"Sigh."
The only thing that Eirik could do right now was to sigh as he waited for the day he would get out of jail.
It's been 2 days since the court trial and a week since he awakened. And today was also the weekly Sports Event of the prison.
Last week he became a sensation on the internet among the Awakened and normal people.
Although Eirik didn't have a phone to check it, his years of experience in being an internet person, he knew that there would be countless memes about him circulating.
Even the Warden that was tasked to give his food would laugh at him from time to time.
But there was nothing that he could do. After all, he was in jail so he couldn't exactly surf the internet and try to diminish his presence there.
As he was being guided toward the gymnasium, there would be some people looking at him and then starting laughing.
"It seems like even my fellow inmates know about my meme circulating on the internet."
Walking towards the crowd of people in the center, someone from the losing team from the soccer game walked towards Eirik with his hands in his pockets and an arrogant smile plastered on his face.
"Hey! How does it feel to shower in your own vomit?" Following his words, there was loud laughter coming from his followers.
Being teased like this, Eirik couldn't help but shake his head.
'I feel like I am back in my high school days.'
During his time in high school, Eirik wasn't exactly bullied but he would be teased every time he did something embarrassing. It seems like there was no difference from those days and now.
Eirik didn't get angry as the other person expected so he just snorted and went back to where he came.
Meanwhile, the captain of Eirik's team then ran toward him with a guilty expression. After all, he was one of the reasons why Eirik vomited back then. If they had stopped launching Eirik up towards the sky when he said so, this wouldn't have happened.
"Eirik... So-!"
Eirik didn't let the captain continue his words. Honestly, he wasn't really that affected. More importantly, he was in jail so he couldn't gauge how viral his meme was.
Maybe it was something that would be forgotten in a week or worse, being used as a daily meme. Needless to say, Eirik currently didn't know so he wasn't really bothered about it.
Suddenly, a message from his System Window appeared.
[Rewards: 1000 coins]
"Huh? Suddenly receiving a reward? Why?"
Forgetting what this reward was about, Eirik went to his Quest Tab.
Soon he found the quest he recently completed.
[An Extra Ordinary should be slightly more famous than ordinary people. ✅
According to the average views of ordinary content creators in AwakenedTube, their views range between 1-2 Million views. Have a video reach 3 Million views.
Rewards: 1000 Coins
Failure: Become a meme without any pay]
"The heck?!"
Recalling this quest from when his video became viral, Eirik couldn't believe it.
"Did my video reach 3 million views!? F*ck! Why is this happening to me?"
Although it seems like he wasn't bothered by it earlier, deep inside he still cares for his own image. After all, there was a chance that he would be known as the 'Vomit Shower' by all the people he knew.
Getting over the fact that he was famous for the wrong reasons, Eirik noticed something on his Quest Tab.
[An Extra Ordinary is not a villain (One- time quest) 🚧
Prove that you are innocent and you are just slightly better than the ordinary people with good conscience.
Rewards: 100,000 Gold Coins (Will be given after getting out of jail.)
Failure: A Miner of Mana Stones for life]
"Oh right, I still have this quest. It seems like I am only able to get it once I get out of jail..."
After checking out his System Window, Eirik waited for the Sport Event to start.
When the last prisoner walked in while being guided by the Warden, the announcer finally started speaking as the sign of the start of the Sport Event.
"Ehem! You are now gathered here today for our weekly Sport Event. As usual, first event will be a race, the champion for the race will get custom at every meal for the next week... That's all, good luck."
When the announcer stopped talking, Eirik familiarly sat down at the center of the race track. After all, he didn't want to participate. Having planned to only cheer for the whole Sports Event despite only eating rice gruel, what the announcer said next changed his plans.
"By the way... Because Mr. Eirik became viral last week in AwakenedTube, his Custom meal will continue next. If you want to participate in any sports event or not, it's up to you."
Because of the sudden words of the announcer, Eirik suddenly became the center of attention.
As he couldn't tolerate the attention he was receiving, Eirik decided to leave the sports event after the Race Event. Despite convincing himself earlier that he wasn't affected, he still couldn't handle the shame he was feeling anymore.
Like last week, Speedro was the Champion of the race again. As usual he stormed off the gymnasium, but this time there was something different.
Today, Eirik wanted to strike a conversation with Speedro by following him to go back to the prison cell.
"Hey! Speedro! Wait for me!"
Because of Speedro's skill, it seems as if he was running even though he was walking. Though Eirik ran with all his might in order to reach up to Speedro, he was still left behind.
Not getting a chance to have friends, Eirik gave up on chasing Speedro and went back to his own cell.
This time he will be spending all his free time counting all the gold coins he was able to get from the Trial Space. After all, this was better than having nothing to do at all.
"Sigh. So this is what boredom gives us."
