Bored Gamer in Other World

If not, then it didn't matter also. He would not cheat on Heaven even if they were literally worlds apart at the moment.

"The system has already purchased it within moments of your arrival, host. Please go outside and..." Rake did exactly what was instructed. Beyond the door was a world that defied his imagination.

Not that he hasn't seen something like it. No. He had seen visions like this one in his past world but they were only in video games and movies.

And as a pro gamer himself, Rake was extremely acclimated to several worlds different from reality.

"What is this place called?" Rake murmured.

"You are in the Holy City of the Lost Sages, host."

"Holy City. Hmmm." Rake repeated the words as he was stunned on his spot. There were dragons above and they came on different colors and sizes.

And that's where Rake halted his knowledge on what he witnessed on the myriad of creatures on the horizon.

Aside those serpentine beings were a whole breed of unknown monsters.

"What are they doing? Are those their designated parking area?" Rake asked himself. You were about to wonder some more but a voice called out for your attention.

"Do you have a penny, mister? Please spare me some. I haven't eaten since yesterday and I'm so hungry." Rake looked around and his vision stopped on a cute little girl.

Well, she might have been cuter if she'd been fatter here and there but clearly, malnutrition had plagued her body for a time. Rake checked his pockets and found it empty.

"What's your name? And where's your family?" Rake asked to hide his embarrassment.

"I'm called Lani, mister. My parents died when i was young. But i have brothers and sisters with me. Will you give me money, mister?" the little girl answered softly.

"Can you give me money?" Rake asked his unseen partner.

"Affirmative, host." and that was all Rake needed to hear.

"Come, Lani. I will treat you and your siblings to eat later but first, i need to go someplace else. Do you want to go with me?" Rake offered with a smile.

"Thank you, mister." Lani replied in a sad voice.

"But my older brother always reminds me to not go with strangers. Can you just give me money right now?" such pitiful words broke Rake's heart.

"Okay, Lani. Wait a second." Rake reached for his pockets again but slowly this time in order to buy some time.

"How much does food here cost?" Rake addressed the system.

"A single loaf of bread would be priced at 1 copper coin."

"Give me 100 copper coins!" Rake commanded at once.

"Are you sure, host? There are s..." the system started.

"Yes, i'm sure." but Rake interrupted midway.

"Affirmative, host."

"Here you are, Lani. That's 100 copper coins. Give that your older brother, okay? And don't let other people see it."

"Thank you, mister!" Lani smiled sweetly and ran away quickly after she got the heavy sack of coins into her little palms and hid it in beneath her tattered dress.

Rake who saw the agile foot of the small lady, smiled through it all. It was good to be so wise at such a young age.

But his heart went out for little Lani because the circumstances had honed her to be that way.

"She should be playing with children her age and have the time of her life at her age." Rake ended his thought with this and began walking towards the direction the system had given him.

But he had not even got to his second step before his right leg halted in midair.

"System Reminder... You now have a total of 1,100,000,000 shop points on your accounts payable, host. Please work hard and good luck!"

"What are you talking about?!" Rake roared the question out. There were people who gazed on his way and he had no choice but to turn around and took a few steps back to where he came from.

To the comforts of whatever this building was called. But Rake did not return inside and just stayed on the side of the structure.

He observed the citizens of this city as they wore robes akin to what he imagined cultivators would don. At least the artists that portrayed the authors characters hadn't made the mistake on that part.

"What are you talking about?" Rake asked once more. Just with his mind this time.

"The system has granted you a second loan of 10,000,000 shop points, host. Corresponding interest was stated previously."

"How come it became 10 million shop points?! I only wanted a hundred copper coins!" Rake raged in his mind.

With this much debt, he wondered how long he'll be able to pay it back and go home to the loving arms of his girlfriend.

"The host cannot decide his borrowed amount and the loan borrowings can only go exponentially each time.

The system has tried to inform the host about the danger and benefits earlier. But since the host agreed by his own will, the system has no fault in following the command that it was given."

"Please tell me that a hundred copper coins does not equal to 10,000,000 shop points." Rake leaned on the solid walls on what appeared to be a laundry house.

"Affirmative, host. It does not. You still have 9,999,999 shop points at the moment."

"Good. Then let's be on our way so that i could start redeeming those points back." Rake sighed and started his journey once more.

He passed by dilapidated homes and commercial buildings, if that term would be applicable to the scenery. The place was truly disgusting even for him.

It was like everywhere he looked was a picture of a crowded marketplace. The smell was horrible and he just realized it now that he was used to his own current filthy odor.

It was fifteen minutes into the walk that he understood that his restaurant was going to be within the slums. Rake lamented at his fate.
