Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Princess Aleena
King Reginald had strict orders not to let anyone enter the palace grounds without his permission, but no one in the royal household could dare to refute the words of the princess.Vivette and Aya remained silent throughout the journey as they accompanied Princess Aleena and Tanya to the palace. As they entered through the front gate, the Royal Guards rushed to open the door and bowed like obedient pups.Although Aleena did not like this kind of slavish obeisance, her instructors had taught her that it was all a part of being a princess and it would ruin her image if she refused to uphold her dignity as the only heir to the throne of Valaria.A bronze footstool was laid down for the princess, allowing her to alight from the carriage without soiling her sandals. Aya quickly joined her at her side and held a silk umbrella over her head to shade her from the pitiful gaze of the morning sun.Tanya could tell that King Reginald took care of all his daughter's needs despite not being present
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Orcish Involvement
When Tanya returned to Verdant Gardens it was already afternoon, and Count Gressil and Glenn had just left. Only Ezra was still at home, waiting for her.Entering the mansion, Tanya removed her veil and took off her disguise. She then went straight to Ezra’s room to relay the outcome of today’s meeting with Aleena.Ezra was happy to hear that Tanya had managed to gain Princess Aleena’s trust and get better acquainted with her. However, the fact that Aleena was always accompanied by her guardians created a critical problem.As long as those two were around, there was no way Ezra or Tanya could talk politics in front of the princess or learn anything useful about her bedridden mother. To even suggest replacing her father as the new ruler of Valaria was equivalent to treason and it was suicide to plan something like that while the king’s loyal servants were watching them.“So, how do we talk to the princess in private?” Ezra asked after listening to everything.“I handed her a note before
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Midnight Sabotage
The orcs and the humans had a long history of bloodshed and violence. In fact, apart from the elves, the orcs were the only civilization of humanoids who had waged three wars with the human kings. However, just like the elven kings, even the orcish chieftains were defeated and compelled to surrender.Over two hundred years had passed since the last great war with the orcish tribes, and no human settlement had been attacked in the last few decades. But one could always hear rumors of caravans being ambushed by orcish raiders and travelers getting lost inside the forests and brutally slaughtered by the orcs.While the elves had chosen to honor the peace treaty and co-exist harmoniously with the humans, it was impossible to establish such friendly relations with the orcish tribes since they lacked empathy for all other species and lived for the love of battle.Ezra and Count Gressil knew the orcs could never forget their animalistic instincts and co-exist with the humans, but Marquis Desm

The convoy passed through the western gate and left Magaravia without raising any alarms. The guards quickly pulled the lever again, slamming the iron grate and closing the gate.Ezra and Zala watched from their cozy spot on the balcony but did not make a single sound. They knew if they stepped outside at this moment, it would alert the guards and make them suspicious. Instead of making a sudden move, they waited for fifteen minutes before leaving the tavern.Once outside, Zala approached the two guards manning the gate while Ezra hung back.“Stop right there!” one of the guards shouted.“Where do you think you are going?” another demanded. “Step away from the gate and turn back. All citizens have been advised to stay indoors after dark.”“I am actually new to this city, so I was unaware of the rules,” Zala replied, lifting his hood. “That does not matter. You will obey the laws of Magaravia, or we will throw you behind bars!” the older guard reprimanded. He was about to reach for his

Hissing like vipers, the Undead Nagas approached the convoy with malicious intent. The knights pulled out their battle axes and tugged at their reins, making the horses neigh and raise their forelegs off the ground. It was an intimidating gesture meant to scare off smaller animals, but the Nagas paid no heed to it.“They are undead. You can’t scare them off. We have to fight!” the leader thundered and charged at the largest Naga. With one swift blow, he hacked off the creature’s left arm and sent it reeling back. The others quickly followed suit and joined the fight.Meanwhile, the foot soldiers on the other side of the bridge were forced to adopt a more cautious approach since they were stranded without any mounts. The ones in front raised their halberds to form a defensive barrier while those at the back readied their crossbows.As the soldiers guarding the carts became occupied with the Undead Nagas, Ezra flew down and landed softly on a patch of brown grass. Cloaked by the invisibi
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Elite Gunners
The following morning, Count Gressil was called away by Marquis Sullivan, and Tanya was summoned to the shrine by the High Priestess. It gave Ezra the perfect chance to sneak out of the mansion and head to the Arcadium.Since Ezra arrived early, the Arcadium was still empty save for the City Guards patrolling its periphery and a few elite Gunners who had close ties with the organizers.Among the elite Gunners, there were three humans, two half-breeds, and one of elven descent. However, despite their differences, they treated each other with mutual respect and maintained a sense of decorum.But the moment they laid eyes on Ezra, things quickly turned south. The fact that Ezra was still wearing his mask and had decided to keep his identity a secret, even behind closed doors, annoyed them tremendously.The tall, golden-haired elven Gunner cast a disapproving eye at Ezra and mocked, “You must have a truly hideous face if you need to hide it even from us. I am guessing you are a lowly basta
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Six Gateways
Ezra’s shocker of a performance in the last round had raised the stakes even higher, and that match had quickly become the talk of the city. This drew in an even larger crowd for the third round in which the contestants were set to participate in six different dungeon raids.With the spectators shouting and cheering them on, the contestants entered the arena in pairs. Apart from Ezra and Sam, there were five other pairs, consisting of the best Gunners on this side of the world.“Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to another exhilarating round of the Grand Dueling Tournament! Today, our contestants will fight in pairs again, but they won’t be dueling each other. Instead, each team will choose a dungeon and clear it before nightfall,” the announcer’s voice boomed across the Arcadium as trumpets blared in the distance.Moments later, six stone arches appeared in the middle of the arena, each carved out of a different kind of material and having its unique distinguishing features.The one
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Skull Basher’s Grotto
The forest seemed to close in around them as Ezra and Sam headed down the snaking path winding between the trees and hedges. Apart from the occasional chirpings of birds and insects, they could sometimes hear distant howls.Ezra scanned the shrubbery as he trekked through the looping vines and overhanging branches leaning over their path. So far, the coast looked clear, with no enemies in sight. But the complete absence of smaller animals and snakes indicated something was amiss.“Why couldn’t we just be teleported straight to the dungeon? Why would they make us search for this grotto?” Sam asked in an annoyed voice. It was clear that despite coming from a family of peasants, he wasn’t used to long walks through the forest.“They are giving us time to prepare,” Ezra replied promptly before increasing his pace. “I swear these people just take pleasure in—”Snap! Grrr!A twig snapped behind them, followed by a low growl. As Ezra and Sam turned around, they saw a pack of Black Wolf Dogs

Bloodbath on the battlefield
Corrupted Slashers stood at the top of the necrophagic hierarchy, and despite being similar to ghouls, they were driven by wild hunger and often could not differentiate between friends and foes.A single Slasher could slaughter an entire village, and only trained Gunners could handle a Slasher prowling among a pack of ghouls. However, these undead monstrosities were rarely found in the open and disliked hunting in groups.Strangely enough, Marquis Desmond could already count fifteen Slashers hiding in the shadows. It was a bizarre occurrence, one that posed a bigger threat than a horde of ghouls."There is too many of them," Marquis Sullivan whispered, furrowing his brow. "They must have been summoned by that necromancer to guard this valley.""Well, Lady Aurelia did say it wasn't going to be a walk in the park," Marquis Desmond responded.Count Gressil, being the most experienced Gunner, rode to the frontlines and prepared to engage the enemy head-on.“I can handle these bastards. Jus
The valley of haunting shadows
Count Gressil led the Imperial forces through the treacherous valley, cautiously observing the surroundings. The craggy mountains flanking their path watched on like ancient guardians, their ominous cliffs darkening the skyline.The arid path running down the middle was wide enough for troops to pass unhindered, but there was always the danger of being ambushed from the cliffs above. Count Gressil had known this rugged terrain for decades and was no stranger to such tricks. He could sense that the eerie silence pervading the darkness was merely the calm before the storm, and it kept him on his toes.“Never thought I would have to march on Ignar as a foe,” Marquis Sullivan was the first to speak, breathing some comfort into the tense atmosphere. His eyes scanned the cliffs as he continued riding. “I sure am glad we are not fighting elves. Their archers would have picked us off like fish in a barrel from up there.”“We still are sitting ducks until we cross this valley,” Count Gressil r
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 grand architecture heritage 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 bloo
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 f
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 h
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.Fortunately, Ezra's passive magic regen
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 thi
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 fit
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 s
