The second week ended with them all winning, and it was the topic in their designated groups. They even have fans now. Three more to go, and they will be champions in their groups.
Ram's opponent tonight was an archer which has the same range. Last time he got damaged but now he was careful, the opponent surely is careful also and shooting some barrage skill to measure Ram.
Ram was annoyed, and he did the unexpected, instead of running and evading he used all his movement skills in one go and close the gap, it startled the opponent and loose her composure.
A series of explosion was heard and the woman hunter was down on the grass near Ram. He won using weird move but it was an on the spot decision, he did not mind loosing now, so he gambled and it paid well. His heart was even still a bit pumping wildly, but he was excited.
He seems to enjoy fighting but he did not mind it, and just thought it was just the urge to take the prices, but still he was excited everytime he fought someone.

The PRE finals started and Ram's opponent was a swordsman, It was a dex type swordsman and seems to have weird skills also, meaning he is a holder of advance class.
The battle heated up, but the two of them did not took any damage and always careful using their movement skills. Ram, activated one of his hidden skills Metal Ink and successfully landed, it slowed the swordsman grately, but he escaped from it not long, but the swordsman realized something weird in his status bar.
"Shit that bullets have slow, or maybe an enchant skill?" He was hit by the bullets when he is under metal ink, but he manages in some potion, he did not expect the negative effect of it.
From there onwards the battle turned into Ram's favor and it ended with the swordsman using all his skills and potions. Ram was hit once or twice but it did not cause significant damage.
That was the longest battle he has ever, and even using his skill metal ink.
When Ram was back he saw everyone, and he was the last person.
"Congratulations Ram" Shaia said and the others were smiling also.
"What?I am last huh. hahaha, how was your fight?"
They chatted with victory in their faces, all won with ease and qualified for the final battle.
They logged out and Ram hastily watched the person he will fight tomorrow and it was a mage called Lunixus. When he searched the battles, it was one sided. A CC skill and a huge fireball or barges of ice spears and sometimes stone daggers. It was a two skill combo that always work for him. Linuxus is the right hand of Black Dragon, leader of Drakunis guild which is one of the top guilds that started to recruit a few months ago even if the guild system is not yet released.

The Finals finally came and all eyes were now on their own groups with the finalists. Some even watching a couple of screens.
It was a grassland, some rock hills and even a shallow river. He teleported in the grass land and could not see the opponent so it must be behind one of the hills.
He stood and waited for five minutes and when he saw where he is at, he headed hastily. With haste Ram circled behind the hills and a spell welcomed him. But the fireball landed on the rock wall and missed.
He used his movement skill while shooting, the battle lasted long and when he used his last movement skill the enemy seems to become aggressive and shoot some skills and inserted sneakily the CC(Crowd Control) skill under the barrage. The enemy timed it well and seems to know the skills, and it caught Ram.
The enemy ultimate skills must be charged but it was just enough for the CC to last.
"Haha. You are Dead" The mage who was on the ground murmured with his two hands on the air and above him a large sun like fire ball was forming and growing larger.
The ball of fire was shot towards Ram who was entangled on the foot and could not move.
The viewers gasped in air as the flame was about to hit Ram it was fast but the moment seemed slow for everyone.
With his habit of covering his mouth with the revolver and whispering. He then pointed his gun at his head.
The mage was shock.
"Suicide?" He blurted out.
The viewers also gritted their teeth and realized that maybe they will also use to suicide than to die in the enemies' skill, by why not use the skill to the enemy.
The gun shot and a small recoil produced, as soon as the bullet hit his head it vanished and petrified Ram on the spot.
The Huge fireball exploded at Ram and created havoc to the ground and the surroundings.
"Damn that gunner, using suicide." The mage sneered but still shock. He said, but he realized something and look at the surroundings while the smoke was still around.
"Why am I not teleporting?" Then he understood and look at the place. A statue of some sort stood there. It was rams petrified body. It negated all the damage from the spell. He was startled but reacted quickly and chugged a mana potion.

The Petrification was only 10 sec, and he saw Ram moved and pointed the gun, gladly his movement skill was on cool down and evaded. the battle continued and it shook the viewers, their hair stood from excitement and almost swallow the screen in their phones and on the computer.
Some who are in their capsule and watched the video in real battle, and they can control the view as if they were there, their payment to the new site was worth it. When that happened one of the rankers who was defeated by Ram and been following his vlog shared the video, and because he is also a ranker many viewed quickly and paid for the in game viewing live, so they can control their point of view.
The battle continued; the mage was delaying time for his mana regeneration but Ram saw the opportunity and shot some slow bullets. "Haste Bullet" he whispered again with his habit. and shot himself in the head. The mage stopped and thought it was the petrify skill but when the gun exploded it did nothing, and he realized.
"Shit.." He hurled lots of spells when Ram was approaching fast, even not saving anymore the mana he plans to use later.
Ram saw the panic, and slowly chipped the mage, but the mage composed himself and stopped. He used CC on the ground and Ram was on the quicksand slowed.
The mage chugged his last mana potion and it was an epic potion he reserved for this kind of moment.
"Damn you" He wanted to use the Ice spears or earth dagger, but he needed a sure death with his last mana.
The huge fireball was charged again and hurled towards Ram.
He tucked his left gun in the holder and raised his left-hand facing the huge fireball.
"HAHAHHAHA. I WON" The mage clearly knew that the skill he used earlier has long cool down and Ram must be desperate to cast some free skills and try to block his fire. , but he already researched and most of the block skills is not enough for his ultimate.
"Imhotep Mirror". A six-foot tall mirror appeared and absorb the huge fireball, and it vanished like a bubble in the air.

The mage laughed continued to echo but it abruptly stopped when he saw the fireball was gone.
Ram could use the fireball, but he did not use the second ability of the skill, and just changed his gun into the Scarlet Rifle and aimed at the mage.
The mage was killed and teleported, he now looks dazzled while the NPCs and players walked around him and doing their businesses, he was back at the market where he was preparing and just bought the most expensive mana potion for this last battle.
On Ram's side the five of them saw what happened because they finished their fights early.
They were jumping and cheering when Ram opened his eyes and not so far in his left view Shaia and Mia was standing with a smile. Shaia then hugged him.
"We all saw what happened, that was amazing fight, we all won also" Shaia said as her head was in Ram's chest
"Ahahahaha.. Congratulations everyone". Ram did not know what to say and just look at them looking at Shaia, who for the first time was showing some emotions to a guy.
"Hohohooo. I guess the princess finally gave in huh?!?" Mia was much more excited as she was checking them. The others were also giving a thumbs up when Ram looked. Shaia heard Mia but did not react and comforted herself in Ram's embrace.
The viewers have gone mad, the forums was in chaos, many questions appeared. Who is the mysterious "Gun Whisperer"? His new nickname spread and photos of him whispering to his gun with that cowboy costume spread. It was the most viewed battle in the entire region.
