About this story
Trust in yourself, they said... but which one?
Ellen is a young adventurer who duplicates every time she dies.
And she dies a lot.
All she wanted was to follow in her legendary grandfather's footsteps and become the greatest adventurer who ever lived! Was that too much to ask?
Now she has to dodge government tax audits, endure unrelenting System notification spam, and wrangle a dungeon core bent on making her life as miserable as possible!
But hey, if she can just learn to work with herself, it'll be fine! Probably!
