Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Monster of Vespid
The Vespid Swamps had always been notorious for their terrifying wildlife which included several kinds of deadly reptiles and amphibians. It was the reason why most people chose to avoid going anywhere near it.Glenn would have preferred to take the longer route and go around the swamp, but the two roads on each side were guarded by Towers of Corruption.Although the airship could fly above the clouds to avoid detection, the magic crystal powering it had expended most of its energy, and trying to boost its power and increase the altitude again would slow the airship down and prolong their journey.To shorten their travel time, Glenn and Zala had decided to take the quickest route by flying over the swamps. However, this treacherous path also brought them closer to the monster lurking in the depths of the tarry black bog.As the Wind Rider approached the Vespid Swamps, Ezra leaned over the railing and looked below. The wetland was festering with corruption, and every single tree was cho
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Garnock Encounter
A creature like the Ancient Garnock did not belong in the human world. It was a being tied to the abyssal realm, but the scourge spreading across the lands had destroyed the barrier between the planes, tearing open a dark rift that allowed the monstrosity to cross over to the other side.There were no books in Valaria that described the Garnock and no tales on the lips of the oldest adventurers that narrated an encounter with this abyssal being. Yet, Ezra found himself face-to-face with the monstrous abomination.With two of its tentacles holding onto the airship, it looked like the Garnock had its hands full, but as soon as it spotted Ezra flying away from the gondola, its other tentacles emerged from the slimy bog. Wriggling like gigantic worms, the tentacles prepared to catch another prey as the Garnock locked its eyes on Ezra.Thwip!The largest tentacles lashed out straight toward Ezra. But before it could jab him in the head, he blasted it with a hail of magic bullets. The Garno
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Gates of the ruined city
Glenn lauded Ezra’s efforts as he returned to the airship while Zala looked on in disbelief. He was among the few dark mages who knew about the powers of the Ancient Garnock and the threat it posed to any magic user.“Not even the most powerful Elementalist could have survived that encounter. But you came out on top and even managed to kill the Garnock,” Zala spoke with a note of admiration in his voice. “I never believed Glenn when we told me about you, but now that I have witnessed your power with my own eyes, I cannot deny you are truly Ishani’s favored sword. Perhaps there is still hope left for humanity.”“I have to admit I have never seen a Gunner using such advanced skills in battle at such a young age. You are truly a prodigy, Lord Ezra,” Glenn added.Ezra brushed the praise aside and looked westward. “The Garnock was powerful, but it wasn’t too smart. I am more concerned about the three necromancers.”“You will need the help of Elementalists and sorcerers to deal with their da
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Breaching the impregnable wall
No one knew how the ruined city came into existence or what had caused its destruction. But the people of Valaria regarded this desolate ruin as the cradle of human civilization.It was here the firstborns from the old world had gathered all their knowledge and resources to form the first city and lay the foundations of the ancient world.Over the years, several adventurers and mages had set their eyes on this ancient ruin. They came from all across Valaria, some seeking lost treasures and others searching for forbidden knowledge. However, most of the ambitious souls fell before the first wall, blown to smithereens by the magic cannons guarding the perimeter. And those clever ones who managed to breach the first ring fell prey to the numerous traps and curses protecting the city from intruders.Only the most unfortunate souls managed to breach the middle ring and meet the cruelest fate. Those who set foot inside the Blood Orchid ring were mercilessly slaughtered by the dark entities d
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Mysteries of the Black Lotus
The Black Lotus was the first ring of the ruined city, designed to keep sneaky spies and intruders at bay. Being the city’s first line of defense, it was protected by twenty-nine watch towers and three barracks that housed the finest elite soldiers.According to old legends, even the elves and orcs had tried to invade the ancient city of the firstborns. But their armies were crushed by the elite warriors before they could breach the walls.Luckily for Ezra, the guards had perished centuries ago and the only ones still perched atop the towers and battlements were the skeletons of the dead warriors.It was strange to find such a great city in a state of ruin. No one knew what had caused the first civilization to collapse. But some legends claimed the ancient city wasn’t destroyed from outside; but consumed by a terrible curse that corrupted it from within.As Ezra took his first steps inside the Black Lotus, he could feel eyes staring at him from the darkness. Even though the watch tower
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Flowers of demise
The four Forest Guardians stared at Ezra, their hollow bones peeping through the holes in their faces. Only a handful of intruders had been lucky enough to escape their clutches but Ezra was all alone with no one to watch his back.“I see it’s four against one, but I am used to being outnumbered by now,” Ezra huffed arrogantly and fixed his gaze on the Forest Guardian in front of him. “Eat this!” he shouted, firing his gun on full auto.The submachine gun sprayed the Forest Guardian with magic bullets, but the lumbering hybrid didn't even flinch. It would have shredded any other creature to pieces by now, but the moving tree crossed its arms together and resisted the attack with its woody limbs.Ezra continued firing till his whole magazine was emptied but shockingly enough his magic bullets bounced off the hybrid's woody bark like harmless needles.A hundred magic bullets peppered the Forest Guardian without leaving a single scratch on its body. “How is this possible?” Ezra looked s
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Flowers of demise (2)
“Activate scroll: Shadow Army!” Ezra exclaimed aloud, tossing the scroll high up in the air.It unfurled upon reaching its peak and disintegrated with a blinding flash, releasing the magic spell contained within.A hundred shadow clones descended from above and surrounded Ezra. They initially looked like dark silhouettes, but gradually transformed into clones, copying Ezra’s physical features to perfection and even replicating his clothes and weapons.The four Forest Guardians were confused by this sudden increase in their enemy’s numbers. It now became impossible for them to find the real Ezra since all the shadows resembled him perfectly.Unable to understand what was happening, the Forest Guardians started attacking the shadows at random. Their vines whipped through the crowd, targeting multiple clones at once. And as soon as they struck a shadow it disappeared. Ezra quickly realized that though these shadows resembled him in every aspect they could not replicate his movements or a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The tale of the firstborns
The elf’s words painted a completely different picture of Valaria than what Ezra was used to. Every history book he had ever read described the lifelong enmity between the elves and the humans and how the first kings had fought tooth and nail to defend their cities from the elven invaders.There had never been a time when the humans and elves weren’t engaged in a bloody war, and King Rudeus and his ancestors had fought countless battles to push the elven armies back and reclaim the lands from the elven rulers.However, after the last Great War that had lasted twenty years, the elves signed a peace treaty with the humans and promised to stay away from the major settlements. A hundred years had passed since the last conflict, and now King Reginald Aubrey followed a policy of appeasement to establish friendly relations with the elves. Though the old elven royals still harbored hatred against the humans, a few new bloods had started mingling with humans and living alongside them.However,

An unstoppable carnage
Ezra’s face darkened, and something hammered inside his head, igniting his primal instincts. Even though he had done his best to sever himself from the darkness, the tainted elven blood flowing through his veins brought out the worst in him as it mixed with the dark rain.Marlin’s lips dried up as he watched Ezra toss Lord Lucius’ dismembered corpse away like a rotting carcass. The blood dripping down his face hardly bothered Ezra, and he seemed to pay no heed to the necrophages growling around him.A horde of feral ghouls had rushed into the firearms factory, and the place was now swarming with undead, but Ezra focused on the dark tower in the middle of the courtyard.“I am coming for you, Vorus!” he yelled, summoning three Corrupted Cannons.But instead of firing them, Ezra combined the three cannons into an even bigger weapon that looked almost like a terrifying rail gun. Pointing the Mega Cannon at the dark tower, Ezra fired a charged shot.Boom!A powerful blast shook the founda
Cruel forgiveness
Lord Lucius heaved a sigh of relief but still kept his sniper trained on Ezra. “You know, the good ones don’t always win. This is a cruel and unfair world. But at least you tried,” Lester scoffed in his arrogant voice as his war axe grated against the wet floor like a long-handed scythe. “Your father was too self-righteous for his own good. He should have just taken the hint and stepped down while he had the chance. It would have certainly saved us all the trouble of killing him.”Those cruel words stung Ezra’s heart. Once again, he was reminded of that fateful day when he had lost everything. But instead of trying to lash out or curse Lester, he remained as calm as a monk.“My father trusted you. We thought you actually cared about the people of Aranor. But you really just care about filling your pockets,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice.Lester chuckled and grabbed his war axe with both hands, raising it above his head. Cracking his shoulders, he stretched his arms back to lo
Dark awakening
Ezra’s life flashed before his eyes as he stared down the brass barrel of the enchanted hand cannon. Even with his left lung blown out, he still held onto his dying breath, refusing to yield.“Your family should not have insulted my wife and daughter. Look what you made me do?” Lord Lucius grumbled, his voice laced with the malice bubbling inside his heart as he gripped the trigger. “The Romanov name shall never be heard again.”Crack!Suddenly, the sky lit up with streaks of forked lightning, and a thunderous roar shook the ground. Blinded by the flash, Lord Lucius missed his shot. Boom!As the cannonball exploded behind Ezra, the dark gray clouds rumbled and burst open at their seams, showering the city with magic rain.A misty blue haze swept the streets of Stonewell as the downpour intensified. Drenched in the magic rain, Lord Lucius lost control of his powers, and his enchanted hand cannon exploded in his face.“Damn it! Summon Owlbear!” Lord Lucius exclaimed, grabbing his fros
A fallen warrior
The Primal Demon was a hulking mass of muscle and rage, obedient only to the Lord of Decay. Its sheer size was enough to make any army turn pale and flee in terror, but the Imperial Troops were surrounded by ghouls on all sides and had nowhere left to run.“The demons walk among us now. Ishani has abandoned our world,” Marquis Desmond spoke in a cold voice, his eyes glued to the colossal brute glaring at them.“Run back!”“We can’t kill that thing!”“Move!”Panicked voices rang out across the battlefield as the Imperial Swordsmen ran back, fleeing from what looked like certain death.Swish!The Primal Demon swung its burning meat cleaver, slashing a wide arc through the terror-stricken crowd and slicing the swordsmen in half.Blood and guts splashed out in the air as horrified screams echoed into the night. With each swipe of its flaming cleaver, the demon mowed down dozens of terrified soldiers who tried to run away.“Summon Spectral Companion!” Count Gressil called out to his Spectr
All hell breaks loose
Outside the walls of Stonewell, the Imperial Army was nearly spent from the endless fighting. The ghouls and resurrected skeletons kept coming even as the soldiers killed them in hundreds. “I don’t think we can hold them back much longer,” Marquis Desmond relayed in his hoarse voice, his throat sore from shouting commands and organizing his troops. “These things just keep coming. There is no end to their numbers.”“Don’t give up just yet. Ezra needs us to hold the line and keep them distracted,” Aurelia replied, firing a firebolt from her musket. It burned through five packs of ghouls and cleared a path to the Infernal Gates. “Those Lich Kings are doing all the summoning. If we kill them, there will be no one left to raise the dead again.”“The problem is getting close to them,” Count Gressil said, riding down from the frontlines. “We tried shooting at them, but they are protected by unholy barriers. Not even my enchanted bullets could get through.”While the three of them were busy
Mirror Mirror…
Fighting demons was nothing new for Ezra. He had single-handedly vanquished a Flame Demon barely a few weeks back and then held his own against an even stronger Abyssal Demon. However, the Shadow Demon blocking his path presented a whole different challenge.To make matters worse, Vorus had already enlisted the help of a dozen more cultists to empower his spell and prevent the dark barrier from shrinking further. Now, even with one of the dark towers disabled, the spell’s influence continued growing stronger by the minute.Ezra could feel his muscles turning stiff as the decaying influence of the dark spell slowly sapped his strength, wreaking havoc on his body.The Shadow Demon noticed Ezra’s hands trembling as he leveled Lord Sebastian’s enchanted musket against his shoulder and took aim. A ring of blue light appeared in front of the barrel, and as Ezra pulled the trigger, a bolt of forked lightning erupted from his rifle. It crackled through the air and zapped the Shadow Demon, bu
Rotting away
Destroying the tainted crystal disabled the dark tower, severing its link from Vorus. With just two dark towers empowering his spell, the dark barrier shrunk back to the walls of Stonewell, weakening in intensity.Ezra breathed a sigh of relief as the decay slowed down, giving him just enough time to drink another Rapid Rejuvenation potion.Although it wasn’t a permanent solution, the magic brew helped Ezra buy just a little more time for himself.“One down. Two to go.” As Ezra looked outside, the shrieking of wyverns alerted him. The dark ones had heard the explosion and were now circling the skies around the tower.Flying out of there was only going to land Ezra in more trouble, so instead of taking the quick way out, he jumped down onto a broken ledge and rolled onto the rubble to cushion his fall.It wasn’t the smoothest path, and it tore Ezra’s jacket and bruised his legs, but he managed to get out of the tower before the necro bats swarmed in through the hole in the wall.Ezra’s
Shadow of the saboteur
Vorus’ mastery over dark magic, combined with Stonewell’s advanced technology, allowed him to amplify his spell, increasing not just its area of influence but its power as well.Encased inside a dome of decay, Stonewell remained impervious to all attacking forces. The Imperial Army fighting outside was forced to back away and adopt a more defensive approach as the dark barrier expanded, engulfing a good quarter of the vast plains.Even the elves under Flavius’ command ran back to escape the effects of the spell.Ezra, however, had no choice but to push through the city while struggling with the constant life drain. Every second he spent inside the dark barrier leeched an hour from his life, making him age unnaturally.Although Ezra had only been inside Stonewell for a couple of minutes, he could already feel his limbs growing stiff and his skin turning wrinkly and soft.“Why don’t you just attack and kill Vorus directly? Why go through all the trouble of sabotaging the dark towers and
Rot and Decay
Ezra moved like a shadow, his boots kissing the cobbled road noiselessly as he sneaked up to the walls of Stonewell. A barred iron gate guarded by Elite Gunners obstructed his path while an army of Skeletal Archers kept watch from the battlements above.Even though the night was blindingly dark, the faint light from the spectral lamps hanging from the wall flickered in the soft-dying wind, illuminating the city in an eerie glow.In the past, a traveler could hear the grinding of factory gears and the crackling flames of the blazing furnace even from outside the gate, but now this once bustling city had fallen into a deathly slumber. The only sounds that reached Ezra’s ears were the wailing of banshees and the distant howls of feral ghouls.No living creature could survive within the walls of Stonewell while the dark barrier was active, yet Ezra was puzzled to see two human Gunners guarding the gate.“This doesn’t make any sense. How are they fighting the curse?” he mumbled in confusi
