《My power is actually really OP you know》30. I understand myself the most
Advertisement
"My job here is done."
My doppelganger turns toward me. This may be easier than expected.
Though I can't control him, he was made by me with a single purpose. His personality is already determined.
He is well-aware of the nature of his etherealness. After this, he will go back to whatever hypothetical fictional world he came from, leaving me alone.
However-
Ylin v2 has not left yet. He was staring at me with indiscernible eyes.
I realize that he could read my mind, but does it really matters, he already knows what kind of man I am.
I don't really consider him to be human despite being one of my finest creation, being a recreation of me. Still, as someone who is a recreation of me, he should have known what kind of man I am.
"Ylin, you know we are the same person right?"
"Yeah...?"
"Could you treat me less badly?"
Both he and I already know the answer to that question.
"Alright, I'm going back. Because I am *just* a created being, I have no right to effect the world you inhabit. It is not as if I have any real emotions at all, considering I was created. It is not as if we are the same person, not at all."
I can already hear the whine and the sarcasm so inherent within my own voice. I would like to say that I don't sound like that, but I do.
"I live in a broken world, with my only purpose is to cause endless suffering to people. I have no mother, I have no father, I have no moral conundrum, it was because I was created in that broken world with my only purpose being pre-determined for me."
"Enough."
I stare back at him, a face that resembles me but is not actually me.

"You are not real."
The words struck with a finality, nothing was shown within Ylin V2's eyes, there was only quietness between us.
However, suddenly Ylin V2 breathes, suddenly he lost all tension and shrugged.
"I ain't complaining, I'm just testing you."
Then he comes closer, close enough that his breath can be felt on my ear,
"Remember your principle, you must not have any mercy. No mercy for me, yourself, no mercy for anyone, got it?"
Sometime I forgot that this Ylin was supposed to be a 'cruel' version of me from the future, how can I forget. Of course, his sole purpose in life is only to create despair, so he is trying to persuade me to create despair too.
He is nothing but something I made after all.
"Yeah, I'm really going back now. However-" Again, he interrupts his leaving "I do have one question."
The omniscient version of me wanted to ask a question, that is rare. That mean the question pertain to me and nobody else, the only thing he couldn't see was me as I was his creator.
"Ylin, are there thing you are hiding from me, manifestation of yourself. Are you confident this is the real you?"
"Yes this is me. And no, there is nothing."
Ylin V2 turns away, it is not like he is displeased, but it is not like there is anything he can do about it. What does he want to know? He doesn't have that right.
There is one lesson all reality warper should learn at the start, though I wish I have known about it at the start. If Ylin V2 knows, he may call me a hypocrite and rebel against me. Can't have that of course.
Lesson 101 to all reality warpers, everything is a canvas, all of reality and time is your playground. Even history can be changed, what can be considered real and fake cannot be discerned. Everything is an illusion, even memory and history. Just like the suit entity who suffered a ghastly fate under Ylin V2, his reality was changed by a greater reality manipulation effect and with that, he lost all fang.

However, just because everything can be changed does not mean everything should be changed, for all reality warper should learn that first lesson long ago lest them be their own victim. A reality warper could change the reality of everyone, even themselves.
When that happened, a paradox occur, does he who is his own parents and his own creation truly exist at all? Does a perfect superman who has erased all of his flaw still the same person?
All reality warpers should be advised, when editing reality, you should leave your own history alone, lest something terrible happen. Even if you change yourself and become a perfect transcendent existence, is it truly worth it when the only thing that existed now is the perfect transcendent existence with your memory while you yourself was erased.
It is never worth it.
However, I am still me. It may be hypocritical, but I never consider any being that was created through a change in reality to be human.
The false dimension created by Ylin V2 collapsed as he left for his own miserable universe in a fictionous future
Suddenly, I found myself on a comfortable bed. There was a note next to me. It was my own handwriting.
"I patched up your relationship with our sister. Even if you dislike her, consider it as a tool to live a comfortable life if you want. After all, even if you don't like her, without a stable house or personal identification, you can't take up your own day job again. Beat living on the street at least. When you have resumed your work and take back your old position, you can consider distancing yourself from her, I don't care. Until then, you miss the camera don't you?"
Well, it is true that I understand myself the most.

Malt the Manslayer
This story does not follow a hero. Malt doesn’t slay dragons with a holy sword nor is he granted immense magical power when he transfers. Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”
