章 1: Ch 1. The man with the gun
Time - Unknown
I was in a trance, when I saw myself inside this unknown wild land for the first time. For a time, I thought I was daydreaming. Then again a few pinches here and there beckoned me back to reality. My reality...
As, for real I was in this jungle and a sturdy rifle layed beside me which was more shocking as a matter of fact.
It was a kar98k bolt action rifle. A pure relic of ww2 era. While equipping it on, a voice inside my head spoke out...
"Welcome host"
A surreal blue screen flashed infront of me with stuffs written in white. Which described things, somewhat like this...
[Host] - Rahul Shikder
[Lvl] - 1
[Health] 500/500
[End] - 4
[Stam] - 2
[Int] - 9
[Dex] - 8
[Charm] - 1
[Mana] -
[Add. attribute points] - (+10)
[Skills]
[Active] - 0
[Passive] - [Basic Firearm Mastery]
(better than an average shooter, you will hit your target 7-8 times out of 10 shots & a slight increase in reload speed)
[Shop] [Exchange] [Store] [Notification]
It was surely, not a fantasy anymore for me. I have thought enough with logic, still I tried to find a sane answer for what was happening and I had failed miserably, again.
There was nothing else to be done rather accepting this reality. Without doing anything else would be a waste of time. I concentrated on my Info pannel, A.I. pannel or Host pannel (anything at that point said by me wouldn't have change this reality).
But the thing is, there were some options that were grey in colour like they were unavailable or unusable at the moment such as the shop and exchange options were totally grey in colour. And on the other hand the mana slot was totally blank!
This means, in this time zone magic was a possibility but the biggest question was where I was and in which timezone. Was it earth or any other place unknow?
All these questions were squeezing my mind like a devious serpent before engulfing it's prey completely.
Hunger accompanied by thirst came knocking at my door, a low growl from my stomach was heard.
Looking here and there made me realize about that minimap. It was just like any other game pannel and a minimap that would guide the player to safety.
Atleast I felt a bit secured as I would be knowing a bit tad in advance about what I was going to face.
While checking out for sometime, helped in discovering a medium blue icon. My instincts and previous gaming experiences suggested me to reach there. Voilà it was truly there, a small pond made from flowing water through the cracks of a small hill. I felt bit happy, knowing my instincts & experiences were not completely wrong...
After drinking to my hearts content next task was about securing a meal. Some green icons were near the pond as well as inside the pond too. It had to be fishes inside and it would be surely a very complicated thing about shooting fishes inside a pond. And it was very noobish in nature too. Fishing tools were needed...
So, opposite of the pond there were some rabbits and hares grazing the ground and one was even drinking water.
Through the crosshair of my rifle another thing that I noticed was, these animals has levels and names visible over their head with some flashy color.
The rabbit was lvl 2... So another thing was clear, that there was a lvl for every living being here on this place.
The rabbit looked cute & innocent, but another stomach growl spoke otherwise. I had given in to my survival instincts & crouched on the ground, to get a better aim...
KLAM
Spewing out lead-hate my rifle roared and the bullet whizzed through the air, a bullseye it was! Blood sprayed the nearby grounds some flesh and bones got blow out by this devastating lead collision. The bullet had made a big and transparent dent in that beings body while it lay lifeless on the ground.
The sound of my rifle had broke the silence of this wild tranquillity. In an unknown fear the birds flipped their wings to get away, ape like beings howled and screamed while jumping trees to trees for a safe zone. A constant whizz of cricket's had also came to a sudden end, like a dead silence. The other rabbits ran a bit far away after listening to this devastating death bugle.

[Earned 75exp+20 soul points for killing a rabbit]
Nice, actually I am getting experience points for killing. It could really help me in leveling up and for other stuffs too. Plus, I have to explore the whole system and to know what is this soul point.
A small rabbit cannot keep me feed for a whole day. I'll have to kill 2 more for now. And another 3 for night, as in night the real complications are to be faced by me. This jungle may still hold some unknow risk factors, that I'm unknow off...
KLAM KLAM
A dense cloud of fumes oozed out of my kar98k, filling the atmosphere with an unknown, uncommon smell of spent gunpowder as I kept on hunting more rabbits.

[Earned 75exp...]
I was already en route to earning experience's and leveling up. Next was skining and dressing the hunt before roasting them.
It was not upto the mark, but as a first timer it didn't suck though. Making the roasting zone with sticks and stones was not troublesome. The problem was mainly faced while trying to find some flint stones and then again it took me a very long time to ignite the flames.
After a long hastle, finally roasted hares were there. It didn't taste that good as it would have been with marination, proper stuffing or even some garnishing. At that moment salt & some regular spices were all I had craved. A bland aftertaste was left after the meal.
Still can't complain much, the situation is not reasonable enough.
I was almost full with two hares. To experiment with my inventory, I kept one roasted hare in [Store] to check out it's decay rate.
After having a fulfilling meal and an adequate source of fluid in my body, it was finally time to check out my A.I. interface.
Inside [Notification] there was three unopened messages. One said, "Host welcome to the despair system, hope you do better this time." What is despair system and why it's calling me a host & what is it about doing better this time! It is still mysterious & confusing...
The next one's a [Newbie (lvl 1) ammo pack]...
& the last one [Despair system welcome pack]...
A lot of info's dropped in my A.I. interface when I opened the ammo pack.
