Omni-Mastery

[Oh, you are already done.]

Long yawned as he emerged from the ring, he really seemed quite useless sometimes, but he was still needed for certain times, such as this task….

"You said you have a way for me to cover for my disappearance, it's already time for you to cough it out."

My next step of the plan was to leave this place unnoticed which was quite an easy task, however, the real problem would be what would happen after I left, I mainly planned to use me being an injured in recovery for an alibi when the time comes, so I had to actually be here after leaving, which seemed quite inconvicible…...

[hehe, it's true that I can help you, but it won't be for free.]

Long assumed another personality once again, it was quite weird seeing this over and over but I was already starting to get used to it.

"Huh? And what's the supposed price?!"

While a part of my plan relied on his help, since leaving would arouse greater suspicion than the ones I managed to suppress, but this wasn't the only plan I had in any case, so if it turned out to be something outrageous or just Long tricking me from before, it wouldn't be anything but a small hindrance.

[It's not really something I can control, it's like some sort of a 'fee' you have to pay to activate 1 of my abilities which is obviously the key to solving this step of your plan. Here, take a look.]

A screen appeared before me, showing a very strange status which seemed to be Long's...

[You just have to give me 1 stat point of yours, and then my illusion ability will be unlocked, most important of all the ability itself would be unlocked from now on and can be used regularly!]

I hesitated a bit, after all 1 stat point was the equivalent of 10 normal points, this was an amount that I used more than a week of time to acquire before, at the start of the game….. But, if it can actually be my gateway to gaining more it may not be such a bad trade….

"How strong is this ability though?"

[I see you are doubting a bit, but it's okay, I will tell you. While my illusion ability isn't omnipotent, it's at least capable of having me appear as you or even camouflaging me to vanish, it's only capable of affecting people with less than 11 Wisdom if you only add one point to it though, it's your choice to add more if you want to increase that limit, hehe.]

Thump!

Having Long act as me would normally be quite hard, however, with my current status as an injured, hardly anyone would check on me, so as long as my presence was confirmed my plan would go smoothly!

I decided to just add that 1 for now and consider it a future investment….

[ Illusion: 1.1

Unassigned stat points: 1.43 ]

[Haha! Thanks for the meal! It's showtime!]

In just a moment's notice, I found another me sitting in front of me as if I was looking into a mirror!

[So, what do you think? It was worth it, wasn't it?]

It certainly looked amazing, at this point as long as Long doesn't get playful and just act as my dummy for the next two weeks then all the obstacles would be cleared!
