Bored Gamer in Other Worlds

Our bored gamer needed to backtrack since he had already gone far ahead than the warship.

He could of course just wait for them in place but that would take him at least 2 years before he could see the shadow of Jailbird 26771. Thus, Clark decided to rejoin his former space mates.

A second was all it took for him to arrive in his destination.

"BOOM!" The warship halted in space but the 55,000 passengers inside had not at all noticed this fact.

"DING!" A pillar of light descended unto the stationary body of our good gamer and before long, he was directly transported into the ship.

"KIAN!" Nicole shouted in delight and the rest followed in welcome.

"Sir Guardian!"

"We're happy to see you again, Sir!"

"I told you so! Guardian Kian Fisher would always keep his word no matter what!" The prisoners laughed and rejoiced as one.

In the time that they had been together, they had already become accustomed to rely on the strong guardian in their midst.

"Where is Little Black, Kian?"

"I don't see him anywhere around." Cora said when she did not notice the presence of our avid gamer's cute pet.

"Little Black will arrive shortly." Clark replied to this query. If truth be told, he really did forget about his little friend while he was busy chasing after the shadows of Dark Crow earlier.

Our bored gamer used his divine sense to contact Little Black and also did the same towards his new slave Dark Crow.

He added another command to the latter which would basically entailed the freedom of the Misara Race.

Unfortunately, he could only confine them to a world in the Thephri dominion for now.

'It would be stupid of me to release the Misara into the open.'

'They are weak and there is a big chance that they would only get exploited by the other sentient races.' Clark mused and could only offer this much to the unfortunate race.

He knew that this was only a temporary solution to the problem. Little Black rejoined 3 months later into the group.

"Master! It's very good to see you again!" Little Black greeted and bowed in place.

"You had a rough trip, Little Black." Clark said to his pet. Being only a level 5 monster was really hard on Little Black.

It was easy to see that his speed was terribly slow compared to our avid gamer who could instantly shuttle in the void.

"It was nothing, master. Flying in space was fun compared to being holed up underground for several millions of years."

Little Black's humor was dry and it did nothing but only made him remember about the hardships that he endured in the duration.

The Misara race was lucky since they were beings with extreme mental toughness. If not, they would have long yielded into madness or worse.

"Are you ready for another round of flying then?" Clark asked with a smile.

"I am at your command, master! Just point the way and your able slave shall brave the darkest corners of the universe to fulfill your wishes!" Little Black used some poetic touch to his words.

"Hehehe. I have nothing fancy in mind, Little Black."

"I only want to tell you that your race has been freed."

"If you want, you could rejoin them again today." Clark stated unto his pet.

"..." Little Black visibly shivered and the audience around him could have sworn that he would faint in a breath or two. But nothing of the sort happened.

Little Black was made of better stuff than what everyone had imagined.

"Can I really?" Little Black whispered in disbelief.

He was afraid that this was only a twisted joke played at his expense but then he remembered all our bored gamer's actions since their first meeting.

Little Black would define his master as extremely strong, confident, and merciless to his enemies but he could never apply the tag of a cruel jester unto his owner.

Thus, from hesitation came hope then excitement. All these emotions were plainly seen on the graphic expressions on Little Black's squid face.

"Of course." Clark nodded and witnessed the immeasurable gratitude of Little Black.

"MASTER!" Little Black hugged one of our bored gamer's feet and then bawled like a baby. He did not cry when he was released from his prison world but now he did.

It was obvious that Little Black cherished his entire race more rather than brooding on his own fortune.

Thus, Little Black poured everything at this moment. It took a long long time before his tears stopped from falling.

After untold years in captivity, this moment was totally long overdue.

"As we speak, I have already ordered the Thephri to relocate your race to a single world, Little Black." Clark started to tell after Little Black calmed down several hours later.

"Yes. The Thephri now belongs to me also." He clarified when he saw the surprised face of his pet.

"You can choose to go there and rejoin your race or you can stay here with me." Clark added after a beat. He then paused to await the decision of his pet.

"I owe you my life and freedom, master. But I wish to see them all once more." Little Black used his natural voice in the first sentence but then the second one turned into a mere whisper.

One should know that Little Black's oldest memory had been together with his race. Playing, eating, and yes delivering countless lives in the aftermath.

The Misara could have brought myriad lives but there was one thing that they could not do. They could never create another Misara monster into existence.

Or at least they have never yet achieved something like that. The same concept also followed in procreation.

The Misara race could make love but they could never bear any offspring of their own. Thus, it was obvious that everyone knew everyone in this kind of civilization.

"I understand, Little Black."

"I will allow you to see them."

"But I will have to trouble you with a quest." Clark said towards his pet.
