In a dilapidated residential building in City Z, Saitama followed Duke home claiming it would be more convenient for Saitama to visit Duke next time.
"I didn't expect the two of us to live so close together. By the way why have we never met before ?", Saitama asked as he looked at Duke. In Saitama's mind if he had met Duke earlier he would not have to save every penny to eat, he could have leeched off Duke immediately.
"Ah... because I rarely go out except to eliminate mysterious beings and monsters.", Duke said nonchalantly. Duke took out his keys and opened his door, Saitama squeezed into Duke's apartment from behind.
The innocent Duke was deceived by Saitama's bald headed innocent appearance unaware of Saitama's sinister intentions of using Duke as his food source.
In the living room of Duke's apartment there was a super huge LED tv with game's consoles attached to it. The large TV and game consoles made the living room look smaller than it was. Saitama breathed with excitement seeing the game console and the large LED tv.
"Oh ! Isn't this the latest home video game console ?", Saitama asked excitedly as his saliva flowed out looking at the game console. Saitama quickly rushed to the game console and held it in his hands.
Saitama smiled as his cheeks bulged out in happiness. "Isn't this the latest home video system with multi player processors and special chips that won't cause the video games to lag...", Saitama said excitedly.
Duke looked at Saitama in a puzzled manner. Duke wondered why Saitama spoke more than twenty words, isn't Saitama of the one punch man world always calm and he rarely speaks.
"Saitama how do you know so much about this game console ?", Duke asked curiously.
"I often watch advertisements of video games console while looking for advertisements of supermarket promotions. I have seen the advertisements of this home video games console many times repeatedly over and over again.", Saitama said in a sour and unhappy mood. Saitama did not really want to watch the advertisements of video game consoles but there were too many of them so he had to watch it.
Duke smiled, it means that the big bald invincible Saitama was not better than him, after all Duke had the latest home video game console and Saitama didn't have the latest home video game console. Duke felt superior to Saitama now. Duke decided to show Saitama how good of a video game player he was.
Duke sat down and held one of the home video game consoles. Both of them sat together and stared at the large LED tv as Duke started a new game.
"This home video game console is very expensive. Duke, you rarely go out to work. Where did you get the money to buy this home video game console ?", Saitama asked curiously.
"I am a registered hero of the heroes association. As long as I eliminate a certain amount of mysterious beings and monsters on a regular basis the heroes association will have to pay me my fixed salary. I also get dividends from my shares in the heroes association. Actually the amount of money I make is very good.", Duke said nonchalantly.
Saitama's eyes lit up. Saitama decided on the spot decided to join the heroes association after hearing you can make money from eliminating mysterious beings and monsters.
"Duke with your strength you must rank 1st in the heroes association ?", Saitama asked curiously.
Duke smiled and puffed up his chest and said, "I don't really care much about ranking. I am currently ranked 2nd in the B Level ranking.".
Why is Duke ranked 2nd in B Level heroes association ranking, Saitama wondered.
The income of B Level heroes is so high Saitama imagined a beautiful future for himself working in the heroes association. And Saitama's expression became sunnier.
Kick Out ! The voice of the home video game playing on the tv shouted out.
The clear and beautiful voice of the game pulled Saitama back to cruel reality. Just when Saitama imagined a high salary in the heroes association, Duke beat his game character into oblivion and won the game.
"Ah !.... Ah !....", Saitama screamed and glared at Duke for cheating in the game.
"I am not to blame you are distracted.", Duke said with a smirk on his face.
"One more time. The previous game doesn't count.", Saitama said angrily.
"It doesn't matter since you are looking for abuse, I shall provide you with multiple defeats. Today I shall let you know the fear of being dominated in this game.", Duke said confidently.
Duke clearly remembered in the comics that Saitama had never won a single computer game against King. A smirk formed on Duke's face.
Duke clearly misunderstood something.
At the beginning of the second game, Duke lost to Saitama because he underestimated Saitama's gaming ability. It's not that Saitama is weak in gaming ability it's just that King is too strong in gaming ability. King was one of the best computer game players in one punch man world. And the gap between the gaming ability of King and Saitama was like Heaven and Earth. King being heaven and Saitama being Earth.
The proof of this was Duke game characters life bar was being cleared by Saitama at an astonishing rate.
"Its impossible ! How come you are so good at gaming ?!", Duke shouted out in exasperation. And after Duke had pretended to be a great gamer he was humiliated by Saitama.
The home video game battle between Duke and Saitama did not end at until late at night.
"This ... how is this possible ?", Duke said as he started to have doubts about his gaming ability.
404 wins and 404 losses !
Saitama and Duke were tied in the home video game battle, if you took out the first game that Duke won when Duke sneak attack Saitama's game character when Saitama was distracted then Duke would have lost.
Damn it ! It turns out Saitama is not a weak gamer but King is just too strong as a gamer ! Damn it I have been fooled by that bald headed Saitama ! Duke thought to himself.
