After their date ended, Max stopped the livestream and returned to their apartnt. Lily had a sudden idea of a new song and decided to stay in the living room to compose.
As for him, he had gotten slightly bored from staying out for a while. And he also felt itching for an action.
'Guess I should do an online ga. It has been a while.'
Max logged into the VR world and appeared inside his personal space. Sitting under the large tree, he browsed for any interesting or new gas he could play.
"Let's see. Is there a ga about guns? I feel nostalgic with guns and everything. Maybe I should play battle royale right now? That's a good ga for releasing stress, though."
Max was indecisive. He didn't know what to play. However, he felt that he wanted to go crazy against many people at once. He played so battle royale gas in his past life as well as playing the defensive battle royale, Roach Planet.
'Well, let's go with the battle royale one. I like fighting with swords, but I want to play with an old-school gun. Roach Planet makes feel like holding a gun.'
Battle royale ga was popular. There were plenty of genres, starting from the standard survival ga with guns, swords, magic, etc., to the futuristic one that involved hoverboard, jetpack, and other cool stuff.
"Let's try this one, Gun-Battlers."
He decided to play a classic battle royale ga with guns. The ga he chose was one of the popular gas that had many players in the early stage of its release.
"Alright, there are 10 characters to choose from, each with its own specialty equipnt. One can heal, one can disappear, huh? Reminding of a certain PC ga from the past."
The ten characters available in this ga were unique.
One could heal others with a syringe.
One could buff his speed with a drink.
One could poison his enemy by throwing a vial.
And many more.
After watching its ga preview, Max bought and downloaded it to his VR system.
"The character design is good. This is going to be a lot of fun." He opened the ga and looked at his character options, "Hmm, so we can do solo and squad mode. The solo mode has 60 players at once, and the squad mode has 20 teams composed of 4 players at once. Okay. Let's go with solo mode first. But before that..."
He needed to set his livestream.
Humming happily, he began streaming with the title:
[Let the massacre begin! Boom Boom Pow! #Gun-Battlers #BattleRoyale #Number1]
When he read it again, he thought it was good enough and started the stream imdiately. His loyal viewers gathered after a few seconds and welcod him.
— Damn, 2 streams in a day
— Heya, Breeze!
— Ah, this one!
— Oh, you're playing another ga?
— Isn't that Gun-Battlers?
— Breeze? Are you serious? You're going to play a battle royale?
Max chuckled at the sight of the chat. He always had fun chatting with his viewers. And now that he was streaming gas again, the chat was full of them.
"Hello, everyone." He greeted, "Yes. Don't stream snipe , okay? I will find and target you if you do."
A theatrical laugh followed after his statent.
"Just kidding. Of course, I won't do that. I will stream normally. But if you decide to join my stream, then prepare yourself. You better start moving around or run when I enter your area."
The chat began to storm again.
— This is going to be fun
— Heh, we can use this stream to test our skills
— I want to play now!
— Breeze! I am in!
— Battle royale eh? This is going to be fun.
"Alright, everyone. Are you ready?"
He started the ga.
Blue light covered his body and he entered the ga Lobby. Due to the ga nature, the Lobby looked as if he were in a space station. He could see people in different suits, chatting with each other while waiting to enter the battle.
"Whoa, there are many players here."
He looked around. In a glance, he could see over 100 people, including him.
— It's a famous ga, so it's normal there are a lot of people here.
"Is it?"
— Yes. It's one of the best battle royale ga right now
— In the e-sport scene, Gun-Battlers also has a lot of active players
"Okay, then. Let's just join a ga."
The ga he joined was Solo with 60 players. He joined just before the tir ended.
"What?! I got a matchmaking imdiately?"
That was unexpected.
He was supposed to wait for a while before the next match began. He had no choice but to join imdiately.
"Wow, this ga is really famous, huh." He said with a light sigh, "Alright, then. Let's do a little test and see how I fare in this ga."
[Match start!]
[3... 2... 1... Start!]
The announcent echoed inside his ears. The mont it ended, he was suddenly transported into a dark space. A window appeared in front of him with a ding.
[Choose your character.]
Ten icons floated in the air. They were characters that could be chosen as your avatar in the ga. Each one had its own unique ability.
"Let's see..."
He scanned them and decided to choose the male character with red hair. His na was Luke, and his ability was to slow down ti for 2 seconds. Even if it was ntioned that the ability was to slow down ti, it was actually making the character move faster for 2 seconds.
It was a unique ability.
"He looks like a badass. Let's try him."
He tapped the icon and the character was applied to his body. He was wearing a red shirt with a leather jacket, blue jeans, and red boots. The design was similar to a punk-rocker or a biker.
Once he chose it, his body was covered in light and he was transford into the character.
— Luke, huh? Can't say that I am surprised
— He chose sothing normal this ti.
— I expected him using Goro or Mintaru
Goro and Mintaru were characters with pretty unique abilities. They were hard to use and required high skill. And since Max didn't have a lot of experience playing this ga, he chose the most basic character that could be easily controlled.
As he talked with his viewers, the countdown began. It showed 10 on the screen and slowly counted down.
"Alright, then. Let's see."
After the tir reached 0, the black space vanished and a scene of the vast grassland appeared. A city with destroyed buildings was far away, surrounded by wasteland with dust rising to the sky.
The sky was dark and dirty, and the atmosphere felt gritty.
"Woah. This is the battle arena? This is huge."
The size was twice bigger than Roach Planet. And the map looked so realistic and alive. He could see so birds flying in the sky while a herd of cows eating grass not too far from where he landed.
He couldn't believe it was a ga.
— Whoa, the map is wasteland
— Damn, this is nice. The wasteland this ti is really well made
— From the minimap shown, it seems there are plenty of hiding places. It will be hard for Breeze.
'I only started with a knife, huh? The weapons will be in boxes hidden on the map. I will need to find them and use them.'
He thought as he opened the map through a device on his waist and looked around.
"Let's see. I need to get my gun first. Let's just run."
With a light jog, he ran through the grassland.
