Murim Recurve Chapter 164
Advertisement
"Steelcraft…" Re'Kha muttered, feeling the name was apt for the situation. She then thought about it and said, "Then, why is the headgear named Contemporary Murim? Does the name serve any purpose?"
"Well, truth to be told," The boy let out a wry smile, "It's because of a simple reason. The VR world we access is the Murim or the World of Martial Arts in simple terms. And, since we access that world while we exist, move, and affect Earth, and as the headgear is what makes it possible, it was given such a name."
"And, that is where I came to know about it," The boy said as he opened the camera of his phone, displaying his smiling face in the front-facing camera, "The VR world we access seems to be a replica of your world. That may be another reason you have been able to inhabit me. Or…"
He frowned, deep in thought, "So, if we customise a character, are we actually entering that world and inhabiting one of their characters that look as such? No, if that was possible, something like the Turd Brothers Battleground Guild wouldn't have been established. Stuff like that is only possible for the troll gamers."
"Hmm," Re'Kha thought, pulling up an internet search for the word 'Steelcraft'. She didn't even need to type it whole. The moment she typed in the first three letters, it popped up as the first search. Upon clicking it, Re'Kha entered their home page, frowning as she noticed how everything on the homepage had become garbled characters.
And, floating above them was a bold letter, filing up a quarter of the screen…
Access Denied!
"What the…why?" Re'Kha frowned, refreshing it to see it was the same.
"Why? What happened? Is this not actually part of your world?" The boy spoke by taking control of her mouth.

"I cannot see anything," Re'Kha said.
"Hmm, give me control of my arms for a bit," He said, moving his arms immediately once he obtained control and began to pull up some images from the internet, speaking, "Also, will you be inhabiting my body for the rest of my life?"
"No, I'll be pulled out at 9:20 AM," Re'Kha replied.
"That's good then," The boy sighed in relief as he looked at the image, "See if this is visible to you?"
"Nope, I just see static on the screen," Re'Kha said.
"Then…" He zoomed into the image until focusing on a single strand of grass. "Can you see this now?"
"Yeah," Re'Kha replied after a couple of seconds, "I could see it the moment there was only a patch of grass in the picture."
"I see," The boy then zoomed in on another detail on the page, "Is this visible now?"
"Nope, this looks like static to me," Re'Kha replied, "What was it though?"
"Tikka jewellery of the Kalki race." The boy replied.
"I see," Re'Kha nodded, "So, anything related to the game is invisible to me. I can at most see some unrelated ground textures in it."
"It pretty much seems to be the case," The boy nodded, then wondering as he spoke, "By the way, how were you even able to move my bike? Are there bikes in your world?"
"No, there aren't," Re'Kha shook her head, "Once on Earth, the moment I see an object, I would receive information related to it. Though, this information is related to the character's understanding of the said object. If he/she is clueless, I too wouldn't obtain much when I look at things around me."

"Well, consider it luck that you inhabited me, haha. Not to brag, but I'm probably the smartest of the bunch in this city." The boy smirked with a smug expression.
"By the way…" He quickly accessed the app store, downloading a certain app as he spoke, "For what reason did you inhabit me? Do you do this often? And do others from your world do it too?"
"Do you recall anyone else that had inhabited your body before?" Re'Kha replied with a question of her own.
"No, I don't. This feels a bit like déjà vu, but I don't recall anyone inhabiting my body, nor have I seen my friends act weird." He replied.
"Actually, there should at least be four people being inhabited in this city. And, the people being habited changes every day." Re'Kha didn't talk about the reset or the repeat of the day, feeling that she shouldn't talk about it. She could just feel an instinct of sorts pressing down on her, preventing her from saying certain things.
This was the first time she was experiencing this. First was the lack of any memory influx when she looked at the headgear, the second was the static of images that her character could clearly perceive, and third was this instinct that was warning her to not talk about certain things.
'It seems this is a sensitive topic. I should be careful and not take too many risks. And…this static seems to be the reason no one mentioned about Steelcraft back in my Clan. If it is of such importance, surely, they would have told me. But, it seems they were unable to know about it. Right, it's only because I can actively talk with my character that I noticed this issue. Otherwise, just talking with other people wouldn't have been enough to determine the oddity.' Re'Kha pondered.
As they would usually be focused on completing their Quests, they wouldn't have paid much attention to this or would have simply glossed over it. And since everything wouldn't make sense once they exit Earth anyway, this memory gets buried in their mind and wouldn't be triggered unless they come across it with definite information.
Re'Kha then noticed her hands moving as the boy spoke, "Tell me the moment the image starts to become a blur."
He was simply operating an editing app, having masked an image with an invisible layer. He used a tool to gently make a stroke on it, revealing the part of the image under the stroke. This way, he could get an accurate grasp of the extent the information in an image should be before it gets censored in her eyes.
"Numbers matter a lot to us Engineers."

Tartarus Online
“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact. Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters. Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.” These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up. Not that these guys from Astarte Entertainment had any reason to lie or be evasive on the subject, given just how massive a corporation Astarte is. Beta Test Tartarus Online. Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil. But it was what he wanted, more than anything. Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away. [I will also be hosting this story on Scribble Hub, thank you.]

Ps. There are game elements here Disclaimers and warnings: - This story uses clichés. Like, lots of it. - I am not a native English speaker, so my grammar may not be best (It actually is pretty horrible). First 80 or so chapters are a true butchery for eyes and I admit it. Shouldn’t I correct them then? I should. Why am I not doing it? Who knows. Maybe one day I will. - This story is pretty much an experiment. I try different perspectives, different styles, I can make some random Deus-ex-machina if I would consider that I made mistake in the story and decide to change it. - This story is written for pure fun, if you expect some mind-blowing plots and conspiracy of top-level authors – then you will be most likely disappointed. - Easter eggs. Easters eggs everywhere. Every now and then you will be able to spot single events, characters and lines of text that belong in different stories/mangas/movies/books and such. Of course, they do not belong to me but to the owners, though I am not listing them – I am sorry, but if you need to be told from where line comes, we won’t be friends. - And finally. The story is written for you and WITH YOU. If you have any suggestions, events, characters, skills, class… ANYTHING… you wish to see, please – tell me. In best case scenario I would use them, in worse – I would just not implement them, so what do you lose? Guyz I owe my thanks for their contribution: KenChi?
