Bored Gamer in Other World

At the dawn of the third day while everyone else was sleeping, Clark was still busy tinkering with the system. He was excited by the upcoming journey today.

Especially when the moment that he had been waiting for such a long time was finally close at hand.

"Show me my status, Nancy." Clark instructed the system.

"Affirmative, host."

"DING!"

"Ahhh... It's still taking me so long to finally reach the next level. Is this what they call a bottleneck in cultivation? DAMN! This shit really sucks so much right now!"

Clark cursed to express his disappointment better.

It was a fun run while it lasted and he was leveling up nicely with every hour that passed but by his 39th level, he found quickly enough that the exp that usually garnered him about 100,000 experience per kill trickled to a minuscule 10.

Even now the constant dull beeps has only brought about a reminder of what he had lost today.

Blood Twin has killed a Hell Folk... host has gained 10 xp!

White Wolf has killed a Hell Folk... host has gained 10 xp!

Skeleton has killed a Hell Folk... host has gained 10 xp!

Skeleton has killed a Hell Folk... host has gained 10 xp!

Skeleton has killed a Hell Folk... host has gained 10 xp!

...

Although the countless notifications were almost instantaneous but the exp that Clark received in return made him want to cry on the spot.

"I have been nerfed! This isn't fair! ARRGGGG!" Our bored gamer covered his face with his palms to deny the reality of the situation.

Alas, no matter how much he tried, what he wanted could never be achieved with mere inaction.

"How much time will i wait until i finally reach level 40 and get my 3rd job, Nancy?" Clark asked after he sighed for the umpteenth time.

"You will need at least two years, host." Nancy answered.

"And the next?" Clark continued because he wanted to know when he could achieve the World Traveler Realm.

"At least 5 years, host. And that is after fully considering the growth of your forces also." Nancy replied and Clark could hear the unmistakable sympathy echo in her voice.

"I see. That's sad. Very very sad for me." Clark moaned softly as if he lost his soul after his speculations had been confirmed by Nancy.

He laid on the bed and did not move an inch at all from this position. He may have been in absolute sorrow but that did not mean that his brain stopped functioning inside his head.

After an indeterminate amount of time, our bored gamer finally had a sudden enlightenment!

"What about if I turned all my skeletons to the Summoner Class, Nancy? How much time will that earn me?" Clark queried as he opened his eyes wide with expectation.

He knew that he used the Nimble Kun Peng class to get the absolute speed of farming exp but what if he tried a different path?

An en masse of bodies and summoned creatures that would drown his enemies with sheer number alone!

"Then the time it would take for you to reach the next two levels will decrease by half, host."

Nancy responded and it could be perceived from her voice alone that there was a happy smile mixed within them.

"YES! One year plus two and a half years more until I reach the World Traveler Realm. Much better than before!" Clark congratulated himself for a minute or two before moving on to the next step.

"Transform all my Nimble Kun Peng to Summoners, Nancy!"

"Affirmative, host."

In an unknown battlefield somewhere in this vast xianxia world, a cursed being shrouded in dark robes seated in a throne made out of mangled flesh and bodies.

And all around him were a sea of creatures of different shapes and sizes. Malformed and evil in nature.

This was only one picture of the endless horde of Summoners that sprang in existence in just the span of 10 breaths.

"Hehehe! Farm exp for your master. Go!"

Clark witnessed the scene and could not help but laughed loudly in his room. With his word, the innumerable grotesque figures vanished from the place in search of prey.

"Show me my available skills, Nancy." Since he succeeded in shortening the length of his next level up, Clark proceeded to be more productive with his time.

"Affirmative, host."

"Since I'm going to be staying in this realm for a very long time, there's no need to hold back and save my skill points anymore. Or at least to a few of them."

Clark said once he realized that some of these skills were greyed out still.

It was better to focus on this one class first since he could really not attain higher tiers in other classes because of his limited skill points also.

Thus, our bored gamer decided to spend some of them for the present.

"Upgrade the skills Call of Souls, Death Divination, Curse: Luck Eater, and Curse: Hysteria."

"Affirmative, host. You only have 3 skill points left. Please choose wisely on how to spend them." Nancy announced after heeding the request of Clark.

"Thank you, Nancy. I'll keep those three for now."

"Affirmative, host." Clark sighed deeply and he was glad that that part was over. He looked towards his shop points and realized that he has yet to buy a top tier purchase from the system.

'If not for getting shocked out of my mind because of the recent nerf that happened to me, I would have long ago decided on what goods I will buy from the system.'

'Now three days later and i am still left undecided.' Clark grumbled in his thoughts and looked again at the lengthy descriptions of the said items.

Of course he knew what he was lacking and so perused the physique scriptures in the shop.

Chaos Physique – A Mythical Constitution that can absorb all elements in creation. This is a rare physique that has only appeared two times in the history of...

Yang Physique – A Mythical Constitution which has innate command over all flames and its myriad of changes. Grants immunity to fire elements.

Immortal Physique – A Mythical Constitution that gives immortality to its possessor. All things fade and crumble but the Immortal remains Eternal.

.

..

...

The list went on and on. Below this Mythical Tier that prized its items by 1 million shop points was the Legendary Physiques which only cost 500,000 shop points.

Clark read them all and was surprised time and time again of how amazing the system really was.

After almost 30 minutes of rereading every single Physique Scripture in the Mythical Tier page, Clark stopped in wonder.

"How many in this xianxia world currently possess a Mythical Tier Body Constitution, Nancy?" our good gamer asked.

"None, host." Nancy replied.

'None? Did that mean...' Clark sat up on the bed for the first time since he began. His relaxed position of laying still on the bed was immediately discarded with this new information.

"If i purchase any one of this Mythical Physique, is there anyone else in this world that can still pose a challenge to me?" Clark continued as he felt his heart beating frantically in his chest.

"None, host." Nancy responded calmly once more but the same could not be said to our bored gamer.

"HOLY SHIT!" Clark squealed and a moment thereafter, crazy roars of laughter abounded on these chambers.
