Japanese Web Novel
After retiring early from his job as a game developer, Nagai Kyuji descends into the world of ‘Next Stage Online’ under the name ‘Kyuji.’
But while he wanted to be in the advance guard, his reflexes were not what they used to be. Unable to dodge attacks, he was forced to give up.
It was once he settled as an archer that a sudden idea came to him.
‘In the wide open world of a VRMMO, wouldn’t you be unstoppable if you chipped away at someone’s health from a position where they couldn’t retaliate?’
This is the leisurely adventure journal of a man who went on to prove this theory, and to enjoy this second life while mastering long-range attacks.
???~???~
Archer vs TerrorStorm ??
???~???~
[Machine Body is also easy to understand. Its physical attacks become stronger.]
So is it “increase damage dealt” or “decrease damage taken”?
???~???~
What’s with all these out of place drags? Lmao

Garbow…. really?
???~???~
This is probably one of the easiest games to play ?? barely any power but kills in few hits, skill acquistion – easy mode, feels unbalnced as heck lmao
Yuu ???
But the reason why he’s the only one would probably be because no one else can aim lol
???~???~
Lol just lol. His range was pretty useless in this battle wasn’t it?
???~???~
Remind me. Does he have a skill called Rapid Fire?
???~???~
Wow…. Everything in this chapter seemed very convenient. Author-san got lazy? Lol
???~???~
Double post to ch 73?
Root
This thing has electric resist for sure. Unless author is pulling one of their classic switcheroos and makes it uneventful.
Thanks for the chapter!
???~???~
Unless he gets some sort of skill that scales using range……. its just a meh stat
???~???~
If he got +50 Range instead of Speed and said it was amazing………….. bruhhh
???~???~
Yeah… this old dude doesn’t know about hate and aggro? Wow
???~???~
Seems over the top…. but i like the upgrade
Tacos
Wait a minute. I’d forgotten but you’re telling me that he fought a powerful boss wearing spare armor instead of his regular armor?
Root
As a true gamer would!
Tacos
Well that’s just weird. The monkey can shoot eyebeams. Will there be an evolved version with super strength and flight like Superman?
Ortho Maleq
Cyclops got isekaid into a vr tarsier
Tacos
This has turned into a Pokemon battle. Feraligator vs. Infernape.
Tacos
Well that was a bit surprising. Usually if a monster has a specific element then it usually either has great resistance to it or maybe even absorbs it to regain health. I didn’t expect the fire baboon to burn to death.
Tacos
I guess somebody in management really favors poop throwing…
Also does he not have a chest piece for his windcloud armor set? All I see is head armor, arm armor and leg armor for this set. It seems weird for an armor set to not have a chest piece too.

Lastly, there was gear for my arms. Cloudbore Archery Gloves had evolved into Cloudbore Archery Gloves G!
It was clear that there was a difference between evolution and strengthening.
However, the change in numbers wasn’t as good as an evolution.
With evolution, my combined stats were raised by 60, but the strengthening plan only raised it by 45.
However, they distributed well and felt more balanced.
SO, is it evolution or strengthening? because the sentence contradicting itself
Tacos
It’s strengthening. Anyways how I understood the sentence was that if it had been evolved then his total stats would have been increased by 60 points over whatever it’s original stats were while this strengthening only increased it by 45. So if for example the gloves combined base stats equaled 100 then if it got evolved then it’s combined base stats would now be 160 while if strengthened then the stats would be 145.

He obtained the true immobile sniping stance. here’s to hoping he can actually put to use his initial image of sniping from so far away that his opponents can’t get to him before they die.
I wonder if black smog stream is affected by his range stat. That’s some high level harassment right there.
thanks for the chapters
Tacos
So who’ll be their 4th member? Currently the Ghost Guild only has 3 members and Satomi’s Unison won’t count as a member while Kyuji’s is counted in a special 5th slot. That still leaves them one slot open. I can only think that either that one lady with the flail that Kyuji partnered with on the ghost float will join as their 4th member of maybe Necoco’s aunt will temporarily join. A completely new person could join but that seems less likely.
Tacos
What they’ll do for the preliminaries that starts with a ‘B’ and ends with an ‘E’? No not a ‘Battle Royale’. Clearly they mean ‘Ballroom Dance’ >.>

Too bad he can’t get a nuke or something for that killstreak.

oh no, the auntie is here
Tacos
Ha! They almost didn’t place. That’s what those cocky bastards deserve. Just because they’re actual pro gamers doesn’t mean they can fight in a chaotic battle royale against amateurs who can either gang up on them or do completely unexpected things that they can’t react to in time.
Anon
“Huh!? We’re 6th place!?”
“I’m pretty sure that it was announced… You must have been really concentrated!”
“Ah, uh… I guess!”
The shocking truth was revealed to me by Anne after we returned to the mysterious space.
from that conversation, we can assume that once there’s only 64 parties left it will be announced. You know it could be their strategy to lose as soon as they got in to not reveal too much of their hand for the important match.
Tacos
The slime guys again? I bet the one they already met is actually part of CORE.
Anon
Hah, got my prediction correct. VRHAR intentionally lose after getting in the bracket

Welp. I bet Hatake probably didn’t read the effect’s description all the way through so he didn’t know the skill can randomly hit friend or foe.
Tsuki
I doubt he doesn’t know just that it doesn’t matter as long as he isn’t targeted, if he kills all the others 7 players he would be the only remaining which would give his party the victory.

“You could turn down the gore in this game, but there was nothing you could do when it came to arachnophobia”
Some newer games actually do come with a spider slider now lol
Raidanzoup
“30 seconds just seemed like a flash during everyday life, but it was an eternity during combat.”
That’s five whole rounds of DnD combat!
Raidanzoup
“There was no license required to call yourself a professional gamer, but you needed the right skills in order to be stable on the job.”
AFAIK, Japan did actually implement some sort of Pro Gamer License as a means to let people earn money through tournament prizes. And it’s funny that he points out how it’s odd the teams are split ino-shika-chou in this Western High Fantasy setting (with energy guns?), but he’s wearing haori, hakama, and tabi lol
Raidanzoup
I thought Hatake was a bit sus, but it was literally just awkward bravado.
Raidanzoup
Considering teleportation skills were disabled during the event, I’m guessing the devs watched the footage of him soloing the dragon while using it to help him with him platforming. Speaking of footage, I thought there would be more reactions to the first two events from the playerbase since there was talk of the company releasing the replays?
I thought he’d be featured in highlight reels like Maple, but he’s just having his mugshot shared around lol (which would suck if people mobbed him or if they game supported PKing, but the author might not wanna focus on that kind of stuff).
Raidanzoup
Power-inker simulator, let’s go?!

“According to Petta, having a special item allowed you to switch to a special class, but not many would happen to have such an item.”
Well, he just got his hands on a special arrow.
runsing
what? what happened to the middle 54 chapter? such a massive jump.
Tacos
Uh these two chapters are from the wrong series.
Raidanzoup
I knew Gar was bundle of references to Char Aznable (the Red Comet), but I forgot how the author specified that it was a red and black armored machine. A red machine with black accents that’s 3x faster than other units, the Red Meteor Gar. It even has its own fin funnel equivalent with the fish crossbow swimming around.
Speaking of references, I forgot to comment that “Turnaround Trial” is Gyakuten Saiban, the JP title for the Phoenix Wright series.
Raidanzoup
“I’m glad this isn’t a competition where you fight over medals.”
The medal claiming event in Bofuri was pretty good.
Raidanzoup
Always a bit surprised when hate isn’t translated to aggro in MMORPG talk
Raidanzoup
Not quite how imagined he’d class up. I was expecting something like a stellar archer or a zodiac archer back when he got the star arrow.
Raidanzoup
It’s it really a PvP flaw if she’s an event boss NPC controlled by a guest AI wielding skills and equipment no sane developer would ever hand out to the players of the game?
Raidanzoup
Can’t believe we’ve only had eight of these message board chapters. They’re usually a highlight for me in these vrmmo stories.
Raidanzoup
I think I’m warming up to her pretty quickly. It helps that the author used her to introduce the concept of VR Newtypes (Virtualians).
Raidanzoup
Rather than a large + sign on the plate, it’s probably the kanji for 10.

VRHAR/Valhalla/Nord/Einherjar-#1… I’m appalled.

Zwei and Drei aren’t very Northern Germanic, old man.

Rotating to the godspot from the get go.

For how infamous Mad Slime are supposed to be for being a pro(?) team that’s known to troll or grief players, no one seems to care about them in NSO. Kyuji doesn’t even know them enough to say “hey, stop that” lmao
Raidanzoup
Oh right, the author repeatedly had Charin mention the hidden trials without telling us how many there were, but then we just fast-forwarded through the extended event anyway.
Anyway, did I miss if they’re only doing one single battle royale where the top 64 parties move on based on performance, or if they’re doing 64 simultaneous battle royales where each winning team takes their kill-death score to the bracket seeding process?
Raidanzoup
So they have to survive and rack up kills until the cut-off. That’s straightforward enough. It’d suck to be on VRHAR’s side of the bracket after surviving by ratting.
Raidanzoup
Welcome to MacocoTV!
Raidanzoup
I can only imagine they sandbagged on purpose to minimize screentime (unless there’s no downtime between events and time to review the footage). They probably spent the least amount of effort to qualify and are going to play harder the further into the bracket they go.
Raidanzoup
VRHAR is an effective villain considering how annoyed I get reading about them lol
That feeling went away after the return of the slimers, though. The core slimers this time.
Raidanzoup
Okay, Core is likable. For some reason I thought Nord was the rough spoken guy from the early chapters since Zwei mentioned joining newbie parties to bully them, but it turn out the guy who feigned concern was actually Core. I wonder what he’ll use the nice, but useless, info for.
Raidanzoup
Pikach– I mean Gok– I mean Gochu finally arrives to save the day.
Raidanzoup
If she’s the gelatin and he’s the core, then that’s already a slime. What would the other two members even be able to add to that making scheme?
Raidanzoup
I wish the author could inform us of stuff without resorting to every single team divulging their secrets to each other on live broadcast. Next up we’ll have Kyuji yell “oh, that’s right, I still haven’t used my 500m range stink gas that shoots in a straight line from either or both of my hands when I activate my skill!”
Raidanzoup
Not only did those Mario pipes not amount to anything, he even ended up showing off even more skills. His true secret trump card really is going to be the virtual poop smell, isn’t it.
Raidanzoup
Letting the natural boke run wild without a tsukkomi. I guess that’s what they’ve been saying Petta has dealing with this whole time.
Raidanzoup
I thought he’d do something tricky like forcefully alter the trajectory of the arrows, drawing them towards him like a repeat of Death Flag, because he’s on the extreme end of the Tanker spectrum, and that type is all about forcefully pulling and holding aggro as well as tanking hits. But nah, he fat rolled up the castle.
