Chapter 4 - Unreal is Reality

"Well", Reyn now doesn´t felt the pain in his arm anymore.

After ten minutes or so, not waiting for his head to relax, only to feel a sudden green light in front of him, and a window appeared in front of his eyes, like seeing through the Oculus Rift headset. It was like a virtual space. Many windows showing different maps, some on abandoned Street, some on platforms and some on Ancient ruins...

Why are these so familiar? Reyn was puzzled, and in one corner of the windows, there are huge boxes marked with English letters.

I'm sure I've seen it, Reyn tried to calm himself down, slowly thinking about where he had seen this place was. 'A wallpaper? No, not likely, TV? Yes, not it shouldn't be on TV or a console...'

'Isn't this the famous DUST II map in CSGO Game'

"Gasp" - He knew that something even more unrealistic than reborn had happened. If he remembers correctly this was one of the games he was organizing at the Game Store he work before being reborn here.

He thought and moved his hand forward and then his hand pass the light windows and felt a light wind breeze.

Reyn heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Although the castle wasn't build using the modern technics and materials of 21 century, still it doesn't easily let the wind come in was the window is closed.

"I'm going to go in?" Reyn felt that there was a little curiosity and temptation in his heart luring himself, so he slowly stood up and crawling inside it.

'Stop! I am in such a hurry? it's too dangerous' In the end is rational mind prevailed.

Reyn gave up the temptation to crawling in and stopped. But still, he reach himself close to one of the windows and there he could see a map. Reaching out closer to feel, The smell of the sea came to his nose.

After a moment, Reyn began to look for other things, and at this time, he found that he did not know how to control the scene in front of him, as there is nothing in front of him that look like control.

"Hmm" as he was thinking about how to control one of the screens flicked and in front of his eyes, and, unsurprisingly, a weapons-selecting menu appeared, and every weapon was unlocked, while the money column was marked "999999999..." at the maximum!

"Woww" everything about this was still a novelty in from of his eyes, and he was startled by this, was it only need is for him to have moved his mind and something my happen.

'Can I take it out? '. A crazy thought appeared on Reyn mind.

With his mind, he turns his attention to select a weapon on the list, and finally with a click like sound on the M9 Beretta pistol.

Just then a faint light in front of the menu appeared, and then a transparent cube seem to materialize from it, and inside two pistols appeared suspended, the two had a bright silver look.

Reyn looked greedily at the two M9 pistols, which are no longer the only ones on the menu, but displayed in front of his as it is. He reached slowly and held the handle of the pistol, and the little cold feeling just confirmed the thing was real.

After a moment of hesitation, Reyn brought back his hand from the windows and a brand new, silver M9 Beretta pistol appeared for the first time in this world.

He gently stroked the pistol, it fitted perfectly in his hand, and after a brief look back and forth. Finally, he touched the clamp, and then the bullet box fell on the ground loaded with bullets inside of it.

--------------------------------------------

Although he has prepared for it, but really seeing the pistol in his hands, his heart was beating a little uncontrollably. Although he had never owned a firearm, he still fantasized a little went he played some games. And now, a real one just suddenly appeared in his hands

Exquisite workmanship, cold, black muzzle, golden bullets, all suggest that this was one of the most influential and dangerous types of weapon! He sat on the bed, stroking the weapon for a long time.

Outside the sun had gradually set, and a ray of light of the sun tilted as it pass through the window shining on the Reyn body. Although it was almost the early winter period, the temperature still was a bit warn, and he was sweating all over his clothes.

Reyn took out the pistol again. Then the bullet box was inserted into the handle of the gun and pulled back with one hand. "Click" and the pistol was loaded.

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

'is this real? Wouldn't it be an illusion? I What if I try it'. A thought arose in his mind

After finding a perfect corner in his room, he wrapped his right hand around the pistol and aimed at the furnished under the window. After a long breath, he pulled the trigger!

Nothing happen, no gunshots, no vibrations, no bullets, nothing as he imagined. Reyn felt a little shame as he think that he was so weak that he even couldn't pull the trigger.

Reyn re-examined the pistol, but carefully aimed the muzzle to the ground, he did not want to accidentally injure himself. After studying for a while he founded that the trigger is simply stuck, can not move at all. He was a little disappointed, the pistol can not be used.

Originally thought to have found the solution to his predicament, but now he was back to the beginning again his hope has gradually faded away.

This kind of downfall is really depressing.

'But this pistol hid is at least iron steel, melting down a couple of it I can at least make some swords and armour.' Reyn quickly cheer himself up as he could the least scrap it down later.

He then start playing whit the pistol, making all kinds of positions that he had seen when he played games. Then he touched a small switch at the side of the pistol, and with a push of his finger, the small trigger moved down a little.

"BANG!!"

The pistol suddenly shot, and a bullet casing jumped out of the upper side of the gun and landed on the floor, jingling a few times and a faint plume of smoke flowed out from the muzzle, and just in front of Reyn where the muzzle was pointed a visible hole that ran through the table and some paper on it.

The sound of gunfire echoed in the castle, and for a time it could not dissipate as it echo away. At this moment Reyn mind was blank and his ears buzzing.

'What, it real, how come these broken things work... Damit the safe was on' When Reyn came back to himself he was complaining to himself. How come he had forgotten such detail. Remembering that if he was a bit more careless worsted thing could happen, so he hastened to get the safe on again.

"It's too dangerous" - A bit more he would probably be the first victim of a gun in this world.

While Reyn was stuck in his world pondering, a heavy footstep could be heard echo through the castle.

"Bang" With a smashing sound the door of Reyn room was split in half was a body run through it.

"Gash" Reyn jumped in surprise, and at the same time the windows that were open in from of his eyes shutdown

"My Lord...." It was Thorris that had just rushed up after hearing the gunshot. As he runs in the first thing he saw was Reyn and then moving his eyes around trying to identify if there was any danger around.

"Sir, are you alright?... Come here just stay close by my side Sir." Although Thorris didn´t identify anything besides Reyn, he still had a vigilant look on his face.

Reyn was so surprised by Thorris that he unconsciously walk and stayed at Thorris side.

"Sir... everything alright," Dohnal ask while gasping for breath. By now the butler Dohnal had arrived at Reyn door room.

"It was me just now " By now Reyn had come back to himself.

"But Sir what was that trembling noise just now," Dohnal asked in concern as he cast his eyes on the room just to stop at the table.

"It's nothing you should be concerned about for now" He quickly tried to ease the situation.

"Sir, what is th..." - Dohnal

"Just get out... all of you Get Out!" Reyn gave up trying to come out with an explanation so he just order them to out of his room.

"Oh Wait Dohnal. Send some to fix the door... And you Thorris the cost will come out of your salary. " Reyn said as he looked at Thorris and Dohnal.

"But Sir..." Thorris was trying to justify the reason why he run through the door.

"No but, next time at least use the nob to open the door." Reyn didn´t allow much for Thorris excused.

After they left, Ryen immediately tried to cover the door with a curtain. Then he went to the table and analysed it better afterwards turning to look at the pistol he have in his hand and pondered where to hide it for now.

'Can I put it back' It seems after some consideration he decided to try and see if he can put it back into the CS space. That mysterious space should be the safest place until it completely organizes some things around.

'But how do invoke the CS space?' He lay on the bed, trying to recall, just the series of events. He began to think again only for his eyes to fall on his left arm. He stroked the strange mark on his arm and began to study it.

The mark by now had a regular pattern, wired, circled, spiralled, grouped together to form an odd configuration. Staring, then he felt that the strange mark began to bounce, it looked as if a three-dimensional thing that was stuff down to the 2D.

"Buzz", Again the CS scene appeared in front of him. He breathed a sigh of relief, and chose the DUST2 map, reaching out, felting the wind.

This time he took the silver M9 Beretta pistol and slowly reach out directly to the menu. He stuffed the M9 pistol straight in, and release his hand. Them the pistol was suspended inside the screen.

"Great, Now a little more adventurous" Reyn murmured to himself as he took the curtains and the bedsheet and made a rope. If successful, then he knew that now would probably be a new chapter in his life here

He took the ropes and wrapped them around his waist, this was a security measurement. If something happened he could at least pull the rope and try to climb back.

After taking a few deep breaths, Reyn step into the CS world!

The space inside gave a filling like the real world, then he took a few gentle breaths, founded no problem, then rest of breathing was more comfortable followed by stronger breathing afterwards.

It was just like the seen the real version of DUST II. He walks around a bit looking up and down. The light inside is good, but the sun was not visible, and the shadow on the ground extends only in one direction, indicating the direction of the light.

After touring around he was relieved. He had previously worried about someone or something jumping out. But here was very quiet, the only sound was his footstep.

At the border of the map he couldn´t proceed forward, was like if the space had folded into itself. Nothing could cross out.

Giving up the border he walked to the shop. While browsing around he founded that not only it had guns other things like and hand mines, a full set of uniforms and communications equipment.

He happily wore a SWAT uniform and took the MP5 and made a few poses, thinking about how to improve his situation.
