Chapter 14: Roped into the world
Author's note: I feel like I am going to get a lot of hate from this chapter, but that being said I want you guys to know. I am 99% sure this won't be a harem. Mc will at least date 3 girls before he settles down, I want this novel to be the life of Lucas Morningstar. How he dates, interacts with people, fights for his people and so on. And, during that, he will be making some choices he doesn't like. Characters will be developed not just for himself but for people around him too. Anyways, happy reading.
…
The Ninja left to do their Ninja Business, leaving me with life as relatively normal, but before they did leave we had drinks at my house to commemorate us meeting each other upon Naruto's insistence.
The following day just like always I went back to work, but just like the day before I felt like I was missing a sense of purpose.
For the majority of my life I felt like I needed to survive and get money, but that was solved.
Then I wanted a family and that is solved,
So now do I just..live my life? Maybe I should do something I would never do.
"What are you thinking about?" Cisco asked as he approached me while I was at the cashier area.
"Nothing much…just how life has been boring recently."
"Yeah I hear you man." He said as he tried to sympathize, but he didn't seem bored in the least.
He then bought some coffees and went on his way.
As it was midday and relatively empty, I decided to talk to the man, the myth, the legend himself.
"This thing is really convenient. I don't have to travel to hear Temari yap anymore." I heard Shikamaru say as he picked up the phone and I deadpanned at him.
"Did I just say that outloud?" He questioned.
"Say what?" I could see him visibly breathing a sigh of relief, "So, why did you call."
"I wanted to ask, what should I do if all my goals in life are accomplished?" I asked the wise sage.
"I don't know?" He questioned back in confusion.
But I just waited patiently, even though it was a drag, he usually gave his opinions about things like this.
"Get married? Make friends and take care of your kid? All I wanted to do in life was be an average Ninja and get a wife." He told me honestly.
I then got to thinking-maybe I should follow his lifestyle. I should start dating! As I thought about that, Serena's beautiful smile flashed into my head, and my Turbo energy ran rampant inside of my body.
'I don't even have her number though.'
"Is that Lucas? Lucas! The ramen here is amazing! You weren't kidding!" Naruto said as he snatched the phone from Shikamaru.
In the background, I could see Sasuke enjoying some food and Hinata giggling at the excited Naruto.
"Wait where are you guys?" I questioned.
"Somewhere called Japan? I don't know, Tom said it would remind us of home."
"How did you guys even get to Japan?" "Tom got us a private Jet or something, it was really scary." 'How much money does this cat make.'
"Ughm." I heard a customer cough trying to get my attention.
"Brb." I quickly said, hanging up the call.
"What the hell is a b-"
"Hi, so sorry about that. What do you need?" I asked the lady in front of me.
She seemed to be around my age, and was wearing designer clothing in every part of my body.
She had beautiful brown hair falling off of her shoulders, and gave me extremely pretentious energy.
"No need to be sorry, it is what I get for coming to a subpar place like this." She commented, taking off her sunglasses as she just observed me.
I tried to laugh thinking she was joking but she stared at me with dead seriousness.
"Alright so what do you want?" I asked again. "Oh I am not interested in this shitty coffee, I am here to do a favor for a friend." She said as she took out a note.
"Are you Lucas?" "Yes, I am." I replied as I reached out to take the note.
As I was about to grab the note my hand grazed her glove, and she said, "Serena asked me to pass this to you." The second she mentioned Serena, as if on command, the Turbo energy inside of my body started to move on its own and went through my finger towards Blair.
Her eyes widened in slight shock and I quickly moved my hand away.
"Thank you." I said as I quickly asked for a replacement and moved away. What the hell was all that about? Why did my energy move on its own? -
(Blair POV) At first when I observed the guy I didn't see anything special.
I mean sure, he was tall, had really nice hair and perfect eyes, but we saw supermodels all the time. It is basically bare minimum for a guy that one of us dates to look like a greek god.
I could see the veins bulging out of his arms which meant he worked out frequently, now that is definitely a plus.
I didn't get why Serena liked him so much though, well, not until I made slight contact with his hand.
It wasn't even direct contact, since I still had my gloves on, but I felt something magical as soon as I touched him.
It felt as if I was transported to a buffet, and the only thing there was pleasure for me to feast on.
Now I get why she is so infatuated…maybe I should have a little fun of my own.
It is only fair, since she did that to so many of my crushes before.
And I don't think it will take a lot to make a nobody from a back water place like this to fall for me, after all I am practically a princess.
And Girl code? Please, Serena broke it so many times before so she can't say anything.
The more I thought about it, the more I made up my mind.
As I was glancing at the man while walking away, I got another phone call.
[Chuck Bass]
I immediately cut the phone and walked off, I didn't need a stupid guy interrupting my life.
…
(Steel POV) "Cat, it worked." I said, as I floated towards the cat.
Right now, he had an entire DJ setup inside of the living room, and was live streaming for the audience.
I made sure to stay out of the frame as I called out to him. He seemed annoyed at the interruption and muted his live stream, took the headphones he was wearing off and walked towards me.
The toy was also nearby, gaming.
The cat approached me and asked me what I meant.
"You know the plan we had to get Lucas a girlfriend? Us pre-programming the Turbo energy to set off the second he hears or thinks of the keywork 'Serena?'"
The cat realized what I was talking about, and smashed his fist into his paw.
"Well, it just activated." The cat breathed a sigh of relief and gave me a massive thumbs up.
The cat was very worried about Lucas dying alone without a wife for some reason, and this obviously saved that thought for him.
How was a robot supposed to compute that it was simply a brother's job to help another brother get a girlfriend? Well Tom didn't see a need to explain that as he went back to his livestream.
"So if Lucas gets a girlfriend, do we finally have enough people to 5 man in league?" Buzz asked no one in particular before he died to the ender dragon again.
"DAMMIT!"
He now had to restart from chopping wood, since he didn't have keep inventory on anymore.
"I swear I will finish this mission."
…
(Near a library at Japan)
"So what is the plan now?" A pink haired Kunoichi with a massive forehead asked Hinata as they both wandered to the entrance of a library.
"Shikamaru-san said it would be smart for us to learn medical knowledge regarding this world as they explore and gain more information about what items we would want to buy in the future when they make more money." Hinata replied.
"Wow, I haven't seen so many books since Lady Tsunade's private collection of Ninja Scrolls." The pink kunoichi said as she observed the massive library.
"SHHHH." The old librarian shh'ed them,as the 2 girls laughed awkwardly and got to work.
…
(Inside of a dense Forest to avoid satellites)
"MULTI-SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"
Hundreds of Naruto suddenly popped up inside of a dense forest, as Sasuke and Shikamaru just silently observed.
They then transformed into various different types of people, some as old people, some as couples, and some as kids as they walked in different directions.
"They will gather intel for me, and using basic Genjutsu is enough to infiltrate most places." Naruto said as Shikamaru nodded.
Right now they were on the way back to the private jet by Tom as they were going to go to Africa and start their operations as a mercenary unit. "Are you keeping Kakashi-sensei up to date?" He asked Shikamaru who nodded.
Every couple of hours, Shikamaru would pop back into their world and update Kakashi, which cost a fair bit of Chakra for Naruto, but wasn't really a big deal when Kurama footed the bill.
"Let's go!" Naruto said as they went to the airport.
…
(At Star Labs)
"Barry, we need to find this man!" Jay Garrick exclaimed as he emphasized on finding the man in the armor.
"And we will, we just have to deal with King Shark first. We are trying everything we can." Barry said, trying to calm Jay down.
"You're not trying enough."
Saying this, Jay walked out before Catylin or Cisco could follow him and left the building.
He then walked to a secluded corner of a street near Star Labs and opened a box.
Inside of it, was a dark blue suit with a lightning emblem and a mask.
It was the suit of the Speedster Zoom.
"I will find him myself."
…
(At the other side of the world in Europe) An old man with a dignified aura was currently sitting on a throne as he was reading documents regarding how their family business was going,
"Sire." A butler called out, as he entered the room and knelt near the throne.
"What is it?" He questioned without looking away from the reports.
"The Mission in America has failed. We were unable to trap her." The butler said, which caused the old man on the throne to look away from his reports and sigh for a moment. "Well we cannot control everything in the world. Expansion out of this continent will take time. Get the youngest to deal with this issue." He commented as he got back to his work.
"The second lord has asked for permission to take care of this mess and already has made some preparations." The butler commented.
"Mathew has? So be it, tell him to handle it properly. Now be gone, I have work to do." The old man commented.
"Yes sire."
The old man looked away from his stack of papers for a second and then sighed.
All this conquest and he hadn't even had time to enjoy the control he had over this world. Soon, he would prepare a worthy successor. Soon, he shall rest.
