Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The heart of Valaria
Glenn had used his blood magic to cast a ninth-tier teleportation spell that teleported them far away from Aranor and brought them to a new location. Although most teleportation spells only worked on the caster and his personal belongings, Glenn’s blood magic was powerful enough to teleport his companion as well. However, by casting Blood Mist and then using two teleportation spells in rapid succession he had pushed his body to its breaking point.When Ezra opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of a dimly lit room illuminated by a candelabra stand holding thirteen candles and a small lantern on the oak wood table in front.“Where are we now? Is this your hiding—”Ezra’s words stuck in his throat as his eyes fell on Glenn. The blood mage looked old and withered now, his face covered in wrinkles and his arms thin and fragile. His hair had turned ashen gray, and the signs of aging were visible in his saggy cheeks and dull gray eyes.“What happened to you?” Ezra questioned. Ev
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Reunited in Magaravia
Ezra had heard plenty about Valaria’s capital from his father and read about the city in several books, but this was his first visit to Magaravia. It was nothing like Aranor or the villages around it. In fact, it looked far advanced than any city in Valaria.As their motor wagon glided across the streets of Magaravia, Ezra rolled his window pane down to gaze outside. There were no cottages or huts in this city and even the most modest houses had tiled roofs and large oval windows.The other buildings were brightly painted and had multiple floors. Most of them sported glass windows and a small backyard. There were tall concrete structures with dome-shaped roofs as well as stone towers and minarets scattered all across the city.Ezra marveled at the sight of the different shrines, temples, and guild houses. Every architectural wonder had been crafted following a specific style unique to Magaravia. Almost every building had oval windows and open terraces bordered by decorative banisters.
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A tale of blood and sorrow
The long-awaited reunion happened at last, but Ezra’s situation had changed so drastically that he did not feel any joy. It was only a fleeting sense of relief calming his heart as he saw Tanya was in good health. However, Count Gressil seemed troubled, and there was a sense of panic looming in the air.The Count welcomed Ezra to drink a glass of ice-cold lemonade and then offered him some pastries prepared by his personal chef. But Ezra only took a few sips of the chilled beverage before putting his glass down.“I am not in the mood to eat,” he said. “I’ve lost everything. My father is dead and my home is gone.”“I am sorry for your loss, my Lord. I know words cannot console you, but perhaps you will take comfort in knowing that the king has promised to keep us safe,” Lady Tanya replied in a soft voice, doing her best to console Ezra. “Please do not give up on yourself. This tale will not end in despair.”“I…have lost everything, my Lady,” Ezra replied, lowering his gaze. His downcas
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Lady Tanya’s trump card
Count Gressil held Ezra’s shoulders with a fatherly embrace and promised him they would avenge Lord Sebastian’s death.Ezra nodded silently, expressing his gratitude with a half-bow. Now that Aranor had fallen and the Morelises were in power, Ezra did not have too many well-wishers in this world. But Count Gressil’s unwavering support assured him that he wasn’t alone in this fight.“I need to have a word with my informers. You are welcome to stay with us for as long as you like, Lord Ezra,” Count Gressil said before taking his leave and walking out of the room with his most trusted Elite Guard.Soon after, Glenn took his leave as well and promised to return in the evening. For now, he had to return to his house and make arrangements to recover his strength and replenish his magic.Only a couple of knights remained outside the room, leaving Ezra and Tanya in each other’s company.If things hadn’t taken such a drastic turn for the worse, Ezra would have cherished the opportunity to spend
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A room in her heart
The capital of Valaria offered Ezra a chance to begin anew and gradually build himself up to reclaim all that he had lost. It was a safe haven where he was safe from those who had destroyed his home and torn his family apart. But he knew Jasenki and his father would not give up so easily.Although Count Gressil had promised to support Ezra, the man already had plenty of battles to fight on his own turf. He knew he could not ask too much of him and his daughter.Keeping all things in mind, Ezra got up to leave, but Tanya stopped him before he could head for the door.“Where are you going?” she asked. “Do you know anyone in Magaravia?”“Only Glenn and your father,” Ezra replied.“Then where do you plan on staying?” Tanya asked. “This city does not treat strangers very kindly, my Lord.”“I…will figure something out,” Ezra said, with a slight hint of hesitation in his voice. After losing the ones dearest to him, Ezra wasn’t too keen on being around Tanya and her father and causing more t
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A new beginning
Acquiring an enchanted firearm took priority over everything else, but Ezra knew he could not just waltz into any store and ask for a weapon. Here in the capital, even the most affluent merchants and most respected Gunners needed special permission from the Central Council to purchase enchanted firearms and bullets.Despite having a Gunsmithing system at his disposal, Ezra did not possess the necessary skills to craft new firearms from scratch. In order to create a new weapon, he still needed to get his hands on their blueprints.Marlin’s advice about participating in the duels held throughout the capital was a quick and easy way for Ezra to acquire a firearm and even get his shot at earning some extra coin. However, there was one small problem: he still needed a gun to challenge his opponent in the duel.“I need to acquire a gun to take part in any duel. But they took my coin purse before throwing me in the dungeon, and now I am nothing more than a pauper,” Ezra said to Marlin.The o
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Keep it a secret
Ezra followed the shopkeeper to the spacious corner with the mirror, and the man took his measurements with two silver threads. “You have a good physique, and your hands do not have any calluses or bruises,” he said, scrutinizing Ezra. “I think your family must be quite well off. Perhaps you are the son of a famous merchant from your town.”“I am just an orphan. I joined the guild at an early age, and the Elders were kind enough to let me stay,” Ezra replied.But the shop owner did not seem too convinced. As he was measuring Ezra’s calves and ankles, he became a little suspicious about the whole thing. “So…why did you decide to take part in this tournament if this is against the rules of your clan?”“I love my clan a lot, but I have always dreamed of meeting the king and being allowed to enter his court. I wish to become one of his Elite Gunners and serve the country,” Ezra replied, doing his best to make it sound genuine.“And you are sure you can defeat your rivals?” the man asked.
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Madam Moonfrey's Exotic Supplies
The gray-haired woman welcomed Ezra inside a run-down tavern with squeaky wooden floorboards and damp, dilapidated walls covered in cobwebs. One look was enough for anyone to tell that the place had seen better days. But the people sitting on those old wooden chairs and chattering away their cares did not seem to mind their sordid surroundings.A plump barmaid with a bountiful bosom was shuffling plates across the tables and scooping up empty flasks reeking of cheap liquor.As Ezra stepped into the light, the people around him started talking in hushed whispers. Some looked at him suspiciously while others regarded him with utter disinterest and continued munching on their unsalted peanuts and soggy pretzels.The gray-haired woman guided Ezra to the bar counter and walked in through a flimsy wooden gate to stand opposite to him.“I take it you are new in town, boy. So…where are you from? And what brings you to these parts?” she asked, regarding Ezra with curiosity.“I am from a town t

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
The infiltration plan
The Imperial Army advanced like a well-oiled machine, gradually pushing back the undead and clearing a way to Stonewell. The cavalry units rode down the lowly ghouls while the riflemen continued targeting the Slashers.Even the Skeletal Warriors found it difficult to penetrate the defensive circle as the Imperial Swordsmen hacked and slashed through the undead attackers, covering all sides.Count Gressil and Marquis Desmond acted as commanding officers, organizing the whole offensive and charting a course through the madness. Their strategy of supporting the melee attackers with ranged gunfire worked wonders against the undead. However, the tides of battle turned once again as Vorus sent out his fliers to engage the enemy.Dark Harpies and Tainted Beholders flew out of the clouds, catching the human troops by surprise. The riflemen were too busy dealing with the Slashers and this sudden aerial assault left them defenseless.Flocks of harpies swooped down like eagles and plucked the s
