Chapter 03

The next day at some town bar in GGO, Two guys who were playing billiards were making small talk.....

"Hey, have you heard it, The X squad were slayed on the field yesterday...."

"Ah? Isn't the X squad a pretty strong team? How was it slayed?"

"Who knows? Well, the rumor goes like this: They were searching for a monster on the city ruins where some PK(Player Killer) Rigged the street with an explosive. I guess they got wiped out by the explosion..."

"Eeeh, that's pretty bad..."

They continued their small talk while hitting the ball, while i was sitting and drinking behind them. Little did they know, that I was the PK they were gossiping about. I'm glad i had my camo cape covering me when i entered.

"Looks like you've already make a name for yourself, Bell."

A small male voice whispered to me,

"Hmph. It's not like i'm proud of it."

A chestnut haired person that sitting next to me is my friend Kazune. Who invited me to play this game a while ago. We were there, drinking and resting a little after hunting monsters together.

After the incident yesterday, I was going by different rules when i'm going out on the fields. 'Try to evade players while you can, and only engage if you're engaged' this is my new rules. It's better than having people trying to shoot at me all day. For the most part, i'll hunted monsters like always, but if any players came near, i'll avoid them.

"You know, you're kind of being a coward."

Kazune said.

"Yeah, i needed to lay low for now, otherwise people will put a bounty on me."

I guess he doesn't know, how terrifying it is, being targeted by so many players at once. Heck, the last time i even went on the battlefield, i was almost killed. I'm not a pro at the first place. Once we finished our drinks, we decided to leave.

"So, what are you gonna do after this?"

"Well.... I think, i'm gonna looking for a new rifle."

"Huh, why? Aren't you content with your current one?"

"No. I mean, yeah it's a good rifle, but i want something more. You know, like an upgrade."

I was still wearing the M21 I had before. The rifle is still great, but I felt that i should look for a more better gun, since my current one is starting to show some flaws.

"Oh, is that so? In that case, i may know a place where you can get a good one."

"Really? Where?"

And so, Kazune took me somewhere. He lead me down to a small shop, hidden between a tall building in a cramped alley. Inside the shop, it looked like a warehouse. But to my surprise, it was full of rare and powerful guns that possibly can be looted from ruins and deadly monsters.

"What kind of place is this?"

I said in amazement.

"I'm guessing your money is still thin, so i could lend you some, for now. I'm a regular here. So pick whatever you want."

He said as i wonder around the shop and look for a suitable gun for me. I saw a lot of high caliber sniper rifle, but those are way to big and heavy for me. There is also some pistols of various sizes and caliber along with SMG, and assault rifles. After some more searching, I saw something that caught my eyes. I look over the rifle more closer. It was indeed a very nice weapon.
