A sniper with light blue hair. The slender frame of the girl formed a strange harmony with the gigantic fifty caliber rifle. I could not see her face as she laid in the prone position with her back to me. However, it must be as imposing as a lynx, adorned with beautiful features. Her concentration was worthy of praise, aiming below without the slightest quiver, her right eye pressed against the scope and her index finger touching the trigger. I would love to continue gazing upon her from behind for a little more, but I had little time left too. Leaving my concealed shelter, I began walking across the ruined building’s floor. Cautiously avoiding the pebbles, wood chips, and metal scraps, those small objects scattered about my feet, I drew near the girl’s back in perfect silence. The girl’s back abruptly jerked. Did she sense something that made neither noise nor vibration? That intuition was marvelous, but unfortunately, it was too late. My extended right arm twisted around her slender neck as my left hand pinned her head down from the back. They constricted her with quiet yet clear intent. The «Army Combative» skill showed its results; the girl’s visible life–her HP bar– began falling rapidly. The sniper squirmed desperately, but in this VRMMO game, «Gun Gale Online», it was near impossible to escape from a successful rear choke, while barehanded without a significant difference in STR. That was no different from the real world, however.
