The Villain's Story



Kazikato sighed as he gazed aimlessly at the ceiling.

"I'm bored."

He said. At the same time, the robotic sound of typing rang throughout the room.

"Max, You aren't bored?"

He asked Maxwell, who was working on his desk.

"I have too much work to do."

"Sigh…"

Kazikato sighed as he rolled around on the Sofa.

"Why don't you go to sleep? That's what you do most of the time."

Suggested Maxwell.

"That's what I'm saying! I love to sleep but even I don't want to sleep anymore."

Maxwell went back to work. Kazikato rolled off the sofa and started making nonsensical sounds.

"Ughhhh."

"HUUUUUU."

…

…

…

…

It was getting on Maxwell's nerves. He wanted to work in peace but Kazikato apparently had other ideas.

Suddenly, Maxwell remembered something important.

"Wait, Didn't we get rewards from the raid?"

They did…it was just that they were too busy with everything that was happening that they didn't check. Maxwell didn't have a contribution to the raid…But Alan and Kazikato did.

Kazikato stood up immediately.

"Oh yeah! We did get something! I wonder what it was."

Maxwell stopped looking at his computer and stared at Kazikato, curious.

Kazikato had the third-highest contribution. He must have gotten something good from the insanely hard quest.

[Primordial dragon of Ariel urges you to open it.]

It seemed that even Ariel was curious.

Kazikato accessed his system and found it.

[Quest Reward for Repelling the Marquis. Would you like to open it? After Opening the reward it will no longer be stored inside the system.

YES/NO]

Kazikato pressed yes, and then a glock appeared in his hand.

"A gun?"

"What's this?"

Both Maxwell and Kazikato stared at the weapon curiously.

Kazikato opened its description and displayed it.

[Item Name:Arcane Mana Glock

Rank:S+

Description: The Arcane Mana Glock is a unique and powerful firearm that seamlessly blends the arcane arts with modern weaponry. This one-of-a-kind weapon harnesses the energies of mana, empowering bullets with mystical properties. Crafted by master artisans who fused ancient magic with cutting-edge technology, this epic weapon delivers devastating firepower while channeling the raw force of mana.

Properties:

Mana-Infused Ammunition: The Arcane Mana Glock utilizes specialized bullets imbued with concentrated mana. When fired, these enchanted projectiles inherit the properties of the mana within, enabling them to penetrate magical barriers, disrupt magical defenses, and inflict substantial damage to supernatural adversaries.

Arcane Trigger Mechanism: The weapon features a sophisticated trigger mechanism imbued with runes and enchantments. When activated, the mechanism efficiently draws upon the wielder's mana, amplifying the bullets' impact and velocity. This results in enhanced accuracy, increased firing speed, and improved damage potential.

Elemental Attunement: The Arcane Mana Glock can be attuned to various elemental energies, allowing the wielder to choose between fire, ice, lightning, or other elemental bullet enhancements. These infused bullets produce additional elemental damage upon contact, exploiting the elemental weaknesses of opponents and augmenting the weapon's versatility in combat.

Mana Absorption: The gun possesses the extraordinary ability to absorb residual mana from the environment, replenishing the wielder's magical energies. This unique property enables the user to quickly recover spent mana during intense battles, ensuring a consistent supply for spellcasting or other magical abilities.

Compact and Concealable: The Arcane Mana Glock retains the form factor of a traditional compact pistol, making it easily concealable and portable. Its lightweight design and ergonomic grip ensure comfortable handling and precise aiming, giving the wielder an advantage in close-quarters combat situations.

Limitations:

Mana Dependency: The Arcane Mana Glock relies on the user's mana reserve to access its magical potential. Constant firing can rapidly deplete the wielder's mana reserves, necessitating periods of rest or access to mana-restoring resources to maintain its effectiveness.

Complex Maintenance: As a fusion of magic and technology, the Arcane Mana Glock requires regular and meticulous maintenance. The enchantments and mechanisms within demand skilled artisans for upkeep to ensure its reliability and peak performance.

Short-Range Limitation: While formidable in close to medium-range combat, the Arcane Mana Glock's effectiveness decreases significantly at longer distances. The mana-infused bullets are affected by gravity and lose stability, making long-range accuracy a challenge

Maxwell marveled at the stats. He grabbed the gun from Kazikato's incapable hands and observed it carefully.

The gun had a marvelous design, his eyes were shining as he appraised it. If he had to explain it…it would be like.

The Arcane Mana Glock boasts a stunning and futuristic design, fusing elements of classic firearms with intricate magical engravings. Its sleek, compact frame is crafted from a lightweight yet durable alloy, adorned with a matte black finish that exudes an air of sophistication and mystery. Maxwell appreciated the design greatly, especially the color combinations. However…

Upon closer inspection, the gun reveals delicate and shimmering rune engravings etched along its barrel, grip, and slide. These arcane symbols pulse gently with a soft, ethereal glow, hinting at the immense power imbued within the weapon. The runes themselves represent ancient sigils of mana manipulation, a testament to the intricate craftsmanship involved in its creation.

The grip of the weapon features a textured surface, ensuring a secure and comfortable hold during intense combat encounters. It seamlessly integrates a small display embedded into the handle, showing the current mana levels within the gun and providing the wielder with crucial information to manage their magical resources effectively.

The muzzle of the Arcane Mana Glock presents an intricately designed mana chamber, resembling a small crystalline orb suspended in a protective housing. Within this chamber, a visible swirling vortex of mana energy can be observed, constantly shifting and pulsating in vibrant, mesmerizing hues.

To complement its magical nature, the weapon is adorned with accentuating elements, such as metallic trims inlaid with iridescent gemstones. These gems refracted light, creating a captivating kaleidoscope of colors that dance along the gun's surface when exposed to various light sources.

As the Arcane Mana Glock is holstered or equipped, a faint aura of arcane energy surrounds the weapon, radiating a soft, pulsating glow that fluctuates in intensity with the wielder's mana levels. This visual effect serves as both a display of its inherent power and a warning to foes encountering its wielder in battle.

Overall, the Arcane Mana Glock's appearance seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with enigmatic magical symbolism, truly capturing the essence of a techno-magical masterpiece.

"Beautiful…truly marvelous!"

Maxwell was basically drooling over it. To his eyes, such a masterpiece was worth it. Of course, Kazikato wouldn't understand. He just would not understand the beauty of such an object.

[Primordial Dragon of Death Ariel advises you to give the weapon to the maniac drooling over it. You have no need for it anyways.]

Kazikato followed Ariel's suggestion.

"You can keep it, you know. I don't really use guns."

"I can?"

"..."

Never had he seen Maxwell, the one who was stoic so excited. Never. Guess he really loved guns. He was a Gun Nut. (Someone crazy for guns.) Kazikato nodded.

"Thanks!"

"Oh my goodness…I wonder how you work…"

[Primordial dragon of Death Ariel suggests you leave.]

Kazikato slowly retreated and headed towards the door.

"Oh, go check on Edward too, See if he's been tamed or not."

"Alright…"

Kazikato was scared of Maxwell right now…He didn't know why.

He just quietly listened and left the room.
