Did it want me to fuse with me…?
I silently nodded to the voice that asked me that, as I stared at the glowing ball.
“Yes.”
As soon as I agreed, the “fusion” between the two “me” and the fusion magical tool began.
The magical tool merged with my soul, and the empty landscape in front of me was changed into a nostalgic screen. As I stared at the distorted lines and white stains, I could see letters and numbers overlapping with the third-person view of myself. This was… a VRMMO character status screen.
“…What is this?”
Why did it suddenly turn into a game screen? Well, I have an idea, but what surprised me was the status itself.

…I didn’t see any increase in skill or status, not even in level. What does this mean? I thought I had strengthened my skills a lot, but…
“Hmm?”
I looked closer and found a scroll key at the edge of the screen. When I touched it, the page switched and a new status screen appeared.
Player: Carol Nym Arceides
Race: Half-Elf
Age: 15

“…”
What could I say, I thought I was strengthening my Player Character skills, but it seems I was “Power Leveling” Carol with my Player Character?
Power Levelling was that thing. It was where you make a strong character fight and get experience to raise the level of the other character.
When I regained consciousness, I was three years old, and my skill level must have been 1. In the 12 years since then, I surpassed Bert-san, who has been training for decades.
I assumed that because of my age, the little Carol’s Player’s power had been restored, but I soon realized that her status had simply increased, despite the fact that her basic level had never changed to match this world without levels…
The hidden status of little Carol’s ability also seemed to increase the Player’s power.
(Fusion? yes/no)
Was this a fusion of my Player Character and “me”? But now that we’ve come this far, there’s no going back.
“Yes.”
When the Player’s display wavered and disappeared, the values were added to “Me,” and my level and status started to increase, and the little Carol, who was visible in my third-person view, grew up to be a 15 – 16 years old child.
The grown-up version of myself was the same as my Player Character, but I felt like it was more human-like or rather more “alive” than when it was just my Player Character.
As I looked at the numbers going up…what? Huh? Huh? Wasn’t it increasing more than I expected?

“…”
Wasn’t the upper limit for skills 100? My status increased considerably because of that, but my level also increased quite a bit. Could it be that even the lifestyle skills acquired during my 12 years of living were also added to my skills?
And the [BONUS POINTS] text that appeared the moment the fusion was over….
I guessed it was a bug that I was able to use the Player Character’s ability.
God, that’s not what I was expecting!
Well, that’s OK, this [Bonus Point] was what the [Child of God] Grandpa gave me, which was supposed to be added to my soul, converting my passion, time, and love for the game into power.
