Firearms in a World of Magic

[This novel has been discontinued.] In world of magic and mythical creatures, who wouldn't dream of living there? From incredibly tall and steep mountains to floating islands with huge waterfalls going down below to the endless horizon of sea. Legendary magicians capable of destroying whole mountain ranges, druids terraforming an entire desert into a lush tropical paradise and even more exciting stuff. Last but not least, magic. The concept of mana all around everything. Being able to spark a fire without using a lighter to flying endlessly on the blanket of clouds in the cold breezy sky. There's no questioning why people wouldn't practice magic. However, there was a man who reincarnated in that said world and unfortunately for him, he had little to no talent in magic. Regardless of that; on one fateful day, he suddenly woke up to the surprise of a firearm by the side of his bed. That was when he knew, he didn't need magic after all. “If I can't use magic, I'll just use my knowledge of guns to make up for it!” He said, not knowing what was to come in the future. --- If you want to be quick, you can skip to Chapter 8. The synopsis does already covers some of it but you'll miss out at the characters.

Prologue (Optional)

Disclaimer: I actually think that this current prologue is unnecessary thus I think this is optional for people to read. I'll leave this prologue for now and focus on the main chapters. The reason to my decision is that I'll eventually rewrite this chapter after the first volume is completed.

* * * * *

A bright blue orb of light was glowing in an eternal abyss, full of darkness and devoid of any signs of life or light.

Anything could get in the abyss. From the outside, the abyss would've looked like a utopia, full of lush tropical trees and plants.

Once you got in the supposed utopia, you'd find yourself stuck inside that dark nightmare. Almost everything that had entered the abyss never came back.

But this tiny bright orb defied the laws of this mysterious void. There wasn't supposed to be a light inside that edgy looking abyss. The abyss was inflamed by the sudden appearance of this orb and thirsted for the suffering of this orb as it could feel that this orb wasn't just merely a sphere of light.

It was a soul. Souls appear after a being's life either expired or suddenly went deceased.

The abyss didn't know where all the souls went but it was aware that a lot of souls would arrive at either Heaven or Hell, a dimension beings called "Humans" created through their beliefs.

Sometimes, a lost soul would suddenly arrive at the eternal abyss. The abyss couldn't do anything to those souls immediately so it would just slowly chip away the soul and absorb it as a part of the void.

The eternal abyss hated this annoying balls of light and life as it had a conflict related to souls eons ago.

It attempted to do the same with the blue soul, waiting patiently with all it's willpower to hope that the soul would just become victim like those lost souls before.

Time passed by and the soul seemed to become weaker as the abyss had expected, it was going all according to plan just like always.

The abyss would've sit back and relax knowing that the annoying bright sphere would soon disappear like all the other ones before them.

Even more time passed by but it seemed that the soul was still up and running. The abyss wasn't furious about this discovery, it was rather curious about it.

Usually by this time, the soul would've been significantly weaker allowing for the abyss to absorb it as one but that obviously didn't happen.

The soul still had much of its strength and power so in response to this event, the eternal abyss intensified the chipping of the soul. It was becoming rather irritating than eccentric.

Much more time had passed and somehow the soul was still there, flying around like a fly.

The abyss was beginning to become infuriated by these turns of event. It has had enough.

The abyss quickly forced its way to absorb this vermin of a soul, using all of it's might to ensure it would disappear forever as a part of the void.

But the soul refused, it wasn't going to let the abyss kill it. The soul started to resonate and it's blue light started to shine brighter and brighter to the point that it almost outshined the abyss.

The abyss was certain after witnessing that bizarre event unfolding in front it's eyes if it even had one,

This little one was special.

The abyss was brainstorming for ideas on how to eradicate this pest and then, it had a breakthrough.

Instead of destroying it, why not just drive it away?

Long story short,

The abyss for the first time since eons, used the void to push away the soul from the darkness.

The soul had done the impossible, escaping the land of no return.

This soul here had a fairly ordinary experience back when they were still a living being.

It wasn't too special. Their name was Bob. (💀) They were a male homo sapien or what the species called themselves humans.

He had an ordinary childhood like anyone else. He would play with the other kids on basically everywhere they wanted to.

The playground, the grass fields, the schools and one time apparently, a motel where people would do certain things to eachother and emit a strange noise.

He made friends, destroyed some toys, burned a werid book showing different kinds of techniques to do with someone for shits and giggles.

He did fairly average at school. He didn't care about his results in his exams as it was just ordinary. A lot of C's and a few B's. He had a blast at school, living some kind of slice of life with his friends.

He also enjoyed webcomics and novels. In his spare time, he would often read those when his friends were busy doing something else. Every genre, he would read.

He didn't care what kind of genre the comic or book had, he only cared about if it was entertaining or not.

He also liked history a bit. Watching videos of whatever he liked. Played games such as Hoi4 or Civilization.

He graduated from school, got a job and all was done. He had nothing to complain about. Sure his life does have some errors but that's it, he wasn't perfect and he knew about it.

He didn't have a lot of money but he wasn't poor either.

He couldn't eat luxurious foods or buy things he wanted for the sake of saving money but overall, he was happy

Then he discovered it, the marvels of firearms.

Those sexy little steel rods that could blast right through you. It could turn you into a disgusting mash of meat and shit which sounds indeed very sad.

Up until that discovery, he was just a normal man minding his own business. He never had an obsession about something before, if he liked it, he liked it.

Now, he was absolutely obsessed with guns and those badass stuff. He would often overexaggerate the facts about guns like how a Glock 18 could somehow fire rounds with a muzzle velocity faster than an 18" caliber Mark I naval gun.

He bought any firearms that he could afford, he wasn't rich but he had enough money to buy something anyways.

Firing range? He made it himself in the woods with some effort, some dart boards, a random lizard and frog in the middle of the woods.

His death was very bizarre.

Apparently, he walked down the road, got bumped by car, accidentally tripped on a tortoise at the side of the road and coincidentally ate rat poison from a cheese trap.

He was very drunk at the time and the authorities reported that he allegedly ate the cheese with the poison due to incredibly delicious taste of the cheese.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case as it was actually quite the opposite.

It wasn't the cheese that was tasty, it was the rat poison.

It had an unusual but overall sweet flavour which tasted like a werid two day old candy thus he licked all of the rat poison on the cheese and ate the cheese afterwards.

He died from the flavourful rat poison a week later.
