Summary:
In my new world, life has no value. Reborn as an apprentice to the Assassin Order, a group that performs all kinds of menial jobs, I’m prepared to do anything to survive.
First, I had to accept their repressive training, where failure equaled death. My assassin opponents include a tigerborn whose power exceeds mine, an elf who is a master of essence, and a dragonborn known as the most powerful race. Isn’t all this unfair?
Although death lurks around every corner, I swear I will fight my way through this hell. Manipulating powerful enemies and the adults around me, punishing those who stand in my way…if that makes me a monster, so be it.
There is nothing and no one I won’t tear down in order to survive.
Not a shred of morality can see the light in this darkest fantasy.
