Death Guns In Another World

In a room shrouded entirely in the darkness somewhere, Leonardo was tied up against something. He was naked, with many black tentacles piercing through his body, pouring something into his body.

Leonardo's face was pale as a ghost; his blond hair had lost its luster, and his eyes were unfocused. His right arm keeps pulsating as if it was alive.

''So, they knew I came with a goal but still took me in. They did this because of this moment. While I don't know what they are planning to do with me, I can be sure that it will be nothing good.'' Leonardo mumbled alone in the darkness.

When he accepted the mission to infiltrate the enemy's rank, he knew it would be dangerous someday; he might get caught, but what he hadn't expected was it would be this soon; Lord Thanos told him that he knew he had come to their side with a purpose from the beginning and that purpose had never been to gain immense strength but to locate and inform his accomplice.

''Damn it. It would have been great if I knew where we are, but unfortunately, I'm still unable to say where the headquarter is exactly. I should try probing again; maybe this time, I might get some unexpected rewards.''

''Ugh! It hurts like hell. I'm slowly losing myself, but I refuse to go down so easily. There are still a lot of things I have unfinished. I have to apologize to her; I have sinned. All of this wouldn't have happened if I was not an idiot blinded by rage and by my ego. It would have been different if I let go of my inferiority complex and honestly competed against him after we were reincarnated. It is too late to change what I have done but not too late to be a better man, a better boyfriend for her; she has done a lot for him; she has always been there. I bet even now; she must be still searching for me. Even if I were to die, I'd do it only after seeing her and apologizing. Please forgive me, Camilla, I'm... I'm.... Co... ming soon.''

He couldn't maintain his consciousness and was forced to close his eyes slowly. Leonardo decided to take a short rest and began his plan; when he woke up, that man, the doctor in charge of him, would have come by then.

'It does matter if I'm playing your game, Alex. One day I'll surpass you.'

That was the last thing he said before, completely losing consciousness.

At the same time, Alex, who was leaving the forbidden and woke up in the real world, felt something and smiled.

''Someone must be talking about me. Let's sleep for now and treat Incursio tomorrow.''

•••••

Under the faint moonlight outside the window, Sera's face seemed to glow with a crystalline radiance. Alex stopped and admired her beauty before lowering his head to give her a goodnight kiss. He immediately falls asleep beside her.

The following morning, sunlight shone through the cracks in the curtains and illuminated the room.

Alex was still sleeping while Sera was nowhere to be seen, but soon, this changed as she walked into the room dressed in pajamas. Sera was holding the breakfast she had cooked.

''Wake up, sleepyhead, it's already 9 a.m.'' She said and gently nudged him.

''Let's me sleep some more,'' Alex said, turning to the other side.

''Stop playing. I know you are already awake.'' Sera shot him a glare.

Alex lifted his face and greeted Sera with a smile.

''Morning Sera.''

''Morning Alex. Come eat breakfast.''

''I'm coming.'' Alex jumped out of bed and joined her after visiting the bathroom.

Sitting on the bed, Alex spread the avocado over the toast and sprinkled tomato on top as if it were cake decorations. There was a joy in how he did it, as if, for a moment, he was happily absorbed by a feeling of love that played in his subtle smile and soft gaze. Then he brought it to his mouth and ate it; his eyes widened to indicate his surprise at how delicious this breakfast was.

No word was needed; they understood each other. Sera smiled that she had woken up early to prepare this breakfast. She was happy that her boyfriend loved her cooking. For the first time ever, she could see every day of this future filled with gentleness and love; she wanted it; she wanted to stay and be a part of it more than anything she ever wanted.

And as if he could see through her, Alex said.

''Don't worry, we will have all the eternity to enjoy this.''

''Eternity, huh? I guess you're right. I'm looking forward to it.'' Sera said before cleaning the bed.

Afterward, she asked for a mock battle, and the result was to be expected; she lost, but she was happy she forced Alex to use his time ability.

''You said you have something to show me. Is this related to Incursio?" Sera asked after leaving the bathroom.

Alex nodded. ''I know how to wake her. Follow me.''

Sera got dressed and followed him to Incursio's room. She was still unconscious, but her leg had almost regenerated.

Sera observed Incursio and had difficulty associating this small girl with the monster she had heard about.

''Don't let her small build mislead you; she is powerful, far more dangerous than anything you ever faced,'' Alex warned before aiming Silveria at her chest and fired without hesitation.

BANG!

The silver bullet penetrated Incursio's chest and her body. Her chest glowed in a silver hue before a black mist escaped her body and was disintegrated by the remaining silver light.

Silence!

Incursio didn't wake up, but her leg regenerated completely.

One minute, two minutes, five, fifteen minutes.

Alex was getting impatient; he wondered if he had failed, but soon, his expression brightened because Incursio woke up.

''Huh? Where am I, and who are you, people?" Those were the first words she said.

Sera looked at Alex, confused by the sudden development, but Alex's mood wasn't great at the moment.

''Fuck!"

He felt like breaking something with his fist to vent his frustration.

However, the following words uttered by Incursio made his face twitch.

''Nah! I'm joking. You have to look at your face when I said that; how priceless. Fufufu! I know your name. Alexander and Sera codename Zero.''
