Mirror Magic
I then rest once more before awaking to find the sun rising in a beautiful fashion. I stretch in the sun just relaxing in the rays, after a few minutes I finally begin my day. I leave the small pad I have for resting and move out to the village to view the villagers activities. As I walk down the small dirt roads I find many people going about there day with almost new found hope, almost as if what had happened the other week had never happened at all. Though this is a strange sight I still move on as I try to help the Villagers help fix up the damage done to the village. Though not much was done, the walls were damaged a little and a few buildings were burned down by the few remaining possessed.
I help with the heavy lifting and after a few days the repairs are made with even some upgrades. After doing this the people show more energy, almost as if happy that I am helping them in such a way. Though being worshipped like this can some time be uncomfortable I don't dislike it. I kinda like having a people I can call my own, whether human or beast. I just like having people with me, someone I can protect and help instead of being on my own. Though it feels strange I almost feel like I am changing almost. However strange that might sound. After some time I decide it is time to go and relax once more. After bathing in the sun for a few more hours I finally decide to get something done.
After looking at the timer I only have a little over two weeks before I will be able to learn doubles magic. There is also that strange error magic in the library but the unlock time for it is 666 Years of practice, though strange I leave it at bay. I devote my time to studying the strange magic for the duration of the next two weeks, though I have said this before studying feels refreshing. It almost feels easy to learn these magics, though it does take awhile it makes me feel good knowing I am getting stronger by just learning elements. After the two weeks pass I am surprised by two system updates.
<User has studied a new magic developing the following element: Mirror Magic.>
<User has used time to study and has learned a magical element because of this host will be gaining 1000 EXP.>
<You have leveled up to LV: 12>
Well that is quite nice I say as I look at the two weeks gains. It feels nice being able to gain EXP and Power in this fashion instead of the path I had to take before. The killing path. I open my Status to see the recent gains.

The progress is immense to say the least. I slap the remaining AP points into Strength just barely able to make it to 50 points which is nice. The system quickly notifies me of the update.
<You have managed to get strength stat to 50 points. Your current current Physical Damage modifier has been multiplied by two to a total of 20% increased Physical Damage.>
Though less overwhelming then the wisdom bonus it is still a nice bonus. I then ready myself to practice the new Mirror Magic I have learned. I settle down trying to use it to form a Spear to only learn that the way of casting this Element is strange. Different then the Star Magic but also not like the other Elements. The mana seems to be wanting to copy nearbye mana sources, almost like a mirror so to say. I remember how double used it and think carefully. I carefully create a water wall before trying to copy it with Mirror magic. After some time a copy is made a few meters away from the current wall. Though slightly different then the original I believe this to be because my low level of control of the magic. Double must have a high proficiency to be able to use it the way he uses it now.
After some time I think of something. Could I use mirror magic to counteract a spell that is coming towards me? Or mabey even a physical Attack? I remember seeing double create a copy of himself and remembering how neat it was before he collapsed. Could I make copies of others? Mirror magic seemed to be different from the other types of magic I had seen or used before. It seems to base itself off of other elements so I suppose it wouldn't be that strange for me to be able to mimic others. After some time I decide it is time to try what double did. Though he made it look impossible I am not sure if that is do to his mana pool or control. After some time I manage to try it out but find out that it drains mana much faster than previously thought to. It seemed to almost drain my energy away, almost as if the lack of control was being made up with sheer mana.
After a few minutes a very crude version of me appears in front of me. It mimics my movements but after I dash the spell gives out quickly, almost as if it can't handle the stress of the current spell. Though I really don't have the double form I can still replicate the effects after some time, it feels strange to say the least. Almost as if I am looking at a crudly made mirror that is warped a ton and a hardly recognizable me shows up. Perhaps this is do to the fact that I am not used to the element or perhaps this is do to the fact that this is merely an improvised form but still it isn't that strong yet. Thinking of the way Double did it I find it wierd. He could create two wands but could cast different spells with each wand, or at least different elements I think remembering the sight of the two stars.
I ponder over this before deciding it is time to pick up a new quest before I decide to do anything further. I look at the loading quests in anticipation.

Well looking at the list I decide to go on to the second quest, though the third is a threat I don't want to deal with any more conflict for a while. And if they come then I will kill them anyway, I have a feeling they should be easy if compared to there brother, and maybe they will be more intelligent then there brother as well. Perhaps I could talk something out with them.
