The Bored Immortal
chapter-95

For a second, John wondered why he ever had to even bother this guy for the sake of a computer. Most of all, why he even set out to destroy the Wildcats in the presence of Goodboi.

John took in a deep breath as he slowly turned around and looked at Dorian with a grim look.

"Do you want me to remind you what the second condition was?" Viktor candidly asked as if he was trying to help out John.

"I clearly remember it," John said with gritted teeth as he waved his hand.

Tiana proudly leaned against the chair, smirking at seeing John's plight. Her teammates were also expectantly watching to see if John would really go through it. They all already realized that John had some kind of vendetta against them, but they didn't care since the Beast Men was not the first team who were hostile to them.

"I apologize to the Wildcats for trying to slander their skills and...and…" John was finding it even harder to utter the next half, but he clenched his fists and continued, "I also admit that the Snow Queen is the best pro...I had ever seen."

"Of course, that's a given," Tiana said with her chin high, seeing how, with the help of Dorian, they already beat the Beast Men at their own game. She knew John was trying to ruin her and her team's image or expose her team's identities so that she and her friends would get in trouble with their respective families.

This only made her seethe in anger, and now she felt that revenge was indeed sweet.

John gave one last glare at Dorian before walking away in a huff, his back slump.

He felt as if he already lost half of his team's reputation after fulfilling the bet in public. He knew this would be already hot news on the internet, and even his fans would be disappointed.

He was now even more determined to win a single round so that he could demand payback for the damage in reputation he suffered and destroy theirs.

But remembering how easily Goodboi destroyed his team, a shiver went down his back, wondering whether he was already playing a losing game and the consequences of losing the bet.

One of his teammates leaned in to ask him a question as he sat down, "John, are we—"

"Just shut up, you fool! How could you four idiots die like chickens to him?" John asked with a red face.

"But you died to him as well..." Another one of his teammates mumbled but then quickly shut his lips and felt glad that John was too angry to hear him.

"Goodboi is insane. I don't think he is a noob at all!"

"Yeah, he seems like a fucking pro, firing unbelievable shots. Only the best among the best could do such shots."

"I know, right. We picked a beef with the wrong guy, sigh."

John became even more infuriated with his teammates' comments and banged the table with his fist, "Oh, just shut it! All we need is a single round, and we are going to kill that motherfucker first. Let's see how this hidden expert is going to fare."

The game soon resumed, and this time John slapped himself in the face a couple of times to make sure his 100% attention was in the game and not somewhere else.

"Okay, Goodboi. This time you are including us in the fun. I don't know how you do it, and we will talk about that later. But this time, we finish them together," Tiana said with a wink.

"Goodboi? I thought you nicknamed me Babyface," Viktor asked with a slight smile.

"Well, from now on, I am gonna call you Goodboi. It really suits you better," Tiana said with a cheery smile.

"Then I will call you Snow Fairy from now on. It suits you better as well, I guess."

Tiana couldn't help but smile, thinking that the name sounded quite nice, making her feel for a moment that she should have chosen such a name as her IGN before.

But at the same time, she loved the word 'Queen' because of how intimidating it sounds.

"Alright, bois. We are going to end this real quick. Only five more rounds. Let's go!" Tiana clapped her hands together as she cheered for the whole team.

"This time, we all are staying together! Let's kill that motherfucker together when he rushes at us alone," John said as his nostril flared.

"But then the Snow Queen and the other three would take over the other bomb site," John's teammate said in a concerned tone.

"Let them! We can retake the site later. But we shouldn't let go of Goodboi. We have to kill him first before he fucks us. And to take out an expert, we need all the manpower we got!" John was fully determined to win one more round and end this nightmare before it gets worse.

Viktor was inwardly casual as always, and as the game started, Tiana and her friends took the lead as Viktor followed them. This time they decided to go aggressive rather than play passively.

But to their surprise, when they were about to reach one of the bomb sites, they saw all five CT's stacked together on that site as if they didn't care about guarding any other place at all.

John and his team were also surprised to see all five from the Wildcats rushing towards them. And without any further ado, an exchange of intense gunfire took place, and everything happened fast.

"Whoo! Ez pz lemon squeezy!" Tiana shouted in excitement as she exchanged high-fives with her friends and also turned around towards Dorian to give her a high five, who awkwardly lifted his hand and gave her a high five.

"An absolute domination by the Wildcats! Within just five seconds, the whole Beast Men were wiped by the unstoppable Wildcats. What an intense match and surprising turn of events this is! Are the Wildcats really going to take the cup?!" The commentator almost smashed the table in excitement as he saw the short yet intense exchange of gunfire between the two teams.

"Impossible…" John, who was instantly killed by Goodboi, now started to feel fear whenever he heard that name.

Viktor knew what John's character looked like and purposefully targeted him just for fun while also letting his teammates kill.

The Beast Men didn't even get enough time to process their shock since they had no more pause breaks left, and the game resumed.

But they had no idea that they had yet to experience even worse shock.

[ ———————- The Wildcats Wins The Round ———————-]

[ Score - 15:13 ]

In the next round, Viktor strayed away from his team to backstab the Beast Men while they were distracted by Tiana and the others.

He then spotted John hiding behind a large box in fear of getting a headshot from afar. John felt that Goodboi was purposefully targeting him, and since he couldn't find a way to fight back, he decided to hide out of fear and kill Goodboi by taking him by surprise when he got near.

Viktor whistled as he walked without making any footsteps towards John, who had his back turned towards him. He scrolled the mouse wheel till a knife came in his hand instead of a gun.

He thought of knifing John from behind but then felt that he could do something more fun and climbed atop him.

Since John was in a crouched position, it was easy for Viktor to climb atop him without making any sound.

John was still patiently waiting for Goodboi and his team to reach the bombsite so that he could at least take out Goodboi and get his revenge.

But all his teammates were gunned down like ducks by Tiana and her friends till they closed towards the site. However, they saw Goodboi from afar sitting atop something and wondered what it was since they knew there was no object behind the box for him to sit upon.

Then a sudden guess struck Tiana's mind and said to her friends with a smile, "Come guys. Let's move to the bombsite. Goodboi is waiting for us with a nice surprise."

John heard the footsteps of the Wildcats closing in and eagerly took out his machine gun, which he bought at a high price to spray down all of them at once.

But when he tried to get up, he found that he couldn't!

"Eh?!" Since he was no noob in this game, he realized something and looked up to see a Terrorist sitting atop him and, because of the clothes, recognized him as Goodboi, who was shaking his head up and down, as if he was mocking him. But the alarming thing was that he saw a knife being pointed at his face at close range.

"FUCK!!" John immediately tried to move his crosshair, but before he knew it, the knife punctured his head and...

"NO!!!! HOW THE FUCK HE GOT HERE??!" He then glared at his teammates and barked, "You are all fucking idiots, noobs! Why would you people stay stacked at one place instead of covering my back??"

One of his teammates got frightened by his outburst and said in a low voice, "But...you were the one who told us to stay together in wait for them."

"That was fucking two rounds ago! Are you guys fucking noobs to not know to change strats every—-Hrrk!!" In the middle of his shouting, John suddenly felt as if one of the nerves on his neck got strained from all the shouting, making him swallow his words.

After that, he didn't say anything in fear of having his nerves getting damaged and continued playing like a lifeless robot.

[ Score - 15:15 ]

As the rounds passed, and the Wildcats were bagging consecutive wins like a piece of cake, the Beast Men began to lose morale, and now their expressions looked as if their souls left their bodies.

[ ———————The Wildcats Wins The Round ———————]

[ Score - 15:16 ]

"And the Wildcats bagged the finals of the Esports Championship Cup!! What a miraculous and amazing comeback by them! More than six consecutive rounds win, and amidst the nerve-wracking tension, they finally came out on top!" The commentator also felt happy seeing them win since he was secretly rooting for the Wildcats as well.

"WHOO! We did it!" Tiana excitedly howled with both her hands up and waved to her fans standing in the spectator room, who all became even more elated seeing their favorite goddess waving at them.

She then turned to Dorian with an excited smile. Feeling overjoyed, she grabbed Dorian's hand and said, "Goodboi, how come you hid from me about how amazing you are? You are a prodigy!"

Tiana was extremely happy since winning this tournament was something she wished for the most for now. After all, her dream was to make her mark in the international leagues one day, and now that she won the state-level championship, her team had qualified for the nationals.

Viktor caressed his hair with an overwhelmed smile and looked at his hand being held by Tiana with both her hands.

Tiana then noticed that she had grabbed his hand unwittingly and receded her hands immediately awkwardly as she glanced away.

But the two were distracted when the game organizers came near them to ask something.

Everyone was pitying the Wildcats before since their 5th player was absent. But the majority never expected that they would still come on top, and most of all, they knew one of the main reasons for this was the presence of a new rising player - Goodboi.

The name Goodboi spread like wildfire among the CS:UW community, and people were already sharing his gameplays and wondering if he was indeed human to have such fast reflexes and precise aim.

"Goodboi! Goodboi! Goodboi!" Even the spectators started to cheer his name since everyone knew that he was the main reason the Wildcats were able to make a surprise comeback at the end.

John could hardly control his nerves bursting from rage and frustration. And hearing the name Goodboi from the people around him, again and again, made him feel like he developed some kind of trauma whenever he heard that name, especially since Goodboi seemed to specifically target and kill him for all the past few rounds.

He could hardly believe how he died so fast before he could even properly aim back at Goodboi.

"Time to pay up, Lil Johnny!" Tiana excitedly sprang up from her seat as she called out while crossing her arms.
