Death Guns In Another World

After experiencing many illusions, both sweet and sour, Alex finally broke free and reappeared in front of the man that look like Lord Thanos.

''Wow! It took you long enough, two months 3 days to be exact.'' The man said observing Alex up-down.

Alex calmly observed his surrounding, he did his best to reign in his boiling anger and asked.

''Is that all?''

There was a certain provocative tone in his sentence prompting the man who looks like Thanos to burst into a burst of laughter.

''Pft hahahahaha. Of course not, I'll be waiting in that place. Survive until you reach my castle and we shall finally have a talk, Alexander Kael Touch, the chosen of fate, the unfortunate child.'' The man announced before fading away.

Alex frowned looking in front of him, there were a lot of things he wished to ask but guess he would have to play this game for a little bit more.

Feeling his strength coming back, Alex clenched his fist before violently swinging it downward and like a glass, the reality around him was broken.

?????

The network of roads that led to Dumbarton was still somewhat discernible despite the many cracks and holes given to it by the elements. The crisp and clean-looking town now looked more like a jungle as trees and gardens grew beyond their now unkempt boundaries.

Remnants of packages and magazines still lay at some of the doorsteps, unopened and long forgotten. At least the animals got some use out of them.

Broken roof tiles lay in the streets and gardens and crusty, dry paint faded from walls and fences.

Dumbarton, once nothing more than a simple, quiet town was now but an eerie shell of its former self. Silence had taken hold and would've been deafening were it not for the many animals that had made this place their home. Bird songs, rustling bushes, and the occasional howl filled the air.

The art gallery was once the cultural pride and joy of this town and tourists flocked to see the art displayed here. Now it was home to a flock of doves who've destroyed most art pieces in their ignorance of what it once meant to so many people.

It was a lonely place with only distant memories of what once was. But with nothing else to lose this town had a strange sense of comfort about it. Like a world of opportunity, except there was nobody there to take it.

In the middle of this ghost town, Alex was lying unconscious when suddenly his body twitched a few times before he slowly raised his upper body which was covered in dust.

''Fuck, what with this awful smell.''

Of course, the first thing he did was to swear. The smell coming from his body was awful because he didn't bath for months, also there was a putrid smell lingering in the air and a black sun in the sky, the whole thing give a cursed place vibe.

〖Welcome back master, we miss you.〗Silveria's sweet voice which he missed dearly rang out inside his head making him relax his body.

''I miss you too but first, let me take care of my body before we talk.''

〖I agree!〗Silveria could feel the awful smell emanating from her master's body even where she was, a testament to how bad it was.

Half an hour later, Alex was clean and freshly dressed.

His fairly short-sleeved, velvety jacket covers him to his knees and is tightly tied with string at the right side. The sleeves of his jacket are a little narrow and reach down to just above his hands, they're decorated with a single thread lining from top to bottom.

The jacket has a deep, rectangular neckline that reveals part of the noble shirt worn below it and is worn with a small leather belt, which is held together by a simple knot. The leather belt is slightly decorative, but mostly there to hang things from.

His pants are simple and quite wide and reach down to his bound cloth shoes. The shoes are made from a fairly rare cloth but are otherwise a design found commonly.

''So how long have I been in the coma?''

After finding a nice place less smelly Alex asked Silveria whom he trusted more than Bahamut's mortal incarnation.

Silveria materialized and sat beside him before answering his question.

''You have been unconscious for 2 months and two weeks.''

'Longer than expected.'

Alex sighed, dejected to have lost so many days but upon recalling what he went through he thought it was not necessarily a bad thing.

''Your trip must have been eventful because something changed, not only has your strength increased, there seems to be something more, a certain air of confidence,'' Silveria remarked after a long observation.

Alex raised an eyebrow, he could feel something different now that Silveria pointed out, he thought after going through all these illusions the only thing that changed was the synchronization rate with his women but not.

Calming down his excitation Alex was about to summon his status window to check his current progress but Silveria wasn't planning on letting him have it so easy.

''Master, what do you think you're doing?'' She asked with her head tilted to the side.

Alex felt a headache coming, he massaged his temple while doing his best not to shout.

''I understand, so what do you want?''

Silveria smiled seeing Alex being so obedient, it felt like she just won a war so she couldn't stop smiling.

''Speak before I change my mind,'' Alex said annoyed and Silveria could feel it but she simply giggled.

''Well, I'm just curious about what happened while you were unconscious. You can slowly tell me everything that happened and please don't live out any details.'' She brought popcorn as if she was at the cinema.

''I get it, but first, tell me, is this still inside the Abyss?'' Alex said while looking at the black sun in the sky. Although he knew the answer, he still asked just to be sure that he was still inside the abyss, he wouldn't want to start everything from the beginning.

''Of course, it is,'' Silveria confirmed his guess much to his joy.

''So now can you tell me what you went through?'' She didn't forget to press him for an answer.
