Elven Domination: Reincarnated with a Cloning System

'This is definitely not practical—only after trying for the 169th time did I finally create a ray of light.'

'Luckily I had chosen her affinity too, otherwise, it would have been much harder for me to use magic.'

Still, even if it had taken him so much time to produce a simple ray of light—which might not have been possible without his Mana Genius(SS)—he would still like to recreate the magic he had seen from Fira.

'It's magic that could heal. It would be very helpful, even if it would be much harder. I would like to recreate that spell in my spare time, as my first priority is to make use of the affinity I had gotten from her.'

He would like to learn some powerful fire spells, but right now he couldn't do that. He had used more than half an hour, naming it as a break. He knew even for normal slaves this would be too much.

Arthur knew he needed to mine more mana stones, but having the ability to use mana, he had an idea that would make him practice his control over mana at the same time as mining the mana stones.

He used his mana to create a hand out of mana—not trying to change it to any other element but just making a solid hand that he would be able to control for mining.

It took him around 7 tries to create a handout of mana. He tried to control the hand using his imagination: holding two fingers, making a fist, and doing different kinds of movements.

At first, it was hard for him to make the hand do what he wanted, but after 10 minutes of controlling it and getting the hang of it, Arthur felt like he was ready.

However, before he could even start mining using the new magical hand he had created, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

This made the hand made out of mana vanish.

"Ugh, what's happening?"

He felt like he couldn't perform any magic for the time being now, and he had read about something like this in the novels he would usually read.

'Something like mental power, which depends on the intelligence stats of a person.'

Arthur wasn't sure about the credibility of his information, as the resource was the fantasy novels he had read in his previous world, but they did help him quite a bit in understanding his situation from time to time.

'I don't know how those authors had done that, but their imagination did go above and beyond as it is helping me in another world.'

He knew he needed to rest his mind for a bit to recover himself.

While resting his mind, he decided to make use of his own physical ability to mine like he usually did, and in just half an hour he filled the trolley. He didn't hold back while mining as he hadn't used his body much since yesterday—he had missed the physical work due to the creation of the clone.

Arthur reached the elf in charge to deliver the trolley. He could see she had confusion written on her face as he had taken a full hour's worth of break due to checking his talent and testing his magic. The pain he felt in his mind was now gone.

'I think I could use magic again.'

He felt relieved knowing that the female elf in charge of the mana stone loading to bigger transportation didn't say anything to him for taking such a long break.

He was about to take the trolley back from her when suddenly he felt a painful sensation in his lower stomach.

Caught off guard by the unexpected pain, Arthur couldn't help but release a grunt.

"Urgh."

The female elf in charge noticed what happened to him, and just by taking a look at how he reacted, she knew what was going on.

'He is on his cycle. Did he forget he can take a break during that time, or is he intentionally harming himself like the last time?'

It did embarrass her to talk to him directly about something like this, but she had to do it. Last time, after going back, she decided not to talk about his personal problems with others, thinking he was already suffering—the rumors would make it even worse.

But now she was aware of the rumors that were going around about Arthur and Fira having a thing, but they seemed quite real as there were so many elves who had witnessed it.

'There is something weird going on. I don't know what, but to get to the bottom of this I have to share this with everyone, even if I don't like the idea of it.'

'Arthur is definitely suffering. I doesn't know the reason, but with everyone's help they would surely get to the bottom of this.'

"Arthur, you are dismissed for today. I don't know what is happening with you, but you can take a break on your C-cycle. It's common to take a break during that time."

The elf's voice shook a bit at the end, but she did deliver her message. The work in the mine required continuous physical activity, so they could take a break during their cycle if they wanted. All of them took a break. She had never seen someone other than coming to work on their cycle as this was the first time for her.

It made her a bit emotional, so she offered her help.

"I can help you get to your room if you want. Take a break until you are fine."

She knew she wouldn't be able to see the hottie for a few days, but she couldn't let him suffer. She already had a boyfriend; otherwise, she wouldn't mind shooting her shot at such a hottie.

She was a very loyal woman and loved her man, so she had no interest in him other than the fact that she enjoyed watching such a handsome man every day. It gave her motivation even in this boring job.

Arthur had a frozen expression on his face during the whole time she talked. He didn't even move an inch of muscle in his facial expression until he heard everything.

'Fuck! I am on my period!'
