Making sure my clone was well hidden, I set out hunting. Due to my current location being close to the inner layer most of the demon beasts I saw where at the third rank. Setting my experience shared to 75% for my clone i started hunting. With my trusty black daggers I efficiently slaughtered them by either slashing their throats, stabbing their head through the eyes or the plain old thousand slash. After almost an hour I returned to my clone.
Checking on it I said "How much longer?" in anticipation to which the system told me three minutes left. During that time I asked "Do i have to always control it or does it move on it's own."
[You don't need to control it. Although it has a soul giving it a personality, it's soul is gotten from you making it absolutely loyal to you and also has your personality.]
"Oh." I said thinking on how to best maximize my remaining time. As I was thinking my clone woke up grabbing my attention. Looking at it I got the feeling of looking at myself. asking the system she replied.
[You are unconsciously using the connection between you to look through his eyes]
"So this is how it works" I said
"Afternoon Boss." my clone said to me. Surprised I said "You can talk." Hearing him his clone said "What did you expect, a puppet?"
"Ok smart-ass you've proved your point. Now let's give you a name, how does Derek sound?" I asked.
"Do i have a choice?" my clone asked, to which I replied "Nope." resigning to fate he accepted"Alright."
"Good. System show me Derek's stats."

"Wow he really has all my skill." I said happily. Then I noticed something "Why are his skill level lower than mine?"
[So as to match his current rank.] The system replied briefly. Turning to Derek I asked "You know what we are preparing for right?" to which Derek nodded. "Good cause we have a long hunt ahead of us. I will set xp sharing to be 10-90 for you to quickly catch up to me then it will be 60-40 after. Is that clear.
"Yes." said Derek to which Mark turned around and said. "Good, lets begin" And so began our hunt for xp in preparation for the battle in four weeks.
