic one was looking over her shoulder while the others were just staring silently begging for help.

*Rubs eyes*

*Blink Blink*

Yep, not just a hallucination from just waking up. Then am I dreaming?

*Shick stab*

I then stabbed my leg and well I'm defiantly dreaming. System do you know what's going on?

[Answer. What you're seeing is your alter egos after using the newly acquired unique skill [Manifestation].]

Hold on when did I get that?

[Answer. User acquired the unique skill [Manifestation], along with the unique holy skill [Embodiment of Patience, Snow] and unique forbidden skill [Embodiment of Wrath, Hail] in exchange for 3 status points.]

Under who's consent!?

[Answer. User Snow's consent.]

Snow! What the hell!? Why did you give away 3 of my status points!?

...

Snow?

...

S-Snow? Are you there?

...

(Panicked) System where's Snow!?

[Answer. User Snow is right in front of you.]

What? But all I see is 3 clones of me.

[Answer. The clone with green eyes is user Snow using the [Manifestation] unique skill.]

"Snow?"(Rina)

"Yeah? What's up?"(Snow)

When I called out to Snow the clone with green eyes responded back.

So, I guess she is Snow.

"Uh, Snow who are they and why are you being held by your ears like you're being scolded?"(Rina)

"Well, older sister. When I woke up, I found these 2 fighting, so I grabbed them by their ears and*Pulls harder* (""Ow ow ow. Let go!"") *loosens pull* have been scolding them for all the noise they were making."(?)

"Ok then who are you?"(Rina)

"I'm Blizzard and this *Pulls harder*("Ow ow ow. Let go! You're going to rip them off!") *loosens pull* is my twin Hail. Well, I say twin, but we're all considered quadruplets in the system. It's just that my and Hail's egos were born at the same time."(Blizzard)

"First, those names are terrible. ("Gah") Second, I don't remember ever making new alter egos."(Rina)

"(Depressed) That would be my doing.*Ear Pull* Ow ow ow! Let go already dammit!"(Snow)

"No, I don't think I will."(Blizzard)

"*Sigh* Just let them go."(Rina)

"(Cheerful) Okay! *Let's go*"(Blizzard)

 When she let them go, Snow and Hail started to rub their ears.

""Why do listen to her but not us!""

"(Coldly) Because she didn't wake me up while I was sleeping."(Blizzard)

"So, your grumpy."(Hail)

"Yes."(Blizzard)

"Now explain what happened."(Rina)

"Ok."(Snow)

(One recap later)

"(Hold forehead) *Sigh* So basically you used my stat points to save our life by fusing 2 alter egos with [Wrath] and [Patience] but, Blizzard was incompatible, so you used yourself. And you ended up naming these 2 like that because you were put on the spot. Is that all?"(Rina)

"You forgot about the part where someone was trying to kill us then master appeared."(Snow)

"Right. But what happened after that? And when did that skill appear? And also, where's Nifl?"(Rina)

"I don't know. I passed out when master appeared due to the skill integration. When I woke up the system asked if I wanted to use the skill [Manifestation] and I said yes.

It took a fourth of your stats and made a body and status for me. Then I found a letter left by master then, Hail came out and we started arguing. And you know the rest."(Snow)

" You what!? [Status]"
