2023-02-04 00:01:58“W-What’s this? I can’t move my legs... my arms... I CAN’T LITERALLY MOVE AT ALL!!?”
Hi, my name is Kuro Usagi. Whoever’s reading this, I just died and got myself reincarnated in another world. That answers your question about why I am panicking and want to move. You see, I got in an accident, and the truck rammed me over and… viola! Here I am. The memories of the past are still inside my brain. Pretty pathetic, huh? It is what it is, as they always say.
Hmm…. Long story short, I am a 42-year-old man who has lived his life as a teacher in an unheard and forgotten school in the province, peacefully without having any problems besides money and grabbing myself a girlfriend. The kids I had in that classroom were around six or five, which was the same as their age. Having ten students to teach was a miracle in my hometown. That meant I was good at dealing with children. The pay was okay, but the fact I was giving out lessons with these children was the most fun part! Not until… the children grew up and forgot about me.
Well, those are living in the past. Right now, I am reincarnated as… someone or something.
I am a Japanese, and the world I have lived in is free from war or strife from different countries. Excluding robbers and criminals, of course. That is why we have the United Internationals and the security guards patrolling the area! Or the UI! The United Nations is too overrated. Anyhow, you’ve heard that right. I am single and ready to mingle… Until I died mercilessly from an automobile.
But enough about that.
As soon as I open my eyes, the first thing that greets me is total darkness. After a while, a wind pulls me over. Fortunately, now I can see where I am and how I’ve gotten here. It also seems that fate has brought me here, for some reason, and I now have a system.

…………….
“I AM A WHAT NOW?”
A window appears before me. The bizarre screen tells me I am now a gun - a revolver - with unlimited bullets. It means I don’t have to worry about losing much ammo in the middle of the fight, making me OVERPOWERED AS HELL! But.... my fire rate is shit. And I also need to reload, so I have six bullets, also referred to as six cartridges. I need to wait for a full second every time someone wishes to pull my trigger and cast a shell at a target.
Where are my legs? Oh… Well, it would be weird if a gun had legs, a mouth, and a pair of eyes, even if this is a fantasy world now, would it? So I have to live the rest of my second life without any limbs except a trigger and bullets inside me.
Ah, by the way, I have also received my first quest. And the rewards that come with it are awesome!
[Quest: Find a host!]
[Reward: Earn the Elemental Bullet!]
[Quest: Reach level 2 and kill a monster!]
[Reward: Glock 18 - Semi-Automatic]
“K-K-K-Kill a what now? So you’re telling me that there is a monster lingering in this forest, and my host and I have to kill them?”
I have no idea how to react to those words written in the floating box. But it says here that I have to defeat any monster, and I would level up because of it. That’s the reward. Fortunately, there aren’t any beasts in the area. But I am imagining an arachnid insect, a wild boar, or a dragon could pop up at any minute now and try to eat my mechanical body!
Thankfully, those creatures only live in my imagination. Nothing in the like still has welcomed me in front of my eyes.
And… I almost forgot.
Woah, woah, woah. WOAH! Woah…. This can’t be happening. WHY AM I TOO CALM ABOUT THIS? Among all the powers in the world, my system has chosen me to become a FREAKING GUN! Not to mention, I could only be used if I have a host within me?! Or someone is using me? THEREFORE, I AM A USELESS.
NOOOOOOO!!!!
‘O-Okay, Kuro. Get a hold of yourself. Things will become smoother if someone gets me,’ I think. At least, that is what my system has told me.
So I waited. I’ve never moved from my spot since that is my kit and power. I am a gun, for god’s sake. The only time I could move around, or at least be useful, was by having a host... Or if someone could pick me up. I hope that person will be a kind one. The thought of someone who’s a psychopath brought a shiver down my spine… I could end the world right here and there in the hands of the wrong enemy.
Any minute now….
I can do this all day….
Surely someone will come…
How much time has passed by? An hour or two? I lost count after staring at a tree right in front of me. Even though I am in the middle of the road, I assume nobody has picked me up or has gone in this direction, since there is a lot of gravel on the ground.
AM I THAT WORTHLESS? TELL ME! HAS MY LUCK RUN OUT, AND I AM USELESS AT ALL?!
I feel like I am about to cry. I have nothing but time… So I continue waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting, and, AH-HA! FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO HAS A CARAVAN! I BET IT’S A MERCHANT. OR A HERO!
(It wasn’t)
The moment the vehicle stops, a shiny-looking carriage filled with jewels and other accessories greets my eyes. Two knights are wearing metallic plates and armour, riding the horses, and there are also people inside the wagon. But then the vehicle stops for a second.
“EY! ARE THEY STOPPING FOR ME!” I chirp, and want to jump around for joy. “YOOHOOO! I’M OVER HERE! CAN YOU HELP ME-....”
“......”
But a complete 180 degrees have happened. It turns out this royal caravan is getting chased by someone from behind. Within an instant, these two unlucky soldiers get hit by an arrow and instantly kill them. A pool of blood touches my body. I didn’t have a mouth, but I could already taste the metallic liquid forming on the soil.
“H-HOLY SHIT!.... Are they… dead?”
This was my first time witnessing a murder and dead people right before me. My parents died of old age, but I didn’t see them die. The morgue took care of everything. And so, the rest became history. I have lived in a peaceful world where killing is rare unless war occurs. There are conflicts from here and there, but they are mostly resolved through calm deals that benefit both parties.
But this… This is a different world. Of course, there might be a war happening for all I know. I’m not used to it. As soon as I spot these two deceased bodies at my fore, I really want to run away. But I can’t. I am stuck as a gun and have no limbs I could use.
I am a coward. But who could blame me for it?
Even though I am a revolver, I could still sense a lot of things. But I place my thoughts aside and focus on what is happening in front of me.
After a while, a single person shows up. It is about a girl in her teenage years. If I have to guess it right, this woman right here is a princess. I mean, look at her! The girl has blonde hair befitting for a noble. She wears a pink gown that catches anyone’s attention, earrings made of gold or white gold, and a platinum ring on her ring finger. This woman also has blue eyes, akin to the colour of the sky. Not to mention, my system also describes her as a member of royalty, even to the point of dubbing her the Queen of the Kingdom, which I do not know.
[Name]: {Chloe Winfort]
[Species]: {Human}
[Age]: {18-year-old}
[Class]: {Princess]
[Level 25]
[Abilities:]
- Elementalist - Chloe knows every element in the World of Kepler. However, her spells are only around F-Grade.
…….
HOLY SHIT! A PRINCESS! A REAL PRINCESS OR SOON-TO-BE A QUEEN?!
I have no idea how this world works, but that’s that.
Also, I need a host, fast, to complete my quest and GET MYSELF THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
“Psst! Psst! Chloe!” I mutter, but the princess seems oblivious to my voice.
Princess Chloe keeps looking back and forth behind her. When I snatch a glimpse at the far end of the woods, it appears overpowered adventurers are chasing her! I can’t tell if they are armed with weapons, but they launched their spells a while back in the hopes of killing this lady! I MUST STOP THEM! Or at least neutralised them with my powers. They are casting their spells in Princess Chloe’s direction. Thankfully, none of them hit her!
If I don’t do anything now, the princess would…..
“CHLOE! OVER HERE! LOOK AT ME! LOOK. AT. THE. GROUND!” I clamor, and finally catch her attention.
“E-Eh?”
The moment I roar, the princess lowers her head and meets my gaze… if I have eyes, that is. And that is when I strike up another conversation.
“USE ME! If you want to live, you need to use me! I’m a weapon! I can help you!”
I do not know yet if this princess is a woman with a heart or a ruthless person. BAH! Who cares? This is a girl, and she looks too young to be a murderer. In any case, I have placed my fate on this princess and hope for the best.
And I may have sounded suspicious, but I just… want to help.
“A-Are you sure? Are you sure you’re going to help me? I have nothing to give you in return!”
“I don’t need anything, princess! I just don’t want to see anyone dead anymore.”
Ironically as it is, even though I am a gun, I do not want to kill anyone as much as possible. So if this girl uses me, I’ll instruct her to aim for their limbs. That won’t take their life. Although, these people pursuing the princess might lose some blood if they don’t nurse their injuries. But we will cross that bridge eventually. Right now, prioritising Princess Chloe’s safety is what is important!
The moment Princess Chloe holds me in her hand is also the exact moment she becomes my host. And my quest is now complete.

[Princess Chloe is now your host!] [You have been equipped and ready for combat!] [Quest Complete: You have found a host!] [Reward: You have earned Elemental Bullet!] Those are the words registered on the windows popping up in front of me as soon as this princess holds me in her arms. Chloe’s hands are gentle. When she finally has me, Princess Chloe runs opposite from the pursuers and is now heading north. I go along with her since I don’t have any limbs. “Are you for real, mysterious… thing? I do not understand how you can help or communicate with me. My mother told me objects are inanimate and their life is absent. But you are quite different.” Ah, I see. This world doesn’t have any concepts of guns and other arsenals from my world. And if I were in Princess Chloe’s position as well, I would’ve freaked out and shouted the moment I heard any item talking to me. Well, it doesn’t matter. What’s important right now is to protect this princess from saving both of our lives. Moments

Finally, I have become a Glock-18. A faint light emerges from the princess’ hand, and I evolve into a more powerful pistol. My body has a silver paint covering around me and a few obsidian hues to add an aesthetic touch to it. A window emerges in front of me and tells me what kind of abilities I have upgraded. More importantly, my system has also added [Chloe Winfort] as a member of my party. She is the leader, and I am just a weapon. I don’t care anyway, considering I am just a tool for her to protect herself and my life. And because Princess Chloe is now on my side, she also levels up and levels up! ……………………..

Reincarnated as a Gun in Another World with a System! Chapter 4 - Bounty Hunter or...?
Princess Chloe is already getting the hang of it with the gun - with me. But… she still has a lot of miles away to trek and train, especially her aim. I am not flaming her for it. It’s just that… this is Princess Chloe’s first time wielding a gun, and I am no expert in these sorts of firearms or the like. But I know what it does and how it operates. My knowledge is limited. And that is demonstrated right after she hits the tree. Although Chloe has made a clear shot at the bronze bark, she has squandered a few bullets just to cut the tree down. And that is a problem. It only takes five shots or more just to cut that plant down, I think, or even less if she uses her wind ability or any other elements except if she uses a fire attribute. But that didn’t happen. All 19 shells are exhausted before that tree is taken down. The same applies when Princess Chloe hunts for rabbits. We need some food, so she gets out of the cave, bringing me with her. She finds one, thanks to my guidance and my

“Chloe, aim your pistol at the merchant and do as I say,” I counsel, and whisper at Chloe, thinking this peddler might hear me, which he has.“B-But why, Kuro? My father told me merchants do not want to kill! They only want to help people by selling their stuff and focusing on flourishing their business! Even the mercenaries and the adventurers have never touched each other for a fight, not even once!”“I’m not saying your father is a liar, but listen to me now. Aim the gun at the merchant and repeat after me.”“B-But… He’s just a merchant!”“Looks can be deceiving, princess.”……_________Princess Chloe’s Perspective_________“Who are you, and what do you want?”Kuro, this gun I am aiming at the merchant, tells me to raise my guard. But father always tells me that these peddlers are not to be harmed, for they are not equipped to fight. However, since Kuro has saved my life, I would do as he says... If I think he has overstepped a line, I will stop. Until then, I shall hear him out.
Reincarnated as a Gun in Another World with a System! Chapter 6 - The Calm Before the Storm
We’ve earned around 1000 Credits just by selling the jewelry and dresses Chloe has with her. Since we don’t need such lavish ornaments around Chloe’s body, it is best to sell those things and make them our own pocket money. The two of us have no idea how the adventurer’s guild, the town, or the inn works.I also ask if Chloe is good with money, to which she replies to me with…. “Yes! My parents and I buy stuff from these lavish shops and then…” the story continues. I stop Chloe from resuming any further and ask if she has visited her hometown, far from the interior sides of her own castle.“Hmmmm. Not really. My parents said there were a lot of bad people who wanted us gone, so it was best to help those villagers from afar. So we never get the gist of what is happening in the market unless it is time to deal with the merchant’s guild.”Bingo! The main problem lies there. Chloe’s parents assume that the villagers never really care about them, but in fact, they need to have faith in the

Reincarnated as a Gun in Another World with a System! Chapter 8 - The Adventurer's Guild
Regardless, we resume our stride and end the topic right there as soon as we stop by in front of the adventurer’s guild. It is unlike any other. The only difference from the adventurer’s guild among its contenders of the building is that… this place has an inn, diner, and is closely built in the middle of the plaza, where anyone could see compared to other stores and businesses. Right next to the adventurer’s guild is the merchant’s firm, which controls the market and anything else revolving around money. When Chloe nuzzles the wooden slide and enters the adventurer’s guild, she is immediately welcomed by a woman - a staff from the guild; I guess - and is quickly taken to the reception bar. The place is filled with adventurers, I assume, sitting on the table and chugging their beers overflowing from their mugs. When we pass by, these adventurers steal a glance. I believe they are mesmerised by Chloe’s beauty, especially when she has cut her hair and painted it silver. But when these

Bonus Chapter Third-Person Point of View ___________________________ Two peculiar individuals enter the radar of the adventurer’s guild, and that catches the attention of the Bounty Hunter’s leader. One is a woman with short hair painted in silver, and the other is unknown to the people living in Kepler. At first glance, the building is nothing more different from the ones stationed in every other village and town. But there is something cooking underground… literally. By the time these two individuals leave the adventurer’s guild in a hurry, a poster hovers near the entrance, reminding the receptionist about her task. The picture from the poster resembles quite closely the woman who has hurriedly exited the building. Anne A****n, who is currently working as a staff in Honeywood town and a roaming adventurer, is paid by someone from the higher-up for a specific job. She couldn’t say who hired her to kill someone. But the person behind the murderous intention belongs to none other t

Chapter 100 - Monster Horde (1)
Kuro’s Perspective__________________Even back in my world, the blaring sound of a horn just like that means that something is happening. And that something is most likely a war of some sort. And Chloe deduces the same thing.Just like what we have expected, that sound comes from starting a battle. And when I check my system, it appears that… dozens of red balls are blinking in the middle of the woods, telling us that there are multiple enemies heading in the Eastern Republic’s direction. Dozens of blue markings, indicating neutral individuals, are eliminated as soon as that happens. It just means that these scarlet hues are barbarians, bandits, or even monsters.But it seems it is the latter.Since we’re already here, we go to the highest cliff and witness what is happening. From where we are, hundreds… if not, thousands of beasts have already infiltrated the gates of the Eastern Republic, killing almost a dozen elven and demi-human guards protecting the post. Some even have committ

I don’t even know who to side with anymore.But even though I have promised Chloe that I will not help her, since my parents have different ideas compared to Chloe, I… I still ask them a question.“Father… Mother, why did you reject Chloe’s offer when an alliance can be beneficial for both parties? Why? Why did you reject such a wonderful offer that can help not only our people but also others? I thought that’s the reason why the Eastern Republic has been the lead country to develop dozens of things unrelated to military weapons… Chloe has said it herself! We are not going to kill or provide anything besides our word, and that should be enough to scare the Western Country and the So
Chapter 98 - All on Her Own
Chloe also doesn’t beat the bush and tells exactly what she needs to say. She wants an alliance. And the only thing she can do is to beg on her knees, which… Chloe surprisingly does. Even I have been caught off guard about it, and I have not even begged for someone or go down on my knees.“Please… I’m not doing this for myself… but for our people… If we can somehow make an alliance, my brother will have to fall back and retreat. You won’t have to fight or anything. I just want your name listed on the alliance. I know, for a fact, that the Eastern Republic refuses to kill any individuals. Hence, your neutral state. But I can assure you that the only need is your word of alliance. Nothing more, nothing less… I’ll do anything you want. Just… I want my Kingdom back.”King Edwyrd pauses for a second as he scrutinise Chloe’s eyes. Now everyone knows this person right here is the princess of the Winfort, begging for an alliance with the Eastern Republic. I know that this is the last draw Chl
Chapter 97 - Alliance
Once the gate has been shut and the people remaining in the place are just the five of us, the King and Queen finally rise from their seats and head towards us. They don’t have any malice in their eyes. But their glares are enough to judge whether someone is a traitor, a spy, or even an individual who wishes to wreak havoc against their Republic. But after a few seconds of scrutinising the hell out of Chloe, King Edwyrd and Queen Verrona finally give in and accept Chloe as a guest with hidden intentions. “I see you’re telling the truth, Zoe Sunstone… But it seems there is more than meets the eye…” the elf who has said that is the King. His eyes glues at Chloe. KLing Edwyrd desperately tries to see through the facial feature of Chloe from the hole of her hood, but… the ebony environment hinders his eyesight from peeking any further. These rulers of the Eastern Land do not have any abilities to check whether someone is lying or telling the truth. Their leers have just come from their
Chapter 96 - It is Time
We don’t go through any meetings with Prince Faelar’s parents. Prince Faelar already knows Chloe has met dozens of nobles and leaders during her young age, so she shouldn’t be nervous at all. And if she is, Chloe is anxious not from the rulers but for what they are going to say.Prince Faelar also knows that I will be here with Chloe, suggesting the right thing to say. And even without my help, I too know Chloe. And she will not say anything rash, not unless the rulers of the Republic wish to provoke Chloe. This is the time we have been waiting for. The moment of truth is now in front of us. And the only thing for us to do right now is to let the guards know Prince Faelar and his guests, Chloe and I, would like to speak with the King and Queen. Usually, we need an appointment to meet the leaders of the Republic or Kingdom. But since we know Prince Faelar, we don’t have to go through that process.The only people standing before us are the pair of elven soldiers guarding their post. B
Chapter 95 - Behind the Throne Room
Throughout the meal, Dilya has striked a conversation with Prince Faelar and Chloe, asking about random things such as where he has been and what kind of event he has done. It’s not because Dilya is curious and worried about Prince Faelar. It’s about gauging and putting up the pieces if she trusts us or makes a mistake where our stories don't collide.But there’s nothing for us to hide besides me and the conversation Chloe has to do to build an alliance. Besides that, we disclose everything. Much to Dilya’s surprise, she believes it at the end of the day. However, she isn’t happy about it. As soon as Dilya is finished with her meal, she stands up, lets the servant take her plates, and leaves the room without a single word. But before she leaves the place, Dilya turns around and meets Chloe’s eyes. And then to Prince Faelar.“After what my brother has explained, I do not apologise for attacking you… since you’ve eaten our food and I believe you can stay for tonight… It’s not like ever
Chapter 94 - Preparation
We are invited inside the castle. There are guards standing on their post, watching Chloe’s every move. They still suspect Chloe as someone else besides being a guest with Prince Faelar. These elven soldiers thought that Chloe is some kind of individual who would take advantage of the situation… or end up killing the royal family.“Why is Prince Faelar friends with… such a total stranger?”“Maybe he’s under a spell? That is likely the case… I think.”“Or maybe it has something to do with a bribe or forced deal that Prince Faelar had made… Maybe he has fucked up? I don’t know.”Those are the baseless rumours the soldiers have presented. But none of them are real. In fact, Prince Faelar is the one who made the request. And Chloe right here just accepted it. If it weren’t for Prince Faelar wanting to visit the Sanctum of Ugmjir, he wouldn’t be with the topic.But these royal members of the Elven Republic do not know a thing. And besides, Prince Faelar had a blast with us. Between Prince

It is a long walk. Fortunately, the sun is still out, and we still have a few minutes before the moon can rise again. There is a debate where we can meet with Prince Faelar’s parents tomorrow, but… we’re already here. Our group might as well talk to the King and Queen and get this over with.Besides, Chloe already knows what she wants to say. And so does Prince Faelar. Prince Faelar’s only request is that… he doesn’t want to be involved with this. And even if he does, he knows that this will just anger his parents. Chloe and I understand his circumstances, since in the beginning of this mission, we just asked Prince Faelar if we could meet his parents. And that’s going to be taken care of a few minutes later…“I guess… this is it, huh?” Pr
