Bored Gamer in Other Worlds

"...If you defeat/kill/maim/make him/her surrender, you win and you take his place in the list of fools.

HAHAHA! P.S. All powers, abilities, cultivation techniques, curses, technology, etc. available in the world you vanquished shall be at your disposal to do whatever you wish.

6. Don't worry about dying though. As your benevolent Creator, I always see to it to give you another chance in case of failure. Infinite chances in fact.

You die?

No problem!

You'll just be resurrected once more and live your life one more time. Yes, from the start with your memories intact.

And if ever you still want to be the strongest again and eventually reach the top once more, then World Naught will forever be a home you can return to.

7. Good luck!"

"The manner of a child who's having fun and at play. Though his crude words were apparent but still, it diminishes nothing of that person's ability." these were Lin Fan's thoughts after the nameless voice lost its hilarious echoes.

"BANG!"

The heavens quaked and lands gave way to a new birth of creation.

Ten worlds!

Three Immortal Worlds!

And the entire lands of the Era that he brought forth!

This marked the advent of Lin Fan's worlds into this reality. And with it came along its peoples and creatures. Nothing and no one was spared towards this epic moment of ascension.

Lin Fan's eyes blazed with divine light as he scrutinized these worlds with vivid attention. But his focus was gathered primarily towards a hidden realm within an obscure part on these vast lands.

"So it is true." Lin Fan whispered and after another breath, his figure was no more.

He dived beyond time and space to traversed once more back to the earths that abducted him.

World Naught and its myriad of mysteries.

"Welcome back, husband!" a serene face greeted Lin Fan. It was the persona of pure calmness.

That no matter what happened, even if the heavens and earth switched places, that she would still remain a believer to her one and only love, Lin Fan. 

"I'm happy that you're all fine, Qing'er." Lin Fan replied and roamed his vision to the proud daughters that he'd conquered.

Liu Qing

Li Shuang

Chen Bao

Hong Ti

...

And tens of fairies more.

"Come. All of you." Lin Fan called. Tonight indeed he would celebrate with all of his women. For tomorrow shall mark the start of his quest for another answer.

The night passed and every night after became an exercise of euphoria.

Lin Fan and his harem of wives, together with their children, went to explore the vast lands of this alien universe. 

There were breathtaking sceneries and some also radiated the eerie posture of desolation.

But no matter where they went, all spent their days knowing that a sad goodbye loomed at any time the boy in their midst chose to.

They were with nature in this cold cold night and only the rhythmic music from the nearby waterfalls accompanied the family at rest.

"Why can't you just stay, father?" a handsome man asked Lin Fan. 

A man addressing a boy his father would usually cause incredulity upon its listeners, but no, every single soul who heard the question leaned on to wait for the boy to answer.

"Because I am Lin Fan!" was the brief response of the much smaller male.

The handsome man was about to add further but saw a smile appeared on his mother's face and so he paused.

He knew his mother well enough that she would not rest this topic that easy, especially now that it was finally out in the open.

"Husband, you said that we won't suffer an attack if you choose not to challenge the rankings." a daughter of heaven started.

A white gown encased her body and no words could even begin to describe the beauty that blessed her form.

Not only in physique but also a dao heart that would shame even the purest of fairies.

"Hmmmm..." Lin Fan offered no words but only gave a single nod in response.

"And you'll still go, right?"

Another nod came and went.

"Then stay with us for a time. A hundred million years." said the Lady in White.

She was aware that no words could change her husband's decision.

No other woman knew her husband more than she does.

Perhaps only her sister wives but they were not other women so...

The Lady smiled with these thoughts.

And with this one smile, the darkness vanished from the place.

Sparking hues arrived in abundance and it filled everyone with the great emotions of love and yes, understanding.

"A hundred million years it is..." Lin Fan murmured and smiled at his family.

He had just won against a pair of True Immortals and to deny this wish would also be denying himself.

"Let's dance, Qing'er." Lin Fan stood up and went to the first love of his life.

Though many came after her and he had loved them all the same, but...

Qing'er was Qing'er...

No more words needed to be said.

a day

a year

a decade

a century

a millennium

and in a blink, a hundred million years has passed.

"Up! Get up! Now!"

"Up!" a second harsh order came knocking on the door. This was the one that truly woke the slumbering boy up.

The sound of steps followed and after it were the deluge of memories that came rushing like unstoppable waves to mesh into the boy's own. Two sets of memories combined into a solitary soul.

One against another, vying for supremacy inside a single shell. But the one who came was not a simple existence.

It wrestled fiercely for what seemed like billions of years but in truth, only a second breath had elapsed since his arrival.

And on the third, for countless eternities that ensued, the thin scraggly frame of the boy paused its tremors on the floor.

His vision focused upon his next breath and arranged the shredded memories of his soon to be acquainted adversary.
