‘Shinra doesn’t often stay out all night and all morning. He’s alright though, I know it.’ Naori had unshakeable confidence in her older brother. Others thought he was cold and questioned his morality, but she knew that he would move the heavens to keep them safe. ‘That kind of love should be appreciated,’ Naori knew this well, zombies didn’t have a lot of time for sentimentality, but emotions drove their lives. Unfortunately the dominant emotion was fear.
She busied herself in their hovel. Shinra had built it himself using salvaged wood planks, wood he’d finished himself with ‘borrowed’ tools and river clay. It wasn’t pretty, but they had enough room to stand up and move around. There was a table, a raised bedding area in the corner, a fire pit in the centre and sev

“Lord Jala, I think we need to consider the long term picture here,” Solus said. He waved his hand and he was holding a chilled glass of wine, taken from his secret cellar. He loved hand made wine, properly aged. Magic could make it faster, but all the craftsmanship was lost.A satisfied smile crossed his face as the tart liquid glided down his long throat. He was a man of stretched proportions. His narrow face matched his long arms, and spidery hands, but he carried himself calmly and always spoke carefully.“Solus, a man is dead! We need to involve the Sheriffs and get to the bottom of this.” Jala sat in a large comfortable chair, surrounded by attendants who were grooming his beard, filing his nails and rubbing his shoulders. One attendant was nearby to

Shinra kissed Naori on the forehead, then snuck out of their home. She didn't stir a muscle.'Is that Silence at work, or is she very tired?'He wanted to test his powers badly, but needed to make sure his sister was safe even more. Naori was stunned by the riches he had brought home, and knew better than to ask where he got it. 'Naori is the best. She'll figure out how to turn the cash, weapons and potions into food and supplies for us. I might not have to steal again for years, though it will be hard to sell potions to zombies.'He wasn't worried though, she was accomplished at dealing with goods of questionable origins.'I need to be alone now and try out my skills. Silence and Knife Mastery are passive, so they should be working already. Now I need to try Critical Strike and get better with Fade.He crossed the Tardel river by swimming. It represented the Southern border of the Zombie village, and had a powerful enchantment that kept monsters from getting near. 'I need t

‘Shit, shit, shit,” Shinra thought. He needed to pant in breath, he was so winded, but could not. Instead he held his breath, and every muscle perfectly still. He couldn’t stop the blood dripping down his arm, or mask its scent. He was going to be a dead man if he didn’t think of something fast.The Orc was sniffing around a tree Shinra had wiped his blood on. It would only distract the monster for a few moments though.It was at least 8 ft tall, but walked hunched over with its hands near the ground, dragging the large spiked club it had hit Shinra with. Its yellow eyes shone with bloodlust when he cried out and fell back from the blow. Shinra had come up quietly behind the beast, and attempted a critical strike at the base of its neck.‘Why did I miss? I was following the trail smoothly, like I had already done on 2 wolves, and 3 giant rats.’ He knew why though. He had gotten cocky. He hadn’t even used Fade to make his approach, h
Assassin System in a Magical World Chaotic
Shinra wasn't in a great mood when he made it back across the river, one armed, and found some people hanging around the outside of his home."I swear. Little Naori was selling some really expensive mage shit today in the market. Potions, some rings, bracelets and scrolls. How much do you want to bet that she has even more stuff stashed away inside!""Even if she does, what are we going to do? Just break in there and rob her? What about her brother?""That good for nothing thief? He deserves what he gets. All that stuff is stolen anyways, so who cares if we steal it too? He's just a skinny guy, and there are two of us. We can take him down easily.""Maybe we should spend some quality time with Naori before we leave. She is old enough now and has gotten very pretty lately…""I don't know man. Robbery is one thing, we can just say we didn't do it and who the hell will know. If we hurt them badly, then the Town Council might punish us."

Young Matthew was living in a dream. A few days ago his father was trying to murder his zombie lover, and now he had let her move into his wing of their estate. ‘I know dad has probably a hundred ulterior motives. For now, she is worth more alive than dead to him, but that will change once her usefulness has ended.’ Matthew wasn’t stupid. Timid, a little, but not stupid. He knew that this was an opportunity though, and he meant to use it.“How do we make you valuable to my father after your testimony is finished? For whatever reason, seeing that Shadow monster is important.”"I can think of two ways, my love," Sophie said. The zombie was truly a lovely thing to behold, with her long red hair, milk white skin, and delicate features. And since moving into Lord Jala's estate, she had been dressed like a young noblewoman, enhancing her beauty tenfold and drawing the attention of every man who laid eyes on her.She was 18, so already a year older than the young Lord Matthew, but tha
Assassin System in a Magical World Village Life
Shinra had never been all that popular, even when his parents were alive, his family always seemed to be black sheep. He never really noticed until Naori was older, and everyone loved her. They could walk together and a dozen people would say hello and talk with her, and they would all pretend Shinra wasn’t there.It was like being a spirit or a shadow. The irony had not escaped him as he walked around the village today.Despite people mostly ignoring him, they weren’t outright rude, and he had merchants and people that he would talk to on occasion. He thought his constant thievery in the city was why people started to avoid him, as if talking to him would make them complicit when the Sheriffs finally caught him. ‘Screw them,’ he always thought. Today though, he needed to le

The flour and rice stopped swirling and Mr. Dalton stepped into the room. “Shinra? Is there a wind current making its way in here?” He didn’t notice anything strange though, he turned back in time to see Shinra walking towards him, some flour on his clothes.“Mr. Dalton, sorry, I went outside to wipe off some of the flour. I accidentally dropped the bag.” Shinra did have flour all over himself.“Oh, no problem. I thought I heard a commotion, but didn’t notice you leave. My eyes are getting old.” Mr Dalton smiled, evidently relieved that there wasn’t a real problem.“I’ll clean that up and take the opened bag as payment, if you don’t mind? I should be finished movin
Assassin System in a Magical World Fade 2
Naori was really happy when Shinra came back with the flower and rice. He thought she might have been happier than with all of the money and items he brought back from that knight the other day.She promised to make some bread and a good meal once she returned, and then she was off to do the rounds of chores and work she did around the village.This was best for Shinra because he wanted to try and test out his upgraded ability in a controlled environment.Is Fade 2 really much more powerful than Fade 1? Mr Dalton didn't notice me at all when I passed by right in front of him.Shinra sat in front of the small bookcase, a centrepiece of their small home. He'd extinguished all the lights, so the space was dark and shadowed, ex
