Bored Gamer in Other Worlds

It was after all just another way to conquer the natural domain and wield it freely as his own. Myriad of processes yet delivered the same exact result.

"Time to test things out." Lin Fan thought and looked for a secluded place, fitting for what he had in mind. After more or less thirty minutes of walking, the boy arrived at an empty park.

And in that duration he had experienced firsthand one of the peculiarities of Barry's life. The mystery of people bowing and shaking his hand out of nowhere.

One man had indeed done that earlier. An unknown person saluted once before he quickly vanished the moment Lin Fan blinked his eyes.

"The disappearing strangers." Lin Fan noted fondly. He sat on a nearby swing and rode a gentle rhythm on the wind.

Of course he'd have wanted to sit in a lotus position and meditate but that would be weird if he did that out in the open.

But since he was a Supreme Existence, this repeated rocking on the swing would recreate the same effect just fine. Cultivation was after all a state of mind first and foremost.

Lin Fan closed his eyes and breathed in the freshness of the air. And by his second breath, everything turned inconsequential but the sound of his own breathing.

In and out.

In....

Out....

In…

Out…

In..

Out..

In.

Out.

In

Out

And after an indeterminate amount of time, a voice rang out together with its shadowed form.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked when he noticed the voice first then the shadow next to a bald man.

"You can call me Lord Vod. What's your name, Soul Eater?" the man of shadows replied.

"Soul Eater? You are mistaken, Lord Vod. I am no Soul Eater."

"Then how did you cont... Who are you?" Lord Vod changed his words in mid speech.

"Hmmm... You will know of me soon enough, Lord Vod." Lin Fan smiled and opened his mouth wide.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" These were the last words of the bald man who loved to hide beneath the veil of shadows.

"A tasty fruit." Lin Fan muttered as he opened his eyes. And a breath later, the lightning shaped scar on his forehead was rapidly disappearing from view.

The next five seconds marked the last of its mar on Lin Fan's face.

"So this is a world where supernatural people abound but they are in hiding. Interesting." Lin Fan whispered before his form vanished in a puff of smoke.

When he reemerged, he saw lovely parents looking at their son as he opened his birthday gifts one by one. The trio didn't even notice his advent.

Lin Fan looked at the scene in amusement but sadly, he had to make his presence known already. They could do that later on their own time.

But now he had something he wanted and that took precedence than any other thing in this world.

"I'm hungry. Care to feed me some breakfast?" Lin Fan asked and behind him rose a pair of sharp knives as it twirled round and round in an epic display of control and yes, even artistry. Not threatening at all.

A thin woman, a fat man, and a healthy child. Three souls could only gaze at this spectacle of power with eyes wide opened.

The family of three would have wanted to shout and plead for their lives but alas, the knives returned to whence they came a breath later.

The stern and menacing eyes of Lin Fan changed thereafter. There was doubt and question inside those pupils and it mirrored what was happening inside his soul at this time.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked in a solemn voice. He could feel that something or someone was eating his soul from the inside.

He tried to fight it but it was over before he could ever put up a struggle in resistance. He was a Supreme Existence and thus he knew that true death was nigh for him today.

Whoever was doing this to him, he was simply helpless to do anything else but accept.

"I am no one." A voice answered and before long, all that was Lin Fan finally vanished unto the next cycle of reincarnation.

"SIGH!"

"This thing never really gets any easier after all." The voice uttered in the silence of his soul. This voice has of course belonged to none other than our very own protagonist.

He has descended unto this new world and killed another soul in the process of his arrival.

"Time to get acquainted with this world." Clark decided as he stood on wobbly legs. It took him only several breaths before he got full control of his faculties.

Lin Fan and Barry were no more and what replaced both of them was our bored gamer Clark Colter.

"Can i have some breakfast now, Aunt Rosalie?" Our good gamer asked gently when he felt the nagging call of his belly.

"..." The thin woman named Rosalie merely nodded and pointed at the food on a nearby table. The image of the flying knives earlier was still very fresh on her mind.

"Thank you." Clark smiled and without ado, helped himself for a sumptuous breakfast. The body that he got now was still so young. No more than 10 years old in fact.

He has need of much growing old indeed at this time. Our bored gamer finished his meal fast and immediately returned to his small room.

It was a bad environment to be in but Clark did not mind such trivial matters at all. He has more important business to attend to right now.

'Do I really have to attend the rankings, Nancy?' Our avid gamer asked his handy system. If that were to be so then he would have spent countless trillions of years in this realm. 

The only one who could have arranged this whole thing was a true god in the Divine Realm.

That true god might have taken a liking to this particular mortal universe and as thus, orchestrated this convoluted game for the newly ascended immortals.

"Negative, host. You only need to conquer this world and then you can easily go to the next realm afterwards." Nancy replied promptly.

'I see. Then that would make things easier for me indeed. Thank you, Nancy.' Clark smiled and then began to inquire about the additional quests that his partner had for him.
