Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Reunited in Magaravia
Ezra had heard plenty about Valaria’s capital from his father and read about the city in several books, but this was his first visit to Magaravia. It was nothing like Aranor or the villages around it. In fact, it looked far advanced than any city in Valaria.As their motor wagon glided across the streets of Magaravia, Ezra rolled his window pane down to gaze outside. There were no cottages or huts in this city and even the most modest houses had tiled roofs and large oval windows.The other buildings were brightly painted and had multiple floors. Most of them sported glass windows and a small backyard. There were tall concrete structures with dome-shaped roofs as well as stone towers and minarets scattered all across the city.Ezra marveled at the sight of the different shrines, temples, and guild houses. Every architectural wonder had been crafted following a specific style unique to Magaravia. Almost every building had oval windows and open terraces bordered by decorative banisters.
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A tale of blood and sorrow
The long-awaited reunion happened at last, but Ezra’s situation had changed so drastically that he did not feel any joy. It was only a fleeting sense of relief calming his heart as he saw Tanya was in good health. However, Count Gressil seemed troubled, and there was a sense of panic looming in the air.The Count welcomed Ezra to drink a glass of ice-cold lemonade and then offered him some pastries prepared by his personal chef. But Ezra only took a few sips of the chilled beverage before putting his glass down.“I am not in the mood to eat,” he said. “I’ve lost everything. My father is dead and my home is gone.”“I am sorry for your loss, my Lord. I know words cannot console you, but perhaps you will take comfort in knowing that the king has promised to keep us safe,” Lady Tanya replied in a soft voice, doing her best to console Ezra. “Please do not give up on yourself. This tale will not end in despair.”“I…have lost everything, my Lady,” Ezra replied, lowering his gaze. His downcas
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Lady Tanya’s trump card
Count Gressil held Ezra’s shoulders with a fatherly embrace and promised him they would avenge Lord Sebastian’s death.Ezra nodded silently, expressing his gratitude with a half-bow. Now that Aranor had fallen and the Morelises were in power, Ezra did not have too many well-wishers in this world. But Count Gressil’s unwavering support assured him that he wasn’t alone in this fight.“I need to have a word with my informers. You are welcome to stay with us for as long as you like, Lord Ezra,” Count Gressil said before taking his leave and walking out of the room with his most trusted Elite Guard.Soon after, Glenn took his leave as well and promised to return in the evening. For now, he had to return to his house and make arrangements to recover his strength and replenish his magic.Only a couple of knights remained outside the room, leaving Ezra and Tanya in each other’s company.If things hadn’t taken such a drastic turn for the worse, Ezra would have cherished the opportunity to spend
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A room in her heart
The capital of Valaria offered Ezra a chance to begin anew and gradually build himself up to reclaim all that he had lost. It was a safe haven where he was safe from those who had destroyed his home and torn his family apart. But he knew Jasenki and his father would not give up so easily.Although Count Gressil had promised to support Ezra, the man already had plenty of battles to fight on his own turf. He knew he could not ask too much of him and his daughter.Keeping all things in mind, Ezra got up to leave, but Tanya stopped him before he could head for the door.“Where are you going?” she asked. “Do you know anyone in Magaravia?”“Only Glenn and your father,” Ezra replied.“Then where do you plan on staying?” Tanya asked. “This city does not treat strangers very kindly, my Lord.”“I…will figure something out,” Ezra said, with a slight hint of hesitation in his voice. After losing the ones dearest to him, Ezra wasn’t too keen on being around Tanya and her father and causing more t
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A new beginning
Acquiring an enchanted firearm took priority over everything else, but Ezra knew he could not just waltz into any store and ask for a weapon. Here in the capital, even the most affluent merchants and most respected Gunners needed special permission from the Central Council to purchase enchanted firearms and bullets.Despite having a Gunsmithing system at his disposal, Ezra did not possess the necessary skills to craft new firearms from scratch. In order to create a new weapon, he still needed to get his hands on their blueprints.Marlin’s advice about participating in the duels held throughout the capital was a quick and easy way for Ezra to acquire a firearm and even get his shot at earning some extra coin. However, there was one small problem: he still needed a gun to challenge his opponent in the duel.“I need to acquire a gun to take part in any duel. But they took my coin purse before throwing me in the dungeon, and now I am nothing more than a pauper,” Ezra said to Marlin.The o
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Keep it a secret
Ezra followed the shopkeeper to the spacious corner with the mirror, and the man took his measurements with two silver threads. “You have a good physique, and your hands do not have any calluses or bruises,” he said, scrutinizing Ezra. “I think your family must be quite well off. Perhaps you are the son of a famous merchant from your town.”“I am just an orphan. I joined the guild at an early age, and the Elders were kind enough to let me stay,” Ezra replied.But the shop owner did not seem too convinced. As he was measuring Ezra’s calves and ankles, he became a little suspicious about the whole thing. “So…why did you decide to take part in this tournament if this is against the rules of your clan?”“I love my clan a lot, but I have always dreamed of meeting the king and being allowed to enter his court. I wish to become one of his Elite Gunners and serve the country,” Ezra replied, doing his best to make it sound genuine.“And you are sure you can defeat your rivals?” the man asked.
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Madam Moonfrey's Exotic Supplies
The gray-haired woman welcomed Ezra inside a run-down tavern with squeaky wooden floorboards and damp, dilapidated walls covered in cobwebs. One look was enough for anyone to tell that the place had seen better days. But the people sitting on those old wooden chairs and chattering away their cares did not seem to mind their sordid surroundings.A plump barmaid with a bountiful bosom was shuffling plates across the tables and scooping up empty flasks reeking of cheap liquor.As Ezra stepped into the light, the people around him started talking in hushed whispers. Some looked at him suspiciously while others regarded him with utter disinterest and continued munching on their unsalted peanuts and soggy pretzels.The gray-haired woman guided Ezra to the bar counter and walked in through a flimsy wooden gate to stand opposite to him.“I take it you are new in town, boy. So…where are you from? And what brings you to these parts?” she asked, regarding Ezra with curiosity.“I am from a town t
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The lady in red
The people in the tavern immediately stopped chattering, and Madam Moonfrey became alert and defensive. She quickly closed the potions cabinet and ordered her helping hands to get busy.Ezra turned toward the door as an enchanting female voice called out to the owner. “Good evening, my dearest Moony. It has been a while. How are things in your secret shop?”There was hardly a soul in Ashton Alley to call Madam Moonfrey by her childhood nickname, but the woman who had just entered the tavern seemed to have a certain power over her.The lady who had just stepped into the tavern was dressed in a dazzling red cloak draped over fine silk robes. Her eyes were fiery red, and her curly tresses the shade of burnt amber. She looked older than thirty, but her skin was dewy and smooth, and her cheeks rosy and devoid of any wrinkles or fine lines.Some of the younger men blushed as they laid eyes on the beautiful woman in red while others looked away in fear.“Welcome, Esme. It has been a while,” M

Choose your fate
“I never really thought the boy had it in him to keep going after he lost his home,” someone observed in a calm, benevolent voice. “I must admit his resilience is quite impressive for a mortal. Were it anyone else in his shoes, the ending would have been a lot different.”“I knew there was something about him right from the day he was born. Alas, his mother never got the chance to see him grow up,” a feminine voice stated wistfully. “The question remains, what must we do with him now?” the male voice questioned.“I think it is time to leave the choice in his hands,” a second feminine voice spoke aloud. “Wake up, my dear child. Your mortal troubles cannot touch you here. Wake up and choose.”Groggy and disoriented, Ezra slowly parted his eyelids and immediately squinted as the bright white light flooding the room smarted his eyes. Still dizzy and weak, he somehow rolled over and gasped.“Where am I? What happened?” “You are safe inside the Hall of Wandering Souls,” a measured feminine
Sins of Thy Father
“The hour of darkness descends upon this world like a shroud, and the bleeding moon beckons the Lord of Decay to reclaim his lost domain. Come forth and ascend the throne of darkness, my Lord!”Ezra’s heart pounded inside his chest like a caged animal, and his head throbbed in pain as he heard muffled words shouted in the distance. Lying in a bloody puddle on the black marble floor, he parted his droopy eyelids and saw Lord Wilhelm standing behind the altar and Lady Lillian facing him on the other side.Though Tanya’s face was hidden from view, Ezra could see her supple white fingers tingling as her delicate arm dangled from the stone altar. She was still alive, but Lord Wilhelm was already anointing the ceremonial dagger forged from infernal obsidian and preparing to plunge it into her heart.“You…cannot do it. You need the crimson moon to…summon Zepheroth,” Ezra said, fighting the pain.“The hour of our Lord is nigh. And all celestials shall obey his will,” Lord Wilhelm continued cha
Heroes never win
The enchanted nock gun vibrated with elemental energy as Jasenki loaded it with enchanted rounds. The glyphs carved into its stock shimmered and dazzled as he aimed at Ezra.“Scream for me, Ezra!” Jasenki yelled, pulling the trigger.Bang! Fwoom!A fiery barrage lit up the dark pavilion as fifteen fireballs erupted from the silver-dusted barrels. The first hit burned Ezra’s left sleeve, setting his tattered leather jacket ablaze, and the rest of the fireballs charred his white shirt, burning his skin.“This gun was forged by the best Gunsmiths in Stonewell, and enchanted with the rarest of ancient glyphs. No one can withstand its power!”Jasenki reloaded his weapon and fired again, unleashing another flaming barrage.But this time, a barrier of flames erupted around Ezra, cocooning him within an elemental shell.All fifteen fireballs exploded into sparks as they collided with the flame barrier, leaving Ezra unharmed.“Damn you, Ezra. Keep trying your tricks and see how long you can su
Lovers in Crime
Ezra looked at the two Spectral Companions hovering behind Jasenki and Cecilia and realized these spirits weren’t obtained from their ancestral artifacts. “I see you have abandoned your family relics,” he said, carefully analyzing the two specters with his Dragon Eye skill. “These spectral entities are gifts from the Lord of Decay,” Jasenki replied, raising his head with arrogance. “I bet you have never encountered anything so powerful before.”“Go on, Ezra. Call your little Spectral Basilisk, and let us see if it can stand up to our companions,” Cecilia mocked, casting a disdainful glance at Ezra’s tattered brown jacket and muddy black boots. “You still look as beggarly as before. I suppose some things never change. I am so glad I rejected you when I did.”Suddenly, Ezra’s eyes glinted, and his pupils brightened with a bright blue flame that blazed with magic energy. The scar on his chest glowed through his shirt, revealing his true power.Reaching inside his jacket, Ezra pulled out
Hour of Judgment
Following the glowing trail left behind by the Spectral Beholder, Ezra avoided the rot vines squirming in the mire, and the Medallion of Purity hanging over his chest shielded him from the swamp's corrupting influence.Dark geysers erupted around Ezra, spewing molten tar several feet in the air and filling the swamp with a sulfurous haze. The choking odor brought tears to his eyes, but he pushed on through the vaporous veil.The Spectral Beholder led Ezra to a small patch of dry land surrounded by rotting oak trees. As he stepped onto the elevated mound, he spotted a fiery blue orb floating in the distance.Ten more orbs appeared out of thin air, floating through the foggy darkness. At first glance, they looked like glowing power crystals, but as Ezra took a closer look, he realized these orbs weren’t floating crystals or fireflies, but Elven Wisps.The Elven Wisps were unique spectral entities only found in the Violet Everglades. Unlike Banshees and Spectral Wraiths, the Elven Wisps w
Lady of the Swamp
A weary traveler lost inside the Violet Everglades was an easy prey for the creatures of the dark, and Ezra had just encountered one such nefarious entity. But instead of fear, his eyes lit up with a strange hopefulness.“You called out to me in Tanya’s voice, so you must have seen her passing through. Point me toward the Fountain of Chaos, and I won’t kill you,” he spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, without even turning to look at the creature creeping toward him.The creature laughed at his words and rushed through the darkness, moving like a shadow to play with his mind. Her voice echoed from different directions as she disappeared like smoke and danced around Ezra.“You are in my home, youngling. The dark ones told me you’d be coming,” she cackled. “But you won’t be walking out alive. So, forget about your friend and save yourself if you can!”As Ezra stood there motionless, a howling shadow rushed past him and gathered on a dry patch of grass overgrown with violet tulips that glo
Swamped!
The upturned black carriage slowly sinking in the mud, had turned into a feasting ground for the necrophages prowling nearby. But these slimy creatures neither resembled Ghouls nor Drekavacs. At first glance, it was easy to mistake them for Merfolk due to their scaly bodies and fish-like gills. However, their sharp black claws and long white fangs gave away their real nature.About thirteen of them were gathered around the carriage, fighting for the best share of the food and tearing out lumps of flesh from the dead horses lying in the mud. Seeing no human bodies around, Ezra concluded the cultists must have ditched the carriage upon entering the swamp and proceeded on foot from this point onward.“The cultists are already here. We should be careful,” Ezra cautioned the Count as he slid out of the saddle and dismounted from his horse. It was far too dangerous to ride any animal into the swamp, leaving him with no choice but to walk.“We are losing time here. Let’s go in and kill thos
The Everglades dilemma
Marquis Desmond volunteered to stay behind and defend Stonewell while Count Gressil and Aurelia joined Ezra, ready to venture into the Everglades and rescue Tanya.However, as soon as Flavius heard their plan, he immediately objected to the idea.“The Violet Everglades is a perilous swamp haunted by malevolent specters and damned elven warriors who were cursed to roam this world forever. Chaos magic flows in its murky depths, twisting everything it touches and distorting the surroundings. Aberrations and magical anomalies are as common in the Everglades as trees in a forest. It is not wise to willingly venture into that death trap.”“The cultists have Tanya, and they are going to sacrifice her at the Fountain of Chaos. I don’t care about the dangers!” Count Gressil retorted, his fatherly feelings pushing all thoughts of caution out of his mind.But Flavius, being a distant guest, could look at things objectively without getting overwhelmed by his emotions. He looked calmly at the Count
Pieces of the final puzzle
Ezra rummaged through the pile of ashes on the ground, hoping to find that one elusive clue that would lead him to Tanya. But all he managed to get his hands on was a pile of disjointed bones buried amidst the heap.“God, how I wish you were here with me, Marlin. I could really use your help.”The thought of summoning Vorus’ departed soul to this mortal plane crossed Ezra’s mind for a moment, but as he looked at his shattered Mystic Lamp medallion, he remembered the necromancer had destroyed his old relic, vanquishing the Tainted Djinn.“Damn it, Vorus. You are a pain in the behind even after your death!” Ezra clenched his fists, anger, and frustration surging in his heart. Even after killing all three necromancers, he had learned nothing about Tanya’s whereabouts.As Ezra’s pocket watch ticked the minutes away, his heart raced faster and faster. He knew he barely had a couple of hours to locate Tanya and free her before the other cultists sacrificed her.The sound of heavy footsteps m
