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
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A secret blueprint
Now that Ezra was back in his room again, he had time to think about his next move in peace. Taking part in the tournament and winning allies was only one of his many objectives. However, his main goal was to kill Lord Wilhelm and his son and reclaim Aranor.Ezra pulled out the Mirror of Replication stored in his inventory and tried to use it to write a message, but it was badly cracked down the middle and fogged up so terribly that he could not even see a glimpse of his own reflection.“Where are you, sister? I hope you are alright,” he sighed.Marlin sensed the defeated tone in Ezra’s voice and jumped into a conversation. “You still did not tell me what you wrote to her during your stay in that cell.”“I told her that the Morelises had organized a coup and they were trying to kill her. I also told her that father and I had managed to flee Aranor and would contact her again when the time was right,” he replied. “It was the only way to keep Aurelia away from danger. I did not want to
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Damned Weapons
Marlin gasped as he stared at the objective displayed on Ezra’s floating system screen. Just looking at the blueprint had made him feel uncomfortable, and now that he knew it was for a damned weapon, he wanted nothing to do with it.“I warned you that this might be a cursed blueprint, yet you persisted as always,” he grumbled in a displeased voice, his lips barely opening to mutter his words. “Now, get rid of this thing. Burn it and delete the blueprint saved in your system.”“I am going to do no such thing,” Ezra replied calmly. “I desperately need an enchanted firearm, and if this is the only thing available, then I will go for it without hesitation.”Marlin was shocked by Ezra’s words. Even though it was clear that the Twisted Bonecrusher was a damned weapon, he seemed to be completely unbothered by the terrifying truth.“Are you out of your mind?” Marlin snapped at him. “Why would you want to craft and use a weapon that could pose a greater risk to you than your enemy? Do you want
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A new identity
Ezra was proud of the Romanov name his father had so unselfishly bestowed upon him even though he was an abandoned orphan. However, the same name that was once revered across Aranor was only going to cause him more trouble now.Since Jasenki and Ramel were likely to have their spies and informers in every corner of Valaria, it would not take them long to locate Ezra if he went around Magaravia flaunting his family name and meeting the people in power.To prevent attracting any unnecessary attention, Ezra had chosen to hide his true identity and assumed a new name. The fictitious name he was using right now was ‘Loris Lagerlof’. And this helped him learn the secrets of Magaravia without exposing any of his own.As Tanya and Count Gressil left the mansion, Ezra cleaned his room, re-checked his inventory, and then stepped outside on the pretense of following the Count’s instructions. However, his first goal was to collect his suit from ‘The Silver Thread’.Marlin noticed Ezra inquiring ab
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The first duel
Hearing such a large crowd roaring and shouting put Ezra under tremendous pressure. He remembered the last tournament he had participated in had ended disastrously. The faces of his previous opponents flashed before Ezra’s eyes. Although the tournament held in Aranor was nowhere near as grand as this, all the townsfolk had gathered to watch it. Ezra’s father had high hopes for him and Aurelia was cheering loudly in the crowd, but instead of fighting like a true prodigy, he failed to shoot straight as his arms kept trembling. His rival, another boy two years younger than him knocked him out in the first round without taking a single hit.As all those thoughts crowded his mind, Ezra felt uneasy and anxious. For now, his only relief was that almost no one in Magaravia knew his true identity except the Gressils, and he had a mask to hide his face.The demonic mask allowed Ezra to hide his emotions but it did not block out the constant booing from the crowd. It sounded like the half-elf
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Dual lives
The first round of the Grand Dueling Tournament had kicked off with Ezra’s flawless victory over his elven opponent. But his decision to not fire a single bullet had divided the crowd, leaving many unimpressed and frustrated.However, none of that mattered to Ezra because King Reginald had applauded his feat and he had also managed to attract the attention of the Chief Gunner as well as the king’s Chief Court Mage.As Ezra walked back to his room in the Arcadium, the organizers congratulated him and presented him with fifty Sovereigns for winning his first match. But that was not all.Since Ezra was a new participant with no previous record of fighting in any tournaments, he was permitted to access the shooting range right next to the Arcadium and train whenever he wanted. To ensure that Ezra had all his needs taken care of, the organizers even arranged a room for him at the Firebolt Inn. He was free to use his lodging whenever required and could keep the keys with him at all times.H
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Proof of identity
Ezra thought his passionate reply would move the person standing on the other side and convince him to support his cause, but the mage laughed at his words.“Lord Ezra Romanov! Come to save the day, is it?” the mage mocked. “I cannot believe one of you would try such a pathetic trick on us. But we are not fools here, you sly bastard.”Ezra was shocked to hear the insults hurled at him. He had expected a warm welcome since his father always said the mages from the High College of Mysticism were on good terms with his family, and the Dean of the college, High Mage Ignacious Alavore was a close friend of his father.“What is the meaning of this? I thought you held my family in high regard and had promised to aid us in our time of need!” Ezra retorted in an authoritative voice.The mage on the other side of the wall cast Magic Flight and flew over the wall to have a look at the person who so desperately wanted to get through.“So, you are the little fledging they sent to trick us?” he aske
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Mages’ College
The High College of Mysticism also commonly referred to as the Mages’ College of Valaria was a towering white skyscraper situated right next to Lake Lorana. It was an ancient structure built during the reign of King Rudeus Gerlaine and had produced some of the finest mages in the country.Whenever a child displayed an affinity for magic, but wasn’t born with magic talent, they often grew up to either become sorcerers or train to earn the title of mage.The main difference between mages and sorcerers in this world was that the sorcerers had to swear allegiance to a deity of their choosing and sacrifice their most precious possessions to earn their magic power. Meanwhile, mages weren’t sworn to any deity and derived their power by acquiring knowledge of the arcane through books and manuscripts.Another major difference between mages and sorcerers was that sorcerers expended the magic power flowing through their veins to cast spells and had access to several different types of magic such

Choose your fate
“I never really thought the boy had it in him to keep going after he lost his home,” someone observed in a calm, benevolent voice. “I must admit his resilience is quite impressive for a mortal. Were it anyone else in his shoes, the ending would have been a lot different.”“I knew there was something about him right from the day he was born. Alas, his mother never got the chance to see him grow up,” a feminine voice stated wistfully. “The question remains, what must we do with him now?” the male voice questioned.“I think it is time to leave the choice in his hands,” a second feminine voice spoke aloud. “Wake up, my dear child. Your mortal troubles cannot touch you here. Wake up and choose.”Groggy and disoriented, Ezra slowly parted his eyelids and immediately squinted as the bright white light flooding the room smarted his eyes. Still dizzy and weak, he somehow rolled over and gasped.“Where am I? What happened?” “You are safe inside the Hall of Wandering Souls,” a measured feminine
Sins of Thy Father
“The hour of darkness descends upon this world like a shroud, and the bleeding moon beckons the Lord of Decay to reclaim his lost domain. Come forth and ascend the throne of darkness, my Lord!”Ezra’s heart pounded inside his chest like a caged animal, and his head throbbed in pain as he heard muffled words shouted in the distance. Lying in a bloody puddle on the black marble floor, he parted his droopy eyelids and saw Lord Wilhelm standing behind the altar and Lady Lillian facing him on the other side.Though Tanya’s face was hidden from view, Ezra could see her supple white fingers tingling as her delicate arm dangled from the stone altar. She was still alive, but Lord Wilhelm was already anointing the ceremonial dagger forged from infernal obsidian and preparing to plunge it into her heart.“You…cannot do it. You need the crimson moon to…summon Zepheroth,” Ezra said, fighting the pain.“The hour of our Lord is nigh. And all celestials shall obey his will,” Lord Wilhelm continued cha
Heroes never win
The enchanted nock gun vibrated with elemental energy as Jasenki loaded it with enchanted rounds. The glyphs carved into its stock shimmered and dazzled as he aimed at Ezra.“Scream for me, Ezra!” Jasenki yelled, pulling the trigger.Bang! Fwoom!A fiery barrage lit up the dark pavilion as fifteen fireballs erupted from the silver-dusted barrels. The first hit burned Ezra’s left sleeve, setting his tattered leather jacket ablaze, and the rest of the fireballs charred his white shirt, burning his skin.“This gun was forged by the best Gunsmiths in Stonewell, and enchanted with the rarest of ancient glyphs. No one can withstand its power!”Jasenki reloaded his weapon and fired again, unleashing another flaming barrage.But this time, a barrier of flames erupted around Ezra, cocooning him within an elemental shell.All fifteen fireballs exploded into sparks as they collided with the flame barrier, leaving Ezra unharmed.“Damn you, Ezra. Keep trying your tricks and see how long you can su
Lovers in Crime
Ezra looked at the two Spectral Companions hovering behind Jasenki and Cecilia and realized these spirits weren’t obtained from their ancestral artifacts. “I see you have abandoned your family relics,” he said, carefully analyzing the two specters with his Dragon Eye skill. “These spectral entities are gifts from the Lord of Decay,” Jasenki replied, raising his head with arrogance. “I bet you have never encountered anything so powerful before.”“Go on, Ezra. Call your little Spectral Basilisk, and let us see if it can stand up to our companions,” Cecilia mocked, casting a disdainful glance at Ezra’s tattered brown jacket and muddy black boots. “You still look as beggarly as before. I suppose some things never change. I am so glad I rejected you when I did.”Suddenly, Ezra’s eyes glinted, and his pupils brightened with a bright blue flame that blazed with magic energy. The scar on his chest glowed through his shirt, revealing his true power.Reaching inside his jacket, Ezra pulled out
Hour of Judgment
Following the glowing trail left behind by the Spectral Beholder, Ezra avoided the rot vines squirming in the mire, and the Medallion of Purity hanging over his chest shielded him from the swamp's corrupting influence.Dark geysers erupted around Ezra, spewing molten tar several feet in the air and filling the swamp with a sulfurous haze. The choking odor brought tears to his eyes, but he pushed on through the vaporous veil.The Spectral Beholder led Ezra to a small patch of dry land surrounded by rotting oak trees. As he stepped onto the elevated mound, he spotted a fiery blue orb floating in the distance.Ten more orbs appeared out of thin air, floating through the foggy darkness. At first glance, they looked like glowing power crystals, but as Ezra took a closer look, he realized these orbs weren’t floating crystals or fireflies, but Elven Wisps.The Elven Wisps were unique spectral entities only found in the Violet Everglades. Unlike Banshees and Spectral Wraiths, the Elven Wisps w
Lady of the Swamp
A weary traveler lost inside the Violet Everglades was an easy prey for the creatures of the dark, and Ezra had just encountered one such nefarious entity. But instead of fear, his eyes lit up with a strange hopefulness.“You called out to me in Tanya’s voice, so you must have seen her passing through. Point me toward the Fountain of Chaos, and I won’t kill you,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, without even turning to look at the creature creeping toward him.The creature laughed at his words and rushed through the darkness, moving like a shadow to play with his mind. Her voice echoed from different directions as she disappeared like smoke and danced around Ezra.“You are in my home, youngling. The dark ones told me you’d be coming,” she cackled. “But you won’t be walking out alive. So, forget about your friend and save yourself if you can!”As Ezra stood there motionless, a howling shadow rushed past him and gathered on a dry patch of grass overgrown with violet tulips that glo
Swamped!
The upturned black carriage slowly sinking in the mud, had turned into a feasting ground for the necrophages prowling nearby. But these slimy creatures neither resembled Ghouls nor Drekavacs. At first glance, it was easy to mistake them for Merfolk due to their scaly bodies and fish-like gills. However, their sharp black claws and long white fangs gave away their real nature.About thirteen of them were gathered around the carriage, fighting for the best share of the food and tearing out lumps of flesh from the dead horses lying in the mud. Seeing no human bodies around, Ezra concluded the cultists must have ditched the carriage upon entering the swamp and proceeded on foot from this point onward.“The cultists are already here. We should be careful,” Ezra cautioned the Count as he slid out of the saddle and dismounted from his horse. It was far too dangerous to ride any animal into the swamp, leaving him with no choice but to walk.“We are losing time here. Let’s go in and kill thos
The Everglades dilemma
Marquis Desmond volunteered to stay behind and defend Stonewell while Count Gressil and Aurelia joined Ezra, ready to venture into the Everglades and rescue Tanya.However, as soon as Flavius heard their plan, he immediately objected to the idea.“The Violet Everglades is a perilous swamp haunted by malevolent specters and damned elven warriors who were cursed to roam this world forever. Chaos magic flows in its murky depths, twisting everything it touches and distorting the surroundings. Aberrations and magical anomalies are as common in the Everglades as trees in a forest. It is not wise to willingly venture into that death trap.”“The cultists have Tanya, and they are going to sacrifice her at the Fountain of Chaos. I don’t care about the dangers!” Count Gressil retorted, his fatherly feelings pushing all thoughts of caution out of his mind.But Flavius, being a distant guest, could look at things objectively without getting overwhelmed by his emotions. He looked calmly at the Count
Pieces of the final puzzle
Ezra rummaged through the pile of ashes on the ground, hoping to find that one elusive clue that would lead him to Tanya. But all he managed to get his hands on was a pile of disjointed bones buried amidst the heap.“God, how I wish you were here with me, Marlin. I could really use your help.”The thought of summoning Vorus’ departed soul to this mortal plane crossed Ezra’s mind for a moment, but as he looked at his shattered Mystic Lamp medallion, he remembered the necromancer had destroyed his old relic, vanquishing the Tainted Djinn.“Damn it, Vorus. You are a pain in the behind even after your death!” Ezra clenched his fists, anger, and frustration surging in his heart. Even after killing all three necromancers, he had learned nothing about Tanya’s whereabouts.As Ezra’s pocket watch ticked the minutes away, his heart raced faster and faster. He knew he barely had a couple of hours to locate Tanya and free her before the other cultists sacrificed her.The sound of heavy footsteps m
