[Eagle eye activated!] [Targets identified: Goblin Raiders.] [Type: Fast-moving melee units.] [Strengths: Extremely good at countering weaker melee units like foot soldiers and pikemen. Can see perfectly even in complete darkness.] [Vulnerabilities: Weak against ranged attackers and spellcasters. Countered easily by mounted units like Orc Wolf Riders and human knights and cavaliers.] [Threat level: low.] The Goblin Raiders were the fighters of the goblin colony and specialized in melee combat and tracking down escaped fugitives and prisoners. Not only were they physically bulkier than their weaker cousins, but more intelligent as well. Ezra knew handling three Goblin Raiders at once would pose a serious challenge and to minimize his chances of being overpowered by the enemy he called his Spirit Companion to even the odds. Pointing his left hand at the Raider standing in the middle, Ezra commanded his wolf to take it down. The white wolf growled and pounced on the Raider before
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Goblin Champion
Goblins were not the brightest or strongest of creatures and preferred attacking defenseless villages and other unguarded non-human settlements. They usually relied upon their numbers to overwhelm their foes. However, they posed little threat to seasoned adventurers. Ezra too expected it to be an easy dungeon to clear. But all his calculations went right out the window with the appearance of a Goblin Champion. Unlike the low-level goblins like Pillagers and Raiders, the Goblin Champion did not rely on overpowering the enemy through superior numbers. And it wasn’t agile enough to launch surprise raids. However, the Goblin Champion was as strong as an adult ogre and could easily take on a whole adventuring party all by itself. Ezra realized he was in deep trouble, but there was no way out for him without defeating the Champion. If he tried to run away now, the goblins would kill the prisoners who were still waiting for him. As the Goblin Champions spotted Ezra, its lips curved into

Losing its shield made the Goblin Champion a lot more vulnerable to gunfire, but the leather armor strapped to its chest still offered considerable protection against small arms fire. Ezra’s magic bullets had already proved to be ineffective against the brute, but the enchanted ammunition kept his hopes alive. However, the problem with Disintegration Bullets was that they were designed to shatter hard surfaces like shells, metal plates, and carapaces. This made the Disintegration Bullets the perfect option for destroying bucklers and kite shields, but the Goblin Champion’s leather armor was elastic enough to absorb the shock from the blunt-faced projectiles. Ezra knew this too, but he had already thought of a perilous alternative. The Goblin Champion glared at Ezra, its beady yellow eyes almost bulging out of its thick skull as it gnashed its teeth. It knew the other goblins were watching from afar, and this sudden counterattack from its human opponent had brought it tremendous
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System End of the line
Ezra ignored Marlin’s words and walked into the holding chamber. Offering his hand to the little girl trembling in fear, he asked, “Do you trust me?” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked into Ezra’s eyes. The goblins had killed her parents, and she had no family left in the village. She was afraid of setting a single foot outside this holding chamber for fear of being thrashed by the goblins again. But Ezra’s heroic act of killing the Goblin Raiders and freeing them had won her trust. The girl slowly reached out with her trembling fingers, and Ezra grabbed her hand tenderly. “The rest of you follow my lead. We need to find an exit, so keep your eyes open!” Ezra ordered. The women and children followed Ezra as he hurried down the path, pulling the little girl behind him. Large rocks and black dust rained down all around them as the cave’s ceiling shook feverishly. The cracks spread all across the cave formation just like a spider’s web. Another portion of the ceiling colla
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A true Romanov
When the little girl had offered the ring as a gift, Ezra only thought of it as some ornamental trinket looted by the goblins during one of their raids. But his system recognized the rare relic in an instant. Ezra smiled at the little girl and thanked her heartily for this invaluable gift. It was a much rarer item than the soul gem he had been looking for. As Ezra carefully observed the ring under the dying rays of the evening sun, he noticed a snake’s forked tongue was intricately carved on its underside. Ramel turned even more jealous at this sight. He had only obtained a handful of gold Sovereigns from the goblin dungeon he had raided. There were no rare relics or fabled artifacts inside any of the chests he had plundered. “Congratulations, brother. You not only cleared the dungeon but also managed to get your hands on a rare relic,” Ramel spoke pretentiously, his lips barely moving as each word was interjected with short pauses. “Yeah, that is truly a great find,” Robin agreed
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Keep no secrets
What followed next was a whole minute of tense silence as Ezra tried to think of an easy way to deal with this situation. Aurelia had already shut the door, and it did not seem like she was going to let him walk away without an answer. After a while, Ezra finally let his stiff shoulders relax. He looked down and shook his head. “I should not have lied to you. But I didn’t want father to find out.” “Find what out?” Aurelia asked, her voice laced with anxious curiosity. Ezra reached into his inventory and pulled out his enchanted six-shot revolver. Presenting it to Aurelia, he explained, “I crafted this gun at the workbench. It’s an enchanted firearm.” Aurelia could not believe what she was hearing. Although she had never doubted her brother’s magic proficiency, she never expected him to be so good at crafting enchanted firearms. To verify Ezra’s claim, Aurelia grabbed the revolver and checked its grip. She immediately noticed the glowing letters engraved on its notched surface. “

Ezra looked at Aurelia with pleading eyes and whispered, “Please, you can’t tell father. If he finds out, the whole house will know my secret. I can’t let that happen. I don’t want to be treated as a freak again.” Aurelia could understand her brother’s fear, but her concern about his safety proved to outweigh what was at stake for him. “I’m sorry, little brother. But this is for your own good. I trust you, but I don’t trust that parasite on your hand,” Aurelia replied. She was about to call out to their father when Marlin spoke up. “At least allow me a chance to explain. You must hear me out if you truly care for your brother,” he blurted out in desperation. Aurelia could hear Lord Sebastian’s footsteps on the wooden staircase above, but she changed her mind at the last moment and turned around. “What exactly are you? And why have you attached yourself to my brother? What do you want from him?” As Ezra raised his hand, Marlin’s curse eye dilated, and its pupil turned blood red. H
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Trial of the Basilisk
The only Spirit Tamer Relic Ezra had awakened before was the fang-shaped, ‘Lunar Howl’ pendant which had been gifted to him by Lord Sebastian on his tenth birthday. However, awakening that relic was almost instantaneous since it was an old family heirloom passed down through generations. All Ezra needed to do was wear it on his neck and vow to keep it safe. Things were quite different with the ring Ezra had just acquired since it originally belonged to a stranger and had exchanged hands several times before reaching him. Till now, Ezra had only read about awakening Spirit Tamer relics in books but had never had the opportunity of witnessing someone do it in front of him. Even Aurelia’s medallion, which was aptly named, ‘Eyeless Rose’ had been awakened before he was born. Ezra felt hesitant about entering the trial since he knew very little about this new relic and the Spectral entity trapped within it. Marlin was quick to put his finger on Ezra’s nerve. “I thought all nobles wer

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
