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
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Mausoleum of Forgotten Souls
The frustrated look on Ezra’s face relayed his feelings like a spotless mirror. Ardryll had once again dropped just a few breadcrumbs before deserting them.“I suppose we will need to make a short stop at the mausoleum before heading for the inner wall,” Marlin spoke in an affected tone. “It's clear now that you are never going to make it out of Galladrium before dark.”Ezra ignored his remark and opened his map to locate the mausoleum. He did not take long to find it since it was marked as a point of interest. The Mausoleum of Forgotten Souls lay on the western side of the Blood Orchid, surrounded by an orchard and a wide garden bordered by a simple brick wall.Ezra whistled to his sentry before beginning the long walk. With the Solar Defender watching his back, he cut through the ruined buildings to shorten his journey.A fifteen-minute walk through the old rubble and tangled mess of vines and withered creepers brought him to his destination.The Mausoleum of Lost Souls was the city
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Gravekeeper
The shadow of death loomed over the mausoleum as the Gravekeeper lurched ahead, its swollen joints creaking with every step. A disgusting yellow slime oozed out of the puss-filled warts on its grotesque face, and its dirty white teeth glinted in the dim sunlight filtering through the dusty gray clouds.Ezra grabbed the Bonecrusher with his right hand and conjured an elemental grenade in his left. Keeping his eyes fixed on the wobbly hunchback, he slowly backed away to put some distance between them.Meanwhile, the Solar Defender raised its lance high above its head and unleashed a grating war cry to warn the mummified corpses shambling across the chamber.As Ezra narrowed his eyes on the Gravekeeper, his passive skill automatically scanned the threat, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses.A bright red display flashed in front of his left eye, highlighting all the information on his enemy.[Dragon eye activated!][Target identified: Corrupted Gravekeeper.][Type: Corrupted undead gua
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Gravekeeper (2)
The odds were stacked firmly against Ezra as the Gravekeeper continuously kept raising its minions from death.“You must have a weakness.” Ezra shifted his gaze away from the Gravekeeper and focused on the mummified corpses. But his Dragon Eye skill was blocked by a magic cocoon that prevented him from analyzing the corpses.“That elf knew about this, and he still led us into a death trap!” Marlin grumbled, his hatred against the elves boiling over.But Ezra knew cursing Ardryll would not change his situation. Although he was alone now, he still had his Spectral Companion to count upon.Without a second thought, Ezra summoned his Spectral White Wolf.It leaped forward and bared its glistening white fangs at the mummified corpses. As they shambled toward Ezra, the wolf let out a terrifying howl. But to Ezra’s great surprise, the corpses kept lumbering onward without showing any signs of fear.“I think these ones no longer have any feelings. They look like soul-less beings controlled by
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The Gravekeeper (3)
The Gravekeeper’s shoulders pulsed with dark energy as it raised its scythe high above its head, holding it like a great battle axe. Despite having a deformed back, it possessed unimaginable strength, allowing it to pull the weapon back and bring it down with such power that it cleaved through the air and unleashed a blade of dark energy.Ezra crossed his arms in front of his chest to conjure his Reflexive Armor as the arcing blade of darkness cut across the room and rushed toward him. It struck the protective barrier encasing him, releasing a burst of energy that crackled and exploded, pushing him back and slamming him into the door behind.Even though Ezra sustained a few minor burns on his arms and his back was bruised from the impact, his shield had absorbed most of the dark energy, protecting him from certain death.[Magic Power completely drained!][Current Magic Power: 0%!]Ezra felt exhausted and weak. He had expended all his magic power to fortify his shield, and the result w
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System The White Rose
Outside the eastern gate, Ezra was stopped by two mechanical sentries armed with shock batons. He was surprised to see how advanced the city was. It reminded him of Silver Springs.“Entry to the White Rose is not free. Please pay your dues,” one of the sentries drone out mechanically.“One Celestar for each person,” the other added.Ezra pulled out the coin pouch and handed the guards the whole thing. “Keep the whole thing. I am feeling generous today.”The sentries examined the coins before dumping them inside a collecting vessel attached to their backs.“Donation accepted. You are free to enter the White Rose without any toll from now on.”Ezra felt a bit awkward about acknowledging the robots, but he still thanked them with a short bow before walking past them.When he walked out of the gate and entered the White Rose subdivision, his eyes were dazzled by the granite and sandstone wonders towering before him.There were shrines dedicated to the old gods and statues of the legendary
Reincarnated in another world with a Gunsmithing System Ishani’s floating shrine
A shrine only accessible during the freezing cold winters was something only the first civilization could have thought of. But with the necromancers aggressively conquering the human settlements and tightening their grip on Valaria, Ezra did not have the luxury of waiting that long.Retrieving the Beacon of Purity was the only way to stop the demonic forces. Ezra tried to think of a plan as he gazed at the lake. The monstrous alligator could be anywhere now, and one little slip could prove to be fatal.For a brief moment, the thought of making a run for it crossed Ezra’s mind, but when he saw one of the floating stones wobbling on the surface, it made him change his decision.Ezra realized that he could never reach the shrine safely as long as the alligator was prowling inside the lake.“I need to kill that thing first,” he said, staring at the calm surface.“Now that is a decision I can support wholeheartedly,” Marlin added.Ezra knew he only had an hour to enter the shrine, retrieve

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
