Chapter 602: Guardians

"Show me my character sheet, Nancy." Clark instructed when he finally got inside his apartment.

He received a spare key for his room and the quest was easy enough with willing women to help him solve his problem.

"DING!"

"Not only did I get a great body, my senses have also sharpened to a superhuman degree." Clark realized the boon of having the Extreme Mortal Physique at this time.

Even his hunger was forgotten because of the profound physique that he acquired. His ears perked and he immediately went to the windows of his apartment.

A dark shadow loomed above and before long, a majestic warship about the size of a thousand feet in length slowly vanished into the heavens.

It did not need telling that this world was really not that simple at all. This planet was called Sabos and was one of the colonies of humanity.

There were myriad dangerous species in this universe and some of the most fearful enemies of the humans were the races Aldris and Thephri.

The Aldris were machines and mech dominators while the Thephri were ugly and brutal lifeforms that could evolve to the most efficient killers and predators in existence.

On the human side of the equation, they had numbers on their side. More than that, they also have many strong heroes which were gifted with myriad abilities and skills.

These lucky men and women were called Guardians. Each and every single one of them enjoyed many benefits solely because of their unique gifts.

They had the full backing of the combined support of the human alliance.

One can only imagine this strength since to date, humanity has already conquered about 10,000 planets in the known universe.

"So what quest should I do first?"

"Gaining strength or getting those ten women?" Clark asked himself after he returned to the comfort of his bed. He then looked at a nearby mirror and judged the quality of his charm.

"With this face alone, it would be hard to get me the top tier women of this realm." Our bored gamer shook his head. Kian Fisher's face was very ordinary indeed.

Any girl would instantly forget him once they see him. This was clearly shown earlier when the 3 ladies in the lobby were all enchanted at his great upper body alone but never on his face.

In fact, the women's demeanor visibly soured when they gazed at his all too common and average face.

"SIGH!" Clark sighed for the umpteenth time. He did not have a favorable hope at all with just this face as his capital.

Thus, he could only seek power first before he could make 10 women fall in love with him.

"Since it's night time already, let me start early in the morning tomorrow." Clark took a deep breath and before long, he slept peacefully in his lonesome.

He knew that he will have busy days after tonight.

Our bored gamer woke up at 7 am and had a sumptuous breakfast thereafter. He ordered food that was enough to feed a dozen big men before he was sated in full.

Clark realized that this was merely the consequences of the changes from the night before.

"I would easily go poor if I continued to have this kind of diet." Clark murmured after he paid his bill.

"I'm lucky that I'll have an upgrade on my status soon enough." Our good gamer could only smile at the stunned figures of the other diners around him.

Clark stood up to escape this funny atmosphere and began walking towards the nearest government facility in the city.

He could have used a phone instead if he had one but he remembered that the last phone he had was left smashed in his office.

Our avid gamer was also too lazy to ask for somebody else's phone at this time. Since he has a big healthy body, he was going to use it properly starting today.

It was not like the trip was going to take him long at all.

"I want to report something important, Officer." Clark said towards a middle aged policeman after a 5 minute walk. He arrived at the city courthouse.

"What is it, boy?" The officer replied in a harsh manner. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the officer.

It might have been home or work related problems but our bored gamer did not care for this middle aged man's plight.

"I acquired a guardian ability last night, Officer." Clark said and this shocked the veteran policeman to his core.

The officer could not say anything for a breath or two before he panicked and almost dropped his communication device from his pockets.

"We have a probable guardian here!"

"I repeat! We have a probable guardian here!" The police officer practically yelled at the speaker.

The excited voice of the man got the attention of the nearby populace and this got some reaction of course.

"WHAT?!"

"A guardian in our world!"

"It has been more than 100 years since our planet Sabos has produced a guardian!"

"This is a blessing to all of us!" The people exclaimed in happy voices. One should know that the homeworld of the guardians also received many benefits alongside their hero.

The yearly allotted budget would rise to at least 5 times for Sabos Planet if it was indeed true that they have a new guardian amongst them.

It was sad to note that there were no longer living guardians or patron heroes that originated from Sabos. This was true of course until now.

Our bored gamer would make history with his rise.

"BOOM!" Only 1 minute passed before a gigantic warship materialized from out of nowhere. It was apparent that the captain of the ship arrived here in haste.

From the ship descended a singular beam of light which dropped 2 men in crisp soldier uniform at the entrance of the court house.

"Where is the probable guardian?" One of the men asked in a hard steel voice.
