Bored Gamer in Other Worlds

"Money can really solve a lot of problems in this world. It makes life a whole lot more comfortable and fun."

Our bored gamer muttered when he was about to go back into his tiny apartment. But different from the last, he already got the ownership of the White Garden Hotel at this time.

He spent an entire 50 million empire crowns against a competition who can only afford 30 million.

Such an outcome was truly very expected to have between two parties that had this huge disparity of purchasing power.

"Hmmm... I should better call Freya later on. I would need someone very capable who could manage this hotel for me." Our good gamer added this chore in his to do list.

His girlfriend Freya Barnes was not at all stagnant with her money. In the two years that passed, the one hundred million capital on her hands has already grown several folds today.

She became the owner of an up and rising chain of restaurants in Astro. Even a blind man could see that she was not only beautiful but also very gifted in the tough arena of business.

"Now back to refining that monster meat again." Clark smiled as he whistled a happy tune towards his humble room.

In a faraway land, a hot debate was presently ongoing. This was not a tribunal for humans but of monsters of every kind.

There was a kraken, a griffin, a manticore, a basilisk, a roc, Azure Dragon Clan of the East, the Vermilion Bird Clan of the South, the White Tiger Clan of the West, and the Black Tortoise Clan of the North, and many other myriad beasts and clans.

And they were here in trillions of numbers in order to decide a single route for them all. To fight or not to fight.

"Long have the humans devoured our kind in order to nourish their own power. Long have they abused their station.

Now is the time for monsters to rise once again and finish those villainous humans down to the last child! I vote for war!" A level 9 Lion King roared at the end of his words.

"We have been oppressed..."

"Kill all humans!"

.

..

...

A string of ayes rang in the scene. But there were also those amongst them who cherished peace more than the ugly face of war.

"You bunch of hypocrites! We all know why you have summoned this monster race tribunal. This is nothing about justice. But a case of extreme greed unto the territory of others.

You say the humans have eaten our kind but one look at ourselves and one can find easily enough that we are also guilty of this charge.

We kill and eat our enemies in order to improve our power. Some of us even kill our own friends and families so that we can acquire this very same essence of power."

The speaker looked at a particular bear clan as he stopped to prove his point.

"If you are so eager to fight those humans then why don't you go and march towards the cultivator clans in the Immortal Domains.

Those damned cultivators not only eat us but they also have the audacity to make pets of our monster clans. If you want a worthy war, let us do it against those wretched cultivators!

Not against those baby humans who have only started exploring this vast universe for a few eras." The speaker's words touched the heart of many monsters.

There was a pronounced pause before anyone dared to utter a retort. It was obvious that this speaker was quite famous in this monster race.

The speaker was a gigantic evil dog with 9 dog heads on its body. Same as every single person whose voice was heard in this tribunal, this old dog was also a level 9 monster.

"My friend Chaos Fang, I know of your principles. But as you can see, this war is already inevitable. Most of our brethren wanted this to happen.

I hope that your clan will also come with us in our journey for justice. This is for the greater good of our monster race." A tall monkey king broke the silence.

Most of these level 9 monsters were huge and could even reach up to the heights of the clouds with no problem at all.

One can only imagine several trillions of this number that was gathered in one place. They were simply walking catastrophes in the eyes of mortals.

"For the greater good." One monster whispered in a deep voice.

"For the greater good." Another followed and this one was louder than the first.

"For the greater good."

"For the greater good."

"For the greater good."

"For the greater good!"

"For the greater good!"

"For the greater good!"

.

..

...

Before long, the heavens and earth quaked with this single mantra in the mouths of monsters and beasts.

Thus, while our bored gamer was busy cultivating, he did not know that fate was about to add another difficult obstacle to his plans.

Somewhere in the heart of humanity, 3 old friends met once again. One was a middle aged man who was obviously lacking most of his hair at this time.

Another was a woman who has yet to open her eyes in this meeting. And the last one was a gentle warrior who wore ancient broken armors on his body.

"Why have you summoned us, Jasmine?"

"Did you perhaps miss the two of us, old boys?" The middle aged balding man asked in jest. This was a very different persona than what he was used to showing to the world.

"I have seen a great threat coming for us on all sides."

"I foresee the death of many, Graham." Jasmine replied and did not open her eyes at all.

"Tell us more." The warrior spoke and the 3 of them conversed for a time. In the end, a deafening silence visited in their midst and the atmosphere of doom was rather palpable to the senses.

"Great! There's only a million of us who can fight while the enemy has countless millions of bodies to throw at us. If the plan is to run away before they even get here then I'm all for it!"

Grand Master Azodus was the first one to utter his opinion.
