Three people burst out of the light from Allen. The light died down and he smirked at Hilda who had a clear perplexed look on her face.

"W-What are those?" She asked as she looked at the three figures that were currently standing still, all unmoving.

"These are my clones," Allen introduce. One by one, he pointed at the clones he made from his new Code. "Stacey, Oliver, and Vince."

Stacey was a clone that was a woman with a long and slender figure. She had narrow eyes, a button nose, and freckles on her pale face. Her hair was long and black and it was tied to a ponytail. She was the assassin of Allen's group.

Oliver was a petite man that looked like he recently just became of legal age. He had a reddish orange hair and forest green eyes that looked like they were gems. His skin was fare and his figure looked fragile, he was the support.

Lastly, Vince was the alpha. He was a dark skinned man that was almost twice the height of Oliver. He had bold chiseled figute, as if he was someone who had worked in labor ever since he was a child. He was the tank and the pretend captain of the group.

Allen created these three people from his Code. He can summon all of them at his own will and keep them if he wanted to. They didn't have a mind of their own, so each clone has to rely on him.

He recently discovered a Code that was similar to his Snake's Blessing. The new Code he got, Body Creator, was evolvable. Currently, he can create clones and control them but they still lack the fighting aspect and even abilities.

When he can evolve the skill, maybe he can gain more features for the Code, allowing him to make them fight like they were actual Hunters. Currently, they have a fraction of what Allen can do. The best thing he could do with them in the wild was to let them roam around.

He was also still trying to figure out how he was going to control them. He was having a hard time controlling three people all at once, that he forgets to move his own body. This was a huge problem especially when he was around other people.

"What are you going to do about this?" Hilda asked. "And who will you ask help for?"

Allen smirked, "The one who gave me my new identity in the first place."

–

"The user you are trying to reach is unabil–"

Allen placed his phone down after trying to call Jake for the sixth time. After their last encounter, the man gave him a contact saying that if he ever needs something else, he can call.

"I shouldn't have believed that loser," Allen groaned. "He was all talk, and now that I need him, he's gone."

The boy groaned until he heard the doorbell of his unit rang. He went and opened it, revealing Jeremy with a boy. "What are you doing?"

Jeremy pushed the boy inside while Allen stepped to the side to dodge clashing with the boy. His eyebrows met and looked at Jeremy, "Seriously, what happened?"

"I caught this man peeking outside of your unit," Jeremy said. "He looked suspicious enough, so I asked him. He can't answer, so I just bought him inside."

"I-I.." the boy stuttered. He took a deep breath and took something from his pocket, making both men in front of him summon their weapons and pointed at him. "N-No."

The boy raised his hand and showed a phone to them, the phone displaying Jack's name.

"You know Jack?" Allen asked. He took the phone while the other line answered the call. "Hello, Jack?"

"Oi," Jack said. "I don't think this is Kevin. Wait, Dante?"

"Yeah, it's me," Allen said. "What's up with this boy? Do you want me to babysit now?"

"No," Jack snorted, then laughed completely. "This boy is a puppeteer. He has a Code similar to yours, and I think he can help you with Body Creation."

Allen sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Of course, Dennis told you, didn't he?"

"The man was just concerned, boy," Jack said. "All of us wants the best for you, because you're the bet of our lives. You hold the power to change the flow of how society works, and we just want the highest quality of service to you."

"Jack–"

"The Fire Dragon has its servants," Jack cut him off. "All of us, Verta Carta, Blood Moon, Snake Society, we're all your servants. And until you take the leap of faith and command us, we will be by your side."

Allen was speechless for a couple of seconds. He looked at the boy who was fidgeting while standing in front of him. He had so many unanswered questions, that he felt that his head would blow up soon.

But one thing was for certain. He was served well by the people who believed in him. They were pushing him up even when it costed their own selves, just for his dream of creating a better world for everyone and not just for a few.

"Okay," Allen said. "I will talk to Kevin now. Thank you for your help, Jack. I owe you a lot now."

"The time will come where you will pay me back, boy," Jack chuckled halfheartedly, but anyone knew he meant what he said both seriously and humorously. Allen will sooner or later pay him, and that time will come.

The call ended and Allen handed Kevin his phone. He went to serve the boy tea and made him sit on the living room couch.

"So, you also have Body Creator Code?" Allen asked, to which Kevin nodded in response.

"Let me make things clear first," Allen continued. "Basically, this lets us create puppets that would inherit a fraction of our stats. Then, does that mean that they would sooner or later have a mind of their own once the Code has evolved?"

Kevin shook his head. He opened his mouth but failed to utter a single word. He sighed and raised his hand, making his arm glow with the same light that Allen showed Hilda.

This light made Jeremy stood from the couch beside Allen and raise his sword, to which Allen raised his hand to stop him from doing so. "It's okay, calm down."

Unlike the animation of Allen's puppet creation, Kevin instantly created the Body. It was a man with a tall figure, black hair and a pair of circular glasses. He had a white shirt underneath his lab gown while he wore khaki shorts that mismatched his black leather shoes.

"What the hell.." Jeremy trailed off after seeing the human-looking puppet. It stood beside Kevin and opened his eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I'm an introvert," the puppet said. "I will introduce myself, my name is Kevin Glenn, and I'm using this puppet— Professor Fajardo, as a way of communication with you."

"Oh," Jeremy slowly went back to his seat. "That looks weird. And it also feels weird. Dante, are you sure we can trust this guy?"

Allen smirked and manifested Oliver. This made Jeremy form an O with his mouth. "You can do it too, okay. That's cool."

"Good," Kevin chuckled. "First, you have to understand the principles of Body Creation. You can create people from scratch and give them their lives, basically. And you order them everything from the most basic things, even walking. You have to command left, right, left, right."

"That's a really huge setback," Allen pursed his lips. "I tried to make them do basic things, and then I would end up not being able to do anything. I'm this close to letting go of this Code."

Kevin laughed. "You have to be kidding me. This Code is just as rare as the Primordial Beast Codes. Puppet Creator Code was found on Eternity from a group of antelopes. The Hunters basically became obsessed with the Code and the population of the beast that produced it became extinct."

Allen gasped, "That can happen? But what about the restricted zone? They didn't build it?"

Kevin chuckled, "The thing is, the ones on top were the ones who ordered the grinding of the Code. I was one of the people who worked there. When I got the Code, I resigned saying that it violates moral codes."

"But why do they badly want it?" Allen asked. "And who else has it?"

"Currently, there are only three people who has it," Kevin replied. "Me, you, and a man named Lewis Nixon."

Allen's eyes widened. "Lewis Nixon?"
