Gun Gale Online....

So, the Luger PO8 is a toggle-lock, recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol. The first war it was used in was the Boxer Rebellion. It weights 1 lb and 15 Oz. It's 222 mm long. It holds 8 rounds.

And there were 11 people in the same room as you.

They weren't really threats, but you liked to always be ready in case something goes wrong.

You at least kept it under your coat.

You let out a yawn before the door opened, signaling a new costumer. You looked up at the sound and spotted a man walk in. He walked right past you towards the back of the room.

Just the fella you were looking for.

Also, you now had 12 possible threats to worry about. Maybe you should've bought that clip upgrade after all.

You got off your seat and looked over to where the man was now sitting.

He sighed as he opened his menu. He had work tomorrow, but it was still early enough for some looting. Maybe he would head out to the badlands today. It was easy enough pray with the new players.

Especially the Americans. They really do love their guns. Especially the ones who knew what weapon they used. Lots of upgrades. Lots of money.

Great for the resell.

He smirked before he noticed someone had taken a seat across from him.

He looked up confused, only to find you sitting there with your feet up, showing off your boots which had a set of old spurs.

He looked at the rest of your uniform and almost laughed. It was all rookie gear. A normal black coat, gloves, pants, and holsters.

He could probably make 300 coin if he looted your corpse.

But what ended up catching his eye was the red bandanna that was tied around your neck. It looked newer than the other gear you had.

Man: Can I help you?

Y/N: Dreadlocks, right?

The man raised a brow as you looked up at him.

Man: What...

Y/N: You're Dreadlock235. The guy who's been PKing like crazy over near the ruins.

That was indeed the man's gamer tag, but how would you even know? He turned off his username. You shouldn't be able to see it.

But he wasn't going to show any weakness. So he crossed his arms.

Man: So what if I am?

You just shrugged.

Y/N: If you are, then I'll have to kill you.

The man blinked. Did you just threatened to kill him? He started to chuckle while you just sat there, unmoving.

Man: You're funny. Now scram, newbie. Before you get hurt.

You just looked at him.

Y/N: So, you're not coming peacefully?

The man just sat there.

Y/N: Well....okay.

Without warning, four shots came from below the table. The bullets flew straight through the wood and immediately hit their mark.

Dreadlock was hit by every bullet, nearly depleting his health. He pulled out his own gun, but you were much quicker.

You fired off two more shots, both hitting his head. He fell down to the ground as everyone else in the rundown bar stood up.

You just watched as his body slowly turned blue before it erupted into the telltale triangles. Right when it did, you got a message.

Congratulations On Completing Your Bounty!

Here Is Your Reward:

$10,000

That was it? Well, the guy who put the bounty on him was pretty desperate. Oh well.

You just shrugged and holstered your weapon. You turned around and walked out of the room, leaving everyone in silence.

You stepped out into the dystopian city that was the main hub for the massive game. This was the counterpart to the starting city for Sword Art Online.

That horrible nightmare.

You shook it off and looked around before you noticed some other players looking at you. They began to laugh as they turned and walked off.

You looked down at your appearance and sighed. Yeah, you still looked like a complete and total noob. But you also weren't really a champion or whatever.

Then again, you did have quite a bit of money saved up. More than enough to practically buy the entire shop if you wanted to.

But that wasn't why you were doing this.

Not even close.

You looked around for a moment before you noticed something.

A head of light blue hair.

But it was gone as soon as you looked at it. Whoever that was, they just made a mistake. That alley was where those creeps usually hang out. The ones that check out the female players.

The thought made you shiver.

You turned to leave the other way, but you stopped.

You shook your head and turned back around. You just wanted to see if they were okay.

You made it to the alley and looked in.

???: Leave me alone!

Your eyes grew wide when you spotted three players against one. Three pervs against one girl.

Player: Come on. We're just being nice.

Perv: Yeah. Why do you have to be so angry? You don't like fun or something.

Y/N: Oh God. It's worse than I thought. They're not just pervs. They're cliché pervs.

You shook your head as you stepped out into the open. One of the pervs noticed you which lead to the others to look up.

Y/N: Let her go.

The three stared at you, then laughed.

Perv: What are you going to do? Beat us with your level one pistol?

Player: Get out of here before I tear you to shreds with my rifle.

You just rolled your eyes and pulled out your gun. You aimed it at the trio.

Y/N: Last chance. I have two bullets in the clip right now. I only really need one.

The trio looked at each other as the girl stood there confused. You looked like a complete rookie. How could you even hold your own against these guys?

Y/N: Well?

Player: Not a chance.

He reached on his belt, but you had already fired off a shot. The bullet flew right past the group, but you smirked as it hit a pipe. It broke and steam shot out as you ran forward.

You grabbed the girl's wrist and pulled her along as you escaped the alleyway.

???: Hey!

Y/N: Come on!

You reached the street, but she pulled away. You turned around confused, but you only saw her angry face.

Y/N: Uh...

???: I had that! You just messed up my whole plan.

You raised a brow.

Y/N: Your plan...

You suddenly heard a series of gunfire in the alleyway which caught you off guard. The girl sighed.

???: Well, I guess they still got them. Good.

She crossed her arms and looked at you.

???: You almost messed up my plan. Who the hell are you?

You stood there for a moment before you awkwardly rubbed the back of your neck.

Y/N: Uh....Luger.

The girl looked at you like you were joking. You weren't.

???: Luger? Uh, okay. Wait...I think I know you. You're that low level bounty hunter, right?

Y/N: I mean, I wouldn't say low level. I've done some big jobs and...

The girl just turned back to the alley. She nodded and turned back to you.

???: Look, thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. But I'm not alone.

You just nodded.

Y/N: Well, you know my name. You got one, or should I just call you Blue?

???: Please don't. My name is Sinon.

Your eyes grew wide.

Y/N: Wait. Sinon? As in the Sinon? The best sniper in Gun Gale Online?

Sinon nodded. However, when she looked back to where you were standing, you were gone.

She looked around before she spotted you walking away.

Sinon: Wait...

Y/N: You got this! Later!

You rather avoid getting involved with higher ranked players. Especially someone like her. You had nothing against them, but you wanted to help those who couldn't help themselves. Clearly she could handle herself. You pulled out your gun and quickly reloaded so you had a full clip.

Y/N: Sinon. The sniper. Interesting.

Meanwhile, Sinon watched as you walked away. What even was that? She crossed her arms as someone stepped out of the alley.

???: Hey. You ready to go? Se got the bounty. We're about to switch over to ALFheim.

Sinon just watched you for a moment before she nodded. She opened her menu and quickly typed something.

You were far down the street when you suddenly got a message.

Sinon Has Sent You A Friend Request!

You stared at it for a moment. You looked back to see her logging out. You smiled a bit as you clicked your choice.
