Leaving the pod, I stretched hard. I was exhausted and growing more exhausted by the day. That did not mean I was not having the fun of a lifetime. Virtual Reality Call of Duty can go fuck itself. Galaxy Online was amazing and rewarding. Having fun with Ura, exploring the Galaxy, and the morality were just so realistic. I liked that I was able to become a Smuggler and Bounty Hunter.
People were joining the military, Peace Core, Federation, Joining the Pirates, and various other things. The list could go on forever from what I had been reading and doing myself. I noticed a thread on the internet that said people were starting to wonder if this was some type of Isekai reality where we entered a new reality through the pods.
That prompted what I now see on my computer as I check out the forums.
Gabin Corporation: We regret to inform you that what you have been seeing in Galaxy Online is not another universe. We are not wizards, but we also want our engineers, programmers, AI specialists, creative minds, and so many other people in our company to get the credit they deserve.
The realistic NPCs in the game are NPCs. We created a robust set of parameters in the universe and built massive structures of Artificial intelligence to run simulated intelligence. We have made breakthroughs in Artificial intelligence but have not created true intelligence. We have just created extremely lifelike and as close to reality as we can. The compliments that people are giving us that they are indistinguishable are immensely satisfying.
That being said, we hope that you are enjoying the game to the fullest. We are immensely satisfied with the community's response after people stopped thinking the Tutorial was too hard.
Galaxy Online is a place we hope to explore with you for years to come.
Gabin Corporation.
The announcement brought speculation and conspiracy theories which I found myself struggling to try not to believe. This statement made all of them worse because if you had created true artificial intelligence, would you try to hide it?
Then again, why would they make a game with it instead of many, many other things? I shrugged. I was struggling to think of Ura as a computer program. Did that make me weak? Was there not a huge issue years ago with people falling in love with chatbots?
I picked up my phone, looked at the time, and needed a distraction. I called Amber. Amber picked up after two rings, “Hello, Honey. Long time no hear from you.
“I have been grinding hard,” I said honestly, “And fucking an alien beauty,” I admitted.
“Oh, I did not know you could get that close with others in this game. There was this little twink half-goblin that I thought about trying out,” Amber replied, sounding intrigued.
“Mmmm, That sounds like you're interested in playing the game and having sex in it.”
“The Characters feel real—or at least certain ones. There are some that,” Amber paused. “They don't feel smart.”I don't know, but it doesn't matter at this moment. Are you going to be continuing the grind? I have been missing you if I am honest.”
“Well, I have gotten close to making my own gun out of ingots. That has been my goal. I want to create each piece of a gun from scratch and turn it into a weapon that shoots the bullet type I want. I think I will take a break or slow down for a couple of days after that.”
“Do you want me to plan something fun?” Amber asked.
“I was thinking of going to the bar, finding a treat for the both of us to sandwich, and taking them up to the room.” I replied with a grin she could not see, “Or maybe we can fulfill that promise to Ola.”
“The black guard?” Amber asked, “How big is he?”
“Big and knows how to use it. Same with his mouth, he is a Masochist, and he does not mind me either. Very open-minded.”
“You're selling him to me easily. I have not tried that type of play in a while.” Amber paused, “How is his stamina?”
“I think his record is six in a night. But that might be him bragging, although Ola doesn't really do that.”
“You like him?”
“He is a great guy. Or I can get that woman that I might have impregnated and her cuck husband, and we can have fun. A Couple dominating another couple.”
“You know, Honey. You are amazing, such a breath of fresh air; I really do want to take you out on a date, too.”
“We can find some time in the coming days, but I am really busy right now.”
“I understand; this game is a lot of fun. I am enjoying myself a lot as an Agent.”
“I am very happy to hear that,” I honestly replied, “You know, I got a quick idea. How about in a few days? You come here, and we can have a movie night. You and me, a two-hour movie, both of us know are trash, enjoy each other's body with just some basic bitch Vanilla sex, just to let off some steam, then head home?” I said and continued quickly, “Honestly, I would ask you to sleep over, but I have a sleep stream to do.”
“You have a place we can do that?”
“My bed,” I replied, “Movie on my computer.”
“That was the least romantic invitation for a date if I ever have had one. Please come over, have sex with me, then get out.” Amber said bluntly.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Well, we both know I am busy, and we both hate beating around the bush unless it is a woman's bush. So I thought I would tell you how the night would go, and you can agree or not.”
“I want to do something kinky to you, though,” Amber suddenly pouted.
“Hmmm,” I thought about it, “Then think of something,” I replied bluntly after coming up with nothing. “You can do something to me that will get me in the mood to be dominated. Whatever you want as long as it does not pass those boundaries we already set forth.”
“Oh, I have an idea then. I might even like the consequences of it. It is a date, then. Let me know when you want me to come over. I will rock your world.”
“Promise is a promise,” I replied, “I will talk to you later, Amber. I look forward to that date.”
I hung up the phone, and I shivered. How was it that Amber got me so in a submissive mood? It was like I was having a hard time getting dominant around her lately. It was the energy, I think, she gave off or something.
Instead of thinking about Amber and my mind now distracted I got to working out and eating a light meal. Then I went back to shower then bed.
When I woke up in the morning and talked to my viewers, it seemed to grow as I looked increasingly tired. I got back into the game for a delivery rather than more crafting. Days went by in the game where I crafted and only took breaks for food and character upkeep and sometimes spent time with Ura.
I was working hard, extremely hard, and suddenly, I was rewarded for my dedication, even though I had been doing it for over a week in the game.

Then I realized what had happened as I finished screwing in the last screw on the pump shotgun I had been working on. It was my first build, and while making the parts of the gun from scratch, I loaded a cartridge into it and smiled brightly. It fit like a damn glove, and I started to load twelve rounds into the gun from underneath.
I modeled this shotgun from the Remington 870 model because it was my favorite from Call of Duty. I pumped the gun after loading it, and it quickly discharged the loaded round without issue. I pumped out every shell, and it was perfect, and the smile on my face probably was splitting my face. I could not believe how smooth it was on my first try, and another notification suddenly showed up.

The sudden spam of notifications made me smile, and I could not help myself as I looked at the shotgun. I wanted to give it a good name and grinned as I thought of a good one for what I wanted to do with the gun. It was not a great name, but I liked it.
“I will name it the Bunker Buster.” I grinned and received a couple more notifications.

I looked at the last trait, and I grinned. I looked at the gun. Although it was close to the Remington 870, it was not exactly the same. As I got into making guns, I started getting a little ahead of myself and found a stock crafting tutorial that helped lower recoil. I adopted that into the design and increased the shotgun's length. I was thinking I would either go out with the shotgun or the sniper. The assault rifle can be used for both mid-range and far-range combat. The Shotgun was something I would have to get used to. But I named it after what I wanted to use it for. Busting open, people bunkered down.
The truth is, while I was also reading and watching videos on the internet, I learned video games have lied to me for my entire life. Although sawed-off shotguns are close-range, actual shotguns can be far-range, too. They can be both depending on the ammo type. Armed with that knowledge, I made this gun for both. I could picture it now. I would load the first shell with Slug round meant for armor breaking and smashing through things. Then, three rounds of anti-personnel and status-type shots. Then, every fourth round, there is a slug for that range. That way, with that smooth pump action, I could pump out shells quickly and have accuracy and spread.
I grinned viciously and heard a whistle, making me turn, “Is that done?” Ura asked, looking impressed at my new shotgun.
“Well, after taking apart shotguns and putting them together along with a little outside ingenuity,” I said, referring to online tutorials, “I made something I think I will love to use. I need to try it out before I can truly say it is complete,” I grinned, “but I want to say it is really deadly.”
“Don't try it on the ship; we are due for orbit in half a day. You can try it out on a shooting range there.”
I grinned, “I look forward to it.”
