My Gun Can Pierce Through Hunter Story Clichés!

‘The first law of classical magic dynamics: Magic is power.’

Han-wol repeated this internally as he activated the magic power throughout his entire body.

In that moment, a sensation like something hot flowing spread throughout his body.

A vibration like electricity running under the skin arose, and he felt an illusion of his muscles expanding.

It felt as if his body itself had become one giant magic circuit.

[You have intuitively realized the theoretical magic skill ‘F=eM’!]

[Using skill ‘F=eM’ to convert magic power into physical force.]

Suddenly, a new formula flashed in Han-wol’s mind like lightning.

This was not a simple enhancement skill.

It was converting magic power not into simple energy, but into ‘physical force.’

Thud!

Supporting himself with magic-enhanced feet on the ground.

With arms emanating a white haze, he lifted Kim Hyun-woo up.

“Kkugh!?”

It looked similar to picking up a cat by the scruff of its neck when scolding it.

Of course, what Han-wol was holding wasn’t a cute cat but a pig that had put on too much fat.

“Let go! L-let me go, I said!”

Kim Hyun-woo’s body swayed in mid-air.

He flailed his arms in panic, but it was of no use.

Had he ever been lifted so easily before?

“Ah, ah! It hurts! It hurts!”

Kim Hyun-woo’s hairy belly was exposed for all to see.

His dress shirt stretched to the point of tearing, severely compressing his armpits.

Finding this scene comical, some nearby NPCs and players glanced over, trying to hold back their laughter.

The Vigilante Corps members were also watching the situation but didn’t even think of intervening.

They just silently observed with folded arms.

“Let, let me go! No, please let me go!”

After holding him like that for about 5 seconds, Han-wol released him, allowing him to stand on his own two feet.

Kim Hyun-woo twisted his body, clutching his armpits as if in severe pain.

Looking at Kim Hyun-woo, Han-wol added:

“Well, since I’ve helped you up, I’ll be on my way. Take care.”

His voice was calm, but the mockery in his words couldn’t be hidden.

Kim Hyun-woo’s face turned bright red as he opened and closed his mouth.

He probably wanted to say something, but considering his recent humiliation, no words came out.

Han-wol continued walking with a slightly improved mood.

His steps were light.

After putting someone like Kim Hyun-woo in his place, he felt his frustration easing a bit.

‘Thanks to you, I got to do a good experiment. Thank you, Kim Hyun-woo. If I ever need a punching bag… no, a guinea pig, I’ll come find you.’

With his mood slightly improved, Han-wol checked his newly acquired skill.

[Skill: F=eM]

[Type: Theoretical Magic]

[Description: The first law of classical magic dynamics. Here, F represents force, and M represents magic power. e is the conversion constant connecting the two, carrying the meaning of efficiency.]

[Effect: Magic is power. Consumes magic power to convert it into physical force.]

Han-wol narrowed his eyes.

‘Exactly as I predicted.’

To be honest, it felt like an ability he already knew had just been added to the skill slot.

‘The important thing is that it’s been registered as a skill.’

Being classified as a skill meant systematic development was possible.

It meant he could improve its efficiency, adjust the conversion rate, and modify it to reduce magic power consumption.

“Maybe I can shorten the time considerably.”

“Sir! You’re here? It’s been a while.”

“Yes.”

When Han-wol stopped by the Vigilante Office, the Vigilante Corps members welcomed him warmly.

Confidence was evident on their faces.

They were no longer afraid like before.

It was because Han-wol, and the magic handguns, had given them the ‘strength to fight.’

“I’ve brought new stock. Please take care of these too.”

“Ah, of course.”

Han-wol opened his inventory and immediately took out the stock.

Hundreds of magic handguns poured out.

He created three piles of magic handguns in total.

“From left to right: Normal, Magic, and Rare.”

“But they look a bit different from before?”

“Of course. These aren’t 2-star weapons but 3-star.”

The Vigilante Corps members looked at each other and murmured.

Han-wol’s 2-star weapons were already powerful, so they couldn’t even imagine how much stronger 3-star weapons would be.

“First, replace all your weapons with 3-star Rare ones. Sell everything else.”

“Understood. How should we price them?”

“For now, sell them at twice the price of 2-star weapons. And from now on, I’ll gradually increase the price each time I supply stock.”

This way, he would find the point of maximum revenue and then fix the price.

“But with this amount, it seems like everything will sell out before noon.”

“Judging by today’s sales, that seems likely. I’ll make more next time.”

That was the plan anyway.

As he was about to leave, having finished his business, one of the Vigilante Corps members suddenly remembered something and reported:

“Ah, now that I think about it, just before you arrived, there was an outsider trying to monopolize our goods.”

“If you’re talking about that guy, I already vented on him, so it’s fine.”

“Y-you did? How did you know that…”

The Vigilante Corps member who heard Han-wol’s words sweated profusely.

“More importantly, you didn’t reveal my identity, right?”

“Of course not. Just as you said, boss, I didn’t say a word.”

“If similar people come again, never tell them. And don’t sell to such people at all.”

“Yes.”

Han-wol had a few more conversations and then really prepared to leave.

“Are you going to leave right away today without watching over us?”

“Yeah, I have some very urgent matters. I’ll stop by every day from now on, but like today, I’ll leave right after finishing my business. It’ll be like this for about a month, so please understand.”

“Oh no, we’re already thankful enough for everything you’ve done so far. Especially since you’re not receiving anything in return.”

“This situation is the return. I’m counting on you in the future too.”

Han-wol, as he always did, casually spoke some pleasant words to manage his likeability.

But it seemed extremely effective for the Vigilante Corps member in front of him, who respectfully saw Han-wol off.

“Yes! I’m counting on you too!”

[The Vigilante Corps member in front of you trusts you even more.]

[Current level of trust: At a chicken place, due to a mistake by the engineering student worker, only one chicken leg was fried. However, the Vigilante Corps member in front of you would give up his share and hand over his precious chicken leg to you.]

‘…What am I supposed to make of this.’

It was a truly incomprehensible metaphor, but he decided to interpret it as extremely high trust.

“Ah. I forgot to mention something.”

Han-wol turned around and spoke as he was about to exit the door.

“What is it, sir?”

“About replacing your weapons with 3-star Rare ones, you guys have to pay for them too.”

“……..”

“But at a 10% discount. Okay?”

“Ah, I understand…”

The Vigilante Corps member lowered his head, seemingly a bit disappointed.

But he quickly seemed to accept it.

After all, there was nowhere else to get such equipment at this price.

After confirming the expression of the Vigilante Corps member, Han-wol continued as if he had been planning this all along:

“But I’ll make even more amazing weapons for you later. Specially for you guys, different from what I sell.”

“R-really?!”

[The Vigilante Corps member in front of you trusts you even more.]

[Current level of trust: At a Chinese restaurant, while eating sweet and sour pork, you, who prefer sauce mixed in, casually poured the sauce over it. Despite being someone who prefers to dip, the Vigilante Corps member in front of you would eat it with you without even frowning.]

‘………’

This time, Han-wol gave up trying to understand.

Still, his troubled mind seemed to calm a bit.

Perhaps the status window, that existence beyond perception, knew the situation and was trying to comfort him.

PlayVen, the largest player community in South Korea, was currently in complete chaos.

Especially the beginner’s forum, where 1-3 star players mainly gathered, was in an uproar, with most posts being about Han-wol’s magic handguns.

[Title: Video of West Seoul Village Vigilante Corps eliminating Village Invasion Quest with Magic Handguns.]

-Wow lol look at the players standing there in shock lol

-Aren’t the Vigilante Corps supposed to be unable to handle it all and give quests to players? They’re taking care of everything themselves lol

-I was there… I thought about joining to hunt together, but I couldn’t even approach since I might die from getting shot. All I could do was watch blankly. Then after the situation ended, they suddenly started selling. So I bought one right there. If you’re Korean, use Magic Handguns^^

-LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLseriously hilarious.

[Title: 10 1-star players hunting in 2-star hunting grounds with Magic Handguns.]

-Wow, are those really 1-star? 10 of them are just sweeping through monsters?

-It’s because the weapon is seriously amazing. It even has reduced level requirement, so even though it’s a 2-star weapon, 1-star players can equip it. I also recently bought a Magic Handgun and threw away the one-handed sword I was using before. Hunting has become enjoyable these days.

-These are really amazing. After buying one, I, as a Taoist, can now solo. Before, I was constantly running away even in parties, but now I can attack too, which is great.

[Title: What is Theory Master? It appears in the description when I bought a Magic Handgun.]

-The creator? Or is it an occupation?

-An occupation? Was there such an occupation?

-Don’t know. First time I’ve heard of it too;

[Title: The creator of Magic Handguns should be torn apart and killed.]

-I’m a crafter doing blacksmithing, and Magic Handguns have truly ruined my life. I was barely making a living by selling weapons to beginners, but now no one buys my weapons. Everyone only buys Magic Handguns.

-LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLHang in there.

-You’re in a similar situation to me ㅠㅠ I’m someone who makes a living selling potions through brewing, but I can’t make good potions yet. Still, beginners often bought from me, but since Magic Handguns became popular, I’m just accumulating inventory… They say they don’t need potions since they don’t get hurt…

-Let’s go to the Han River together. The water is warm as flowers will bloom soon.

And Kim Hyun-woo, the technical development manager of Shinsan Engineering who was watching this commotion, was also fuming with anger.

“Damn it!”

Kim Hyun-woo slammed his keyboard in frustration.

After being refused at the Vigilante Office, he went back again, but this time they suddenly said they wouldn’t sell to him at all.

After another argument, he was driven out, and a few days later, checking PlayVen, he found this chaos.

“If this continues, it might affect our company too…”

Of course, there wasn’t much impact yet.

Even though PlayVen was the largest community, the internet was vast, and it hadn’t been featured in major media.

But what if 4-star, 5-star, or even higher-ranked Magic Handguns came out?

It was still a hypothesis, but what if this ‘Theory Master’ could make other weapons besides Magic Handguns?

No, what if he extended his reach to other items beyond weapons?

“Kugh…! I don’t even want to think about it!”

He had been eyeing the CEO position due to his achievements in pioneering the player weapon market.

But if things continued like this, all his efforts would be for naught, and his dream of taking over Shinsan Engineering would fly away.

Therefore, there was only one thing Kim Hyun-woo had to do.

“Theory Master…! I’ll find you no matter what!”

Kim Hyun-woo didn’t seem to realize that he had already met the Theory Master.
