Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System One shot, one kill!
The time for planning was long over. Ezra didn’t bother waiting for Sir Galahar or Servius to make their next move. He knew the Infernal Lich had the power to sway the odds in favor of the undead, the longer he stayed on the battlefield, so he set his eyes on the spellcaster straightaway.Unfurling the legendary scroll, Ezra whispered in a cold voice, “Activate Scroll: Eternal Hourglass!”As Ezra spoke those words, the letters inked on the scroll trickled down the paper like grains of sand, unleashing a wave of magic that stopped the attackers in their tracks, pausing the flow of time.“I never thought I would live to see such a spell with my own eyes,” Marlin spoke in a trembling voice as he beheld the impossible sight.The ghouls lay frozen like stuffed cadavers, their jaws open and their claws lifted in the air. The skeletons marching behind now looked like statues and the Infernal Lich was still in the middle of a spell, his hands wrapped around a swirling vortex of dark energy.As
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An endless deluge of death
“Pull back! Retreat to the walls!” Marquis Sullivan shouted, turning his stallion around and ordering his men to scatter.While Marquis Sullivan managed the Paladins, Marquis Desmond took charge of the infantry.“Move your legs! Double time it!” he yelled, riding alongside the halberdiers and swordsmen.The three Behemoths behind them continued their march, lumbering through the sea of rotten corpses and shattered skeletons. Marquis Sullivan’s heavily armored paladins were extremely effective at countering foot soldiers and unguarded archers, but the weight of their plate armor and double-handed weapons slowed them down considerably, making it difficult for them to engage in sustained fights.Thus, the swordsmen had been sent alongside the cavalry to protect them from flankers and continue the fight once the enemy’s frontline had been broken.It was a common strategy to let the heavy cavalry trample the enemy’s defenses, allowing the foot soldiers to follow as a clean-up crew and fini
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Abyssal Demon
The Abyssal Demon spread its wings like a dragon, and a long black tongue slithered out of its toothy mouth like a viper. It held the trident like a spear and chuckled in a throaty voice.“Bow before the Lord of Decay, and I shall make your deaths quick and painless,” he hissed, fixing his smoldering gaze upon the city.Ezra snapped his fingers and summoned his Shadow Cannon. Pointing it at the demon, he retorted, “How about you go back inside the hole you crawled out of before I blow you to smithereens?”“I will smite you with the blade of darkness!” the demon glowered, its hoarse voice grating against the stale groaning of the undead lumbering toward the city.Tossing its trident in the air, the demon gathered its claw-like fingers to channel its dark energy into its palms. A malign black orb pulsing with corruption appeared between its palms, and the trident started spinning.Ezra took a shot with his Shadow Cannon, but the abyssal trident conjured a dark barrier that absorbed the i
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A ghastly snare
Ezra loaded three different elements into each of his three Shadow Cannons and supercharged them with magic power. Their barrels glowed with different colors: the one in the middle turning red like a ruby, the one on the left chilly like a cold sapphire, and the one on the right vibrant white.“Time to repeat your lesson!” The Abyssal Demon shrieked, hurling the dark blades at Ezra.“Magic Surge!” Ezra shouted, activating a telekinetic blast that froze the magic blades and flung them away.The Abyssal Demon immediately used its trident to fire a black bolt at Ezra.It would have pulverized anyone else, but Ishani’s sacred relic cocooned him inside a shield of light, granting him complete immunity against the dark attack. Instead of striking him down, the bolt scattered into sparks of lightning, leaving him unharmed.Surprised by Ezra’s resilience, the Abyssal Demon stared at him in confusion. “How do you possess the strength to ward off my attacks? Who are you?”“My name is Ezra Romano
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The endless horde
The undead abominations resurrected with dark magic, continued marching toward Magaravia, led by the Behemoths. Servius chanted a spell to conjure Magic Towers around the city and fortified the dome of light to protect the populace.As the resurrected corpses rushed mindlessly toward the southern gate, the barrier pulsed, emitting a purification wave that annihilated their rotten bodies. The skeletons and ghouls fell in droves as they tried to storm the city, but the Behemoths persisted through it all.The Arcane Blasts emitted from the Magic Towers merely slowed the brutes, but they continued trudging along and advancing toward the wall. Ezra had two targets in sight: the Bone Dragons and the Tainted Behemoths. He knew he could not handle all of them alone, so he chose to rely on his newly tamed servants.“Take down those Behemoths,” he ordered the apparitions under his command.The Dark Wraiths and Withered Banshees obeyed at once and swooped down to tackle the lumbering giants.The
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A promise remembered
The gory past flashed before Ezra’s eyes, and he swore that he would never let it repeat. In a desperate bid to stop the demon, Ezra consumed all the three remaining Magic Restoration potions in his inventory in one go.This sudden influx of magic energy into his body caused his blood to thicken, and his heart started hammering inside his chest. For a second, Ezra turned blue, and the ends of his hair froze like icicles. “What the hell did you do that for? Consuming three potions in such quick succession is worse than drinking poison!” Marlin chastised him.But Ezra remained steadfast in his attempt to contain the magic surging inside his veins. His eyes widened, and he could feel his blood turn hot like liquid fire. Yet, he gritted his teeth and persevered, remembering what he was fighting for.[Magic Power Overcharged!][Current Magic Power: 9000%!]Ezra felt a rush of blood to his head as his eyes turned blue like dazzling sapphires, and the veins on his face became visible like a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The alliance of light
The unexpected reinforcements from the East, coupled with the arrival of the Elementalists from the Mages’ College had saved Magaravia from certain doom. But Tanya knew that things were only going to get worse from here.The undead were known to be relentless attackers, and this defeat was nothing but a minor setback in their grand scheme of things. As long as the three necromancers were alive, they would stop at nothing to destroy the capital.However, Aurelia’s arrival ushered the hope of a new dawn amidst the dark storm clouds. Her reputation preceded her, and even in these dire times, people fondly remembered the girl from Aranor who had aced some of the toughest Gunner exams.As Aurelia set foot inside the capital, Princess Aleena rode out of the palace to greet her in person.“Lady Aurelia, I have heard so much about you. It is good to know that you are alive and well. We are forever indebted to you,” she spoke humbly and welcomed her with a smile. “If there is anything I can do
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Planning an offensive
Aleena took her place on the high throne, and Queen Guinevere sat on her left while Servius stood on their right. It was a special session of the royal court under Aleena’s leadership, and for the first time, the courtiers included a High Mage and an Eastern Overlord.“This royal court is now in session. We have gathered here to discuss and deliberate upon our next course of action against the undead,” Aleena began. “Please feel free to state your opinions, and I promise I shall act on your counsel.”Marquis Desmond and Marquis Sullivan were the first to rise since they held the most influence over the nobles in the absence of Duke Carrington.“I recently received a troubling report from my scouts. All our neighboring villages have been reduced to rubble, their residents slaughtered and sacrificed in mass graves which were used to summon the Abyssal Demon,” Marquis Sullivan spoke.He was soon followed by his friend, Marquis Desmond. “The latest intelligence claims the undead have const

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
