Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 5: 5 Starting preparation

[El's POV: ]

[Skill: Six Walls have been used by ID: Lucifer. Three Walls from the skill have been assigned to ID: Auriel.]

[ "El, let's move cautiously and grow a bit. I know you obviously know this, but that fat bastard is a villain in the end. Killing him won't be easy with our current bodies." ] He said in a serious tone as he gazed deep into my eyes.

It was necessary to kill this bastard so that we can get special rewards from the Worldline and beings of higher factions for our first kill of the evil demonic bastard.

In this border town of the empire, the bastard whom we witnessed sold children from this orphanage to human auctions.

Given that this location was near the empire and a forest, it served as an adventurer town.

Those who are looking for money, as well as other items like Oz and stat stones that are dropped by monsters, visit this forest hunting ground at their own risk.

For beginners looking to improve their hunting skills and gain some real-world experience, the forest's outskirts made for an excellent hunting location.

But, as one went deeper, the difficulty of the game increased many folds.

I personally placed several hidden treasures for players and challenged this fool to find them in hopes of setting the tone.

But... after playing for 24 hours nonstop, he discovered not only the treasures that I hid with all my mind but also discovered many system-generated treasures in that forest.

There were still three places we can visit after killing that big bastard, despite the fact that many of those areas weren't truly places we could visit straight away.

The killing wasn't anything new to us and the reason we both can think this much normally about killing was probably because of the {Zero Skill} we both had.

Lucy's skill was the same as mine and this type of skill, the {Zero Skills}, was something that only named characters of my game possessed.

And I don't remember ever creating characters with such powerful and unique skills as us.

But, given that we had been abandoned in a border town and were only commoners, it was likely the case that in my version, they either didn't exist at all or had passed away by the time the main storyline of the story began.

Like many fantasy stories, my main starting plot was also centered around the of this great empire.

So, our primary goal would be to get strong and enroll in the imperial capital's academy.

There was no need to think about useless stuff like our family and our identity and such.

He was my Lucifer, and I was his El. For us, that was sufficient.

[ "Ok. We will take it one step at a time but, you know too, right, he will have us when we turn ten.

Hence, we only have nine years at maximum to train, improve our stats, and learn new skills." ] I said, rolling closer to him.

[ "It would be sufficient and he can't touch us until we are ten, so we won't have to worry about this one." ] He replied and touched his forehead to mine.

[ "Yes. So, mister master swordsman. What secondary class are you selecting?" ] I asked as I closed my eyes.

[ "Since I have such an incredible tutor to teach me, I'm choosing magic this time. And, what about you, miss magic eater?" ] He asked as his breathing calmed down.

[ "Duel swords, as I also have such a skilled master to teach me~." ] I also chuckled and slowed my breathing.

He smiled with his small, baby face and... fall asleep.

[ "Good night, B.R.O.T.H.E.R.~" ] With a small sigh, I also closed my eyes.

"Ok~. We can start tomorrow~!" I shouted cheerfully and looked at Lucy beside me.

His bright blue eyes were glowing with excitement as he looked at his status window.

"Luckey bastard," I grumbled under my breath and he heard me.

"Smart monkey," He also retorted with his own cussing.

We have succeeded in achieving our short-term objectives, which included broadening our knowledge of the world, building up our strength, and—most importantly—'playing' with one another.

It was a slow life, with mornings dedicated to physical training and nights to Mana breathing.

We were born with a (Mana heart) so we had the privilege to unlock the [Workplace] function of the Worldline's system.

Three requirements had to be met, according to , for us to unlock it.

1) A physical body of [Good] grade or above.

2) A mental body of [Better] Or above.

3) Being part of the world system for at least five years.

The ranking in the system for both bodies was: Inappropriate

When we linked to the system, which required a minimum [Good] rating in the mental body, we both had [Excellent] grades for the mental body.

The mental body was the main body in the whole of [Worldline] and we can also call it the spirit body, subconscious, or soul.

The physical body was a secondary or mortal shell that could be trained, destroyed, and re-created easily.

So, to get to that minimum of [Good] rating for the physical body, Lucy trained me like a crazy coach.

I wanted to kill that bastard but, I can't do that right now.

We had a lot of work to do, and painless death for this idiot would be my greatest act of mercy.

So, looking at him at my side, I kissed his cheeks.

"Oi? What was that?!" He was surprised, and it painted a red blush on his face.

"Your punishment!" I shouted and closed both status windows.

Looking at me with anger-filled eyes, he also kissed me, catching me off guard.

"What?!" I shouted with the same red blush on my face.

He coughed and jumped off the wall, saying, "Your punishment for doing good enough."

"We will see how you do in your magic lessons from tomorrow. Just get ready for your punishments~!"

I had an evil grin on my face, and I was confident that he would understand exactly what I meant.

If he was a crazy coach, I can also be the crazy magic teacher. But he won't be able to handle those magic theories as well as complicated stuff.

He knew the consequences if he couldn't do well so he flinched and turned red like a fresh rose.

"No. No, no, no! Sorry!" In his childish voice, he ran towards me and hugged my small self.

"Be a good boy then~." Caressing his ash-white, straight hair, I kissed his head.

"Ok. S.I.S.T.E.R." I knew he had a smirk on his but, I let that one go this time.
