The Hero of Hypnosis

As Kai came back to his senses, he slightly pushed the two women off of them. But to not break their hearts, he decided to play along with them, at least for now. 

"Mom, sis, I'm so glad you're okay. But right now, we have to make sure everyone gets out of here safely." 

"Yes, yes, you're right. I'm just so happy that you're okay. You really did keep your promise and got adventures to help us!" 

"I'm so proud of you, little brother. I'm positive you'll make it into the hero academy now!" 

'Okay, okay, slow down! Too much information is flooding my head right now!' 

"Kai?" Josh walked over. "I didn't know you're family was here. You should have told me!" 

Kai waved his hand, brushing the comment off. "We need to get everyone out of here, and take the dead so we can bury them." 

"Right. Priorities." Josh nodded. "Excuse me, but can you tell us if there are any other places where people are being kept?" He asked some people. 

"I-I know." An elderly man answered. 

Sophia walked up to him, her sweet smile soothing the scared, shaking man. "Can you tell us where they are being kept?" 

"J-Just on the other side. There should be an entrance there. B-But I think that's where they dump the ones they killed. E-Eveyone who went there never made it out. E-Excpet Kai." 

"I'll go check it out." Kai nodded. "You all get everyone out of here." 

Lucy stepped forward. "I'll come with you. In case there is a monster there, you need to be protected." 

Kai nodded. "Okay, now, everyone, huddle up and stand still for a bit." He cast group heal on everyone there, healing their wounds, soothing their minds, and satisfying their hunger. They were all back to normal, but the trauma would still remain if there was any. 

"Wow." 

"Amazing!" 

"Kai, you're the best!" 

"Alright, let's go." 

Kai and Lucy followed the path the old man told them about, which led them to the literal dump site of the monsters. Everthing here was decaying, full of garbage and shit, literal shit. 

"Ughh!" Lucy covered her nose, gagging as the smell overtook her senses. 

Kai too felt sick from the smell, so he quickly cast clean to make the place nice and remove the smell. 

"Thanks." Lucy smiled 

"Yeah." 

They looked around until they saw the dead bodies they were looking for. Hundreds of people piled up on one side of the cave, their bodies still fresh as they were killed recently. 

But that wasn't the biggest shock of the century. What made Kai second-guess his existence was the fact that there was someone here who looked exactly like him, body features and all, who was dead on the ground with a spear implanted in his heart and an arrow in his head. 

'Fuckk! It's like looking into a mirror to see how you die. Some freaky shit right here.' 

Since everyone here was dead, that meant he could place them in his inventory. He saved his 'twin' for last, but once he went to place him in the inventory, a notification popped up on his status window. 

[Hey, Leo here, I bet you're wondering why you found someone who looks exactly like you and even has the same name. Well, it's simple, really. Remember how on earth, there is someone who looks like you in the world? Well, the same thing applies to the entire universe. You just happened to find the person who looks like you in this world. So, as a gift for discovering something super rare, here's an ability. 

Doubleganger - Can absorb the memories of your doubleganger if you wish to know how they lived or wish to live their life. 

PS* - This is a prerecorded message, I'm not actually talking to you. Bye] 

'I guess this explains everything.' Kai used the skill on the dead body, and memories came flooding into his mind. 

In the span of 18 seconds, Kai relived 18 years of his doubleganger's life from birth up to death. He was also named Kai, but had a loving mother and father. When he was 8, he and his dad got stranded in the mountains for three years. Unfortunately, his dad died, but Kai managed to survive and make it home to his mother and older sister. 

Ever since that day, Kai's dream has been to become a hero and save everyone. He trained, studied, and kept pushing himself so he could achieve his goal. He had no friends and was a loner, but his dream and family kept him going. Then, a month ago, monsters attacked their village, completely destroying it and killing over half of the population.

They were taken to this cave and were held captive, barely getting fed to survive. Then, an opportunity came, a chance for him to escape. He told everyone that he would come back with help. But before he could even escape, he was killed by goblins. 

'Fuck man, what a tragic life. Well, at least I know everything now.' 

The doubleganger's body dissolved into white mist and flowed into Kai's body. 

'Don't worry, other me, I'll make sure to take care of your mom and sister, especially their sexual needs.' 

A grin formed on his face as he looked forward to sharing the same bed with his new mother and sister. 

'I also planned on becoming a hero. But I won't be a hero of justice, I'll be a Hero of Hypnosis!' 

Kai was also able to get the names of his new family. His mom's name is Erika, while his sister's name is Vanira. Erika is 38 while Vanira is 22. 

"Okay, I got everyone. Let's get out of here, Lucy." 

"Right." 

Josh, Sophie, and Richard were able to lead everyone out of the cave safely without encountering any problems, but as soon as the sun washed over their faces, an army of goblins, hobgoblins, and ogres blocked their path. 

"Gekekeke, stupid humans! Fell for trap! Ugly man was right!" A taller, stronger, and more intelligent goblin spoke, his eyes glowing purple. 

Sophia froze "A goblin lord? How is a goblin lord here?" 

"Doesn't matter! We need to bash in their skulls if we want to get out of here! HYAHHH!" 

"Richard is right. Protect everyone, Sophia. Richard and I will hold them off.
