As I wake up, I find myself on top of a rooftop, with multiple weapons strapped to me.
On my back I have a Mosin Nagant M91/30 PU Sniper with a hunter scope and a mag of 7.62 Russian rounds. I take out the mag and see a white void that is absorbing the mana around me. The rifle has a straight pull bolt for firing efficiency.
On my hip is a standard 45 Colt. On my lower back hanging off my belt is my Chained Crow.
Now that I''ve checked my weapons I head towards the edge of the rooftop and take a look at my surroundings.
All round me is the ruins of a once grand city of Skyscrapers, surrounding the city is an ocean of Crimson water.
Rivers of Crimson float up to the sky and coalesce into a crimson Sun that puts everything under a cruel red glow.
I look to the horizon and see a city of Skyscrapers but the rooftops are pointing towards me and it is also surrounded by a crimson sea.
As I look in all cardinal directions I see that it''s the same on each side. I look past the red Sun and see the same. It''s as if we are inside a cube of Crimson water.
.....
Ya know I thought it''d be worst.... is that bad?
*Boom*
Hearing an explosion I look towards my East and see a mage with a sledgehammer and a mage with a knife throwing fireballs at Each other and wasting their mana and drawing attention to themselves.
Dumbasses.
Grabbing my Mosin I scope in and see them to be about 200 meters away. Luckily for me the standard range of 500 meters while the Mosin sniper has an effective range of 800.
Like fish in a barrel.
Granted the only guns I''ve ever shot where either in games or paintball and airsoft guns. Luckily enough I know how to turn off the safety and reload and pull back the bolt on a rifle. Best thing is is that it''s a mana fed gun so I''m fine.
As I aim at the hammer bro I see a guy with a sword sneaking up behind him and stab him in the back.
I aim about 2 notches above the aiming reticle and pull the trigger and see his head expload like a watermelon.
I send out a pulse of the Force to make sure I''m safe and sure enough I sense a person sneaking up the stairs behind me.
Drawing my colt I aim towards the stairs and see a Male kitsune walk out.
He has black hair and a black tail and is holding a bow that he has drawn and pointing towards me.
Kitsune:"Got you fool."
Dorian:"Omae wa ma Shinderu."
Kitsune:"Nani!?!" He says as I pull the trigger and watch his brains splatter into the stairway.
Putting the colt back In it''s holster, i scope back on the previous battle and see the knife mage still hiding behind the car, having not run for cover. Dude is fucking stupid.
I pull the trigger and keep my Force sense up.
....
......
For the next what felt like 2 hours I racked up 13 kills including the three from before. Taking this chance to look at my notifications, I see some improvements were made.
Small arms combat has leveled up to apprentice status.
Rifle combat has risen to Novice lvl 25.
Your Force Sense has risen two levels. Effective range raised to 30 meters.
You have leveled up.
Wait how did I get this experience, I''m not ACTUALLY killing people. Is it cause this still counts as life experience.
Your intelligence and wisdom have increased by 2.
I''ll take that as a yes.
Making sure to keep my Force sense up I check my newly upgraded stats after I put the five extra into vitality so I''m not quite so squishee.

Impressed by my progress, I turn my attention back to my 800meter killzone.
Looking through my scope, I see a head of read hair on the tenth floor of a ruined office building.
I zoom my scope in and see it''s Lilith and the rest of the gang are behind her excluding Dag. He is either hiding and scouting the way, or he died.
Should I group with my friends? I mean Renagoth said we''d have to fight in the end anyway.
Plus it''s not like I''m actually killing my girlfriend and best friends. Minus Julian of course. He''s an acquaintance.
Plus it''d be quick and instant. A physical confrontation wouldn''t be so painless.
Sighting and aiming my scope I look at my girlfriend once more...
Fuck my life dude.*Bang*
I''m deafened by the sound of my rifle and horrified at the sight of Lilith''s head popping.
Everyone dives for cover, Julian and Thia both behind a plaster wall with holes where I can see Julian trying to peek through while Beatrice hides in an office cubicle.
I''d have to personally take out Beatrice due to her nature as a slime.
Looking through my scope once more I see Julian looking for me.
I pull the trigger and see his head fly apart while Thia and Beatrice hide further behind cover.
I channel the Force and aim towards where I last saw Thia head and aim for where her head would probably be.
*Bang*My ears deafen once more as I see another friend die by my hand.
I''m gonna have nightmares from this I just know it.
Out of the corner of my eye I see movement and combat roll out of the way.
I look back to my previous position and see a throwing knife embedded where my head was.
I look towards my right and see Dagothur just out of range of my Force Sense.
As we lock eyes he rushes towards my faster that my eye can keep up.
I activate hypercognition and drop my rifle to draw my colt and aim towards Dag as he slows to a normal running speed.
He jumps from his rooftop to mine as I pull out the colt and aim.
My body, unable to keep up with my mind feels too sluggish and Dag is two feet away as I try to adjust.
Knowing I''ll miss, i channel the Force and fire the bullet so it turns towards his leg and slows him down as he swings his sword towards my head and I duck underneath.
While he is still mid swing i aim towards with his head with my colt and fire.
I watch another friend die by my hand and I have to remind myself they aren''t actually dead.
Feeling sick I turn towards, and pick up my rifle, deactivating hypercognition. I look through the scope back towards where I killed the others and see Beatrice staring out the window.
Knowing I wouldnt be able to kill her with bullets I reinforce my body fully and jump off my 80 story high tower.
Time to see if I could survive a fall of this height with reinforcement.
As I drop towards the ground I see a bunch of students gathered at the entrance preparing to attack and go in.
Laughing to myself I gather lightning all around myself and charge up my lightning reinforcement and channeling.
Hearing the lightning a few students look up to see me just as I drop on top of one person and then a blinding flash occurs as the electricity I built up releases and explodes outwards as if I''m Cole McGrath.
All reinforcement and channeling powers have risen by 5 levels.
Seeing no survivors out of that group or 18 or so people I walk towards the building I killed my friends in.
20 minutes later I''m in front of it and Beatrice came down the stairs.
Beatrice:"I- I''m not s-scared of you Dorian. I- I''ll fight you."
Dorian:"You are scared Beatrice, but the fact that you want to fight me head on means you are also brave. So my respects." I say as I how my head towards her.
Beatrice:"T- Thank you Dorian." She says with a determined look in her eye, telling me she''s ready to fight.
Dorian:"I''ll try to make it fast so there isn''t too much pain." I say with a grimace.
This entire period has been fucked to hell.
Renagoth was right, I get mindfucked.
I charge towards Beatrice with fire and lightning surrounding me and she expands to try and cover me.
