Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Ishani’s floating shrine
A shrine only accessible during the freezing cold winters was something only the first civilization could have thought of. But with the necromancers aggressively conquering the human settlements and tightening their grip on Valaria, Ezra did not have the luxury of waiting that long.Retrieving the Beacon of Purity was the only way to stop the demonic forces. Ezra tried to think of a plan as he gazed at the lake. The monstrous alligator could be anywhere now, and one little slip could prove to be fatal.For a brief moment, the thought of making a run for it crossed Ezra’s mind, but when he saw one of the floating stones wobbling on the surface, it made him change his decision.Ezra realized that he could never reach the shrine safely as long as the alligator was prowling inside the lake.“I need to kill that thing first,” he said, staring at the calm surface.“Now that is a decision I can support wholeheartedly,” Marlin added.Ezra knew he only had an hour to enter the shrine, retrieve
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Inside the sinking shrine
Crossing the lake was just the beginning. Ezra realized the Goddess was not ready to accept him into her abode so easily. And to prove his faith, he needed to survive a baptism by fire.“First she tries to drown her devotees and then burn them alive,” Marlin sneered. “I have to say I am slowly starting to lose my faith in the Goddess.”“But I know she would never harm those faithful to her,” Ezra replied. “It’s time to prove my loyalty.”As Ezra approached the flaming corridor, Marlin became increasingly nervous. “Are you really planning to walk through that fire? There must be another way!”“There is no other way.” Ezra walked into the fire without giving Marlin another chance to stop him. But miraculously the golden flames blazing around him parted as he took his first few steps, allowing him to walk right through them.As Ezra kept walking toward the prayer hall, the flames rolled away, creating a narrow path for him. He followed the hallway and soon reached another door while the
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Trial of wisdom
With the water level inside the prayer room rising rapidly, Ezra only had a few minutes to find a way across and reach the divine relic. However, the magic arrows created an impassible barrier, and even his Reflexive Armor would not be able to survive the barrage for more than a split second.While Marlin’s cursed eye was twitching frantically and looking for a way out, Ezra’s gaze was fixed on the statue of the Goddess. Staring at the pearl-headed staff in Ishani’s hand, he snapped his fingers and pulled out his crossbow.“Do you notice something wrong with her idol?” Ezra asked Marlin. “What?” Marlin sounded perplexed. He was too overwhelmed by their current situation to notice any trivial details about the idol. “Are you seriously examining Ishani’s idol instead of trying to find a way out of this shrine?” he barked.Ezra’s lips curved into a subtle smile, and he aimed his crossbow at the idol in front. “Ishani is the answer to all our troubles.” Holding his breath, he pulled the t
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Between life and death
A numbing coldness spread across Ezra’s body, chilling the blood in his veins. He slowly opened his eyes to a soothing white light that washed over his face like a tide.There was nothing around him except pillars of white smoke and a cloudless blue sky stretched overhead. It looked like a blank canvas devoid of life. The vast expanse of white nothingness made Ezra feel insignificant and alone. Rolling over, he struggled to get back on his feet, but his strength seemed to have deserted him.“Here, let me help you,” a sweet feminine voice called out.Ezra looked up and saw a veiled lady standing before him. She was wearing a white gown and her snowy white locks were decked with pink roses. Her supple white fingers looked so delicate that it made Ezra wonder if she was some princess from a distant land.“Who are you?” he asked, nervously clutching her hand.The lady smiled and replied, “Someone who has been watching you for years.” With that, she pulled Ezra up, helping him get back on
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Escaping the ruins
Ezra had already acquired the relic he was searching for, but he needed to escape the ruined city as quickly as possible. The Cursed Statues were roaming the streets like mindless ghouls, and to make matters worse a few buried ones were rising from the rubble and crawling through the debris.No place seemed safe, not even the shrines and watch towers. The statues were everywhere, and as the night darkened, they started coming out from the shadows and crowding the major intersections and squares.“Now that is what I call, 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'!” Marlin whispered as his eye scanned the ruins.Ezra knew the longer he waited, the worse it would get. It was already past sundown and there was no doubt in his mind that he would have to deal with the undead the moment he escaped the ruins.The only good thing about this situation was the time. Since the sun had disappeared from the sky and the crescent moon was hiding behind a veil of foggy gray clouds, the city was drenc
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A tale of two brothers
Never in his wildest dreams had Ezra imagined he would be running into his brother like this. But for Ramel, it wasn’t a chance encounter at all. He had turned every rock and interrogated every man, woman, and child to discover his brother’s whereabouts.“It is so good to see you again, my dearest brother,” Ramel said, jumping down from his Vanquisher. A lot had changed since Ramel had first tasted the sweet liquor of corruption. At that time, he was a naïve young man, looking to carve out a name for himself and rise above his peers. But now, he looked like one of Zepheroth’s most loyal servants.Ramel had discarded his silken robes for a black jacket and a furry gray cloak stained with blood. Half his face was burnt, and black veins throbbed under his eyelids.The spark of life in his eyes was long gone, and he no longer looked like a part of the living world. It was as if he had sold his soul to the Dark Lord and now only existed as a shadow of his former shelf.Ezra took a long loo
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The call of darkness
As Ramel’s body collapsed on the snowy ground, Ezra’s fingers trembled, and his eyes moistened. His thirst for revenge had pushed him to pull the trigger without any second thoughts. But now that he saw his brother’s body lying on the ground, it shook him to the core.Killing monsters had become a chore for Ezra, but taking a human life was different. As he put his sniper away and landed on the ground, he felt a wave of sadness wash over him. Even though Ramel had betrayed everyone, Ezra could not forget that he had once called him his brother. The memories of those days spent together in training flashed before his eyes, and he felt something tearing him from within.“Why did you have to side with Zepheroth? Why did you betray us?” Ezra pulled Ramel’s corpse by his collar and interrogated him like a stern jailer. “You were a real Romanov, unlike me. You had Lord Sebastian’s blood flowing through your veins. Yet, you ruined everything!”“People are often blinded by their ambitions. It
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A new dawn
Inhaling sharply, Ezra put the golden conch shell to his lips while Glenn watched eagerly, waiting to witness the relic’s true power.Closing his eyes, Ezra blew into the conch, creating a sonorous hum that echoed across the mountain and cleared away the ominous gray clouds rumbling overhead. Light pierced the blanket of darkness like a heavenly lance, and the night miraculously turned into day, waking the birds from their drowsy nests and dispelling the shadows.Astounded by the miracle he had just witnessed; Glenn raised his arms and praised the Goddess. “Ishani is the only truth. She is our guardian and savior. The loving mother who never abandons her children.”Ezra finally opened his eyes and put the conch away, his face brightened with a smile.“I bet Tanya can do something even better with the relic. Maybe this is the weapon that will turn the tides in our favor.”“Its power is truly divine,” Zala uttered in a feeble voice, his breathing shallow and erratic. “I wish…I had found

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
