Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A fatal negotiation
Ezra stood there all alone against an army of undead led by Ramel. But he knew he could obliterate the skeletal horde in the blink of an eye. The only thing that stopped him from attacking was the gun pointed at his father.Lord Wilhelm and his son were holding Lord Sebastian hostage, and Lester and his adventurers had their guns and crossbows pointed straight at Ezra.The only one Ezra could count on in such a situation was his sister. But she had been led far away from Aranor by the Headless Horsemen. Lord Wilhelm had carefully planned every single step, and now his deceptive schemes had finally come to fruition.“Give up now, brother,” Ramel spoke again, his lips curving into a sly grin and his eyes gleaming with a malicious delight. “There is no way you can win. Aranor’s fate has been sealed, but there is still time to save father.”“He is your father as well!” Ezra snapped back, turning the Shadow Cannon toward his brother. “Is this how you intend to repay him for raising you and
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A tool for bargain
Ezra’s world came crashing down as Lord Sebastian’s lifeless body was dragged away by the adventurers. His life had turned upside down within a single night, leaving him devastated and distraught.“I will kill you all!” Ezra screamed at the top of his lungs, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Jasenki and his father. Even with the shackles on his hand, he looked far too dangerous to be left alone.In a moment of carelessness, the adventurer standing next to Ezra got distracted by the kill, giving Ezra the chance to break free. He shoved his elbow into the adventurer’s stomach, causing him to flinch and stagger back.“Ugh!”Before he could recover, Ezra ran off with his hands still cuffed.Paying no heed to the consequences, Ezra sprinted straight toward the skeletal horde in an attempt to get to Jasenki. Two Skeletal Warriors rushed at him, but he kicked the first one away and tackled the other one to the ground before bashing its skull with his head.“Order your minions not to attack him,”
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Imprisoned
In the blink of an eye, Ezra’s life had turned upside down. He had everything he ever wanted in this world: a loving family, a life of comfort, and a special talent that he could be proud of. After having overcome all the taunts and mockeries, Ezra had proved his worth by joining Dragon Claw. His life-long dream of becoming an Ace Gunner felt almost within his grasp, but Lord Wilhelm had snatched everything he held dear in one fell swoop.Even the one whom he had called his brother had betrayed him. The Romanov family now lay in ruins, and Aranor had been overrun with the undead. Things looked dismal from every angle, and here he was rotting inside a dark dungeon.“Damn you. Damn you all…”Ezra slumped down on the ground, his back pressed into the cold, damp wall behind him. He wanted to scream at someone, but he knew no one would hear him inside this dark prison.“Why didn’t you fight back, dad? How could they just overpower you so easily?” Ezra kept questioning, his mind clouded wit
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The murderous trio
“That was the best thing you could think of?” Marlin questioned in a vexed voice as Ezra slowly picked himself off the floor.“I did what you advised,” Ezra replied, catching his breath and rubbing his bloodied lips on his sleeves.“I do not remember telling you to make things so obvious. Now the guards will be expecting those ruffians to act up,” Marlin replied. “You should have handled things more tactfully.”“I am not in the mood to handle things tactfully. I just want to get out of here. And nothing would make me happier than to watch those prisoners kill those two guards.”Hearing Ezra’s explanation, Marlin realized that Ezra had acted in such a rash manner only to create a tense atmosphere which would possibly lead to a violent altercation between his captors and the prisoners.Although it was a blunt and risky approach, there was a good chance of it working in Ezra’s favor since the actual dungeon guards had been killed and the adventurers weren’t used to keeping an eye on such
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An escape plan
Frankko did not waste any time and quickly unhooked the keys from the adventurer’s belt. He then quietly opened his cell door. Once outside, he grabbed the bombs hanging from the guy’s waist and searched his pockets for potions. “You really can’t keep your grubby fingers to yourself, can you?” Maya asked. “Now please be a good boy and open my door too.”Frankko stood up and walked up to Maya’s cell, but before unlocking the door, he asked, “I am not doing this to free that Lord. I just wanna escape from this hell hole. Are you with me?”Maya sighed and shook her head. “And here I was thinking you had taken an interest in that boy. I am afraid I won’t be going anywhere without my dainty darling. Lord Ezra is coming with us.”Frankko flashed a sly smile at her and turned the key in the lock. “Congratulations, you passed the test.”“I know how much you love coin,” Maya replied. “Besides, after we escape, we are going to need the money to disappear from the wanted lists and start afresh.
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The escape plan (2)
Maya pulled away from the door, her mind clouded with doubt. Although she was eager to get her hands on the reward Ezra had promised, she wasn’t too keen on risking her life for it.Frankko too seemed to reconsider his options after hearing Giles’ words of caution. He turned to his companions and asked, “Is it too late to back down?”“We killed two of the adventurers sent to guard us. I believe it is way too late to turn around and walk away,” Giles replied as bluntly as possible.Maya clicked her tongue and shook her head, touching her forehead with her fingers. “I should have just stayed in my cell. Lord Wilhelm might have kept me as a mistress for himself or his son.”“And here I thought you wanted to become independent and open an orphanage for girls,” Giles said, giving her a cursory glance. “Perhaps you really do belong here with the rest of us.”Frankko put his hands on his waist and backed away from the door. “If Lord Wilhelm really had the Romanovs murdered, it means he has p
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The escape plan (3)
The three prisoners hid behind the walls and pulled Ezra out of the doorway. The adventurers planted silencing wards on the ground, and the mercenaries aimed their blunderbuss rifles at the door leading to the isolation room.“Come out with your hands above your head, and don’t try anything smart,” the oldest among the veteran adventurers called out, unfurling a scroll. “Field of protection!”The scroll released a protection spell that created a lingering healing zone around the adventurers and mercenaries. As long as they stayed within this zone, they were going to recover from minor injuries, and all their wounds would heal instantly.“That does not sound good,” Frankko whispered, eyeing Giles. “They even brought a mage with them. I don’t think we can fight them all off at the same time.”“You don’t need to worry about them,” Ezra replied. “My shackles are off now. It is time to teach them a lesson.”Although Ezra had surrendered all his firearms before being thrown into the dungeon
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A cruel repayment
On Preston’s orders, the two assassins dragged Ezra down two flights of stone stairs and brought him to the lowest floor in the dungeon. It had been built over two centuries ago, and the last prisoner who had been shackled here had died abandoned and alone.This floor had never been used to keep any prisoners after the Great Elven War ended. The nobles in positions of power deemed it far too cruel and inhumane to keep someone in that oppressing darkness, even if that prisoner had committed terrible crimes.Ezra was the first one in a hundred years to be taken to the old holding cell where dozens of poor souls had been tortured during the Great Wars. The room was shabby and dark, and the cobbled floor was stained with blood. There were no windows here, and the only source of light was a small chink in the ceiling which illuminated a small portion of the room with a hazy glow.The two assassins spread Ezra’s arms and legs tied his hands to the cuffs attached to the wall behind him, and

It begins with blood
Ignar had stood tall like an impenetrable fortress, resisting all sieges for centuries. The walled city perched atop the ravenous cliff overlooking the Great Green Sea was a testament to Valaria’s intricate architecture and immense military craftsmanship.Count Gressil had controlled this indomitable city for fifty years, fortifying its defenses and recruiting the best knights and cannoneers to turn this into an infallible stronghold. However, Lorelai’s blood magic had brought the city to its knees in one fell swoop.Despite her unconventional methods, she had succeeded far beyond Malodor’s wildest expectations, and now this great city once known for its values of chivalry and justice was wallowing in darkness, its walls and towers stained with the blood of the innocent.Inside the grand hall of Bloodflame Castle, Lorelai was seated on a bed of blood orchids, surrounded by nine pregnant women bound in dark vines.A clay pot in the middle of the room was gradually filling with blood as
Under the Dark Maw
While Ezra was dealing with Malodor and liberating Cekunia, Aurelia and the others were marching on Ignar. Led by Sir Galahar and his Royal Gunners, the Imperial army had finally arrived at Racinta.The ruined city looked inhospitable, much like the rest of the barren lands around it, but it was much safer to be camping inside Racinta, than resting in the open while the undead were howling in the dark.The dome of holy light shielding the ruined village kept the shadows at bay and allowed the soldiers to finally catch their breaths. They had been marching for two hours now, and even the horses looked tired.But Aurelia knew they had to get moving as soon as possible, or Lorelai could use her blood magic to wreak havoc on them.As the soldiers secured the village and gathered in the middle, Count Gressil lit a bonfire and ordered the men to drink up and recheck their gear.Meanwhile, Sir Galahar instructed two of his most trusted Royal Guards to scout the way ahead and scope out Ignar
Dead men tell no lies
Ezra’s medallion emitted a faint green light, and a cloud of darkness gushed out of its core, taking the shape of a humanoid entity. The Tainted Djinn emerged from the shadows, holding a mystic lantern dangling from rusty iron shackles.“How may I serve you, master?” It asked, bowing its hooded head in submission.Ezra pointed at Malodor’s corpse and replied, “I need to talk to him. Reckon you can arrange a meeting?”“Of course, master. Your wish is my command,” the Djinn replied before moving across the room like a shadow and hovering over Malodor’s lifeless body. It uttered an archaic incantation in its raspy voice and lowered the mystic lantern, allowing its pale green light to illuminate the necromancer’s pale white face.Using its Dark Rite ability, the Tainted Djinn summoned Malodor’s soul before Ezra, binding it to the mystic lantern for a few fleeting seconds.A ghastly gray apparition materialized in front of Ezra, and the air turned cold and arid.“Welcome back, Malodor. I
Malodor's Fall
A Gunner with a sword was a rare sight, but Lord Sebastian had trained Ezra to use short swords and sabers at an early age. He wasn’t the best when it came to melee weapons, but the situation left him with little choice.“Please guide my hand, Goddess,” Ezra uttered a faint prayer to the Goddess of knowledge before reaching out for the flaming longsword.As Ezra grabbed its handle and wrapped his fingers around the hilt, the flames rose higher, and the runes carved on its surface pulsed with divine energy.This wasn’t just any enchanted sword, it was one of the five divine weapons wielded by the immortal deities. And right now, this blade had chosen Ezra as its new owner.[Yolen’s Blade equipped successfully!][Magic Power consumed: 5000%!]Just equipping the sword drained Ezra’s magic power by half, but that wasn’t all. Each second he held onto the blade it continued draining a portion of his magic power, draining his energy at an alarming rate.Ezra took a deep breath and grabbed th
An ever-evolving enemy
The Undead Hydra’s incredible regenerative ability amplified Ezra’s problems, leaving him in a precarious situation. In the sky above, the Crimson Maw was rapidly taking shape, forming itself into a demonic head, and Malodor was still far out of his reach.Realizing that he needed to deal with the hydra as quickly as possible, Ezra reloaded his enchanted minigun with Flame Burst Bullets and fired again, concentrating on the monster’s bloated belly.A blistering volley of fiery explosions lit up the hydra as the flaming rounds seared its dark hide, but the projectiles did not manage to punch through its toughened scales.Ezra rotated the weapon, targeting the softer spots on the hydra’s chest. This time, he succeeded in burning a patch of rotten flesh and leaving a deep scar on the monster’s body. But despite being peppered with a thousand rounds, the hydra refused to go down. Its skin molted, regrowing a new patch of flesh covered with a hardened layer of scales.“What the hell is th
Blinding Haze
Staring death in the eye had become a habitual hazard for Ezra by now, but his legs froze as he saw the Undead Hydra’s serpentine head inching toward him. “Not tonight!” Ezra tossed a Shock Grenade at the hydra and jumped back.The blast zapped the oversized head, forcing the hydra to pull its snaking neck back into the green mist and disappear once again.Although the Basilisk’s Toxic Cocoon was shielding Ezra from the hydra’s poisonous breath, he could feel his eyes burning from the smoky haze. It was as if someone had sprayed pepper on his face, and each time he squeezed his eyelids, tears trickled down his face, stinging his skin like needles.Dizzy and disoriented, Ezra looked around frantically, scanning his surroundings for any hint of movement. But everything seemed as still as death, and the hissing noises had ceased as well.“Where the hell are you hiding? Show yourself!” Suddenly, a hydra head appeared from the left and sprayed Ezra with dark fumes. He started coughing fi
Hydra's Breath
Ezra was so focused on stopping Malodor’s demonic spell that he had forgotten all about the hydra. But now that the monster had emerged from its dark lair, there was no way forward without slaying it first.“I sure am glad we aren’t fighting it inside its underwater cave,” Marlin whispered in his cold voice, his cursed eye glued to the hydra. “But it’s still going to be one hell of a battle.”The Undead Hydra glared at Ezra, its five vicious heads bobbing up and down as long forked tongues slithered out of its mouths. It was a gigantic monster covered in slimy gray scales and patches of rotting skin infested with maggots.“How the hell is that thing even alive?” Ezra questioned, unable to comprehend how this monstrosity was still standing even though its rotting flesh was covered in thousands of open wounds and deep scars.“You know they call it an Undead Hydra for a reason,” Marlin whispered back. “I am quite sure Malodor resurrected a dead hydra with his dark magic and cursed it to
The first confrontation
Cekunia’s walls had been breached, and the undead lurking in the streets had been wiped out with extreme force. A lone Gunner had led the machines through the captured city and marched straight to its heart.Malodor was impressed by Ezra’s unshakeable resolve and great leadership skills. Despite having no support from the Imperial Army or Royal Gunners, he had somehow managed to bring Cekunia to its knees, and now the port city was wide open for assault.“You did well, Lord Ezra. I must confess I never expected you to make it this far,” Malodor’s wispy voice echoed in the darkness as he manifested like a shadow, floating ten feet above the ground, his withered old frame wrapped in loose black robes. “What do you seek, my Lord? And I mean, what do you really seek?” he whispered in a cold voice, staring into Ezra’s soul.“I am here for Tanya,” Ezra replied bluntly, glaring right back at the levitating necromancer.Malodor heaved an exhausted sigh and replied softly, “That girl belongs t
Malodor's corrupted stronghold
Ezra downed a magic restoration potion and topped off with an elemental affinity potion before heading in through the destroyed wall.The Blademaster Sentries had already gone ahead and engaged the Skeletal Warriors protecting the gate. When Ezra entered Cekunia with the rest of his troops, he was shocked to see how the undead had transformed the port city and turned it into a hellscape tainted with rot and corruption.The huts and cottages were covered in black tar, and the small shacks had been demolished to create room for bone totems that went deep into the ground and tainted the city with their malign influence.The city’s only cemetery had been plundered and razed to the ground, and the feral ghouls feasting on the rotten remains of the dead had turned it into a bloody boneyard.“Damn…This was my mother’s city. This is where she was raised and educated. I remember Aurelia telling me that mother loved watching the ships sail by on a starless night. But they destroyed everything.
