I Got Isekai'd, Well Shyt! Vol. 1, 2, and 3

Vol.3 Johan, The Illusionist.

Johan hurried through the woods, running through the dense vegetation with a single-minded purpose.

'Please... Let me make it in time. I can't lose her...' Johan thought as he dodged a few low branches from a tree.

Johan chastised himself for not being there for his wife. He should have gone with her to the carriage, but then he might have died in her arms instead. So he set his emotions aside as best as he could. He had to focus on the task at hand and come up with a plan quickly.

'I'll be there soon, Tayna. I promise you that I will save you.'

As Johan moved deeper into the forest the more soaked he got. But his determination never wavered.

The rain made the ground slippery, and even with Johan's high dexterity, he nearly tripped a few times.

'Dammit! Why does it have to be raining so hard!' Johan cursed. His anger starts to take hold and his mana channeled throughout his body.

'If only I could use Shadow Self! Then I could save my Tayna!... I'm a pathetic excuse of a husband!'

Johan kept running and his heart started pounding as he thought about Tayna's beautiful smile. He couldn't bear the thought of never seeing her again as his anger started taking hold. He thought it was going to be a bad thing to let his emotions run wild. That was until he felt his mana flowing throughout his body. That's when it clicked, Johan's mana was in perfect harmony with his mind and body.

'Shadow Self... Please! Work! I'll give anything to save her. So work dammit!' Johan concentrated on his mana and chanted the incantation.

*Shing*

The familiar sound of his mana came ringing in his ears. He remembered hearing the same thing when he successfully cast Shadow Self that one time by accident.

"Shadow Self," Johan whispered while he closed his eyes.

He could feel the magic forming around him until it felt like something pushed out of him.

"Wha?" Johan was confused and opened his eyes to see a perfect clone of himself. His illusion looked exactly like him in every way. Even his clothes were soaked, but one thing that surprised Johan was how determined his illusion looked. Johan could feel its conscience inside his mind.

'Johan... what's the plan?' the illusion spoke to him through Johan's mind.

It took a moment for Johan to register what was going on. It was a surreal experience to have a second consciousness running through his mind. It almost gave him a headache at first but he seemed to gain a better understanding of his spell the more he concentrated on it.

'That's right. You're a part of me. And together we'll save my wife,' Johan spoke mentally to his clone.

'But what's the plan, Master Johan?' The Illusion asked again.

'Well... I think you should take the lead... For some reason the person that captured Tayna wants us... Dalia said there was only one of them but we need to make sure that she's correct before we make our move to save her... If it is only one perpetrator then I need you to distract him while I sneak up behind him and I'll save Tayna... I'm sorry for putting you in harm's way,' Johan spoke through his mind.

'Don't be sorry. I'm a part of you, so your emotions are my emotions. Being dispelled is just a natural process. So don't worry about it. Besides, you need to save Tayna,' his shadow said.

Johan just smirked and shook his head, "Having two of me is weird... I feel like I would get into an apology loop with myself... Now, let's go. Time is wasting."
