Death Guns In Another World



"Big brother, take care of Big sister Luna, okay?''

Gracier tender voice resounded in everyone's ears. They all laughed and cheered in unison.

"Put on the rings~ Put on the rings~ Put on the rings~"

Everybody made the church a rowdy place. The mood couldn't get any higher than this. Luna also blushed furiously when others egged her on.

Blushing was one thing, Luna's eyes were set on Alex's face. She didn't shift her eyes away, she was waiting with hopeful eyes. Moreover, with her beautiful looks and that pure white dress, she was just like a Saintess.

Alex reckoned there is no human alive who could resist putting a ring on someone so outstanding as her.

Including himself who already lived with Luna and know her for quite some time.

He looked at the rings glistening under the golden dew of sunset. Alex grabbed the ring after coming out of his stupor.

These are the rings he bought before their first romantic date. The same rings he used to propose to Luna.

So, it was finally time to put on the ring in front of loved ones and dear friends, huh?

Alex was gripped by excitement. He lifted Luna's pristine hand and slowly but surely, he put a ring on her ring finger. Luna also watched with bliss and anticipation in her eyes.

"Alexander…"

At the same time when he was almost finished, an anxious but familiar voice rang in his mind, stopping him.

"Nn?"

Luna flinched. She didn't understand why Alex stopped suddenly. Gracier also called out to him.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

She tugged on Alex's sleeve. She urged him to hasten his action.

"Faster, put the ring on Big sister's finger, she's waiting for you"

"O-Oh…"

Like a clumsy kid, Alex nodded in a panicky manner. He continued while doubting his mind.

Was that an illusion?

"Alexander wake up… Alex"

A clearer but more anxious voice entered his mind once more.

After confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, he stopped with a drastic change in expression.

Luna's smile slowly disappeared.

Leon and the others also exchanged frowns.

"Alex, what the hell are you doing?!"

"Quickly, your wife is waiting for you to put on the ring!"

"She's waiting for you!"

"Alex"

"Big brother!"

People were shouting at him to snap out of it. Alex flashed a frustrated smile.

He lowered the hand holding the ring.

"Alex, Big brother! What is the meaning of this?!"

Now, the people around him were angry. Luna also used a forced smile that couldn't hide her sadness.

''Lex, are you not willing to marry me?"

Luna seemed to be heartbroken. Alex's heart also got shredded when he saw her look.

However, Alex wasn't flustered. He replied with a warm smile.

He caressed her soft cheek. The warmth he felt also touched his heart as his smile warmed up even more.

"Why wouldn't I want to tie the knot with you?"

He shook his head with a smile.

"More like, I am constantly thinking about my wedding with you, even more than you!"

"Then, why…"

"Why am I not putting the ring on?"

Alex interrupted her. He threw the ring away violently.

"Because I don't want to put this fake ring on your finger."

Alex's confusion slowly faded as he resolutely spoke up.

"The one I want to marry isn't the fake Luna."

"Fake me?"

Luna couldn't understand what Alex was saying.

But he didn't care. He continued caressing Luna's cheek.

"Sorry, Luna, please wait for me just a while longer."

He hugged her in front of him. He declared that without a hint of a lie.

"Soon, we shall meet again…"

"When the time comes, we can discuss how to hold our wedding, we can pour over every little detail…"

"I bet you're going to be royally pissed. No, you're probably going to ignore me in anger. Because, there are more ladies I want to tie the knot with, not just you, you already know it I'm just saying it again."

"But, Luna, I want you to believe me…"

"I love you…"

"That's why… Luna, wait for me…"

"Also…"

He stepped forward and kissed her on her forehead.

"Thank you, thanks to you I can see the face of my significant other who I hadn't seen in a while…"

Then, it happened.

Crack! Crack!

It sounded like mirrors were smashed all around him. The noise drowned out everything around him.

The space distorted until a space maelstrom spun out of control, spreading cracks everywhere.

The entire church was scattered into broken fragments.

The friends and family around him, Leon, Gracier, and Luna disappeared as if he was stuck in a kaleidoscope. The intricate dream shattered.

Only chaos remained.

The named dungeon is inside the green fog.

Alex opened his eyes as he jumped up. He was sweating like a dog under the hot sun. It was like he had just woken up from a terrible dream.

No, that wasn't a terrible dream, it was a perfect dream and that's what scared him.

"You, finally awake, I see…"

A stern voice greeted him from within Alex's body. It's the same voice that woke him up from the intricate dream.

"It's you, Nyx…"

Alex wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

"Lucky for me, you woke me up…"

"Or you might just sleep like that forever, am I right?!"

Nyx's stern scolding hit Alex's mind like a truck.

"If I hadn't detected something wrong with your psyche and woke up from my slumber then you were going to sleep in that wonderful dream of yours!"

"I wasn't expecting that…"

Alex exhaled slowly.

"I thought the viper bite would only result in a hypnotic state. To think it can even create such an elaborate dream constructed from my remorse, that's just…"

He had solid blokes in his entourage. He also bagged himself the perfect wife and an obedient little sister as a bonus.

Who wouldn't call that kind of life paradise on Earth?

If there's any remorse then it would be the fact that he didn't give Luna a proper wedding.

Had Nyx not woken him up then he would probably continue sleeping like that.

''Huh! Nyx why are you showing up only now?'' Alex suddenly questioned after a while.
