Chapter 445: A Close Shave

Or so our bored gamer thought. It seemed like Doctor Atlas had a whole nother idea at the moment.

"Strong? Perhaps. But it does not matter anyway."

"I just need you to stay there and let me catch you in one piece." Doctor Atlas admonished towards our good gamer's way. A breath later, he honored his words to a tee.

"FLASH!" The doctor's figure vanished in place, only to materialize next to Clark.

'SIGH!'

'Too fast.' Our avid gamer concluded and before he knew it, there was already a syringe on his arms. Its contents well emptied into his veins before he could even give any reaction at all.

A level 7 was truly impossible to fight against with our bored gamer's current power. The speed difference alone was absolutely astronomical.

"..." Clark limbs hardened like stone and he could not even utter a goodbye to his audience. Nevertheless, he did what he had to do next.

'Farewell. I will see you again soon.' Our bored gamer mused inside and wanted to melt away into nothing. Unfortunately, this trick did not work this time around.

'Well... Fuck me!' Clark lamented inside.

"This will be a great specimen to uncover." Doctor Atlas appraised and then Clark's clone body was transported into another world.

"Thank you for your cooperation Agent Lucas and Agent Sophia."

"Your merits tonight will be recorded in the books and i shall pass a good word towards your superior." Doctor Atlas smiled and immediately vanished from the place.

"Why do i have a strong intuition that this will not be the last we see of that lewd monster?" Sophia said to her partner.

She had been an agent in the Empire of Astro for more than one hundred years already but never did she feel this firmly in her guts.

"You and your intuition, Sophia. I just hope that you are wrong for once this time." Lucas replied but had a sinking feeling in his stomach also.

He had been Sophia's partner for more than 30 years already and never has he seen Sophia's intuition ever be wrong.

"Yes. I hope so." Sophia answered weakly but she knew deep inside that it was a lost cause already. She did not say any word next but only faded out from this place and went home.

She was practically naked on one leg but she did not let this burden slow her down.

A breath later, Lucas who was naked from the waist up with his upper armors torn in pieces, also followed suit and left in silence.

In a secret lab somewhere in Astro, a man wearing a lab gown stood frozen in the room.

There was supposedly a handsome man on a white clean table but now everything about the man was gone to nothing.

What was more heartbreaking was that this proficient doctor was about to cut a piece of flesh before the most unexpected thing happened.

Our bored gamer just melted in place without warning or reason.

"An immortal ability? Perhaps a finite life count. Probably not."

"A weak human summon with extraordinary skills in combat."

"At least a peak level 6 expert in strength."

"Most strange of all, someone who appears to grow stronger in such a short period of time." Doctor Atlas began to list what he knew about this very special alien monster.

"I believe that when that weird entity surfaces again, there would be a 99 percent chance that he would have already outmatched me in all aspects of power."

"Oh well... If my speculations would be proven true in time then that won't be my business anymore."

Doctor Atlas thought for some time before he moved on to the next of his experiments.

From his words alone, it was easy to tell that he has high expectations for our bored gamer's progress.

"That was quite a close shave." Clark whispered in his lonesome.

He tried to explode his clone body but found out quickly enough that he lost the ability to do this suicide attempt soon enough.

His body solidified into hard steel because of whatever was injected into it. Luckily, our bored gamer did the next best thing that he could.

He cut a finger in his true body in order to escape this tribulation.

"I was lucky to find out that creating a fresh clone body would immediately negate the previous summon."

"If not, I doubt that I could remain hidden for long with a smart doctor sniffing on my trail." Our bored gamer shook his head and paid no more mind to his recent adventure.

He was very eager to count his gains at this time.

"Can you give me a slice of dragon meat, Nancy?" Clark asked to the system.

It would be stupid to just withdraw an entire dragon corpse into his apartment so he needed the system's assistance to remedy this situation.

"Affirmative, host." Nancy replied at once. A second later and one kilo of freshly cut meat landed on the palms of Clark.

There was blood and all but our avid gamer did not waste his time on trivial things.

"Itadakimasu." Our bored gamer murmured and began devouring the raw meat in full. His head changed into a monster and experienced the changes inside his body.

A rush of extreme vigor flowed from inside his belly unto the rest of his cells. He had been blessed with pure strength as the food began to nourish everything about him.

Clark closed his eyes and refined the power of his prey as his. Alas, this kind of digestion would take a very very long time to finish.

Several hours later and a new day has arrived.

"Good morning, Nancy. I want to get my sign in rewards please." Clark requested the moment he opened his eyes once more.

He stopped refining the 1 kilo dragon meat for a moment in order to get his rewards.

"Affirmative, host."

"DING!"

"Congratulations, host. You have received 1 piece of Letter Opener!" Nancy announced in reply. Clark did not let this sad news bother him. Instead, he was already looking far ahead.

"I wonder what kind of op cheat will i get tomorrow." Our bored gamer smiled and then summoned his true copy to attend the class for him.
