Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Fall of Cekunia
Led by the old necromancer, Vorus, the undead armies continued their march northward, ravaging every village in their path and laying waste to acres upon acres of fertile farmlands and green pastures.In just a few days, Vorus’ unstoppable forces surrounded Cekunia from all sides. While the sorcerers present inside the city tried to focus their spells on dealing with the ground troops, the Frost Wyverns launched an aerial assault upon the city.Fortunately, the Flame Towers were able to hold off the initial attack by launching fireballs at the undead fliers and unleashing ember bursts at regular intervals to keep the skies clear. However, things quickly took a horrific turn when the cunning necromancer chanted an eight-tier spell to summon a Legendary Undead from the adjoining sea.The Sea of Calansas was churned from its bowels as a deadly whirlpool opened at its center, swallowing the fishing boats and wrecking the larger war galleons.But this naval catastrophe was only the beginni
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Dressed to deceive
The threat of an undead invasion had hardly moved the king, but the men in power decided to follow his orders and bolster the city’s defenses.The Chief Court Mage, Servius Salazar, used his mastery over conjuration spells to enchant the antique armor sets worn by the paladins from the past and create an army of Steel Golems to defend the city.Although the golems created by enchanting empty sets of armor with magic weren’t capable of using skills or casting spells, they were great at following orders and reinforcing areas of interest. And since they could be created in large numbers, they could be used to build a disposable army.Servius fortified the Steel Golems with hardening magic and ordered them to guard the capital’s three main gates. To further enhance the defensive capabilities of the city, the old mage also conjured a magic dome to protect the capital from aerial attacks.Meanwhile, the king’s Chief Gunner, Sir Galahar Warrington oversaw the construction of the city’s large
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Palace of wonders
Tanya leaned on Ezra’s shoulder as the motor wagon glided down the empty roads. Most of the traffic had been diverted to the sub streets, and the sidewalks were being patrolled by armed guards.The king’s advisors had made special arrangements to ensure the guests arriving for the evening ball would have a smooth ride to the palace and no anarchists could stir up trouble on the streets.Since tensions were on the rise after the recent fall of Cekunia at the hands of the undead forces, to appease the public and mitigate damage, the king’s ministers had ordered the officials to organize a small fair the following week and reduce the tax rate for all citizens of Valaria.All these carefully planned measures had assuaged the immediate fears of rebellion and restored normalcy to the city. However, the advisors knew that the anarchists and fear-mongers would strike back at the slightest opportunity.To avoid any unpleasant incidents, the security arrangements around the palace had been tight
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Royal Ball
Ezra’s heartbeat quickened as he recalled his last meeting with the enchantress. Glenn had helped him get away that time, but the Blood Mage wasn’t here anymore, and he could not afford to create another scene, especially among the nobles.Dressed in a ravishing red ball gown adorned with peacock feathers, Esmeralda continued staring at Ezra from across the room. Even though she was wearing a violet masquerade mask, her sharp facial features were unmistakable. “She’s here,” Ezra whispered to Tanya without taking his eyes off the enchantress.“Who’s here?” Tanya questioned, looking around casually.“Esmeralda Blaine.”Hearing that name, Tanya became alert, and her eyes darted in the direction of Ezra’s gaze. But she only caught a glimpse of a ball gown as the attendants passed by, blocking her line of sight.When the tray bearers finally cleared away, Esmeralda was nowhere to be seen. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air.“Are you sure you saw her?” Tanya asked as she continu
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Royal Ball (2)
Fluorescent butterflies fluttered into the grand hall as the Chief Court Mage snapped his fingers and infused the air with magic. A thin layer of ice coated the floor, and icicles shaped like clusters of wildflowers sprouted from the ceiling.“We haven’t had a proper winter in decades, so this is my little gift to you, my dear ones,” the king proclaimed as Servius continued with his spell, gradually transforming the grand hall into a frozen world.Some of the guests marveled at the icy white flowers while others held on to their partners to avoid slipping on the frozen floor.When they had been invited to the ball, none of them were expecting to enjoy a snowy winter evening inside the palace. But what was most surprising was how Servius managed to keep the temperature from dropping too much, creating a pleasant indoor weather perfectly conducive for a night of revelry and merrymaking.King Reginald raised his arms above his head and clapped. His cue was immediately honored by the atten
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A political alliance
Tanya and Ezra slipped past the guests and attendants to quietly make their way outside. The garden overlooking the eastern façade of the palace was where Marquis Sullivan and his supporters had gathered along with a handful of loyal butlers and personal guards.A white marble table shaped like a three-leafed clover had been set in a secluded part of the garden under the shade of a cherry blossom tree, and six chairs had been arranged around it for the Marquis and his confidants.Marquis Sullivan and Viscount Forell were joined by the wealthiest businessman in the city: the wine merchant, Griffith Herington, and the king’s former general: the old knight Sir Samson Deville.The two vacant chairs were swiftly occupied by two of the king’s distant cousins, a red-haired young man of mixed descent and a dark-skinned middle-aged man from the port city of Cekunia.“It was terribly suffocating in there. Thank God he decided to take a break,” the dark-skinned man muttered as he loosened his sti
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A game of power
Tanya’s suggestion wiped the smile off their faces and even the king’s cousins looked away in discomfort. Although they were unhappy with King Reginald’s laxity and indolence, they would never imagine supplanting him with the help of his own daughter.While the others were too nervous to speak, Marquis Sullivan decided to break the silence.“What you are suggesting is nothing short of high treason. Conspiring against the crown to overthrow the reigning king is a crime punishable by death,” he said.Tanya stepped closer to the table and looked him in the eye. “I think I need to remind you that as a Marquis your duty is not only to remain loyal to the crown but to protect and safeguard the interests of its subjects as well. And sometimes, the courtiers need to protect the king from himself.”“And do you think the loyalists will agree with your methods?”“I do not care about pleasing the loyalists. My allegiance lies to the people of Valaria and Goddess Ishani is my shield. She will show
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A bullet for the king
Panic and mayhem spread across the grand hall as the royal guards rushed to secure the exits accompanied by spotted gray hounds and black wolves.The women shrieked and held on to their partners while the men turned to look at the Court Mage. “What is the meaning of this?” Lamier questioned in a bitter voice. “Why are we being treated like criminals? For God’s sake, there are women here! Keep your dogs away from us!”His friend, the young Lord Rasher Desmond, soon joined in. “Lord Lamier is right. We are guests here, and such behavior is disrespectful.”“Simmer down, son. His Majesty’s safety is at stake here, and we do not know if the shooter is still out there or not,” Marquis Desmond said, putting his arm on his son’s shoulder. He then turned to look at Servius. “Where is His Majesty now? Is he alright?”“His Majesty is hale and hearty, but he has been shaken up by the attack. Fortunately, the shooter’s bullet shattered his window and struck the vase near this bed,” Servius replie

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
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
