World's Apocalypse Magician 14 Chapter 14: Mission I

Several tens of water, fire and earth elemental espers worked together to stop the major volcanoes from erupting again. Those that controlled the weather and air espers manipulated it so that the eruption of the smaller volcanoes were contained and isolated. Even major tsunamis were quelled only with the help of water and earth espers. The only thing they couldn't stop were the earthquakes, as no one at this point in time, had the power to do so. After all, earthquakes were common especially in the case of continent moving.

Paolo only knew of these changes when he saw his servants looking at him weirdly, and asked him what the matter was.

According to him, everyone started to see the health points people had, indicated by a red bar with numbers on top of it placed above the person.

However, when they saw him, all they could see was a red bar, and instead of numbers, there were only ????/???? above it.

It seems it was only him that had this issue, as even his clones received curious and frightened gazes from other people. Accordingly, the basic amount of HP for a regular person was 1000/1000, with small differences ranging from 10 points of HP to 2000 points of HP difference, depending on their work, lifestyle, etc.

Espers were different. Their base HP ranged from 10000 to a high, upper limit.

This posed a problem for Paolo. He wanted to hide his information from other people, especially from espers.

He asked the system for guidance about the problem.

----------------------

I followed the system's guide and instantly saw that I could hide the information I could display, or even manipulate the information I want to display, but this costs system points to be activated. I didn't mind and selected the new information that others can see.

The completed construction finished 10 days before the apocalyptic events occured. For the past two months past the apocalypse, I was enjoying my day when I detected a spiritual bird landing on my island.

How did I know it was a spiritual bird? Well, it was translucent as well as the complete makeup of the bird was purely light and wind elements. What surprised me is that someone managed to find out that I was here. The bird seemed to carry a message as it even said outside its body, "TOUCH ME".

Of course, I guarded myself well before touching it. Instantly, I could hear a voice sounding in my consciousness.

To Mr. Guillarme,

h.e.l.lo. I am Katya C. Ching, a divination esper. I am sending this in behalf of the UN to help us undertake a specific mission in the Marianas Trench.

I hope you would join the mission.

Regards,

Katya.

PS. I had foreseen that you will be vital for the success of the mission. The UN needs your abilities. Do not worry, no one knows your other abilities. I only know that you have other abilities, but that's all I know, if you are worried about your secrets being leaked out.

_____________________

I am quite annoyed. My powers were only shown to be cloning. Why am I tasked with this mission from the UN?

At the same time, I thought I completed the mission. Why was I still tracked by this Katya girl? I decided to ask the system about this problem.

*ping*

[Investigate, rank SS mission

Investigate the source of the tremors coming from the Marianas trench.

ALERT: The number of deaths must not exceed 1000 Espers.

Rewards: 10000 System points, Level-up Potion (Lvl 30) x5, 5 Karmic Luck.

Additional rewards would be based on the performance during the mission.]

System, can I just send my clones to do this job? I mean, we share the same mind anyways, can't I just have one sent since we would still be able to use the same skills anyways.

How much would it cost, I asked the system. Instead of responding, the system sent me a list of clones.

[Clone summon tier list

Basic Clone = 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55....

Intermediate Clone = 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55....

Advanced Clone = 3, 3, 6, 9, 15, 24, 39, 63, 102....

Premium Clone = 5, 5, 10, 15, 25, 40, 65, 105, 170, 275, 345, 620, 965....

Perfect Clone = 100, 100, 200, 300, 500, 800, 1300, 2100, 3400, 5500, 8900....

Beyond Perfection Clone = 1000, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 8000, 13000, 21000, 34000, 55000, 89000...]

I decided to replace my 3 premium clones with 3 perfect clones instead, hoping to increase the efficiency of the daily tasks done. On average, I gain around 3000 points per day in total, majority of which comes from the quest requesting me to earn money and do good. I was quite rich now in both skill and system points, and I wasn't stingy since the returns were higher than the cost.

I sent off my clone and headed back in into the patio and relaxed.
