Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Link start!
[Gun Gale Online ]
"Welcome to Gun Gale Online, or GGO for short. As you may know this is a VRMMORPG that was released in April 2025. Despite the game was created by an American company, people all over the world have played this game, making it one of the most famous VRMMOs since Sword Art Online. Before I continue. Do you know what happen in Sword Art Online"
"Yep I've done my research Kureha"
"Nice Shujinko. Anyways, the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth, somewhere in the far future, with a massive spaceship being the not only the capital-city, which had the ruins of an ancient city, filled with mutated creatures and autonomous robots below it. This spaceship was called the SBC Glocken, and it was also the starting-point for every new player in GGO."
"Right"
"Hey have you heard about Death gun" Asked Kureha
"The one who could apparently kill other players even in real life? That Death gun?"
"Also done your research haven't you? But have you heard about the Phantom."
"Who?"
"Not only about 3 weeks after the release of the game an unknown player, nicknamed "The Phantom" had appeared. He started to hunted down every single top 3 ranked player in every server all around the world. Scary right.
"He sure does. I hope we don't have to run to him. Ha! ha! So when do I start the tutorial?"
(Bristol/England-Black Ops airsoft- April 5, 2026)
"Charlie are you ready?" Asked Charlie's friend.
"Yeah boss" he replied.
"Ha! Ha! Your a good kid." He switch on his comm. "Ami kick us off"
"Roger bro" said the female voice.
"HIT!" shouted the player. "DEAD MAN COMING OUT!"
"Sniper! In the bushes?"
"HIT!" Shouted a nearby player. The enemy started firing to all sides with here guns, they're all confused of what had hit them.
"This is Oracle, the enemy is lit start the assault." Said Charlie's friend. "Come on Charlie" many more Players from Charlie's team has join the fight.
"This is the best plan you ever had Dusty" complimented Charlie. "Is this because of the of your dad right?"
"It more than that Charlie. I'm part of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment for god sakes." Replied Dusty whiles firing his AK-74 at the other team, but all of the sudden more enemy reinforcements have arrive. "Shit more of them." Curses Dusty. More enemy machine gunners have arrive on scene ready to Eliminate more players.
"HIT" Cried a friendly player followed up by 3 more other players.
"Heck me. This why I'm not getting promoted" muttered Dusty. "hey Jedi you ready" Dusty took out a plastic Kukari and his M93R out.
"Ready" said Charlie. Charlie took out a a toy lightsaber and extended it to its full length. Charlie had trained himself for half a year to perfect hitting multiple BB pellets in high speed and most of it is thank to GGO. Charlie ran out in the open battlefield, he would see the pellet coming at him and he would block it using his toy lightsaber and shot the man firing at him.
"Hey! Call your hit! Mate!" Shouted an angry player but Charlie ignored him. Another man shot him and again he deflected the BB and shoots back.
"Dude! What the hell man! Call your Hit!" And again he ignored the angry man and kept running. But suddenly a shot was heard and Charlie felt a pain on his backside. A referee with a high powered gas blowback Glock 17 had shot him in the backside. The amounted pain was unbearable, due to the fact that pistol could shoot around 500 FPS.
"Are you going to call hit son?" Asked the referee.
"Yes! Yes! I will sir" answered Charlie who is rolling on the ground. "To be fair I did blocked all the shots."
"And we said you are prohibited to use a lightsaber or block any shot with it. It's straight out cheating"
"What! That's bull" Protested Charlie
"Just go back to spawn!" Cried the referee
{Later}
It was now Lunch break for all of the player but many had left the site to get on with there life. Dusty and his sister had left because apparently they have somethings to do back home.
"Hey Charlie!" Cried a voice. Charlie heard the voice and turned around to see how it was. To his surprise it was his old friend from called Ashton.
"Ashton?! I never replied that you were here, Its been a long time mate." Charlie answered.
"I never seen you since school Charlie. Ashton said.
"So What brings you here to airsoft. Your more of a NEET than an out going person."
"Ouch! Well I was wondering if you and I could go on GGO again"
Charlie eyes widen in surprise, "What?! Mate I don't like the game, it's boring"
"Come on man. We could go bounty hunting or monster hunting, just like old times." He desperately asked. "I could even get he old gang back together too."
"No thanks Ashton. It's just GGO is getting boring. Even though it's been out for like a year or so, I crush the game less than 3 mouths."
"Or maybe we could hunt down the Phantom."
"Who?" Charlie curiosity asked.
"How have you not heard of the Phantom?!" Ashton shouted in surprise. "He's like the most Mysterious player ever to exist! Well personally I think Death gun is the most mysterious. But! Rumour says that he's a vicious hunter that stalk his opponent until he strikes with his silent sniper. And rumour also says that he wears a black tactical Kevlar armour and a mysterious looking scrim scarf that cover his face." Charlie does not look very convince By the story but Ashton did his puppy dog eyes. "Please Charlie."
"uhh! Fine Ashton! You got yourself a deal." Charlie said. Ashton was taken back by that response but he was very happy to have an old friend back.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!...be online at 5 o'clock no later! I'll be waiting for you in the lobby". He energetically shouted. "Partner it's good to you back. He tried to hug Charlie but was gently push back.
"Jesus. You're acting like I've returned from the dead or something."
{Even later-1700 hours-Charlie POV}
'It's finally 5 o'clock and it time for me to return to GGO. Hell, I never thought I would go back there again, not after killing so many high ranked player just for fun and making a name of myself not in England but all over the world. I wonder how Ashton is going to react when he finds out that his best friend was this mysterious "Phantom". And I don't intended to find out, If my name is already that big then I have to lay low. I got my AmuSphere ready and lie down on my bed. I put the headset over my head and I only have to say the magic word,
"Link Start!"
{POV ends}
{Gun Gale Online-1701 hours- SBC Glocken}
Charlie spawned in GGO in an isolated ally way, it was pure luck that he didn't spawn in a crowded area and risking the the chance of him being recognise by everyone in the lobby. He quickly change his entire outfit, from his Chaos battle suit and the black tactical Kevlar armour to a green dreadnaught suit and green multi cam vest, and from his intimidating looking scrim scarf to a brush hat. His weapon remains the same but he took out the suppressor for his L115A3 to reduce the chance of looking too suspicious mainly because suppressor are very uncommon. Charlie was now happy with his changes and heads out to find his friends in the lobby but he can't find them anywhere. he went on the menu to inspect some stuff before moving on, he looked at the word that was on top of his character's head from the menu, and muttered the name he chose for GGO.
"Häyhä"
He then went to the "Equipment-Page", and started to look through the weapons he had in his inventory:
L115A3: [x3-x12 x 50 sight and spotting scope, detachable suppressor, Range finder, Laser sight]
Beretta 93R: [muzzle break, Integrated Grip]
Red energy sword:[N/A]
he was relieve to see all his weapons that help him in all his time in GGO but that feeling was cut short because all of a sudden he receive a surprise message from Ashton:
To. Charlie,
CHARLIE I'm getting attacked by player hunters! HELP! I'm in solitary sands, just get here now.
"Bloody hell! ASHTON YOU'RE USELESS!"
Charlie rushed to the teleporter and chosen his destination: Solitary sands [OK/cancel]. He clicked ok and a blue light surrounds him and de-materialised him to his location.
{Solitary Sands- GGO-1710 hours}
Charlie searched the map to find and to his surprise he's located in a small ruins of a ship with his gang. Charlie has a feeling that this is going to go badly.
Charlie wonder across the hill and to his surprise he found other players, not just ordinary player but,
"The Wolves" on of the most infamous player hunter groups in the EU server. Their leader is the top ranked in Britain and his gang is well trained. Charlie had met him on several occasions in the past. He moved to a higher vantage point to see what's going on and to no surprise Ashton is gunned down. He went on his menu and went to "Equipments".
He went to Clothings/outfits/Phantom. His Avatar change from green to black. Even though he told himself to not show phantom and to lay low, he just ignored himself. He felt a slight regret but "what's done is done"
[With Ashton]
Ashton and the gang was in trouble. When he was supposedly waiting for Charlie, they wondered off with the gang to solitary sands to hunt some monsters. But they were quickly ambush by a well know player hunter gang named "The Wolves". Most of Ashton's gang were equipped live optical and laser weapons while the other gang were armed to the teeth with live ammo weapons and shields, they were ready to kill.
"Mate. we're Outnumbered and Outgunned!" Shouted one of Ashton's gang member
"I know that Joe!" He angrily replied whiles firing his laser gun. Ashton luckily spotted a large portion of enemy moving to the left flank, possibly trying to outflank them "William! Suppress the enemy coming on the left flank"
"Roger Boss!" Shouted William, he quietly but quickly moved to the ruins on the left flank and positioned himself in a house with his FN Minimi and when he sees an enemy in his cross hair he fired the LMG.
"Sir! Why are we even trying?! They're the Wolves for god sake! I hear one of there members is on the top ranked in the EU!"
"An I thought it's our pride to fight to the end Duncan!" Shouted Ashton
"What ever you say boss" he coldly replied.
[The enemy position]
"Sir, team blue is under heavy fire from a Machine gun fire in the ruins on the left flank."
The leader smirk in excitement. "Don't worry about those useless buggers there just there as decoy. I let them think we're attacking them from the left.
"Sir, team red is on their flank."
"Everything is going exactly as plan." but Unknown the leader there was a green dot that was pointed on the back of his head. This was the Phantom mark of death.
In the distance on the sandy hills lies a Hunter waiting to strike on his prey. He was prone on the sandy floor of the abandon desert with his suppressed sniper rifle read to kill. He adjusted the scope's elevation and distance to get a glance on the target. Once he is sure with the adjustments he switch off the safety and pull back the blot.
*Click-Clack*
The first round leaves the magazine and goes into the chamber as Charlie expected,
"Hey Wolf leader it's been a while." Charlie itches his finger on the trigger and without hesitation, he fire.
*THOOOSH*
