Chapter 73 : Breaker
Chapter 73: Breaker
Moreover, it wasn’t even a useful firearm like an assault rifle or submachine gun, but what appeared to be a revolver pistol.
With a size overwhelmingly larger than an ordinary revolver pistol and beautiful golden lines drawn on a black base, its appearance was indeed graceful befitting a Legendary weapon, but.
‘Who the hell would use something like that!’
As Jeong Nayeon thought, that Legendary weapon didn’t seem very useful in ‘Reverse Planet.’
Because all Awakeners in ‘Reverse Planet’ had an invisible protective shield called a particle barrier.
To harm an Awakener with firearms, you first needed to break the particle barrier, and there was no way a mere revolver pistol could do that.
Considering the opponent dodging too, even emptying an entire magazine from an assault rifle would be barely enough, so with a revolver pistol that held six rounds at most, it was impossible no matter how you thought about it.
“…What do you mean it’s not a revolver?”
Meanwhile, Jeong Nayeon, who picked up a passing chat, tilted her head.
Even she, who wasn’t as knowledgeable about firearm types as a military maniac, knew that Legendary weapon was called a revolver pistol.
It was because revolvers had appeared and been active in so many media including movies, comics, and games regardless of type. Enough to easily memorize the name.
Of course, looking at the appearance alone, the viewer’s chat wasn’t incomprehensible either.
From the start, its size itself was much larger than an ordinary revolver pistol, and just looking at the barrel, it was nearly twice as thick.
But even so, just like a slightly different appearance doesn’t completely change the essence, a revolver pistol should still be a revolver pistol.

[Surprisingly true; that’s called Breaker, a revolver-like weapon only in RePla]
“Breaker…?”
“Ah, I see.”
-Ah, that’s right? lol
-Of all things, Breaker lol
-Novelty weapon entrance lol
-Legendary weapon as Breaker? I’d quit the game immediately lol
Even after hearing the name, Jeong Nayeon still had a puzzled expression, and only Cha Seongcheol, who had abundant foundational knowledge from working as a commentator, nodded.
This was a contrast showing what the Breaker weapon’s standing was like. Meaning it was a niche weapon that only commentators would recognize by name.
Moreover, it was also revealed that one viewer even said they’d immediately quit the game the moment Breaker appeared as a Legendary weapon—showing how poor its treatment was.
Normally when people put something down this much, those saying “Come on, it’s not that bad!” would pop up in resistance, but even that didn’t happen.
“Can you explain what kind of weapon it is?”
“Simply put, the Breaker is a powerful weapon with a revolver’s form and a shotgun’s power.”
“Then isn’t that good? Why this reaction?”
“Because… what I just mentioned is purely the setting provided by ‘Reverse Planet.'”
“Ah.”
-The setting was good
-A revolver as powerful as a shotgun? Can’t resist this~ <- Everyone who tried died
-There’s a reason it’s not used, for real lol
-Because it brings the disadvantages too
“In reality, it’s treated as just a novelty weapon. At best it’s a secondary weapon, and even that’s only used for executions for teabagging.”
The reason for the Breaker’s poor evaluation was simple.
Everything has two sides, front and back, and the Breaker weapon was the same.
Looking only at the front, it seemed like a good weapon capturing both the coolness of a revolver’s form and the destructive power of a shotgun’s force, but looking at the back, it was absolutely not.
The revolver’s form meant a low ammo capacity, and having a shotgun’s power meant strong recoil that would make you stagger after firing one shot.
It wasn’t for nothing that those who looked only at the superficial style and tried somehow to use it all gave up before long.
-Would rather use other firearms than Breaker
-Why even use guns anyway? lol Just spam abilities
-For real lol Guns are only for security guards
-Firearms are service termination before particle barriers
“…No! But we still don’t know yet!”
-Reality denial ON!
-I don’t know anything
-Why are you the only one who doesn’t know what everyone knows
-Desperate shielding
Since it meant they’d drawn a dud, Jeong Nayeon, who had shown an awkward reaction, soon shook her head and shouted.
“Hackphysical handles even bizarre weapons like chain scythes well, right? Maybe he’ll use the Breaker well too!”
“I also agree with Nayeon-nim’s thinking. Surprisingly, Hackphysical and the Breaker might match well.”
“Huh- why’s that?”
“Because I think the Breaker’s biggest weakness, strong recoil, can be sufficiently ignored with Hackphysical’s build. Ammo capacity? Just hit everything.”
-Is that so?
-It’s… persuasive!
-What’s with hitting everything lol
-Anyway Hackphysical can do it~
When Cha Seongcheol sneakily joined in agreement, viewers seemed tempted.
If it were someone else, they’d absolutely say it won’t work and not to dream, but Baek Woohyun had shown so many achievements that they thought ‘maybe?’
Like the chain scythe, hadn’t he just shown handling explosives skillfully against a Master tier mine build user in ‘Duel’?
The fact that it hadn’t been revealed how excellent Baek Woohyun’s marksmanship was couldn’t be a problem.
If he couldn’t handle firearms, he would have tried to find and use close combat weapons somehow when farming instead of picking up guns.
Anyway, since he had some confidence, he would have calmly equipped firearms and prepared to fight.

[A college student suspiciously good with guns and bombs… hmm…]
“Now now! Even ordinary college students can shoot guns well, detonate bombs well, and use weapons well! Don’t be suspicious!”
-? That’s an ordinary college student?
-Suspiciously suspicious
-The bar for college students these days is high
-Almost said that’s a terrorist~
As opinions split between “maybe Baek Woohyun will be different” and “even so, isn’t the Breaker too much,” around that time.
-“……”
Baek Woohyun picked up the Legendary grade Breaker Annihilation without hesitation and calmly loaded bullets.
Fortunately, among the bullets he’d picked up while farming firearms, there were also special rounds the Breaker could use. Otherwise, he would have had to go farm for bullets again.
Fortunately, the special rounds were more plentiful than expected, so it seemed unnecessary to search around. Besides, only six rounds fit in one magazine anyway.
Click.
Having handled various weapons on ‘that side,’ Baek Woohyun naturally had experience using the Breaker too.
The Etinels employed by the research facility had used various weapons, and one of them was the Breaker, so he’d obtained and used it when eliminating Etinels.
That’s why his action of loading bullets and then aiming to recall the feeling was very natural.
“-!”
With an expression that it wasn’t bad, Baek Woohyun, who was about to move toward the next room, soon stopped firmly.
He stared at the door with the doorknob through his inverted eyes in black and white. As if trying to check beyond the closed door.
Then, frowning slightly, he attached something to the door and retreated to the side. The moment the studio wondered about his action.
Kwaang-!
-“What?!”
-“Ah!”
The C-4 explosive attached to the door exploded with a roar.
The door was blown apart and sent flying from the explosion, and not just the surrounding walls but even part of the ceiling collapsed, with thick smoke blocking the view.
It was before the explosion’s aftermath even subsided that Baek Woohyun, his snow-white pupils gleaming, plunged into the smoke.
Bang!
-“Fuck?! I got hi-“
Bang!
[◇ Baek Woohyun –[Eliminated]–> (Anonymous)]
Following the gunshot as heavy as the explosion, someone’s cursing could be heard.
Since the shooter Baek Woohyun wouldn’t have done that, it meant there were others beyond the door. Probably the reason he detonated the explosive.
Considering cries like “There he is!” or “Get him! Get him!”, they could be guessed to be stream snipers who came teaming to target Baek Woohyun.
However, Baek Woohyun didn’t care at all who the opponents were. Anyway, in ‘Survival,’ everyone except himself was the enemy.
If they were targets to kill, rather than making tedious background checks, he preferred quickly putting a bullet between their brows.
He pulled Annihilation’s trigger in silence while throwing grenades he unpinned with his bare hand.
Bang! Boom! Kwaang!
-“Uwaaah!”
-“What, the gun- gack!”
-“Heal! Wait, heal me!”

“It seems like there’s fighting.”
“Can’t see to confirm though.”
-Smoke stop!
-Kill log shows he’s winning
-Suddenly it’s guess the battle situation with eyes closed quiz lol
-Corner within corner, what is this lol
Gunshots and explosions rang out consecutively, followed by cries close to death throes.
However, because of the thickly rising smoke, vision wasn’t secured at all, so it was difficult to figure out the situation in the studio.
They could only vaguely know Baek Woohyun was fighting because Annihilation’s gunshots he pulled didn’t stop.
[◇ Baek Woohyun –[Eliminated]–> (Anonymous)]
“Oh, got another one.”
“That’s already the seventh!”
-Anyway the fact he’s winning is hilarious lol
-But what does it mean it’s not ending even killing that many
-Well, stream snipers came teaming
-Came and got ambushed in reverse and swept away lol
Of course, just because they couldn’t see didn’t mean Cha Seongcheol, Jeong Nayeon, or the viewers showed worry.
From the start, they were people who knew Baek Woohyun’s strength better than anyone, plus the kill logs continuously appearing since earlier substituted for victory reports.
After gunshots and explosions rang out, notifications that someone died at Baek Woohyun’s hands unfailingly appeared, so how could they worry?
-“Wind! Don’t we have wind attribute abilities?! Quickly clear the smoke first!”
-“Damn, this is my ultimate. [Raging Storm]!”
Right after one of the attackers shouted urgently, responding as if in agreement, someone raised intense wind to sweep away the smoke blocking vision.
In the place where vision was secured, Baek Woohyun was calmly reloading his Breaker, and seven corpses turned into mannequins were scattered about.
Already seven people dead in just a brief moment of not being visible! Naturally, the faces of the three surviving attackers were colored with confusion.
-“Uh uh-“
Was it because they were too confused?
The attackers just stood staring blankly without even thinking to rush the reloading Baek Woohyun.
However, they shouldn’t have done that. Whether counterattacking or choosing to flee, they should have somehow used this moment.
Even if they had done so, whether they could have succeeded was another matter—
Click.
—But at least they would have avoided the situation of just three being thrown before Baek Woohyun who finished reloading.
-“……”
Baek Woohyun looked at the still-surviving attackers with snow-white gleaming eyes.
The attackers who received his gaze unconsciously shrank before the eyes of a true ‘killer’ that felt no emotion whatsoever.
There was killing intent that ordinary people who’d only experienced battlefields in virtual reality games couldn’t even imagine.
-“Ah.”
When Baek Woohyun aimed Annihilation, the attackers who finally realized they were completely exposed tried to move hurriedly.
Their misfortune was simply that Baek Woohyun’s finger pulling the trigger was faster than them doing anything.
Actually, strictly speaking, from the moment they stood still overwhelmed, it was already an unfavorable situation difficult to overturn.
Bang-!
