Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Fall of Valaria
Sitting inside a mansion in Magaravia it was difficult to know the current state of affairs in the country since the capital had distanced itself from the other major cities and towns. King Reginald had little interest in the welfare of his subjects and only cared about maintaining his luxurious lifestyle.However, there were influential nobles in the king’s court who looked after the economic and administrative affairs and handled the kingdom’s security as well. Even so, without the direct involvement of the king, the nobles could do little to safeguard the nation.Having spent a few days in Magaravia, Ezra too, had realized that this city was like an isolated fortress, separated from the other human settlements. And there was no way for anyone living here to know the condition of the people outside its walls.“I cannot stay here forever. I need to know what’s happening in Aranor,” Ezra said as he impatiently paced his room, waiting for news from the outside world.Just then, the loud
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Map of Altamir
The shocking revelation about the Staff of Chaos changed everything. Till now, Zepheroth was lying powerless in his own domain, but with his favored weapon back in his possession, he could unleash his dark magic and wreak havoc upon the human world.Count Gressil furrowed his brow and moved his hands over the map, carefully flattening its creases. “If your Goddess speaks the truth then we do not have much time. The necromancers have already captured two important cities and are on their way to conquer the third.”“But Zepheroth needs a host to invade our world,” Ezra intervened. “Without a host, the Lord of Decay cannot travel between realms. He is still bound to his domain.”“Well, that gives the necromancers more reasons to attack Magaravia. By now they must have figured out that Tanya and I have gone into hiding. And what better place to seek shelter than the capital?” Count Gressil’s left eye twitched as beads of sweat glistened on his creased forehead. “If the Staff of Chaos has r

Once Count Gressil left with his Elite Guards, Tanya turned to Ezra to enquire about his health.“You no longer seem to exhibit symptoms of Magic Regression. I think your body must have recovered by now,” she said, carefully studying Ezra’s face.Ezra nodded. “I feel as healthy as a horse. My magic power is well within my control as well.”“I am glad to hear it.” Tanya smiled at him, but she still seemed to be anxious about something. “I…know you must be worried about your sister. But please do not lose faith. I am sure my father’s men will find Lady Aurelia soon enough.”Ezra smiled back and replied, “My sister is a strong woman. She is skilled with her weapons and smarter than any Gunner I have ever met. I know she is fine.”Tanya liked how Ezra chose to remain optimistic even in these dark times. His confidence was infectious, and it rubbed off on her as well. “I am glad we met, Lord Ezra. You are not just my savior, but a great friend as well. I am happy that I have someone to tru
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The road to Silver Springs
Tanya wanted Ezra to accompany them in the motor wagon, but his reasoning had convinced Count Gressil that it would be better for him to ride on horseback. Eventually, Ezra got what he wanted, and they set off on different rides.As the gentle rays of the rising sun bathed the city in golden hues, the people of Magaravia yawned in their beds and opened their eyes to a new day. Ezra was surprised to see how different life was in the capital. He remembered most people in Aranor would already be working by sunrise, but here, everyone seemed to be enjoying an indolent and carefree life. Even the patrolling guards were nowhere to be seen, and the only ones keeping watch were the Longmans lazily riding their mechanical contraptions.Since it was still too early in the day, the guards at the gate did not bother asking any questions and let Count Gressil’s car pass without any checks. Although they poked fun at Ezra for riding a horse, the guards did not care about verifying his identity.

As Ezra rode toward the Kakerons, his eyes flashed red, and his Dragon Eye skill analyzed the carnivorous flowers in the distance. Strings of floating letters appeared in front of Ezra, highlighting the Kakerons and listing all their strengths and weaknesses.[Dragon eye activated!][Target identified: Creeping Kakerons.][Type: Carnivorous, vegetative life forms. (Accursed)][Strengths: Kakerons are extremely sensitive to vibrations and can detect prey from miles away. The acid in their stomach can dissolve bone, skin, and flesh in seconds, allowing them to digest a wide variety of birds and beasts. Since these flowers do not possess any locomotive organs, they rely on their whip-like tendrils to catch fast-moving prey and defend themselves. They are highly resistant to projectile attacks and can regenerate their lost petals in seconds. Unlike the other accursed life forms, Kakerons cannot be banished with spells and are not repulsed by holy magic.][Vulnerabilities: Weak against cert

In his days, Marlin had watched the veteran Gunners take on some of the toughest monsters and come out on top, but they usually relied on their customized enchanted firearms to crush their foes. Ezra, however, had managed to eliminate the Kakeron cluster without using any enchanted weapons.Impressed by his horse riding and the clever use of his newly acquired shooting skill, Marlin was all praises for him.“I have never seen someone wipe out a Kakeron cluster so fearlessly. Most would try to tackle these venomous flowers from a distance, but you are probably the only one who could have executed such a bold move,” he said. “Most high-level Gunners rely on their Magic Flight skill to outmaneuver their enemies, but you are a gifted horseman, my Lord. There is no doubt in my mind that you have what it takes to become the best Gunner in Valaria.”“That was a lot easier than fighting a Behemoth,” Ezra replied as he turned his horse around and joined Count Gressil’s motor wagon.The Count l
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Living in the future
The two mechanical sentries stepped forward and blocked Ezra’s way as he headed for the gate. Seeing their blades drawn, Ezra realized it was best not to antagonize them so he pulled on the reins of his horse and brought it to a halt.“I am here from Magaravia, and I need to visit the town’s governor,” he said, greeting the robots.Ezra expected a robotic reply from the two sentries, but instead of talking they spread their arms and legs and blocked his path. “I guess you did not understand what I just said. I am here to meet the governor, and my need is urgent, so stand aside!” Ezra repeated, but this time in a slightly irritated voice.Still, the sentries did not bother to reply or greet him in any way.Ezra was starting to lose his cool when Count Gressil stepped out of his vehicle and walked up to the sentries. But instead of talking to them, he looked at the watch tower outside the gate and addressed the guard standing there.“You there, get these rust buckets out of our way. I a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A haunted crypt
Milton escorted Count Gressil and his companions to the governor’s office on the second floor of an ancient-looking building which seemed to be completely out of place in a town like this. The current governor of Silver Springs was a lean middle-aged man with back-brushed black locks and a scraggly beard that had not been shaved for weeks. Although he was dressed in a fine gray overcoat and spotless white shirt paired with a black bowtie, it looked like he was in desperate need of grooming.“Governor Creed. You have visitors,” Milton announced, interrupting the governor’s work.The governor was still sifting through official documents when he was distracted by the voice. He hurriedly stacked the papers and stuffed them inside a cabinet before turning around with a frustrated expression.“I already told you a million times not to—”“Good afternoon to you as well,” Count Gressil greeted, narrowing his eyes on the man.The governor was expecting some engineer or construction working show

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
