Bored Gamer in Other Worlds

"I'm finally free from everyone. No more Luna and her gang. No more little baldy. And i won't see that annoying Harley ever again."

Our bored gamer muttered as he was on his way to enroll in one of the biggest universities in Rodon City, if not the biggest. This was of course the Astro Empire University.

Since this was an empire sponsored school, it was expected that they would have the most population of students of all. This never bothered Clark at all.

He passed high school with flying A pluses and thus secured his slot as a full time scholar in the next stage of his academic path.

Although our good gamer could always go to private schools because of his filthy rich status at the moment but there was no need at all for such needless things.

Clark was the most practical man he knew and so he retained this rare quality even through the myriad eons that passed him by.

An old soul like him would find it very hard indeed to adopt change in this late stage of immortally.

"Caden D. Stone, First Year Accountancy Student, Block C." Our avid gamer read the description on his enrollment script and shrugged in nonchalance in the next moment.

Caden always dreamed of being rich and so the fat young man has ever wanted to become good with numbers and money. This was the reason why he chose this course to begin with.

"New beginnings are always great to have." Clark smiled as he burned down the school pathways with his cool strides.

With a big guy like him, he was bound to get the attention slash ridicule of many but our bored never minded how these weak innocent mortals would think of him.

Live and let live.

This was an epic quote to ponder upon.

Alas, just when our good gamer thought that everything was all perfect and dandy for him, a familiar voice woke him out from his early and hasty celebration.

"Master?" A hesitant call came from behind our very own protagonist. Even without turning, Clark recognized the owner of this voice all too clearly.

'FUCK ME!' Clark cursed inside and instead of stopping, he continued to walk as if he did not hear this unwanted voice in the first place.

TAP!

TAP!

TAP!

Quick steps sounded from the back and before our bored gamer could escape from his hunter, a high pitched sound grated his ears to the reality of his situation.

"Your loyal disciple greets you, master!" A thin almost sickly looking young man barred the path of our good gamer. He got thick glasses on and a heavy bag on his back.

Thick books saddled his hands in addition to his already overburdened weak body. Instead of getting irritated, Clark felt pity towards this young dreamer.

Our bored gamer shook his head and then took a deep sigh thereafter.

"This sect master acknowledges your presence. You are a good disciple of mine, Ben Turner." Clark said in all sincerity to the bowed form of this poor geek.

"It is my honor to serve you, master. Many of our sect members have also chosen to attend this university. They will be happy to see you later, master!"

Ben smiled as he corrected his stance to a more natural way.

'SIGH!'

'I should have realized that these nerds will also go to Astro Empire University.'

'These bunch are also fully funded academic scholars like Caden.' Our bored gamer chastised himself inside but sought a silver lining amidst this very unforeseen tribulation.

'Well at least my 4 years in this university will not turn out to be dull for me at all.' Clark smiled and got a little reward from his inventory space.

"I have no doubt that they will, Disciple Ben."

"Here... take this. It's a gift from your master."

"A special bonus to start this school year." Our bored gamer lent a single perfect white piece of item unto the hands of Ben Turner.

"What is this magical grant, master?" Ben stayed on the act as his eyes widened in awe to see something that he had considered as mere sweets in the first place.

"Your eyes did not play tricks on you, Disciple Ben."

"That is indeed only candy and nothing more."

"A piece of advice though, don't eat it in school."

"Do it someplace that is a little bit private." Clark said and then left with his fat chubby hands on his back.

He was a picture of a supreme expert that Ben Turner almost knelt in place in his presence. Nevertheless, Ben bowed deeply and honored his great master thereafter.

"Thank you for this boon, master!" Ben did an actor's homage and heard the bouts of laughter at the sides. He was used to it already and thus ignored it easily.

'I pity these mortal's ignorance.' Ben thought in silence and this role playing game has indeed helped him cope with how boring and simple his life was at the moment.

It may only be an illusion for now but Ben has extreme faith that everything shall change for the better someday.

And so with a brave heart, Ben Turner straightened his back and carried his burden, bags, books, thick glasses and all, into an exciting future that only he alone can see at the moment.

"Ahhhh... Although it was only the first day in school but our teachers are already dumping us with unimaginable requirements!"

"And here i thought that college life would be easier." Ben complained even as he was burning his brows in reading his new books in advance.

This was normal for someone who did not want to lose his scholarship in the university. A young dreamer studied and learned until a beat away from midnight.

It was then that Ben remembered the gift of his master.

"I wonder what Caden has given me earlier?" Ben Turner mused as he was about to brush his teeth.

With a tired shrug of his shoulders, he found the thing in question and without ado, put it in his mouth. An indescribable fragrance melted on his tongue and Ben passed out a breath later.

He would be in a huge surprise the moment he opened his eyes again. Thus started a new phase in Ben Turner's life.
