Dream Is An Alternate Universe
Inter Reality War

“You didn't trap me in the game ‘ did you? You're lucky I haven't told anyone about this bug,” a man folds his hands and accuses the girl in front of him with anger.

“That question I should have asked you. Huh, everyone will think you're crazy if you tell me about it. Locked in another reality, the wounds are real, and almost killed for playing a prototype AR battle royale game made to fulfill a corporate assignment and advanced to the national race. Sure, Kiaro. My cousin said it was fine, no bugs. Brother Yudhaku cannot lie.”

“You still think I cheated you? Why is it so hard for you to trust me? Do I look like Loki in your eyes?” kiaro said in a low tone.

“If you were Loki I'd rather his reality be like that. I just have to make sure that yesterday wasn't your wits and that the NPCs outside of my program weren't for your reshuffle.” Reply Tia while tapping the table.

“Alright, I'll prove that I didn't lie to you. I wish the bug was gone. So, play for at least 1 hour if you want to get stuck with me.” As soon as the bell went home, Tia and Kiaro immediately prepared to play a game made by Tia.

“Login to History Battleground.” Say them simultaneously shortly after wearing smartglasses.

“Scanning retina finished.” Posts appear on their respective screens.

“Then what? I actually wanted to protest why you got the bow and I just got the arrow. How can this happen?” Kiaro had protested even before the actual game was started because of the prizes he had earned in the previous game.

“Because of the alliance, this is our common weapon. You wanna wear it? This is better than the slingshot,” Tia persuaded Kiaro to use the arrows they got together.

“I will try it, hopefully it is that easy,” the man chose a set of arrows as his weapon while Tia chose the sword. A red inscription flashed on their screen, indicating an impending danger.

Enemies are visible, be careful.

A dozen colonizing warriors from the era of colonialism appeared before them.

“I'm starting to regret my decision to play with you. Two dozen opponents, is that possible?” red Kiaro.

“Once again the enemy is out of programming, but maybe we can win against this one. Fire your bow, find a safe haven. I'll attack closely,” Tia set strategy.

“You want to kill yourself? They're carrying guns and pistols! Don't you have one of those rifles?” Kiaro seemed to be against that strategy.

“I don't have one yet because it's still level 5. I can't buy in the store either because this level is so low. The only way is to snatch from them.”

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

Virtual warfare begins to take place in the school environment. The soldiers fired their weapons at Tia, but all of them missed.

“They are like a bunch of stromtroopers to me,” Tia said as she stabbed and slashed some soldiers.

“And you're the jedi. Happy?” reply Kiaro in a somewhat irritated tone while shooting out a few arrows.

“Good shot!” tia exclaimed as she saw the 3 arrows landing right in the heart of the invaders.

“Well, I didn't expect this weapon would suit me,” Kiaro laughed happily.

“Good, now that all the troops have been defeated,” said Tia with the sword still unsheathed in hand after slashing the last soldier. The blood of the NPCs that soiled the girl's hand felt real as she held on. For a moment he thought that the other dimension was true, but soon he returned to his original mind. This is all mixed reality, it should be this real. Kiaro was just making things up. He was just jealous because the sophisticated games in his smartglass were selected to be submitted in the entrepreneurship race. After all, Yudha, her older cousin and mentor couldn't possibly lie ‘ right? The game is fine, nothing is wrong.

“Tia, let's take their guns!” Kiaro suddenly exclaimed near Tia, “Tia...” He quenched his spirit when he saw the blood seeping on the left arm of his friend's uniform.

“You saw my injured arm ‘kan? It's okay, it's just a virtual wound. Not real,” said the girl was calm.

“Sick?”

“Actually a little sore, just scratched a bullet. If the wound is real it is not a big problem.”

“If you die?”

“I have three lives here. Calm down, after all this is a virtual world,” Tia still faced Kiaro calmly. He is still adamant that Kiaro's statement about other dimensions in his game is not real. Maybe the pain was the result of a trick on her brain, Tia thought.

“But if you feel that pain is not virtual anymore, Tia! I had to log out to prove it,” Kiaro blinked twice, no changes to his smartglass screen, “Argh! Log out! Battleground History, log out!” Only silence welcomed the call.

“Can't, game's not over. The proof is that we have not got the reward,” said Tia slowly.

“I'll take you to UKS,” Kiaro covers the wound on his friend's arm with his uniform tie and drags him to UKS.

“Beware of enemies. We're still in the game,” the girl warned her friend.

“Give me your sword,” Kiaro asks.

“Alright, this,” another arm of Tia held out a sword at Kiaro, instead, Kiaro gave the girl a short barrel gun, “May the luck be with us, Kiaro.”

“You have quoted many movies today.”

“I like it.” Again a red letter appeared on their screen.

Enemies are visible, be careful.

“This is not only not historically accurate, this is also crazy! Now get your weapons ready and run. Follow my steps without saying much,” this time Kiaro who made plans, “We will kill them all and get to the UKS safely.” They ran between bullets and attacked. Tia fired her loot FN Model 1922 pistol at some of the invaders who were far away from them while Kiaro continued to slash his sword at all the soldiers around him while continuing to hold onto the wounds suffered by Tia. They were indeed a proper duet, all NPCs had already been defeated when their feet stepped on the UKS floor.

You're in the health room. Ask Hera for help to heal or increase your energy.

“My name, Hera. What can I help you with, Mister and Miss?” a female doctor with an old style approached them.

“Cure my injured friend,” Kiaro said as he led Tia up to the mattress in UKS.

“I'll do it,” the woman did the treatment on Tia's wound. The man could only watch his friend who occasionally grimaced in pain. At least he finally realized that another dimension was in this game, he thought to drive away his mother's excessive taste in the girl.

“It's done, this wound will heal in a few hours. If there is a problem with your wound, come back here,” message Hera.

“Thank you, Hera,” Tia smiled at her man-made character.

“Sama-sama,” answered the virtual character with a smile. Kiaro was stunned for a moment at Hera, but again realized that the woman should not live in the same dimension as him.

“Beauty ‘kan, the Hera? I'm proud to have designed it,” Tia chuckles and hits Kiaro's arm slowly, “and thank you for bringing me here, Kiaro.”

“Sama-sama, Tia and we should finish this one session quickly. I want to go home and sleep,” a glimpse of Kiaro smiling, but immediately horizontal when discussing this game.

“I am still astonished by some things, this blood and wounds, everything feels real,” the girl sighed and shook her head.

“I was also astonished. But once this session is over, everything will return to normal. Ought.” When we came out, a bunch of hit men from all over the world were ready to attack us.

Enemies are visible, be careful.

“Since the beginning of the log in earlier, there was nothing wrong with the arrangement of the opponent,” said Tia while pointing a gun, “Now we have to run to the parking lot near the field. Finish them all like that.”

“Ready! I will take care of you, Commander Tia,” Kiaro replied while doing the salute, like a soldier to his commander on the battlefield.

“Alright, now...attack!” exclaim that girl. His gun is always busy firing bullets and occasionally Tia hides to fill his ammo. Kiaro was busy shaking the sword at the mercenaries and easily broke the arrows that were pointing at him.

“Tia! Try not to get hurt again!” the man exclaimed when he saw an arrow almost pierced his partner's body. Lucky Tia can dodge, “I have no intention of dying today.” The duo continued to move towards the parking lot near the field. They attacked and dodged trying not to get hurt a single inch. Apparently it was not an easy thing, some assassins who used sharp weapons dared to attack Kiaro lambsung. While Tia is still trying to paralyze the assassins from Joseon who use arrows.

“Tia help me!” Kiaro shouted, he started to get overwhelmed as some assassins managed to injure him.

“Sebent- Ah!” an arrow stuck to Tia's stomach.

“Tia! You...”

“Good... still good,” said Tia while shooting back at the killer and then shooting at the NPCs covering Kiaro. He knew very well how badly the arrows stuck in the player's body affected their life bar, but he did not know that being stabbed by arrows would feel this painful.

“Sial, Tia. Don't die just yet, I don't want to repeat this game!” kiaro shouted that began to sound faint in the ears of the girl. The blood from the wound dripped forming a trail on the ground. Tia was still shooting at the NPC and Kiaro was fighting him from within the liaison . Their opponents were drastically reduced. One more opponent was successfully slashed by Kiaro before Tia dazed beside him right at their final destination. Suddenly all the enemies disappeared, as well as the injuries on the bodies of the two of them. Tia and Kiaro became healthy again.

‘Dutch Soldiers, Japanese Soldiers, The Pay’ Killers have been defeated.

EverLastingFighter249 got 90 bags of gold, 5 stars + 3 stars of cooperation and FN pistol Model 1922.

It took 16 stars to rise to level 7.

GreyWolf15 got 90 bags of gold, 5 stars + 3 stars cooperation, and metal sword.

Go up to level 2. It took 1 star to rise to level 3.

“Honey once, one more star I will level up,” Kiaro said as he caught his breath.

“If we play any longer I'll die for real like that. The sense of being pierced by the arrow was too real to say virtual,” Tia's turn to say.

“Yes, the wounds produced from their swords also felt sore. I was more and more convinced by my theory of another dimension, ” the man sighed and looked at the darkened sky and saw his watch, “I can no longer distinguish which time of the virtual world and the original.”

“We'd better get away from this game as soon as they start a new session,” Tia blinked her eyes twice as well as Kiaro. However, nothing happened, the game did not respond to their request.

“What happened?” they exchanged glances before returning to try to log out.

“Log out of Battleground History!” tia exclaimed giving voice commands to the game, he also tried several times using hand gestures, all of which failed. Kiaro took off his smartglasses by force, as did Tia. That was their last option to log out.

Kiaro fell sitting on the grass of the school field, “Everything still looks the same. Did we play until night?”

Tia shook her head weakly, “This problem is really more than just lag. We are locked in this game, you as Kiaro, no longer GreyWolf15, an ordinary folk now.” Kiaro's clothes changed, from the previous SMA uniform to striated complete with his array and blangkon.

“And you, no longer EverLastingFighter294, now you are Commander Tia, the leader of the popular uprising movement against the invaders, at least that is written in the character description box next to you,” Kiaro replied while watching Tia's clothes turn into brownish green scout clothes.

Silence occurred between them before the girl suddenly shouted, “Box description! I'm really late to realize it! Now we are Kiaro NPCs! The box was designed to explain about NPCs. God fucking. This must be the work of Brother Yudha.” Tia also sat down next to Kiaro and cried under the thick virtual sky in the History Battleground dimension. He knew there was no way out now.

“Yudha, you really don't get any news from Tia?”

I shook my head and replied, “No, Te. His phone and smartglasses are off.” After the aunt nodded, I went back into the room and finished my work.

“Actually the perfect game, but, what a pity, you made the biggest mistake, my sister,” the mutter came out of my mouth with a satisfied smile. He was indeed a clever beginner as well as a fool. He should not have made the device of someone outside his guard into his game server. Ah, if only he was that smart to realize the danger of trusting others.

“Set as NPC and done,” murmured once more, this time accompanied by a small laugh that showed satisfaction. I am the rightful owner of this game. Neither Tia nor her friend could stand in the way anymore. My future is mine! Thank you very much for the idea, my NPC cousin sister.
