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
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An Omen of Death
As Ezra rushed through the archway, it teleported him back to the arena, and the dungeon collapsed behind him.“Loris Lagerlof is back! He is the first one to clear the dungeon!” The announcer’s excited voice rang like a bell, declaring his victory. “Give it up for the one and only, Red Devil. He proceeds to the penultimate round!”The eager fans stood up, and the crowd roared in support.“I knew it!”“The Red Devil is unstoppable!”“Loris! Loris!”“The Red Devil is invincible!”However, all the cheers died quickly when Sam’s flattened body was retrieved from the collapsed dungeon. Servius used his Planar Grasp spell to pull the corpse out of the archway and bring it back to the arena.“Alas! Sam Wilbur has perished in the dungeon. It is a sad day for us, but such are the stakes of this tournament,” the announcer spoke after a while, breaking the gloomy silence. “Unfortunately, Master Loris Lagerlof must fight alone in the next round. He will not be allowed to choose another partner.”

The festering darkness
Half the Imperial Cavalry was wiped out in the blink of an eye, and all Count Gressil and Marquis Desmond managed to do was watch helplessly as their men fell to another deadly blood curse.Lorelai had outwitted them once again, and there was no telling what other horrifying traps lay ahead.Marquis Desmond and Count Gressil were overcome with grief as they watched their dear friend die right in front of their eyes.“He was a B-rank Gunner,” Count Gressil spoke after a long spell of silence, his throat drying up with each word. “Yet…it seems we are completely powerless against their curses.”“We should have been more careful. It was my fault for allowing him to lead the charge all alone,” Marquis Desmond responded, his eyes still glued to the bloodstained patch of withered grass where his friend had breathed his last.“They even swallowed the bodies,” one of the paladins mumbled anxiously.The fear soon spread through their ranks, and the rest of the troops became increasingly agitate
Bloodbath on the battlefield
Corrupted Slashers stood at the top of the necrophagic hierarchy, and despite being similar to ghouls, they were driven by wild hunger and often could not differentiate between friends and foes.A single Slasher could slaughter an entire village, and only trained Gunners could handle a Slasher prowling among a pack of ghouls. However, these undead monstrosities were rarely found in the open and disliked hunting in groups.Strangely enough, Marquis Desmond could already count fifteen Slashers hiding in the shadows. It was a bizarre occurrence, one that posed a bigger threat than a horde of ghouls."There is too many of them," Marquis Sullivan whispered, furrowing his brow. "They must have been summoned by that necromancer to guard this valley.""Well, Lady Aurelia did say it wasn't going to be a walk in the park," Marquis Desmond responded.Count Gressil, being the most experienced Gunner, rode to the frontlines and prepared to engage the enemy head-on.“I can handle these bastards. Jus
The valley of haunting shadows
Count Gressil led the Imperial forces through the treacherous valley, cautiously observing the surroundings. The craggy mountains flanking their path watched on like ancient guardians, their ominous cliffs darkening the skyline.The arid path running down the middle was wide enough for troops to pass unhindered, but there was always the danger of being ambushed from the cliffs above. Count Gressil had known this rugged terrain for decades and was no stranger to such tricks. He could sense that the eerie silence pervading the darkness was merely the calm before the storm, and it kept him on his toes.“Never thought I would have to march on Ignar as a foe,” Marquis Sullivan was the first to speak, breathing some comfort into the tense atmosphere. His eyes scanned the cliffs as he continued riding. “I sure am glad we are not fighting elves. Their archers would have picked us off like fish in a barrel from up there.”“We still are sitting ducks until we cross this valley,” Count Gressil r
It begins with blood
Ignar had stood tall like an impenetrable fortress, resisting all sieges for centuries. The walled city perched atop the ravenous cliff overlooking the Great Green Sea was a testament to Valaria’s grand architecture heritage and immense military craftsmanship.Count Gressil had controlled this indomitable city for fifty years, fortifying its defenses and recruiting the best knights and cannoneers to turn this into an infallible stronghold. However, Lorelai’s blood magic had brought the city to its knees in one fell swoop.Despite her unconventional methods, she had succeeded far beyond Malodor’s wildest expectations, and now this great city once known for its values of chivalry and justice was wallowing in darkness, its walls and towers stained with the blood of the innocent.Inside the grand hall of Bloodflame Castle, Lorelai was seated on a bed of blood orchids, surrounded by nine pregnant women bound in dark vines.A clay pot in the middle of the room was gradually filling with bloo
Under the Dark Maw
While Ezra was dealing with Malodor and liberating Cekunia, Aurelia and the others were marching on Ignar. Led by Sir Galahar and his Royal Gunners, the Imperial army had finally arrived at Racinta.The ruined city looked inhospitable, much like the rest of the barren lands around it, but it was much safer to be camping inside Racinta, than resting in the open while the undead were howling in the dark.The dome of holy light shielding the ruined village kept the shadows at bay and allowed the soldiers to finally catch their breaths. They had been marching for two hours now, and even the horses looked tired.But Aurelia knew they had to get moving as soon as possible, or Lorelai could use her blood magic to wreak havoc on them.As the soldiers secured the village and gathered in the middle, Count Gressil lit a bonfire and ordered the men to drink up and recheck their gear.Meanwhile, Sir Galahar instructed two of his most trusted Royal Guards to scout the way ahead and scope out Ignar f
Dead men tell no lies
Ezra’s medallion emitted a faint green light, and a cloud of darkness gushed out of its core, taking the shape of a humanoid entity. The Tainted Djinn emerged from the shadows, holding a mystic lantern dangling from rusty iron shackles.“How may I serve you, master?” It asked, bowing its hooded head in submission.Ezra pointed at Malodor’s corpse and replied, “I need to talk to him. Reckon you can arrange a meeting?”“Of course, master. Your wish is my command,” the Djinn replied before moving across the room like a shadow and hovering over Malodor’s lifeless body. It uttered an archaic incantation in its raspy voice and lowered the mystic lantern, allowing its pale green light to illuminate the necromancer’s pale white face.Using its Dark Rite ability, the Tainted Djinn summoned Malodor’s soul before Ezra, binding it to the mystic lantern for a few fleeting seconds.A ghastly gray apparition materialized in front of Ezra, and the air turned cold and arid.“Welcome back, Malodor. I h
Malodor's Fall
A Gunner with a sword was a rare sight, but Lord Sebastian had trained Ezra to use short swords and sabers at an early age. He wasn’t the best when it came to melee weapons, but the situation left him with little choice.“Please guide my hand, Goddess,” Ezra uttered a faint prayer to the Goddess of knowledge before reaching out for the flaming longsword.As Ezra grabbed its handle and wrapped his fingers around the hilt, the flames rose higher, and the runes carved on its surface pulsed with divine energy.This wasn’t just any enchanted sword, it was one of the five divine weapons wielded by the immortal deities. And right now, this blade had chosen Ezra as its new owner.[Yolen’s Blade equipped successfully!][Magic Power consumed: 5000%!]Just equipping the sword drained Ezra’s magic power by half, but that wasn’t all. Each second he held onto the blade it continued draining a portion of his magic power, draining his energy at an alarming rate.Fortunately, Ezra's passive magic regen
An ever-evolving enemy
The Undead Hydra’s incredible regenerative ability amplified Ezra’s problems, leaving him in a precarious situation. In the sky above, the Crimson Maw was rapidly taking shape, forming itself into a demonic head, and Malodor was still far out of his reach.Realizing that he needed to deal with the hydra as quickly as possible, Ezra reloaded his enchanted minigun with Flame Burst Bullets and fired again, concentrating on the monster’s bloated belly.A blistering volley of fiery explosions lit up the hydra as the flaming rounds seared its dark hide, but the projectiles did not manage to punch through its toughened scales.Ezra rotated the weapon, targeting the softer spots on the hydra’s chest. This time, he succeeded in burning a patch of rotten flesh and leaving a deep scar on the monster’s body. But despite being peppered with a thousand rounds, the hydra refused to go down. Its skin molted, regrowing a new patch of flesh covered with a hardened layer of scales.“What the hell is thi
Blinding Haze
Staring death in the eye had become a habitual hazard for Ezra by now, but his legs froze as he saw the Undead Hydra’s serpentine head inching toward him. “Not tonight!” Ezra tossed a Shock Grenade at the hydra and jumped back.The blast zapped the oversized head, forcing the hydra to pull its snaking neck back into the green mist and disappear once again.Although the Basilisk’s Toxic Cocoon was shielding Ezra from the hydra’s poisonous breath, he could feel his eyes burning from the smoky haze. It was as if someone had sprayed pepper on his face, and each time he squeezed his eyelids, tears trickled down his face, stinging his skin like needles.Dizzy and disoriented, Ezra looked around frantically, scanning his surroundings for any hint of movement. But everything seemed as still as death, and the hissing noises had ceased as well.“Where the hell are you hiding? Show yourself!” Suddenly, a hydra head appeared from the left and sprayed Ezra with dark fumes. He started coughing fit
