Chapter 455 Chapter 455 College Life
"I'm finally free from everyone. No more Luna and her gang. No more little baldy. And i won't see that annoying Harley ever again."
Our bored gamer muttered as he was on his way to enroll in one of the biggest universities in Rodon City, if not the biggest. This was of course the Astro Empire University.
Since this was an empire sponsored school, it was expected that they would have the most population of students of all. This never bothered Clark at all.
He passed high school with flying A pluses and thus secured his slot as a full time scholar in the next stage of his academic path.
Although our good gamer could always go to private schools because of his filthy rich status at the moment but there was no need at all for such needless things.
Clark was the most practical man he knew and so he retained this rare quality even through the myriad eons that passed him by.
An old soul like him would find it very hard indeed to adopt change in this late stage of immortally.
"Caden D. Stone, First Year Accountancy Student, Block C." Our avid gamer read the description on his enrollment script and shrugged in nonchalance in the next moment.
Caden always dreamed of being rich and so the fat young man has ever wanted to become good with numbers and money. This was the reason why he chose this course to begin with.
"New beginnings are always great to have." Clark smiled as he burned down the school pathways with his cool strides.
With a big guy like him, he was bound to get the attention slash ridicule of many but our bored never minded how these weak innocent mortals would think of him.
Live and let live.
This was an epic quote to ponder upon.
Alas, just when our good gamer thought that everything was all perfect and dandy for him, a familiar voice woke him out from his early and hasty celebration.
"Master?" A hesitant call came from behind our very own protagonist. Even without turning, Clark recognized the owner of this voice all too clearly.
"What is this magical grant, master?" Ben stayed on the act as his eyes widened in awe to see something that he had considered as mere sweets in the first place.
"Your eyes did not play tricks on you, Disciple Ben."
"That is indeed only candy and nothing more."
"A piece of advice though, don't eat it in school."
"Do it someplace that is a little bit private." Clark said and then left with his fat chubby hands on his back.
He was a picture of a supreme expert that Ben Turner almost knelt in place in his presence. Nevertheless, Ben bowed deeply and honored his great master thereafter.
"Thank you for this boon, master!" Ben did an actor's homage and heard the bouts of laughter at the sides. He was used to it already and thus ignored it easily.
'I pity these mortal's ignorance.' Ben thought in silence and this role playing game has indeed helped him cope with how boring and simple his life was at the moment.
It may only be an illusion for now but Ben has extreme faith that everything shall change for the better someday.
And so with a brave heart, Ben Turner straightened his back and carried his burden, bags, books, thick glasses and all, into an exciting future that only he alone can see at the moment.

"Ahhhh... Although it was only the first day in school but our teachers are already dumping us with unimaginable requirements!"
"And here i thought that college life would be easier." Ben complained even as he was burning his brows in reading his new books in advance.
This was normal for someone who did not want to lose his scholarship in the university. A young dreamer studied and learned until a beat away from midnight.
It was then that Ben remembered the gift of his master.
"I wonder what Caden has given me earlier?" Ben Turner mused as he was about to brush his teeth.
With a tired shrug of his shoulders, he found the thing in question and without ado, put it in his mouth. An indescribable fragrance melted on his tongue and Ben passed out a breath later.
He would be in a huge surprise the moment he opened his eyes again. Thus started a new phase in Ben Turner's life.
