Summary:

One-shot, one kill. These words are associated with trained snipers all over the world.

In reality, I am one of them and the training I had since childhood made me who I am as a sniper when I first tried to shoot a safe gun designed for target shooting for people all ages at the age of 6.

The interesting game, Infinite Dendrogram? I am one too there, they don't even know my face because of that mask I wore.

Unlike the 'inferior' quality snipers in that game who failed to take down a moving target when I observed them with my scope at that time, I showed them, including the Infinite Dendrogram community, what a real one with real-life training, in the words of gamers, a pro, can do.

Seriously though, at one time in my Infinite Dendrogram life around the time I started playing, there's this group who asked me such a question of why I am able to grasp it and what's the secret.

I teasingly gave them a reply: "Family tradition dating back to the American Revolutionary War, all thanks to my ancestor who recreated and kept the written accounts that'll later become known as sniping today. Now, now, everything's classified if you ask what kind of training I've been through including real life."

Volume 1 - Childhood

Side Story: A Month Before AISC Foundation Week – Oplan Thanos

(POV: Special Forces Soldier)

Watching the things below us under the cover of darkness, I checked my equipment including the gas mask in my pocket.

For all this discovery that led to this joint operation, Operation Thanos, I remembered the day when the Director gave us some news that brought me a memory of when my younger brother died from 'Judas', all because of a bioweapon created by him that brought millions of deaths in this world.

I am still mad. But today that Thanos will die and be exposed to the world as revenge for the innocent children and people who died from his war crimes!

Our destination, some country in Europe. We got here by a submersible aircraft carrier then took a helicopter.

"Mad man's piece of shite." said one of my battle buddies with disgust. "I can't believe that Nazi trash's grandfather was part of Hitler's Inner Circles ...his late father too pulled a manipulation on oil and commerce. And that the fool got connections in China, USA, Philippines, Netherlands and perhaps pretty fucking more others...some freak he is...he got so many names and aliases that I heard he forgot his real name."

I took lit from my cigar. "At least that terror cell he supplied and financed with through his now-disbanded legal fonts, disbanded when that faggot Jon died in his 'political asylum home'. But hey our home is clean now thanks to the unknown leaks and the moron's weapon killing his connections."

"Tell me about it. The only reason why I signed up for this job before that "Richard" came into play was to lay revenge against 'Richard' when his 'followers' imprisoned my grandfather with false charges right in front of us the damn stupid Committee! He was about to launch an operation that'll bring an end to New People's Brigade but those fucking government infiltrators ruined everything!"

"I understand what you mean there, Hound. It's all because of the shit that happened in the 80s when that foolish president released the bastard which caused the fuck ups from her foolishness, hatred, and greed. She may be dead but at least her entire line and family went extinct" said the team leader, throwing away his cigar. "For now, we should focus on the results of this operation because once we do the whole world will know cancer and that our country is not to be messed with, unlike the old times."

'Worst than her so-called predecessor..but she, her opportunistic husband, and the bastard Jon started it. But hey, her stupid fans are dead from the Global Pandemic. No more return of kakistocracy, oligarchy, and personality-based politics in our back home.' Nodding what the team leader, Hustler, said, I looked down below us.

I saw a house, unguarded outside.

What a senile fool. But somehow it's best not to let our guard down.

"Alright, we are about to land in the zone. Check your equipment." Hustler said as I heard his voice from our issued gas mask he wore.

I checked my weapon - an AR variant, a typical M4 obviously at first glance to anyone but truth be told.

It's a modified carbine variant of PVAR(1) assault rifle. It's an M4 but there's differences inside the system that made it a proven effective battle-tested weapon system.

Besides combat use, it also bagged medals in Army Games and others.

The equipment we wore, it's all new and not refurbished. We're all better armed now with new tactics, training, and equipment.

"Let's go, Alpha. We got a job to do." said Hustler. "Also, the sniper teams got all the escape routes blocked...we need the bastard dead."

Dropping from the helicopter, we formed the formation and made a walking silent walk under the cover of darkness.

As our squad went behind the trees for cover and concealment, I heard the squad leader, Hustler who radioed.

"This is Alpha 1, we're at Thanos' three-story house. We found three armed tangos ahead in the back entrance. Asking permission to engage. Over?"

"Affirmative, Alpha 1."

"Copy that."

Hustler nodded at us and gestured me and Liger to take down the two bad guys while the rest kept an eye on the floors and direction.

Pulling out the combat knife with my right hand, I crept over from my concealment and made my way to the first enemy who got his back exposed.

Striking the enemy with a knife as I stabbed his throat while I tightly covered his mouth like a constrictor, I used my might to make the stab wound deep enough to make the blood 'overflow' in him and die from the case of cutthroat.

'It's not every day to see some fool working for a retard. It's only a Geneva Suggestion but the stupid Global Pandemic came from it.' With the fool dead, I switched back to my main weapon while I got to see my team members very near the house with Serpent holding a foldable ladder ready for use.

Making my way to them, Serpent unfolded the ladder and placed it on the window of a kitchen room above us.

Pulling out my suppressed Glock pistol, I climbed my way up.

Notes to Explain:

1) Pneumatic Valve and Rod (PVAR) - It is based on the real-life PVAR action system. You can say it solved the problems of AR platforms by changing the Direct Gas Impingement System with a PVAR System.

I haven't fired and own one in real life but I did check the tests done by the SEALs here which you can find on Youtube by inputting "PVAR Rifle Test".

If you guys want to see how the PVAR system works, please Youtube Search "UDMC's Pneumatic Valve and Rod (PVAR) System" posted by UDMC Weapons (the youtube channel of UDMC who created PVAR system. It is not that active in uploading there but they are still in operation today) or Google Search "UDMC PVAR", it should show the official website "udmc-weapons".
