Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The Man In The Mirror

(POV MC)

"Dad has the body of a Greek God, or a Viking, as Dad looked one with all the rune tattoos he had on his body. Dad even had the face of a Viking.

When I was growing up my Dad always looked like a war-torn Viking gangster. From his face to his chest, arms, and legs. All of them had scars and rune tattoos." I said as I puffed up my chest with pride while talking to my reflection.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~

"How did my Dad get strong? I'll tell ya if You told me how you got stronger. Then tell me how your Dad got stronger as well." I asked while looking at my other self, who looked just like Dad, but they had dark hair and black eyes.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, So that's how your Dad got stronger. I didn't know you could eat a god to take all their power. Sounds like your Dad is also pretty strong. Oh ya, are you sure condensing my muscles will make me stronger?" I said while talking to my new friend.

"Well since you told me how your Dad got stronger I'll tell you how mine did. Last week Dad drank a wedding gift he had been saving from Grandpa Max, apparently from what Mom told me..." I said with pride.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~

"Quit being vague my butt... FINE, I'll tell you the whole story dude..." I said with an annoyed expression.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~~~~

"The potion healed all of Dad's cool scars sadly. The same ones I told you about ten minutes ago... I even heard Dad talking about his old wounds being healed up as well. I get that healing is good, but those scars were cool.

One more thing I should mention is the fact Dad is literally superhuman in all physical attributes just like those comic book hero guys we read about. While your Dad ate a lesser God, my Dad killed an elder vampire." I said as I started flexing before the mirror.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~~~~~~

"More details, FINE, but you owe me you hear.... Mom told me Dad has medium-level magic resistance and a low magical-based regeneration speed." I replied as I kept talking into the mirror.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~

 

"I mastered that spell within 4 hours of learning it. I am a genius, as most kids take months to learn that simple reading spell starting! I'm not sure what Dad has cause the mole under his left eye seems magical, along with the rings on his fingers and rune tattoos.

Dad's beard reaches his neck, and he has it braided with three silver rings holding it together. I wonder how often he needs to wash it with the way he eats his food." I said out loud to the mirror in the bathroom.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~

"Mom has white hair and orange eyes... What the hell are you talking about, Mirror me! Mom's hair is brown like mine, and her eyes are green like mine. But her hair reaches her shoulders instead of the middle of her back like me.

She even had some magical rings on her fingers with some other accessories like a necklace, earrings, wristbands on both wrists, and a silver rod with weird golden letters on it. If my memory is right about that dude." I said waiting for my other self's response.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~~~~

What hairstyle is mom, bro are you blind she used said item to try up her hair in a Chinese hair bun style. Just ask Mirror Mom if she has the same hairstyle or something. Wait why would you have to ask are you trolling, you just got to look at her and tell me..." I replied to my other self.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~

"Ring, bro she'll make me a magic storage ring for my 14th birthday, ok. I know Mom looks exactly like Auntie Gwen, dude they are twins ok!" My anger was fuming at this dude's pointless questions, is he even an alternate version of me anyway? Why is his hair black instead of brown?

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~~~~

"Yes, Uncle Ben came over last Christmas, dude! He even gave me a stuffed doll he called Alien X,.It looked like it was the night sky shaped like a person with light green eyes. Alien X isn't an ordinary doll since whenever I feel lonely, I can talk to him sometimes. What are you jealous of something Mirror me." I asked while raising an eyebrow.

Mirror Lucas: . . .

"Stop the bullshit already dude, I'm not a freak, this is a perfectly normal dude." I said while pointing to the mirror with a shocked expression.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~~~~!

"Ya, I know, dude! Since, unlike you, my looks didn't come from Dad! While you're a clone of Dad in every sense of the word, I'm a clone of Mom from her looks alone. I'm only 13, so I know this will all change as I grow older, hopefully..." I said with a hint of doubt clouding my mind.

Mirror Lucas: ~~

"How tall are you again? I'm =5'6, but Dad was 6'6!" I asked.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~

"6 foot... Already...." I said as I kept blinking rapidly while I looked him up and down for a minuite.

"Yep, that's cool being tall, but I'm pretty talented at magic, and extreme sword talent will touch the skies above. I will slay dragons with all my skills in the future!

Dad just doesn't understand my sword talent, using an axe is for firefighters or lumberjacks." I said while feeling I was on top of the world and could do anything and be anyone I wanted to be if I trained hard enough.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~

"What did my Dad look like when he was younger... I don't know." I replied with a frown.

'I wonder how Dad looked when he was my age... I mean, Dad had short brown hair that reached his ears. But he always used mom's self-crafted hair gel to slick his hair back pretty often and would always go the extra mile to use a hair comb to even it out... Did he look like that when he was younger..." I thought before I thought back to the hair gel mom made.

'Chances are the hair gel made by Mom has some sort of magical attribute. Mom taught me a simple spell yesterday to help me read the magically locked books she gave me to read. I wish it was a fireball or something, but begging didn't help either.' I groaned while thinking of the future.

Mirror Lucas: ~~~~~

"Oh, are you wanna see my sword style... Well, you asked for it" I said as I started posing in front of the mirror. I held the sword in my heart using, my toothbrush as a temporary replacement.

Mirror Lucas: ~

"... Well, It's not bad, but your sword skills could use some work..." I said while trying to keep myself together as I saw this man pull off sword techniques, I've been trying to master for the last week.

'This alternate version of me looks so cool man. I have long brown hair, he has short abyssal black hair. I have Green eyes, His eyes are abyssal black like his hair. While My skin was white and smooth his skin had a very dark tan, he said his skin was rough and hard apparently.

This guy literally won the genetic lottery man! He looks like a copy of Dad instead of a copy of Mom, like me... The dude even has his own fucking magic black grimoire with crimson runes on it. Then the dark gray cloak he was wearing was so cool.' I thought as a few tears started to flow as I kept thinking about how my alternate self got everything I ever wanted, and I got nothing. . . .
