Chapter 1: Shattered

(2024 / 10 / June)

(Italy)

(23:32)

In a simple appartment we can see that a young man was inside the living room chilling, he was currently the only one there since the others were sound asleep on their respective beds.

Only he remained since he was playing on his Playstation 4, he was currently seated on a simple kitchen chair with the small pillow as a comforting leaning piece, he was dressed casually just like a young man would dress at home.

With gray shorts and a simple white shirt, the classic. His hands were a little sweaty from the intense playing while his face was contorted in stress, his head was full of veins indicating his pissed mood.

His fingers were moving frantically all over the old Joystick while moving his body as if he was being shoot at.

(23:47)

"Ughh" his character grunted while falling on the ground dead, while a woman continued to shoot the others with her twins pulse pistols and blinking away annoyingly.

Lamine slammed his fist on his leg in frustration while cursing with hate: "Fuck you Tracer! This fucking blink here and blink there! Haaaargh!!!" He screamed silently while he was grabbing his head with desperation, this fucking hero was continuously killing him and disappearing soon after, it didn't matter what Lamine did, she would always dodge and escape!

{The mc name is pronounced Laminn.}

"Hahh Hahh" he begun to breathe deeply while looking at the screen with killing Intent, he has been playing for three hours straight at Overwatch and he lost most of the matches!

It's understandable since he has just begun the previous day after a friend suggested him to play, but for the love of God, how irritating this game was.

It was fun but...

"Ooohhh [Gyonnus].. if i catch you..." He begun to pray for the downfall of the player while reviving again, he was using the beautiful and cool healer, Mercy.

Lamine thinks that he is pretty good as a healer for playing only six comulative hours at the game, but this Tracer is really a pain in the ass, what makes him even mad is that it doesn't matter wich hero he chooses, he always dies while when the others uses them, they always have infinite life and high damage.

But who was he? He was one that hardly gave up so he continued to hunt that Tracer using the Caduceus Blaster of Mercy, what? You thought he would go and heal his allies? Nahhh he wants to hunt that player down.

The others can fend for themselves.

[Victory]

The game slowed down while a yellow and azzure word came on the screen, even though Lamine squad won, his face didn't show any joy, he pressed the big square button on the pad and the ranking came on the screen.

He had 0 kills and 34 deaths...

"...."

Silence... Lamine face was even more black than the normal while he got up and stared deeply at the replay from Tracer best kill, and casually the one she was killing was none other than Lamine himself.

(23:59)

"Wallahi... If only i could go inside of this game..." He was glaring with immense emotions at the slowed down replay before the digital clock come to a still.

(00:00)

And then, the reality broke, just like a mirror, Lamine face changed from rage to complete shock and awe, he turned around and looked at how everything in front of him broke in countless pieces while a loud sound was heard, just like a mirror breaking sounds like.

The condominium broke completely while he begun to float against his will, after the building broke, the other buildings and neighborhood followed soon after, then the city, country, continent and then, the world.

Lamine was able to feel and see it even more stunning him, after the world broke down the solar system broke too, Lamine witnessed how the Sun broke into countless mirror pieces, and by turning his head he saw the countless stars and deep void on the universe shatter.

His face was numb at this time, he was a guy who consumed many fictional works all over the internet, so he always had the hope of something fictional happening to him.

So after the first moment of shock he tried to stay composed and analyze his situation while trying to memorize and remember everything he saw, he was pretty sure that this was real and not a dream, since he doesn't smoke or do any disgusting thing.

And dreams are not as real and clear as this!

Lamine looked at how the supposed 'Universe' broke and reconstructed while the mirror pieces floated towards his body and merged with him in front of his eyes, until he stood on his living room on the same exact spot he was previously in, he looked at the room and then at his hands in wonder.

He felt a new unfamiliar energy flowing on every single cell on his being.

Even though he seemed composed from the outside he was pretty much shocked as fuck, comprensibile since it's not every day that this type of thing happens.

Lamine walked over the kitchen and took a plastic cup from the dispenser and poured himself some water and drank it all like he was a child who just got home after playing.

'Damn, what the fuck just happened!' he thought seriously while looking around, he didn't speak since after this he was pretty sure that there might be someone who is listening.

Probably...

After drinking some more he then looked at the clock hung at the wall on top of the door.

(00:02)

He didn't realize it but all of that shattering phenomenon just happened in a second, so for the normal eyes of a normal human, he was just staring intently at the screen and then he froze, one second later he turned his head and looked around the room until he headed towards the kitchen to drink water

Lamine shook his head and walked towards the Living room again and headed to the bedroom to see if his brothers and little sister were okay.

After he checked on them and not seeing problems he signed in relief and looked at the door of his parents bedroom, but he shook his head and walked towards the living room again.

He looked at the game menu and pondered for some time.
