As a result, Bob decided that it would probably be simplest if he explained (gently) to Allie that he could tell something was holding her back, guide her to hopefully remove her (Magic Treasure Suppression) and unlock her true potential, while explaining his situation as having multiple extensions of himself that were separate entities at an opportune time.
She could freak out, maybe it would be too much, but oh well, in that case, Bob would be free to move on with a clear conscience having given her the chance to make an informed decision about their relationship and what she wanted to do.
The other matter was dealing with obstacles and the opposition to his plans in order to make them easier to achieve.
This was an idea he had gotten during his second [Dream State] in the Sky-Rise Garden.
The so-called 'Dark Side...' this was also a part of Humanity, one that needed to be understood in order to reach the next level.
Currently, the 'Core' Bob, that was, he himself as the Original, would live a quiet life, unassuming, with access to resources information, and the beating pulse of 'normality'. In theory, it would be not too heavy, not too light, just right!
The current Bob was known as a young and promising university student with talent in Epigenetic studies, currently completing a triple degree in Business and Psychology, Music and the Arts.
His close friends and associates knew that he had founded Become-A-Hero, and Old Man Li of course knew about the arrangement regarding Valentine, but that was about it for now.
Bob knew that in order to help people, he couldn't just blindly rush in. He needed to understand them, to get more experience about what people were going through, before he acted.
Accordingly, he decided to create a few more personas in order to gain more knowledge on different topics, as well as more insight into the problems of human nature.
Bob thus created another alter ego, this one dedicated to learning more about the Dark Rizzards and to extend his knowledge regarding more aspects of Humanity. What exactly drove people to embrace, or feel the need for, Dark Rizzardry?
The Shadow Bob would allow him to learn valuable insights regarding how people thought and approached life from a Survival paradigm.
He wanted to get a finger on the pulse of what people who were less privileged were going through… only then could he best provide opportunities that they actually wanted.
At the same time, Bob also created another alter ego as a professional creative artist, Leon Artisté, a kind of Leonardo da Vinci x Michelangelo which would also allow him to gain more human experiences that Core Bob (himself as the original who just wanted a peaceful life), Shadow Bob, Valentine Richést (CEO and Public Face Bob) wouldn't have as much access to.
Bob finally also created an Athletics or Sportstar Bob, since this would also be a way to gain influence was well as detailed knowledge on nutrition, and peak performance which would undoubtedly provide him with incredible gains.
Of course, all this was only possible due to the Core Bob's foundation and hard work. It wasn't like these skills magically appeared, Bob still had to work at them personally.
Still, even if these Avatars didn't reach the peaks of their professions, they would nevertheless still provide Bob with valuable insights and knowledge in order to further his knowledge experiences and accordingly, his genetic plans for success!!!
All this of course had a cost.
As mentioned earlier, the strange irony was… the more Bob learned, the less connected he actually felt to human people.
Imagine entering a room and knowing so much… all of a sudden, Bob would see… too much.
He would see the strengths of people, but also their weaknesses.
He would see their potential, and see easily how they might optimize or improve their lives.
That said, humans were not machines to optimize. They were just… humans.
In a way, everything was perfect for the time. Just like a rose that is not in bloom is no worse than a rose that is in bloom. They are both roses, and everything happens, in hindsight, at the right time, in accordance with the Karmic destiny.
Accordingly, Bob realised that there was no need to 'fix' anyone or anything. All he would do would be to give people options, and then let them make their own choices and their own decisions.
Learn, and then share knowledge, and provide opportunities! This would be the foundation of the third prong, the "Spray and Slay" part of his plans!!!
