Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Six Gateways
Ezra’s shocker of a performance in the last round had raised the stakes even higher, and that match had quickly become the talk of the city. This drew in an even larger crowd for the third round in which the contestants were set to participate in six different dungeon raids.With the spectators shouting and cheering them on, the contestants entered the arena in pairs. Apart from Ezra and Sam, there were five other pairs, consisting of the best Gunners on this side of the world.“Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to another exhilarating round of the Grand Dueling Tournament! Today, our contestants will fight in pairs again, but they won’t be dueling each other. Instead, each team will choose a dungeon and clear it before nightfall,” the announcer’s voice boomed across the Arcadium as trumpets blared in the distance.Moments later, six stone arches appeared in the middle of the arena, each carved out of a different kind of material and having its unique distinguishing features.The one
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Skull Basher’s Grotto
The forest seemed to close in around them as Ezra and Sam headed down the snaking path winding between the trees and hedges. Apart from the occasional chirpings of birds and insects, they could sometimes hear distant howls.Ezra scanned the shrubbery as he trekked through the looping vines and overhanging branches leaning over their path. So far, the coast looked clear, with no enemies in sight. But the complete absence of smaller animals and snakes indicated something was amiss.“Why couldn’t we just be teleported straight to the dungeon? Why would they make us search for this grotto?” Sam asked in an annoyed voice. It was clear that despite coming from a family of peasants, he wasn’t used to long walks through the forest.“They are giving us time to prepare,” Ezra replied promptly before increasing his pace. “I swear these people just take pleasure in—”Snap! Grrr!A twig snapped behind them, followed by a low growl. As Ezra and Sam turned around, they saw a pack of Black Wolf Dogs
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Trolling all the way
Sam’s breath stuck in his throat as he looked at the colossal monstrosity standing in the darkness. It was well over fifteen feet tall, and its arms were as thick as tree trunks. In its left hand, it held a wooden torch, while its right hand was gripping a massive wooden club with a bulging top.“That does not look good. That does not look good at all,” Sam gasped, his voice reduced to a squeaky chirp. “How are we even supposed to get past it? Do you think there’s another way around it?”Ezra pulled out the cork from a filled vial and gulped an Awakened Shadow Wraith Potion. As the bitter black liquid went down his throat and mixed with his blood, it boosted his reflexes and sharpened his senses.Tossing the vial away, Ezra replied, “We are not going around it. We have to kill it.”Sam’s eyes widened at the mere thought of going up against that humongous brute. The troll looked like a giant hunk of muscles, and the club in its hand could easily smash through any armor.The leather wrap

“Let’s get moving. No time to waste,” Ezra said, calling out to his partner.Sam was still frozen in his spot, his heart racing inside his chest and his legs trembling in fear. Even though he had only watched the fight unfold from afar, it made him re-evaluate his situation.“I think I am not supposed to be in here. You just killed that troll effortlessly, but I am not sure I would have lasted even a minute against that brute,” he spoke in a quivering voice. Clearly, he wasn’t too eager to continue his journey through the cave.Ezra turned around and asked, “You know we can’t go back until we clear the dungeon or run out of time, right? Are you sure you want to stay here all alone?”“When you put it like that…I guess I am better off sticking with you,” Sam whimpered like a scared pup and joined Ezra near the cavern entrance that led deeper into the troll dungeon. “Do you reckon there will be more such giants up ahead?”"Plenty more."Ezra picked up the torch the troll had dropped and e
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A Witless Troll Slayer
“What kind of stupid firearm needs to be enchanted after every few shots?” Ezra cursed, his voice laced with frustration as he tried to pull the trigger once again.Yet, even after exerting all his strength, he could not manage to move it an inch from its position. The trigger was stuck, and no matter how hard he tried, it simply wouldn’t budge.“God damn it!” Ezra eventually put the sniper away and switched to his shotgun. He was about to jump down when he saw Sam slowly getting back on his feet.Despite being whacked away by the Cave Troll, Sam looked completely unharmed save for a little dizziness. Even he could not believe he was still alive. There was no way any ordinary human could have survived such a brutal blow.“How…is this possible?” Sam questioned in disbelief as he touched his chest and took a few deep breaths to feel his ribcage. All his ribs were still intact, and there wasn’t a single bruise on his skin.Not only had Sam been whacked away by an enormous bone club, but a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Rock and Troll!
If Ezra’s previous experiences of dungeon raiding had taught him anything, it was that the strongest creatures always guarded the treasure in the final chamber, and this Rock Troll was no exception.“Alright, it is two against one. We can kill this one easy peasy,” Sam huffed, taking things more casually than he should have. Slaying the Cave Troll had worked wonders for his confidence, making him throw all sense of caution out the window.Ezra, however, was smart enough not to jump into a fight without gathering any intelligence. Instead of rushing in for the attack, he scanned the Rock Troll with his Dragon Eye skill.[Dragon eye activated!][Target identified: Ancient Rock Troll.][Type: Heavily armored primal guardian.][Strengths: The Rock Troll is capable of crushing enemies as large as griffins and ogres with its powerful fists. Its rock-hard skin makes it extremely resistant to physical damage. Explosives may work on it sometimes, but the Rock Troll can regenerate from any wound
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Rock and Troll (2)
Ezra felt like the whole cave was spinning around him, and his eyes were swimming with tears. As he looked up, he saw the hazy figure of the Ancient Rock Troll as it pulled back and prepared to charge at him.Unable to stand up straight on his feet, Ezra had only one option left: to roll away at the very last moment and hopefully avoid being crushed under the troll’s feet. But since he could barely gauge the distance in this condition, he was bound to miss-time his move.As the Rock Troll roared and broke off into a grinding run, Ezra reached into his inventory and pulled out a legendary scroll. Raising his head, he lifted his right arm and unfurled the parchment. “Activate Legendary Scroll: Toxic Entanglement!”As soon as he spoke those words, the scroll crumbled to dust and released its magic. The troll was forced to a sudden grinding halt as black vines spontaneously sprouted from the ground and wrapped around its arms and legs, breaking its run.Graoar!”Roaring like an aged lion,
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A Redeeming Treasure
As the congratulatory messages flashed before Ezra, his thoughts went back to Sam. The rookie had done his best to assist him at every step despite having no experience of raiding dungeons. But one cruel blow ended his life in the most anti-climactic way possible.“I am sorry. I should never have allowed you to pair up with me,” Ezra said remorsefully, his voice heavy with grief. He tried to push the boulder off Sam’s back, but it was so heavy it was impossible to move it even by an inch.“Damn it!” Ezra sighed, his frustration ringing clear in his agitated voice. Even as drops of sweat rolled down his forehead and drenched his suit, he continued pushing against the boulder, hoping against hope that he would be able to roll it off the corpse. “Come on! Move already!”“Your partner is already dead! Getting that boulder off his back won’t bring him back!” Marlin interjected, doing his best to calm Ezra and help him see reason. “Sam knew what he was doing when he joined your team and deci

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 gl
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
The pinnacle of power
Vorus was the last necromancer in Zepheroth’s dark cult, and with his death, the corrupted Gunners patrolling the streets of Stonewell lost their powers and crumbled to dust.Every bird, beast, and hybrid touched by the rot succumbed to the same fate as the necromancer’s dark influence dissipated. However, the summoned undead still roamed the lands like rabid predators, stalking and hunting any living prey foolish enough to cross their path.Ezra felt a dull pain rising in his chest as he remembered his first encounter with Marlin. Back then, he had plenty of doubts about the old Gunsmith and wanted to get rid of his cursed eye as quickly as possible.But now that Marlin was gone forever, Ezra felt like he had lost an old friend. Despite latching onto Ezra like a mere parasite, Marlin had quickly grown into a loyal companion. Not only had he taught Ezra the art of Gunsmithing, but also saved his life on more than one occasion. Ezra looked at his arm again, and the scars on his wrist
Marlin's last wish
Marlin’s parasitic grasp on Vorus’ dark heart severed his connection with the abyssal plane, distancing him from the Lord of Decay. However, binding with a demonic necromancer was far more difficult than Marlin had anticipated.Despite being soul-bound to the old Gunsmith, Vorus continued resisting his manipulation through sheer will and an unfailing devotion to the Lord of Decay.“Let go of me, you pompous prick!” Vorus cursed, hurling more obscenities at Marlin as he tried to regain control of his body.But the old Gunsmith restrained him from within, pulling his arms away from his chest. Ezra watched as Vorus swayed like an intoxicated madman, his arms turning stiff and bending downward while his demonic wings flapped around erratically.Vorus’ relentless struggle eventually forced Marlin to lose partial control, and he had to resort to his old parasitic ways again. Instead of speaking directly through the necromancer, the old Gunsmith now spoke through a parasitic mouth that opene
Soul Bound in Hell
**Two hours ago****Inside the Grand Observatory**Ezra blasted his way to the roof of the Grand Observatory, half a mile away from the industrial complex, and immediately encountered five hooded cultists who were making preparations for a summoning ritual.“It’s over. Stop what you’re doing if you want to live!” He barged onto the scene, interrupting their dark prayer.Seeing the blood-splashed Gunner, the cultists stopped chanting and gasped in horror.“It’s the blasphemer.”“The one who killed Lorelai and Malodor.”“He finally found us.”The hooded figures whispered among themselves, casting nervous glances at Ezra. Each of them was holding a human skull and standing inside a chalk circle enchanted with dark runes and cryptic sigils.The oldest among them stepped forward and pulled out an enchanted obsidian dagger from inside his long black sleeve.“How dare you interrupt our unholy prayer, blasphemer?” he bawled raising his voice to a fever pitch. The curved blade of his polished d
Vorus the faithful (3)
Guttural shrieks filled the air as the wyverns flapped their tattered wings and encircled Ezra. The abyss was their home, and anyone foolish enough to stumble into their domain was in for a nightmare.“I don’t need my staff to summon my minions anymore. This abyss is where I belong, and you are not welcome here,” Vorus hissed in his grating voice.The Corrupted Wyverns took turns swooping down and tearing at Ezra’s clothes. Their jaws snapped and ripped his jacket to tatters as they continued harassing him.“I would love to end your life in a heartbeat, but my pets enjoy playing with their food,” Vorus chuckled from afar as he waited for the wyverns to rip Ezra apart, bit by bit.But instead of cowering before the chaos, Ezra stood tall like an immovable fortress with his feet firmly planted on a floating obsidian platform that drifted through the space.With a bone-chilling shriek, the wyverns finally dived down with killing intent.“Dark Surge!” Ezra clenched his fist and shouted wit
Vorus the Faithful (2)
Vorus raised his left arm above his head, leaning his shriveled hand behind his shoulder. “Let this be a lesson for all the fools who think they can prevail against the darkness. You are nothing but a speck of dust in front of the Lord of Decay. And to dust you shall return.”He was about to strike Ezra down with the shadow orbs when suddenly, a bright golden spear pierced his chest, going straight through his rotten heart. “Not so fast, you dirty old bastard!” Aurelia’s voice rang out from afar as she soared over the dark clouds with her Spectral Companion standing guard behind her.The blindfolded angel radiated a divine aura that swept the shadows away, illuminating her surroundings and repelling the corrupted Necro Bats and Stirges.Vorus grimaced as he looked at her. The holy spear impaling him disrupted his dark spell, causing the two shadow orbs to disappear. “I had almost forgotten…about you,” he muttered, placing his shriveled palm over his chest. “Dark Lord’s blessings: Unh
