Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System One step closer
The stormy night ended abruptly as the sun’s golden spears pierced the clouds, ushering in a new dawn. The rain had stopped long back, and the wind died down a few minutes later.Despite the day being bright and warm, Ezra felt chilly and feverish. Most of his memories from the previous night were a hazy blur of disjointed images and disconnected thoughts. All he could manage to piece together was his last conversation with the princess before he stepped out of the palace grounds, setting off homeward.Glenn helped Ezra to his feet and gave him a new shirt and a clean pair of pants. He changed into his new clothes and sat down on a little cot in the corner of the room, still dizzy from the ordeal.“Where’s Zala?” Ezra asked as fragments of what had happened last night flashed in his mind.Glenn did not have the heart to repeat the tragedy, so Tanya narrated the whole thing to Ezra.After listening to everything, Ezra’s face fell, and he hung his head in despair. “So…another person sac
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The bigger picture
The only Gunner who had managed to slay a dragon in Valaria’s long history was the legendary hero Edwaine Erlock. But that was almost two hundred years ago, and the dragon he had gunned down was a Silver-winged Firetail, the weakest among all the species.Since then, there had only been a couple of dragon sightings off the coast of Valaria, but they never ventured inland as the Elder Dragons of Xerkonia had forged a peace treaty with the humans in exchange for the Island of Yikendi, which was a treasure trove of awakened magic crystals.However, the dragon Servius had spoken about was far different than those in Xerkonia.The elven Gunner was the first to object to this seemingly impossible task. She raised her hand once and activated a magic cube to get her voice across to the crowd.“The Grand Dueling Tournament has been held every year for over three decades, but never in its history have the participants been asked to slay a dragon. This is unfair!” she protested. “There is no way
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Dragon Hunt
As Ezra flew over the city and headed for the volcanic plateau, his mind raced with excitement. He remembered his first hunt, and it brought back fond memories. By killing the griffin, Ezra had reclaimed his reputation and earned the title of Ishani’s Chosen Sword, but many grueling days had passed since then. Forced to flee from his own home, he had to conceal his true identity and keep living in the shadows.But Ezra’s days of living in obscurity were now ticking down quickly. He intended to reveal his real identity before challenging the champion. However, for that, he first needed to win this crucial round.“Accelerate!” Ezra ignited his magic power to boost his flying speed, and it enabled him to soar across the clouds like a blazing comet. The volcanic plateau was only a few dozen miles away from Magaravia, and Ezra wanted to find the dragon before the other participants, especially Archibald.As Ezra was flying across the sky, he suddenly spied something from the corner of his
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Dragon Hunt (2)
Archibald readied his silver-barreled musket and flew up to get a better view. He was still under the impression that he was the only one hunting the dragon, but little did he know he was in for a rude awakening.Ezra rocketed across the sky and blasted through the spurting geysers like a comet. “What the hell was that?” Archibald’s eyes widened as he saw Ezra through his sights for a brief moment. But before he could track him, Ezra disappeared amidst the smoke.For a second, Archibald thought he was just imagining things, but soon he caught up with Ezra again as he speared through the smoky veil and appeared in his line of sight.“Damn you! How did you get here so fast?” Archibald frowned, his teeth grinding against each other and his fingers digging into the butt of his rifle. “You must be barking mad if you think you can take my prize from me. The dragon’s head belongs to me and me alone!”While Archibald watched from a safe distance, Ezra dived straight into the maw of the furnac
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Dragon Hunt (3)
Bang!Crack!A loud shot rang out from above, piercing the clouds and leaving a blazing white trail in its wake. The enchanted bullet split into three in mid-air and struck the dragon on its head.Archibald had just fired a Fragmenting Disintegration Round that was designed to penetrate the toughest of armors. But instead of punching through the dragon’s hide, the bullets bounced off its scaly head.“There is no way any creature can shrug off this bullet,” Archibald gasped, his piercing gaze glued to the dragon’s reptilian frame. Without wasting another second, he reloaded his weapon and took another shot.This time, another volley of Disintegration Rounds struck the dragon’s head, leaving a scar on the left side of its bony jaw. But it was merely a flesh wound, no deeper than a few millimeters.“Just a scratch. Impossible!” Archibald’s eyes widened in disbelief as he used his True Sight skill to zoom in on the dragon’s face. His shots had hit their target with perfect accuracy but fai

The sudden arrival of the feral harpies turned the tides of the battle in the dragon’s favor, sweeping off any advantage that Archibald had.Even with the Nephilim Berserker supporting Archibald, he could not find any openings. The harpy swarm continued attacking him from every direction, their sharp claws and hooked beaks scratching at his cloak and boots.“Get the hell off me, you disgusting half-breeds!”While Archibald was busy dealing with the harpies, his Nephilim Berserker continued attacking the Black Dragon.Speeding across the open sky, the spectral Nephilim slashed the Black Dragon with his enchanted sword, slicing through its scaly chest and drawing first blood.However, the wound wasn’t deep enough to damage any vital organs or cause the dragon any major discomfort.The Black Dragon merely growled in annoyance and whipped the air with its serpentine tail. A blow delivered with such force would have crushed anyone’s ribs and shattered even the toughest of armors, but the N
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Dragon Slayer!
Yolena’s divine ring cloaked Ezra, granting him temporary invisibility under the cover of darkness. He could now stalk the Horned Black Dragon from a safe distance without getting spotted. Ezra’s Dragon Eye skill had allowed him to obtain more information about the undead dragon while his rival Gunners were busy fighting it head-on. So far, he had learned two crucial things: firstly, the dragon’s heart was a storehouse for dark energy, which enabled it to use dark abilities like Chaos Strike and Feral Rage. Additionally, it was immune to elemental fire and resisted most physical attacks.Archibald had already demonstrated water-based elemental attacks were extremely effective against this dragon. However, a Gunner could only hope to temporarily extinguish the fire in the Black Dragon’s gullet since it was impossible to cool its belly.This was one way to disable the Black Dragon’s Flame Breath attack for a few seconds, but the problem was that it had plenty of other abilities in its
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Challenger’s Glory
The crowd erupted with cheers and shouts of celebration as Ezra returned to the Arcadium carrying Draken’s dismembered corpse on his shoulder. Despite bearing witness to the cruel reality of death, the crowd continued cheering. It was almost as if Draken had been sent there as cannon fodder, and his untimely demise changed nothing important.However, not everyone sitting in the crowd was happy with the outcome.Marquis Desmond’s son, Rasher, was among those who detested the Red Devil. He would have cheered for any other contestant, but Ezra was the last person to be on his list.“How do you always manage to come out on top?” Rasher muttered, staring at Ezra in disbelief. He had watched the hunt unfold through the magic window Servius had opened in the Arcadium, and he could not understand how Ezra had managed to survive.Rasher could swear he had seen Ezra being roasted alive by the Black Flames, but somehow, the unyielding devil had managed to hold onto his life.What puzzled him ev

An unstoppable carnage
Ezra’s face darkened, and something hammered inside his head, igniting his primal instincts. Even though he had done his best to sever himself from the darkness, the tainted elven blood flowing through his veins brought out the worst in him as it mixed with the dark rain.Marlin’s lips dried up as he watched Ezra toss Lord Lucius’ dismembered corpse away like a rotting carcass. The blood dripping down his face hardly bothered Ezra, and he seemed to pay no heed to the necrophages growling around him.A horde of feral ghouls had rushed into the firearms factory, and the place was now swarming with undead, but Ezra focused on the dark tower in the middle of the courtyard.“I am coming for you, Vorus!” he yelled, summoning three Corrupted Cannons.But instead of firing them, Ezra combined the three cannons into an even bigger weapon that looked almost like a terrifying rail gun. Pointing the Mega Cannon at the dark tower, Ezra fired a charged shot.Boom!A powerful blast shook the founda
Cruel forgiveness
Lord Lucius heaved a sigh of relief but still kept his sniper trained on Ezra. “You know, the good ones don’t always win. This is a cruel and unfair world. But at least you tried,” Lester scoffed in his arrogant voice as his war axe grated against the wet floor like a long-handed scythe. “Your father was too self-righteous for his own good. He should have just taken the hint and stepped down while he had the chance. It would have certainly saved us all the trouble of killing him.”Those cruel words stung Ezra’s heart. Once again, he was reminded of that fateful day when he had lost everything. But instead of trying to lash out or curse Lester, he remained as calm as a monk.“My father trusted you. We thought you actually cared about the people of Aranor. But you really just care about filling your pockets,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice.Lester chuckled and grabbed his war axe with both hands, raising it above his head. Cracking his shoulders, he stretched his arms back to lo
Dark awakening
Ezra’s life flashed before his eyes as he stared down the brass barrel of the enchanted hand cannon. Even with his left lung blown out, he still held onto his dying breath, refusing to yield.“Your family should not have insulted my wife and daughter. Look what you made me do?” Lord Lucius grumbled, his voice laced with the malice bubbling inside his heart as he gripped the trigger. “The Romanov name shall never be heard again.”Crack!Suddenly, the sky lit up with streaks of forked lightning, and a thunderous roar shook the ground. Blinded by the flash, Lord Lucius missed his shot. Boom!As the cannonball exploded behind Ezra, the dark gray clouds rumbled and burst open at their seams, showering the city with magic rain.A misty blue haze swept the streets of Stonewell as the downpour intensified. Drenched in the magic rain, Lord Lucius lost control of his powers, and his enchanted hand cannon exploded in his face.“Damn it! Summon Owlbear!” Lord Lucius exclaimed, grabbing his fros
A fallen warrior
The Primal Demon was a hulking mass of muscle and rage, obedient only to the Lord of Decay. Its sheer size was enough to make any army turn pale and flee in terror, but the Imperial Troops were surrounded by ghouls on all sides and had nowhere left to run.“The demons walk among us now. Ishani has abandoned our world,” Marquis Desmond spoke in a cold voice, his eyes glued to the colossal brute glaring at them.“Run back!”“We can’t kill that thing!”“Move!”Panicked voices rang out across the battlefield as the Imperial Swordsmen ran back, fleeing from what looked like certain death.Swish!The Primal Demon swung its burning meat cleaver, slashing a wide arc through the terror-stricken crowd and slicing the swordsmen in half.Blood and guts splashed out in the air as horrified screams echoed into the night. With each swipe of its flaming cleaver, the demon mowed down dozens of terrified soldiers who tried to run away.“Summon Spectral Companion!” Count Gressil called out to his Spectr
All hell breaks loose
Outside the walls of Stonewell, the Imperial Army was nearly spent from the endless fighting. The ghouls and resurrected skeletons kept coming even as the soldiers killed them in hundreds. “I don’t think we can hold them back much longer,” Marquis Desmond relayed in his hoarse voice, his throat sore from shouting commands and organizing his troops. “These things just keep coming. There is no end to their numbers.”“Don’t give up just yet. Ezra needs us to hold the line and keep them distracted,” Aurelia replied, firing a firebolt from her musket. It burned through five packs of ghouls and cleared a path to the Infernal Gates. “Those Lich Kings are doing all the summoning. If we kill them, there will be no one left to raise the dead again.”“The problem is getting close to them,” Count Gressil said, riding down from the frontlines. “We tried shooting at them, but they are protected by unholy barriers. Not even my enchanted bullets could get through.”While the three of them were busy
Mirror Mirror…
Fighting demons was nothing new for Ezra. He had single-handedly vanquished a Flame Demon barely a few weeks back and then held his own against an even stronger Abyssal Demon. However, the Shadow Demon blocking his path presented a whole different challenge.To make matters worse, Vorus had already enlisted the help of a dozen more cultists to empower his spell and prevent the dark barrier from shrinking further. Now, even with one of the dark towers disabled, the spell’s influence continued growing stronger by the minute.Ezra could feel his muscles turning stiff as the decaying influence of the dark spell slowly sapped his strength, wreaking havoc on his body.The Shadow Demon noticed Ezra’s hands trembling as he leveled Lord Sebastian’s enchanted musket against his shoulder and took aim. A ring of blue light appeared in front of the barrel, and as Ezra pulled the trigger, a bolt of forked lightning erupted from his rifle. It crackled through the air and zapped the Shadow Demon, bu
Rotting away
Destroying the tainted crystal disabled the dark tower, severing its link from Vorus. With just two dark towers empowering his spell, the dark barrier shrunk back to the walls of Stonewell, weakening in intensity.Ezra breathed a sigh of relief as the decay slowed down, giving him just enough time to drink another Rapid Rejuvenation potion.Although it wasn’t a permanent solution, the magic brew helped Ezra buy just a little more time for himself.“One down. Two to go.” As Ezra looked outside, the shrieking of wyverns alerted him. The dark ones had heard the explosion and were now circling the skies around the tower.Flying out of there was only going to land Ezra in more trouble, so instead of taking the quick way out, he jumped down onto a broken ledge and rolled onto the rubble to cushion his fall.It wasn’t the smoothest path, and it tore Ezra’s jacket and bruised his legs, but he managed to get out of the tower before the necro bats swarmed in through the hole in the wall.Ezra’s
Shadow of the saboteur
Vorus’ mastery over dark magic, combined with Stonewell’s advanced technology, allowed him to amplify his spell, increasing not just its area of influence but its power as well.Encased inside a dome of decay, Stonewell remained impervious to all attacking forces. The Imperial Army fighting outside was forced to back away and adopt a more defensive approach as the dark barrier expanded, engulfing a good quarter of the vast plains.Even the elves under Flavius’ command ran back to escape the effects of the spell.Ezra, however, had no choice but to push through the city while struggling with the constant life drain. Every second he spent inside the dark barrier leeched an hour from his life, making him age unnaturally.Although Ezra had only been inside Stonewell for a couple of minutes, he could already feel his limbs growing stiff and his skin turning wrinkly and soft.“Why don’t you just attack and kill Vorus directly? Why go through all the trouble of sabotaging the dark towers and
Rot and Decay
Ezra moved like a shadow, his boots kissing the cobbled road noiselessly as he sneaked up to the walls of Stonewell. A barred iron gate guarded by Elite Gunners obstructed his path while an army of Skeletal Archers kept watch from the battlements above.Even though the night was blindingly dark, the faint light from the spectral lamps hanging from the wall flickered in the soft-dying wind, illuminating the city in an eerie glow.In the past, a traveler could hear the grinding of factory gears and the crackling flames of the blazing furnace even from outside the gate, but now this once bustling city had fallen into a deathly slumber. The only sounds that reached Ezra’s ears were the wailing of banshees and the distant howls of feral ghouls.No living creature could survive within the walls of Stonewell while the dark barrier was active, yet Ezra was puzzled to see two human Gunners guarding the gate.“This doesn’t make any sense. How are they fighting the curse?” he mumbled in confusi
