Chapter 79 – Mana gun – Research.
{{Note from author.}}
{{I realized I was quiet stupid and didn't realized this obvious mistake. So, I'm going to just say and laugh at me if you want.}}
{{The ranking system of titles have been changed from E/D/C/B/A/S to common/uncommon/rare/epic/unique/Legendary.}}
{{There was straight up no need to do the letter ranking.}}
{{Sorry for my extremely stupid mistake that had not realized that.}}
{{From now new chapters will have this new ranking instead.}}
After having that talk with the dwarf I instantly went around the market and tried to look for any mana bow or mana crossbows. I wanted to buy some in order to study them and maybe use that knowledge from them in order to create the mana gun.
I know, I know.
It's way better idea to ask the dwarf for assistance. He may posses a lot of key informations and knowledge that could help me out. Especially the information regarding the mana bow and mana crossbow. I could use those two items for the research of the mana gun.
HOWEVER! This is a test that dwarf gave me. He wants to see what can I do without having any big restriction or anything like that.
I cannot relay too much on the dwarf with this and if would to do that, it may end up hindering the final score from the quest and this is something I don't want at all! I want to. The possible reward from this quest could be extremely big and I need the highest score possible.
Anyway, I decided to only relay on myself I possible…. But then I ran into annoying problem.
Nobody was selling mana bows or mana crossbows here.
There goes my plan straight out of the window…. SHIT.
(…I guess I have to do everything from the scratch, huh?) – though Phantasia while reading the notes in his house.
(Well, I do have the notes regarding the incident how and why exactly it happened… I should be able to recreate the incident somewhat.)
(But the problems will definitely come after that, since I have to somehow weaponize that effect.)
And so, I began trying and recreate the incident where the magic power was shout out by accident.)
And so, I began experimenting, trying to recreate the incident where the energy blast went flying from the prototype Unliving Heart.
It took quiet few tries, but after ending up taking some more risker approach, I ended up obtaining the results I wanted.
The device I created was able to fire those rampaging beams of energy.
But unfortunately, there are several problems.
The first problem was the energy was unstable and not very strong. I accidently shot the wall while making it, but the wall sustained barely any damage.
Yea…. I mean that was completely random shot in random direction, but the power output is straight up laughable…... This will definitely take time.
I managed to assemble the prototype mana gun into a form of pistole.
The first prototype…. Em…... It did shot the magic wave…. But it straight up did no damage at all. Like nothing.
Not only that, the energy itself was completely unstable and was changing directions when fired and sometimes the energy would straight disperse when flying. There was also the range of the pistole not being really that far.
(Damn… I encounter a large problem from get go, huh?) – though Phantasia while holding the mana gun in his hand.
"I know how to make it fire those magic shots, but I don't know how to stabilize them… Shit."
(Should I try and increase the power output?)

"…."
"No… It won't solve it and instead it may end up casing the gun to explode. I first have to find a way to stabilize it."
"…."
(Should I do something about the gun barrel?)
(Guns usually have a spiral inside that gives the gun a spin as well as makes sure that they goes in straight line as well as other stuff. I looked up information about the guns on the interested.)
(But would that work with the mana gun?)
(I mean, I will be firing an energy blast instead of actual bullets. I can try and everything…. But should I instead and try and understand how to make a magic ammunition just how mana bows and mana crossbows do?)
(But I have zero knowledge regarding that ammunition creation stuff…... Dammit.)
(The best course of action would be to find a way to stabilize the magic shot as well as find out how can I increase its power.)
"Dammit…. The dwarf knowledge would have been perfect for this…... Should I just fuck it and make something different instead? He said that he won't mind not making the mana gun at all."
"…."
(But it's also a perfect opportunity to show off…. The dwarf himself never made mana gun before and he also knows that I never made anything like that.)
(If I manage to make properly working one, it could impress the dwarf by a lot.)
"…."
"Fuck it."
"I'm still doing it for now."
(There is no time limit what so ever, so I can take my time researching and stuff.)
(But it would be idea not to waste too much time.)
(However, what should I do exactly.)
"…."
Phantasia took out the prototype mana gun blueberry that he created before and put it on the table.
"…So… What should I do?"
(Power is one thing, but if I don't do anything about that range and disability, the gun will be worthless. I need to deal with all 3 problems.)
(Should I try to change the gun from for example to the rifle?)
(I don't really need to stick with handgun model until I start trying to make real one and I may end up changing the end model from handgun to a different form of gun.)
"But again. Stability and power."
"I need to do something with the gun barrel as well as try and somewhat increase the power output."
"I may need to try out making the different parts of the gun with different materials."
"This will cost a lot of money, but it will also take a lot of time…. Well, lets hope it will be worth."
And so, the real start of the mana gun starts.
Honestly, the research was quite interesting…. And I mean like a lot.
I did failed over and over again for days, but I was getting more and more results.
I won't really talk or explain each and every day and night of the research, since all I was doing was the research and hunting, over and over again each day.
But instead, I will only talk about most important details and discoveries I made.
For my first objective was to do something with that unstable energy. Even if I make the gun barrel somewhat able to make the energy go in straight line, the unstable wild energy will just a bit in straight line before curving, stopping or just straight up dispersing.
Before I do anything about the gun barrel and power output, I need to do something about the energy going unstable and going wild.
The mana gun that I had created had something I called [MGG] (Magic Gun Gear).
Simple put, this thing is behind firing the energy. It uses the energy and then fires it.
But alas, so far most of my attempts resulted in unstable shots. I even had accidents where the guns straight up blowed up.
Finding the problem was…. EXTREMLY ANNOYING.
But, after so many FUKING trial and errors, I managed to stabilize it. And I don't want to talk exactly how many times I screwed up big time, okay?
However, it's not over yet since I have to do something regarding the magic shot as the whole, but fortunately I have obtained gist of what to do.
While trying to deal with the unstable, I discovered something interesting?
By giving MGG specific form and modification, the nature of the magic shot changes.
After fixing the instability I was able to adjust the form the magic shot… Well, it did requite some changes to whole MGG in whole, since there would be new instability.
But I managed to fix them up.
The next part was about the power and the energy the weapon would posses since it would be directly linked to MGG.
Honestly, at first, I tried adding just mana gems and mana stones, but that really didn't do the trick.
So, I changed up the things and created a magazine.
Well to be put more precisely I used the mana stones and mana gems alongside the alchemy to create a magazine that I call [MGM] (Magic gun magazine). This bad boy did the trick, but it wasn't all.
I used necrotic crystals I had obtained from the monsters before and what would you know? IT WORKED!
I changed the attribute of the magic shots from normal to necrotic element.
This is huge discovery!
With this I can make the gun have more specific damage type and stuff.
And the last but not least, the gun barrel.
The gun barrel part may have seemed simple, but as it turned out I can influence the magic bullet in someways with the barrel and the gun muzzle.
Simply put, if I add that spiral form inside the gun barrel, the magic shot will gain some piercing effect, but if I add a straight gun barrel and make a little dents on four sides from insides, giving it an X shape, I can increase the gun range. And this is not all. There was a lot of things I could do with the gun barrel and that resulted me discovering that the gun barrel of the mana gun is the third most important part of the mana gun…... Well, the gun barrel of the regular gun is also extremely important and everything, but with the mana gun barrel you can do some weird and interesting shit that could affect the magic shot performance in different ways. I also got to test if different of materials would affect the magic shot performance and stuff, for example: Is there an ideal material that should be used for making gun barrel?
Honestly, this was an interesting discovery and it will take some time to research it more. I only messed around a bit with gun barrels but I had already saw few different and interesting results and I can definitely say that the gun barrels of the mana guns will be special.
Not only that, but besides the MGG, MGM and the barrel, there are other parts that made the rest of the gun. They are less important then those 3, but still, they are extremely important… Well, pretty much all guns needs to have a different parts besides the trigger, firing mechanism, ammunition and barrel, so that was quite obvious.
However, lets stop talking about and focus on the reality right in front of me.
MGG, MGM and the barrel.
I have finally understanded and know how to fuking produce them!
And finally, with all the three main parts of the gun now finished means that it's time to finally try and create the first ever mana gun!
I instantly got to the work and created everything from the scratch and before long, the mana gun was completed.

[Handy Mana Gun]
[Rarity: Common]
[Attack: 100-150]
[Ammunition: 1 shot – Cost per attack: 100 MP – Recharge after each shot.]
"Hm…."
"Nice." – said Phantasia while looking at his gun."
"Its not really strong or anything like that and it needs time to recharge before it can fire another shot. Pretty much this gun sucks and can only be useful for beginners."
"But… I MADE IT BITCHES!"
[You are the first ever player to create special type of weapon called [MANA GUN].]
[You have obtained title: Mana Gun Crafter] – [Epic]
[Increase attack power of the gun type weapons you using directly by 3%.]
"!"
"Oh? A title? This is a nice bonus!"
"Wait…. THE FUCK IS THIS EFFECT?! 3% increase in weapon attack?!"
(This is quite busted if I say so myself.)
(There are titles that can directly affect the weapons attack power? I though only classes could do something like that…. Jezus.)
(Its only attack increase and only 10%.... But this is still a lot.)
(I wasn't expecting to obtain something like THAT! This is quiet crazy…... Well, it's only 10% right now so the increase won't be that big, but the higher my level would be and the stronger items I would use, that 10% increase would be way more visible as more time would went by.)
(Wait…. GUN?! Not mana gun?! Does that mean this title works with regular guns as well?! Jezus!)
(Okay…. Fuck it. I'm changing from crossbow to guns.)
"But unfortunately, I'm not finished yet." – said Phantasia while smiling.
(This gun is only the first ever properly functioning mana gun I had made and that was the goal. To not create the most powerful mana gun from get go, but instead create an mana gun that can be first used.)
(And now that I have this guy, I will use him as an true base of my research and start developing my skills in terms of handling those guys while also understanding more and more about them.)
(It will take time again, since if I want to do any big modification or straight up change the base concept or purpose, it will take time, but now I posses the basic necessary knowledge to research and develop those things! Meaning that this is the real start of my research regarding "Mana Guns".)
"I spend fuking days, even weeks in this world. But it was all worth it!"
(Honestly, I don't think it wouldn't have been possible without the Unliving Heart research, I guess I got extremely luck by obtaining them since its all thanks to them that I knew about that energy discharges accidents.)
(I guess the luck was on my side without me knowing it.)
"Either way, I like this this development."
"And soon the dwarf will also like what I made."
"I will make sure that his jaw will drop."
(And I will also use this research for my own goal in the near future!)
