Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 4: 4 Skill check

[El's POV: ]

'Activate innate skill: Mind Link. Link target ID: Lucifer. Grant master access permission.'

A small blue light came out of me and entered the small baby that was most probably my twin brother.

'The world was never kind to us in matters regarding happiness or love.'

He never had a family, and I never liked the inhuman that called me their child.

We were alone, forsaken by that mess of a world when we found each other.

I was running away in fear, and he was drowning in his insurmountable grief.

Those times were strange, and we had nothing, but when we became ONE, we took everything we wanted from that shitty world.

We created a life for ourselves and sometimes helped those like us.

That world was stupid on many bases and I still don't understand how they couldn't solve those trivial things they called 'global problems'.

Well, we had nothing to do with that.

He was my guinea pig, and I was his master.

Our life was cool, but even while spending every waking moment with each other was a pleasant enough life, there was still something missing.

However, when he suggested that ridiculous stuff called 'marriage', I felt like I possessed everything in the world.

It was the moment of purest bliss for us, but then... that son of a bitch world plunged us into my masterpiece-like failure.

I remember everything, but that particular day stands out among those never-fading images.

It was an unknown power cut of only three seconds, and there were no problems with any AI or system back then.

Weirdly, the power outage only affected a 100-meter radius around our home, making it impossible to determine whether it was even a real power cut or not.

I had checked for any malfunction or bug or hack attempts, but there was no way someone could ever breach my .

The data that I lost that day was only this game world and nothing else.

Again, this was the work of that jealous world.

But... our death didn't go in vain.

Not even that world had the power to separate us.

But that bitch used his brain a bit and made us twins.

'Well, I know he didn't know about our second code.'

Contrary to what they would believe, we weren't just ordinary people, we had a great deal of different ideas.

And now that we were connected, there was almost nothing that can stop us.

[Link establishment compile.]

The female AI-like voice, which was an essential component of the highly developed artificial intelligence system I called "Worldline," reverberated in my head.

I had made this world to be a total fantasy world that was controlled by the 'voice of the world', a planetary control system that was part of the 'Worldline' that linked many such planets, worlds, and realities.

Writing about history and how the world works were simple back when I was creating it, but in actuality, this is far better than I anticipated.

This is a world that, if seen illogically, is governed by a vast network of 'wills' that resembles artificial intelligence and are capable of thinking like regular people.

This world's foundation was a fantasy novel-like narrative in which the player had an unspecified role and the main characters of the story were NPC and not players.

The [Quest] that players were given was focused on scenarios in which the MCs wouldn't die, and whatever players chose to do in this world ultimately determined how the storyline developed.

But, that quest system wasn't part of this real world as there were no players.

So, for us who have become living, breathing, carbon-based life forms, there won't be anything like a quest.

The story will be affected by anything we did, and the main characters will veer off the original plotline.

'Haa... end this boring stuff already.'

According to what I wrote, there were a total of 6 main characters and a large number of supporting characters in this story game.

Nevertheless, none of them mattered now that we were here.

'Main ML that is already overpowered because he will be a (Returnee) from a martial arts world. A fun character and one similar to Lucy and me in some aspects.

Secondary ML who was first in line to this empire's throne was the crown prince. A bad boy that has a similar obsession with power as the main ML.

Third ML wasn't a human but an immortal vampire. A cutey that looks normal and friendly like a sheep but is a wolf who, well, had enthralled many pure maidens.

Main FL is the third princess of the great Elf Kingdom that was subordinate to this empire. A smart, strong elf with a calm and collected personality and big-big chi-chis~!

Second FL… she was a reincarnation like us but, she was a half fairy that was born in the great forest of the west of the empire. She died young and even here, she was raised by other good fairies, so she was some of the purest characters of the story, and the hottest.

Third FL was most powerful in FLs and was a commoner like us with a system glitch that helped her grow at a crazy speed. She was also a smart one.

They all are technically Lucy and mine half children, so it would be fun to meet them if they are actually here~.'

When I wrote the plotline for the game, I wanted to add everything that was unique, cliché, and generic, with a little bit of twist in everything.

I liked reading, and fantasy was my favorite genre.

'Any world would be better than that shitty place.' I scoffed it all and looked at him.

[ "Now, we can talk freely~!" ] I exclaimed with joy now that the connection was completed.

Even though I was conversing in my adorable baby language, it sounded as natural as speaking since we can feel each other's thoughts.

[ "El? Oh? I can speak! Awesome!" ] He shouted and caressed me with his tiny baby hands.

[ "Oh? Hello little baby~" ] I smiled at him and then... suddenly turned serious. We can play however we wanted after finishing the task at hand.

[ "Let's check what our other skills are and then we can think about how we do things in the future." ]

He also acknowledged the seriousness of the circumstance by nodding his large baby head.

Fantasy was undoubtedly present in what I wrote, but there was also a darker aspect to this world.

(Pure evil)

Those that had their (Oz) value in the negative.

(Oz) was something that, like Mana, was a fundamental component of this world.

We can refer to it as a unique system's money or as a being's karma who lives in these worlds of the Worldline.

Via this non-absolute value, the numbers determined who was good and who was wicked.

As long as you had the correct amount and seller, you could buy practically anything using (Oz) as the system's fundamental currency.

One had to slay monsters or individuals with negative Oz values, do interesting deeds so the ones overlooking you could present you some, or devise novel ways to earn it from other individuals or Worldline in order to acquire these monies.

Negative Oz values attracted (Demons) that were part of

faction, to be their apostil and those with demonic stigma received powerful skills, artifacts, and stats as gifts.

Just like them, there were (Angels) that served the Worldline and were part of the faction of the system.

Although I did make all these for my own amusement, I knew we would have much more to accomplish given that this world is very similar to that of our game.

At the end of the day, this was the world I knew a fucking lot about.

I created this amazing world while he lived it.

I know the functioning and mechanics and he knows about the things that the AI brain created in this world.

Hence, in this world, we had a lot to gain.

And... as the ONE that despised the world itself, we were going to use all of those things to create a place of our own.

Although we would have the same plan and goals as in our former life, we would be capable of accomplishing much more in this one.

'Maybe... we can do the world domination thing~!'

Although it wasn't just a vain thought, that would be... too exhausting.

I dismissed these unimportant ideas and concentrated on the blue status window in front of me.

The white eye was special, [Grade-3] and very few people possess the ability to read other people's status windows.

'Well, nothing too amazing...' moving my window, I opened his skills.

"Damn Lucy, you have some exceptional skills there~!" I exclaimed with a grin on my pretty face.

He had fewer skills than me, but two of his skills were [Grade-3].

I was smirking at my baby brother but, just then, I felt a weird sensation throughout my body.
