Our bored gamer woke up and it was morning already.

Bang!

​​

Bang!

Bang!

Alas, the battles in the arena did not falter in the least. He looked around him and judging from the sad countenance of the lovely girls nearby, some of them had already tasted defeat earlier.

But this was of no concern to Clark. And so he acted like a perfect mortal, ate breakfast, watched a few matches and slept some more.

He was woken up by a gentle tapping on his shoulders and was shocked when he realized that almost everyone around him threw envious gazes on his way.

'I knew it!' Clark cursed his luck at this time. There was a possibility that something like this could happen after he realized how weird this grand master Azodus was.

Unfortunately for our good gamer, there was no escaping Luna and his girl friends at all.

"What happened?" Clark acted innocent and pure but deep inside he was already cursing the strange middle aged man in the distance.

"Stand up, boyfriend. Grand master Azodus calls you." Luna replied with unbelieving eyes on her face. She still could not wrap her head around this unexpected turn of events.

Just as her guardian Lady Gwen had predicted, she would be the one to win the final assessment this year.

But when grand master Azodus revealed his pick, everyone was surprised when the name Caden Stone rang throughout the entire arena.

Some tried to question this at first, saying that Caden did not even partake in the competition. Alas, all of them were stunned silent the moment grand master Azodus said his reason.

It consisted of two words alone.

Primal Evolver.

Everyone of them were smart souls and thus they knew of the great importance of a primal evolver. This was the strongest of a race.

Even if Caden Stone possessed a funny skill at the moment, only the gods could know how much stronger he would become given the priceless benefit of time.

"Are you willing to become my apprentice, Caden Stone?" The grand master asked and it was clear that he treated our avid gamer akin to a grown man and not as a young boy.

This was a show of respect for one could simply cannot fathom how rare this fortuitous encounter was.

"I - i am not willing, Mr. Peter Pen. I don't want to be a part of whatever this is. I just want to live a normal life, meet a wife that loves me, have three children, and then die of old age.

In peace and no fighting with anyone else." Our bored gamer replied with shaky words. He did not even make eye to eye contact with grand master Azodus.

"Okay then, I will give you some time to reconsider. I hope you treasure this chance well." Grand Master Azodus smiled and then clapped his hands once.

"DING!" Clark then vanished from his place. If everyone was shocked by the rejection of our bored gamer, they were not surprised at all to hear the response of the grand master.

This middle aged man with a balding head has been known for his epic eccentricity for as long as they can remember.

"The final assessment this year has ended. Thank you for everyone's time and participation. I will be glad to see some of you next year. Farewell."

Grand Master Azodus said and slowly walked down from his high seat of honor.

TAP!

TAP!

TAP!

His steps echoed down the winding stairs until it disappeared eventually. The grand master vanished from the arena.

'FUCK ME! And fuck this stubborn trickster!' This was the first thought of our bored gamer when he was transported into a giant library. There were books of all colors and sizes.

Even something that was 10 foot big. It appeared that giants would also frequent this place in their free time.

"Hello?" Clark said and his voice echoed inside this huge library. Unfortunately, no one was there to answer him. To pass the time, he read some of the books.

Especially the ones about the history of humankind. Humans were normal creatures in the past that know nothing about magic and the like.

This was true until a plague visited their lands and made the dead rose to fight against the living. That was the beginning of human's evolution into the unreal.

Wars were waged which birthed to pitiful defeats and costly victories. Alas, the humans overcame all tribulations. Hours passed and Clark continued to read.

"I see that you are fond of knowledge."

"Accept me as your master and i will teach you everything i can." A familiar voice reached the ears of our bored gamer.

"Mr. Peter Pen! Please send me home! I don't want to join in whatever magical world you live in. I'm just a normal boy and i want to live a normal life."

Clark turned around to plead towards the balding principal.

"You don't have that luxury anymore, Caden Stone. Since your name is already recorded in the books, you have become one of us. But I have patience.

You will accept me as your master in time." Grand Master Azodus said and quickly disappeared into nothing.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"COME BACK!" Our bored gamer howled and dropped fake tears unto the floors. Anyone would have been impressed with our very own protagonist's clever acting.

He calmed down a few minutes later and slumped his head on the table.

'It seems like this stubborn old fool has specific requirements to activate his power.'

'But no matter what, i can't ever say yes to his bidding.'

'Else my secret will be uncovered right before his very eyes.' Our bored gamer mused inside. It was easy to deduce the grand master's innate ability.

Azodus could get a little part or the whole skill set of his apprentices.

This was the reason why he had been a teacher all his life even to this day as that was what made him a Mythical Mentor.

The time magic that the grand master has done in the open was the biggest clue of this assumption.

No mere teacher could get this power unless he was called a Time Overlord or something. Alas, this was all based on our good gamer's guesses and nothing more.

But he was not willing to gamble getting caught out with his pants down in consequence.

One should know that if his speculations were true and he accepted the invitation of the grand master then that would spell an end for him since the sexual prowess that he had was not created by any power system in this world but a cheat skill given by the heavenly treasure clay brick.

Thus, this ability simply cannot be copied by grand master Azodus. Clark did not want to end up as an experimental body on the grand master's table.

'Am i correct, Nancy?' Clark tried to get help from his loyal system cheat.

"The system does not know, host." Alas, Nancy's abilities were quite limited as it was. In the end, Clark could only shake his head and ask no more.

'Let us see who is more stubborn between us, you little baldy.'

Our bored gamer cursed the grand master once more before he chose to read once again on the more interesting finds in this library.
