APOCALYPSE ONLINE: I Became Over Powered Thanks To My Clones

Alice received an invitation from her friend Vanessa to join a new open-world VRMMO. Despite Alice's inclination to laziness, Vanessa's insistence compelled her to participate. "Hey, there's a skill that lets me create clones of myself," Alice mused, her interest piqued. "I absolutely need to get my hands on this skill." With a mischievous laugh, she contemplated the possibilities of having free helpers through her clones. *[Ding! Your Clone has practiced [Sword Arts] while you were offline. You've gained 1,231 experience points in your [Sword Arts] skill.]* *[Ding! Your Clone has been busy chopping down 2,567 trees and gathering 4,152 pieces of wood during your offline time. Your [Wood Chopping] skill has gained 5,321 experience points.]* *[Ding! Your Clone has successfully defeated 100 level 1 Slimes, granting you 100 EXP.]* While other players grappled with the challenges of surviving in the game's apocalyptic setting, Alice's clones industriously farmed resources in the nearby vicinity. "Hmm... What an intriguing game!" she thought, recognizing the unique advantage her clones provided. ==========================

Volume 1 Chapter 1: Account Creation

[An: In the story the POV will sometime change from 3rd to 1st person view]

Alice plugged in the VR headset hardware where the game CD would be placed. She also connected it to the internet cable for a much faster and stable internet connection compared to the sometimes unstable wireless connection. Vanessa had advised her to do this to avoid interruptions while playing online games.

After setting up everything, Alice picked up the box, then took out the CD case. As she opened the CD case, a letter fell out slowly, catching her attention. She picked it up and read the words written on it.

Vanessa's letter read: 'I have a surprise for you. I participated in the beta version of this game, so the admins have rewarded me a premium character creation as a reward, offering starting perks that I won't reveal just yet.

P.S.: Don't worry about me; the admins allowed us to keep our game characters, but our levels and skills were reset. However, since I already know how to obtain those skills from my experience playing in the beta version, so I won't be needing it, I'll pass it on to you. The codes are at the bottom of the box. See you tomorrow and tell me all about your experience of the game!'

After finishing reading Vanessa's note, Alice sighed, understanding that Vanessa was an experienced gamer. Vanessa had mentioned her participation in the beta version of the game but couldn't disclose many details due to signing a confidential agreement preventing her from sharing any information about the game's progress with others.

Turning the box upside down, a note fell out, displaying a bunch of random numbers. Alice picked it up. She removed the CD from the case and placed it in the hardware, ensuring everything was in order.

[Alice POV]

Lying on the bed, I put on the VR unit—a device that covers the eyes and ears, resembling a visor. Specifically designed for sleeping on one's back, it left the front lower part of my face clear, allowing my nose and mouth to remain free for breathing.

Before delving into the game, I recognized the necessity of creating an account. As I started the registration process, I noticed a section where I could input the character creation code in the card.

Fortunately, the account creation process isn't entirely immersive, so I can easily access the code for character creation in the card.

I started inputting the codes and then clicked on the confirmation button at the bottom.

Upon pressing the 'Enter' button, a small fairy suddenly materialized, accompanied by a computer-generated voice.

[Welcome. I am a Support AI. From here, we shall commence with the VR device's initial settings. Please input the necessary data.]

I followed the AI's instructions and responded to the questions that appeared with a floating keyboard.

[Bodily information is merely a reference. A scan will be performed which bases on this data.]

Height was 140 cm, and I think my weight was around 52kg? I haven't measured myself lately… My bust is...waist...hips… and done.

[A precaution before the scan: Please refrain from using any pillows, remove any coverings, and relax with your body facing upwards. Female players are advised to wear clothing that accentuates body lines or, if possible, to undergo the scan in their underwear. Will you proceed with the scan?]

I took off the VR headset and then repositioned the pillow into the corner, moved the bedding aside, and removed my clothes. With the spring weather, the temperature of my room was comfortable. After double-checking everything, I lay on my back and put on the VR headset. Perfect, I was now ready to start.

[Will you proceed with the scan?]

[Yes]

[No]

I selected the '[Yes]' option using the thought controls.

[Commencing scan… Please maintain your current posture.]

I waited quietly as the AI informed me of the progress: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%. Once the progress reached completion, the AI began to speak.

[…Scan complete. Height: 140 cm Weight: 55 kg. Further data: Bust size――]

Disregarding the AI's polite narration of my bodily data, I accepted the results. Next, a hologram materialized before me. It depicted a figure that was undeniably me, albeit with different colors. I couldn't help but acknowledge the scan's extreme precision.

The hologram displayed a 3D model of a girl with the appearance of a petite figure, fair skin, waist-length straight black hair, and beautiful round black eyes.

[This is your basic data. This data will be used for various things. In games, it will be read in various character creation editors, and modified differently for each game, often allowing you to further tweak it. It is possible to update this data through the options menu.]

It seems the initial setup is complete.

[The initial setup has been completed.]

Alright, that's finished. Now, let's proceed to install the game, as the CD only allows downloading the game rather than playing it right away.

Next step… game installation.

[Commencing installation. Estimated time until completion: approximately one hour. You can remove your VR device without any issues. You're free to engage in other activities during this time. However, note that the installation will proceed in the background, although the downloading speed might decrease in some cases. Please be aware of this.]

Since it's nearly lunchtime, I'll take it off for now. Besides, there isn't anything specific I need it for at the moment.

After having lunch with my mother and doing the dishes, I attempted to gather information about the game online. Unfortunately, there wasn't much available, which didn't offer much help. Before I realized it, an hour had passed. Returning to my room, I checked the VR device, only to find that the installation was complete.
