《Player Glitch *paused*》Chapter 15 - The shooting range
Advertisement
Sorry about the wait. I don't write or upload Player Glitch on the weekend and I had to write a script for some personal stuff that took a while.
Anyway, enjoy! ^_^
"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting this.", Ludius said honestly.
"Well you can't expect me to run a magic rifle manufacturers and not have a shooting range now can you?",
"Well no I can't.",
"Well then. We need to find out what type of magical rifle you are best at using, I myself lean towards the more portable lightweight ones but everyone's got their own preferences.",
'What type of gun- er magic rifle fits me? Probably something to be used as a last resort like a hidden pistol or a long range rifle I suppose.', Ludius decided in his mind.
Rowan walked over to one side of the range where a table was covered in all sorts of magic rifles. Rowan picked up a small handheld one. One you might see in a wild west movie.
"I don't suppose you've used a magic rifle before. Not with your unholy skill with the blade. I doubt you'd had any time to learn sharps hooting as well.", Rowan chuckled to himself as he passed the magic rifle over to Ludius.
"Alright, so to use it just point the barell away from you at your target and press the trigger, it's quite hard to mess up in all honesty. Oh by the way, it doesn't use ammunition or anything like that, only mana. The power of the shot can be adjusted by the amount of infused mana.",
"Seems convenient!", Ludius exclaimed as he took the magic rifle over to one of the booths in the shooting range and looked down the range. At the end seemed to be something resembling an archery target but made of some sort of metal.

"Okay, you see those rings on the target all the way back there... Aim for the middle of the center ring. We'll do this a few times with various guns to find out what your best with before we talk about a custom made one. Alright, fire in your own time.",
Ludius took the gun lightly in his hand and pointed it towards the target.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Happy with his shots, Ludius placed the gun down and looked towards Rowan.
"Okay then Ludius, let's see how you did.", Rowan walked over to a winch at the side of the blithe and began to turn the handle which in turn seemed to bring the target at the end of the range forward.
"Oh. My. God!", Rowan mumbled whilst barely managing to stay standing.
In the target was a single hole. Right in the center of the inner ring. Looking over at the back wall you would find that all the shots had fired through the exact same hole as there were clearly five scorch marks on the wall behind where the target used to be.
---
1 hour later, in Rowan's office.
Rowan was sat in a leather chair and was pouring himself a strong scotch.
"I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.", Rowan kept quietly muttering to himself in the corner.
"How can you just be a genius with every type of magic rifle.",
"Don't ask me.", Replied Ludius.
Rowan suddenly drank the scotch and quickly poured himself another. A long silence followed only to be interrupted by a question from Ludius.
"So~ about a custom magic rifle. When will I get one?", Ludius inquired.
Rowan, surprised by the sudden question, was quickly brought out of his thoughts. "Oh, erm. Come back in a week or so. This may be trickier than I originally intended.",

"Right... What about the information I wanted?",
"Good things come to those that wait. Come back in a week. I have some thinking to do.",
Annoyed, Ludius left the tipsy man to his own devices and decided it was probably for the best to just find an inn and log out for a while.
So that's what he did.
Ludius found a low class inn near Rowan's top of the range manufacturing company called 'Ye Olde Rippoff Inn'.
Ludius thought there was something suspicious about it but didn't mind as he saw how cheap the rooms were. At only 50 gold per night, Ludius quickly rented the best room for a week and went to log off.

The demon whispers inside Jack’s mind. “They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all.” It’s funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn’t make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn’t he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That’s why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he’s in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won’t take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn’t his first life and if he doesn’t free her from her prison, it won’t be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn’t understand. It’s a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon’s voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn’t remember…yet.

This Book
The author, Edward Faust is aware that “This Book” does not really describe what this book is about. We shall pretend that it is a meta artistic choice but the reality is that Mr. Faust is bad at coming up with titles, and since starting This Book back in 2015 as a NaNoWriMo project he could never come up with a good one. This Book’s genre is YA Supernatural, but that’s only as helpful as any genre tag (IE: not very) so I shall describe it further. This Book is primarily about reincarnation, but it also features mythical creatures such as angels (known here as Seraphs), demons, Byzantines, as well as homeschoolers. Two mythical homeschoolers in fact make up the main characters of this work, a pair of siblings named Grayson and Kish. They live in metro Atlanta in the year 2019 AD with their Aunt. On one particular day they are plunged into a rabbit hole of spiritual and metaphysical politics by the arrival of a mysterious one-eyed Green haired woman and strange humanoid creatures into their lives. That is where the story begins. Yes. This book can also be found at https://thisbook.home.blog/
