Inside the ancient sword relic of a nameless World Traveler Senior where the Demonic Sword Sect laid in secret, our bored gamer opened his eyes for a moment.
With how limitless his divine sense had become since he arrived in the True Immortal Realm, it was child's play for him to scour the vast expanse of this xianxia universe.
It did not even take a single breath for him to note of the myriad changes around him and he sure did not like what he heard in the faraway distance of the cosmos.
"I can smell evil in this world."
A female voice echoed and it did not take long for countless divine senses to scour towards the isolated location of one lady and a huge gaping maw of one epic black hole around her.
Alas, almost everyone was ignored save a particular lone spot in the vast space of this current reality.
"BANG!" The figure of this 10 foot goddess blurred in a line as she has not wasted even one moment to complete her quest.
Her speed was indeed unimaginable! But more than that, what stunned the gathered Immortals who witnessed her advent was the eerie contrast of her current cultivation realm.
"How could this be?"
"But she is only at the 1st Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm!"
"How could she move that fast?!"
"Another monster has come into our world!"
"Why did it have to be this way?!" Some olden Immortals shivered as they were not blind fools to not notice the strangeness of this newcomer.
And to think that she has arrived in but mere days of the god slayer that they only knew of as Young Master Clark, no one was stupid enough to think that the two were not somehow connected in one way or another.
Alas, these Ancient Immortals were indeed wise in arriving at such a conclusion but our good gamer has wanted to think of this convoluted plot as nothing but mere coincidence and no further.
"She must be here for someone else's and not for me. I am most definitely right. I could not think how I could have offended such an op woman.
I'm just here having the time of my life and enjoying my RPG series in full. Yup, this goddess should be here for something else entirely.
Perhaps a quest of love or to get an heir to the throne or something. But certainly not for me." Clark mumbled and tried to relax his raging heart.
How could our bored gamer not know this lady in the first place when she was ever present in one of the drastic scenarios of our protagonist's dark fate.
Still, Clark lulled himself for a few precious breaths of peace until the very last moment where he could no longer ignore the rapidly approaching advocate of Justice towards him.
"I guess it can't be helped. This must be one of the Elder God's schemes."
"SIGH!" Clark shook his head and could only address his absence for the dinner tonight with his party.
"Tell Wan Fei and the rest that i'm going to cultivate tonight, Xinyue. You should also eat now." Our bored gamer shared this message with one of his sexy guards outside his room.
Although cultivators can live without any food and sustenance, it was very hard for Clark to completely dismiss this trivial life habit.
It was during this meal where his family back on Earth would share how their day had been.
And even if Clark's parents were busy most of the time, dinner above all other meals always signified that their whole family could get to sit together in one table.
They would talk, they would laugh and they would eat together. Clark, his siblings, and their parents every night for as long as he could remember.
"Those were great times indeed." Our avid gamer smiled sadly and upon the next breath, his figure vanished into the broken recesses of the void.

"I told you to never shout at me again!" Tang Xinyue roared as her ears were almost bleeding from the irritating shout that she had received from her ex fiancee.
Her body flew like a cannonball and she had the absolute intention of smashing a young man's head with her fist.
But before that, Tang Xinyue had to abuse the double doors of Clark's chambers for the second time tonight.
"BANG!" A deafening sound exploded in the scene and what happened in the next second was a totally different outcome from what Tang Xinyue had expected.
"CRACK!" Not one, not even two bones broke from the sudden impact between flesh and hardwood.
"FUCK YOU, LU CHEN!" Tang Xinyue screamed while she cradled a mangled right hand in her care.
She did not even have to use her spiritual sense to see that there were lines upon lines of runic symbols that mapped the entirety of the master's bedroom.
"Are you alright, Big Sis?" Flower Goddess Ze Min carefully asked as she measured the damage on Tang Xinyue's hands. It would heal soon enough, Ze Min decided quickly.
But her eyes remained seated upon the strong defensive formation that barricaded the entrance of our bored gamer's domain.
Since it was the first time that Ze Min had known of this ability, she couldn't help but gather more information towards someone who better knew the nature of our ever mysterious protagonist.
"So... Your ex lover Lu Chen is also proficient in creating defensive formations, Big Sis? Why did you not tell me about it?"
Ze Min pouted and sported a facade of hurt in her eyes. Unfortunately, it was all for naught because Tang Xinyue did not even look at her in reply.
"..." Tang Xinyue stood there in speechless observation unto the unbreakable shield that graced the double doors of Clark's room.
A full minute passed by before she finally calmed the hate that she felt in heart.
"Come, Ze Min. Let's tell the others that their master won't come for dinner tonight."
Tang Xinyue said and then immediately turned her back from the impregnable formation that hindered her further passage.
'I wonder how strong this defensive formation is?' Ze Min mused as she purposely stayed behind to investigate further.
'Should I test it and try to look at what's inside then?' The Flower Goddess considered as she was absolutely curious about what was happening behind these doors.
But her fear towards our bored gamer stopped her completely where she was. It even overwhelmed her curiosity on the matter.
One should know that nobody in this continent has known of her real identity as Black Phantom but only her father.
Still, the one who fondly referred to himself as Young Master Clark has exposed her deepest secret with just a single glance.
This was enough to let Flower Goddess Ze Min know that Young Master Clark was truly not simple.
She did not know why Young Master Clark had not exposed her intentions in this sect yet but could only surmise on some clues to the nature of this young man.
In the end, Ze Min had to let go of her dangerous interest.
'The risk does not justify the reward. Not at all.' Ze Min concluded and followed the footsteps of Tang Xinyue.

In some unknown part of the dark universe, a chase was fully underway.
"So you have chosen to run. You cannot escape your death, Foul Creature!" A woman garbed in no fairy dress nor any kind of cultivator's robes whatsoever muttered in the night of space.
She was cased in a mighty golden set of armors and even had both items of attack and defense in her arms.
On her left hand was a tall gilded shield and on the other a long sword in the same hues of the treasures around her.
This woman looked like a Holy Knight in a crusade to vanquish evil and all its kind. The yellowish brilliance around her certainly painted an epic brush of divinity in her charge.
"I think you got the wrong man, my Lady. I'm as innocent as the snowflakes in winter. I couldn't even do any bad thing at all even if I wanted to. Please stop following me already."
Clark said unto the intimidating goddess at his heels.
With such a stature of a 10 foot big beauty in his wake, it was easy to notice that this was certainly of the breed of a True Immortal Realm already.
Drunken Monarch, Crazy Monkey, Snow Frost and even that nameless evil god he had slain all took the same height which was indeed a great tell of what factories these set of NPCs were bred from.
Luckily for the golden armored woman, our bored gamer was not one to slaughter someone who has a pure and kind soul like her.
No matter how insensible she sounded at the moment. Alas, Clark's words fell on deaf ears as the two of them were scaling the void with incredible speeds.
Twenty more silent minutes elapsed and it was at this time that the golden goddess had finally run out of patience.
"Die for me." The Golden Goddess spoke in a soft voice and wielded an ordinary sword strike from out of the blue.
"Hehehe! You must be dreaming! You're only at 1st Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm and c..." Clark laughed but suddenly felt the kiss of death smack at his lips.
He did not even have to finish his words before scrambling away like a scared mouse in a den of cats.
"PUCHI!" A breath later, a body disintegrated into tiny bits and pieces.
