Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Magical Regression
Ezra felt like his heart would burst out of his chest as he tried to fight the urge to lash out at those who were trying to help him. Even though he was still in his senses it was as if his body refused to obey his mind. “I…can’t stay here. It’s killing me!” Ezra grunted as his lips darkened and blood pooled in the corners of his eyes, making him look like a creature from beyond the grave. The more he tried to resist the urge to unleash his skills, the more it hurt him.Count Gressil’s guards held Ezra by his arms and dragged him as Tanya did her best to comfort him.“It is going to be alright, Lord Ezra. I am going to help you. Please try to fight the regression. You need to be conscious for this to work,” she said while holding a rose-shaped pendant in her hand and praying to Ishani. If it were anyone else Count Gressil would have ordered to have him shot by now, but since he had a soft corner for Ezra, he allowed Tanya to attempt her healing ritual despite sensing the danger.With
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The encroaching darkness
Five hours later, Ezra opened his eyes to the bright glow of white power crystals illuminating his new room. He was still in bed, and a maid was washing his burning forehead with a damp cotton cloth soaked in healing waters from the Fountain of Erelor.“Wh…what happened?” Ezra tried to get up, but the pain in his head was so unbearable that he could not sit up straight. “Argh…my head!”“My Lord, you should not try to get up. Your body needs time to heal. Rest for now, and let me take care of you,’’ the maid replied. “Where is everyone? How’s Lady Tanya? Did she get hurt?”Before the maid could answer, there was a knock on the door. She got up and opened it.Tanya Gressil stepped into the room and immediately inquired about Ezra’s health. “How is he doing? Still feverish?”“He is doing a lot better, my Lady,” the maid replied, stepping aside to allow her to take a look at Ezra. “Lord Ezra is still weak, but the fever has gone down. He should recover with rest and some good warm meals.”
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A Night in Magaravia
The exhaustion from being drenched in the Magic Rain and then healed with sacred magic gradually took its toll on Ezra’s body, and he soon fell sound asleep. When he woke up six hours later, it was half past midnight and the maid had dozed off beside his bed.Tanya had ordered her knights to stand guard outside Ezra’s door to ensure he would not try to attempt another sneaky escapade. However, thanks to the special item in his inventory, Ezra did not need to use doors to get in and out.Slowly lifting his blanket, Ezra put on his jacket and slipped into his boots. Careful, not to disturb the maid, he walked toward the only window in his room and pulled out the last teleportation scroll in his inventory.“This is my final scroll. Let’s make it count.”“Are you sure you do not want to keep the last one for sticky situations?” Marlin asked.“We will cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I can’t miss the chance to register for the tournament,” Ezra replied and unfurled the scroll
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Trial of Qualification
The big blue tent with Magaravia’s royal flag fluttering from its pole was right in front of Ezra, but the flaming ring separated him from his goal.Most D-level Gunners would have no difficulty surmounting this little obstacle since they could activate their Magic Flight skill to fly over the flaming ring. Ezra however, was yet to unlock this crucial skill since he had only recently reached D-level.Without the ability to fly over the hurdle, the next option was to use teleportation scrolls. However, Ezra had used his last teleportation scroll to sneak out of Verdant Gardens.“You seem troubled, my dear Lord,” Marlin taunted. “Perhaps you can try asking that blood mage to assist you. He seems to be quite good at utilizing portals and he also has a knack of getting you out of sticky situations.”“I do not need any help. I can do this on my own,” Ezra said, clenching his fist and narrowing his eyes on the tent. Even though the flames looked menacing, he was not prepared to back down.Ez
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Grand Dueling Tournament
This was the first time Ezra had registered for an important tournament after his arms had healed. He still remembered the last tournament he had participated in had ended disastrously with his elimination in the very first round.Now was his chance to finally sweep his past away and prove himself in front of the crowd. A victory over here would not only win Ezra the support of the commoners, but also help him build ties with potential allies.With the registration complete, Ezra was now officially enrolled to participate in the opening duels on the first two days of the tournament. This information was conveyed to him by another sparkling display in which King Reginald Aubrey, the reigning king of Valaria greeted him.“Is that the king?” Ezra asked, taken aback by this unexpected encounter.But Marlin quickly corrected his mistake. “His Majesty is probably sound asleep inside his palace. The magical projection you see before you is merely a pre-recorded message. But don’t worry; you m
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Shadow Lurkers
Out here on the deserted streets, Ezra had no one to watch his back except Marlin, and without his body, the old Gunsmith could only do very little to assist him.The City Guards and patrolling Longmans had all left to secure the palace premises, leaving behind a handful of volunteers to guard the city streets. However, Ezra was so far away from the residential areas that he could not call for help. And even if he did manage to catch someone’s attention, there was a slim chance that anyone would put their life on the line to fight the Shadow Lurkers in this blinding darkness.Since Ezra had never encountered these creatures before and none of the texts on monster hunting or dungeon raiding ever mentioned them, he had no idea what to expect.Looking around cautiously, Ezra spotted five pairs of green eyes and clusters of white, needle-like fangs sticking out of their mouths. Since most of the street lamps were flickering unsteadily, he could not make out their other features.“What are
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Shadow Lurkers (2)
Setting his eyes on the next street lamp, Ezra took a deep breath and touched his Lunar Howl medallion to summon his Spectral Companion. The White Wolf leaped out of Ezra’s medallion and howled to the waning moon, its ferocious battle cry drowning the shrieks and screeches. Even though the Shadow Lurkers were beings of darkness, the Dire Howl ability frightened them, causing them to panic and scatter.This brought Ezra just enough time to sprint through the darkness and reach the next street lamp. Once he was there, he caught his breath and surveyed his surroundings again. The next three street lamps were placed at twenty-foot intervals, alternating between the right and the left sidewalks. It created a hazy mirage of light and shade, with only small patches shaded by the trees. Ezra took another deep breath and broke off into a run, crossing the dimly lit path running between the sidewalks. Since there were no cars on the road, it was safe for him to sprint ahead without looking
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System End of the night
Ezra had pinned his last hope on the dimming lights of Quentin Square, but as the last crystal lamp powered down, he realized he was in great danger. He immediately turned back and looked behind him, desperate to find another safe zone.But the street lamps behind him had already turned off and the ones in front were flickering rapidly, their power crystals almost on the verge of returning to their dormant state. Ezra looked around him, hoping to find a house or an inn on whose doors he could knock to escape the clutches of the Shadow Lurkers, but this part of the city had no residential buildings, and the only concrete structures flanking the road were the statues of Valaria’s old kings and stargazing courtyards with open roofs.There were open parks in the distance, and a couple of car repair shops, but not a single soul was stirring at this late hour, and none of the stores had any lights on.Ezra could hear the Shadow Lurkers chittering in the darkness and in the dim light cast by

Vorus the Faithful
Ezra squirmed like a fish caught in a net, struggling to break out of his binds, but the dark shackles constricted around him every time he tried to fight back.Vorus glared at Ezra, his inky black eyes peering into his soul. With half his face obscured by the shadows, he whispered in a cold, unfeeling voice, “I need you to tell me something, Lord Ezra. Was it all worth it? Is this what you had hoped for?”The winds howled around the dark shrine as Vorus raised his crooked finger, lifting Ezra higher and tightening his grip on his shackled body.“Answer me, my Lord. Did Ishani help you vanquish the darkness? Do you still believe in her light, or has your faith finally deserted you?” he hissed like a viper coiled inside a dark pit. Ezra clenched his fist and parted his lips to speak. “You haven’t won yet…and you never will.”Vorus’ face darkened, and his eyes gleamed with all the malice festering inside his soul. “So…defiant. So…naïve…even in the face of death. But your words are as h
An unstoppable carnage
Ezra’s face darkened as 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 foundatio
Cruel forgiveness
Lord Lucius breathed 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 lashing out and cursing 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 own 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 l
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 frost
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 Spectra
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 infront 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 wer
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 with each passing 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 Shado
Rotting away
Destroying the tainted crystal disabled the first 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.E
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
