Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Undead at the gates
The loud pealing of the brass bells warned the townsfolk and alerted all the Gunners and patrolling guards. People shut themselves up inside their homes, closing off all doors and windows.The merfolk followed their natural instincts and dived into the river to seek refuge in its murky depths. They deemed hiding inside the river a much safer option than cowering inside their shoddy bamboo huts.Meanwhile, the dwarves retreated deep inside the coal mines and barred the entrance with wooden planks. Ivan had already been preparing for such a situation for months by building underground tunnels through which they might escape in the event of an attack.Hearing the bells, Lord Sebastian ordered the Gunners to reinforce the northern and western gates. Aurelia climbed down from the watch tower and reported to her father at once.“What are your orders?” she asked.“We should focus purely on defense for now,” Lord Sebastian replied. “The walls of Aranor will hold against a few skeletons and ne

Lord Sebastian inhaled sharply and held his breath. He waited for the Slasher leading the charge to get close, and as soon as it was within range, he fired his weapon.Crack! Shriek!A plume of red smoke escaped from the enchanted musket’s muzzle as a burning phoenix screeched out of the gun and struck the Slasher, setting it ablaze. As the flames ravaged its body, it burned down to a lumpy mass of flesh and bones.“Mark! Pick your targets!” Lord Sebastian yelled out his command before reloading his rifle.Jasenki and Iraka obeyed at once, pulling back their triggers.Bang! Bang!The two enchanted bullets fired from their blunderbuss rifles struck the ground, exploding upon impact. Each blast took out over a dozen ghouls, ripping them to pieces and scattering their bloody limbs all over the road.Lord Sebastian noticed two more Slashers advancing down the road and quickly reloaded his gun with a different enchanted bullet. This time, he flew even higher into the sky before aiming for
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The fallen Romanov
Ezra could not believe what he was hearing. He knew that Ramel detested him with all his soul, but he never expected him to join hands with the Lord of Decay. “You look like you have seen a ghost, brother,” Ramel quipped, his voice dreary and cold. “You are a Romanov. How could you join the cultists,” Ezra retorted. “The people of Aranor think of you as a hero. You are the knight everyone used to look up to.”Ramel heaved a long sigh and looked up at the dark sky. “All those praises mean nothing to me. I now bask in the glory of the Lord of Decay. His light has freed me from my human limitations and exalted me to a new level.”“What about father? Do you think he will accept you into the family after he finds out what you have become?” Ezra asked.Ramel smiled at this remark. “Which father are you talking about? The one who threw me out of our house? Or is it the weak man who always prefers to bow his head to solve disputes? Perhaps you speak of that man who raised a pathetic orphan a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Fallen Romanov (2)
The situation looked dire for Ezra, but he wasn’t the same boy Ramel had tried to kill inside the training dungeon. He was a D-level Gunner now and had plenty of tricks up his sleeves.“Kill him!” Ramel commanded, pointing at Ezra.The Corrupted Spiderlings scampered across the road, but Ezra held his ground.“Let’s hope crafting you was worth the trouble.” Ezra pointed his weapon’s nozzle toward the enemy and pulled the trigger. The dragon’s eyes lit up as Ezra held the trigger down. Then suddenly, a torrent of searing red flames gushed out of the steel nozzle and flooded the road, setting the spiderlings ablaze.“I think I am in love with you!” Ezra moved forward, pushing the enemy back. The spiderlings tried to flank him from the sides, but he quickly turned his weapon around, re-directing the flame to cleanse his path.Ramel’s eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Ezra exterminate the swarm of Corrupted Spiderlings. It was all too easy for him since the cleansing flames spread a
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Betrayal and Deception
Ramel’s hex distorted Ezra’s perception of reality, twisting his thoughts. His heart raced inside his chest, and his legs started shaking under him. He looked around him like a scared little hare, his eyes frantically searching for something.Everything had suddenly turned dark around Ezra. The trees and bushes had all disappeared, and the road in front of him was obscured by dense gray fog. “What is happening to me?” Ezra clutched at his chest, trying his best to calm his trembling nerves, but his heart kept thumping like a caged bird. He felt jittery all over, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not stop his body from twitching.Suddenly, Ezra heard the clopping of hooves in the distance, and he spun around sharply. A Centaur Brute emerged from the shadows, its eyes gleaming like blood-soaked rubies. Unlike the other Brutes Ezra had faced in the Starlight Forest, this one was armed with a spiky steel axe, and its chest was resplendent with claw marks.“Ezra Romanov!” the Brut
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A fatal negotiation
Ezra stood there all alone against an army of undead led by Ramel. But he knew he could obliterate the skeletal horde in the blink of an eye. The only thing that stopped him from attacking was the gun pointed at his father.Lord Wilhelm and his son were holding Lord Sebastian hostage, and Lester and his adventurers had their guns and crossbows pointed straight at Ezra.The only one Ezra could count on in such a situation was his sister. But she had been led far away from Aranor by the Headless Horsemen. Lord Wilhelm had carefully planned every single step, and now his deceptive schemes had finally come to fruition.“Give up now, brother,” Ramel spoke again, his lips curving into a sly grin and his eyes gleaming with a malicious delight. “There is no way you can win. Aranor’s fate has been sealed, but there is still time to save father.”“He is your father as well!” Ezra snapped back, turning the Shadow Cannon toward his brother. “Is this how you intend to repay him for raising you and
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A tool for bargain
Ezra’s world came crashing down as Lord Sebastian’s lifeless body was dragged away by the adventurers. His life had turned upside down within a single night, leaving him devastated and distraught.“I will kill you all!” Ezra screamed at the top of his lungs, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Jasenki and his father. Even with the shackles on his hand, he looked far too dangerous to be left alone.In a moment of carelessness, the adventurer standing next to Ezra got distracted by the kill, giving Ezra the chance to break free. He shoved his elbow into the adventurer’s stomach, causing him to flinch and stagger back.“Ugh!”Before he could recover, Ezra ran off with his hands still cuffed.Paying no heed to the consequences, Ezra sprinted straight toward the skeletal horde in an attempt to get to Jasenki. Two Skeletal Warriors rushed at him, but he kicked the first one away and tackled the other one to the ground before bashing its skull with his head.“Order your minions not to attack him,”
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Imprisoned
In the blink of an eye, Ezra’s life had turned upside down. He had everything he ever wanted in this world: a loving family, a life of comfort, and a special talent that he could be proud of. After having overcome all the taunts and mockeries, Ezra had proved his worth by joining Dragon Claw. His life-long dream of becoming an Ace Gunner felt almost within his grasp, but Lord Wilhelm had snatched everything he held dear in one fell swoop.Even the one whom he had called his brother had betrayed him. The Romanov family now lay in ruins, and Aranor had been overrun with the undead. Things looked dismal from every angle, and here he was rotting inside a dark dungeon.“Damn you. Damn you all…”Ezra slumped down on the ground, his back pressed into the cold, damp wall behind him. He wanted to scream at someone, but he knew no one would hear him inside this dark prison.“Why didn’t you fight back, dad? How could they just overpower you so easily?” Ezra kept questioning, his mind clouded wit

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 fros
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 Spectr
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 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 were busy
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 by the 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 Shadow Demon, bu
Rotting away
Destroying the tainted crystal disabled the 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.Ezra’s
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
Rot and Decay
Ezra moved like a shadow, his boots kissing the cobbled road noiselessly as he sneaked up to the walls of Stonewell. A barred iron gate guarded by Elite Gunners obstructed his path while an army of Skeletal Archers kept watch from the battlements above.Even though the night was blindingly dark, the faint light from the spectral lamps hanging from the wall flickered in the soft-dying wind, illuminating the city in an eerie glow.In the past, a traveler could hear the grinding of factory gears and the crackling flames of the blazing furnace even from outside the gate, but now this once bustling city had fallen into a deathly slumber. The only sounds that reached Ezra’s ears were the wailing of banshees and the distant howls of feral ghouls.No living creature could survive within the walls of Stonewell while the dark barrier was active, yet Ezra was puzzled to see two human Gunners guarding the gate.“This doesn’t make any sense. How are they fighting the curse?” he mumbled in confusi
The infiltration plan
The Imperial Army advanced like a well-oiled machine, gradually pushing back the undead and clearing a way to Stonewell. The cavalry units rode down the lowly ghouls while the riflemen continued targeting the Slashers.Even the Skeletal Warriors found it difficult to penetrate the defensive circle as the Imperial Swordsmen hacked and slashed through the undead attackers, covering all sides.Count Gressil and Marquis Desmond acted as commanding officers, organizing the whole offensive and charting a course through the madness. Their strategy of supporting the melee attackers with ranged gunfire worked wonders against the undead. However, the tides of battle turned once again as Vorus sent out his fliers to engage the enemy.Dark Harpies and Tainted Beholders flew out of the clouds, catching the human troops by surprise. The riflemen were too busy dealing with the Slashers and this sudden aerial assault left them defenseless.Flocks of harpies swooped down like eagles and plucked the s
The gift of undeath
“Divine Glory!” Aurelia thundered, ordering her spectral companion to use her special ability.As the necrophages converged on the Imperial troops, the blindfolded angel raised her spear skyward, unleashing a divine curse that ravaged the ranks of the undead.The holy light pulsing from her spectral weapon blinded the ghouls and burned their skin, causing them to shriek and crawl back into the shadows. Owing to their scaly hides and tougher flesh, the Slashers resisted the burn but were dazzled by the bright light.Staying in the holy light caused the necrophages to lose their regenerative abilities and dealt continuous damage to their rotting bodies. Their flesh started peeling off their bones as their skin sizzled and hissed.Marquis Desmond realized the enemy was in a spot of bother and immediately pressed the offensive, ordering the Imperial Troops to attack.The Imperial Cavaliers rode out with purpose and trampled down the retreating ghouls while the swordsmen formed a protectiv
