Nen-Forged Sniper

Carrying the inspiration he had found while focusing by the lakeside, Ryan sat cross-legged on a boulder beside the valley lake. The surrounding waters reflected the light of the sky, perfectly still. He slowly closed his eyes, and the Nen within him circulated evenly in the state of "Ten." The aura around his body seemed to solidify into a motionless curtain of water, cutting off every ripple from the outside world. He sank his consciousness deep into his "Self-Conception Space."

It was the Inner Realm where Nen Abilities were conceived—the Thought Domain. There, Ryan began constructing a Conjuration weapon with Nen.

The outline of a long-range weapon first surfaced in his mind: a slender body, a precision barrel, the mechanical click of moving parts, and intersecting crosshairs in an optical scope... It was something familiar from his memories of his previous life—a sniper rifle.

But soon, he frowned.

"...Not enough."

During the battle with the Nen-enhanced boar, he had clearly realized that although a direct hit was already powerful, such firepower was still insufficient to kill a target with Nen defenses in a single shot.

"I don't just need an ordinary sniper rifle. I need long-range heavy firepower capable of piercing 'Ken' defenses in the Hunter world and even causing Nen destruction."

Ryan pondered, and inspiration surfaced from the depths of his mind.

—The antimateriel weapons from his previous life, used to destroy light armor, blast through walls, and even counter helicopters.

"An antimateriel sniper cannon... a large-caliber heavy Nen cannon... a Conjured antitank rifle."

His thoughts gradually took shape: a high-pressure Nen Power charging chamber, a specially lengthened barrel, a recoil-buffering lock, foldable heavy bipods, and a mechanically assisted aiming module... But he had no intention of simply copying them. He wanted to fuse them with his own style.
