Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Queen’s Truth
Ezra and Tanya arrived at the palace through a teleportation portal that brought them directly to Aleena’s room. “How did you—”Aya was shocked to see them waltz into the room through the portal in the wall. The palace was supposed to be completely secure from outside infiltration, but it seemed like Servius’ spell had weakened.Aleena was quick to clear her confusion. “I gave Lord Ezra a Doorway Crystal before parting ways outside the tower. Doorway Crystals open temporary gates between two locations, disregarding all magical barriers.”With that, Aleena dismissed her chambermaid and instructed her to stand guard outside the door. She then quickly drew the curtains before turning the lights on.Queen Guinevere rose from her bed and welcomed Ezra and Tanya with open arms.“Thank you for saving me. I don’t think I can ever repay you for your kindness.”Forgetting all royal courtesy, the queen embraced Tanya and kissed her on her forehead like a loving mother. “We are fortunate to be g
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System To catch a viper
The queen knew she could trust Servius with her life and share all her secrets in his presence, so she rose to get the door. But Ezra stopped her.“I cannot be seen here with you.”“Why not?” she asked, creasing her brows.“Because the people of Magaravia believe I am dead. Servius doesn’t need to know the truth…not yet.”Even Aleena was puzzled by Ezra’s response. On the one hand, he had explained how Servius’s unfailing loyalty had saved her father, but on the other, he seemed reluctant to trust him.“Why don’t you want Servius to meet you, my Lord?” Aleena enquired.Ezra’s plans, however, were too intricate for him to explain on the spur of the moment. He was waiting to catch the traitors red-handed before revealing himself, and although he trusted Servius, he wanted to exercise every bit of caution just in case things went awry.“I will tell you everything when the time is right, but for now I need you to trust me.” Ezra leaned close to Tanya and whispered his plan in her ears befo
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The bowels of Magaravia
While Tanya and the others were busy hatching a clever plan to trap Esmeralda, Ezra had found his way back to his mansion.Although the thought of heading straight into the royal dungeons was tempting, Ezra knew it was better to be prepared before heading into the dark underground chambers.Ezra used the spare key to unlock the main door and enter the mansion. Patrick had already left, making it easy for Ezra to conduct his experiments in peace.The first thing Ezra did was head to the mansion’s private library. There were over two hundred books stacked neatly across the fifteen shelves, and they covered a wide range of topics, including history, geography as well as monster hunting.Ezra turned up the magic lamps and slid the glass panel aside to access some of the older books bound in red leather. Among them, he soon came across the one he was searching for.It was a book titled, ‘A Brief History of Magaravia: The Royal Palace (vol 2)’. “Let’s see what we have here.”Ezra made his w
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Rat-a-tata-ta
Ezra’s eyes brightened with a radiant glow, and each of the three different types of rodents was singled out, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. A set of three display panels appeared in front of Ezra, segregating the rats according to their sub-species and rank.The smallest ones were the most plentiful and classified as Plague Rodent Fledglings. They were the standard pawns in the rodent army and lacked any kind of special skills and abilities. However, their overwhelming strength in numbers made them perfect for quick rushes.Next in line were the larger rodents covered in long black bristles that protected their thick gray hides. These were categorized as Plague Rodent Hunters and had access to one special skill. Last on the list were the oversized rats whose hides were covered in puss-filled green blisters and open red sores. These were classified as Plague Rodent Gorgers and had access to one special ability and two different skills.Ezra quickly glanced through each
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The monster of the sewers
The Plague Rodents seemed a lot less threatening now that a mysterious new enemy had dispatched them with haste. Ezra tried to use his Dragon Eye skill to scan the dirty stream of yellowish-brown sludge, but he could only peer a few inches below the surface.The murky depths of the stream remained out of view, and the only traces of the sewer-diving monstrosity Ezra managed to pick up were the dirty green slime marks it had left behind near the rusty pipes.“I think now would be a good time to start using your skills. Whatever that thing was, I can guarantee you it will come back for us,” Marlin spoke in an anxious voice.“It ruined my damn objective. Those were my kills,” Ezra muttered, completely indifferent to the threat lurking beneath the murky depths.His words surprised Marlin, who never expected anyone to keep his nerves steady after witnessing something like that. It was as if Ezra was sure he could handle whatever monster emerged from the sludge, even if he knew nothing abou
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Gobble Gobble
As the gargantuan toad stared at Ezra, it inflated the two green sacs hanging under its cheeks, filling them with a dirty yellow bile. Ezra picked up the cue and understood it was about to attack. He ducked instinctively as a blob of acidic spit flew over his head and burned a hole in one of the rusty drainage pipes behind him.“A toad that spits acid and gobbles its prey in one go! What else could we have asked for?” Marlin jeered at his own luck, cursing at the deities for creating such an abomination. “Something tells me this situation could have been avoided if you weren’t so obsessed with finding that treasure!”Ezra stood back up, ignoring Marlin’s remarks. Keeping his eyes fixed on the toad, he conjured another Flame Grenade.The toad’s sacs inflated once again, but before it could hit Ezra with another acidic blob, he tossed the grenade at the hybrid’s face, giving it another nasty burn.Seared by the flames, the Bloated Toadfish backed away to rub its padded feet over its mou
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The last meal
Getting swallowed alive by a mutated toad inside an abandoned sewer wasn’t the way Marlin imagined he would die, but the way things were going, he could see there was no way out of this pickle.“Use another weapon!” the old Gunsmith screamed into Ezra’s ear. “Or just conjure your Shadow Cannon. One fire blast from that ought to roast this toad!”“I can’t use the cannon inside the sewer. The space is too cramped, and I might accidentally trigger an explosion if there are any methane leaks nearby,” Ezra replied, crawling along the ground like a lizard who had just lost his tail.As the effects of the Frost Grenade subsided, the toad started moving normally again. It licked its face with its tongue and launched itself off the ground, powered by its springy legs.“Magic Surge!”Ezra released his charged telekinetic blast just in time to fling the toad away, slamming it into the ceiling.A warning message flashed on Ezra’s system panel.[Magic Power remaining: 50%!][Full passive regenerat
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A total reassessment
Killing the Bloated Toadfish cleared the sewer of all threats, allowing Ezra a chance to finally catch his breath. Although the healing potion had cured his paralysis and healed his bruises, his clothes remained in tatters. Ezra slowly took off his acid-washed jacket and tossed it away. All he had on his back now was a simple white shirt stained with dirt and grime.Never in his life had Ezra expected he would be fighting mutated monsters inside the sewers, but his search for his mother’s treasure had brought him to the bowels of Magaravia.“That was a really close call. Please try to call your Spectral Companion faster next time!” Marlin butted in, interrupting Ezra’s silent meditation.The fight had taken a tremendous toll on Ezra’s body, and even now, he could feel his legs trembling under him.Ezra took a few minutes to catch his breath before heading over to inspect the amphibian’s rotting corpse. As he approached the decaying body, his system automatically harvested the useful

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
