Reincarnated as a Gun in Another World with a System!

“W-What’s this? I can’t move my legs... my arms... I CAN’T LITERALLY MOVE AT ALL!!?”

Hi, my name is Kuro Usagi. Whoever’s reading this, I just died and got myself reincarnated in another world. That answers your question about why I am panicking and want to move. You see, I got in an accident, and the truck rammed me over and… viola! Here I am. The memories of the past are still inside my brain. Pretty pathetic, huh? It is what it is, as they always say.

Hmm…. Long story short, I am a 42-year-old man who has lived his life as a teacher in an unheard and forgotten school in the province, peacefully without having any problems besides money and grabbing myself a girlfriend. The kids I had in that classroom were around six or five, which was the same as their age. Having ten students to teach was a miracle in my hometown. That meant I was good at dealing with children. The pay was okay, but the fact I was giving out lessons with these children was the most fun part! Not until… the children grew up and forgot about me.

Well, those are living in the past. Right now, I am reincarnated as… someone or something.

I am a Japanese, and the world I have lived in is free from war or strife from different countries. Excluding robbers and criminals, of course. That is why we have the United Internationals and the security guards patrolling the area! Or the UI! The United Nations is too overrated. Anyhow, you’ve heard that right. I am single and ready to mingle… Until I died mercilessly from an automobile.

But enough about that.

As soon as I open my eyes, the first thing that greets me is total darkness. After a while, a wind pulls me over. Fortunately, now I can see where I am and how I’ve gotten here. It also seems that fate has brought me here, for some reason, and I now have a system.

“I AM A WHAT NOW?”

A window appears before me. The bizarre screen tells me I am now a gun - a revolver - with unlimited bullets. It means I don’t have to worry about losing much ammo in the middle of the fight, making me OVERPOWERED AS HELL! But.... my fire rate is shit. And I also need to reload, so I have six bullets, also referred to as six cartridges. I need to wait for a full second every time someone wishes to pull my trigger and cast a shell at a target.

Where are my legs? Oh… Well, it would be weird if a gun had legs, a mouth, and a pair of eyes, even if this is a fantasy world now, would it? So I have to live the rest of my second life without any limbs except a trigger and bullets inside me.

Ah, by the way, I have also received my first quest. And the rewards that come with it are awesome!

[Quest: Find a host!]

[Reward: Earn the Elemental Bullet!]

[Quest: Reach level 2 and kill a monster!]

[Reward: Glock 18 - Semi-Automatic]

“K-K-K-Kill a what now? So you’re telling me that there is a monster lingering in this forest, and my host and I have to kill them?”

I have no idea how to react to those words written in the floating box. But it says here that I have to defeat any monster, and I would level up because of it. That’s the reward. Fortunately, there aren’t any beasts in the area. But I am imagining an arachnid insect, a wild boar, or a dragon could pop up at any minute now and try to eat my mechanical body!

Thankfully, those creatures only live in my imagination. Nothing in the like still has welcomed me in front of my eyes.

And… I almost forgot.

Woah, woah, woah. WOAH! Woah…. This can’t be happening. WHY AM I TOO CALM ABOUT THIS? Among all the powers in the world, my system has chosen me to become a FREAKING GUN! Not to mention, I could only be used if I have a host within me?! Or someone is using me? THEREFORE, I AM A USELESS.

NOOOOOOO!!!!

‘O-Okay, Kuro. Get a hold of yourself. Things will become smoother if someone gets me,’ I think. At least, that is what my system has told me.

So I waited. I’ve never moved from my spot since that is my kit and power. I am a gun, for god’s sake. The only time I could move around, or at least be useful, was by having a host... Or if someone could pick me up. I hope that person will be a kind one. The thought of someone who’s a psychopath brought a shiver down my spine… I could end the world right here and there in the hands of the wrong enemy.

Any minute now….

I can do this all day….

Surely someone will come…

How much time has passed by? An hour or two? I lost count after staring at a tree right in front of me. Even though I am in the middle of the road, I assume nobody has picked me up or has gone in this direction, since there is a lot of gravel on the ground.

AM I THAT WORTHLESS? TELL ME! HAS MY LUCK RUN OUT, AND I AM USELESS AT ALL?!

I feel like I am about to cry. I have nothing but time… So I continue waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting, and, AH-HA! FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO HAS A CARAVAN! I BET IT’S A MERCHANT. OR A HERO!

(It wasn’t)

The moment the vehicle stops, a shiny-looking carriage filled with jewels and other accessories greets my eyes. Two knights are wearing metallic plates and armour, riding the horses, and there are also people inside the wagon. But then the vehicle stops for a second.

“EY! ARE THEY STOPPING FOR ME!” I chirp, and want to jump around for joy. “YOOHOOO! I’M OVER HERE! CAN YOU HELP ME-....”

“......”

But a complete 180 degrees have happened. It turns out this royal caravan is getting chased by someone from behind. Within an instant, these two unlucky soldiers get hit by an arrow and instantly kill them. A pool of blood touches my body. I didn’t have a mouth, but I could already taste the metallic liquid forming on the soil.

“H-HOLY SHIT!.... Are they… dead?”

This was my first time witnessing a murder and dead people right before me. My parents died of old age, but I didn’t see them die. The morgue took care of everything. And so, the rest became history. I have lived in a peaceful world where killing is rare unless war occurs. There are conflicts from here and there, but they are mostly resolved through calm deals that benefit both parties.

But this… This is a different world. Of course, there might be a war happening for all I know. I’m not used to it. As soon as I spot these two deceased bodies at my fore, I really want to run away. But I can’t. I am stuck as a gun and have no limbs I could use.

I am a coward. But who could blame me for it?

Even though I am a revolver, I could still sense a lot of things. But I place my thoughts aside and focus on what is happening in front of me.

After a while, a single person shows up. It is about a girl in her teenage years. If I have to guess it right, this woman right here is a princess. I mean, look at her! The girl has blonde hair befitting for a noble. She wears a pink gown that catches anyone’s attention, earrings made of gold or white gold, and a platinum ring on her ring finger. This woman also has blue eyes, akin to the colour of the sky. Not to mention, my system also describes her as a member of royalty, even to the point of dubbing her the Queen of the Kingdom, which I do not know.

[Name]: {Chloe Winfort]

[Species]: {Human}

[Age]: {18-year-old}

[Class]: {Princess]

[Level 25]

[Abilities:]

- Elementalist - Chloe knows every element in the World of Kepler. However, her spells are only around F-Grade.

…….

HOLY SHIT! A PRINCESS! A REAL PRINCESS OR SOON-TO-BE A QUEEN?!

I have no idea how this world works, but that’s that.

Also, I need a host, fast, to complete my quest and GET MYSELF THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

“Psst! Psst! Chloe!” I mutter, but the princess seems oblivious to my voice.

Princess Chloe keeps looking back and forth behind her. When I snatch a glimpse at the far end of the woods, it appears overpowered adventurers are chasing her! I can’t tell if they are armed with weapons, but they launched their spells a while back in the hopes of killing this lady! I MUST STOP THEM! Or at least neutralised them with my powers. They are casting their spells in Princess Chloe’s direction. Thankfully, none of them hit her!

If I don’t do anything now, the princess would…..

“CHLOE! OVER HERE! LOOK AT ME! LOOK. AT. THE. GROUND!” I clamor, and finally catch her attention.

“E-Eh?”

The moment I roar, the princess lowers her head and meets my gaze… if I have eyes, that is. And that is when I strike up another conversation.

“USE ME! If you want to live, you need to use me! I’m a weapon! I can help you!”

I do not know yet if this princess is a woman with a heart or a ruthless person. BAH! Who cares? This is a girl, and she looks too young to be a murderer. In any case, I have placed my fate on this princess and hope for the best.

And I may have sounded suspicious, but I just… want to help.

“A-Are you sure? Are you sure you’re going to help me? I have nothing to give you in return!”

“I don’t need anything, princess! I just don’t want to see anyone dead anymore.”

Ironically as it is, even though I am a gun, I do not want to kill anyone as much as possible. So if this girl uses me, I’ll instruct her to aim for their limbs. That won’t take their life. Although, these people pursuing the princess might lose some blood if they don’t nurse their injuries. But we will cross that bridge eventually. Right now, prioritising Princess Chloe’s safety is what is important!

The moment Princess Chloe holds me in her hand is also the exact moment she becomes my host. And my quest is now complete.

[Quest Complete!: Find a host]
