Chapter 1 - Prologue

Everything happened in a few seconds. Guns shooting, screaming, slashing noises and a pool of blood.

The person who did this, didn't really care. He was on a timer. He need to finish this mission quickly before time runs out.

After a few hours, it is done. He fired his last gun shot.

"Just my lucky day"

He just smile and wait for the cutscene to finish. After it's done,he skip the end credits. Then he log out and took off his helmet.

"Huff, that exhausting. That's probably the most extreme kill that I have done. Now pay up chat."

The notification ringing not stop for a couple of minutes, a lot viewers donating money. He smile again.

A/N

(If you guys never watch livestream before, when streamers say "chat", usually they're talking to their chatroom,basically everyone. Sort of shorthand for saying "all my viewers")

"Chat sure like to make bets huh. Anyway, this is the end of the run. I'm tired right now so if you guys have any questions just type it in. I'll try to answer it. I'll probably answer anything that catches my eyes I guess. So chat start typing."

The ones that catches his eyes was asking about the his sense of touch setting for the VR. So he clicked his mouse and show the viewers.

"Chat that name 'GigaChad' question about my VR sense of touch setting. Of course I put it on real life because I want to feel challenged. There's low and medium if you feel that the pain is too much. Or you can just turn it off." He continues.

"I heard some players that gets torture in the game and now traumatized by it. So be careful when using the sense of touch setting in real life. If you're in danger, make sure pause and load back the last save point. Next question."

Viewers question him about how many total people he kill in the game, favorite guns, which tactic or strategy that he like to use. He looks very tired while still focusing on a few questions to answer.

"How many total kill I have in game? I'm not sure. I didn't check my statistic gameplay today. I'm not sure if you're asking about my total kill count only for the previous storyline gameplay or overall total to all my gameplay. I invested a lot in MVS(Man vs Steel). So I kill a lot, hope that answer your question."

"What is my favorite gun? Easy, sniper rifle. Which tactic or strategy I like to use? Stealth, obviously. It's better to kill them without them knowing. I also like to snipe from a far distance.

"I like to play it safe. In this gameplay run that i brutally kill everyone is not my play-style, it's way more faster than stealth approach but I took a lot of damage and it's painful."

"Well, I have medicine and painkiller to heal me but it's still not a great strategy. Because chat making a bet that if I can clear in the last battle boss story arc within 2 hours and 30 minutes, so I just rush. I skip a lot of people and places to reach the boss. Normally it will take at least 4 hours to finish the last arc, but I manage."

After that he answer the questions about tips and tricks about the game. He didn't give a full detail and still try to focus to not fall asleep on stream.

"Chat, I'm so tired right now so I will answer one last question before end stream."

So he try to find one last question and one question caught by his eyes.

"Who is my favorite character in MVS? Again this question." He sigh and ready to just finish this last question. "I've been playing this game for 5 years now and my answer is still going to be the same. Its Natasha. She's not in the romance option partner, she's one of the main Villains in the game." He continue.

"She's beautiful and smart. She been through a lot. I read the MVS novel, it's a prequel of the game storyline. Her story is messed up. She was force into a debt that can never be freed until one of the main villain help her. After that she's raised to the top rank villain and basically becoming one of the villains mastermind. Planning everything try to stop and kill the MC in the game."

"She's not physically strong and bad with guns. Her strength lies in her skills ability. The reasons why she is my favorite character in MVS is not because she's have a messed up story line, it's because she is a survivor. She's gone though hell and still fighting to reach the heaven. She did, and she dies. The only option when I met her in game, is to kill her or someone else kill her. There's no option to safe her."

"Anyway, I'm done talking about that. So tomorrow is my day off, and I'll be continuing streaming after tomorrow . Later chat."

He waved his hand on the cam and after a few minutes, he shut down his computer. He left the gaming room and when to the bathroom. After showering, he when to his bedroom. After changing his clothes, he when to bed trying to sleep. Then his phone rang.

RING!RING!

He look the caller ID name 'Maxwell'. And he answer the called and press the speaker option.

"What?"

[Dude, you still on?]

"On what?"

[We have a rank match tonight remember. You, me and Orlando playing team battle royal in MVS. Me and Orlando keep losing 3 matches in a row and we're not even in top 10. We losing in top 20. I need to rank up tonight bro. Help me bro, please?]

"Shit, it's tonight huh. Look, I'm so tired right now and I don't know why I'm so exhausted. I'll play with you guys tomorrow. I just want to sleep right now. Say hi to Orlando for me and sorry Max."

[Dude, are you okay? Are you sick or something? I'll go to your apartment right now and bring some cold and cough medicine. Just wait for me.]

"Wait. No dude, I'm okay. Just tired. I'll help you rank up tomorrow. Is my day off. You guys can stream here if you want too. I'll make up for it by paying breakfast tomorrow. You good?"

[You sure you're okay? Nothing serious or anything?]

"I'm sure. If I don't pick up a call tomorrow, you guys can just enter my apartment like you always do. So good night bro."

[You too Ryan.]

After that Ryan ended the call. He then try to continue to sleep again. He looks peaceful and also with a smile. While he's in a dream, he mumble a name.

"Natasha"

***

Everything is dark and I couldn't see anything. I walk forward, to the left and right. It's still dark. After a few minutes walking. I just sit down.

'Where the hell am I?'

I'm still confused in this situation then suddenly I saw a light. I stand up and walk towards the light.

'Am i going to heaven or something.'

After reaching the light, I go past through it. And everything change, I saw a building. A lot of buildings. I saw a lot of people walking at the sidewalk so I join them. I was walking to see clearly where I am.

'This some kind of urban dystopian futuristic style. Also a lot of neon light. Wait, is this MVS? Am I still in a game?'

After that I just stop. I was thinking of something. 'Pause' but the game didn't stop. People still walking.

'Strange, I try it one more time. Pause. Pause. Pause. Shit, it's not working. Logout!. Logout! Fuck!'

I try everything I can to logout the game but I couldn't. I even try to contact the VR help support but failed. I was about to panic. Then someone bump in front of me. It was women.

"Ouch" the women cried. She then fall down.

I was in a daze, took me for a few seconds to see what's going on. So I walk few step towards the women thought that she might need help. So I show my hand to support her to get up.

"I'm really sorry Miss, I was so confused to where I am that I stop moving and bump into you."

Then she hold my hand to support her body get up. And I see her face, her eyes color is blue. She have a beautiful face. Fair skin. Her hair is long and black in color. Her body shape is an hourglass. Her clothes is covered by a few armor. It's probably a light armor type armor so it's not heavy. She reminds me of someone but she looks a little younger than her.

"I never knew a guy can just stand still and knock a person down like that. I even have an armor on me."

"I'm really sorry Miss. I think that I'm lost and I don't know where I was going."

"Do you have a phone? You basically can pinpoint where you are and where you wanted to go."

I search though both of my pockets of my jeans but only find an ID card. So I shook my head.

"I only have my ID card, I lost my phone."

I just smile sadly. I basically just lie. I don't have a phone, it's better that I say I lost my phone. This game is weird, mostly npc doesn't ask questions about something like phone or have a real expression on a face before. This one looks real. They do talk but they don't really ask questions before.

"Do you need help to go somewhere?" She ask.

"Do you know where's the nearest phone shop is? I'm new here so I don't where i am."

At this point, I'm trying to figure it out where actually am I. I don't remember being in this city in the game. Actually, am I still in a game or this is real. I hope that she can help me.

"Mmm. The thing is, we basically are strangers to each other. I don't think I can just help someone just because we bump into each other. That person might have bad intentions toward me." She said.

I was silent for a moment trying to think something to reason with her but I can't say anything. I just sigh deeply.

"I'm sorry Miss, you're right. Sorry to bother you. Again, so sorry that I bump into you."

I just slightly bow my head and left. I continue to walk on a busy sidewalk. There's just so many people. I don't really know where I'm going. I saw a few buildings, people going out and in.

And now I figured it out. This isn't a game anymore, what I know is that in MVS, a lot of building is for decoration of dystopian futuristic setting. Only a few building that you can go in like shop store, villains and bandits hideout, also MC apartment and some quest in story line. But now every building is full of people. I can see though the glass window.

'Shit just got real, I really need to buy a phone. I don't know if I got any money though. I know that in MVS, my bank account is in my ID card. Maybe this one is the same.'

I took out my ID card and hold it. I said 'bank account' in my mind. I saw a small blue screen. It show the amount of money that I have.

'5000 unit, it have the same money currency as MVS. MVS knowledge works here too. What is that even mean. Am I still in the game or not.' And something strikes in my head. Thinking about the possibility that can happen to me can only be one thing.

"I got isekai'd"
