The Most Disappointing "Rare" Skill

Let's be honest—the skill the goddesses carelessly tossed at me, Overlimit, is exactly as underwhelming as I expected.

[Overlimit] (Lv.261):

Allows stats/skills to exceed normal limits by 261 levels + 261% (total: 681 levels).

Wait. My curses already do this. Ugh. What a scam.

But the other skills? Absolutely broken.

[Doppelganger] (Lv.271): The Art of Cheating Reality

Creates clones with stats/scaling based on skill level. Higher levels = more clones, less MP cost. Normally, this skill is garbage because:

Lv.10 (Max for normies): 50% stats, 10 clones, 9 MP/create + 8 MP/min upkeep.

Requires 45 Skill Points to max.

Useless without massive MP/stats.

But at Lv.271?

1,355% stats (13.5x stronger than original).

271 clones.

0 MP cost to create/maintain.

"So… I can spawn 13 clones at full power for free? HAHAHA—TAKE THAT, BALANCE!"

Testing the System

Before exploiting this, I added two insurance policies:

[Curse #5]:

If someone positively thinks/speaks about me outside my vision: -4 HP/5 mins.

[Blessing #5]:

If someone negatively thinks/speaks about me outside my vision: +2 HP/10 mins.

"Now, let's test [Doppelganger] Lv.1!"

Poof!

A 5%-stat clone appeared… then vanished in 6 seconds (MP: 10/10 → 0).

HP -4! → "Aww, someone's worried about me~"

HP +2! → "And someone's trash-talking! Perfect."

I can't go all-out yet. Time to farm slimes and play the "weak kid" act.

Slime Grinding (The Illusion)

Pink Slime LV1 defeated!

[Public Log]:

[Geng gained EXP 1 | SkillXP 2]

[Geng LV UP: LV1 → LV2]

[Geng Skill UP: SLV1 → SLV2]

[Hidden Log]:

[Geng gained EXP 2 trillion | SkillXP 2 trillion]

[CurseHBless: Stats masked to fake growth.]

HP -4 again. → "Melt, are you cheering for my 'level up'? Cute."

The Grand Plan

With zero-MP clones, exponential growth, and hidden stats, I'll:

Pretend to be a noob.

Farm during blessed hours (8 AM–4 PM).

Let enemies underestimate me (thanks, curses!).

"Soon, I'll be the strongest—while everyone thinks I'm trash."
