Return of Overthinker Chapter 69
On that night, I visited a bar linked to a gambling den. The air was chilly from the air conditioner, mingling with the sweet scent of alcohol, the haze of smoke, and the murmurs of people filling the atmosphere.I walked to the blackjack table and sat there; among all the games in this den, I had playing virtually.“See there, what’s a poor guy doing here?” one of the players sneered, eyeing my modest attire.“I came to win,” I overheard him talking to his friend and couldn't resist replying, “Not like you're here to give away your money, loser.”He looked at me and laughed, “Care to play a game with us?”“That’s what I’m here for,” I smirked, brimming with confidence.In this gambling game, robots ensure fairness, but there’s always a pattern to their programming.I’ve spent enough time here to learn it. Plus, I have a unique ability to see far and beyond, allowing me to spot even the concealed cards.As the game began, about eight players, including myself, exchanged serious glance

"Alex, is that you?" The voice is feminine, laced with surprise.I whip around, my heart thudding in my chest, and there stands Mira, her eyes wide, locking onto mine."What are you doing here?" I blurt out."I am working here, as a waitress," she responds."Did nobles work as waiters?" Confusion clouds my thoughts. Her cheeks flush with a touch of embarrassment."We one-star nobles have no money; we have to work. But now, my workplace is gone. Did you destroy it?" Her eyes shimmer with unshed tears, vulnerable and seeking.“No,” I sidestep the accusation swiftly, vehemently."Your owner hit the destruction button; he's the one at fault." I emphasize, trying to shift the blame away from myself.Mira's face crumples, her eyes brimming with tears, "What should I do now?" Her voice is a whisper, fraught with despair."Why do you need money?" I probe, genuinely curious."The academy fee isn't cheap," she murmurs."How about trying to get a scholarship?" I suggest, hoping to offer a sliver

The princess gazes at me, her eyes brimming with curiosity, “What can you teach me?”“I can teach you almost everything,” I reply with pride, placing the wooden sword back on the rack.“Can you teach me how to raise my strength?” she probes, her brow furrowed in inquiry.“Well, that is the easiest one,” I declare, leaning against the wooden rack, “What will you give me in return if I teach you that?”“How much do you want?” Her voice is steady, betraying no sign of hesitation.“I don’t need money,” I quickly add, my eyes meeting hers.“So what do you need then?” she asks, her eyes searching mine for clues but now she look in cautious.“I need you to find a way to make me into rank 2 within a year,” I state, my gaze unwavering.The princess scrutinizes me, “What do you want to achieve by becoming Rank 2?”I shrug, an easy smile playing on my lips, “Nothing, I just think it would be cool to have that rank.”“And what will you give me in return?” she inquires, her tone laced with curiosi

The fat man and the bodyguard stare at me, their eyes wide with shock before twisting into anger."What are you doing?" the bodyguard seethes, stepping forward, his bulky frame tense with fury."What?" I retort, feigning innocence."You gave them all the pills.""I bought the pill. I paid with my money. Can't I share it with each of my friends?""You can, but not here!" The fat man bellows, his face flushing a deep red. "You are breaking my business.""Really?"The tension escalates as those who overdosed on the pills begin to roar. "Arggghhh!!!!!!!" Their cries fill the air, a harrowing sound of transformation.The pill, infused with demon blood, was meant to give a surge of euphoria felling with just one.However, consuming ten triggers a terrifying change.While the pill is expensive, someone had been consuming it moderately. But when it is free, people try to consume more and the overdose led to drastic physical changes: muscles swell, and faces contort with destructive power, ref

The next day at school, I find myself walking to the Princess’s training hall.The training room is empty, except for the princess, waiting alone.She stands there in a striking sport bra and long leggings, her attire accentuating her sexy athletic build.She is looking at me with hesitation."Have you made up your mind?" I ask.With a flushed face, the princess responds, “Not, yet. But I will just try it once, to see if you're just scamming me or if this is real.”“Suit yourself,” I reply, walking toward her.Gazing into her big blue eyes, framed by long brown hair tied in a ponytail, I sense her nervousness.I lean in slowly, pressing my lips against hers. Sharing my life energy to her.Suddenly, she kneels, her body radiating heat.“What happened?” she asks, her voice trembling with fear.“The life energy is entering your body. It might be painful for a while before your body adjusts the new strength. Just wait,” I explain, then walk out of the training hall, leaving her to process

Walking to the grand training hall reserved for three-star nobles, I am met by the sight of around 80 students. With the twelve accompanying me, our total comes to 92.“Hey, I'll wait here. Call the other eight, so it rounds up to exactly 100 people. Having an odd number just itches my OCD,” I announce. “I'll give you more time.”Most of them are visibly shocked upon seeing me.“Do you know why you are here?” a particularly arrogant man inquires, his presence commanding as others give him space and hang on his words.“Sure,” I respond confidently. “Even the simplest man could tell from the looks on your faces that you're not thrilled about a starless noble becoming the top rank, stepping over each of your head.”“So you're challenging me to a one-on-one hundred fight in this free-for-all fight, where the loser must surrender everything to the winner, even if death occurs?”“But we'll draft an agreement to avoid any legal troubles should one of us die, right?”The crowd is taken aback,

When I return to the academy, it's already the last study hour. The air is thick with tension, anticipation hanging like a heavy curtain.In the arena, a fierce battle unfolds, a struggle for supremacy among the elite.Mira, embodying the ferocity of a ravenous wolf, clashes with another 3-star noble.Swords clash, ringing through the air, a dance of steel and skill. Mira's every strike is relentless, her opponent's sword bending under the sheer force, his arm trembling, overwhelmed by her might.The noble, outmatched and outclassed, is sent flying from the arena like a ragged doll, discarded and defeated.Mira stands triumphant, her breaths heavy, eyes blazing with an untamed fire.“I wish to continue to fight my upper rank, as I don’t acknowledge they are stronger than me!” Mira's voice booms across the field, her declaration echoing.Now at rank 4 in her class and 35th overall, she is a force to be reckoned with.A rank 3 noble steps forward, contempt in his gaze. “You arrogant foo

"Why do you need access to the Royal bar?" the Princess asked, her brow furrowing in confusion."Don't all nobles have entry to the royal bar?"I respond with a smile, heavy with hidden meanings. "Not me, I'm blacklisted."Her eyes, wide with curiosity and as clear as crystal, fix on me. I could smell her lovely body scent. "Why are you blacklisted?""Because I destroy every bar I visit," I confess, my voice steady."Why?" She probes further, her gaze intense yet innocent.I hesitate, pondering if it's the right moment to confide in her. Rising, I lean closer and whisper, "Wherever your Uncle Bernard extends his influence, I vow to dismantle it."Her eyes widen in shock, and by the time she processes my words, I'm already striding away.Bernard, the King's twin brother, is the mastermind behind the Babel Tragedy, having forged a pact with dark forces to seize the throne.As I walk away, the fading sunset of Babel paints the sky in hues of orange and purple.Mira and Livia are waiting

I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro
Chapter 203
After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

"I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

"Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

“Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

“Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the

“Bargu,” I called one of my generals.He immediately looked at me with an extremely distressed face. “Don't choose me, king.”“Randu?”A small giant appeared and shook his head. “Don't torture me, king. We want to have fun. We won this battle.”None of them wanted to accept the position.“The position of God Vayu is an honorable one!” God Vayu shouted at them all. “Full of dedication, responsibility, serving many people, following the harmony of nature... blah... blah... blah...” He lectured for another half hour, ending again by saying to me, “Give this position to an honorable person! Not to someone who is half-hearted and does not understand the importance of this role.”I scratched my head. We Ashura only understood honor through battle. We also didn't want to be burdened by many rules and duties. We just wanted to have fun.I looked again at the ugly faces of the Ashura, fearing I might force them to take on the role.“Alright, God Vayu. No one wants your position. Stay in your p

I walked through the vast and majestic courtyard of God Indra's palace. Not a shadow in sight.Stepping onto the stone steps, I entered his palace and kept shouting his name.“INDRA! Show your cowardly face!”Inside his palace, I saw lotus ponds lining the path to the inner parts of the palace.“INDRA, THE COWARD! Are you hiding in your mother's embrace? Are you crying? Your subordinate gods are being tortured. They're screaming for their king, where are you hiding, coward?” I shouted as loudly as possible.Who doesn't know that Indra is famous for his cowardice and cunning? Every time he lost a battle against the Ashura, he would run into his mother's embrace. Aditi, the mother of the gods, and cry, persuading her to find a way to put him back on the throne. This has happened repeatedly.I smelled the scent of lotus and other fragrances in Indra's palace. “Ptooey... INDRA! Are you wearing women's clothes? Your palace smells like a woman! Show your face if you're a man.”I shouted for
Chapter 196
We Ashura people generally only wear pants. Always bare-chested, and if we wear anything, it must be armor for war. Not clothes like those worn by women. Beautiful, neat, and shining.“Ptooey!” I spat.Both camps flew closer with terrifying speed. Weapons were directed at each other. Just seconds before both sides would collide, yet neither slowed down. Each kept increasing their flying speed and strengthening their weapons in hand.A war general from the gods' camp shot ahead of the other gods towards me. Perhaps the god of war, Ares.“Die!” he shouted.“Good!” I said, smiling broadly. I shot to the front, and we faced each other at high speed.As we met, he thrust a shining spear at me like lightning trying to pierce my chest. I dodged quickly, and my large fist struck the front of his body protected by a metal shield. My full strength flowed, and the blow landed with a horrifying sound. Combined with my initial flying speed, God Ares was instantly thrown to the edge of the earth li
