11 Battle Royale... Because it's still a thing

(A/N Notes: Oh no... It even reached this story)

It was morning and Riku was having a bowl of cereal for breakfast as he read the changelog of Adventurer's Journey from his phone

"Huh? *crunch crunch* So starting today after the maintenance there'll be a battle royal event... Yeah, it has been quite some time since I PK-ed someone, and I can even get a bunch of exp during this event"

And he then went to look at his phone's agenda and today's date was basically filled with mundane stuff he did every day

"Alright! I have too much free time as always! Nice!"

And after finishing his breakfast, he did all his daily stuff and went to play after lunch

*Logs in* "Alright, before going into the event let's see who's online... Oh! The Girly is online, let's call her"

//Hello, uncle

"Hey there, smart girl. Wanna do some PKing in the battle royale event?"

//Sure! I'm in dire need of exp and skill points

"Oh, too bad for you"

//Aren't you also in need of that?

"I am, I'm just better off than you certainly"

//... You exploited that dungeon quest boss bug, didn't you?"

"Yup, I did. And I regret nothing"

//I thought so... Just give me a sec, and I'll tp to you

"Okey dokey!"

After a little while, Lady Luck teleported to him

"So how lucky are you today?"

"And how many times are you going to repeat this boring joke?"

"Always"

She joined his party, and they went to participate in the event

[Level and stats are locked at lv. 50, bonus exp to skills while in the event, all unlocked skills are available, all owned weapons are available to use, can take one looted item with you in case of victory royale and a bucket of buffalo wings]

[You can feel that there is something hidden in the area]

[Event start]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Luck and a bunch of other players screamed as the ground got closer by the second, with most of them already releasing their parachutes, with the most notable exceptions being Red and a few other players who only increased their diving speed

"... Wait, I have a bow"

Red spun in the air, took out his bow, and pointed it at a player who was higher than him, and released one of his arrow with the explosive talisman with a precision charged shot

*Hit mark* *Explosion*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

That player was downed and lost his parachute

"... *Evil grin*"

And with that, he began shooting as many arrows as he could at anyone unfortunate enough to be in his field of view until he was exactly 30cm from touching the ground

*Activates parachute* *Safely lands* "Physics"

*Call Lady Luck* "Hey! Where are you?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" *Splat*

She hit the ground and was downed, and he quickly revived her, but before that, he changed his mask for his sunglasses

"Hey, we have a city to burn"

"Really!? That's the first thing you do and say after you revive me!? A freaking Cyberpunk reference!?"

"Tch! That's why you don't have friends"

"Hey!"

"Now let's go hunt some players"

*Some random player landing near them*

"OOOOOOOHHHH!!!" *Takes out his ax and hatchet*

"Huh? AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

He charged towards that player and killed him with his ax and hatchet. And Luck had to keep following him as he hunted for preys

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Leave some for me!"

"Then hurry up, slowpace! First killed, first served! XABLAU!" *Shots an explosive arrow at a random player*

And as he chased after players, in the middle of a city, suddenly a door opened, making him stop and go inside, there was a chest, he kicked, it didn't move, and when he opened it...

*Copyright friendly Zeldo obtained item SFX*

[Red Null obtained Radio(Rarity: Extra)]

"... What is this?"

[Radio

A tool that allows the user to hear any music or radio station he so desires without leaving the game

Can be obtained from the Salesman (Fri-Sun)

Rarity: Extra]

"..."

He began searching for music for him to listen to in his killing spree

"Ah! Found a classic one!"

(YT: Ginga force OST - Zenith [Chapter 10])

*Starts dancing*

"Hey! I found a guy here!"

"Meta is temporary, but the style... Is eternal"

"Huh? Wha-" *Gets frozen by a hatchet throw at him*

Red proceeded to combo the player with his war scythe and finalize with a rock pillar, sending the guy flying

*Toby meguery black-spidar dance*

"Why is he dancing?"

"Dunno"

An arrow with a piece of paper tied to it landed near them... And then it exploded, followed by Red swing down his ax and hatchet at both players

"Kukukukukueheheheheheheahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

"... Why did I even come with him?"

Red then continued killing and pillaging any player he found, until the remaining players decided to do a quick ceasefire to kill him

At plains part of the battle royale map

Red was sitting on top of a rock covering his face with his cowboy hat and his arm pulling the hat down

"Aah... So you guys finally came, I knew something was weird now that I wasn't finding anyone else, so you all decided to give me a chance to kill you all in one fell swoop"

"The only one getting killed here now is you!"

"Wanna try? Because this moment deserves a good bgm"

(YT: Bismarck Final Boss Battle BGM Extended | Azur Lane OST Scherzo of Iron and Blood B3/D3 Map)

Red put a song of a game that the author recently started playing, then he jumped backward and high, as he spun, then he aimed his own at the player right in the middle of the crowd

"Special move... Triple explosion death shot"

He shot three arrows, one hit the player, while the other two hit the ground, then a moment later they exploded, with the player who was shot receiving enough damage to the killed, while the other players who weren't near the explosions tried to hit Red, but only hitting the rock instead

[Talisman reached lv.10, do you want to upgrade it? (Yes/No)]

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!"

[Talisman was upgraded to Talisman Controller]

[You obtained Talisman control]

[Talisman control: Allow the user to freely control his talisman or items containing his talisman in the air from activation time to target locking]

Red got up on the rock again and raise his fist just like Mercury

Red pulled out all his talismans and arrows with talisman tied to them, and he. Had. A. Lot. Of. Them. And made them flying in circles right behind him... Then he jumped in the air with a pose as if he was praising the sun

"Talis-... No... ZA WORLDO!!!"

And he mass released all of his talismans, that only contained explosion magic on them, at the players, and there were so many explosions that the FPS was quickly dropping

"And to finalize! EXPROOOOOOOOOOOOOOSIOOOOOON STRIKE!!!"

And he released the special move of explosion magic, a series of massive explosions that also dropped the FPS even further, surely killing anyone who was unlucky enough to survive the talisman carnage

[Victory Royale: Red Null, Lady Luck

MVP: Red Null (69 kills)] (A/N Notes: Nice!)

"Nice!"

And he took the Radio and a bucket of buffalo wings with him, while Luck had only managed to get two or three skills leveled up

(A/N Notes: So how many references can you guys find?

This is all for today everyone!)
