2024-10-29 19:42:56The old man led me further inside his shop. He went past me and flipped the sign to temporarily close his store. Afterward, the man returned inside and urged me to follow his lead.
I did as the bloke had told me and entered further inside the ragged store. And when I stepped into the next room, everything became different. The rusty metals and weapons were no more. The place wasn’t clustered, and my eyes saw no dust hanging from the creeks and the ceiling. My nose caught the fragrance of thousands of roses and spring, compared to the rotting stench of dead rats from the previous room.
Everything was different. Even the walls had been covered with fresh paint, and the weapons on stock were recently made. The anvil and the hammers were properly placed and organised on the desk. This man also had a fire pit ready to molten down the metals and forge the

My Sniper System Chapter 54 - Work in Progress
I swiped my hand and activated my hologram related to my system. My inventory popped up and revealed the numerous skins and materials my system had collected. And with one click of my finger, I summoned the item and placed it on an empty table. It was a goblin’s skin, one Vulcan had mentioned and needed earlier. I didn’t place everything on the side, since they wouldn’t fit. But I just wanted to show Vulcan what I was capable of and I was willing to help him. “This is…” Vulcan mumbled, as he picked one sword he had made from the table to his hand. He stared at it for a couple of seconds before throwing it away on the side. Vulcan’s eyes blazed in anger, as his cheeks turned red in hatred and despair. Instead of tears, sweat from his hard work dripped from the temple of his eyes. The eyebags resting on his sockets were evidence that he hadn’t had any dec
My Sniper System Chapter 55 - Still Workking in Progress
For the past few minutes, the workload was minimal. I barely did anything besides transporting the tools Vulcan needed and placing the sword and other items the old man made inside their containers. It was a breeze. ‘If this continues, we will craft those swords in no time! And within a week, I can finally level up and upgrade my sniper!’ I thought, while continuing to heed Vulcan’s instructions.The clock stopped moving, so I couldn’t count the time. And the outside world from this house didn’t show the sun if it had set or the moon was already up. The lighting outside the smithy was just enough to flash the room and made everything visible. So the only thing that helped us catch the time was the timewatch built in my system and the metronome-like watch that the old man had on his desk.Hours had finally passed in a blink of
My Sniper System Chapter 56 - Vulcan's and Aoi's Motive (bonus content)
Vulcan Petrov’s perspective_____________________________I met this kid a while ago. His name was Aoi. This boy was Japanese, as he introduced himself to me. My instincts told me that he was bad news, mainly after seeing the news labelling him as a murderer of people outside and inside the portals. However, everything had changed when the boy trusted me and showed his identity. If he was truly a killer - a menace in society - I would’ve died before I had the chance to plead for my life.The debt I accumulated drowned me towards the abyss. I didn’t know what to do after I made an enemy out of the Crimson Guild. But if someone would ask me if I regretted what I did, the answer was a simple “No”.This battle wasn’t just for me. It

Aoi’s Perspective____________________“I’m kinda also using you as a means to my end. But it doesn’t mean that I don’t care about you. You have a family too, don’t you? You’re still a person. And from where I’ve come from, my sister would always tell me to help other people in need. When I do, those people that have helped would help me in return. So don’t worry about a single thing, Vulcan. I’ve got you covered,” I continued.When I said those words, Vulcan and I stopped for a second while averting our gaze. I might have already crossed the line, but it was far too late for me to take back what I had said. I recalled every word I spoke in our conversation. Maybe I was getting ahead of myself and told Vulcan he was a means to my end, not someone I tr
My Sniper System Chapter 58 - The Fateful Meeting
When Vulcan finished his work, the time outside this portal told us that it was already midnight. As soon as the old man struck the last metal with his hammer, he sat on the chair, legs apart, and wiped off his rivers of sweat from his face. And then he uttered.“I can’t believe it… Akai gave me half a year to do it. I couldn’t finish it at that time and knew it was impossible. But now, look at these,” Vulcan monologised, as he gazed at those one thousand pieces of equipment and tools he made on the table. “One thousand of them were all done within five days. If you told my past self that, he wouldn’t believe this. But here I am in front of my debt. With the help of you, kid. Of course.”As soon as Vulcan finished his sentences, he turned around and faced me. Even though I presently existed inside the smith, I wa
My Sniper System Chapter 59 - Akai Sato
The day finally came. I didn’t sleep as much as I wanted to. But Vulcan told me we would meet Akai later this afternoon, so I mentally prepared myself and unequipped every related item and outfit from my sniper class system. I didn’t have my weapon with me, so that was a big problem. But as long as I could escape using the smoke bombs, maybe we could return for another round to fight Akai and his team. And that wouldn’t be a beautiful sight.Luckily, Vulcan had already told Akai that he would deliver the items to him - alone. We didn’t want other guild members to be involved with our business. Akai shouldn’t want that either. When Akai heard that we would personally transport the requested items to his guild, Vulcan immediately turned his phone off before Akai could say anything. It must have been rude for Akai’s side, but it was what it was. Vulcan made the weapons and
My Sniper System Chapter 60 - The Deal
“Ah, yes. I almost forgot about that,” Akai said, and motioned his hand that he would follow Vulcan’s lead. "The trucks you ordered under my name. Yeah, yeah. I get it. Don't worry. I've already taken care of all of them. As long as you give me what I want, that is."Vulcan took the opportunity and led all of us towards the trucks. And when the driver and the staff from the moving van helped us open the truck's door, dozens of swords, shields, and platemail greeted our eyes."I forged each and every one of them, just like you've ordered. You can check it out if you want to.""I will."As Vulcan gave the go signal, Kei and Akai went inside the truck and checked the organised boxes. When Akai ripped the container open, he immediately witnessed countless b

How many days had it been since the time I had been luring and fighting these beasts? Two months? No. Two months were short in my calendar. If I had to guess it right, I was up here for eight months fighting and evading these monsters. I fed myself with arcane from my surroundings and made it my nutrition. Although magic particles were different from real nourishments, it was enough to keep me functional. And my body was still in top shape. I also forced myself to sleep only for an hour and wake up dodging those projectiles for the umpteenth time. There was nothing inside my mind but evading these ambushes, hoping I could, at least, strike back with my rifle. But the time never arrived. The lizards weren’t the only creatures present in my vicinity. There were more of them. If I had to name a few, t

There was nothing wrong about it. So I told Hina about our current situation and encouraged her to attend the school we were once going to. But I refused the scholarship and dropped out of university. College life should be something that everyone desires to have, especially us students. But for me, I wanted to see Hina’s parents live for another day. Hence, the approval of being an adventurer in a guild.But I didn’t apply for being a regular adventurer. Regular adventurers were tasked to defeat a certain number of portals in return they will be given cheques and salaries from it. The more portals defeated, the larger amount of cash will be rewarded.

Volume 3 - Epilogue Aoi Two’s Perspective (not the original Aoi, but the other one who lived in a different yet similar life.) __________________________________ As far as I remembered, my parents died when I was little. When I was six years old. I didn’t need money, a lavish life, or things that I could call mine. There was only one thing I wanted, and that was my parents. I wanted them to live. But with one sudden moment, my wish turned around and burned me alive. My parents were killed by monsters, not humans. The fiend was around a hundred feet tall, and the village we were living in took the invasion. They were reptiles. These monsters had the shape of a dragon, which was technically a lizard with wings. According to the internet, unidentified beasts kept appearing from nowhere, and there were others who fought against them. Those individuals were not the police officers. I believed they were called guilds. And as I glanced around me, the news and other people claimed that t

Thank you.)_____________________“That’s why I need to become stronger. And you’re not strong enough! Even though we’re the only ones who have this system, you didn’t try to break your own wall and learn more about it! There could’ve been portals that you could eliminate to gain more levels, and yet you chose to idle around and did nothing about it!” What did he mean when this motherfucker told me I wasn’t strong enough?! I trained with Vulcan, which Akai killed. Did he not think of that?!”“Your face is telling me that you met with Vulcan… That you trained with him. But did you learn anything from those sessions besides aiming your gun properly? Because it’s the only thing you have if you plan on comparing yourself to me!” Aoi two, or should I say, this doppelganger adde

Hina’s Perspective_____________________“It’s okay… Don’t cry. There, there…. It’s going to be okay… It’s going to be alright….”And then, I said the words. “I forgive you… I forgive you, Aoi… You don’t have to cry anymore… It’s going to be okay…”I said the words Aoi wanted to hear. Even though he was Obsidian, the face of my brother carved itself on the man beside me. It was as if Aoi two was a dog barking and biting people left and right only to realise he needed someone’s help… He needed my help. And now he had faced his fear and listened to the words Aoi two wanted to hear, his ears calmed down. His ears discerned what was important.‘But what now? What are we going to do now?’ I thought, and looked at the downcasted face of Aoi two. As if knowing the question inside my head, Aoi two returned my gaze and uttered, “I know… you are confused. But we don’t have much time now. As soon as I fought Aoi in this world, the entities behind these portals were already high on alert. And I

Chapter 234 - Regret
Hina’s Perspective _____________________ “Come with me.” With one phrase, the masked man offered his hand to me. He used his other hand to lift Aoi’s body and cast a spell that changed our surroundings. “I’ll show you something.” Obsidian showed no signs of hostility. And the voice behind the masked man soothed my ears as if it was some sort of music with perfect beat and lyrics. I gazed at the man’s hand, wondering if I should take it. I had seen something like this before. But something was off. And at the same time, there was a peculiar feeling of calm and genuineness. He almost reminded me of my brother. In spite of these feelings twirling inside my mind, I shook my head and answered, “I don’t… want to... I won’t leave…. My brother! You… Want… to kill him… I’ll…. Stay by…. His side…. Until you… can kill me…” There was a chance that the masked man wanted to pull me apart from Aoi. And I never wanted that to happen. The moment the masked man heard my words for the umpteenth ti

Chapter 233 - I Don't Want Him to Die...
Hina’s Perspective_____________________All my life, Aoi did nothing but help me with my problems, regardless if it involved him or me. As long as he noticed, which he always did, my brother would rush towards me and help. Aoi really forced himself so hard until he could see me smile. And even though I pushed him countless times, he continued crawling his way back in my arms. I could still remember those days when we were together, especially when these portals hadn’t shown up. Life was simple back then. If only Aoi’s parents didn’t die, maybe he could’ve lived the life he deserved. But his life was taken away by a murderer and the portal. And now, we were given the chance to confront the man who stole his life away. But even so, we couldn’t defeat him. I… couldn’t do a thing. Aoi did everything he could to stop the madman from hurting everyone, despite knowing none of the strangers, but he failed. And the only thing I could do was to watch him suffer.Maybe if I trained hard enoug

Chapter 232 - I lost
As I glanced on my side, Hina still wanted to fight. She stood up and used the rock beside him, but her legs kept shaking as if an earthquake struck us. But the ground remained still. There was no earthquake. And when I appraised her status, my system described her with a fatigue ailment in addition to her drained mana right beside his health bar.[Iron Maiden has been deactivated. Obsidian is too powerful to be compressed!]Those were the words that marked our doom. The moment Obsidian broke free from the [Iron Maiden] all hope was lost. I had no idea how to win now, especially when my sister was on the ground. She couldn’t me right now. But Hina had already assisted me until her body fell on the ground. Although she desperately forced herself to move and stand with the help of a rock, Hina couldn’t cast any more magic and would remain sluggish until she could recover her mana. Obsidian stood on the other side of the map, unscathed and unbothered from the spell. The [Iron Maiden] wa

Chapter 231 - Iron Maiden
Time wasn’t on our side. Obsidian tried hitting us with his sniper, but Hina continued lifting me up and creating walls in front of me. It was as if she was reading my movements. When the masked man pulled the trigger and launched a set of bullets in my direction, I went to the side despite having no platform for me to step on. But I trusted my sister. By the time I jumped above ground, I trusted my instincts and rolled on the side. Like I had said, there was no ground to catch me when I fell. But as soon as I gyrated my body, a floor made of soil immediately materialised and cushioned my feet. The next thing I knew, I tumbled to the side and evaded almost every bullet coming in my way. The shells that I couldn’t dodge still didn’t hit me. The moment those leads from the masked man could take me out, Hina summoned a wall in front of me and protected my face.I didn’t have the time to thank my sister and carried onwards with the fight. Time was also our enemy. So when I found an open
