Chapter 100: New Consciousness
'It's not a simple thing, lad. Before I tell you about how to separate a consciousness, I will ask you a question.' The Holem's Crown deliberated for a mont and asked.
'Do you know how one's consciousness is ford?'
'No.' Charles instantly shook his head. He searched about the mysterious 'consciousness' on the internet even in his past life, but he knew that those pieces of information were just imaginary nonsense of so random spiritualist.
'Haa, I will tell you in detail, so listen carefully. Let's take a newborn male baby as an example. After his birth, his mind will be wholly filled with emptiness. Although he could express his basic emotions, he wouldn't rember anything and only observe the surroundings curiously. Later, he will gather information in the na of mories, and these mories sooner form into mory fragnts.'
'Those mory fragnts started to gain more knowledge and experiences through seeing, hearing, slling, and sensing and soon mature into a basic consciousness form. That's how the babies will be aware of their own selves. Now, if you want to split a part of your consciousness, you need to replicate most of those mories through your inner world's power and create artificial consciousness. That's how you separate a part of your own consciousness.'
A look of realization appeared on Charles's face.
'That explains everything.' He nodded his head in enlightennt and soon sat on the bed in a cross-legged position before closing his eyes.
A second later, his consciousness traveled through the dark space and soon appeared in the Inner world. In his illusionary young form, Charles opened his eyes and soon looked around the gloomy dark forest filled with his past life mories.
First, he went near an illusionary mory and soon got confused about how to copy this mory.
'Wait… I'm a God in this Inner world, right? Hmm, I want to try sothing interesting.' He curled his lips upward as he zeroed his gaze on the first mory of his killing and clapped his hand. At that mont, another illusionary replica of that mory appeared on his right side!
"Shrink." He spoke coldly.
In a second, the whole mory illusion shrunk into a small pebble-like red stone and then landed on his illusionary palm!
'It worked.' A smile crept on his face.
'Now, I have to replicate the most important mories and then combine them to form a consciousness.' He nodded his head and started to work. Whenever he thinks of a specific mory, it would appear in front of him in the form of illusion. Then, he would replicate them and turn the replicated mory into a pebble-like red stone.
Like an almighty God, his illusionary form hovered in mid-air and started doing this process at a fast speed. He explored all his childhood mories, training mories, assassination mories, and so on and started picking up the important mories.
More than 60 years' worth of mories were scattered everywhere in the form of illusions in his inner world. Among those mories, Charles only chose the basic and important ones and assembled them into a single fragnt.
Once he was done, he concentrated his attention on it and started to weave it into the form of a human shape.
More than five hours had passed as he completely focused his attention on weaving the mories and soon smiled as he saw that mory fragnt turned into a clone image of his illusionary self.
'This is the final touch.' He muttered to himself and soon put another mory about his first mory of the killing.
As he completely weaved the final mory into the clone form, a change occurred in it.
Those mories started to fuse completely, and soon the clone image of him opened his illusionary jade eyes.
"Who are you?" Charles asked with a grin.
Confusion appeared on the clone's face and soon widened its jade eyes.
"Incarnation?" The clone 'Him' titled his head in puzzlent and soon started to grasp the situation. But Charles knew that he needed more ti to turn this consciousness form into a mature one entirely, so he simply shook his head.
"Stay in the inner world and gather more information from my mories. Although you can't absorb those mories without my permission, you can see them for yourself." After saying those words, Charles pulled his consciousness from the inner world with the 'Fla Body' spell's guidance and soon opened his eyes.
'Good. Next is about my disguise.' He thought for a mont as he opened the ga interface and poured 1898 Exp points into the Sub-Class option.
[759 Exp has been deduced for leveling up!]
[You are now a Level-2 Disguiser!]
[1 Free Attribute point Rewarded!]
[20 Skill points Rewarded!]
…
[1139 Exp has been deduced for leveling up!]
[You are now a Level-3 Disguiser!]
[1 Free Attribute point Rewarded!]
[20 Skill points Rewarded!]
…
'Hmm, I now have 100 free skill points.' He thought to himself and checked his body status.
'Oh? Did my [Disguise] skill increase on its own? Hmm, it must be due to my current disguising.' He nodded thoughtfully and soon put 22 skill points on the [Disguise] skill.
'The skill hasn't reached the peak level. Looks like 100 skill points is the peak level for skills.' Charles instantly noticed the difference and soon put another 20 skill points on the skill.
[Disguise skill has reached its peak state!]
A mont later, a change occurred in his body.
'What is this? I can even control the strength of my body?' Charles muttered to himself in shock and soon widened his eyes.
At that mont, the Holem's Crown also noticed the change and spoke in a confused tone.
"Why do I feel like you really turned into an old man?"
"Did you feel any difference?" Charles raised his head, stared at the black cane, and asked with an interesting smile on his face.
"No. Wait… Kid, did it have sothing to do with the [Trickster] series class's skill? Now, that explains a lot." The Holem's Crown spoke in an understanding tone.
On the other hand, Charles simply shook his head and soon fell into deep thoughts.
'From my understanding, I can tell that my sub-class skills are improving on their own. Currently, I have 58 free skill points. If I level up my sub-class twice, I will also receive another 40 skill points. But that won't be enough to increase other unique skills.' He paused for a mont and soon turned his attention to the unique skill tab.
'Conceal, Inspect, Interdiate dagger arts, Inspect, Sharpshooting. Among these unique skills, only [Inspect] skill is helping these days. Although [Sharpshooting] skill is helpful during assassinations, I don't think I need to waste my skill points on this skill. As for the conceal skill, I will think about it.' He nodded his head, and soon spent those two attribute points on 'Strength' and 'Constitution.'
He then thought for a mont and closed the ga interface.
After that, he took out the pocket watch from his space ring, opened the outer case, and checked the ti.
'It's 12.30 A.M. Can I go out and check the inforr? If I'm not wrong, he is living four streets away from this Maple Street, right?' Charles raised his eyebrows and soon shook his head.
'Aurora knew very little about that guy's personal strength. But he knew about Rhea's background and even blackmailed Aurora with that information. To silence him, Aurora and the Blood Priest paid more than 200 gold coins. Hmm, this type of guy is not soone I should take lightly. He might be a wolf hiding in sheep's skin.'
After thinking for a mont, he placed his head on the cotton pillow and closed his eyes to sleep.
