The Bored Immortal-Novel

The bot Viktor was aiming at had its head burst like a water balloon as he fired two headshots before it could even shoot at him.

"Y-You killed it…"??

"Yo...d-did I just see it, right?"

"My 6/6 vision tells me that he indeed killed a Godbot! This...this is impossible!"

Viktor inwardly smirked, seeing these three making a big fuss about him killing a programmed character though he could understand why. In fact, he was impressed by how fast the bot reacted to his presence, but in his perception, it was so slow for him to even take any real effort.

Unlike normal humans, all his senses were at a heightened level, way beyond what a normal person could imagine. Because of this, his eyes were able to perceive things faster, and what might seem fast in other's eyes would be no different than a snail's speed for him.

And this applied even if he was shooting at virtual targets on a screen. The bot indeed had insane reaction speed in a human's perspective, but when Viktor saw it, he could clearly see the bot slowly moving its body in his direction.

And all he had to do was move his crosshair towards the bot's head and click the fire button.

But all this happened in a matter of milliseconds because of which Butkus and the other two felt as if Dorian's reaction speed was shocking since before they could even properly see what happened, the bot was already shot dead by him.

They couldn't believe how he moved his crosshair towards the bot's head so accurately at lightning speed.

Not even the pro players they usually watch online could move at such an inhuman speed.

And before they could even process this shock, they saw Dorian gunning down yet another bot in the same manner...and again and again till all the other four bots who rushed towards Dorian to kill him ended up dead within a second of coming before his screen.

The 'victory' banner for the round win also came up on the screen, and Viktor turned around and asked with a guileless smile, "This was quite easy. Are you guys sure this difficulty is really at an Impossible level?"

All three had their brains stop working hearing his question and seeing Dorian's expression, they couldn't make out if he was being sarcastic or if he was really questioning about its difficulty.

"Oh, the next round is starting again so soon?" Viktor thought that there would be some sort of break in between rounds, but now he realized that all thirty rounds were going to be continuous.

"Dood...are you even human?" Skinny Jim asked with a flummoxed look. His fingers were trembling with shock from seeing Dorian gunning those Godbots like chickens.

Butkus wondered if Dorian was really playing in the Impossible level, but then he felt stupid for thinking that since he clearly saw Dorian choosing that option, and most of all, they all saw how insane Dorian's movements were in-game. It was so precise and accurate, they even forgot to breathe because of how shocked they were.

"Holy shit! This has to go on record!" Bucky came out of his daze as he quickly took out his phone and started video recording over Dorian's shoulder.

"Sir, I am sorry, but the tournament is going to start, and I request you to please come play again after the tournament. We now need these computers for the tournament," A staff member suddenly came from behind and spoke to Dorian, politely asking him to free up the computer.

Viktor sighed as he nodded, thinking that he should definitely win a game against these Godbots later and show the world that even a noob can become a pro in a day.

"My friend, can you at least wait five more minutes. We just want to record a record-breaking gameplay of this prodigy. Trust me, the whole world will go crazy over it," Bucky asked in a fevered tone, trying his best to suppress the bubbling excitement in him.

Butkus and Skinny Jim were no different since they knew they just witnessed the birth of a prodigy that defied all logic and could possibly break the world record by winning against the Godbots.

So, how could they not want to record the gameplay and upload it online for it to go viral?

Seeing how fevered these three were, Viktor wondered if he was too fast in-game, fast enough to spook people. He decided to tone down his reaction speed a bit, though, making sure to win against the Godbots as well.

"It's fine, Bucky. We shouldn't make things difficult for them. Besides, I can't wait to watch my cousin play," Viktor said with a slight smile as he got up and let the staff do their work.

"B-But…" Bucky couldn't say anything anymore now that Dorian seemed like he was eager to watch the tourney.

But for him and his friends, they had long forgotten about the tourney since they someone making new history right before their eyes,

Viktor saw that in this big and wide room, there were around eight wide tables with five computers in each table arranged in an orderly manner.

He spotted Tiana and her team a few meters away, setting up their things on the table.

He then saw Bucky and his friends heatedly discussing what just happened.

Viktor nudged Bucky and said, "Hey guys, till the tourney gets over, please don't tell anyone about how I killed those Godbots. I want it to be a surprise for my cousin and also not to distract her now."

Butkus and the other two glanced at each other as they nodded together with a wink.

"Dood, that does not matter at all. But do you have any idea how your future in CS:UW is going to be? You are going to be a rockstar! Once we record your gameplay and put it up, within minutes, you will gain thousands of subs," Skinny Jim said with an excited light in his eyes.

Butkus heartily laughed, "Hahaha, I know, right. I still can't believe how a newbie like you suddenly got such mind-blowing skills. Hey, tell us the truth. Are you a hidden expert or something? Probably a pro that hid from the online world all this time and decided to make your mark today?"

Bucky also nodded as he pressed the bridge of his spectacles, "That's my speculation as well. It is impossible for a noob or a newbie to turn into an insanely talented pro within just a few minutes. Now tell us...for how many years have you been playing this game?"

Viktor shook his head inwardly, wondering whether he gave them too much of a shock. But considering how he was making himself appear, he felt that it was natural.

So he decided to come up with a believable reason, "Actually, I had always gone hunting with my father when I was a kid. And he taught me how to improve my aim and reaction time to quickly shoot down my targets. He trained me for many years, and I guess that muscle memory helped me quickly get used to this game," Viktor said with a shrug.

The other three remained silent for a while before they nodded, and Bucky spoke, "Hmm...I guess real-life experience with guns does help significantly. Sigh, only if I had one to practice with. You are not only monstrously talented, Dorian. But you are lucky as well, especially when you have the Snow Queen as your cousin."

"Oh, look at the screen! They are displaying the brackets!"

Viktor looked around and saw the brackets being displayed on the huge screen.

However, he knitted his brows slightly when he saw that the Wildcats were being matched up against the Beast Men in their first game itself.

"Oh, shit. The Wildcats are up against the Beast Men first itself!" Skinny Jim said as he took in a cold breath of air.

Butkus became concerned as he placed his hand on Dorian's shoulder and asked, "Yo, is your cousin's team gonna be alright? I mean, they are only four, and to be honest, the Beast Men are no pushover. I have seen their gameplays firsthand, especially since their idiot team leader is my brother. And trust me, those five really have a good chance of making it to the international leagues. They just aren't popular as the Wildcats, though."

"Well, even if by chance the Wildcats lose this game, don't they enter the loser's bracket and still have a second chance of coming back?" Viktor asked with a raised brow.

"Yes, they do. But still, the Wildcats would have to face the Beast Men again sooner or later if they didn't lose a game again before. Sigh, this is really going to be a tense and tight match. I am sure everyone would be paying attention to their match rather than the others," Bucky said with a head shake.

Viktor wasn't worried and was inwardly calm as he sat on the spectator seat, looking at the two big screens where four matches were being aired on each screen at the same time.

Because the team names were also mentioned on the screen, it wasn't hard for him to spot the Wildcat's match.

The tourney soon started, and Viktor saw how focused Tiana and her friends were as they played against the Beast Men, who seemed quite zealous and determined as they played.

Many were talking about the bet between these two teams, and most were talking about how handicapped the Wildcats were because of having a missing team member.

They couldn't help but feel that the Beast Men might really win the bet.

Many were cheering and shouting from the spectators' room though the players couldn't hear them due to soundproofing.

But as expected by most, Tiana's team lost to the Beast Men by just a single round though surprising most that she and her team managed to get close with just four people against five expert players.

Viktor saw Tiana storming off from her chair while her friends followed her to calm her down.

'I guess it's time to make a move,' Viktor smiled as he inwardly thought.
