The white-haired old man slips through the liquid, raised his hand, and touched the glass.
A moment later, cracks started to appear all over the glass cube and were soon destroyed with a bang.
Then, the naked white-haired old man fell out of the broken womb and stood up with staggering footsteps.
As he was about to fall, Charles used [Sleight of Mystery Hand] and helped him stand up.
"How did you feel now?" He couldn't help but ask.
Meanwhile, the white-haired old man touched his body skin and nodded.
"Alive."
A satisfied smile crept on his face.
On the other hand, Charles heaved a deep sigh and spoke.
"This is just a temporary measure. If you want to use fake reincarnation on a clone, you need the approval of the 'Will' of the world. Otherwise, this clone will be considered as an Abomination."
Meanwhile, the white-haired old man also nodded his head and let out a deep sigh.
'Integrating one's true soul into an artificial body is not an easy matter.'
Muttering inwardly, he suddenly raised his hands, crossed his arms together, and smiled.
"Call me grandpa from now on."
The corner of Charles's lips twitched as he heard those words.
"Oswald." He corrected him.
He raised his hand, touched his face, and began to change his appearance.
In a few seconds, the wrinkled old man suddenly turned into a young man with deep-blue hair. His facial skin appeared a little rougher while showing a little maturity on his face and his eye color also changed into a deep-blue one.
It contains the power of wisdom!
Then, Charles took out a space ring and gave it to Oswald.
At that moment, Oswald took the ring and spoke.
"Be careful."
Meanwhile, Charles nodded his head before enveloping his body in a crimson flame and disappeared from there!
Only the Holem's Crown stood in the underground hall and let out another deep sigh.
Then, 'Oswald' took out a white shirt, black pants, and a frock coat from the space ring and wore it slowly.
After that, he moved towards the staircase on the left side and left the underground basement.
Two minutes later, he entered the reception hall from the right-side corridor while holding a black cane and soon saw two servants in the reception hall.
"Bring me something delicious." He ordered in a cold tone as he went near the sofa, sat on it, and crossed his legs together.
...
Vale Street, Slum District, City of Iron.
In a small gloomy hut, a crimson humanoid flame appeared suddenly and soon formed into an appearance of a blue-haired young man.
Charles glanced at the surrounding mud wall and soon released a bit of his wisdom power to scan the surrounding areas.
After noticing that no one was nearby, he breathed out a sigh of relief and opened the game interface.

'I have more than one million Exp… With this, I will have an easier time constructing spell models after ranking up.' A smile appeared on his face.
During the past three years, he almost caused genocide in Savage Forest and caused numerous changes. Although he only laid his eyes on Rank-3 creatures, it still affected the whole forest.
Shaking his head, he glanced at all the skills and spells and zeroed his gaze on the elemental affinity row.
'My Darkness affinity is only Average. Although I currently don't need the affinity help, I will definitely need it in the future. Shape-shifting needs darkness affinity… Foresight skill needs 'Time' affinity… Then, there is the Sleight of Mystery Hand… Maybe, it's a 'Trickery' affinity? Yeah, I also heard that there is some deep connection with divinities and affinities….'
'Finally, there is the [Wisdom Sight] skill… 'Wisdom' affinity… Although I can improve these skills with the help of the system now, I will definitely face hardship in the future.' He furrowed his brows and then shifted his attention towards the Quest Icon.

…
'Love and Care Emotions, huh… It truly is a troublesome task.'
Dismissing the game interface, he took a lamp from his space ring, lightened it, and placed it on the ground.
After that, he sat on the stone slab, placed at the center of the hut, and closed his eyes.
A moment later, his consciousness traveled through the dark space and entered his Inner World.
Soon, he appeared in front of a lava pool and glanced at the 'clone Charles', who was currently standing beside him.
"You can go and take over my body. As long as you are not forced into a life and death situation, I won't help you." He paused for a moment and then warned.
"Be careful of Rank-4 Mages and Mystics. You are still not strong enough to face them."
Meanwhile, his second consciousness nodded his head and disappeared from there.
On the other hand, Charles stood with an emotionless look on his face and muttered inwardly.
'First mission is to search for Ivy... If I didn't find out the origin of this gem, I won't be able to stay calm.' He glanced at the greenish-blue gem, appeared on the reddish rocky shore, and frowned.
'Although my second consciousness is strong in my main body and could use all my skills, it is still inexperienced... Let's see if it can really surpass my expectation.'
...
Meanwhile, Charles opened his deep-blue eyes and stood up from the stone slab.
He then took out a hooded-black clock from his space ring and wore it.
After that, he took out a silver pocket watch, flipped open the outer panel, and looked at the time.
"9.30. There are still 1.30 hours remaining. Should I go and take a walk around the Slum District?" His eyes shone in excitement.
He didn't waste for a moment before he shifted his gaze towards the wooden door, went near it, and unlocked it before walking out.
