Manuke FPS Chapter 4

POV – Manuke

Overlooking the two goblins that had been eliminated with the M1911A1, I was troubled.

In the game, VMB, CP (Crystal Points) would drop when one defeated an enemy, and when one approaches the corpses, the CP would automatically be recovered.  CP is one of the various elements of VMB that are integral to the game.

The regeneration of health, to recover from physical attacks, as well as the ability to purchase weapons and replenish ammunition, reduced the destruction of items, weapons and the exoskeleton to a matter of having the necessary CP.

But, after falling into this strange world, and defeating enemies for the first time, it seems there are no circumstances in which crystal points will appear. In other words, I have no choice but to make do with the crystal points currently in my possession, which I have amassed over the course of 3 years of dedicated gameplay. Several times, version updates [VerUp in RAW] and large expansions had increased the amount of. VMB had become a monstrous title, due to that and it’s rapidly expanding player-base and CP earned by players.

There’s no use thinking about returning to my original world, even if I did, it might take years, decades, to return to there. I’m going to give up on that, to live in this world. As for this VMB power, it will, in every aspect, help me. I ought to be embarrassed, because honestly, I’m constrained in the use of its power.

I use the M1911A1 to try to touch the goblin that had a hole opened in it’s head, but nothing happens. Not only was it just a corpse, the powered suit had no function to conveniently absorb the corpse.

There should still be people, who seemed to have been kidnapped, as well as goblins, inside. How should I do this… I narrowed my eyes and squatted to think next to the Goblin’s corpse, and stared into the darkness in the back of the burrow. The extermination of Goblins surely is not difficult, as long as I’m shooting from a distance before approaching. However, I can’t lose too many bullets….. I haven’t tried weather or not I can buy bullets in the SHOP yet.

I start the TSS, which is seated on my left, arm and touch the monitor, continuing through to the ammunition purchase screen. However, the gears of war had begun to turn before the purchase could be completed.

“KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!” [TLN Google = “Cowabunga ah ah ah ah !!!”]

A woman’s scream echoed from the darkness at the back of the nest hole involuntarily. I immediately suspended the operation of the TSS, and point the M1911A1 toward the darkness.

Someone’s being attacked! Now, I should have the equipment and ammunition to overcome this situation!

With my stance corrected and my M1911A1 poised to kill, I check the map on my goggles and reaffirm the surroundings. Strangely, there is a small portion of the map towards the inside.

With the goggles an NV mode on again, I slowly resumed moving towards the back of the hole.

Advancing 100 meters further to the final destination point was reflected in the map. The road of the nest hole which had spread quite broadly, has become a dead end.

There was loose curve on the way. There was still distance, but there may be goblins beyond that point, so I hid behind the curve. I tucked the M1911A1 into it’s waist holster and switched to my primary, the MP5A4.

Toggling the safety switch to 3-bullet burst fire mode, I got into a kneeling position and looked down the iron sights that had been peeking out. I lined up the crosshair of the goggles with the iron-sights in a straight line with the head of a Goblin. The goggles react, and zoom in while centering the crosshair.

In VMB, the basic equipment was the head goggles. Therefore, there were various boresights for firearms as well as features to combat the reduction in function and vision. In addition, as an auxiliary function to the play style of using no sights, known as Iron sect all, the goggle has a telescopic function built-in. However, it was also taken into consideration to not make it too versatile or omnipotent, so the telescopic function requires some time to activate and use.

That goblin is hitting just to the side of that womans head?! 3 ugly animals… Other than those to the side of the woman… wait a second, aren’t there too many? There are 13… First, I had to eliminate the three near the woman at once. By then, their attention had been drawn towards me.

I turned on the safety on the MP5A4 and swapped back over to the M1911A1. I leave the silencer attached. There should be 5 rounds in the clip. Immediately I begin, because the women is close by, but I have to adjust the sights carefully. When the head of goblin, the front sight, the cross hair and my aim become settled, but barely, it zooms in. When using the handgun system, magnification is only 1.1 times.

Without the M1911A1 in my  hands trembling, I point the barrel at the Goblin’s head. Although life probably will be mowed down again and again from now on, I feel nothing. After all, it seems I’m unexpectedly cold-hearted. Thinking such a thing, I pull the trigger.

Along with the sound of the passing air, the goblin who was yelling in an increasingly strange voice and the one that had brandished a club towards the woman collapsed. Subsequently there were two shots, as the crosshair moved to two animals that were in the vicinity, here because it was at a low angle, so there was the possibility of misfiring.

Their consciousness taken, the three goblins collapsed. I switched back to the MP5A4 and switched to the 3-bullet burst fire mode. I held it close to my face and aimed, the stock to my shoulder.

“GyaGuGyaaaa”

Within the circle of goblins, one particular Goblin raised it’s voice, and the 12 other goblins turned in this direction. The funny thing is, not that with the trigger pulled, the muzzle flashes red, but that there is little to no recoil, firing blur, or shaking of the sights due to the exoskeleton (powered suit). It was like this in VMB, so it is likely that the recoil of this MP5A4 is due to it being an MP5A4 from VMB. It is not a real MP5A4, and the same recoil as in the game occurs here, where is kept to a minimum, and sliding the crosshairs to the next target of the head happens with ease.

Verifying the crosshair’s spread as I shoot, I ensured that the cross was intact and pulled the trigger again, which caused the crosshair to spread to the size of a head, indicating a decrease in accuracy.

This spread also decreases quite quickly. Especially when the distance between opponents and accuracy is required to overcome it, the use of the 3-bullet burst is incredibly valuable compared to full auto.The combusted propellant of the 3-bullet bursts and the flashes and muzzle-flash dance in the dark. Suddenly, the bodies of many of the goblins ruptured and split in half.

What? What is that?

The goblins blew up, and a lump of something like blood, sprayed the liquid everywhere, while flying towards me.

Firearm?!  Magic?

I fell from the wall and immediately went into hiding further back. It landed on the rocks at the same time I retreated, and with a roaring blast, the wall was destroyed. With it’s enormous power, could it possibly be a frag grenade?

The first thing that comes to mind is magic.This is a different, strange world, so the existence of magic is possible, and the idea of it is certainly floating around in my mind. I didn’t think goblins could wield this much power because they didn’t seem very bright, but if it can shoot this power freely and consecutively, I may have lost my advantage. I thought to immediately go back to fighting, but I should not be impatient. I replace the MP5A4’s magazine. I check to verify that no more of those bullets fly towards me and ready the MP5A4 again, then searched for the person who began shooting magic.

Is it the one shaking the long stick? I am wearing clothes that looked something like his. I raise a war-cry, because it was a survival instinct, and pierced the head of the Goblin at the other end. I adjusted the crosshair to the rest of the animals, few of which survived intact.

After I checked the map to ensure that all of the dots representing the goblins that had once been visible were now gone, I saw a new dot appear. It wasn’t approaching me from behind, and so I advanced slowly into the nest.

Woman, you aren’t dead, are you? I was a bit restless, but there was a light spot on the map, so it shouldn’t be a corpse. But it could be the goblin who was shooting magic just a little while ago.

Oh, it’s…. I saw a person here, no doubt. I set the goggles’ NV mode back to normal, slowly moved towards her to speak.

“Ano, are you all right?”

The woman shows a questioning look for a moment, but eventually answered.

「—–？ ——！ 」

I couldn’t understand a word she said….
