The Hand of God System
Chapter 5: Copying
The next morning, Ryuuji woke up from the floor of his house.
"Hoammm....uh? I fell asleep, right?" Ryuuji wiped off the eye dirt that was in his eyes.
Ryuuji checked around him, and he saw a lot of home furniture that had been arranged neatly in such a way as ordinary houses in general.
"Oh yes, I fell asleep because of fatigue yesterday." Ryuuji stood up and looked around him once more.
Because Ryuuji was so excited about arranging the furniture he made yesterday, he became unaware that he was exhausted and ended up sleeping on the floor of his own house.
Seeing that he had arranged everything according to the picture given by Axel, Ryuuji slowly walked towards the door of his house to get out to breathe fresh air.
*cklek
Ryuuji felt a small gust of wind tickle his cheek.
"Religently..." Said Ryuuji while enjoying the cool breeze in the morning.
The sound of birds chirping was clearly heard in Ryuuji's ears.
And various other animal sounds that he heard because of his house in the forest.
The house where Ryuuji is located, is in a forest that is not located within the territorial zone of any kingdom.
Which means it is a gray zone, which is an area without rulers and rules.
*Gyuu~~~{Voice stomach rumbling}
Hearing that her stomach had rung, Ryuuji decided to make some food.
"Ups, it looks like it's time to eat, creation."
A round loaf of bread appeared on Ryuuji's right hand.
Ryuuji immediately ate the bread voraciously.
But Ryuuji felt that his stomach was not fulfilled with 1 loaf of bread.
"It seems like less, I have to eat even more, creation" Ryuuji made 1 more bread in his right hand and directly ate it.
After eating 2 pieces of bread, Ryuuji who felt that his throat was dry instantly made a glass of water for him to drink now.
"Creation." A glass filled with water appeared in Ryuuji's right hand
Ryuuji drank it quickly.
*Glug glug glug
"Pwahh, fresh.." Ryuuji wiped the leftover food and water stuck to his lips.
After that, Ryuuji looked at his empty glass and thought that he who was now could be said to be very lucky for having the Hand of God.
That's because he almost never felt a full stomach in the morning when he woke up.
Usually he had to go straight to the city and become a laborer there to make money.
But he who now does not need to do that, only needs to create from his hands alone and he can eat and drink as much as he wants.
He even has his own home now.
"God's hand huh.I wonder what else this hand can do." Ryuuji looked towards his 2 arms.
After taking a quick look at it, Ryuuji directly called out to Axel which was the name given by him to his God Hand System.
"Axel, are you there?"
[I've always been in you master, does anything need?]
Ryuuji was intending to learn the other uses of his current Hand of God.
"Can you teach me about the things I can do with this hand again? like the creation you taught me yesterday?"
[Of course, there are still many things that the master has not learned, what if copying?]
"Copying? does that mean copying something?"
[Yes, copying is one of the most powerful abilities the Hand of God has, the Master can copy anything the master wants to copy and obtain it for free]
"Eh? does that mean I can copy my house?"
[Of course, but just like creation, it requires a lot of stamina]
"That's it, so that means I can't just copy, right?"
[Yes, the longer the copying process, the more mana is needed. However instant copying like magic copying would not take up any mana at all]
"Eh? copying magic?"
[Yes, great, right? the master only needs to touch the magic that the opponent shoots with the Master's hand to copy it and throw it back at the opponent]
"Without using where at all?"
[Yes, without using any mana at all]
"Woah, I didn't expect a magic to be used without using any mana at all."
[That is the use of copying, by copying only, the Master can get the exact same result as the copied object]
[Simply, the Hand of God is not that easy to hurt, if the attack does not inflict too much damage, then the master only needs to accept it as if he feels nothing]
"Eh? has he? great too.." Ryuuji picked up a piece of wood located not far below.
He took it to test the copying ability he had heard from Axel.
"I've already taken a sample to try out that copying ability, now how do I activate it?"
[First of all, the master must extend both hands of the master simultaneously, then use the right hand to copy it, and the left hand to obtain the copying, then say Copy after it is ready]
"That's it, all right, copy." Ryuuji's two hands emitted a blue light from his nerves.
[Acquired object copying data]
[10%....50%]
[Copying data successfully obtained]
[Starting copying]
[10%...70%]
[Copying successfully done]
A transparent hologram appeared in Ryuuji's hand following the wooden rod he held in his left hand.
Then slowly the transparent hologram took out a color and structure corresponding to the wooden rod held in Ryuuji's right hand.
As a result Ryuuji was holding 2 identical logs in both hands now.
"Great! it's the same as the original!" Ryuuji compared the wooden rod held in his right hand to his left.
[What if it was possible to try copying something a little big? like a tree]
"Of course, I'll try." Ryuuji placed the two logs he held on the ground and walked towards one of the trees not far from him.
He placed his right hand on the trunk of the tree and placed his left hand on the empty ground.
"Copy." Both of Ryuuji's hand nerves gave off a blue-colored glow
[Acquired object copying data]
[10%...20%...50%]
[Copying data successfully obtained]
[Starting copying]
[10%...30%...60%...100%]
[Copying successfully done]
After 10 seconds, a transparent hologram appeared on the ground according to Ryuuji's left palm, which was shaped exactly the same as the tree that Ryuuji's right hand touched.
Then slowly the transparent hologram took out a color following the copied tree.
Not long after, the hologram had already completely transformed into the exact same tree that was held in Ryuuji's right hand.
Ryuuji was amazed to see how the tree formed exactly the same as the one he touched.
There was however a slight difference about the span of time it took to copy it compared to when he had copied the log earlier.
"Same exactly as copied, but a little time-consuming huh?"
[That's right, the larger and more complicated the copied object will be, the longer the copying process will take]
"So yeah, that's why copying a house might take a little while."
[Yes, it will also eat up a fair amount of stamina]
"You're right."
[Then what if we try copying magic now?]
"Eh? now it? but does no one have to throw magic first to copy?"
[Just calm down, I've already found something that might make the master able to do it]
"Huh?" Ryuuji was puzzled by what Axel said.
But suddenly a blue screen appeared in front of Ryuuji's face and revealed a map around the forest.
It was just like the map Axel had shown before to direct Ryuuji into this forest, but this time the blue dot leads to a small road not far from where Ryuuji is now.
[Master just needs to go in the direction I set out and wait a little while there]
"Can I try that?"
[Of course]
"Well, I'll be there now." Ryuuji said with a hint of worry on his face.
Ryuuji started walking in the direction Axel determined following the map shown to him.
