Chapter 4: Volume I - Chapter 3: A New Chance
When I realized where the room I woke up in was, I froze for a few seconds.
Minutes, no... Just seconds ago I thought I was dead and I was going to stay in that dark place forever, but now...
Now I was in a room inside the game I most enjoyed spending time in.
Everything I touched screamed at me that this was 'real', but how was I supposed to believe it?
Trembling, I was looking at everything around me, trying to find traces that this was some kind of hallucination or dream when the mirror on the closet door not far from me caught my eye.
I stared at it for a while, afraid because I didn't have the courage to approach it.
Literally everything about this place reminded me of the room I had seen countless times. That's why I was afraid of seeing my reflection in the mirror, afraid that the person who would appear before me would not be 'me'.
Even though I felt like the walls were closing in on me, after a while I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I was scared, but I couldn't stand here forever.
So I stood in front of the mirror, even if I was shaking, and looked at my reflection.
The first thing I noticed was the coal-black hair, not long but not short either. I was also greeted by gray, almost colorless eyes, rather ordinary facial features, and a skinny and short body that could be no more than one hundred and seventy centimeters long.
I kept staring at my reflection in the mirror, because I didn't look like my old self, nor like any of the characters of the game I knew... Even though my facial features were quite ordinary, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of anyone with such an appearance.
Who... Who am I? Although... Where am I really in the first place? There's no way I'm really in the game, right?
I quickly looked around the room to see if there was a window and then I saw a wall covered with curtains.
I approached the curtain with slow steps, quickly pulled it aside, and couldn't help being dazzled by the sudden glare of the sun. After squinting to block out the light as much as possible, I looked outside and for the first time since I woke up here, I literally couldn't believe my eyes.
I must have been between the seventh and ninth floors of a building, so I was quite high up, but that didn't matter. Strange but familiar-looking modern buses easily visible through the glass, uniformed and non-uniformed people walking along the side of the roads, an academy campus that looked like a huge technology center...
I was so mesmerized by the landscape, glistening magnificently in the refracted light of the sun... All those animations I had once seen were now realistically in front of me, and it was so beautiful that I continued to look out as if I were a child seeing the sea for the first time. I could not take my eyes off this modern landscape that I could only see by looking out the window.
It was just... too beautiful.
~beep
In my absent-mindedness, I jumped when suddenly a sound echoed in the room. Then I saw a phone with a glowing screen right next to the bed I had just woken up in.
Curiosity got the better of me and I approached the very modern and simple-looking phone, but then something else caught my attention.
Right next to the phone were a few boxes that looked like they had been thrown without care. The word written on them was 'cyanide'.
When I saw that the boxes were almost empty, a horrible scenario came to my mind.
Me... Or rather, had the 'former me' committed suicide?
The more I read the glowing inscription on the boxes, the more the idea struck me, but if so, how was I alive?
I reflexively checked my body, but I seemed to be quite healthy. My theory was disproven as I realized that I had no pain or problems, but there could be no other explanation for the empty boxes.
While I was lost in thought, the screen of the phone next to the boxes flashed again and the 'beep' sound echoed in the room.
So when I picked up the phone, the first thing I looked at was the time and date.
When I looked at the date, I was reassured that I was indeed in the second part of the story mode because the day, month, and year were exactly the same as in the game, but I had a more important problem... When I read the notifications in the middle of the screen, I had no idea what to do.
Clara?
Who is Clara? I'm almost, but not quite sure, that I'm not related to this person by blood, because if she was a member of my family, her name would definitely be 'mom, sister' or something like that.
So is she my girlfriend or something? Although... I don't even own the body in the first place.
I paused for a moment, reconsidered what had just gone through my mind, and the moment I did, my eyes widened. Because I realized again what kind of situation I was actually in.
I've become someone I don't even know who I am and I'm pretty sure it's not a dream. In the same way, I'm in a game called The Lands of The Lunerra, but I've never met anyone who looks like this, neither my main character nor anyone else in the six thousand one hundred and thirty-two hours I've been playing the game.
I... I somehow died and then I entered the body of an extra, an 'extra' who committed suicide, who has no place in the story...
I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. I couldn't think straight because of a headache that was like a sharp dagger in the center of my forehead.
I tried to calm down by laying myself down on the bed, but the moment I closed my eyes, I remembered the dark place where I had spent who knows how much time, and I felt even more nauseous. I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
It took a while for me to find the bathroom, but as soon as I got in, I emptied my stomach into the toilet bowl, then went to the faucet to gargle a little because of the disgusting taste left in my mouth. After flushing the toilet, I lay back down on my bed, or rather on this body's bed.
Damn it...
When I closed my eyes, I quickly opened them again for fear of remembering that dark place, and this time I looked up at the ceiling.
No matter how much I denied it, I knew for sure that this was not a dream. The conversation I had with the producers after finishing the game, the pain I felt afterward, and that smile emoji I saw before my eyes closed... The producers of Lunerra are definitely responsible for what happened to me.
What am I supposed to do? First of all, what is the real identity and name of this body?
Is it really possible that there's a character I haven't seen, even if he's an extra in this damn game?!
I started to feel crushed by these thoughts, but then I suddenly realized that there was a glow in front of the ceiling I was watching.
Curiously I focused on the glow, how had I not noticed it in the first place? Even if it wasn't very bright, it certainly stood out...
I sat up and tried to reach for the glow, but the moment I touched it, or rather the void, the glow expanded and opened a holographic window in front of me.
I recognized the hovering window as soon as I saw it. This was Lunerra's in-game system for accessing all sorts of things like inventory, crafting tabs, and skills.
When this world 'woke up', it was this system that allowed people to become stronger. So, this system wasn't exclusive to me, everyone in the world had access to it.
Although we used to have some privileges as the main character, but now, in this game that has become my reality, I have no idea what the system can do.
I was strangely excited to see this holographic window floating in the air, but that excitement was dampened by a text that appeared in front of the window.
I stared at the message for a long time, not having the slightest idea what to do or even what to think, and it didn't take long for the rest of the message to follow.
My mouth opened, I wanted to curse whoever was talking to me, but I couldn't say anything.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
