Chapter 551: The Hunt Begins (1/2)
While an unlucky assassin was tasked to end the life of our bored gamer, Clark was already in his home and basking in the results of a job well done.
He scrolled on the many comments on his viral video and even read a few to brighten up his evening.
”Barry Fool is the real deal! Not only did he deliver on his promise! He also accomplished it in a very spectacular fashion!”
”Mr. Barry Fool is a magician! He's a powerful sorcerer in a boy's skin!”
”What are you all talking about?! That boy is a god!”
”Are you high or something?! It's clear that this video is fake!” There were also naysayers amongst the good supporters but that only gave a smile to our bored gamer's face.
He did not believe in bad publicity after all.
”This is a great start for me.” Clark nodded and closed his phone thereafter. He tinkered on his laptop next and played some more games for the night.
As the only true immortal in this realm, it was so easy for him to know that someone was coming for his head tonight.
”Hmmm... I guess I could have my 2nd case as a supernatural detective later on.” Our avid gamer thought out loud and began to hatch an epic plan in his mind.
”TAP!”
”TAP!”
”TAP!” After that, Clark enjoyed leveling up once more in an online rpg in this world.

Exactly at midnight, another soul arrived in a secluded estate far away from the city community.
Our bored gamer had particularly chosen this place since it would avail him more freedom to do whatever he wanted.
One of those things was to avoid collateral damage of course as can be seen in how tonight's event unfolded in the aftermath.
”All the lights are still on. It seems like someone has anticipated my coming on this eve.”
A sexy woman in all black murmured while she floated silently unto the domains of our very own protagonist.
She did not have to pass through the ceiling or make forced entry through the windows like a thief but merely arrived at the huge double doors of the mansion.
”CREAK!” The doors opened up on its own even before this elegant assassin could get a few meters from the entrance.
”Just as I thought.” The lady whispered to herself.
A lesser killer would have thought twice before ever continuing in this hasty assassination but alas, there was no such liberties to be had for someone like her.
Should she fail then her bosses in the dark would have known of the abilities of their enemy and would then be better prepared in the next time that they would try.
In the end, this exercise was a win-win situation for her masters. Unfortunately, the same could not be said to this sacrificial pawn in this game of thrones.
”...” The lady in black took a deep breath and she could smell the fresh essence of blood from the only living person inside this colossal home.
She followed the scent and it did not take her long to see the familiar thin and small figure of a little boy.
”I am Katherine Silver and I am here to take your life.” The female assassin in dark sexy clothes announced towards our bored gamer who was still quite busy in his games.
