Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The final favor
Later that night, Ezra set up a meeting with Angelo on top of the Tower of Justice.The leader of the assassins arrived at half past one when the city was fast asleep, and the guards were dozing in the streets. “I hear that you have saved our beloved queen from her madness,” he said, emerging from the darkness like a lithe shadow.“Queen Guinevere wasn’t mad. Someone had put a blood curse on her,” Ezra replied.Angelo took off his hood and stared at Ezra with widened eyes. “A blood curse, you say. The only blood mage I know is your friend Glenn Azarenki. The rest of them have been slaughtered long ago.”“It wasn’t the work of a blood mage.”“Then who was it?”“Duke Carrington’s favorite pet, Esmeralda Blaine. She used a cursed object to achieve her goal,” Ezra replied.Although Angelo had heard plenty about Esmeralda’s wicked misdeeds and penchant for sadism, he never expected her to take things that far. Touching a royal carried serious implications, and it led him to question her mo
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Long live the queen
The royal palace was brightened up with crystal lamps and chandeliers as Queen Guinevere’s return filled the royal household with joy. Servius personally supervised the decorations, rearranging the old furniture and bringing out new ones according to Her Majesty’s tastes.Meanwhile, Aleena and her chambermaid bathed and dressed the queen, decking her in glittering jewels and completing the regal look with a sparkling diamond-studded tiara passed down for generations in the royal family.When Queen Guinevere had recovered sufficiently and acquainted herself with the recent affairs of her kingdom, she decided it was time to take her husband into her confidence.Putting on her soft white gloves and slipping into her extravagant parasol, the queen walked out of her chamber accompanied by Aleena and Aya. They headed straight for the king’s bedchamber, escorted by two Royal Guards.As the doors opened and King Guinevere entered, the guards moved aside, making way for her. King Reginald sat
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The perfect bait
Ezra knew Duke Carrington was a resourceful noble with tremendous influence over the guilds and business houses. He had used all his connections to plant puppets and spies all over Magaravia. This compelled Ezra to adopt a three-pronged approach to deal with his plans.Angelo was the rook Ezra had pushed behind enemy lines to deal with Madam Moonfrey and her associates, including the corrupt recruits from the City Guards.Next, he wrote a letter to Count Gressil with strict instructions which involved him talking directly to the Loyalists and tactfully interrogating Marquis Desmond and his allies.The third and most important piece on this chessboard was Queen Guinevere herself. She was the queen who had been thrown to the frontlines to draw out Esmeralda Blaine and expose Duke Carrington’s involvement in the treason.The stage was all set for the big showdown, and now all Ezra needed to do was wait for the sly vixen to take the bait. ***The next day, Queen Guinevere set out in her r
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Surrounded by serpents
The queen’s words sparked the sentiments of the commoners, encouraging them to support the Crown and have faith in its decision. Emboldened by her promise, the people rallied behind her, ready to stand united.However, not all were convinced about the queen’s goodness. Some skeptics still doubted her intentions and wondered if she was still under the influence of the curse. King Reginald had tried his best to keep the citizens blindfolded and ignorant. Up until a few weeks ago, the people of Magaravia were completely clueless about the undead threat. But the appearance of the demonic skull during the tournament changed everything.All their illusions of safety now lay shattered, and it did not take long for them to realize that Magaravia was in grave peril. Many had lost their relatives and close friends during the attack on the port city of Cekunia and the news of the demon sighting outside the gates of Avondale had proved without the shadow of a doubt that the undead threat was as
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Red Witch Strikes
Queen Guinevere stood there, frozen in shock. She swallowed the air to suppress her nervousness, but Esmeralda could already tell she was scared.“Good evening, Your Majesty. I hope you have not forgotten me,” she spoke in a honey-dipped voice, her gaze softening like a child’s. “It has been so long, my Queen.”Gulping her fears, Queen Guinevere opened her parched lips to speak but could not prevent her voice from trembling. “I…do remember you. Esmeralda Blaine, the most powerful enchantress in all of Valaria.”“Oh, you honor me beyond what I deserve,” Esmeralda smirked coyly, covering her face with the back of her gloved palm. But the act was short-lived. Her lips tightened quickly as she looked at the Queen again. “So, it is true…Lady Tanya Gressil was indeed hiding in Magaravia.”“King Reginald offered her a sanctuary after they captured Ignar and slaughtered the people there,” the Queen replied, slowly regaining her composure. Years of neglect and abandonment had wreaked havoc on
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Guilty as charged
The faceless walls of the empty palace watched like mute spectators as Esmeralda spread her arms and started chuckling like a maniac. “You know, I have killed hundreds before. But I do not enjoy the killing. It’s the fear and nervousness in their eyes that makes my heart sing!” she moaned. “I have never tasted royal blood before. I cannot even begin to imagine the ecstasy of draining your life!”As Esmeralda approached like a hungry predator, Queen Guinevere grabbed a vase from the table and threw it at her.It struck Esmeralda on her head, drawing blood from the left side of her forehead.“You, damn bitch!” Esmeralda rushed at the Queen and grabbed her by her throat, digging her nails into her skin. “I can already taste your sweet nectar, my Queen!” Opening her mouth, Esmeralda arched her back and tilted her head. Her eyes rolled back as she muttered an incantation and began draining the Queen’s life force. Although Queen Guinevere did not possess any magic power, her royal lineage
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Preparations for the final duel
Back at the Blackwell Mansion, Ezra was busy at his workbench, trying to craft a new kind of enchanted ammunition for his sniper rifle.So far, Ezra had experimented with all the common metal ingots and alloys and even tried infusing magic crystal shards and dragon scales into them, but to no avail.Each time Ezra tried to craft a new enchanted bullet for his weapon, he would end up with something so brittle and volatile that it would disintegrate as soon as he loaded it into the sniper rifle.“The Celestial Avenger is a Legendary weapon. You cannot load such low-quality ammunition in it and expect it to work just fine,” Marlin barked once more, grinding his teeth in frustration. “I already told you that you need rare metals to craft your round. Try titanium or refined zirconium.”Ezra loaded another newly crafted round into his weapon and watched it explode with a loud bang before finally relenting.“Damn it! I don’t have any rare metals at hand!”“Then perhaps you can ask your careta
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Challenging the Champion
The next day, Ezra put on his new attire: a fiery red coat with golden yellow stripes and two split tails. His old demonic mask was replaced with a new one sporting two large black horns and blazing red eyes. To complete the look, Ezra added a black bowtie over a clean white shirt and a pair of red trousers trimmed at the bottom, hanging taut over his jet-black boots.Although Ezra hadn’t cared much about his appearance during the other rounds, this time, he combed his hair back, put on a pair of spotless white gloves, and pinned the dragon brooch to his pocket.Holstering his single-shot flintlock on his right hip, Ezra walked up to the mirror and gazed at his reflection.Ezra still remembered staring at his trembling hands in the mirror in the Romanov Mansion. He was treated like a cripple back then and could not even shoot a target lying straight in front of him. But a lot had changed since then.Magaravia knew Ezra as the Red Devil: a formidable sharpshooter who had defeated the b

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
