Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes

Johnathan Reed had just finished celebrating his 18 birthday, when like any self-respecting novel protagonist, died to the hands of Truck-Kun. He laments in his last moments the fact he never made it past 24 hours of adulthood, and should have looked before crossing the road. Next thing he knows he's in a old medieval style house. After successfully running away from the house, and whatever problems might come from meeting people, he's in the middle of nowhere until he hears the classic *Ding* any gamer would be familiar with. The Art Is Not Mine. If you are the owner of the art and want it down. let me know and I'll oblige. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --Do I have you interested? please do let me know of any feedback you have, as again, this is solely for my own enjoyment and to improve my literary skills. I'm the only person proofreading this, and the grammar is probably killing you, so just bear with me, because English was never my best subject Also my jokes could be unfunny, let me know. Also I will do my best for compelling characters, but again first time writing. so stuff like romance might flop and be underwhelming for people and is probably gonna be a side bit, not the main focus and later on.

Throwing Credits Around

After leaving the couple to make out again, he then starts snooping around to find where the money is kept. This incident right here isn't just going to go under the rug, so he needs to power up faster, and for that, he needs credits, a lot of them. There were a few skills Johnathan was looking for, and he also needed to finish making his guns. He decided that he would actually make 2, with their names being Dragon's Sigh and Vampire's Kiss. This was because of the type of bullets they would shoot. One being metal infused with the elements, while the other would be his hardened blood.

He enters Andrews room and starts and starts putting everything that looks valuable into his dimensional storage. He then finds a sac full of platinum coins sitting on the counter, he picks them up, and he then hears a notification.

[The user has found 34 Platinum coins, would you like to exchange them for 34000 Credits?]

"Yes, exchange them."

The coins in the pouch suddenly disappear, and he then drops the pouch and keeps looking. After scouring the whole house. Johnathan had found a few more goodies. Such as a total of 65 more platinum coins, three Mithril swords, and in total, 1 cubic meter of Adamantite ore. He also took all the books inside the study.

After filling out his stat tree, Johnathan then starts walking around town, looking for a blacksmith's he can use, after a few minutes, he finds one. After paying the blacksmith some money, he leaves the workshop, and Johnathan get's to work. Johnathan had picked to use the Mithril and Adamantite, not only because they were his only metals on hand, but because they worked pretty well. Mithril was extremely resistant to magic damage, making it perfect for armor. So in this case, it would be resistant to the magic explosions he would use to fire bullets. As for Adamantite, it was the heaviest metal around, making it perfect for the extra recoil his explosions would pack. Being in a world full of magic, Johnathan can simply make some magic circles to keep his gun cleaned. As for how it would shoot? He would pull the trigger, which would do basically the same thing as a regular gun, but this time the firing pin would add Mana to the bullet. He would use Chlorophyte, it was more durable than Orichalcum, and conducted Mana well, so it would work. for As for bullet production, he would just use his blood and a metal called Druynite, it was a pretty common metal, but it could store Mana extremely well, however after one use, it would never work again. These traits worked together perfectly for his guns. He then starts melting the Mithril swords, while he buys casts for his gun parts from the system.

7 Hours later Johnathan emerges from the forge.
