Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A dicey matchup
The crowd erupted with roars as Ezra and Sam stepped out of the backroom and entered the arena. Some cheered for Ezra while others took jibes at the young boy beside him.“The Red Devil is back!”“No one can stand in the devil’s way!”“Look at that fledgling. I bet the Red Devil is going to use him like cannon fodder!”“We want to see blood today!”“The Red Devil will crush his foes!”Hearing the cries of the spectators, Sam felt both nervous and excited at the same time. Although a few people were booing him, it still felt good to know they had finally noticed him.To make the event more exciting, the organizers had deliberately decided to raise the stakes for this duel. Instead of randomly selecting an opposing pair through a lucky draw, they had made their own selection.“Ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Dueling Tournament has witnessed a soaring success this year, all thanks to His Majesty’s incredible vision and the efforts of our organizers. I welcome you to the second round of th
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The maze of death
The obstacles and traps deployed inside the arena transformed it into a killing zone. It was a simple yet effective way to force the participants to strategize and come up with smart ideas instead of shooting each other in the face from point blank.Neither Rasher nor Lamier had any clue where their opponents were, but this wasn’t the first time they were fighting together. Since they had taken part in several tournaments and hunting expeditions as a team, this challenge hardly bothered them.While Lamier was reckless and impulsive, Rasher was calm and collected. This added a critical balance to their team, preventing any rash judgments.On one side of the arena, Rasher discussed things with Lamier and devised a plan to set up an ambush.Meanwhile, on the other end of the maze, Ezra continued scanning their surroundings. His Dragon Eye skill helped him detect the hidden traps and scan the path for hostiles. However, Sam being a poor E-level rookie, did not have access to any enhanced
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Triple Threat
The clever use of the Spectral Wraith’s Dark Possession ability shifted the scales in favor of Lamier and Rasher. Ezra had not only lost his dueling partner but was now forced to retaliate against Sam to prevent an early disaster.“Sam, I know you are still there. Fight the wraith!” Ezra yelled.But Sam did not bother replying. Instead, he fired his submachine gun, peppering him with magic bullets.Ezra’s Reflexive Armor flickered as it deflected the bullets, but he chose not to attack the rookie. Fortifying the magic shield around him, Ezra tried to talk some sense into his partner.“Get a grip on yourself. We are on the same team!” He said, straining hard to keep his shield active as it continuously drained his magic power to deflect the bullets. “Damn it, Sam. You leave me with no choice!"After emptying the whole magazine in one go, Sam tossed the submachine gun away and pulled out his dual five-shot revolvers. “Die! Die! Die!”Another flurry of rapid shots lit up Ezra’s magic shie
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A toxic surprise
Ezra tossed a couple of Frost Grenades to conjure an icy wall between him and his opponent. It bought him just enough time to sneak through the maze and find cover behind an L-shaped stone wall protected with sandbags.The crowd which had gone silent a second ago, now started cheering and shouting again. Many of them had shifted their loyalties over the course of the match and decided to support the two highborn Gunners instead of the masked devil.“Looks like the Red Devil was really an amateur!”“Yeah, Lord Rasher and Lord Lamier truly cut him to size.”“Loris should have chosen a better partner for the duel.”“It’s going to be over soon. What a bust!”Seated among the crowd, Kaelan was starting to get worried for his favorite customer. He had never thought things would turn out like this all of a sudden after such a good start.“Come on, Master Loris. You can’t let those snobs win. We have a reputation to maintain,” the elf muttered, praying for some miracle. But from the way things
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An identity crisis
Everyone gathered at the Arcadium was stunned by Ezra’s surprise victory. At one point, it looked like his opponents had him completely cornered. But despite being outnumbered and outgunned, he had managed to come out on top and prove all his critics wrong.“Loris Lagerlof and his teammate Sam Wilrug have qualified for the third round, where they will be taking part in a dungeon raid,” the announcer informed. “For winning this match, Loris and Sam will be rewarded five hundred Sovereigns each. Once again, congratulations to the Red Devil and his partner in crime!”Marquis Desmond looked furious as he stared at the masked Gunner who had just defeated his son. He wanted to order his guards to have Ezra arrested that very moment, but somehow controlled his temper.“You will never qualify for the final round, Loris Lagerlof,” he mumbled to himself. “And I will find out who you really are behind that mask.”Once the match officially ended, the Chief Court Mage, Servius, cast a spell to thaw
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A demonic threat
The rowdy supporters tried to push the guards aside and break through the barricades as they spotted Ezra coming out of the Arcadium. Ezra almost felt like royalty as the people shouted his name and begged for his attention.“All hail, the Red Devil! He is here to crush the nobles and make the Gunners stoop before him!”“We want to see you. Take off your mask, champion!”“Is it true that you are a highborn from an exiled family?”“Are you a necromancer in disguise?”“Please let us shake your hand. I beg for a strand of your hair!”“Who are you really? Are you even a human?”Never in his life had Ezra faced something like this. It was as if the people thought he was some kind of fallen warrior who had returned to exact his revenge.Ezra wanted to avoid the crowd, but one of the men elbowed a guard and broke through. He ran straight toward Ezra and reached for his mask. But before he could pull it off, Ezra pushed him back with a magic blast.“Keep your hands to yourself.”The leader of
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Maximus Estate
“Master Lagerlof, is someone there with you?” a voice asked from outside before another round of loud knocks rapped the wooden door. “You know, participants are not allowed to bring their friends here. This establishment has been booked exclusively for the Gunners who are taking part in the tournament.”Ezra picked up the white paper and flipped it over. Scribbled on its smooth side were the following words:Meet me under the Blue Apricot tree in the Royal Garden tomorrow at sundown if you decide to reconsider.You are free to refuse, but the consequences will be severe.Ezra crumbled the paper into his fist and shoved it inside his pocket before picking up the scroll.[Lesser Teleportation Scroll added to inventory!]“Master Loris, please try to abide by the rules. The organizers will be fur—”Ezra hurriedly opened the door and glared at the caretaker standing outside. “Can I have two moments of privacy, please? Or is it too much to ask?”The caretaker looked into Ezra’s room and was
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Marquis Desmond’s Visit
The following evening, Marquis Desmond’s motor wagon arrived at Verdant Gardens right as the sun was about to dip below the horizon. Marquis Desmond and his wife, Eliza Desmond alighted from the car accompanied by their son, Rasher Desmond.“Remember, what you were taught,” the chief knight advised his subordinates before sending them to receive the nobles.Two guards dressed in black robes and armed with silver-hilted katanas walked up to the Marquis and his family and bowed. “Welcome to the Maximus residence. Lord Nazarus and Lady Nixia are waiting for you inside,” the older guard greeted.Lady Eliza was left spellbound by the magnificent display of exotic lilies and carefully pruned bonsai bushes. It looked like she had been whisked away by a genie and teleported to another country.Verdant Gardens no longer looked like an abandoned garden overgrown with weeds and tall grass. It had been transformed into an Eastern paradise with brightly colored butterflies fluttering over sweet-sc

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
