Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A message from the capital
Magaravia, the capital of the Valaria, was six hundred miles away from Aranor, and the only way anyone could get any messages delivered from that far was by using teleportation portals or avian familiars. The Red-tailed Falcon which had brought them the scroll with the royal seal was also one such familiar spirit summoned by the court mage. After delivering the message, the bird disappeared into a wisp of red smoke, leaving behind a tuft of spotted red feathers.Lord Sebastian split the seal with a paper-knife and unfurled the scroll. It contained a message straight from the Chief Gunner of Magaravia.With quick and impatient eyes, Lord Sebastian read the note, and as he reached the end, his brow furrowed, and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. “What does it say?” Lord Wilhelm enquired.Handing the scroll to Aurelia, Lord Sebastian replied, “The mining villages near the capital were attacked by wyverns last night. Fifty people have been killed and thirty injured. The Imperial M
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A two-handed policy
The alarming news from the Capital put everyone on their toes. The appearance of a Fell Dragon was a sign of the changing times and the terrible things to come.So far, Lord Sebastian had not received any new reports from Count Gressil, which meant that his forces had either not found anything interesting at the ruined shrine of Zepheroth or their attack had been thwarted by the cultists.The undead threat had become too great to ignore after the Dewdale infestation. And things became even more distressful after the wyvern sighting over Ashgrove.Everyone was now looking up to Lord Sebastian to decide what approach Aranor would adopt to deal with the undead threat.“Now that Magaravia’s concerns have been addressed, we should focus on our own town,” Lord Wilhelm said, breaking the tense silence in the room.Lord Sebastian nodded. “Since Jasenki and Iraka spotted an Undead Wyvern flying over Ashgrove, it is enough reason to believe the undead forces are growing stronger by the minute, a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The darkest night
The town guards were split into two groups. The crossbowmen were tasked with guarding the walls and manning the watch towers while the ones armed with swords and spears were sent on patrol duty.As the night drew its dark blanket over the skies of Aranor, the moon disappeared behind a veil of oppressive gray clouds, and the stars dimmed like dying fireflies.Lester was initially averse to the idea of sending his adventurers out at this late hour, but on Lord Wilhelm’s request, he made an exception, allowing the new recruits to carry out the task.The amateur adventurers had joined the guild with high hopes, but apart from participating in a few dungeon raids, they had never been permitted to do anything worth commending. Thus, when Lester ordered them to go on a scouting mission, they accepted without hesitation.The southern borders of Aranor were protected by the lofty green mountains, and the town’s eastern borders were guarded by the Soreta River. This left only the western and nor
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Undead at the gates
The loud pealing of the brass bells warned the townsfolk and alerted all the Gunners and patrolling guards. People shut themselves up inside their homes, closing off all doors and windows.The merfolk followed their natural instincts and dived into the river to seek refuge in its murky depths. They deemed hiding inside the river a much safer option than cowering inside their shoddy bamboo huts.Meanwhile, the dwarves retreated deep inside the coal mines and barred the entrance with wooden planks. Ivan had already been preparing for such a situation for months by building underground tunnels through which they might escape in the event of an attack.Hearing the bells, Lord Sebastian ordered the Gunners to reinforce the northern and western gates. Aurelia climbed down from the watch tower and reported to her father at once.“What are your orders?” she asked.“We should focus purely on defense for now,” Lord Sebastian replied. “The walls of Aranor will hold against a few skeletons and ne
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Dragon Claw’s might
Lord Sebastian inhaled sharply and held his breath. He waited for the Slasher leading the charge to get close, and as soon as it was within range, he fired his weapon.Crack! Shriek!A plume of red smoke escaped from the enchanted musket’s muzzle as a burning phoenix screeched out of the gun and struck the Slasher, setting it ablaze. As the flames ravaged its body, it burned down to a lumpy mass of flesh and bones.“Mark! Pick your targets!” Lord Sebastian yelled out his command before reloading his rifle.Jasenki and Iraka obeyed at once, pulling back their triggers.Bang! Bang!The two enchanted bullets fired from their blunderbuss rifles struck the ground, exploding upon impact. Each blast took out over a dozen ghouls, ripping them to pieces and scattering their bloody limbs all over the road.Lord Sebastian noticed two more Slashers advancing down the road and quickly reloaded his gun with a different enchanted bullet. This time, he flew even higher into the sky before aiming for
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The fallen Romanov
Ezra could not believe what he was hearing. He knew that Ramel detested him with all his soul, but he never expected him to join hands with the Lord of Decay. “You look like you have seen a ghost, brother,” Ramel quipped, his voice dreary and cold. “You are a Romanov. How could you join the cultists,” Ezra retorted. “The people of Aranor think of you as a hero. You are the knight everyone used to look up to.”Ramel heaved a long sigh and looked up at the dark sky. “All those praises mean nothing to me. I now bask in the glory of the Lord of Decay. His light has freed me from my human limitations and exalted me to a new level.”“What about father? Do you think he will accept you into the family after he finds out what you have become?” Ezra asked.Ramel smiled at this remark. “Which father are you talking about? The one who threw me out of our house? Or is it the weak man who always prefers to bow his head to solve disputes? Perhaps you speak of that man who raised a pathetic orphan a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Fallen Romanov (2)
The situation looked dire for Ezra, but he wasn’t the same boy Ramel had tried to kill inside the training dungeon. He was a D-level Gunner now and had plenty of tricks up his sleeves.“Kill him!” Ramel commanded, pointing at Ezra.The Corrupted Spiderlings scampered across the road, but Ezra held his ground.“Let’s hope crafting you was worth the trouble.” Ezra pointed his weapon’s nozzle toward the enemy and pulled the trigger. The dragon’s eyes lit up as Ezra held the trigger down. Then suddenly, a torrent of searing red flames gushed out of the steel nozzle and flooded the road, setting the spiderlings ablaze.“I think I am in love with you!” Ezra moved forward, pushing the enemy back. The spiderlings tried to flank him from the sides, but he quickly turned his weapon around, re-directing the flame to cleanse his path.Ramel’s eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Ezra exterminate the swarm of Corrupted Spiderlings. It was all too easy for him since the cleansing flames spread a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Betrayal and Deception
Ramel’s hex distorted Ezra’s perception of reality, twisting his thoughts. His heart raced inside his chest, and his legs started shaking under him. He looked around him like a scared little hare, his eyes frantically searching for something.Everything had suddenly turned dark around Ezra. The trees and bushes had all disappeared, and the road in front of him was obscured by dense gray fog. “What is happening to me?” Ezra clutched at his chest, trying his best to calm his trembling nerves, but his heart kept thumping like a caged bird. He felt jittery all over, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop his body from twitching.Suddenly, Ezra heard the clopping of hooves in the distance, and he spun around sharply. A Centaur Brute emerged from the shadows, its eyes gleaming like blood-soaked rubies. Unlike the other Brutes Ezra had faced in the Starlight Forest, this one was armed with a spiky steel axe, and its chest was resplendent with claw marks.“Ezra Romanov!” the Brut

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 intricate architecture 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 blood as
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
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
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.Ezra took a deep breath and grabbed th
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 th
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 fi
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
The first confrontation
Cekunia’s walls had been breached, and the undead lurking in the streets had been wiped out with extreme force. A lone Gunner had led the machines through the captured city and marched straight to its heart.Malodor was impressed by Ezra’s unshakeable resolve and great leadership skills. Despite having no support from the Imperial Army or Royal Gunners, he had somehow managed to bring Cekunia to its knees, and now the port city was wide open for assault.“You did well, Lord Ezra. I must confess I never expected you to make it this far,” Malodor’s wispy voice echoed in the darkness as he manifested like a shadow, floating ten feet above the ground, his withered old frame wrapped in loose black robes. “What do you seek, my Lord? And I mean, what do you really seek?” he whispered in a cold voice, staring into Ezra’s soul.“I am here for Tanya,” Ezra replied bluntly, glaring right back at the levitating necromancer.Malodor heaved an exhausted sigh and replied softly, “That girl belongs t
Malodor's corrupted stronghold
Ezra downed a magic restoration potion and topped off with an elemental affinity potion before heading in through the destroyed wall.The Blademaster Sentries had already gone ahead and engaged the Skeletal Warriors protecting the gate. When Ezra entered Cekunia with the rest of his troops, he was shocked to see how the undead had transformed the port city and turned it into a hellscape tainted with rot and corruption.The huts and cottages were covered in black tar, and the small shacks had been demolished to create room for bone totems that went deep into the ground and tainted the city with their malign influence.The city’s only cemetery had been plundered and razed to the ground, and the feral ghouls feasting on the rotten remains of the dead had turned it into a bloody boneyard.“Damn…This was my mother’s city. This is where she was raised and educated. I remember Aurelia telling me that mother loved watching the ships sail by on a starless night. But they destroyed everything.
