《Clone Warrior》Six Heads Better Than One
Advertisement
Alex did not do anything out of the norm the whole day. He stayed at home, took care of his and his mother's needs. While it was not glamorous or exciting, it had to be done.
After the ingestion of skill experience over several days of training, Alex felt amazing. His strength and endurance were just off the charts judging by how he cleaned the whole house in half the time, his sword thrusts and blocks were more natural.
This training speed could easily get him to level one hundred in those two skills in a week or two. He just had to fix his problems first.
It wasn't until after Eve had set that the clones he had sent to scout came back. They looked unharmed and unbothered. Alex motioned them to sit on the chairs around his new table.
"Let's get down to business. First, I need information on the clinic building." Alex said while crossing his hands together. How he wished at this moment he had a map of the city.
"The building is three stories high and has tons of windows. I could basically spy on the whole interior. Anyway, I don't think there is a basement." The clones then contemplated for a bit. "And if my measurements are right, there shouldn't be any large medicine vault on the first floor. It's probably on the second or third floor, though I'm betting on the third floor."
"And how many employees?" Alex questioned, noting down the details on a paper.
"I've seen four doctors on duty so far and two clerks. All of their offices are on the first floor and they do their medical examinations on the second or third floor." The clone continued. "They come to work at Genesis's late stride and leave work at Eve's mid stride at roughly the same time."

Alex nodded. This was good, the more regular their schedules are the better chances of this going to plan.
"Alright, good job. You guys found out where the doctors live?" Alex switched to the other four clones. He was lucky that the numbers of doctors didn't exceed the amount of clones he could put out.
"I think they all live reasonably close by to the clinic?" A clone raised a question and looked at the other three, they also nodded. "Well, the house the doctor I was following was ordinary. Could easily get in through the windows and steal everything from it."
Alex nodded and was going to speak before being interrupted by a clone.
"Yeah they are easy to get into, but the guards are doing lots of patrols there. I would bet they could get there quickly." The clone added.
"That would be a good thing actually, the guards that would be patrolling around the clinic would head towards the houses when we rob them." The clone. "It will serve as a distraction."
"What would serve as a better distraction is if we lit up the whole house on fire. The whole neighbourhood would be at risk of burning even though most of them are made of stone." The clone smiled viciously.
Alex furrowed his brows, that was a good distraction but a terrible idea. While stealing as a necessity was not wrong to an extent, willfully burning someone just to cause a distraction was not great.
It would also paint a greater target on his back. A thief was expected and an arsonist was to be hunted.
"No, we will not burn down anything. It will risk other people's lives needlessly." Alex ordered. "Alright, the attack plan is clear for me."

He stopped for a moment to gather his thoughts and continued.
"Just before the doctors come out of the clinic, you guys break into their homes, grab as much coins as you can, and then run and hide them at an agreed upon drop site." Alex twirled the quill in his hands. "After depositing the loot, you will head towards the clinic and wait with the fifth clone for the doctors to go back to their homes. Once that happens, the fifth clone will sneak in to the second or third floor, drop the medicines needed through a window to a clone on the ground, and repeat."
"Once all clones are gone to deposit the medicines, the fifth clone will steal the coins available and leave the building. Is that clear?" Alex said.
"Why are you telling us this? Aren't you going to cancel us?" A clone said confusedly.
"No, you guys know the houses and locations better than I do. You will stay existing." Alex said. "Now please make as many holes in this plan as you can, six heads are better than one."
The clones and Alex went into deep thought over the plan. It was several moments later that a clone started to talk.
"What if we get unlucky and get captured? If we get unmasked, it's all over. And if you wanted to cancel us, how would you know we are going to be captured?" The clone said.
"How about a poison we can ingest if we face capture? If it's quick, it can do the job of cancelling us." Another clone murmured and the others recoiled.
"It's…a solution, and I think the only solution. I will try to buy the quickest painless poison from the balck market." Alex put his hands into his face, dreading the journey of buying poisons. He chuckled, his life is crazy.
"And you Alex, what will you do for an alibi?" The clones asked.
"I'm thinking of going to the training yards, especially the one with the archer woman. The clone who trained with her said she paid him special attention." Alex bit his lip and continued. "She can verify my existence, along with the other trainees there.*
The clones nodded and relaxed.
"Alright guys, rest for the night and prepare for tomorrow. Stay inside my father's room so people can't see you and don't exit the house while I'm out buying the necessary supplies." Alex said and sat up to prepare them the blankets he had in spare to sleep on.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
