It felt like hours have gone by from the amount I been walking, but when I looked at my smart watch for the second time an hour has only gone by. I then pull out my phone and open the gps app to see if by any stroke of luck a map will pop up to see where I'm at.
"I highly doubt something will pop up, but better to see and not." I said quietly to myself.
The gps app loads up and at first nothing pops up but then a few seconds go by and something loads up. A map loaded with the blue dot, but the map was all grayed out with some areas having question marks on them expect from where I've been walking.
"No fucking way…" I whispered in disbelief as I zoomed out a bit to see if Alfheim was at least colored in since I was just there.
To my surprise, it was. I tapped on it and it showed I was ten miles away from there. This let me sigh in relief knowing it showed how far away some things would be. My phone's map was that like of a video game map where I'd have to go to said places to discover them. Cool, but a bitch to deal with cause of the amount of walking I'd have to do. Lucky for me, the map shows trails I can take to a nearby area. I tap the area with question marks to see how far it was. My breath hitched in my throat.
It was hundred and fifty miles to get there. By walking that would take me 3 days, maybe more if I had anything stop me from getting there.
"Nnnrrragh! FUCK!" I couldn't help but let out a yell in fustration. A few brids chirping away in fright and rabbits skampering away. With the fustration let out, I continued walking ahead.
As I was doing that I inspected my phone to see if everything was functioning alright after appearing here. From what I could tell everything looked fine, but when I looked at my battery charge to see what my percentage was at there was nothing there.
"Well that's new." I said in bewilderment.
I looked over at all my apps to see if anything else changed, but I didn't find anything changed. Though, a new app was on my phone. It was a blank white icon labeled menu and nothing else. Curiously, I open it and my stats, level, and my one skill appear.
I tap on my skill and it expands to different levels. Each different level I get to unlocks me different firearms, armor, explosives, different types of calibers, etc. The couple of sidearms and rifles looked to be all flintlock and as I scrolled through the rest revolvers appeared, lever actions, and shotguns popped up. The funny thing was that all of the weapons just appeared as a shadowed image. At level one it showed that I can use this flintlock pistol, which was a big down grade from my current P320.
"Cool… but how the hell would be able to use the flintlock pist—…" before even finishing my question the old pistol appears in my hand as I firmly grasp it. "Uh… guess that shovels that. How do I send it bac—…" the gun pops out of existence from my hand before I can finish my question again. I shook my head, clearly not understanding how this is working. Only thing I can chalk it up to is that all this works like a video game.
My thoughts go back on the weapons on how to summon them. I didn't know know if I had to say the name of said weapon, or I could just think of it with a thought and I could summon it.
"Flintlock pis-.." the gun again appears in my hand before I can even fully finish my sentence. "Well I guess that solves that then." I inspected the gun and found out it was one of the first of it generation guns in history. I could tell cause this thing had no rifling in the barrel (never look down a barrel of gun, IF you know what you're doing). So this thing would have horrendous accuracy. "Yeaaaah, I won't be using this thing anytime soon, or any of these older guns."
Just thinking of it appears right away. I was glad I didn't have to say it out loud to have the weapon appear. That would have been very annoying. I bring out my P320 and scroll through my phone to see if I had it and to my surprise I did. To my surprise even more, I had to unlock this at level fifty. To my luck I even had the ammo unlocked for it as well. Regular nine millimeter, FMJ, hollow point, and subsonic.
"Huh, subsonic? I wonder if I can use a suppressor." I tab on the P320 on my phone and it opens up a sub menu for it. A wide smile spread across my face as different attachments pop up for me to use on my pistol.
I put my phone away in my pocket and I thought of the suppressor. It quickly appeared in my left hand and I screwed that bad boy on. I looked over my handgun with an unhealthy amount of desire to shoot something. Then suddenly, I heard this weird buzzing and I felt my body tense up. The sudden urge to duck down felt overwhelming so I did just that. As soon as I ducked an arrow flew over me and embedded itself into a nearby tree.
I heard my smart watch notification chime, but I paid it no mind as I brought up my pistol and aimed where the arrow came from. The buzzing came up again this time being a lot lot louder. I quickly jumped back as a huge ball of fire was hurled where I was once standing. The attack exploded sending me stumbling back a bit from the shockwave and heat.
I felt my heart start to race, scanning the area for any threats. I couldn't see anything but bushes and trees. Then again, that heightened sense of danger sound came up. I swiftly brought my gun up and shot three rounds up at a tree. I heard a ear piercing screech as this grotesque looking goblin fell to the floor with a heavy thump.
I spin around and shoot three more rounds into another goblin who jumped down at me with short sword, screeching and swinging like a bat out of hell. Two rounds hit it's chest and the other one hitting dead center between it's eyes. I move to the side to avoid the body and when I did that I felt pain shoot from my calve.
"Ah, fuck!" I screamed out in pain. I look down at my leg and see my pant leg ripped as blood pours from a deep cut. "Damn son of a bitch."
I fired at the offending little shit, but it started dashing around with crazy speed that I could barely keep up with. The damn freak started grinning at me with this toothy ass smile that was really pissing me off. Before I knew it, I was out of ammo. The goblin took notice and dashed towards me with its sword pointed out towards me.
Time seemed to slow down a bit as soon as the tip of its sword was a few inches away from my chest. I felt myself shift to the side to avoid it. Everythinh moved normally again once it flew last me. I stumbled back a bit as I hissed in pain. I put a hand to my chest and found blood. The goblin was momentarily stunned so I took my chance to back pedal a bit and hide behind a tree.
I ejected the empty magazine and it disappeared before it can touch the floor. I thought of a fully new mag and it appeared in my left hand. I smiled brightly as I slid it in and racked the slide. Before I can go back into the fight I felt faint all of sudden, but it was only momentarily. I shook my head a bit to get rid of the fuzziness and pushed off the tree.
I dived to the floor and rolled to my feet. A sword was now embedded into the tree and the damn goblin who threw in was running towards me while cackling madly. It jumped in the air as it dived at me with its hands reaching out towards me. From the look on its face it thought it was going to win this fight, but not exactly.
I aimed my pistol at it and fired two rounds, both hitting center mass on its chest. I move to the side as it flys past me into a bush dead. Before I can relax, I sensed danger once more and I spun around to find a glowing red goblin rushing towards me. This one looking ready to pop. My mind was screaming at me to run away. I shot a couple rounds toward it l, but its speed was quick and it dodged them all.
The only thing to do was listen to my mind and haul ass. Pain shot up from my cut calve all of sudden, stumbling a bit in the process. I tried to catch my footing, but I turned around to see the goblin screeching in delight as it lunged at me glowing even brighter as it got closer. I felt myself start to panic as time started to slow down again. I took aim and fired four rounds, two just grazing it and the other two hitting it on the chest and head.
Soon as the round hit its head it bursted into big explosion and sent me tumbling back and hitting a tree. The force from it knocking the wind out of me. My head hurt, my vision fading in and out as I tried to get up and shake of the dizziness.
"Argh, what the fuck" I coughed out in pain. I look up with blurry vision to find some blurry individuals rushing towards. I couldn't muster the strength to bring up my pistol and shoot of off some warning shots to have them back away. I felt myself start to black out, the group of blurrs in front of me now. Their voices sounding panicked and muffled.
"Heh, well… at least you guys aren't those little… freak" that last part coming out drowned out, the void of black overtaking my senses.
