Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Soul Drain
Ezra clambered back to his feet as the Stirges pulled away from him. There were claw marks and cuts all over his neck and arms, and he was bleeding from multiple orifices. But even in this weakened state, his resolve remained unshakeable. As Ezra stood up straight, the spectral wolf growled and took its position by his side. Almost immediately, a golden panel of light flashed open before his eyes. [New ability acquired: Soul Drain.] [Soul Drain (Level 1): Allows the spectral wolf’s master to directly drain the souls of low-level creatures around him in a 100-feet radius. This ability can be used once every twenty-four hours and does not expend any magic power. All souls drained from living beings are directly transferred to the master’s inventory. Caution: Soul Drain can be blocked by magic barriers and wards. It does not work against high-level creatures and the undead.] Ezra had watched his siblings use the powerful abilities granted by their Spectral Companions during training s
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Reinforcing loyalties
The next few days passed rather peacefully, with no word from the Rodels and Lord Cornelius. People soon stopped discussing about Ezra and moved on to the next spicy gossip about the arrival of a new firearms merchant in town. Aurelia kept quiet about the incident inside the training dungeon because she knew if their father had caught wind of their secret training session, he would seal off the basement to ensure Ezra’s safety. However, she hadn’t swept the matter from her mind and was doing her best to gather information. Ezra, on the other hand, could not have asked for a better training experience. Having awakened his Spirit Companion and earned its loyalty, he felt a lot more confident. His next goal was gathering the crafting materials needed for customizing his enchanted revolver and locating a Gunsmithing workbench. Ezra spent the following two days reading about different types of enchanted firearms and the most commonly available enchanted bullets. *** A lot had changed
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Exotic potions
As Ezra and Aurelia walked out of the mansion, they were greeted by the sight of a clear blue sky, and the gentle gaze of the autumn sun warmed their cold bodies. The town of Aranor looked as charming as a wood elf’s abode with the Dogwood and Red Maple trees donning new cloaks dyed in scarlet hues. Even the air was light and soothing as the wind carried with it the songs of distant robins. It had been quite some time since Ezra had taken a stroll down the streets. But it wasn’t because he was too lazy to walk or thought too highly of himself to mingle with the commoners. It was simply because he felt insecure with all the gossip around him. However, now that Ezra had Aurelia by his side, he felt a lot better. “I must admit father hasn’t let the years catch up with him. He is still as clever as always,” Aurelia said as she fixed her glove. Ezra had always regarded Lord Sebastian with respect, but he didn’t understand why his sister was praising him on this occasion. “What makes yo
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An insatiable hunger
Ezra thanked his sister, and together they left the potion store in high spirits. Aurelia was happy to see her brother finally enjoying the sun and engaging in other activities rather than pouring over his books and overthinking about his future. They were walking through the town square when suddenly Ezra felt a tingling sensation in his right arm. He understood that the cursed eye was about to manifest itself at any moment, and if anyone saw that on his hand, he would become the talk of the whole town again. Ezra knew he could not take any chances and immediately stopped in his tracks and shoved his right hand inside his pocket. “Sister!” he called out unusually loud, even though Aurelia was barely a few steps ahead of him. Startled by Ezra’s panicked voice, Aurelia turned around with an anxious expression on her face. “What is it? Are you okay, brother?” “I’m fine. It’s just that I think it’s best if you’re not seen together with me. You know how the townsfolk always think we ar
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Merchants’ Guild
A noble being refused entry into an establishment by a mere commoner was unheard of in all of Aranor, and this left Ezra shocked and confused. Gathering his hurt pride, Ezra looked straight at the guard, his eyes blazing with fury. “Do you even know who I am?” “It does not matter. Only members bearing the guild pass are allowed to enter this establishment, so beat it, kid,” the guard replied, tilting his head to point Ezra in the direction of the tavern. Offended by his impudence, Ezra lost his cool and pulled out his enchanted revolver. Pointing it at the guard, he spoke in a commanding voice, “I am Lord Ezra Romanov. Get out of my way, or I’ll drop you where you stand.” The guard never expected someone to pull a gun on him. And though he too, was armed with a flintlock pistol, the sight of the enchanted firearm in Ezra’s hand made his hands turn cold. Raising his hands, the guard whimpered, “You are making a big mistake here. Even the nobles aren’t allowed to enter without permi
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Special delivery
The merchants present in the guild’s meeting chamber exchanged curious glances with each other as Ezra left the room. A local trader stepped forward with a frown on his face and asked, “Why did you say that we would support the Romanovs? Lord Wilhelm has promised to give us interest-free loans all year round, and he has close ties with the Duke as well. Why didn’t you get Lord Ezra arrested for barging into our guild house and threatening us with violence?” Yarpin smiled at this as though it was the silliest thing he had ever heard and replied, “What do you think that would have accomplished?”As he turned to face the trader, a devious grin flashed on his sly face. “Getting the little Lord arrested would be a temporary solution. Either Lord Sebastian or his sister would have showed up to free him. My goal is to permanently get him out of our hair.” “What do you mean?” the trader asked nervously. Yarpin placed his hand on the trader’s shoulder and whispered in a cold voice, “Lord Ez
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Trapped!
The three rogues slowly emerged from the shadows and took flanking positions, surrounding Ezra from three sides. “Get out of here. You can still run!” the old man lying on the floor parted his bloodied lips and cried aloud. “It’s a bit too late for that!” the rogue wielding the large iron axe snapped back. Pulling out a prickly grape-sized fruit, he tossed it in the direction of the door. As soon as the fruit touched the wooden door frame, it split open to release a cluster of thorny green vines which spread out from the center and blocked the doorway. Ezra looked over his shoulder and saw that his only exit had been blocked by an impenetrable mesh of vines riddled with venomous thorns and tendrils. “Thornberries aren’t local to our province. How did you manage to get your hands on such an exotic fruit?” he asked, turning around to face the bandit. The man who had just tossed the Thornberry smirked and replied, “That’s none of your business. Besides, you are going to end up in a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A blood mage in hiding
An hour later, Ezra felt something cold and wet on his forehead and slowly opened his eyes. His throat felt so dry that he gasped for breath and soon started coughing. “Wha…what happened?” Ezra questioned in a feeble voice as he faintly made out the blurry outline of an elderly man standing over him. “You expended all your strength and magic power during the fight. It caused severe contractions within your body and weakened your immunity, hence the fever,” a familiar voice replied. Ezra tried to get up, but he was still too weak to stand up on his own, so the man beside him propped him up with a pillow. As Ezra’s vision slowly cleared, he squeezed the tears from his eyes and wiped his face clean with his kerchief. “I think you should stay the night. Your body is in pretty bad shape.” Hearing the man’s voice, Ezra turned his head to look at him. He thought it was Glenn, but the man looked far younger than the old collector. “Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you with thos

The Corrupted Valley
Killing the undead had become almost like a habit for Ezra. He could wipe out a horde of ghouls or skeletal warriors even with his eyes closed. However, the corrupted elves presented a different kind of challenge.On the one hand, there was the moral implication of committing genocide against the last elven tribes, while on the other, it was another needless waste of time and resources.Ezra knew that he could not command the Imperial Army to fight the elves, or their already dwindling morale would take a greater hit. Besides, he still hadn’t figured out what kind of magic was flowing out of the Wandering Stones.“Alright, here is the plan. We are going to handle things quietly in here. Our goal is to get close to the Wandering Stones and try to disrupt the spell cast by Vorus,” he whispered to Aurelia while keeping his eyes on the elven congregation. “I will try to distract the elves. But you need to be my eyes on the ground. If you can use your spectral angel to purify the Wandering
The Vale of Lost Scribes
Ezra and Aurelia traveled on horseback and soon arrived at the Fist of the Forefathers: an ancient stone structure shaped by the winds. The Vale of Lost Scribes was a mile away. All they needed to do was follow the dirt road.Aurelia glanced at her pocket watch as they stopped to survey their surroundings. It was almost half past five, and the sky still looked as gloomy as before.The winter sun never appeared on the horizon, even as the minutes rolled by in a hurry.“I thought we disrupted the dark spells. Why is the sun still not out?” Aurelia whispered, sticking close to her brother.Ezra looked at the sky, and something in the distance caught his attention. It was a beam of crimson light shooting into the sky and spearing through the dark clouds.“I think that might be the answer to your question. Look over there, sis,” Ezra said, gesturing at the blood-red aura leaking into the darkness.“What the hell is going on here? Is that another dark spell?” Aurelia asked, staring at the c
Envoy to the elven tribes
The last human envoy sent to the free elves of the valley had never returned to civilization. Some spies claimed the messenger was ambushed by the Wind Runners and captured as a prisoner, while other sources said the Thousand Arrows assassinated him on his way back.Although none could verify the claims or substantiate the rumors with hard evidence, the courtiers had unanimously decided to leave the free elves alone and stay clear of their homes.In his previous life as a high school student, Ezra was fond of nature documentaries and spent a considerable amount of time watching videos of uncontacted tribes. While things were a bit different in this world, he was convinced these elves living so far away from civilization would have their own primitive customs and traditions.“I wish we knew someone who has actually spent time among these tribal elves,” Ezra said, pouring over the map.“Well, there are plenty of elves living in Magaravia. But I doubt anyone would know much about the fre
Golems to the rescue
Despite losing many men to Lorelai's blood magic, Marquis Desmond had entered Ignar with a sizeable force. However, the sudden appearance of the Plague Bearer had dealt a crippling blow to their forces.Those who had come into direct contact with the infected scouts or their belongings had contracted the Rotting Plague and died within minutes of each. Meanwhile, the troops who drank the contaminated water were suffering from necrotic rot and black fever.Marquis Desmond had a dismal look on his face. He knew that with their current forces, they barely had enough strength to attack a small village, let alone lay siege to a modern city like Stonewell.“I am sorry, but our forces are stretched too thin. We entered Ignar with three thousand soldiers, but now only a thousand are in marching condition. The rest are either dead or sick with black fever. There is no way they can fight,” Marquis Desmond informed Ezra and Aurelia. “Did you consult the healers and priests?” Aurelia asked.“I di
Death is a mercy
Ezra’s whole world crumbled before his eyes as Aurelia’s words shook the ground beneath his feet. He had already lost her once and promised himself that he would never let any harm befall her under his watch again.“Leave me and go!” Aurelia insisted, her voice turning raspier with each passing second. She looked old and haggard now. It was as if someone had heaped their twilight years upon her and compelled her to carry the burdens of their past.“Don’t just stand there, brother. Get back…to Ignar.” Aurelia’s words sounded groggy and mangled this time. She was trying her best to fight the corruption, but the Plague Bearer’s spores had already started germinating within her and poisoning her mind.Looking at his sister, Ezra was reminded of his father’s death. Even back then he was forced to watch as a silent spectator while they shot Lord Sebastian.“Listen to…me,” Aurelia whimpered, holding on to the last remnant of her humanity. “I don’t have much time. Once…the seeds germinate wi
Progeny of the Plague
Ezra heaved a sigh of relief as the Plague Bearer’s curse was lifted and he was able to access his skills again. His magic power peaked at its threshold as his body absorbed the magic energy from the fallen enemy.The grueling encounter had finally ended, but Aurelia was still missing.Ezra put his musket away and equipped his damned shotgun in one hand, and pulled out a Dark Sight potion with the other.The overhanging canopy of dark leaves blocked all moonlight, turning the heart of the forest into a pit of darkness. Despite the potion empowering his sight, Ezra could only hazily make out the shapes standing in the distance.“Aurelia, can you hear me?” he shouted at the top of his lungs. “Where are you, sister?”But instead of any replies, only his own voice echoed back.Ezra trudged through the darkness, blasting his way through the tangled mass of Rot Vines and withered branches blocking his path. Even though the Plague Bearer was dead, the forest was still suffering from rot.Clu
The Plague Bearer (3)
The Plague Bearer thumped across the forest, belching and spreading its filth all around it. The forest reeked like a morgue and the air was heavy with the stench of rotting leaves.Ezra knew he had to play his cards right if he wanted to have any chance of surviving this encounter.The only thing preventing Ezra from turning into a disease-ridden corpse was the Elder Blood potion he had just consumed. But with his magic power completely drained, he had very few options at his disposal.The Bile Pods clustered behind the log cabin blocked Ezra’s path. If he tried to run through them, they would burst open, delivering a fatal dose of necro spores.Standing behind the cabin seemed like a safer choice for now, but the Rot Vines creeping along the forest floor were sure to latch onto him if he stayed there for too long.Ezra thought on his feet and decided to do something unexpected.As the Plague Bearing trudged across the forest with killing intent, Ezra peeked from the opposite corner
The Plague Bearer (2)
A Gunner without magic was nothing more than an ordinary gunslinger. Despite having access to some of the most powerful enchanted firearms, Ezra had no way to fire enchanted bullets without using magic power.The Plague Bearer towered over Ezra, its branch-like arms hanging loosely by its side as a slimy green liquid dripped incessantly from its mouth. Ezra knew he could not rely on his damned shotgun any longer since he was all out of magic power, so he quickly switched to his father’s enchanted musket.Equipping the Gremlin Silver-barreled Musket, Ezra fired a steel pellet at the Plague Bearer. The round pierced its chest, puncturing one of its many swollen blisters.A stream of putrid yellow bile oozed from the Plague Bearer’s bullet wound as it grumbled like an ancient troll. But the shot had barely scratched the surface.Raising its enormous arms, the Plague Bearer let out a hollow growl. As its guttural cry echoed through the forest, it attracted all the wrong kind of attention
The Plague Bearer
Ezra pulled out his damned shotgun and set out on the snaking path, guided by Aurelia’s spectral angel. Her holy aura pushed back the shadows, illuminating the surroundings, but the distant trees still remained in complete darkness.The shadow Ezra had spotted amidst the trees had disappeared without a trace, but the trail of decay lingered on, helping them track their elusive prey.Hunting a Plague Bearer in the dead of the night in the middle of a rotting forest was a fool’s gambit, but for Ezra and Aurelia, there was no alternative. Since the Plague Bearer had already started corrupting the lands around Ignar and infected so many beasts and birds nearby, it was dangerous to let the creature roam free for too long.Three scouts and an unwitting physician had already died from the Rotting Plague, and there was no telling how many more would get infected if things were not handled at once.The deeper they ventured into the forest, the gloomier it got, and the air reeked of rotting fl
