Chapter 183 - Isaac And Isaac.
'What is happening?' Isaac thought with confusion as he had kept his eyes closed for nearly two minutes.
The bright light that usually happens during teleportation was still there, even though it usually disappears after a few seconds.
'Is it a bug?' He thought inwardly and hoped that his worries were unfounded.
He tried to slowly open his eyes but had to instantly close them. It was like he was gazing at the sun.
He couldn't even feel his body; it was like he was floating in space and had lost control of his body's functions.
*Beep*
*Ding*
'Again...' Isaac sighed and had heard both dinging and beeping noises for the past few minutes.
To him, it felt like it had been only a couple of minutes, but he didn't have any idea how long he had been in his current situation.
When his thoughts started wandering away, and thoughts of logging off appeared, he felt a difference.
His body didn't feel like it was floating anymore. Instead he felt wind brushing through his body, which also made his white hair flutter.
He tried to smell the air, but it was difficult at first, but he managed to take one sniff, and he felt very weird.
It wasn't similar with White Online's air; instead very identical to a real-life one.
'What is happening!' He screamed inwardly and wanted the bright light to disappear!
After having eyes closed for so long and only bright light to accompany him, he started having a piercing headache, with his dark vision becoming a mix of red and yellow.
It was one of the worst experiences he has ever faced, but soon his prayers were answered, and he felt the wind slowing down, but he also felt his body slowing down.
Soon, the intensity of the bright light started dimming down until it was gone, and he felt his feet landing on the floor.
''Finally, I will have to report this bug.'' He said with annoyance and slowly opened his eyes.
At first, he had difficulties seeing and still saw a mix of red and yellow on his vision, but after rubbing his eyes and getting used to seeing again, he finally could see properly.
The first thing he saw was a wooden desk and a window behind it. The window showed a moon in the sky and a dark sky.
The curtains were wide open, but what shocked him was exactly the wooden desk and the curtains.
They looked exactly the same as his real-life ones!
He also saw his locked cabinet and his bookshelf.
''Did I log out?'' Isaac felt very strange and thought that as the possibility, but still had no idea why he was standing and not lying on the bed.
He scratched his silky white hair and turned around to see his bed, but soon his body froze.
In the bed, there was a young man lying with some kind of headgear surrounding his head. His white hair was very noticeable, and the lower half of his face was visible, which showed his lips and chin.
''W-What?'' Isaac staggered backwards and thought that he was dreaming, but even after pinching his hands, nothing changed.
He looked at his own outfit and was still wearing the Camouflage outfit.
Looking at his own hands, he saw them trembling and almost felt his heart exploding.
He quickly grabbed his chest and took deep breaths, 'There must be an explanation for all of this.'
Inhaling and exhaling, he managed to calm down his heartbeat, but not fully.
He slowly walked next to the bed and touched the young man's finger, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Once he touched the finger, he also had a weird sensation on his own finger.
''Gulp...'' He gulped down his saliva and decided to do one more experiment.
He grabbed the young man's white hair and started pulling it, but also, at the same time, he felt a sensation of someone pulling his own hair!
That made everything clear, the young man who was lying on the bed was him!
''H-How?'' Isaac fell down on his butt, which caused a somewhat loud sound, but he didn't have time to care as he was freaking out!
'This can't be happening...' He covered his face and slapped his cheeks to get his composure back.
''Interface.'' He wanted to make sure that he was still inside the game!
Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him that showed his stats.
He sighed in relief and saw a log-out button. He wanted to press it, but he didn't want risk of his avatar suddenly disappearing from the real world.
He has to know if this was another creation of Arthur, like a moon.
Isaac turned his head and saw the door, which leads out of his room, and he wanted to know can his parents see him.
But before leaving, he pressed a couple of buttons in front of him, which sucked his outfit inside his Inventory.
He stood up from the floor and quickly put on a t-shirt and sweatpants, which fit his body perfectly.
Next, he went to the mirror and looked at him; everything looked perfect, except his height, which was currently not as much as his real-life one.
He doesn't expect anyone to notice, but just in case, he took a couple of socks from the wardrobe and stuffed them inside his shoes, which he sometimes uses inside the mansion.
These shoes were made by his mother and were specially made for him; it allows him to move inside the house without the worry of dirtying the floor.
After stuffing a couple of socks inside, he put his feet inside the shoes and looked at the mirror. He looked slightly taller, but only slightly, but it was enough to cover the difference.
Isaac took a deep breath and nodded, ''Let's do this!'' He turned around and put his hand on the doorknob, which opened the door.
Slowly, he opened his door and saw the corridor of his family's mansion. Everything looked perfect, even the small dent on the wall, which was caused by his younger self.
''Is this really...'' Isaac took a loud gulp and was sure that Arthur couldn't recreate everything with such accuracy, but he still had to make sure!
He left the room, leaving his real-life self lying on the bed.
