Assassin System in a Magical World Prank
Dave was not having a great night. He had thought to drown his sorrows from the disappointment of Shinra being promoted, by asking Hannah to go with him to a members only club that his family had acquired access to for him. Things didn't go as planned.She had said, "maybe". He had tried to explain that the club was private and she wouldn't be able to get in without him, and she just smiled blandly and replied, "We'll see. I might show up later".It turns out, faint hope is worse than a no. Dave drank himself into a stupor. Alone. The private club, The Red Disk, arranged an escort home for him. It wouldn't have been good for them to have a client spend the entire night.You would think that Dave would have fallen deeply asleep as soon as he made it to his small but comfortable apartment, but the night air had aroused him enough for him to again feel the shame of being stood up by Hannah, his disappointment and not being promoted and his anger at that little shit zombie. He banged a
Assassin System in a Magical World Conspiracy
[Assassination of Dave Complete][3 Stars]Shinra held his breath, afraid to say anything. 'How did I get my best evaluation yet? There is a witness, a huge mess, and, arguably, I didn't really kill him.'He was still crouching down, and hopped back up to avoid the spreading blood. 'Even though the heart isn't pumping, gravity will drive the blood from his core out of that giant hole.' Shinra looked at Loren, expecting to see horror and fear in her eyes. He didn't. If anything, she looked angrier.The system displayed over his vision again.[Evaluation Criteria:Stealth 2.5Technique 5Witnesses &nb
Assassin System in a Magical World Dead Dave
"It is with a heavy heart that we tell you that one of your own, Deputy Dave, of the Shadeleaf family, has died," Captain Spars said. He looked at everyone in the Deputy Bullpen before continuing."I won't downplay this, it is bad. Dave was murdered." The room was filled with sharp intakes of breath and a few gasps. No one expected this when they arrived at work today. Well, no one except Shinra, who also made a short gasp sound to blend in.'I guess someone was sent to check on him after he was a no show at work yesterday,' he thought."We are about to have a general assembly with all the Sheriffs under my command, but I wanted to tell you all first, as he was your comrade."A few hands were raised up, and Captain Spars nodded towards Hannah, who looked calm, though her raised arm trembled slightly."Captain. Will you share the details of the crime with us, and will we be participating in the investigation?" She asked."Deputy Hannah. I will share more details in the general a
Assassin System in a Magical World Noble Fight
'Shit,' Shinra thought. This is not a good situation. Not only were they outmanned three to one by mages, but Shinra couldn't use his skills in front of the newbie without killing him afterwards. 'Probably not the best way to keep suspicion of me right after Dave's death.'Truthfully, Shinra's skills were amazing at killing people who were unaware, but he still couldn't win one to one against a prepared mage. The power difference was just too great."Okay newbie, stay calm and give them whatever money you have. They clearly don't realise that they have just accosted two sheriff's deputies, and will cause themselves a world of trouble if anything actually happened to us." Shinra said."Hahahah, deputies eh? You look like two little girls. Which is interesting because we were told one Noble little girl would be heading this way, and that we should treat her to a little party."'Fuck
Assassin System in a Magical World Zombie isn't useless
Shinra didn't have much time to think, but knew he wasn't going to have much luck against 3 mages slinging spells.He grabbed Sardi's shoulder and spun him around as he ran towards the emerald knight. The mage's emerald sword swung through the air, missing Sardi by a few inches. Shinra's push was well timed. Shinra dove forward as the green sword rose for another attack.'His armour, and the protection spells seem to have him well covered. I know from my earlier attack that those weaves can stop my knife cold,' Shinra thought as he rolled up from his dive and swung his knife in an upward arc, aiming at the man's inner thigh."Clang!"'Damn! I aimed for the gap between the jewel plates, but he shifted his stance. This guy isn't pretending to fight with weapons.' Shinra was surprised. Most of the mages he'd known were like the snake guy, and the ones fighting Sardi now. 'Maybe Sardi and Wintersbane aren't the
Assassin System in a Magical World Cleanup
"Laryal? Moeal? What the…'' the last goon standing said. Blood had splashed onto his face from his friend in the middle of their triangle.The goon raised his hands towards Shinra, a vibrant purple pulsing along his fingertips. "Die you motherless dog," he yelled.A pulsing disc of black and purple spread between the man's hands. It grew to the size of a pumpkin, and looked deadly."Arrggh!" The man screamed, and motioned to shove the disc at Shinra.Then his left hand was lopped off midway up the forearm. Instead of falling to the ground, it remained attached to the black and purple disc, distorting the shape of the disc to look more like a squash. The hand flopped at the end, dribbling blood. All three men stared at it.The goon drew in a big breath, probably to scream Shinra thought, but the swinging hand unbalanced the squash shaped dark magic and caused it to touch the man's intact forearm."Shluuurp.". It was a horre
Assassin System in a Magical World New Tasks
Shinra was having difficulty concentrating. The entire run to the precinct, he wanted to initiate the upgrade to level 7 and see if he was noticeably stronger. The fight in the alley showed him two things: that he was much stronger and deadlier than he used to be, and it still wasn't enough because his enemies would always be mages.'Those guys were classified as mid level Assassins, so does that mean they were my seniors in a way?'He couldn't do the upgrade on the move though, since it might make him pass out. He was worried about outlier goons ready to catch them on the way.It didn't matter though, as they reached the Sheriff's precinct in record time. 'Damn, that kid can really run… I guess I can too.'"Sardi, you run in and tell the desk Sergeant. I'll do a sweep out here to see if we were followed.""Ok Zomb… Deputy Shinra," the young man said as he ran into the squat, ugly building.&
Assassin System in a Magical World Advisory Warning
"Come Sheriff. Are you here to provide another non-update?" Advisor Brightbough said. He was lounging on an overstuffed, red sofa in his private office.It was an ornate piece, and clearly expensive, like everything else in the room. There was a large mahogany desk, its oiled surface shone in the light from the huge leaded glass window the office also enjoyed. The far corner from the door had a seating area with a bookcase, the sofa, and a gigantic fireplace. The whole space could fit Wintersbane's apartment 4 times at least. This was just the private office section of his palace suite. Wintersbane knew that he also had a full apartment behind one of the doors on the back wall, and a public office located in the administrative section of the palace.'His working space is bigger than all the property of my family combined…. Well, almost all of my family,' Wintersbane thought."I'm sorry, Advisor. There have b

Mess in Aisle 3
In the middle of a fight is when Shinra felt most certain. He wasn’t thinking so much as assessing and deciding in real time. It was happening faster than thought, and it was addictive.He looked at the wand, death in a slim package, bearing down on him.‘I just need to be somewhere else,’ he decided. His vision highlighted vectors for diving, rolling, and jumping to avoid an attack originating at the sword tip and covering an area of 2 metres around it. He couldn’t just avoid the attack though, he had to finish this one off before the other 4 combatants got their shit together.He jumped, hard, into a forward twisting flip, easily clearing the guard. Even in Daemon time, he could see the surprise on the man’s face as a powerful green blast made a crater in the f

Red Reunion
Shinra was leary of all magic, so he almost bolted from his place as soon as he saw the glowing sphere hanging in the air. Well, he did bolt, but luckily he heard Loren’s message from the hall. He was still trying to wrap his head around what she said, even as he stood in front of her door. ‘Naori was here?’Shinra loved his sister, he never had any doubts about his feelings towards her. She was the kindest, most capable, and brilliant person he had ever known. And, though he spent every moment since his parents died trying to take care of her, he knew she had taken care of him even more. Being in the city without her had been difficult, but, if he was honest, he worried about her less after sending her his wages. ‘My life has been pretty complicated this last little while,’ he thought. He knew he was making excuses. He did believe her life would actually be better without him. She was more resourceful than he ever was, and the other villagers liked her much more than him.‘So why

Red Awakening
The room was Pitch Black, so Raisd wasn't sure if his eyes were open or not at first, so he blinked a few times. ‘Definitely open.’ The fact that he was lying in a bed instead of bleeding in a gutter was a good sign, but he wasn't sure of anything else. He slowly moved his hands down his chest and body, feeling for any bandages or gaping wounds.‘Huh, not only am I naked, I seem to be in one piece.’ Which was amazing in and of itself, because the seven finger Gremlin counter attack is enough to kill most mages. Clearly he was both lucky and, maybe, tougher than he thought.He tried to stand, but that is when he noticed the weight across his legs. Not able to see, he reached down and realized the weight was a pair of legs draped across him. His fingers traced their way up those legs until he found their intersection. It was warm there, and his fingers were tickled by the fine hairs they brushed up against. ‘God I hope this is Mimi,’ was all he thought before the

“I promise, it is usually cleaner here,” Loren said as she rushed around trying to stuff books and scrolls back onto the shelves while gathering up a precarious pile of dishes. She definitely didn’t care what the place looked like when Naori’s brother broke in. Funny how something so random could lead to Loren trying to clean her place. She looked over her shoulder to see Naori just standing still, eyes widened by the mess, no doubt. ‘I need to distract her maybe? Where am I going to put all of this stuff!’ Loren was not used to caring what anyone thought about her, her space, or anything she did, really. “Wow. Just…. Wow,” was all Naori said, eyes still wide.‘Oh god, she thinks it is worse than living on the streets, she’s never seen anyone live like this… dammit!’, but what Loren said out loud was, “I just need a few more minutes. Why don’t you sit down over … “ except she hadn’t cleared any of the seating surfaces yet.“This is the most amazing home I’ve ever seen! It is

Conspiracy Uncovered
The office was surprisingly orderly for an assassin, Shinra thought. Tastefully arranged sofas, end tables with a high polish, and a full bookcase. He went straight to the desk though, to see if he could find what the assassin guild leader was talking about.‘Would it just be on top? Is that too easy?’ Shinra looked, but the few pieces of parchment on top of the desk were innocuous bills and tally of equipment. He opened the top drawer and only saw quills and inkstones. The larger drawer underneath was locked.“Why don’t I have lockpicking skills? I can do everything else…” He flexed his newly healed hand, still amazed at how whole and pain free they were, after the devastating burns he’d suffered. “Well, I’m strong enough to just rip it open,” he said, then gripped it tightly and pulled with all his strength.He felt the small release of power, ‘shit,’ he thought and then flung the drawer behind him as hard as he could. It was the right move, as the entire desk exploded in a sho

Honour Bound
“Filthy blood slut," was all the lesser Earl of Clodven had said. It wasn't a nice thing to say about anyone, and Raisd had heard much worse. This time though, it was directed at his betrothed.To his credit, Raisd showed enormous restraint by only breaking the man's nose. The young lesser Earl and his friends didn't agree, and so now Raisd was in an honour bout.“The first to ten wins the bout,” one of the hangers-on was intoning, "and may request an honour payment." “I think I'll ask for one of Its fangs," the arrogant noble said.Raisd paid him no mind. ‘Foppish, useless nobles think life is a silly game. This bout is probably the highlight of his week’. He knew the type well. The lesser Earl’s father, or grandfather, had been useful to the Empire once upon a time, but then they produced entitled, talentless wastes of flesh like this. The patriarch of the family has probably all but disowned him.‘If I'd punched Shinra, he probably would have punched back and we'd be having a

Strange
Raisd was having a weird night. Actually, everyday had been weird since his betrothal. He couldn't get over the fact that suddenly people knew he was an active part of the imperial family. Well, maybe vampires didn't count as people, but they knew. If that was all that had changed, he could deal. After all he had been in military intelligence, and had infiltrated many places as part of his work, including the deputies office. Unfortunately he was quickly apprised of how different human and vampire customs were. Which was why he was lying in bed with General Mimi right now. Uncomfortably. Wrapped up in his own blanket and wearing a full set of clothes. He wasn't 100% certain, but he was pretty sure that she was naked under the thin sheet she had draped over herself. He made sure all the lights were off though and just laid there staring up at the ceiling in the dark. It had been like this for a few days now, ever since the rest of the vampire delegation went back to their capital

Shadow Heal
Shinra was surprised. ‘Shadow Heal isn’t one of the skills in the list. Does this mean they are all low level skills? Or are there a tonne of skills that the System just doesn’t show me?’Either way, this wasn’t what he was expecting. ‘Healing is high level magic… what does Shadow Healing mean? Am I a mage now?...’ He knew he wasn’t though. He looked around and did not see the primal flow of mana in the world. He was a zombie. One with interesting skills, but a zombie all the same.“Unless a Ninja is a different class of being?” The head Assassin said Ninja enough that it did make Shinra wonder. Not that he had time for that mystery right now.
