"Sir, it's ready." A soldier announced after they set up the illegally modified Gravity Plasma Railgun.
All the soldiers knew there was something very wrong with the weapon, but they were looking the other way due to a sketchy deal Grey made with Markov Military Base's Brigadier General.
Moreover, everyone got paid hazard pay to be there, so they couldn't complain.
"Excellent." Grey smiled, "Let me get it sighted in."
The teen walked up to the scope, which had a ladder next to it. He stepped up until he could see through the lens, looking at a random building's wall in front of him.
That's all he could see—a wall. They had aimed the rifle at a large shopping outlet with an 80-by-50-foot brick wall.
However, it locked on, and the power levels cranked up, monitored in the scope.
"As you can see, we're looking at the side of a strip mall two city blocks long." Grey grinned, "I want everyone to place bets on how much of this outlet strip the gun will shoot through."
He switched the stream view to an aerial pan to show the rooftop of the outlet before picking up a carabiner connected to a heavy chain.
Grey glided his hand against the rifle's trigger lovingly and clipped the carabiner to it.
After walking behind a T-Wall and putting down his power suit's visor, he gave the thumbs up to a driver sitting in a humvee with the chain attached.
The man looked at everyone else where protective visors gave the thumbs up and then drove forward.
Click! The trigger pulled back, forcing the truck to stop, and—
BUzZZzzZZzzZZzzZZzzZZzzZZzz!
Annihilation.
The word was in the description.
It's a word that's usually exaggerated.
However, the word was barely adequate to describe what happened next.
A massive flash of blue light ripped through the wall, blinding everyone present. There was no booming noise, only a buzzing sound from the plasma shooting out.
"Where are my gambling addicts tha bet on it destroying everything?" Grey asked his fans when his vision returned, looking at the shopping mall with madness swirling in his eyes.
It was better to say he stared at what was left of the strip mall—which was nothing. The gun's plasma shot had expanded to a hundred-foot diameter before slamming into the wall.
As a result, it liquefied the entire strip mall—and didn't stop.
Those watching the aerial stream watched the camera zoom out 4,000 feet in the air, the necessary height to watch the blue shoot across the city, liquifying everything in a mile-long stretch.
Grey gazed over a mile in the distance without a single visual obstacle. If a building was partially in the path, it got a clean circular curve punctured through it.
It melted everything in its blast radius, making the area a perfect tunnel-like structure leading through the city.
It was also beautiful, leaving behind a strange trail of blue mist in the tunnel, glimmering in the sunlight, buzzing like bees. "I suppose it's not everything; it's left behind some pretty—"
Crackle! CRACKLE! BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
All the blue plasma glimmering in the air turned black and cackled with electricity before falling to the earth, causing a small earthquake.
The ground buckled under the pressure, sending fractures shooting out 100 feet in all directions, destabilizing stores and causing walls to fall.
It was biblical.
"Hah. Haha." Grey chuckled, hiccuping.
Ding!

While many people would be obsessing over their stats, reveling in their endless historic achievements, or appraising the damage in awe, the teen only had one thing on his mind—
"There you have it, my greedy brethren!" Greed laughed maniacally, "One shot from this beautiful, super, super sketchy weapon earned me 1,663,600 experience points in the starter zone.
If this doesn't prove that money can buy you success without effort, I don't know what will!"
The teen only thought of how much money he'd make after showing how fast people could power level with the useless weapon. Alternately, the gravity aspect could fetch unruly amounts for military research, and some people could set it up to annihilate enemy bases!
"Well, beyond the effort it takes to attend Greed's Cheat Advantage Auction on Wednesday at 8 pm PST in Markov." He grinned wickedly, "Be warned; it'll take at least 23 STA to keep raising your bidding sign!"
Greed smiled in satisfaction as he opened his item menu.

"When players don't mob the patrons after, large numbers are delightful." He grinned, turning to the soldiers, "Alright, boys, let's pack this baby up.
We killed over 200 militants and 20 heavy vehicles. You can verify with drone footage later."
The soldiers were still stunned, staring at the mile-long stretch with mouths agape. However, when the teen coaxed them, they returned to business, avoiding eye contact.
"Let's see what type of hate this has generated." Grey chuckled sinisterly a couple of minutes later, "I'm sure the internet's on fire."

Grey grinned, reading through the comments. "Keep complaining, everyone. It's great for business."
The teen laced his fingers together and swiped the air, overlooking the catalog of overpowered weapons in his arsenal.
"Well, let's get the filming team over here and start power leveling." Greed grinned, materializing a conventional assault rifle that shot miniature plasma grenade bullets, "Advertising has never been so advantageous."
