Bored Gamer in Other World

"I... can't." Zoe paused for a bit and then shook her head. It was clear that there was hesitation in both her actions and words.

"You are not a very good liar, Zoe."

"Has anyone ever told you that already?"

"But no matter, I have my ways on how to solve this." Our bored gamer said and asked for help from someone else.

'Please take full control over this ship for me, Nancy.' Clark requested towards his most loyal system cheat.

"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied and there was a moment of silence next. At the 30th breath, she reported the completion of her task in not so many words.

"The system has successfully hacked into Jailbird 26771." Nancy stated in a happy voice.

'Well done, Nancy. Thank you very much!' Clark praised his longtime assistant and the doors of the warship opened thereafter.

"DING!" The huge doors were seen and then the entire ship came next. It was obvious that the cloaking device was deactivated at this time.

"You can all go inside now!" Our bored gamer called towards the 55,000 people left in the scene. The boarding was easy enough but Clark did not go in with the masses.

He still got some stuff to do before coming back into the Alliance Territory.

"You should also go, Nicole."

"I'll catch up with the ship in no time." Clark said to his only lover in this world.

"But why do you need to go?"

"Can't I come with you?" Nicole asked one after another. She knew that our bored gamer was keeping a lot of secrets from her but she was not one to pry deeply at this time.

"It's too dangerous."

"I promise I'll be quick." Our bored gamer shook his head to deny Nicole's wish. With his limited powers, he really cannot promise the safety of Nicole.

It would have been better if he possessed an elemental shield or something but alas, such a thing can only be dreamed of today.

"Okay." In the end, Nicole understood our avid gamer's difficulty. Clark kissed her one last time before a red hue appeared at the sole of his feet.

Before long, a young man and an old slimy monster were gone from everyone's eyes. A few minutes after that, a warship then launched into space and back to whence it came.

"Sir, there's an urgent report from the Science and Research Department!" A running man arrived in panic. There was only one lone occupant in the luxurious office.

It was clear that this was the place of someone very rich, powerful, and influential. In short, a big boss in the Alliance.

"Science and Research Department? Very well, let them come." A middle aged man said without looking at the gasping assistant.

He was busy looking for something inside the drawer of his table.

"The message is marked by the code name Sleeping Demon, Sir." The assistant whispered in reply.

"BANG!" The drawer was shut hard and the middle aged man instantly stood up from his chair.

"Tell the captain that we're going up in ten!" The boss ordered in a hard voice.

"Yes, Sir!" The assistant saluted and immediately reached for the phone in his pockets. An hour later and a battleship could be seen landing in the middle of nowhere.

"This better be good, Miss Powell."

"The matter about the Sleeping Demon is not one to be taken lightly." The middle aged man said harshly towards an extremely beautiful woman in his midst.

"I understand, Sir. But you will soon forgive me after you see this clip." The woman replied. This was of course none other than the real Zoe Powell in this world.

"DING!" The video started and only two souls were privy to the contents of the recording. The scenes were quite realistic in the 500 inches room projection before them.

After some time, the middle aged man could not help but tremble in place. He could not believe what he had seen at all.

"How many people have seen this already?" He asked in a hard voice. The trembling stopped and it was obvious that he had already regained her composure at this time.

"Not many, Sir. Only you and me so far." Zoe replied honestly.

This middle aged man was her greatest backer and the reason why she has much leeway in the Science and Research Department. It would be stupid to lie to her sponsor and benefactor.

This man's name was Theodore Kelly and was the current Head of the Department of War.

"Good. Let's keep it that way." Theodore nodded in response.

"Tell me everything about what happened in your mission." He ordered in the next moment.

Before long, Zoe gave her full review about how she had come to meet a guardian named Kian Fisher and everything that followed in the journey.

"Why was there a guardian on that ship?" Theodore had this curiosity after the report.

Although he allowed for this operation to happen but he never recalled sending any guardian inside that death mission.

"It's a long story, Sir. It seems like Kian Fisher has offended Governor Stanley Ryan.

Particularly the son of the governor, Marcus Ryan, during his guardian training and so the good governor stationed Kian Fisher into Jailbird 26771 as his first guardian outpost." Zoe answered.

"A smart ploy by my friend indeed." Theodore praised the handicraft of the politician.

He personally knew Stanley Ryan since they had been together during guardian training in their youth.

The latter just moved up into the arena of politics from just being toy soldiers in the face of war. Theodore quickly followed some of the most pressing questions of all.

"How would you describe this man Kian Fisher?"

"What do you think are his feelings about the Alliance?"

"Tell me more about the space item that he carries."

.

..

...

Theodore listed off these queries one by one until he finally arrived at the last.

"Why did you use the code name Sleeping Demon, Zoe?" Theodore could not help but wonder.

"I thought that Kian Fisher was him, Sir. Am I wrong?" Zoe replied and both lapsed in a long silence thereafter.

It did not need telling that Theodore also has no idea about the answer to this question.
