Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The three legendary artifacts
Ezra’s decision to get into the museum had proved to be a dangerous one, but now that he was already inside the exhibition hall, there was no turning back.Surrounded by hidden spike traps, Ezra felt like he was standing in the middle of a minefield. The only respite was that he still had his feet on firm ground. However, taking the next step was his biggest challenge.Ezra carefully studied the tiles around him, trying his best to identify a pattern that might reveal which ones had spike traps under them. But no matter how many times he looked at each tile, he could not find any clues which would lead him in the right direction.All the tiles had the same pattern on them and only differed in size. At a glance, it was impossible to tell which ones were safe to step on and which ones would collapse.While Ezra had his eyes glued to the floor, Marlin was looking elsewhere. A sudden sparkle in the gunsmith's cursed eye suggested that he had discovered something useful.“You are looking i
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Protectors of the First Chancellor
Once Ezra picked up the sniper rifle, a secret corridor opened on his left. As he walked down the narrow path, it led him to an arched stone gateway filled with bright blue smoke.“I must say you have surpassed my expectations!” Ardryll’s familiar voice lauded Ezra’s success. He turned around, hoping to meet the elf’s apparition again, but there was no one standing behind him.“I may not be beside you, but my eyes see everything,” the elf whispered from some unseen corner. “Step into the gateway, and it will lead you back to the main street. We call them Warp Gates. They cut down on traveling time and are immensely useful when you are carrying heavy weights. I promise you will get used to them in no time.”“Sounds awfully convenient,” Marlin mocked. It was clear from his tone that he wasn’t too eager to trust the elf’s words.Ardryll had already noticed the eye on Ezra’s hand but hadn’t been able to put his finger on things until now. Hearing another man’s voice cleared his confusion.
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System An enchanted companion
Artificial constructs were the most versatile magical companions a person could ask for. Though initially only mages and sorcerers could summon them and give them commands, gradually several methods were discovered to allow others to enlist their aid as well.The five lifeless constructs standing before Ezra were from a long-forgotten era and looked nothing like the modern elemental golems and mechanical sentries he had seen in Valaria.The rock golem had been assembled using different types of boulders and enchanting them with magic. It had a rotund belly and large gray arms composed of heavy rocks and flat pebbles that formed its fingers.In the middle of the golem’s chest was a large cubical hollow enchanted with magic runes.The treant looked like an ancient oak tree that had uprooted itself and shed most of its leaves. It was similar to the Forest Guardians in some ways but seemed far sturdier and resilient.Just like the Rock Golem, the Primordial Treant also had a hollow core en
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The bridge to Loseth Arela
In just two hours Ezra had managed to infiltrate the ruined city and make his way into the heart of the Blood Orchid. But the real challenge lay on the other side.Not many would think about scouring the ruins of the Blood Orchid all alone, but Ezra had braved the dangers and used his wits to outsmart the challenges. And now that he had a mechanical sentry protecting him, it allowed him to ease his nerves.Navigating through the rubble which consisted of remnants of crumbling pillars and floating pavilions, Ezra made his way through the deserted streets and eventually reached a wooden suspension bridge that connected the residential zone to the hallowed ground where the city’s holy lake was located.Loseth Arela was an enchanted lake whose waters were rumored to have magical properties. The people of Valaria believed that taking a dip in this holy lake could heal the mind and cleanse one’s sins, helping them get rid of all vices.A thousand years ago it would have been a common chore t
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The shores of Loseth Arela
Marlin watched as the sentry flew away and disappeared amidst the clouds.“Do you really think that flying junk even understands what a gravity-disrupting relic looks like?” he asked in an incredulous tone. “What made you think that a dumb golem can accomplish such a task?”“It’s not a golem. That thing is a magic-powered robot,” Ezra replied. “I can bet you a thousand sovereigns that a mechanical sentry is a lot smarter than any other elemental constructs.”While Ezra and Marlin were debating about the merits and demerits of relying on machines, the sentry flew over the holy lake and sped up using its support thruster. When it reached the last wall protecting the inner ring, it had a clear view of the whole city. This elevated position allowed it to easily scan the ruins below and search for the relic Ezra had mentioned.Since the Solar Defender was the most advanced mechanical sentry ever built, it was equipped with an echo scanner that could analyze objects behind walls and ascerta
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Vanquishing the Vengeful
The Vengeful Spirits crowded onto the shores of Loseth Arela like shadows from some lightless world. And as they closed in on Ezra, the sky overhead turned dark.Ezra and his sentry companion stood with their backs toward each other to eliminate any blind spots and keep the spirits in their sights at all times.“Threat detected! Preparing to eliminate hostiles...” The sentry flew up and launched a missile strike, targeting the shadows in the outer periphery of the ever-tightening ring.Schwoo! Boom!A cluster of explosions ripped through the plateau, leaving a massive crater in its wake. But the blasts did not kill a single spirit. The shadows remained completely unharmed.“Physical attacks do not work against spirits!” Ezra shouted to his sentry. “Only magic and holy spells can harm them!”Ezra equipped his Hodgson submachine gun and reloaded it with magic bullets. Stepping away from the advancing shadows, he fired upon them. The magic bullets punched holes into the shadows, causing
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Like a man reborn
The magical properties of the waters of Loseth Arela helped Ezra regain his strength and overcome all fears. As he walked out of the lake, the water droplets glimmered on his face like silver dust. Miraculously, his soaked clothes dried off in seconds as he walked away from the lake. Ezra felt his magic energy surging inside his veins and empowering his body. He felt much stronger than before and the wounds inflicted by the Vengeful Spirits had healed completely by now.“I already feel more powerful than ever. Now, let’s see how much has changed.” Ezra opened his system profile and swiped to access his skill selection menu. He was immediately surprised by what he saw. All his skills had been enhanced to their maximum levels and even his affinity had been increased.[Level up!][Magic talent level: C.][Maximum Magic Power: 1000%.][1. Magic Surge (level 5) (max) (active): This skill unleashes a magic blast that pushes larger enemies back, disorienting them for a brief period. Smalle
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System A hefty toll
The White Rose was the innermost and smallest subdivision of Galladrium. Despite occupying a small area, it was so well-guarded that no soul had ever managed to breach it. Ezra had a tall task before him, but with his shooting skills maxed out, he felt confident about achieving the impossible.“It is already past noon. You might want to hurry things up if you wish to return to Magaravia before nightfall,” Marlin reminded.“It’s better to plan ahead instead of rushing things.” For the first time, Ezra sounded cautious. It was clear from his tone that he was worried about the obstacles that lay ahead.Since no one had ever breached the city's inner ring, no one in Valaria knew anything about its defenses. Ezra’s best option was to consult the Atlas of Altamir to get somewhat of an idea about the traps on the other side.Accessing his system panel, Ezra tapped on the map and zoomed on the inner ring. The White Rose was surrounded by two walls with a small gap between them. But the most p

The valley of haunting shadows
Count Gressil led the Imperial forces through the treacherous valley, cautiously observing the surroundings. The craggy mountains flanking their path watched on like ancient beings, their ominous cliffs darkening the skyline.The arid path running down the middle was wide enough for troops to pass unhindered, but there was always the danger of being ambushed from the cliffs above. Count Gressil had known this rugged terrain for decades and was no stranger to such tricks. He could sense that the eerie silence pervading the darkness was merely the calm before the storm, and it kept him on his toes.“Never thought I would have to march on Ignar as a foe,” Marquis Sullivan was the first to speak, breathing some comfort in the tense atmosphere. His eyes scanned the cliffs as he continued riding. “I sure am glad we are not fighting elves. Their archers would have picked us off like fish in a barrel from up there.”“We still are sitting ducks until we cross this valley,” Count Gressil repli
It begins with blood
Ignar had stood tall like an impenetrable fortress, resisting all sieges for centuries. The walled city perched atop the ravenous cliff overlooking the Great Green Sea was a testament to Valaria’s intricate architecture and immense military craftsmanship.Count Gressil had controlled this indomitable city for fifty years, fortifying its defenses and recruiting the best knights and cannoneers to turn this into an infallible stronghold. However, Lorelai’s blood magic had brought the city to its knees in one fell swoop.Despite her unconventional methods, she had succeeded far beyond Malodor’s wildest expectations, and now this great city once known for its values of chivalry and justice was wallowing in darkness, its walls and towers stained with the blood of the innocent.Inside the grand hall of Bloodflame Castle, Lorelai was seated on a bed of blood orchids, surrounded by nine pregnant women bound in dark vines.A clay pot in the middle of the room was gradually filling with blood as
Under the Dark Maw
While Ezra was dealing with Malodor and liberating Cekunia, Aurelia and the others were marching on Ignar. Led by Sir Galahar and his Royal Gunners, the Imperial army had finally arrived at Racinta.The ruined city looked inhospitable, much like the rest of the barren lands around it, but it was much safer to be camping inside Racinta, than resting in the open while the undead were howling in the dark.The dome of holy light shielding the ruined village kept the shadows at bay and allowed the soldiers to finally catch their breaths. They had been marching for two hours now, and even the horses looked tired.But Aurelia knew they had to get moving as soon as possible, or Lorelai could use her blood magic to wreak havoc on them.As the soldiers secured the village and gathered in the middle, Count Gressil lit a bonfire and ordered the men to drink up and recheck their gear.Meanwhile, Sir Galahar instructed two of his most trusted Royal Guards to scout the way ahead and scope out Ignar
Dead men tell no lies
Ezra’s medallion emitted a faint green light, and a cloud of darkness gushed out of its core, taking the shape of a humanoid entity. The Tainted Djinn emerged from the shadows, holding a mystic lantern dangling from rusty iron shackles.“How may I serve you, master?” It asked, bowing its hooded head in submission.Ezra pointed at Malodor’s corpse and replied, “I need to talk to him. Reckon you can arrange a meeting?”“Of course, master. Your wish is my command,” the Djinn replied before moving across the room like a shadow and hovering over Malodor’s lifeless body. It uttered an archaic incantation in its raspy voice and lowered the mystic lantern, allowing its pale green light to illuminate the necromancer’s pale white face.Using its Dark Rite ability, the Tainted Djinn summoned Malodor’s soul before Ezra, binding it to the mystic lantern for a few fleeting seconds.A ghastly gray apparition materialized in front of Ezra, and the air turned cold and arid.“Welcome back, Malodor. I
Malodor's Fall
A Gunner with a sword was a rare sight, but Lord Sebastian had trained Ezra to use short swords and sabers at an early age. He wasn’t the best when it came to melee weapons, but the situation left him with little choice.“Please guide my hand, Goddess,” Ezra uttered a faint prayer to the Goddess of knowledge before reaching out for the flaming longsword.As Ezra grabbed its handle and wrapped his fingers around the hilt, the flames rose higher, and the runes carved on its surface pulsed with divine energy.This wasn’t just any enchanted sword, it was one of the five divine weapons wielded by the immortal deities. And right now, this blade had chosen Ezra as its new owner.[Yolen’s Blade equipped successfully!][Magic Power consumed: 5000%!]Just equipping the sword drained Ezra’s magic power by half, but that wasn’t all. Each second he held onto the blade it continued draining a portion of his magic power, draining his energy at an alarming rate.Ezra took a deep breath and grabbed th
An ever-evolving enemy
The Undead Hydra’s incredible regenerative ability amplified Ezra’s problems, leaving him in a precarious situation. In the sky above, the Crimson Maw was rapidly taking shape, forming itself into a demonic head, and Malodor was still far out of his reach.Realizing that he needed to deal with the hydra as quickly as possible, Ezra reloaded his enchanted minigun with Flame Burst Bullets and fired again, concentrating on the monster’s bloated belly.A blistering volley of fiery explosions lit up the hydra as the flaming rounds seared its dark hide, but the projectiles did not manage to punch through its toughened scales.Ezra rotated the weapon, targeting the softer spots on the hydra’s chest. This time, he succeeded in burning a patch of rotten flesh and leaving a deep scar on the monster’s body. But despite being peppered with a thousand rounds, the hydra refused to go down. Its skin molted, regrowing a new patch of flesh covered with a hardened layer of scales.“What the hell is th
Blinding Haze
Staring death in the eye had become a habitual hazard for Ezra by now, but his legs froze as he saw the Undead Hydra’s serpentine head inching toward him. “Not tonight!” Ezra tossed a Shock Grenade at the hydra and jumped back.The blast zapped the oversized head, forcing the hydra to pull its snaking neck back into the green mist and disappear once again.Although the Basilisk’s Toxic Cocoon was shielding Ezra from the hydra’s poisonous breath, he could feel his eyes burning from the smoky haze. It was as if someone had sprayed pepper on his face, and each time he squeezed his eyelids, tears trickled down his face, stinging his skin like needles.Dizzy and disoriented, Ezra looked around frantically, scanning his surroundings for any hint of movement. But everything seemed as still as death, and the hissing noises had ceased as well.“Where the hell are you hiding? Show yourself!” Suddenly, a hydra head appeared from the left and sprayed Ezra with dark fumes. He started coughing fi
Hydra's Breath
Ezra was so focused on stopping Malodor’s demonic spell that he had forgotten all about the hydra. But now that the monster had emerged from its dark lair, there was no way forward without slaying it first.“I sure am glad we aren’t fighting it inside its underwater cave,” Marlin whispered in his cold voice, his cursed eye glued to the hydra. “But it’s still going to be one hell of a battle.”The Undead Hydra glared at Ezra, its five vicious heads bobbing up and down as long forked tongues slithered out of its mouths. It was a gigantic monster covered in slimy gray scales and patches of rotting skin infested with maggots.“How the hell is that thing even alive?” Ezra questioned, unable to comprehend how this monstrosity was still standing even though its rotting flesh was covered in thousands of open wounds and deep scars.“You know they call it an Undead Hydra for a reason,” Marlin whispered back. “I am quite sure Malodor resurrected a dead hydra with his dark magic and cursed it to
The first confrontation
Cekunia’s walls had been breached, and the undead lurking in the streets had been wiped out with extreme force. A lone Gunner had led the machines through the captured city and marched straight to its heart.Malodor was impressed by Ezra’s unshakeable resolve and great leadership skills. Despite having no support from the Imperial Army or Royal Gunners, he had somehow managed to bring Cekunia to its knees, and now the port city was wide open for assault.“You did well, Lord Ezra. I must confess I never expected you to make it this far,” Malodor’s wispy voice echoed in the darkness as he manifested like a shadow, floating ten feet above the ground, his withered old frame wrapped in loose black robes. “What do you seek, my Lord? And I mean, what do you really seek?” he whispered in a cold voice, staring into Ezra’s soul.“I am here for Tanya,” Ezra replied bluntly, glaring right back at the levitating necromancer.Malodor heaved an exhausted sigh and replied softly, “That girl belongs t
