DC: The Gamer

[1st POV]

When I woke up in the morning, I noticed a change in my relationship status with both ladies I had saved:

Kate Kane: 400 (interest)

Hanna Michaelson/???( 600 (interest)

It seems that Ms. Kane's friend filled her in on the events and probably reminded her about her behavior.

Apparently, she and Batman are cousins.

After that, there were no major incidents or encounters on the streets, except, of course, for my frequent visits to Arkham.

I now had a permanent pass and went there almost as if it were my second home.

Every week, I saw Joker two or three times.

We'd play cards again, he'd lose again, and I'd keep leveling up my "Cheater" skill on him.

In these conversations, I've been gradually nudging Joker toward the idea that he should settle down and find a new girlfriend or "someone else," since I've long had my own thoughts about Harley.

Frankly, she's better off away from him, and I even told him about Harley and Pam living at my place.

Strangely, he seems to be taking my suggestions somewhat seriously, but it's hard for me to be certain of anything with him.

Aside from Joker, Killer Croc and Mad Hatter are the only truly serious cases in Arkham at the moment.

I haven't interacted with Killer Croc yet, but Mad Hatter is quite an interesting man.

I found a way to connect with him through his obsession with hats, and now we're "friends." All it took was showing him my appreciation for headgear and sharing some tea.

I'm not sure why Hugo Strange never thought of that.

In my first month working there, I've also made progress with three other minor cases, reducing their aggression and helping them mentally.

The management seemed pleased with my results and even awarded me a certificate of appreciation.

Over the past month, these aren't my only accomplishments.

By the end of the month, I'd managed to maintain up to thirty clones, using them to spar in different styles, train with swords, improve control, and work on new techniques.

As a result, I've mastered several water and earth jutsu.

The system also provided some quests with full instructions to master certain techniques that I successfully completed.

Additionally, my chakra skills have significantly leveled up across different areas:

I haven't yet experimented with adding elemental transformation to the Rasengan, and I've only focused on leveling up the basic technique.

I tried a few times, but with limited experience, the technique kept breaking apart and even injured me in the process.

I was hoping to acquire the Flying Thunder God technique, but I have other plans for my one hundred twenty-five points right now.

The technique I acquired is called Fission Technique. It's the incredible ability of the Second Tsuchikage, Muu.

[The Fission Technique is a highly advanced ninjutsu that allows you to literally split your own body into two identical yet entirely independent duplicates of yourself.]

This allows me to freely use the technique to send my duplicate out disguised as Mouseman or someone else to handle different tasks.

While one of me is on duty, the other could be training or handling personal business somewhere hidden.

As soon as it took a hundred points, I activated the technique.

The sensation of being split in half is... neither painful nor particularly pleasant it's just strange, feeling like there are now two of me.

Luckily, I don't have simultaneous awareness in both bodies.

My consciousness remains in one body while the other holds an imprint of my mind from the moment of separation.

"Hey there!"

The other me waved cheerfully.

Just then, Pamela entered the basement.

"Sweetie, are you going to... Oh. That clone of yours again. Which one of you is real?"

She knows about the clones, but without using her abilities, she can't tell the original from the duplicate just by looking.

"We're both real!"

We grinned in unison.

"Fine,"

She said, studying both of us before resorting to her abilities.

"What?!"

It seemed she realized her powers weren't helping this time.

It's hard for anyone to suspect me of being a meta, magician, or any other kind of freak.

"But... how?!"

Pamela exclaimed.

"Special body-splitting technique. I now have two bodies."

I explained.

"Two fully-real, human bodies with blood, bones, needs, and everything else. Although I'll need to study this a bit more... it opens up a whole world of possibilities!"

The other me added, with a hint of excitement.

"Whew! How do I... with you... both of you... oh, forget it! I'm going to have a drink!"

It seemed we'd successfully overwhelmed our little flower.

"We need to be gentler with her."

I said.

"Agreed. We should... 'apologize,'"

The other added with a smirk.

I headed upstairs to prepare the bedroom while the other one reviewed my stats and skill levels.

Over the past month, I'd made some solid progress.

...

The other quickly went upstairs to the bedroom, and I was already waiting for me.

"Pamela!!!"

We yelled and heard her coming up the stairs towards us.

"What do you want from me?"

She was already a little drunk, and I think it's easy to agree with that.

"I thought you wanted a threesome?"

I said and walked around behind her with the other me in front of her.

"So I have the opportunity to make it happen."

Then, he kissed her lips.

I wasn't jealous because it was basically "me," so it was okay.

However, Pam was shocked, to say the least, and didn't resist the slow caresses of her body.

Then Harley entered the room.

"Y-you two?! Yay! Awesome! I'm getting my own!"

She even started to undress, hoping to join us.

Suddenly, she was stopped by Pam's vines that made her hang in the air and then quickly carried her outside the room and closed the door!

"They're both MINE!"

Pamela said and kissed my lips, "I never dreamed you would be two sweeties..."

I'll have to tell her later that I can only hold this clone for three hours at the first level of this technique.

Then he'll either disappear, or I'll merge with me again, just like I did.

"At least let me see it!"

Harley whimpered and started banging on the door and then making a sound like we had a cat that was scratching on our crib to sleep.

But no one was paying attention to Harley at that moment.

We were absorbed in each other.

To be continued...
