Arcane Sniper	comment	Arcane Sniper or Mystic Musketeer or Matan's Shooter is a korean 2017 comedy/action webnovel by Lee Soobaek and has been adapted in manwha by Deupo and Shaimel. Sergeant Ha Leeha is an incredibly talented sniper with a bright future ahead of him... until an accident damages the nerves of his legs, leaving him wheelchair bound. His only hope to recover the normal use of his legs is an outrageously costly surgery, and to get the money, he logs into the worldwide hit VR MMO Middle Earth at his cousin's urging. However, he accidently locks himself into the Musketeer class, considered the bottom of the tier list by the community.Armed with nothing but his experience as a soldier, his sniping skills, and a musket, Leeha sets out into the virtual world.

Arcane Sniper / int_1235f055	comment	A member named "Kimflowerpetal" and a slapped together party attempted to slay a field boss. When things started to go hairy, he disbanded the party and ran, leaving the ex-party members behind to get roasted. Upon seeing Leeha attempt to finish off the boss, he ignores Leeha's call for help and dips, letting Leeha do all the work while he'll reap the rewards afterwards after Leeha gets killed. When he shows up an hour later with a new squad, there's nothing left as Leeha killed the boss, and took all the dead players' gear. The players that died then start hounding Kimflowerpetal for ditching them and have their dropped gear back, and the entire incident nukes his reputation.

Leeha is embarrassed after finding out her idendity, and that he tried to protect someone much stronger than him, but she is genuinely thankful for the gesture and admits no one ever did that for her. She stealthily sends him a friend request after the whole event.

While Leeha can still use his legs to some weak extent, he struggles to even stand up with help. His ego is shattered and he falls into depression, which leads his cousin Kijeong and mom to pay him the VR capsule to cheer him up. He's so overjoyed by the fact he can walk again in the game, he runs so much he gets an achievement and a skill for it.

Arcane Sniper / int_3d699462	comment	Curb-Stomp Battle: Finally done with the Rising Sun's guild bullying, Leeha provokes them in a guild battle (with him as the sole member of his own), and proceeds to humiliate them so bad the guild disbands. For starters, he gets the location of all the guild's branches and sniping spot from the NPC information guild he helped create, and starts ambushing and sniping members, sub-leaders and leaders left and right. He then baits the rest of their forces into following him (a SNIPER) into a dark and dense forest, and snipes over 500 members inside there with a combination of sniping, mines, and overhaul effective planning. The Rising Sun guild almost get the upper hand when they hire hitmen from the information guild Shinobigumi that take Leeha by surprise and break his gun... but then Leeha uses his Soul Link skill to summon Koma, who in between the time they last met became a FIELD BOSS. He kills the hitmen and quite litteraly beats the guild leader into submission, forces him to repay all the low level players they killed and looted from, and disbands the entire guild. This battle is what kickstarts Leeha's reputation in Middle Earth and earns him his first nickname: Magician of Clouds.

Arcane Sniper / int_42d9daf9	comment	No Fair Cheating: Middle Earth has two mesures around character creation: A user can only have one character at a time, and if a user deletes their character, they'll have to wait months to create a new one, which prevents smurfing. The second is that the character's look will be in line with the user's true appearance, preventing identity theft. This can be zigzagged however, as character creation lets the player get rid of imperfections, as well as obtaining species specific traits which can muddy their appearance. They can also gain a different looks depending on the powers they obtain through the game, like with Shapeshifting.

Arcane Sniper / int_48ca7c29	comment	Broken Ace: In game, no one has any idea that the Arcane Sniper is a just a man desperate to use his legs again and get his old life back. Ha Leeha had everything going for him, he had a great career, was extremely talented, and loved his job. But then the accident nuked it all from orbit. Losing the ability to walk and shoot destroyed his self-esteem, made him feel like a useless burden and trapped in his own body. When he logs into Middle Earth for the first time, and walks again, he breaks down in tears and runs himself out of stamina 10 times in a row. When he logs out, he breaks down again, already missing the feeling. He converts that frustration into determination to get enough money for surgery. When Shin Nara asks him if they and their friends could meet IRL, he immediatly comes up with an excuse that he can't for now. He's disapointed in himself that he's terrified at how they would react if they find out he's an invalid.

And then there's Leeha, who IRL has established the Korean record for the longuest sniper shot at 1.833 meters (around 1.138 miles), and is slowly working his way up to that range in game as time goes on. To unlock all the seals on The Black Bass, he needs to defeat higher and higher level monsters at longuer and longer distances.

Its single target damage is ludicrously high, but the reload time is a whole minute and the accuracy is a coin toss. Ence, the class is passed over by every player, seen as trash tier and just not worth the effort compared to something like Archer. Leeha has to bend over backwards, gets skills and use his own personal IRL knowledge to make up for the classes issues.

They try to pinpoint the enemy to no avail, as the the clock ticks the bodies keep falling more and more, with nobody having any explanation as to why or how it's happening. The first chapter of the webnovel depicts and describes it as a total nightmare. During Phase 2, Leeha becomes The Dreaded for having singlehandedly destroyed entire parties and turning around battles with this tactic. Even his allies are left wandering "what the hell just happened" after watching him snipe an entire enemy camp.

Arcane Sniper / int_6b35bdff	type	Serious Business
Arcane Sniper / int_6b35bdff	comment	Serious Business: Dying in the game is taken to an almost comically serious degree, but for good reasons. First: You will be unable to log in the game for 48h. It's not much of an issue for casual players, but for those who make money in the game and potentially have their livelihood depend on it, this is a serious problem. Leeha exploits this in his battle against Rising Sun. Having killed a large amount of players, including leaders, he severely cripples Rising Sun's revenue. And second: Inventory and EXP loss. This is a severe time and ressource loss, especially at higher levels where obtaining high level gear and leveling up is a serious investement. There is also potentially losing achievements and so stat points. Becomes even more serious when Phase 2 begins. Now, dying can lead you to fail missions, which can lend you in the negatives in the "War Contribution" points. Those in the negatives at the end of the war recieve a penalty and miss out on rewards. Leeha exploits this while bargaining the retreat of the Sea Serpent fleet with Admiral Drake. While the NPCs want to go down with the ship, Leeha manages to sway the negotiations in his favor with threatening the players with the huge loss that'll come with their death.

Its single target damage is ludicrously high, but the reload time is a whole minute and the accuracy is a coin toss. Ence, the class is passed over by every player, seen as trash tier and just not worth the effort compared to something like Archer. Leeha has to bend over backwards, gets skills and use his own personal IRL knowledge to make up for the classes issues.

Arcane Sniper / int_9f7769a2	type	The Gunslinger
Arcane Sniper / int_9f7769a2	comment	The Gunslinger: The Musketeer class is slightly more akin to this than actual Musketeer, since they are never seen wielding sword. Each member of the Three Musketeers are a different shade of this trope. Leeha and Elizabeth are the "Bullseye" or "Sniping". Relying on long range One-Hit Kill using Sniper Rifles. Kid and No-Brow are the "Quick". Sacrificing range with firing speed and coverage using small guns. Luger and Brown are the "Piercer". Using massive sized rounds with BFGs.

Arcane Sniper / int_9fdb1baf	type	Cannot Talk to Women
Arcane Sniper / int_9fdb1baf	comment	Cannot Talk to Women: Downplayed. Leeha can make small talk with women just fine, but struggles being natural with women he finds attractive. In his first meeting with Shin Nara, he stutters and blushes just hearing his name out of her mouth, which Kijeong teases him about afterwards. Justified, as Leeha graduated from a boy's only middle and high-school before immediatly enrolling in the military, not exactly the best places to meet women. To add salt in the wound, his last relationship was over 20 years ago in elementary school.

She was destroyed when Leeha became an invalid, and willing to give up her entire savings if it would let him walk again, she saved up money with Kijeong to buy Middle Earth to cheer up Leeha, she works for the both of them since Leeha lost his job, and breaks down in tears upon recieving the money he earned through the game.

Arcane Sniper / int_b2cdd776	comment	Bottomless Magazines: Subverted to Leeha's great dismay. Every bullet, and powder he uses must be bought in advance and stored in inventory. This is another reason why the Musketeer class is avoided, as getting ammo and gun maintenaince gets costly really fast. When he gets the Black Bass, he is reminded of this reality yet again, and has to commission special bullets for it.

A feet that baffles his allies and enemies alike. Subverted when Leeha gets a pair of small guns. Upon testing them, he quickly realizes those don't have accuracy at all, and should only be used for close range combat.

His skills didn't rust in the slightest once in the game, and with a combination of the right skills, and a Dexterity stats to match he manages to pull off One Hit Kills at longer and longer ranges over time. Among the long list of Leeha's insane shots, there is snping a small target 250 meters away while being flown above an altitude of 50 meters!

Leeha befriends Bluegrun, but even after the latter's rebirth, Leeha received no class change notice.

All three are tasked to work together to take down a boss in the mountains, and any of them dying would signal immediate failure. While Leeha and Kid have no problem getting along, Luger is another story. While it has gone a bit off the rails, all three of them did manage to finish the quest by the skin of their teeth. Leeha even shows off such Improbable Aiming Skills that Luger has no choice but to ackowledge him by finally adressing by name instead of "Bullseye".

Arcane Sniper / int_e56b1ad5	comment	Player-Generated Economy: As an MMO with an auction house, this naturally comes into play. Leeha notices that it would be possible for high level players to throw the economy out of whack with high level items. However, because a player loses some EXP and their inventory upon death, and keeps the higher ranked player on a board for all to see, they are encouraged to keep their high level items instead of selling them, to avoid other players using those same tools to climb to their level. It's also to keep the items hidden "out of inventory" in case they do get killed and need to replace equipement. Thus, keeping the economy balanced through competition.

He is so fast in his draws, he became well known after gunning down 30 Rising Sun guild members in an instant, while ASLEEP ON A TABLE. His personal gun, The Crimson Geckos, shapeshifts into 4 revolvers he juggles with to go along with the playstyle. No-Brow, the director of the Musketeer Academy is very proficient at this, Leeha noticing that he takes seconds to reload a musket. As a member of the previous generation of the Three Musketeers, he was nicknamed "The Quick" for having this style. He was the original owner of the Crimson Geckos, and Sleeping Kid above is his succesor.

Leeha gets annoyed with Kid's "cool and vague" attitude but respects his skills and is willing to turn to him for advice. This is a heavy contrast with the third member of the Three Musketeers, Luger, who did not hesitate to blow a hole in Kid to get the "Arcane Sniper". But the relationship doesn't seem to be hopeless either. Turns out the Three Musketeers are supposed to have this sort of relationship, as one of them will inherit the "Arcane Sniper", which the two other can attempt to steal. They even get a skill that shows the location of the other two Musketeers upon officialy becoming a member.
