Chapter 7: Back to real life (1/2)
The real world was a funny place for Rudra
His reincarnation knowledge was a complete cheat in the game ... however his reincarnation knowledge was a undo ticket in real life
20 years of life taught him the difference between who mattered and who did not, in his 'past life'
He lost touch with his college friends about 2 years after graduation.
His high school friends stayed longer especially fatty Kalash however he never cherished that bond.
He chased after a stupid girl who dumped her the first opportunity when someone better than him showed her interest , funny thing he was actually planning on marrying her .
He lost touch with his brother after he went to highschool
He lost touch with his father about a year after that
The only time they came together as a family was when his mother was critically ill about 10 years from now.
His past was riddled with mistakes but he would never repeat those again
He may not be an overpowered character in real life like he is in the game world
But he considered his real battlefield to be here
To never wrong those who stood by him this life.
Today was the day he would meet fatty Kalash again
they were supposed to meet at the restaurant near their highschool which they frequented previously
Fatty Kalash was the only real friend he ever had who had his back through thick and thin....he once loaned him a 100K dollars his savings of over 5 years at a moments notice when he was facing financial issues ... he was a very simple and easy going guy who would give his all to his friend. A gem a real gem.
He never took fatty Kalash seriously in his last life when he told him that the girl he was dating was a vixen he slapped fatty Kalash and broke all bonds with him but boy o boy was he right!
He was overjoyed as he saw fatty Kalash enter the restaurant, all sorts of emotions welled up inside him but all he could show was a cheeky smile
The smile boys give to their close friends
That half smirk half mocking smile
that seems like it says
”yo a****le”
Fatty Kalash smirked back
” Congratulations you successfully look like a monkeys rear part ” He said as he took a seat
Rudra shuffled his hair .... because he rode his bicycle here the wind ruffled his hair
” Well I do my part to look like the friend of a chubby gorilla ” He retorted
They both looked each other dead in the eyes
Then both bursted laughing.
The ice was broken and the conversation just flowed from there
They talked about everything and nothing over lunch
Fatty was shocked when he heard that Rudra had left his house to live on rent untill he made something of himself, the usually easygoing Rudra was serious about earning money ..... this soothed his mind.
He was secretly always worried about his friend who was immature beyond belief .... he was talented but overall a complete idiot. But that seemed to change today .
Even though he seemed his same carefree self he seemed mature..... much much more mature like someone in his 40's .... not a 21 year old kid.
Fatty too was playing 'Omega' hence their next talk went over to Omega
” Well do you play ' Omega'?”
