Chapter 2 - First time
The green field seems endless, and the only things that fill my visions that aren't green are people and the Tower. The tower was high. I tried to find the top by looking up, but even I couldn't see it. The tower seemingly goes on forever without an end. I was surprised when I reached the bottom of the tower by walking with other people only to see nothing—no path, no guide, no entrance, nothing that could help us figure out the situation. Until somebody touched the tower and disappeared, causing confusion to everyone present.
I contemplated for a while and finally moved my two bodies to touch the tower, and we were teleported into a space that looked like a forest. I could see the smoke rising from somewhere within the forest. We ventured toward the smoke while enjoying the vibrant wildlife, including forest creatures like frogs, random bugs, and rats. Truly the place of all times.
While we walked toward the smoke, we heard someone screaming for help coming from the direction of the smoke, so I rushed my body toward the village to see what was wrong.
Things went very wrong alright, the guy who got here first was being surrounded by 10 small greenskin humanoids holding stone tools and weapons. The man's legs were injured, and there was an arrow pierced through his left knee. We all know what these greenskins are, though the sight is now more realistic. I could see their staggering uglyness in 4K HDR, and I was so disgusted by their uglyness that I didn't even want to come close. That guy is on his own now. That's what I thought until a blue screen popped up in both of my visions.

'Well shit, change of plan, let see what I can do.' We looked around, trying to find something that could be useful, and we picked up a few stones to try and throw at the goblins.
With all my knowledge from watching random shit on the internet, I knew the best throwing technique, I threw it at the heads of those goblins, and it hit and took two goblins out of commission, which also alerted the other goblins of our location. I was only used to moving both my bodies with simple movements and a bit of running, fighting was out of the question, so I threw another rock by using Eliza, and it managed to hit one on the head, rendering it out of commission. Out of the 14 goblins that were surrounding the poor guy, 3 were out of commission, 8 of them chased us down, leaving 3 to handle the guy.
While running from the goblins, I suddenly had a stroke of genius. My authority doesn't state the limits of what I can do, so I thought of an easy way out.
"Let see." Holding a stone in my hand, I looked back.
[Teleport]
I used teleport on the stone to put it inside the brain of the goblin that was chasing me. I felt a bit of resistance, but it worked. The goblin I targeted dropped dead the instant the stone disppeared from my hand and entered its brain, but I felt weaker and more lethargic, even though I'm running, I could feel the energy lost as the feeling was instant. I was questioning why I felt weaker when I used it, and I remembered the status screen.

"Wait, what is vigor again?" I asked myself, trying to remember the thing I read a few days ago, and then came the sudden realization that shook me so much that I answered with Eliza.
"Vigor is physical strength, something akin to stamin-" Eliza tripped on a tree root, and we both fell to the ground. Within seconds, the goblins caught up to us. Knowing there's no other choice, I have to use it.
[Time Stop]
The moment I used the skill, everything surrounding me stopped, including myself. I could move as Eliza, but Leonard could only see within the time stop. I slapped a goblin, punched one, and kicked one, and after 5 seconds I felt weaker and weaker. The longer I stayed in stopped time, the weaker I felt, but I knew if I stopped the skill now, I would die by the goblins. When I hit the last goblin that was chasing us, time stop end, their blood splattered everywhere, and everything turned black.
I woke up from my slumber and found myself in a pure white room with a pure white door, seeing from two different perspectives.
Well shit, it seems like this is the furthest regression can go back."
I walked through the door and found ourselves looking at the tower, with the surrounding people confused about what had happened for them to be here.
