《All Time Marksman 》Chapter 21: Volcanic Minion is second to my favorites
Advertisement
The day passed and Jin took shelter to one of the abandoned places near the road. Jin woke up when the sun has risen up he checked his inventory and sold all of the unnecessary things that he has grabbed from all the looting he has done.
``Damn my body aches that much I should try to find some painkillers `` Jin stood up and sling his XDR-rifle to his right shoulder and walked out of the ruined house that he had taken shelter. As he was traveling there was a different feeling that bothers him. he already felt it when he just got out from the shelter place that he has taken a rest.
Jin then whispered "Zero Eye Blue Bullet" after whispering that word Jin left eye turned into a crosshair and the whole place turned into a three-dimensional world but only Jin can see it in that kind of way.
All of the buildings were able to be seen through and Jin was able to have a view of 360 degrees from where he standing. And after activating that skill Jin saw 4 ghouls that are hiding behind the roof of one of the houses and a volcanic minion that is at the end of the corner waiting for a human to pass by an ambush.
Jin raised up his rifle and then aimed it at the first hose which has 2 ghouls that are waiting for an opening. But for Jin, he won't give an opening, after raising his XDR-rifle
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Rapid Fire]
and Jin pulled the trigger of his XDR-rifle and the XDR-rifle fired. The Bullet pierces through the roof and directly hits the 2 ghouls behind the roof. After being pierced by the bullet they fall from the roof to the ground. But they did not die they stood up back again shaking their head and runs towards the direction where Jin fired. With that, it only alerted all of the monsters in the area.
Meanwhile, the other two ghouls that are on the other house peaked to see if Jin has many allies with him. And when they saw that Jin was alone they then rushed in the direction of Jin. Like a hungry beast's monster.
"I guess I am entering a new game here!" Jin reloaded his magazine and it was followed with

While aiming at the two near ghouls that are rushing towards him. And then he pressed the trigger.
The beam of light with electricity was fired. And the recoil was stronger enough Jin was moved a bit back. The beam of light directly hit the first ghoul and it turned into ashes. And when it comes to another beam of light Jin aligned a bit his rifle to the right and then it fired once again he was moved back a bit.
And it fired *Pheww* the burst of fire turned the ghoul into ashes. And because it was a one-hit strike Jin was thought that the ghouls were around level 9 and below. And when he saw the two ghouls that he shot first, he saw that they were bleeding in a green slime substance come out from their pierced through flesh. "Dang that is gross"
[magazine bullet: 30/60]
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: RapidFire]
Jin aimed and then whispering "Deep breath" with that the XDR-rifle turned pink aura and but the first skill Rapid fire was still on registered skill. Deep breath skill is only a skill to buff his accuracy. Jin pulled the trigger *Prrfft* *Prrftt* and with that spray fire, Jin was able to headshot the two ghouls.
[Current ghouls killed 25/30]
And with that luck the volcanic minion that was hiding in the corner appeared. But there was also another one a Volcanic Golem. A volcanic Golem is a 14 ft monster with a high defense. Its level is 21 and the volcanic minion is around level 14 which is the same level as Jin.
``Shi- this is getting worse. How can I fight that monster…`` as Jin was about to lose hope he then felt a hand on his shoulder. And when he turned his head to his left he saw Tan Shan with armor and sword with some good friends. Luckily Tan Shan was in level 20
"So how are you doing brother Jin?" Jin was surprised and did not know what to say. He was really stunned, "So I guess my guess was correct. Alright, group squad F we are going to attack that monster and reclaim our position in the player corp." Tan Shan raised his sword and aimed at the head of the volcanic minion.
"Yue, support Fa and me to take the aggro of the volcanic golem. Huiling and Li attack the Volcanic minion Hong you Support them, Peng, you to help which team is going to get a rotation am I clear?" and all of them nodded followed to that Tan Shan shouted "Charge!"

Jin was stunned standing there as he saw Tan Shan and his group fighting a huge volcanic Golem with a high defense. "Whoa amazing and they are wearing white uniforms so they are part of those military huh" Jin whispered as he looked at his rifle. Wu Pen who was beside him said
"so you know our group squad leader huh?" and Jin nodded and then Wupen reached out his hand saying. "I am Wu Peng you can call me Peng" with a smile. Jin then grabs his hand and shakes it. "Name is Jin" after introducing. A rotation came up so Peng needs to help the team where Wen Huiling and Su Li were.
Jin then was tempted to join so he raised his XDR-rifle and aimed at the volcanic minion and then the XDR-rifle aura change to orange [Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Ray Gun Burst] at the end of the barrel there was a materializing force that is an orb. Because of the power being generated Jin was being backed a bit and then he clicked the trigger and fired the XDR-rifle.
It then directly hit the volcanic minion and the volcanic minion's left face and left shoulder was destroyed. Wen Huiling and Su Li were all surprised by what they just saw it was really unexpected. The volcanic minion felt a punch that made him kneel in one leg. Jin sigh with relief as he made a good shot. The volcanic minion health is down to 30% as they continued to fight.
Su Li and Wen Heiling then nodded at each other to continue to attack the volcanic minion. Su Ling used his Water Spear to knock the incoming punch coming from the volcanic minion. While Su Li used Iron Slash to cut off the hand that was going to punch.
And in support of the two is Wu Peng that used his skill [claw blades] to deal enough damage to reduce the 40%. Now it was down to 20% Jin know how to kill the volcanic minion so he aimed his XDR-rifle once again, the XDR-rifle emitting aura is orange.
[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Dual Burst]
And as Jin aimed the XDR-rifle the force that is being generated at the end of the XDR-rifle barrel was getting stronger and stronger.
He was slowly being pushed back by the power of it. After a bit, Jin pressed the trigger of the XDR-rifle. *Phewww* the impact was clean as it made a hole in the volcanic minion body. It directly hit the center of the volcanic minion body which made the volcanic minion felt weak for a time being.
And it made a huge hole, but Jin was not satisfied with that result so after that Jin aimed again and he clicked the trigger and fired a shot once more, and with the last shot of the dual burst make the end of the volcanic minion. After the last shot of the dual burst, it was an explosion as the main source of the power of the volcanic minion exploded inside. There was debris flying but luckily all of the teammates were at a safe distance.
"What the- how can this happen" Su Li whispered as she was about to stand up and look at the situation. "A measly marksman player able to do that kind of damage is really scary," Wen Huiling said as she reached her hand to Su Li who was on the ground covered in dust and dirt.
Jin made a soft sigh after the volcanic minion exploded in smithereens. "That was a heck of a fight it was not that bad for them to take all the hit" Jin silently said as he slings his XDR-rifle to the side. But as he was about to sling it he saw that Tan Shan was having a hard time killing the Volcanic Golem. So he rushed towards to Tan Shan location.
Tan Shan was surprised that the battle with the volcanic minion ended well. But there was still a sign of untrust between Su Li, Wen Huiling because they both did not expect that Jin was a great player and they have doubts that Jin may be part of the Marksman Guild which the rebel cell of the Players Guild that fights with the Military.
"I really have a bad feeling about taking that man in our squad Huiling" Su Li whispered to Huiling ear. "Shh-" Wen Huiling replied.
[Current Volcanic minion killed: 1/3]

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
