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
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The return of Lord Nazarus
Ezra's expression soured as he contemplated his choices. He knew he could trust Tanya with his secret identity, but he wasn't sure about Marquis Desmond and the others.“Spending the day with Marquis Desmond and his family will help us win their trust and learn about his political ambitions.” Tanya’s voice prodded Ezra, interrupting his thoughts.His initial thought was to devise an excuse to postpone the meeting. But he knew it would only delay the inevitable and raise more questions.Realizing there was no way out of this mess, Ezra decided to play along. “I have heard about the dueling tournament. But I have never been there. When is the next round?”“It’s scheduled to be held tomorrow and my sources have informed me that Marquis Desmond’s son is among the duelists,” Count Gressil replied on his daughter’s behalf. Ezra had already met Marquis Desmond’s son, Rasher Desmond, and he had come off as a snobbish prick. But he still had no clue about Rasher’s dueling skills.“I met Lord R
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A financial breakdown
Once Ezra had finished explaining everything to Tanya and relayed his instructions to the knight in charge, he handed things over to them and left the mansion.The last few days had been incredibly hectic for Ezra, but now that he was back in the city with plenty of time to spare, he planned on handling his unfinished business.Ezra’s first stop was Golden Brooke Bank, the largest bank in the city that doubled as a reserve for the royal treasury during times of crisis.It was here the tournament organizers had deposited Ezra’s winnings. To collect them, he only needed to verify his identity with a matching signature.Since Golden Brooke was the most popular banking choice for most commoners, Ezra knew he could not visit the bank in his official tournament attire as it would create a commotion. However, trying to collect the winnings without a mask meant exposing his identity to the banker.At midday, as the crowd gradually thinned, Ezra entered the bank and walked up to the counter on
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Lady Fiona’s treasure
Ezra was only a child when Lady Fiona left this world. He only remembered her face in blurry fragments, but her sweet voice was still crystal clear inside his mind. As the cashier led Ezra to the backrooms, his heart yearned to be with his family one last time. At this moment he felt like he could give anything just to meet his parents again.“You know Fiona never told me she had a nephew. But she did talk a lot about her daughter. I think her name was Aurelia. It’s a shame what happened to the Romanovs,” the cashier said as she opened the locker room door and requested Ezra to step inside. The bank had seventy lockers in total, with only three of them belonging to the nobles. Naturally, it roused Ezra’s curiosity.“Who do these other Regal Lockers belong to?” he asked.The cashier turned around and replied, “I am sorry, but we do not share the details of our customers with others. Who did you say you were again?”“My name is Loris Lagerlof,” Ezra replied.“I don’t think you are from
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Queen of the Slums
Over the last few days, Ezra had familiarized himself with Magaravia’s streets, and he no longer felt like an outsider. Even Ashton Alley had lost its initial repulsiveness and become a part of his routine visits.However, as the wagon crossed the stone bridge leading out of Bolter Street, the coachman pulled to a grinding halt right at the entrance to the slums. A large crowd of commoners had gathered on the streets, armed with sticks and brooms.“I am sorry, but this is as far as I can go my good sir,” the coachman whispered in a nervous voice. Ezra tossed him a handful of Scepters and stepped down.As the carriage drove away, Ezra approached the mob and tried to get a closer look at things.“I tell you these Blue Caps think they can do anything they want!” a lean middle-aged man dressed in soiled clothes exclaimed.Another raised his axe and yelled angrily. “We should teach them a lesson they will remember for the rest of their lives!”“Yeah! We should show them we are not afraid o
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Madam Moonfrey’s Secret
Running a profitable tavern or inn inside a shady alley deep within the slums was an impossible task.Ezra had realized long back that Madam Moonfrey made most of her coin from selling stolen wares and smuggling goods.However, the familiar old faces getting drunk in her establishment at the oddest hours of the day meant that she ran the liquor business as a front for her illegal activities. And judging by her attire and the number of helping hands she had hired, it was clear that she was raking in quite a lot of coin.Ezra had no intention of interfering in her personal affairs or reminding her of her moral obligations, but today’s incident involving the city guard made him suspicious about her true nature of work.As Madam Moonfrey guided Ezra to the bar counter, he looked around suspiciously, trying to find clues that would lead him to the right answers. But everything seemed as normal as ever.“I see you have taken a liking to my humble establishment. Remember, if you are looking f
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Incriminating evidence
In the course of his short interaction with Marquis Desmond, if Ezra had learned anything it was that the man was extremely reserved and preferred staying aloof rather than mingling freely with his peers.A connection between the Marquis and a lowly smuggler like Madam Moonfrey seemed highly improbable. But the undeniable proof was right there in Ezra’s hand.“What would you want with a slum-dwelling trinket seller?” Ezra mumbled as he unfolded the letter and held it in front. As he hurriedly ran his eyes over the creased white paper, things became more intriguing. It read as follows:Dear Madam Moonfrey,I send my regards to the Bleeding Roses. You have been a valuable ally and helped us keep an eye on what transpires in the streets and between the sheets. His Grace is pleased with your efforts but advises you to exercise caution.Keep us informed of what the hyenas whisper in the dark, and we will keep watering your flowers. Long live the king! Long Live Magaravia!The letter ended
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Ezra’s arsenal
When Ezra returned to the mansion, the elite knight in charge of security informed Ezra that Count Gressil had left a while back to visit the Viscount, and Tanya had been summoned by the High Priestess.Ezra acknowledged with a nod and enquired about the remodeling work. The knight revealed that Count Gressil had arranged for some decorators and gardeners from the surrounding villages and they were going to arrive the very next day.The only issue was the extensive arrangements and remodeling would take a lot of time. And to get the job done within a day, they needed to vacate the premises.“His Excellency is looking for another temporary residence,” the knight added. “He has requested you to personally talk to the decorators and gardeners before they begin their work tomorrow.”Ezra nodded and instructed him to inform him as soon as the Count returned.Having the whole mansion to himself felt both liberating and lonely at the same time. Ever since Ezra had arrived in Magaravia, he ha

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 wris
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 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. Instead of speaking directly through the necromancer, the old Gunsmith now spoke through a parasitic mouth that opened on Vor
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
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 wi
Vorus the Faithful (2)
Vorus lifted his arm above his head and cast a scornful glance at Ezra. “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!”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 her 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: Unholy Grasp!”The forbidden spell conjured a
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
