Chapter 2: Now there's two of them.
{Plop!} A skinny man of 23 years old suddenly appeared above the ground in the middle of a forest, falling on his postiere. Who is he you ask? He is Gary, He is the main protagonist and he is ready.
"Hoo yeah boy! Let's start this ride STATUS!" Yelled Gary.

"Alright! Level 0 sucks but okay! [CLONE]".
[Cloning...error! level too low]
"Dang, guess we are doing a {weak to strong}. Well this just tells me what to do for the first step, yup fighting!".
Gary, finally taking notice of his surroundings, found himself in a forest, deeply filled with trees. Not a human(earth human or OLOP human) in sight. Even if there was one, Gary doesn't know how to fight, he's never even been in one. Well except for verbal ones over the internet but nobody counts those.
However Gary's fortune counterbalances his lacking skill, as he found a stick, a GOOD stick. It was a perfect size for our..hero?
"Alright world show me what you got!" (Gary)
Ask and ye shall be received. A goblin that has been hearing Gary's shouts of enthusiasm since he arrived emerges from behind the tree and is primed to fight for the tasty human flesh that Gary contains.
The goblin was of your typical design, green skin here, long nose there ugly face here, grotesque pen- never mind that last bit. The generic goblin ignored Gary's stares and started charging at Gary, arms out and mouth open to bite that sweaty flesh.
"Yaggh gaarr ssh GAR" went the goblin, then "BANG, BANG" went the stick on the now dead goblins head.

" I knew this was a good stick." (Proud Gary)
[level up! +1]
"Finally took long enough, [Clone]".
[Cloning.....complete!]
***
In reality the event took over five minutes, Gary felt like he was bloating up. Something akin to when he was last at his grandma's place, and the feeling was only rising. Fortunately it wasn't uncomfortable, it was a weird feeling for Gary as he felt something awaken within him.
After the five minutes, there was a poof sound and a cloud to accompany it. Now there were two Garys, they looked completely alike, except one was naked.
However instead of happiness the OG (original Gary) was feeling a bit unwell, no it was not due to the fact that he was seeing himself naked, nor the existential crisis involving who's the real Gary. It was a more of... a magical kind of feeling.
"..Status." (Original Gary)

"Woah, must be low mana power. Does the skill take 10 mp or all of my mp? But that was the same amount that I had at level 0 why did it work only now?" asked the original Gary.
" I might have an idea, show status" Said the naked Gary.

"So you're half me?" said Original.
"Well I'm you, but im I clone, for some reason I know that i'm not the original. Must be a safety measure. But yes I do have half your attributes and all of your handsome." said clone naked Gary.

" Interesting, hmmm half of zero is well zero so maybe the skill can't make something that doesn't exist? ....Well that's a theory for later to test. Good that we don't have to worry about identity crises about who's the real one." said Original.
"Well that's easily solved if we just kill the other one.." said the copy.
"....."
"Ha ha ha " both laughed at the same time, it was weird to hear to say the least, there was no delay, it was synced perfectly.
"Yeah yeah, TOWN'S NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF US- HA ha ha ". One of the Garys said. And then they laughed for a while in the empty forest.

"Anyway how does it feel to be a copy, besides being cold." Asked Original.
"Hmm not that much different actually, I have all your memories, or at least I think I do. I don't feel any weaker than before we split even though I now have half my/your strength." (Naked Gary)
" I see, well this world has a gaming system so I'm sure some wibbly wobbly magic going on behind the scenes fixes stuff like that. Like your MP isn't exactly half so something more is going on , anyway for clarity sake I'll call you Gary 1." Said Original.
"Okay and yourself?" said Gary 1.
"OG or Original, seems fitting, also the author's already did it so yeah." Original.
"Alright Mr Snowflake, now what?."
"Mw ha ha ,my dear self you know the answer, Now we Conquer the world!"

Palus Somni
It is the final days after the end of the world and you only have one month left before the last sanctuary erupts into chaos. There's a dead body hanging from a tree and cadaverous giants watch you sleep at night. The end is already here, you just don't know it yet. Now rated in the top 3% of all novels on Royal Road! Palus Somni (‘Marsh of Sleep’) is a worldbuilding webnovel about what happens when your God forsakes you. Inspired by gothic horror and mingled with British myth and folklore, join the Alucinari nuns as they struggle with day-to-day life after the world has ended. Every night when the sun sets the monstrous Gol, colossal beings with too many teeth, awaken and roam the marshlands. Only those with a faithful heart will be spared. Young acolyte Wille has never seen the walls fail, but when a fellow nun is murdered within their sanctum the very safety of the monastery is thrown into question. Did the Gol find a way to breach their defences, or is there a human traitor amongst them? The answer lies both far in the past and deep beneath the earth, through the maze of ancient catacombs. With a cast of over thirty different characters, watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness at the hands of a callous and unforgiving world. Discover the secrets of Palus Somni through letters, diary entries and notes found scattered across the monastery. Uncover the mystery of the grotesque giants that stalk the night and bring your challenge to the Gods themselves. Each character has their own handmade pixel art, and every update includes a music recommendation for a dark atmospheric dungeon synth album that you can listen to while you read. Slice of life meets cosmic abomination: Palus Somni is a collection of intertwining stories, some chapters are stand-alone tales while others feed into the overarching narrative. It is an exploration into a community, and rather than focusing on any one character the story meanders through the convent, exposing the hopes and fears of its inhabitants. Story updates every full moon.

Looking forward to any constructive criticism, however, i already have in mind, the entire plot and tone of the story, any revisions based on feedback will likely only be considered upon completion. As of now starting out, i haven't really settled on a timeline for regular updates But I aiming for at least two chapters a week at about 2000 words each. I will promise at least one chapter of that size at least once a week, until completion. I'm rather determined to put this story on paper ( or web page i guess).

A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.
