The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

As Aiden left the king, he was relieved when he heard the content of the mission he would have to do. It was a classic mission for an assassin and he had done one that resembled what he was asked many times in his past life.

Infiltration was one of the tasks he preferred because it was the one where he was the best at. He had done many of them which at some point gave him the title of the Reaper betraying his teammates when they least expected it, but he decided to not have this killer nature in the world he had transmigrated, not wanting to live the same life as before, one of loneliness.

He wanted to make friends in this world as he did with Maelis.

Thinking about the trial and the infiltration into the other camp, Aiden didn't want to waste any time and already wanted to leave this city to take as little time as possible doing this trial, before coming back to the real world.

After leaving the room with the king, Aiden saw the twelve people who were around the table looking at him weirdly, almost with desire.

The twelve people who were around the table were outside waiting, probably wanting to interrogate Aiden to find out what the king asked of him.

They all wanted to know his task because, maybe, they could replace him and do it in his place, after everyone wanted to gain a favor from the king, and this could be a way to get it. They all wanted that favor at all cost even if it meant killing Aiden to get it, so they approached him.

However, Aiden wasn't dumb, he knew that some of them were approaching him with bad intentions wanting to learn about what he needed to do. He, also, didn't know if there was a spy in the spies of the Avaloria Empire, which he was part of. Not wanting to reveal any type of information, he started leaving not even speaking a single word.

Seeing him act like this angered some of the generals who were greedy, but they didn't do anything because they knew that the king's assassin was almost impossible to beat in a one versus one.

Aiden was lucky that the person he had taken over was a renowned assassin that was very strong because it had just saved him from trouble.

However, that didn't mean that the other generals wouldn't try anything as a group, thinking that may have a chance.

As Aiden was leaving the place where the meeting had taken place, he started looking around him and it seemed that he was currently in a place where not much technology had been invented because looking at the walls and the architecture, it seemed like he was currently in the Middles Ages where knights and army were formed.

'Am I in a castle?' asked Aiden to himself, almost sure he was because the walls were made of rocks.

He was happy that he wasn't summoned to some sort of strange place like the first trial.

To Aiden's knowledge, there was no monster, no weird races. There were only humans like him which made him comfortable not having to deal with the appearance of strange people.

While Aiden was thinking about what kind of place he had been summoned, one person out of the twelve who were around the table was currently talking to someone, or a better word for it might be a monster.

It seemed Aiden was wrong about the world he was currently in having no monster because the creature that the general named Oliver was talking to didn't look anything like a monster, in fact, the creature kept changing appearance as it spoke.

"I need you to learn more about the task that the king has given to the king's assassin, find him and seduce him by taking a beautiful appearance, here," said Oliver, one of the generals to the ever-changing monster throwing to him a dead body, the one of a woman.

"Master thank you for this opportunity," said the monster with some difficulty talking, looking at the dead body.

"Master, where is that person which you are talking about," asked the monster which now had the appearance of a beautiful young woman, capable of seducing anyone.

"He should be around the exit of the castle as we speak, try to get to him before he leaves for his mission and bring him back to me," said Oliver as he started giving the monster all the details about the current situation that was unfolding.

Without saying another word, the monster who had the appearance of a beautiful woman left in the direction of the castle's exit.

Oliver, on the other hand, hadn't finished what he wanted to do, and quickly got out of his hand some weird type of device, which looked like a mirror.

By pressing some places on the mirror, a face appeared on it that anyone from the Avaloria Empire could recognize in an instant, it was the Uplison Emperor's face right there on the mirror.

"My king, I have some important news to give you," said Oliver, not wasting any time.

"Which is?" asked the king, not even acknowledging Oliver for a single second.

"The Avaloria king's assassin is on the move and has been given a secret mission by the king, but no one knows anything about it."

"Did you really use the communication mirror, just to tell me this?" asked the king, which had no reaction whatsoever to that information.

"But, this assassin is dangerous, don't you know the rumors about him, my king? It is said that he has abilities that defy those of this world." 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

"How is this any relevant information to me, it's not like a single person can defeat our empire, that's simply impossible," said the Upsilon emperor not taking seriously Aiden for one second.

"I only wanted to let you know, sorry to have bothered..."

"Why can't you take care of him, aren't you a general of my army?" asked the king, interrupting the salutations Oliver.

"I'm trying. I sent the shapeshifter, I will soon know if it has succeeded since I ordered it to capture him and bring him back to me as soon as possible."

"That's good, just make sure that you aren't discovered. If you die or get discovered, we would lose the biggest advantage that we have over the Avaloria Empire."

After saying that, the king and Oliver, one of the generals that Aiden needed to kill to complete his trial, said their goodbyes, and Oliver started going in the direction of the castle's exit where the shapeshifter had left toward.

Author's Note:

Do you think the shapeshifter that went after Aiden will succeed in capturing him?

If I hit 100 powerstones before the end of the week I will drop one bonus chapter, might be two if I have time :)

Add to the library, if you liked the chapter!
