Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Attack on Silver Springs (2)
While Count Gressil led the defense against the undead horde marching upon Silver Springs, Ezra and Tanya entered the Garden of Automatons, escorted by one of the town guards. The Garden of Automatons was a carefully curated labyrinth consisting of leafy green hedges and various kinds of exotic floral blossoms.It looked just like any other well-maintained garden, but the main highlights of this attraction weren’t the flowers and creepers. The Garden of Automatons showcased black and white marble statues of the most revolutionary mechanical contraptions designed in Silver Springs.Ezra and Tanya could see the towering sculptures peeping over the hedges as they walked down the leafy trail. There were statues of the first mechanical sentries, as well as the six-legged insectoids used for transport. And deeper inside the garden, they came across a statue of the legendary mechanical engineer Sir Adventus Halicomb, the man who had invented Valaria’s first aerial mode of transport: the Dra
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Attack on Silver Springs (3)
As Ezra and Tanya entered the crypt, the doors slammed shut behind them, closing off their only exit.The Crypt of Reilor was the final resting place of the deceased from the Reeves bloodline and had been protected for generations. But now that Zepheroth had been freed from his eternal prison, his dark influence had cast an evil shadow on Valaria, corrupting the lands.It was still a mystery how the undead had managed to infiltrate the crypt and turn it into their territory, but Ezra was determined to wipe them all out.The Crypt of Reilor was built as a two-floor setup, with the first floor containing the ‘Chamber of Offerings’ and the bottom floor leading to ‘The Burial Chamber’ and ‘Chamber of Spirits’.As Ezra and Tanya took their first steps upon the cobbled floor, a foul stench wafted toward them, choking their nostrils. It smelled like something had recently died here and was left to rot for several days.Tanya retched but covered her mouth and nose with her hand to prevent hers
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Crypt of Reilor
Ezra’s eyes lit up as he read the new notification. The Gunners in this world could only learn unique skills by obtaining special skill books or unlocking hidden objectives, making it difficult for beginners to unlock them. However, Ezra now had an easy shot at earning that sweet reward.The Dread Wolves rushed out of the shadows and poured into the chamber before Ezra could spare another thought. They were bigger than normal gray wolves but smaller than dire wolves. But what made them stand out was their moldy black fur and the V-shaped red patches on their chests.Sensing the threat, Ezra's spectral wolf raised its head and let out a fierce howl that terrified the undead canines, forcing them into a corner and giving Ezra just enough time to analyze them.[Dragon eye activated!][Target identified: Dread Wolf Forager.][Type: Carnivorous canines. (Undead)][Strengths: Dread Wolves are pack hunters who like isolating their prey and overwhelming larger beasts with their numbers. Their

“What happened? Are you alright?” Tanya rushed to Ezra’s side and slowly helped him to his feet.His creased forehead was covered in sweat and he looked pale and weak. As Tanya touched his forehead with the back of her palm, it singed her skin and she quickly pulled back. “You’re burning up!”“I…saw someone. A man wearing a black robe with coral red eyes and bony fingers.”The words were barely out of Ezra’s mouth when a fiery orb streaked over their heads and crashed into the wall behind them, scattering into sparks.“Divine Barrier!” Tanya hurriedly scrambled to her feet and pointed her open palms forward to conjure a shield of light.Zap! Crackle!Suddenly, a lightning bolt flashed across the bridge and struck the divine shield, causing it to flicker and buzz.“Goddess, grant me your strength!” Tanya knit her eyebrows and squeezed her creased forehead, pouring out all her magic power to reinforce the barrier of light. It was just enough to fortify its weakened core and stave off
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Burial Chamber
Ever since Ezra and Tanya entered the crypt, a pair of ghastly green eyes had been observing their every move in silence. The Banshee knew her home had been invaded by outsiders, but she could not get close to them because of the sacred medallion hanging from Tanya’s neck.Ishani’s holy relic was the only thing that kept the wailing woman at bay, but Tanya knew a slight lapse in focus could spell disaster. Thus, even as Ezra prepared to enter the burial chamber, she continued chanting protective incantations to ward off evil spirits.“This is it then. Are you ready?” Ezra asked, turning to Tanya.“I can hear the Dread Wolves howling inside. And there is a good chance we might run into another Direlock as well. I need to prepare,” Tanya replied and then started drawing a runic circle in the air to cast her most powerful psychic protection spell.***Outside the town of Silver Springs, the dark fog had swallowed the grassy plains and it continued drifting toward the walls of the town.Co
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Endless slaughter
The fearless Dread Wolf Warriors rushed at Ezra with their claws drawn and fangs bared. But before they could get within striking range, Ezra tossed his elemental grenade in their direction.As the glass sphere shattered, it sprayed the advancing Dread Wolves with icy cold water. However, this minor annoyance did nothing to impede their charge. Two of the youngest Dread Wolf warriors lunged at Ezra, but he was quick to leap back and dodge their claws as they ripped through the air. He followed it by swapping his ammunition and firing two Bone Slugs, which punched through their chests, knocking them down.“This is only the beginning,” Ezra whispered as he conjured another elemental grenade. This one had a sparkling blue core surrounded by foggy black clouds.Ferocious howls echoed inside the burial chamber as the rest of the Dread Wolves let their primal instincts take over. Dropping to the ground, they sprinted on all fours and jumped at Ezra.“Get the hell back!” Ezra shouted, tossin
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Banshee’s Curse
Tanya was just checking the second coffin on her side when she heard Ezra’s suppressed groan. As she turned around, her face turned pale and her eyes widened in horror.Ezra’s lean figure was shrouded by a gray mist and a tarry black pool had formed under his feet, swallowing his shadow within its abyssal maw.“Lord Ezra!” She rushed to Ezra’s side to assist him, but Ezra put his hand out to stop her.“Don’t come near me!” he cried out. “I…have been cursed. It’s dangerous to get close.”As Ezra slowly turned around Tanya saw that his face was covered in open sores and there were blisters all over his neck.“How did this happen? What did you touch?” Tanya asked, her voice shaky and feeble.“I just lifted the lid off this coffin and looked inside,” Ezra replied, straining his throat. “I am sorry. I should have been more careful.”Tanya pointed her open right palm at Ezra and whispered, “Goddess, grant me your sight and allow me to see what ails your child. Selesa Alor Vamor.”A golden c
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The last stand
Inside the Crypt of Reilor, Ezra was opening the coffins in a hurry, trying to find the one that contained the mortal remains of the founding father of Silver Springs. After opening twenty-three coffins, Ezra finally chanced upon the coffin where Josiah Reeves had been laid to rest. But as he tried to touch his corpse to search for the map, his fingers were burned by an invisible flame, and he groaned in pain.“Damn it! I am sick of these traps and tricks.”Tanya hurried to his side and asked what was wrong.Ezra pointed at the coffin. “That’s the one belonging to Josiah Reeves. His initials are etched on the suit they buried him in.”Tanya quickly turned toward the coffin and looked inside. One look at the crumbling corpse was enough for her to confirm it was indeed the founding father. It was the same embalmed body she had seen in her vision.“Finally, we found him!” she exclaimed, gawking at the founder’s corpse. “But there is a problem. It burned my fingers when I tried touching

Choose your fate
“I never really thought the boy had it in him to keep going after he lost his home,” someone observed in a calm, benevolent voice. “I must admit his resilience is quite impressive for a mortal. Were it anyone else in his shoes, the ending would have been a lot different.”“I knew there was something about him right from the day he was born. Alas, his mother never got the chance to see him grow up,” a feminine voice stated wistfully. “The question remains, what must we do with him now?” the male voice questioned.“I think it is time to leave the choice in his hands,” a second feminine voice spoke aloud. “Wake up, my dear child. Your mortal troubles cannot touch you here. Wake up and choose.”Groggy and disoriented, Ezra slowly parted his eyelids and immediately squinted as the bright white light flooding the room smarted his eyes. Still dizzy and weak, he somehow rolled over and gasped.“Where am I? What happened?” “You are safe inside the Hall of Wandering Souls,” a measured feminine
Sins of Thy Father
“The hour of darkness descends upon this world like a shroud, and the bleeding moon beckons the Lord of Decay to reclaim his lost domain. Come forth and ascend the throne of darkness, my Lord!”Ezra’s heart pounded inside his chest like a caged animal, and his head throbbed in pain as he heard muffled words shouted in the distance. Lying in a bloody puddle on the black marble floor, he parted his droopy eyelids and saw Lord Wilhelm standing behind the altar and Lady Lillian facing him on the other side.Though Tanya’s face was hidden from view, Ezra could see her supple white fingers tingling as her delicate arm dangled from the stone altar. She was still alive, but Lord Wilhelm was already anointing the ceremonial dagger forged from infernal obsidian and preparing to plunge it into her heart.“You…cannot do it. You need the crimson moon to…summon Zepheroth,” Ezra said, fighting the pain.“The hour of our Lord is nigh. And all celestials shall obey his will,” Lord Wilhelm continued cha
Heroes never win
The enchanted nock gun vibrated with elemental energy as Jasenki loaded it with enchanted rounds. The glyphs carved into its stock shimmered and dazzled as he aimed at Ezra.“Scream for me, Ezra!” Jasenki yelled, pulling the trigger.Bang! Fwoom!A fiery barrage lit up the dark pavilion as fifteen fireballs erupted from the silver-dusted barrels. The first hit burned Ezra’s left sleeve, setting his tattered leather jacket ablaze, and the rest of the fireballs charred his white shirt, burning his skin.“This gun was forged by the best Gunsmiths in Stonewell, and enchanted with the rarest of ancient glyphs. No one can withstand its power!”Jasenki reloaded his weapon and fired again, unleashing another flaming barrage.But this time, a barrier of flames erupted around Ezra, cocooning him within an elemental shell.All fifteen fireballs exploded into sparks as they collided with the flame barrier, leaving Ezra unharmed.“Damn you, Ezra. Keep trying your tricks and see how long you can su
Lovers in Crime
Ezra looked at the two Spectral Companions hovering behind Jasenki and Cecilia and realized these spirits weren’t obtained from their ancestral artifacts. “I see you have abandoned your family relics,” he said, carefully analyzing the two specters with his Dragon Eye skill. “These spectral entities are gifts from the Lord of Decay,” Jasenki replied, raising his head with arrogance. “I bet you have never encountered anything so powerful before.”“Go on, Ezra. Call your little Spectral Basilisk, and let us see if it can stand up to our companions,” Cecilia mocked, casting a disdainful glance at Ezra’s tattered brown jacket and muddy black boots. “You still look as beggarly as before. I suppose some things never change. I am so glad I rejected you when I did.”Suddenly, Ezra’s eyes glinted, and his pupils brightened with a bright blue flame that blazed with magic energy. The scar on his chest glowed through his shirt, revealing his true power.Reaching inside his jacket, Ezra pulled out
Hour of Judgment
Following the glowing trail left behind by the Spectral Beholder, Ezra avoided the rot vines squirming in the mire, and the Medallion of Purity hanging over his chest shielded him from the swamp's corrupting influence.Dark geysers erupted around Ezra, spewing molten tar several feet in the air and filling the swamp with a sulfurous haze. The choking odor brought tears to his eyes, but he pushed on through the vaporous veil.The Spectral Beholder led Ezra to a small patch of dry land surrounded by rotting oak trees. As he stepped onto the elevated mound, he spotted a fiery blue orb floating in the distance.Ten more orbs appeared out of thin air, floating through the foggy darkness. At first glance, they looked like glowing power crystals, but as Ezra took a closer look, he realized these orbs weren’t floating crystals or fireflies, but Elven Wisps.The Elven Wisps were unique spectral entities only found in the Violet Everglades. Unlike Banshees and Spectral Wraiths, the Elven Wisps w
Lady of the Swamp
A weary traveler lost inside the Violet Everglades was an easy prey for the creatures of the dark, and Ezra had just encountered one such nefarious entity. But instead of fear, his eyes lit up with a strange hopefulness.“You called out to me in Tanya’s voice, so you must have seen her passing through. Point me toward the Fountain of Chaos, and I won’t kill you,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, without even turning to look at the creature creeping toward him.The creature laughed at his words and rushed through the darkness, moving like a shadow to play with his mind. Her voice echoed from different directions as she disappeared like smoke and danced around Ezra.“You are in my home, youngling. The dark ones told me you’d be coming,” she cackled. “But you won’t be walking out alive. So, forget about your friend and save yourself if you can!”As Ezra stood there motionless, a howling shadow rushed past him and gathered on a dry patch of grass overgrown with violet tulips that glo
Swamped!
The upturned black carriage slowly sinking in the mud, had turned into a feasting ground for the necrophages prowling nearby. But these slimy creatures neither resembled Ghouls nor Drekavacs. At first glance, it was easy to mistake them for Merfolk due to their scaly bodies and fish-like gills. However, their sharp black claws and long white fangs gave away their real nature.About thirteen of them were gathered around the carriage, fighting for the best share of the food and tearing out lumps of flesh from the dead horses lying in the mud. Seeing no human bodies around, Ezra concluded the cultists must have ditched the carriage upon entering the swamp and proceeded on foot from this point onward.“The cultists are already here. We should be careful,” Ezra cautioned the Count as he slid out of the saddle and dismounted from his horse. It was far too dangerous to ride any animal into the swamp, leaving him with no choice but to walk.“We are losing time here. Let’s go in and kill thos
The Everglades dilemma
Marquis Desmond volunteered to stay behind and defend Stonewell while Count Gressil and Aurelia joined Ezra, ready to venture into the Everglades and rescue Tanya.However, as soon as Flavius heard their plan, he immediately objected to the idea.“The Violet Everglades is a perilous swamp haunted by malevolent specters and damned elven warriors who were cursed to roam this world forever. Chaos magic flows in its murky depths, twisting everything it touches and distorting the surroundings. Aberrations and magical anomalies are as common in the Everglades as trees in a forest. It is not wise to willingly venture into that death trap.”“The cultists have Tanya, and they are going to sacrifice her at the Fountain of Chaos. I don’t care about the dangers!” Count Gressil retorted, his fatherly feelings pushing all thoughts of caution out of his mind.But Flavius, being a distant guest, could look at things objectively without getting overwhelmed by his emotions. He looked calmly at the Count
Pieces of the final puzzle
Ezra rummaged through the pile of ashes on the ground, hoping to find that one elusive clue that would lead him to Tanya. But all he managed to get his hands on was a pile of disjointed bones buried amidst the heap.“God, how I wish you were here with me, Marlin. I could really use your help.”The thought of summoning Vorus’ departed soul to this mortal plane crossed Ezra’s mind for a moment, but as he looked at his shattered Mystic Lamp medallion, he remembered the necromancer had destroyed his old relic, vanquishing the Tainted Djinn.“Damn it, Vorus. You are a pain in the behind even after your death!” Ezra clenched his fists, anger, and frustration surging in his heart. Even after killing all three necromancers, he had learned nothing about Tanya’s whereabouts.As Ezra’s pocket watch ticked the minutes away, his heart raced faster and faster. He knew he barely had a couple of hours to locate Tanya and free her before the other cultists sacrificed her.The sound of heavy footsteps m
