Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Planning a coup
In the evening, Count Gressil and his Elite Knights returned to the mansion along with Tanya. Ezra joined them in the living room to discuss the next course of action.The look of satisfaction on Count Gressil’s face indicated that it had been a productive day for him. However, Tanya looked troubled over something.“How did things go with the Viscount?” Ezra asked the first question to the Count and Tanya eagerly turned to face her father.Count Gressil smiled and leaned forward with his hands on the table. “Viscount Forell seems quite impressed with Lord Nazarus. He told me he had his doubts about joining our cause before, but after your little conversation at the ball, he feels confident about your plans.”Tanya had already divulged her proposal to her father, and the Count readily accepted her plan. Even though it was criminal to plan something like deposing the king, the idea of replacing him with his daughter seemed to be the best way out of this mess.“I am told that Princess Ale
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A partner for the duel
The following morning, Ezra woke up still dreaming of his last dance with Tanya, and his heart fluttered as her innocent face flashed before his eyes. All he could think of now was protecting her with his life and cherishing every moment spent in her presence.Marlin noticed the lovesick look on Ezra’s drowsy face and chirped in with his witty taunt.“I thought Lord Ramel was the only womanizer in your family. But clearly, your talent far exceeds his. After all, you managed to impress Lady Tanya in front of her father, and he hasn’t even tried to kill you yet.”Ezra quickly snapped out of his thoughts and got up from bed. “You know she is training to become a priestess someday. It’s best if I don’t get too far ahead of myself.”“But you already have, my Lord,” Marlin chuckled back. Ezra did not entertain him any further and quickly slipped into the bathroom to freshen up with a warm shower.***At the breakfast table, Count Gressil showed up with a group of blindfolded craftsmen and
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A dicey matchup
The crowd erupted with roars as Ezra and Sam stepped out of the backroom and entered the arena. Some cheered for Ezra while others took jibes at the young boy beside him.“The Red Devil is back!”“No one can stand in the devil’s way!”“Look at that fledgling. I bet the Red Devil is going to use him like cannon fodder!”“We want to see blood today!”“The Red Devil will crush his foes!”Hearing the cries of the spectators, Sam felt both nervous and excited at the same time. Although a few people were booing him, it still felt good to know they had finally noticed him.To make the event more exciting, the organizers had deliberately decided to raise the stakes for this duel. Instead of randomly selecting an opposing pair through a lucky draw, they had made their own selection.“Ladies and gentlemen, the Grand Dueling Tournament has witnessed a soaring success this year, all thanks to His Majesty’s incredible vision and the efforts of our organizers. I welcome you to the second round of th
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The maze of death
The obstacles and traps deployed inside the arena transformed it into a killing zone. It was a simple yet effective way to force the participants to strategize and come up with smart ideas instead of shooting each other in the face from point blank.Neither Rasher nor Lamier had any clue where their opponents were, but this wasn’t the first time they were fighting together. Since they had taken part in several tournaments and hunting expeditions as a team, this challenge hardly bothered them.While Lamier was reckless and impulsive, Rasher was calm and collected. This added a critical balance to their team, preventing any rash judgments.On one side of the arena, Rasher discussed things with Lamier and devised a plan to set up an ambush.Meanwhile, on the other end of the maze, Ezra continued scanning their surroundings. His Dragon Eye skill helped him detect the hidden traps and scan the path for hostiles. However, Sam being a poor E-level rookie, did not have access to any enhanced
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Triple Threat
The clever use of the Spectral Wraith’s Dark Possession ability shifted the scales in favor of Lamier and Rasher. Ezra had not only lost his dueling partner but was now forced to retaliate against Sam to prevent an early disaster.“Sam, I know you are still there. Fight the wraith!” Ezra yelled.But Sam did not bother replying. Instead, he fired his submachine gun, peppering him with magic bullets.Ezra’s Reflexive Armor flickered as it deflected the bullets, but he chose not to attack the rookie. Fortifying the magic shield around him, Ezra tried to talk some sense into his partner.“Get a grip on yourself. We are on the same team!” He said, straining hard to keep his shield active as it continuously drained his magic power to deflect the bullets. “Damn it, Sam. You leave me with no choice!"After emptying the whole magazine in one go, Sam tossed the submachine gun away and pulled out his dual five-shot revolvers. “Die! Die! Die!”Another flurry of rapid shots lit up Ezra’s magic shie
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A toxic surprise
Ezra tossed a couple of Frost Grenades to conjure an icy wall between him and his opponent. It bought him just enough time to sneak through the maze and find cover behind an L-shaped stone wall protected with sandbags.The crowd which had gone silent a second ago, now started cheering and shouting again. Many of them had shifted their loyalties over the course of the match and decided to support the two highborn Gunners instead of the masked devil.“Looks like the Red Devil was really an amateur!”“Yeah, Lord Rasher and Lord Lamier truly cut him to size.”“Loris should have chosen a better partner for the duel.”“It’s going to be over soon. What a bust!”Seated among the crowd, Kaelan was starting to get worried for his favorite customer. He had never thought things would turn out like this all of a sudden after such a good start.“Come on, Master Loris. You can’t let those snobs win. We have a reputation to maintain,” the elf muttered, praying for some miracle. But from the way things
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An identity crisis
Everyone gathered at the Arcadium was stunned by Ezra’s surprise victory. At one point, it looked like his opponents had him completely cornered. But despite being outnumbered and outgunned, he had managed to come out on top and prove all his critics wrong.“Loris Lagerlof and his teammate Sam Wilrug have qualified for the third round, where they will be taking part in a dungeon raid,” the announcer informed. “For winning this match, Loris and Sam will be rewarded five hundred Sovereigns each. Once again, congratulations to the Red Devil and his partner in crime!”Marquis Desmond looked furious as he stared at the masked Gunner who had just defeated his son. He wanted to order his guards to have Ezra arrested that very moment, but somehow controlled his temper.“You will never qualify for the final round, Loris Lagerlof,” he mumbled to himself. “And I will find out who you really are behind that mask.”Once the match officially ended, the Chief Court Mage, Servius, cast a spell to thaw
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A demonic threat
The rowdy supporters tried to push the guards aside and break through the barricades as they spotted Ezra coming out of the Arcadium. Ezra almost felt like royalty as the people shouted his name and begged for his attention.“All hail, the Red Devil! He is here to crush the nobles and make the Gunners stoop before him!”“We want to see you. Take off your mask, champion!”“Is it true that you are a highborn from an exiled family?”“Are you a necromancer in disguise?”“Please let us shake your hand. I beg for a strand of your hair!”“Who are you really? Are you even a human?”Never in his life had Ezra faced something like this. It was as if the people thought he was some kind of fallen warrior who had returned to exact his revenge.Ezra wanted to avoid the crowd, but one of the men elbowed a guard and broke through. He ran straight toward Ezra and reached for his mask. But before he could pull it off, Ezra pushed him back with a magic blast.“Keep your hands to yourself.”The leader of

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
