《I Can Copy Abilities Perfectly》 Age Of Dreadbeasts Riverstone Base City Government Hospital, Ward 369 ¡°I¡¯ve crossed over?¡± Simon had excited expression on his face. He was originally an ordinary office worker back on Earth and had been slogging hard for three meal a day only to die from overworking. However, as soon as he woke up, he was bombarded with memories of this new world. Which made him realize that he had crossed over into this world and was reborn as teenager with the same first name. ¡°Simon, Simon Reid¡± that was his new name and identity. Since he had no attachment back on Earth, as his parents on earth passed away peace-fully, so it was beginning of a brand-new life. But there was slight problem, This world was extremely dangerous! From the memories of this body, he understood that this parallel world was named Earth too and geographical map was the same but names of the counties were different, every else was the same. It was not until catastrophe knows as ¡°The Descend of Dreadbeasts¡±, which swept the globe, set the world on path of no return. A large number of dimensional rifts had appeared on Earth. A magical energy gushed out from this rifts which humans called Astral energy with spread across the world, eventually leading to evolution of the animals, as well as plant life on Earth. Cute dogs became ferocious beasts that can bite your head clean off, while little hamsters became bloodthirsty demons. Even flowers that showed the beauty of world became man-eating vicious plants. Then what about the animals that lived in the wild that followed the rules of the jungle, they became apocalyptic Dreadbeasts. When everything falls, Disaster was inevitable! These Dreadbeasts clawed into human habitats, and mankind tried to resist, but firearms could only kill some low-level Dreadbeasts. Even nuclear weapon, which showed the military power of the country, was now unable to get desired effect. The result was devastating, with mankind falling from the top of the found chain straight to the bottom. Countless people perished! Countless cities were destroyed! Countless families were ripped apart! Mankind¡¯s population plummeted to one-third of it.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. ¡°Why am I so unlucky to end up in such a dangerous world?¡± Simon felt suffocated. Even though he was living in base city, it was still dangerous. One need to know that Riverstone Base city that he lived in was just a medium-sized base city with population of three million. If it was hit with slightly stronger Dreadbeasts the city¡¯s defenses would go down and all hell breaks loose. The body that he now possessed had been hospitalized due to serious injuries caused by a Dreadbeasts that broke into the base city. ¡°It looks like I am born into broke family that just declared bankruptcy last month, falling in debt of millions of dollars¡­¡± Simon was in despair. It was not easy to get a chance to cross over, but for him to end up in such a dangerous place on top of being broke, Simon had no word to describe the feeling in his heart. ¡°Forget it, past is past let deal with it now that I am here.¡± Simon soon focused his attention on another thing: the Astral Lords! As the plants and animals evolved under effects of Astral energy, human that was part of the world, were no exception to. As very few lucky ones had also evolved under the effects of Astral energy and gained incredible abilities! Earth manipulation, Metal control, Super speed, Super strength, Water manipulation¡­. And these abilities are called Astral skills and those who had it were called¡­ Astral Lords! The emerges of Astral Lords allowed the mankind to survive and fight against Dreadbeasts, with their help human quickly stood back on their legs and established survival bases and thus, survived. In this world of rampaging Dreadbeasts, the Astral Lords defended the humanity while they fought the Dreadbeasts, they are given special privileges as they became the upper-class beings in mankind. ¡°Astral Lords? Forget the identity and status of one, having an Astral itself was a fortune¡± a sharp light passed in Simon¡¯s eyes. People with Special power only existed in novels, comics, movies and TVs in his previous life, but now that people existed in real and he to had the chance to become like them. ¡°It¡¯s just so tempting! If I had an Astral skill, it would be awesome¡­¡± The more he thought, the more he was excited. ¡°There are generally two ways to become an Astral Lord; one is having the natural talent for Astral skills.¡± ¡°As long as one reaches the right age, they can participate in Astral trials and awaken their Astral skills!¡± ¡°But there is a small problem, very few percentages of people have the natural talent for Astral skills, and chances are there may not be one even in a group of thousands, So, the number of Astral Lords were very low, and Riverstone¡¯s three-million population, the number of Astral Lord only amounts to a few thousands!¡± ¡°And other method was booked only for personal who are born with silver-spoon in their month, that is Astral herb which is found in the nature but guarded by strong Dreadbeasts, only strong Astral Lords could travers, which made this herb just to expensive¡± Simon sighed. Even when his family was not bankrupt, he could not be able to afford it, it not only he money it also needed connections to buy it, as it will disappear the moment it hits the market, all parties would snatch it away. ¡°My only hope is the Astral trials seven days later¡± Even so the world was vastly different, but majority of the people were still ordinary people who finished collage and live a normal life. So, Bharat still retained the college entrance examination system, and the Astral trials was a months before the college entrance examination. (Note: - Bharat, is the nation that main character currently lives in, the place nor the name have any relation with reality) If found to have talent for Astral skills their whole life will move in a trajectory that was dramatically different from before. One would not need to take entrance exam, no need to study hard only to work away your life but would be directly be hired by an Astral agency, and would lead a completely different life. ¡°Simon, are you awake?¡± As Simon was deep in his thought, someone called for him pushing the door open, wearing a school uniform, a girl with cute little face that he oddly felt too familiar walked in with bag of fruits. Seeing whom Simon was shocked as his eyes were wide open! ¡°Simon, what¡¯s the matter with you? Are you feeling anything wrong should I call the doctor?¡± The cute little girl asked with concerned face. ¡°Nothing!¡± Simon quickly shook his head, as his feeling were rather complicated, As this was first time after coming to this world that he saw his own sister¡­ Olivia Reid. Through The Sky A three days later, his body recovered and as discharged from the hospital, after with he started his school life. Past life was not good to him when it come to his grades as it was always below average and above fail mark, yet it was even more useless in this world as the curriculum in this world did not have English, math''s as part of any subjects. While he was attending classes, time slowing passed. 3th of April arrived in the blink of an eye. Just as the evening classes were going to end, headmaster walked in. ¡°All children be silent; I have something to announce¡± The headmaster was a middle-aged man, named Edward Blake. ¡°We all that the Astral trials will begin tomorrow. I believe all of you are looking forward to it, but l would like to remind everyone not to except and place too much hope in it¡± ¡°The chances of an Astral lord appearing is a thousand to one!¡± ¡°Hence, for the vast majority of us, its just walk in park, so do not deviate from our goal, which is to pass the college entrance exam¡± ¡°So, do you understand?¡± Edward looked at everyone in the class. ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Everyone answered loudly, but hope was still burning in their eyes and their heart. Headmaster saw this could not help but sigh. what could he do, Astral Lords were representing the top of the world, they could jump up the social ladder overnight and change the fate of one own and their family. ¡­¡­.. Early next morning, the school ground was filled with students, as all the Riverstone high school¡¯s third years have arrived. ¡°Oi, Simon, I¡¯m nervous!¡± Simon¡¯s good friend, Ivan Tarnell was nervous, because his family background was ordinary, but he was easy-going and righteous. So, he got along with Simon, and their relationship was good. ¡°Ivan, chill. If you are fated for greatness, then you will get it. if not, then I would not matter¡± Simon comforted him. Even when he was comforting him, he too was nervous as well. Because it was the moment that determine one¡¯s fate who could stay calm?If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ¡°Simon, you are just too calm¡± When the hour hand hit nine on the clock everyone felt uneasy, as headmaster, as well as other school teacher escorted a group of people up the stage on the school ground. Some of them carried some instruments and placed them on the prepared table. As everyone settle down on the stage, the headmaster looked at the sea of student as he walked to the podium, he voiced out loud, ¡°Today the Astral Trials. First, let us all welcome our important guest with warn of applause, the manager of the WoodLong Astral company¡¯s Riverstone Base City branch, Mister Mark Wilson and his team. The WoodLong Astral company was one of the top 300 companies in Bharat and its branches covered many base cities in this country. It was all so considered strong in the Riverstone Base City. And to be the general manager of the Riverstone Base City branch, Mark Wilson was definitely an Astral Lord himself. ¡°Hello, students!¡± Mark Wilson gave the student a simple greeting and the trials officially began. The testing equipment were a combination of floating helmet and a super computer behind it which was connect to it, there were total of ten equipment. With the guidance of WoodLong¡¯s staff, they put the helmets on and started the trials. ¡°Are this device to test if someone has Astral skills? they should be expensive¡± ¡°Yes, they are, its super expensive even if you sell yourself you can¡¯t pay for it¡± ¡°You think? The device is made out of two components, a smart computer and a floating helmet. Once we put on the floating helmet, our minds will be drawn into a virtual realm by the computer, and we¡¯ll experience some extreme situations!¡± ¡°At the same time, a special silver needle on the helmet will stimulate the pineal gland at the front of our brain and input the Astral energy into it.¡± Student talked around themselves. Then the next moment, all ten students screamed as the encountered something unusual. Some were crying, some were showing despair, some were excited¡­. Their expression was varying but all were extreme. Simon was secretly amazed. Seeing everything that machine was doing to student for awakening their Astral skills. But of course, only those with nature talents would awaken. For other that did not have any talent for Astral energy will not awaken. ¡°Wonder if these ten students have Astral skills¡± Simon watched the ten students carefully trying to notice any change, and all other student did the same, as they hold onto their hands nervously. As it was first time for most people to watch Astral trial up close, and it might also be their last time too. Unknowingly, a minute passed, and aside from screaming the ten students showed no other abnormal behavior. ¡°They have no talent!¡± Mark Wilson shook his head and commanded the staffs to stop the trial. ¡°Next Batch¡± The school had long gotten accustomed to this, as there were only handful of people that can awaken to start with and in the previous years, the number people who awakened can be counted in one hand. In fact, some years there had not been any at all. And this year¡¯s trials had only just begun, so it would be impossible for them to strike something yet, so they had wait patiently ¡°Next batch¡± ¡°Next batch¡± ¡°Next batch¡± ¡°Next batch¡­..¡± ¡­. ¡­. ¡­ ¡­ As the sun rose increasingly higher while the student waited nervously under the scorching sun. when the sun was at its highest, ten classed have completed their trial, in which non have awakened Astral skills. Seeing which many students gradually despaired. ¡°Damn, the probability is just too low!¡± Simon secretly anxious cursed. Even his confidence as a reincarnated Main character was slowly wavering, seeing that not one person has awakened in ten classed worth of students. ¡°Simon, I think it our turn next!¡± Chapter No.3: - Through The Sky Part-2 ¡°Now or never, whether I will live a good life or slog for the rest of my life, it all depends on this moment¡± Simon comforted himself as he regained some confidence. ¡°Caleb Ashford¡± ¡°Milo Drennan¡± ¡°Ethan Crowell¡± ¡°Julian Harkness¡± ¡°Asher Lorne¡± ¡°Grayson Whitloc¡± ¡°Simon Reid¡± ¡°Ivan Tarnell¡± ¡°Silas Northam¡± ¡°Rowan Vealey¡± ¡°Simon, I am so nervous¡± Ivan was trembling with sweaty covering his face. ¡°don¡¯t be nervous¡± Simon smiled faintly and stepped up the stage first, but because he too was nervous, and stepped up the stairs. Then the staff from WoodLong¡¯s helped placing the helmet on his head. Slowly his consciousness blurred for a moment, then he arrived in completely unfamiliar environment. A wild and warn wind blew past his face. He saw a green field that resembled that on classic windows wallpaper. ¡°This is the virtual world created by the smart computer?¡± Simon was amazed. ¡°This is so real¡± Was it? It was absolutely real! ¡°Roar!!!¡± As Simon was overwhelmed with scenery, a thunderous roar rang out in the distance. As the sound reach his eardrums, he felt it was going to burst. Quickly turning to side, he saw a giant white wolf that stood nearly two building tall running towards him. ¡°it¡¯s fake! it¡¯s all fake! there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of¡±Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Simon tried his best to move his body but it was not listening to him, as it was shaking uncontrollably, especially when he looked at the fast-approaching white wolf. The fear in his heart became stronger and stronger. In the end, the white wolf, bite his head clean off. Beep! As if someone of was pulled of life support Simon felt his mind in exited state after exited the Virtual space. Bathed in sweat, his body shaking uncontrollably. ¡°That¡­ that was scary¡± Recalling the image early. Simon felt his hair stand and his heart rate increase. But before he could calm down, an excited voice sounded in his ears. ¡°Some has awakened¡± ¡°Awakened? Could it be me?¡± Simon was shocked as looked at the owner of the voice, Mark Wilson He saw that Mark Wilson was looking directly at him with a satisfied smile. ¡°Kid, congratulation on being the luckiest one and awakening the power of fire¡± ¡°Awakening the power of fire¡± Simon was so excited that he could not help himself, and seeing the headmaster and the class teachers all walking toward him. The headmaster stretched out his hand enthusiastically before even reaching near him, but Simon did not mind as he also reached out to shake the principal¡¯s hand. Unfortunately, the headmaster walked past him, and the class teacher, as well as all those teachers that followed him. Making their way towards the person next to him. ¡°Student there, what your name?¡± ¡°Iv..Ivan, I am Ivan Tarnell¡± ¡°Ivan Tarnell, congratulation!¡± ¡°Student Ivan, you are the pride of our school¡± Simon turned around and look at Ivan, who was surrounded by the headmaster and the teacher, his whole body was glowing with light orange colour. Ivan was surround by small flames that danced around him like fairies, they were not burning with fuel but were instead flying around Ivan without any fuel. Simon looked at himself, there was nothing. ¡°He awakened the power of flames? not me?¡± Simon felt like all world was collapsing in itself. ¡°At last, my reincarnated MC luck have run out¡± Simon did not know how he left the stage. The greatest pain in life was to be give hope, only to have it taken way. ¡°Sigh, Fuck!¡± Simon was not in the mood to watch the rest of the trials as he walked off to find a place to vent. As for other, yeah, they could go to hell! ¡°Simon¡± Ivan voice rang out from behind Simon turned around and looked at Ivan who held his arm from behind which made Simon annoyed but turning back seeing Ivan face that was his best friend. Simon forced some word out. ¡°Congratulation! Iva¡­..n¡± His word got stuck as he suddenly saw few lines of weird black character suddenly appeared before him. Name: Ivan Tarnell Race: Human Astral skill: Fire Manipulation (Awakened, replicable) ¡°Bloody hell!¡± Simon thought that he was hallucinating and he shook his head vigorously. Yet, the characters were stuck in front of his eyes and the remained there. ¡°The hell?¡± he pulled away from Ivan, and the lines of words disappeared. When he touched Ivan again, the words appeared once again. Name: Ivan Tarnell Race: Human Astral skill: Fire Manipulation (Awakened, replicable) Whenever he come into contact with Ivan, the words would appear. ¡°Could his be my¡­.?¡± Simon did not want think too much about it as he overwhelmed from seeing the floating characters. then Simon breathed in as he tried to replicate Ivan skill. Woosh! The black line spread and covered Ivan from head to toe, seeing his expression Simon understood only he could see the black aura that spread and cover Ivan. A second later, the black aura left Ivan¡¯s body and returned to Simon, but this time a new set of word appeared. Replication completed. Install? ¡°Install¡± Chapter No.4: - Overpowered Skill Woosh! The black word transformed into a black light that shot toward the center of his head. Immediately after, extremely condensed energy exploded in Simon¡¯s head and swept through his entire brain. Vooosh! Simon felt like he had been struck by lightning as a heart-piercing pain struck his nerves. He let out a painful scream, hugging his head as he rolled around. ¡°Simon, what happened?¡± The sudden development frightened Ivan, and his other classmates also surrounded him ¡°My¡­head¡­. Hurts!¡± Simon felt his head was burning and melting and reforming all at the same time, sweat rolled down his forehead. For second, he thought that something will split his head open and crawl out of it. ¡°Simon, wait I will call for an ambulance¡± Ivan took out his cell phone and was about to dial for ambulance. At that moment, the school¡¯s teachers and Mark Wilson who had noticed the commotion, also walked over. ¡°What happened?¡± the headmaster asked nervously. But the one that replied to headmaster was Mark Wilson with look of delight. ¡°Congratulation, Headmaster¡± ¡°Mr. Mark, what do you mean?¡± the headmaster appeared dumbfounded. ¡°If I am not wrong, this student is awakening his Astral skill¡± Mr. Mark said with a smile. ¡°Awakening his Astral skill¡± The headmaster and teachers were taken aback. The class teacher was even more puzzled. ¡°But... But Simon already went through the trial earlier, he did not awaken, now it only happened now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s normal!¡± Mark Wilson smiled faintly. ¡°Under normal circumstances, many awaken when going through the trial, but there are few that awaken their skill later from other, we can say this as a buffer period¡± Hearing which headmaster and teachers had a look of understanding and realization. Then it hit them. ¡°So that means there are two third-year student have successfully awakened their Astral skills this year¡± Hearing this every one of the teachers where happy as giving birth to two Astral Lord was considered a great contribution to the world the reward, they would will be remarkable. ¡°Congratulation¡¯s, headmaster!¡± ¡°Thank you, thank you¡± The headmaster was so happy that he wished to give both a bear hug on the spot but thinking about his image as the headmaster he reframed from it. In the past it was already nice to have one awakened. But this year, two of them awakened, and good things came in pairs. The onlooking students were whispering among themselves, their eyes full of envy. ¡°What kind of gods give luck do these guys have?¡± ¡°Where many of us didn¡¯t manage to awaken our Astral skills, but these two did? Why?¡±If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. Jealousy disoriented people, it would have been fine if it had been someone else, but what kind of people were Simon and Ivan. They had average grades. They came from average families. They had nothing else other than their looks, yet they were the ones that awakened, was being handsome a condition to awaken Astral skills. ¡°Simon, how are you feeling?¡± Seeing Simon gradually stabilize, Ivan asked with concern. ¡°I¡¯m¡­Okay¡± Simon wiped the sweat from this forehead and forced a smile. His face was paled, but the experience just now gave him a run for his money. ¡°Simon, we are Astral Lords now¡± Ivan was full of excitement as he laughed, shaking Simon hand vigorously, for second there Simon felt his arm was going fall off. But he pretended to be shock as watch everyone eye on him ¡°Student Simon, congratulation you too have also awakened the power of fire¡± Hearing the headmaster and the school teacher congratulate him, Simon was thrilled. Awakening was exciting but what excited him more was the Astral Skill he awakened a law-defining skill ability to replicate other Astral skill. Do it not sound awesome! But then Simon become caution because the power to he had was to overpowered! It needed to be hidden until he gains the power that no man gain can threaten him. Subsequently, the school teacher and others returned to the stage to continue the trial they also invited Simon and Ivan to stage. ¡°Simon, Ivan, first of all, congratulation on successfully awakening your Astral skill and becoming an Astral Lord. ¡°Thank you¡± both said. ¡°Both of you should know that Astral skills are mainly divided into four types: - Elemental Manipulation Type, Body Transformation Type, Mental Type and Unique Special-Type And the power of fire that both of you have awakened comes under Elemental Manipulation Type. Which also have the most offensive capability on Elemental Manipulation Types¡± Simon and Ivan nodded repeatedly. Different Astral skill had different uses. Some were combat-type and other were support type each contributing something in humanity. And some where special like mind reading, invisibility, etc. ¡°Some had different usages, but combat related Astral lords were most sort after in this world filled with Dreadbeasts¡± Mark Wilson smiled and said, ¡°So I hope that both of you can join our WoodLong Astral company¡± ¡°In the name of the branch¡¯s general manager, I assure that as long as you join us, you will enjoy the following benefits! Firstly, you will gain an Entry-Level Astral Technique! I assume both of you have heard of it, right?¡± Mark Wilson smiled and said, ¡°its Astral technique that enable us Astral lords to gather Astral energy from the environment faster to grow stronger faster, than someone without Astral Technique¡± Hearing this Simon was shocked. Since the emergence of the dimensional rifts, the Astral energy had appeared on Earth. However, ordinary people could not sense them. Only the Astral lords who had awakened their Astral skill could clearly sense and absorb the Astral energy. Because it can define how faster an Astral Lords can grow stronger but only giant organization and government had them so Astral Lords are to join either one of them to get access to it. ¡°Secondly, we will arrange a stand-alone villa for each of you, of course, the villas are company properties, so you only have the right to reside in them, not buy or sell them!¡± Mark Wilson continued. Even if Astral technique is unknown to them, and they don¡¯t know the value of that technique, but the stand-alone villas was something else because they know the value of a villa in this godforsaken world where they gave security and protecting to their loved one was more valuable. And if you wanted to live in a villa, you needed to have not only the money but also authority and status to go along with it. Out of the five million people in the entire Riverstone Base City, no more than ten thousand could afford to live in villas. Yet now, as long as the two of them agreed to join The WoodLong Astral company, they would be part of this club of five thousand and live in villas. How could they not be excited? Mark Wilson was very satisfied with their expressions, and he continued, ¡°thirdly, the employee of WoodLong Astral company is naturally paid a salary of 50,000 a month, not including allowances¡± ¡°I believe that in entire Riverstone Base City, there is almost no other organization that can provide such generous. Please consider if you would like to join our Riverstone Base City!¡± ¡°Mr. Mark, there¡¯s no need to think!¡± Ivan was already tempted, and without any hesitation he was going to immediately agree to it. However, Simon pulled on his hand and said ¡°Ivan, this is a major life event. You should at least discuss this with your parents?¡± Hearing this Ivan¡¯s brain worked overtime as he puzzled together what Simon was saying because Ivan knows Simon was always good with his brain and he would never do things without thinking twice. So, he joined in with it ¡°Yes, yes I should ask my father first if not he would break my legs¡± Ivan laughed and stopped. Mark Wilson observed their expression and his face darkened as he looked at Simon but he still kept his smile and said ¡°Yes this is indeed a major life event. You should discuss it with your parents. This is my business card. You can give me a call once you¡¯ve made up your minds!¡± When Mark Wilson was giving Simon the card, he leaned toward him and whispered into his ears. ¡°Know your place, brat¡± The deep voice was heard in his ear, then Simon felt shaver down his spine as Mark targeted his killing intend at Simon. For a second there Simon felt he was standing before that white wolf again but this he was in real life face to face. After seeing the paled face Simon, Ivan was concerned as he quickly said. ¡°Thank you, Sir!¡± As he took Marks business card from his hand and pulled Simon with him of the stage. Chapter No.5: - Understanding My Place Ivan pulled Simon away from stage and when they reached far away from the eyes of strangers. Simon¡¯s legs gave away as he kneeled on the road with his body shivering. Seeing death at his door made him realize how weak and fragile his life was as it was nearly taken from him just for taking for himself. ¡°Simon, are you okay?¡± Hearing the concerned voice of Ivan Simon snaped out of his thoughts. ¡°It...it¡¯s nothing, Ivan I just was focused other thing¡± Simon said not wanting to pull him in to his problem, standing up with Ivan¡¯s support. But Ivan was not dumb, he knew that something happened between Simon and Mark Wilson. Not wanting to force him Ivan said nothing. ¡°Ivan lets split up here and go back to our house, let our parent know this good news.¡± Then both of split up. But Simon did not go to his home but looked for internet caf¨¦ by the road. He now had a lot of questions he needed to get answers too. Since his Astral skill was something that never appeared in the world before, there was not much information on it. However, an article called ¡°The Hypothesis of Possible Astral Skills and predicting the skill that an individual awakens¡± which caught his attention. The article opened with this: ¡ùIndividual¡¯s Astral skills can be predicting with their genetic habits and the character. Habits that humans are born with and their character like for example: an Astral Lord that awakened power of fire will normally have this characteristic 1. They are hot head or righteous sometime both 2.the have the habit of show off their body Which are just examples ¡ùThere are no two identical eggs in the world nor two identical Astral skills Even Astral skills of the same sort, differ in many subtle ways, and the best proof of this is seen in the awakened Astral Lords. Astral abilities vary from person to person, and the number of persons on Earth is equal to the number of possible Astral abilities.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. What kind of Astral skill may appear in the future? Immediately after, the author listed out a large number of Astral skills that had yet to appear, and he made detailed guesses of all these brand-new Astral skills, Replication being one of them. Replication Astral skill is an incredible gift that will grant an Astral lord to copy-paste ability to replicate other Astral Lord¡¯s skills. Its possessor could eventually become an omnipotent god! ¡°Of course, Replication Skill can also have many limitations, like time of effect, cooldown, replication restrictions¡­ and the like! Simon read each and every word, suddenly he had lots of questions in his mind ¡°are the skill that I copied temporary or permanent?¡± "After I replicate an Astral skill, how long would it take me to replicate again? ¡°Can I duplicate every skill?¡± "Do my replications have any flaws?" The series of questions gave Simon a headache, he knew that he had no one to help him, only he could learn by himself. Simon looked up information about all Astral companies and organizations, which were the world strongest power, and organization that stood toe to toe with governments of countries. And he also looked up Mark Wilson his skills and everything related to him that was showed on open internet. Then he looked up the Top 500 Astral Organization ranking and started to browse it from top to bottom. The number one organization was obviously God Beetle Company, an Astral organization founded by the number one powerhouse, Emperor Beetle He was the earths number one powerhouse! From his name, Emperor Beetle had Astral skill associated with his body. Indeed, Emperor beetle¡¯s skill belonged to a transformation-type, and he could transform into a very terrifying black humanoid beetle, A Horned Dung Beetle. Horned Dung Beetle were known as the most physically strongest in the human world, as they are known to lift more than 1,000 time its own weights and was a powerful force of nature. Emperor beetle have the ability to transform into this freak of nature. ¡°God Beetle Company is the world¡¯s number one Astral organization, with branches all over the world. Its founder is also the world¡¯s number one powerhouse. And a place filled where people with strong skills gather, the place where my Astral skill will shine the most¡± So, he was determined to join God Beetle Company, he was not afraid of them looking down on him nor was afraid of poor treatment because he believed if his Astral skill was truly perfect then, he would stand at top of world, looking down at everyone else. Sun was already down, when Simon left the internet caf¨¦. He reached a park were some old men when sitting around camp fire. Looking at the fire he wanted to try out his replicated skill Fire Manipulation. So, he looked for a secluded area and started to test out his new skill he obtained. Simon stood and pointed his finger, activating his skill as a small fire formed on his fingertips. The flame felt like it was an extension of his body itself, enabling him to seemingly control the flame as he thought, it was strange feeling that he never felt before. So, threw the flame and controlled it Rise! Turn! Accelerate! Split! Simon wished to extinguish the flame it disappeared as if it never existed. Only one word was going through his mind: cool! ¡°So, the skill I replicated are permanent not time limited¡± Simon said but with some uncertainness because he can not know, would the skill go away after twenty-four hour or a week there were uncertain until the next time he can use his skill. ¡°Know my place huh? I will show you my place¡± Clutched his hands.
