Bored Gamer in Other World

"Do you find me beautiful, Kian?" Cora asked the moment she arrived before our bored gamer.

She wanted to be sophisticated and cool in her delivery but alas, she appeared quite awkward indeed when she added some lip biting in the act.

Her innocence in the art of seduction failed horribly but this was her way in pushing her advantage. After all, Cora knew who the real big boss in this cage really was.

"Of course!" Clark answered like a true simp at this time.

But if truth be told, our good gamer had seen more enchanting women in the past. Luckily, there was no reason to say that of course.

Since he needed to find 10 lovers in this realm, he would grab at the earliest opportunity he could get. More than that, he could also see the green tag at the top of Cora's head.

It was easy to see that she was indeed a kind soul beneath all her epic externals. And this curiosity prompted our avid gamer to dig deeper into the past of this fine and attractive girl.

"Why were you sent to this place, Cora?" Clark asked. The lovely girl paused for 10 seconds or so until she took a deep breath before answering.

"It's a long story." Cora had a sad smile on her pretty face.

"Do tell. As you can see, I'm not very busy today." Our bored gamer grinned and led his prospective lover to sit down with their backs against the cold walls.

Cora obliged and began to tell her story. It turned out that she belonged to a rich family.

She ran more than a thousand fast food restaurant chains in her home world before her incarceration.

Unfortunately, a thief from the main family scammed trillions of Alliance Credits from a lot of people.

To avoid shame, the old leaders of the family decided to pass the crime and blame to a faraway relative. Thus, Cora was the unlucky winner of the draw.

She was the most fitting candidate since she was the most successful above all.

Cora would have tried to fight this legal battle in court but alas, the main family resorted to kidnapping Cora's parents and siblings.

This was the reason why she pleaded guilty to all charges at once. It was really sad to be the subject of such a tragedy. Cora ended telling her tale with a somber expression on her face.

The victims of the scam wanted their money back but all Cora could say to them was, "I'm sorry".

Her assets had been frozen and confiscated by the government but that was not enough to pay them all.

It was a mere drop in an ocean of trillions of debt that was blamed upon her innocent soul.

Perhaps the only silver lining in this drama was knowing that Cora's family was safe and unharmed after she confessed to the crimes that she did not commit.

For Cora, this was more than enough consolation.

"Ahhh... You have been dealt a bad hand in life." Clark shook his head at the injustice of the system.

Power corrupts the souls of men and women alike and he knew this more than anybody else in the room.

"Yes but this truth doesn't matter anymore."

"I already accepted my fate." Cora whispered and there was a long silence that followed between them.

But that did not mean at all that a prisoner population of more than 100,000 could be quiet at this time.

There were ongoing parties around and the same lively orgies persisted for a long long time.

"What's the name of this prison, Kian?" Cora tried to alleviate the mood by knowing more about her surroundings.

Since this was also our bored gamer's first day in this warship, he needed to ask some guidance from his all knowing system cheat.

'Does the prisoners know that they are to be delivered to the jaws of some of the nastiest monsters in this universe, Nancy?' Clark asked in the stillness of these thoughts.

"Negative, host. All they know is that this is already their prison cell for life." Nancy replied.

'This is stupid. With men and women together, this population could explode given time.' Clark commented in reply.

"This is no longer a problem, host. The food in this place is laced with a powerful substance that would make anyone sterile in just a week of continued taking." Nancy informed.

'Smart. Thank you, Nancy.' Clark nodded once and halted his communication with the system.

"We are in Jail 26771, Cora." Our bored gamer answered after a few seconds.

He deliberately took out the Bird in the name since that would be an obvious giveaway that this might be a warship and not a stationary rock in the middle of space.

One could only imagine how advanced the anti gravity technology of the Alliance was at this time. No one ever felt a bump or a tremble at all amidst space flight.

In addition, Clark was also aware that many eyes and ears were on them at this time. He definitely did not want to cause panic in these thousands of souls.

Hope was a mighty thing after all. Take that from anybody and what would be left behind would only be empty husks of defeated wills.

"And how long are you going to stay here with us?" Cora queried once more. She feared the day when a new guardian would come and replace our good gamer eventually.

"I just got here today but I know that I'm going to be here for a long long time to come." Clark answered which comforted the turbid feelings of the beautiful woman at his side.

Dinner came and 200 more additional prisoners arrived one after another.

But since there was no concept of time under the undying lights overhead, it would be better to call the occasion to just be another meal in the ship.

The process was also smooth since all anyone needed to do was ask the ship ai and a room filled with a myriad of foods would open at the walls.

Although anyone could eat anytime but the majority loved the sense of community in this place. Thus, most of the prisoners ate at the same time.

"This is like an open bunker of instant food." Clark was amused at what he found. The food to choose from was already cooked in full and was in fact steaming in freshness.

He got 2 big trays of meat and 1 spicy soup and then he began digging in for sustenance. 

It did not take long for everyone nearby to get wide eyed in shock at our very own protagonist's bottomless appetite.

"What the fuck?!" A man could not help but utter.
