Illusion of Integrity

Confusions

After she arrives in the dining room, her round eyes is surprised when she finds out a familiar person sitting in one of the chair. Without a delay, she runs into her older sister,, Fenicia Everlast, "Sis!"

["Wow, what a pretty sister. Is she as pretty as us?"]

"Stop with the remarks."

"Sis, when did u arrived?" Riss's chin leans on her sister's lap while grabbing her shirt.

"I came just now. Did you just woke up? Come here." Fenicia quickly grabs her younger sister and puts her on her laps and rubs Riss's hair.

"Are you not going to school?"

"I will be having holidays. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Last night...." Riss just lowers her head while glancing at her parents.

"Let's talk while having breakfast." Bernidas butts in and takes a fork to eat, giving sign that breakfast can be started. "Last night we have intruders. But it's nothing to worry about."

"By the way Papa, have you ever heard something like status?" Riss asks innocently.

"Huh? Oh, I see you finally did it. Yes, it's special abilities. And because it's special, everyone will have different description on it. So, how is your status?" Bernidas grabs a meat and starts cutting.

"It's said Rainbow Joker Descending."

"Rainbow Joker?" All of them stare at Riss.

"Yes, Rainbow Joker, that's one of my skill, what about it?" Riss just replies innocently.

"Well, all of us here have Eyes of Time as one of the skill, it's a legendary class skill that sees through everything including time itself. We have another skills as well, but most of it are lineage special skill like c***k, Heal, or Dragonize, but only your sister has another special skill. What was that, Fenicia?"

"It's Multicast."

["Hooooo, look what we found here. Ask them about the skill ability."]

"What it does, Sis?"

"It allows me to cast multiple spells as long as my magic power is enough."

"How do you know if your magic power is enough?"

"It needs 15 MP, my MP is 156, so what your skill does?" Fenicia returns the question.

"I can be another person."

["Oh no, here we go."]

Her family just stares at her for a while. it seems that they are trying to understand what Riss means. Bernidas glances at his wife with confused look, and Fenicia just stops her spoon midway.

"Hmmmm, like this [Rainbow Joker Descending]" Riss closes her eyes, she stays silent for a while until she finally opens her eyes, "Look, don't stare at me like that. I know all of you are confused, but let's say, I'm some kind of her alter ego."

"Riss, are you playing with us?" Bernidas replies

"Do I have to?"

["What kind of answer is that."]

"Oh, shut up. Wait, that wasn't mean for you, Dad. I was talking to her. I mean, another me."

"Darling, now that I look at it, she seems different?" Lea is having a doubtful look on her face.

"Well of course, because I'm a different person."

"Uhhh, so, what can you do?" Bernidas is getting more confused.

"I don't know yet. Ah, can I have some meat?"

"Oh, sure, here you go."

"Thanks, anyway, I don't know who I am, what can I do, or whatever. All that I know is I suddenly woke up in her body this morning."

"You sound like.... a guy?" Fenicia asks a question.

"Nonono, I'm a girl, I think?"

"What do you think of Bernidas?" Lea has a serious look on her, like a mantis preying on another bug.

"It seems like I do think of him as my father. By the way, can I ask you guys questions?"

"Sure." All of them reply at the same time.

"Hmmmmm, later can you show me some of your skills?"

"Sure, after this breakfast then."

***** In the training ground, after the breakfast *****

"Okay, so, you want to see my skill? How should I call you, tho?" Bernidas asks while warming up.

"You are Dad. What are you talking about?"

"So that's how it is, let's say, you are just like another daughter of mine I guess."

"I have 2 younger sisters now?" Fenicia tilts her head.

["Whaaaaaaaat? Papa and sis seems so chill about it."]

"Uh huh, Dad. Whatever suits you. So what skill are you trying to show me?"

"Let me show you our lineage skill, its called c***k. Now, watch this [c***k]" Suddenly Bernidas blinks a few meters in front of him and punches the air with a loud bang. "How is it?"

["Woooooow, Papa suddenly gone and what was that!?"]

"Shut up, just watch. You are distracting."

["Okay..."]

"I think, hmmm, I can copy it."

"Really?" Bernidas and Fenicia have a surprised face.

"Yes, it has slots, and what is this?"

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

["Wow you copied it. What are these slots? Hmmm, can we do it?"]

"..."

"I think I copied it. Now, can you watch me doing it and try to find out something about it, Dad?"

"Uh, sure."

"[c***k] - {You rolled 6}" Riss blinks forward several meters, but her body is stuck like being nailed to the ground, "Wait, the skill doesn't end?"

"Hit it."

"Like this?" A loud bang explodes when Riss punches the air. "Oh hooooo, thanks, Dad. Let's try it differently now." Riss puts the c***k skill into the Royal slot but she is surprised when she finds out that the MP cost doubles.

"What a cheat skill. I'm jealous now." Fenicia seems annoyed by it.

["We did it! Wow! But what was that rolled 6?"]

"Some kind of random power meter, but I'm gonna ignore you for now."

["You are so mean."]

"What is it, Riss?"

"Dad, I think I somehow can upgrade it?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to show off?"

"No, I'm not, let me try again then [c***k] - {You rolled King}" Riss lets out a sonic boom when she blinks, a shockwave erupts in the starting and end point of her blink, and with a loud bang Riss punches the air like cracking the space itself. "Oh my goodness, that was.... wow, tiring as hell."

["What was that King?"]

"I don't know, another random roll I guess."]

"No way!" Fenicia stands up with her eyes unblinking.

"Riss, I don't think that you can do it like that. First, it will tires you out, second, I don't think that your body can survive the impact."

"I guess so, Dad. My hands gonna break."

["Noooooo, don't break my hands *sob"]

"Seriously? No one is happy breaking their own hands."

["Okay..."]

"Now that you copied it, how about you copy this one? This is a Unique level skill, and only a Xagan can do this. Let me show you [Dragonize]." Bernidas suddenly transforms, armor-like scales are covering hisr body, his face is covered with something akin to a helmet. A burst of energy is released when the transformation finishes. "Okay, now you try it."

"Alright, Dad." Riss puts the skill into the Normal slot and activates the skill. "Eh, I can't? Oh, it needs so much MP, Dad. I don't have the MP."

["You know.. what you did.. that was.."]

"Holy... did you really copied it?" Bernidas has a doubt.

"Impossible." Fenicia remarks.

"Yes, Dad. Why, Sis?"

"Really? You need an awakening before being able to do it. And you haven't even been awakened."

"Is an awakening something important?"

["You need at least to be 17 years old before an awakening! People said it gives so much power!"

"It is, it dictates your next skills. Now that you can do it without an awakening, I don't know how to teach you or anything. You need to depend on yourself. You are really frightening, Riss."

"But, Dad. I think there is something that is even more broken than those skill-copying ability itself."

"What do you mean, Fenicia?"

"If that Joker thing really does what she explained, it means that Riss is basically having 2 brains. And having 2 brains is game-changing."

"Can you explain?"

"The most frightening part is, when one of her ego is fighting, the other ego can analyze the situation and devise a proper plan."

"Oh my goodness....you are right about that."

"Eh, you guys are right about that." Riss puts her right hand on her chin. "I think it's time to check Black's skills as well."

"Black?" Bernidas and Fenicia are confused.

"That's how I decided to call my other self [Black Joker Calling]"
