Upon watching his Hero license, he immediately wanted to test his powers out and get strong as fast as possible. He wanted to at least give breakfast to his sister Xian to reward her for the effort of taking care of his mother.
The wind of the sea breeze was calming as he walks the bridge by the sea side. All was heading to the nearest dungeon that was opened just this past week. All in all for his family, he was ready to fight for living.
His mother was a rare case of comatose. She caught a mana toxicity disease in which her body rejects mana and made her incapable of wielding it. Making her body in comatose and in deep sleep.
Along with his problem, his father was also missing. To his guess, he went to loan sharks to ask money to treat his wife. Xin on the other side, was busy fighting on the underground fights to sustain his mother's bills. And a spare change for food that was not even able to fill them up.
The path towards the nearest dungeon was on the busy streets. Walkways has several people walking by and were busy in their own night life. Others were already going home and wanted to rest for the time being.
Xin arrived to the dungeon and was already wearing his weapon strap of broadsword. With him seeing the dungeon manager, he was immediately escorted to the briefing room.
"Are you a Hero?" He asked.
"Yes, I am here to clear the dungeon." Xin bowed slightly.
"Hmm, I see. We'll see if you can, let's head inside first," he said, "By the way, I am Bei Lin. You will be with a team so don't worry much about surviving. You will be taken care of," Bei Lin said to him.
"Well, I am in good hands then." Xin smiled.
Upon entering the room, the two saw the teammates that he was talking about. A bald guy with brownish skin. A Cocky female and a mischievous short male. With him added, they will be a team of 4.
Xin went to the seat provided and then sat to feel at ease. But looking at their glares at him, he was thinking otherwise. He saw a coffee stick and brew it while listening.
"The dungeon we have is a C rank dungeon. Only level 5 below are allowed to enter and the enemies were wolves. The dungeon requirements to close was to kill the boss which was an Alpha Wolf. Now, any questions?" He asked.
Xin was studying the dungeon and was pretty new to this. Though he was confident that he could close it even without them.
With the briefing about to end, he immediately went to the dungeon gate. He entered with the others and they all changed uniforms. The environment was tropical and the forest was dense. Trees looming above them but bones littered the ground. Smell of feral beasts were abundant in the environment.
"Hey newbie, scout for us for potential threats." Their supposed leader said.
"Okay," Xin replied without second thoughts. He thought that it was better to be away from this scums for a reason.
First, they wanted to get the rewards with him as a sacrifice. No one would mind his death eventually with just a simple words of lies. He immediately smirked for that reason. And that would be their greatest mistake.
Xin immediately went towards the nest of the wolves and he piled dried woods on the entrance. As well as other exits.
He roasted them off with his firewood and the wolves were burned from the inside of their cave. The others were on the suffocating smell of the carbon.

"Well, let's test it out!"
He immediately made 4 clones and then commanded them to eradicate the remaining wolves. With it, he was able to just sit on the grass and wait. Soon after, they met the Alpha Wolf. Making booming sounds with the aftermath of their clash.
His clones were having a hard time. Sun Xin immediately went to their rescue. He dashed towards the fray and then saw the Alpha Wolf. It was bigger than its underlings by ten times. Stronger and faster too. White fur with a star on its forehead.
One of his clones was heavily wounded and so he let him rest to his shadows. The other 3 were still fighting the enemy.
"Distract him!" Xin commanded.
Xin dashed towards the enemy and as it was busy with the others, he went to leap on its back and stabbed its head with his broadsword. Making it wail and whimper on the process.
Xin did not stop there, he immediately stabbed some more and more to end its life. Making it trash all over the place. The woods were flattened on the process and the forest were destroyed on its wake. The other clones unceasingly stabbing and slashed its fur until its life was waning.
Making them stab their swords on the ground while panting. Xin immediately sat on the destroyed wood and took a breather.

With it, Xin immediately grabbed the monster crystals and sold it off. Earning 1 dollars per crystal amounting to 60 dollars. Plus world Boss crystal amounting to 120 dollars.
Immediately, Sun Xin went to the market and brought groceries and presents to his sister. From cakes, mango float, biscuits and ice cream. He was excited to see his sister's smiling face as he brought these gifts to her.
Sun Xin went home and was walking silently as he entered their house. He wanted to surprise his sister and so, he tried his best to be like a burglar.
He entered the front door and it was silent. He immediately locked the door but it was still dark. The room was erily silent.
Xin put his presents on the table and arranged it to be delightful in the eyes. He began to walk towards the switch of the lights and lighted it up.
He shouted with joy as he wanted to surprise her but it was silent. He went to the room his mother was situated and saw her collapsed on the floor.
"Xian!" Xin held her on his arms and patted her cheeks. "Xian stay with me!"
He immediately made her drank water as she woke up wearily.
"Don't leave me please. Big brother is here," Xin felt a crumpling force that was building up inside his heart. His eyes became wet and droplets of tears began to fall.
Sun Xin carried her on her room and let her rest. She has high fever and made her drink meds. For now he has to let her rest.
With it, he put a clone to guard her at all times and when she woke up, she was surprised.
"Big brother! There are two of you!" Xian shouted.
"Yes!" Xin replied. "Don't make me worry again okay?"
"Yes, I am sorry," she sadly said.
The room now has foods and she was surprised.
"Happy birthday Xian," Sun Xin smiled at her.
They ate the food that Xin brought and his clone also was running to and fro to buy more.
"Hey, are you tired?" Xin asked his clone.
"Nope, I am more energetic than ever! Especially for my Little sister," he replied. He said then made a thumbs up.
"With that, I will make more clones to earn more money. I can't make the same mistake as before," Xin said to him.
"Hmm, how?" He asked quite intrigued.
"I will make my clones do labor jobs at construction projects," Xin said to him.
"Really? You're really unforgiving and merciful," he pouted.
Xin scratched his head as he don't know what to do.
"Well, we don't have a choice do we? We have to pay rents and mom's medical bills," Xin concluded.
"Yeah, we don't have a choice," the clones Xin replied while in deep thoughts.
"By the way, if I will learn something new, the clones will learn it too. So that means, if I learn martial arts, then the clones will know what I know too," Xin said to him.
"Right! That makes sense!" The clone replied.
"And so, I will focus on learning for now. So that my clones will learn them all," Xin explained.
"Yes, good luck on that," Xin clone replied. Patting his shoulders on the process.
"I will learn butler etiquettes to assist you," Xin clone said to him.
Immediately, Xin smiled on the idea he gave.
"Yeah, looking forward to it." he smiled in excitement.
With it, Xin started to learn new things. First, he learned samurai and ninja skills. Then next was training in the scout rangers army.
He also practiced and study how to improve the reflex and muscle memory. Also, his innate skill photographic memory. The thing was, he already have this skill since high school and was a top student due to it. But fate did not permit him to go to college.
And now, he reads books left and right while studying martial arts. His clones were able to learn what he learned too and it took a little bit of time to learn the basics.
Now, he went to the gate with a mail sent from the Hero's association. He read it and saw that he was invited to become a Hero under the police department and crime division. With just the robberies and small crimes that were needed to be solved by meager forces like him.
With it, he accepted the position as the pay was good. He could shift to being labor to a Hero Police. He immediately went to the hero association and passed the tests. Making him on duty on the first day of his work.
He was issued with a pistol and a baton. He was chasing robbers and criminals in a robbery attempt and beat them up with his martial arts. First, the enemies surrounded him as he was alone and when he cloned himself. He immediately beat them up.
The robbers fired their guns and the clones disappeared like a mist. He threw his baton on the gun and attacked them in close combat. They fired their guns and Xin cloned himself. All of them were slammed on the ground and was captured.
With a passing time, he was still learning and was able to pay their expenses and debts. They even have a spare change to pay for their wants.
Soon after, they moved to a bigger house and their mother was taken care of in the hospital. His sister started to go to school and so Xin was able to focus on learning.
They have a bonding time with his sister and were happy at the moment. Though his rank as a hero did not go up and was still B class rank 32. The clones already have prior knowledge and were doing fine.
Though the problem was, Xin wanted more. He wanted to be a renown Hero that fights villains and not just criminals. His life long dream has to come true!
And so, he applied to the Hero division and became a Hero that fights Villains.
With his current level, Level 6, he has 7 clones. It will not be enough for now. And so, he went to dungeon hunting again to level up. He has to be at least be on hundred clones to contend with the Powers of villains. Even with it, it might not be enough. He has to strive two times harder than normal.
Luckily, after level 10, he would get +10 clones per level up. And so, the leveling up begins!
