Original subtitles

I'm ninety-nine percent sure that the talk about Death Gun is rumor at best.

Killing people in real life via the virtual world?

It's hard to believe that's possible.

That said, the remaining one percent was enough to bring me here.

Link start!

This is really different from ALO.

A world that revolves around killing, huh?

Now then...

Without a second thought, right now

Mayowazu ni ima

Take aim at this paradox-ridden world

Mujun darake no sekai wo

And fire with your own two hands

Sono te de uchi hanate

Thanks to the warmth of your falling tears

Koboreta namida no nukumori de

I thought that I'd realized what kindness was

Yasashisa wo shitta hazu nano ni

So why do we keep hurting each other

Doushite mata kizu tsuke atte

And create even more hatred?

Nikushimi wo umi dashite yukundarou

If this pain that grates on me

Kishimu you na itami

The strength that I've discovered

Shitta sono tsuyosa ga

Will someday gently envelop the future

Itsuka mirai wo yasashiku tsutsumu no nara

Without a second thought, right now

Mayowazu ni ima

Take aim at this paradox-ridden world

Mujun darake no sekai wo

And fire with your own two hands

Sono te de uchi hanate

Take this sorrow drenched with red tears

Akai namida de oowareta kanashimi wo

And embrace it tenderly

Sotto sotto daki shimete

So that these blasts ringing out

Nari hibiita shoudou ga

Will be transformed into the sounds of a new beginning

Hajimari no oto ni kawaru you ni

Wha...

What the hell?!

If only I looked a little more like a soldier.

That avatar's an F1300 model, isn't it?!

It's a rare one, all right.

People hardly ever get it.

Say, miss, I'll give you two Mega-Credits for it,

so why not sell me your account?

"Miss"?

Sorry, but I'm a guy.

W-Wait, so is that the M9000 model?!

In that case, I'll give you four... no, five Megas!

Sell it to me!

Please, I beg you!

Well...

This is a converted account, not a new one.

I can't really sell it for money.

Aw, shucks.

Sorry about that. Bye.

If you ever change your mind, be sure to let me know!

For starters, I'll have to get my name out there to grab Death Gun's attention.

Where you headed, missy?

I can't get enough of that look in your eyes!

That's strange.

I thought this would be a shortcut.

Um, excuse me!

Can you tell me where...

Shoot...

She's gonna think I'm hitting on her.

What is it?

Are you just starting out?

Well...

This is bad.

She definitely thinks I'm a girl.

Where are you going?

Um...

Well...

Yes, I just started.

I'm looking for a shop selling cheap weapons

and some place called the Government-General Building.

Okay.

I'll show you the way.

I feel bad for tricking her,

but it's better to keep her in the dark for now.

By the way, why are you going to the Government-General?

Well...

I'm going to enter the Bullet of Bullets event.

You're entering BoB?

B-But you started playing today, right?

Yes.

Well, uh...

Your stats might be a little too low.

This is a converted account, so I have stats from the other games I've played.

That makes sense.

Mind if I ask something?

What made you want to play a dull game like this that reeks of oil?

I've only played fantasy-themed games up until now,

so I thought it might be fun to play something cyberpunk for once.

I'm also a little bit interested in gun fights.

I see.

Well, you have guts, wanting to enter BoB on a whim like that.

All right, then let's head to a large market with a diverse selection.

It's close by.

Okay!

Th-There's a lot to look at here, huh?

Weapons in GGO can be loosely categorized as either laser guns or live-ammo firearms.

Laser guns are lightweight and have high accuracy,

but against protective field equipment, their firepower is halved.

For anti-personnel battles like those in BoB, live-ammo types are best.

R-Right.

Well then, what kind of stat build do you have?

Um...

Mainly strength,

with agility as a secondary stat, I guess.

A strength-agility build, huh?

In that case, I suppose you should go for an assault rifle that's on the heavier side

or a high-caliber machine gun as your main arm, with a handgun as a sub arm,

which would make you a mid-range combat type.

You did say you'd just converted your account, right?

So in terms of Credits...

Oh, l-let's see...

Um...

Looks like I have 1000 Credits.

Nothing but the starting amount, huh?

Given that, a small ray gun might be all you can afford.

For a live-ammo firearm, even a second-hand revolver might cost too much.

Say, if you don't mind,

how about I pitch in a bit?

N-No, I couldn't ask that of you!

I know. Are there any places where I can rack up funds quickly?

I wouldn't recommend them, but there are casinos and gambling games.

Look, there's one over there.

Hey, chicken, come on!

What's this?

It's a game where you enter from the front gate

and see how far you can get while dodging shots from the NPC gunman at the back.

If you manage to reach him,

you win all the money that everyone's been adding to the pool.

A-All of it?!

About 300,000, huh?

Th-That's a lot of money.

It's impossible, after all.

Once you get past the eight-meter line, the gunman starts firing ridiculously quickly.

Try your luck if you think you're good enough.

By the time the prediction lines appear, it'll be too late.

Prediction lines?

Look, someone's about to add to the pool.

Make it count today!

Run like the wind!

All right!

I'm gonna blast you from here to the moon.

Okay, today's the day I clear this game!

Yeah, you got this.

You bet I do.

What's he doing?

Were those the prediction lines?

Yes, they're defensive system assists called Bullet Lines.

Except for a sniper's first shot,

prediction lines, visible to targeted players, show the paths bullets take.

I'll kill you!

Piece of cake!

All right!

You loser!

Game over.

Guess it's just impossible.

See?

It might be doable if there was more room to the sides,

but you pretty much have to charge straight down the middle.

Try as you may, that's the farthest you can get.

Hmm, I see.

The prediction lines appear too late, huh?

Hey, wait...

Whoa there, a beginner's gonna try?

Oh? Ain't this sucker a looker?

I'm here anyway, so I guess I'll watch.

I'll kill you!

You loser!

That's...

Ten meters already?!

Who is she?

Die!

Go to hell!

Out of ammo already?!

No!

Hey, chicken, come on!

What just happened?

Just who is she?

How are your reflexes so good?

Near the end, you dodged lasers fired from only about two meters away, right in front of you.

I mean, at that range,

there should hardly be any time lag between the bullet prediction lines and actual shots.

Well...

The point of this bullet dodging game

is to test how well you can predict the bullet prediction lines, isn't it?

Predict the prediction lines?!

Why are these assault rifle things

so much bigger than submachine guns, when they have relatively low-caliber barrels?

How could you have such ridiculous evasion skills and not even know that much?

You said you converted your account, right?

What kinda game were you playing?

Uh, well...

It was just your run-of-the-mill fantasy genre affair.

Really? Well, all right.

If you're entering the BoB preliminaries,

I'll have a chance to see you in action anyway.

So, what was your question?

The reason why assault rifles are low-caliber?

Yes.

That all started with America's M16, which followed a design philosophy that emphasized

accuracy and penetration, using low-caliber, high-velocity rounds...

That wasn't the answer you were looking for, was it?

Now that you have 300,000 on hand, I think you'll be able to buy something fairly good.

In the end though, it all comes down to your preferences and tendencies.

Tendencies?

Um, what's this?

Oh, that's a lightsaber.

L-Lightsaber?

It's written as "sword of light" and read as "lightsaber".

Its official English name is "Photon Sword",

but people usually just call them laser blades or beam sabers.

There are swords in this world too?

Nobody actually uses them though.

Wh-Why not?

Well, you know...

You need to be at point-blank range to hit anything,

and by the time you manage to get that close, you'll be riddled with holes.

In other words, they work fine once you get close, right?

Sure, you're pretty amazing at dodging, but up against a fully automatic gun—

Welcome!

Thanks.

Thank you for your purchase!

Well, I guess everyone has their own combat style.

If something's on the market, I'm sure it has its merits in a fight.

This included.

She looks surprisingly capable with it.

You learned that from a fantasy world, huh?

Maybe it's not so bad after all.

Oh, that was nothing special.

The weight's a bit lacking though.

Well, I suppose we can settle with that for your main arm,

but it'd be good to have at least a submachine gun or a handgun on you too.

You'll need something to cover your approaches, after all.

That makes sense.

How much do you have left?

About 150,000.

Lightsabers sure are needlessly expensive.

With 150,000 left...

After subtracting what you'll need for ammo and armor, I guess you're stuck with a handgun.

Considering your budget...

I'll leave the decision to you.

You'll be entering BoB, so we should get a live-ammo firearm.

Since you need it for cover, I'd say accuracy's more important than firepower.

It'll cost you the rest of your funds, but this would be a good choice.

An FN Five-seven.

Five-seven?

That refers to the caliber.

It uses 5.7 mm bullets,

so they're small compared to the usual 9 mm Parabellums,

but their shape is similar to rifle rounds,

so they have greater accuracy and penetration.

Hey, are you listening?

U-Uh, yes!

I'll take that then.

What else should I be picking up?

Let's see...

A holster, spare magazines,

and armor should be good.

I'd recommend getting a protective field too.

Also...

Yes?

You've never fired a gun before, have you?

Well, no.

Want to give it a shot?

If you buy a gun at the store, you're free to test it out here.

Do you know how to shoot it?

I think so.

It's surprisingly light.

A lot of its parts are made of polymer, after all.

It doesn't have a lot of recoil,

but it'd be best to shoot with both hands first.

Keep your left eye open too.

You should be able to see a circle in front of you right now.

The one that's getting bigger and smaller?

That's the offensive system assist—

the Bullet Circle.

Bullets land randomly within that circle.

How do I fire more accurately?

The easiest way is to get closer to your target.

Any other ways?

Try to calm yourself.

The circle's size corresponds to your heart rate, after all.

This is pretty hard.

Huh?

I missed.

Did you really think it'd be that easy?

You really helped me out a lot.

Thank you very much.

There aren't many other female players, so I don't mind.

Besides, I didn't have anything planned for before the preliminaries.

You're entering BoB too?

Yeah.

I'm about to go register.

Oh, no!

Only ten minutes left!

I'm sorry.

It's all because of me...

It's my fault for not paying attention.

At any rate, let's hurry.

U-Um, are there things like teleporters we can use?

No.

In GGO, the only teleport is respawning at a spawn point.

And a player's HP can't ever drop in towns, so we can't take advantage of that.

The Government-General's over there.

Still three kilometers away.

It'll take five minutes to register,

so we need to get there in three.

Please...

Please make it in time.

That's it.

All right.

Hold on tight!

How...?

These buggies are so difficult to handle,

there's practically no one who can actually drive them!

W-Well...

I've played racing games in the past, too.

You okay?

Wow!

This feels great!

Hey, go faster.

Speed up some more!

Okay!

I wished so hard to become stronger than ever

Motto tsuyoku sou tsuyoku naritai to negatta

Overcoming my grief

Kanashimi wo koete

I've turned my back so many times

Kawaru koto nai kako ni

On the past that will never change

Nando mo se wo muketeta

While hiding the scars I can never show anyone

Dare ni mo miserare nai kizu wo kakushita mama zutto

I will embrace all this pain that has started flooding through me

Afure dashita kono itami wa subete hitori de daki shimeru

I don't need warmth at all

Itsuka kieru nukumori nara

If it will vanish one day

Hitotsu mo iranai yo

I wished so hard to become stronger than ever

Motto tsuyoku sou tsuyoku naritai to negatta

Like a lonely star racing across the darkness

Kurayami wo kakeru kodoku na hoshi no you ni

Sunk so deep inside my heart, I'm so weak and fragile

Kokoro fukaku shizumeta yowakute moroi jibun

I can't put it into words, or even speak out

Kotoba ni dekinakute koe ni mo naranakute

I'm just waiting for the light

Kitto dare ni mo mitsukara nai you ni

Trying not to be found by anyone

Tada hikari wo matteru
