As an ordinary college sophomore student, Alec Norman always focused on making sure he get good grades to graduate in flying colours. While Alec's school project demanded that he bought a Virtual Reality headset, he stumbled on a pawn shop and met an old man who gifted him a retro VR headset, a headset which he accepted begrudgingly. What he didn't know was that the VR headset he brought to his home would change the way he understood reality forever. Inspired from the novel 48 Hours a Day!
Taking out the gem item out, he projected one thought, and the needle shook a little before pointing due east. That was where the sniper was located.
Alec felt glad that this worked. The gem locator wasn't only used to locate a place, it can also be used for people. Does it mean that it can be used to locate anyone, even players?
That would be solved later. For now, there was a sniper on the roof that wants to spray his brain matter on the wall, something Alec won't allow. He crouched low and used his hands to move himself to the other room.
As soon as he was clear, he stood up and went out of the opposite window and jumped down, breaking his fall with the loose fabrics on the wall.
Then, he threaded silently towards the edge of the building and waited. He activated the hearing aid and let the sound project the image on his mind.
Still nothing.
The sniper was too far for the hearing aid to pick up. He counted to three and poked his head out and in very quickly.
