Blacksmith Assassin The Day After
"When you feel life,You grab it in desperation.But as time goes onYou realize,Life's nothing but an illusion."I.I woke up earlier than usual this day. Mystica is still sleeping beside me, her face looks so much gentler when she's like this. I remembered what happened last night and smiled as I swayed her hair back. I kissed her cheek and said "I love you" before going downstairs."Status." I stayed in the backyard and looked intently at my current attributes.Name: Jean MartinLevel: 10Bonus Status Points Available (100)Strength: 20Note: Well, well, well, looks like somebody's doing more than just jerking off all day to build up those biceps huh?Speed: 15Note: You're still slow as hell, don't get cocky.

Blacksmith Assassin Tricks on Your Sleeves
"As easily as you build up your walls,The bricks stacking up to thousands of feet tall.That's also how easily you'd get envied by all.By warned dear child,The higher you build, the greater your fall."I.I woke up with Mystica sleeping by my side. Three weeks have passed since I entered this world and I'm slowly getting used to this reality. There are a lot of things that happened. I mean sure I died twice but hey, at least I'm alive now.I got out of bed and put on my clothes. Downstairs, there are residents who have woken up as early as I have."Morning Sid and Jaime." I said as they recognized my presence."Good Morning Sir Jean." They said with wide grins on their faces."How are your lands doing these days?""The harvest is good Sir. We have enough for our families and enough to spare for our relatives. Thank you."A lot of these people feel indebted to me and Mystica. For them, what we did is not only provide a better shelter but also, give them a better life altogether. All
Blacksmith Assassin The Fool
"Now all that's left is rubble and dirt.Where's happiness with which you used to flirt?Nowhere to be seen and nowhere to be found.You're alone once again;To despair you are bound."(Before you start this chapter, note that the culling refers to the event when 10 Entertainers are killed at the end of each month.)II. (King's PoV – 6 days left before the culling.)"Good Morning Honey." I said as I forced my lips on Mystica's. She started squirming but she can't fight back. I have her completely tied down after all. I forced her lips open and made my tongue play with hers. Things were starting to get exciting but then, she bit my tongue making me withdraw from the shock of the sudden pain."You bitch!" I said, slapping her face."Ahh damn that hurts." I can taste my own blood now. The pain stuck to my tongue as if she bit through half of it. This bitch just made me angrier."Untie me!" She demanded."You know what?" I sat down on a chair and stared her straight in the eyes."I've rem
Blacksmith Assassin Death
"Blink and you'd gain wealth.Blink again and you'd have nothing.Blink a third time expecting something.Blink a fourth and you'd have death."I.When people talk about what death looks like, a lot of interpretations come out. Some people talk of it like a horrid being, with claws and fangs that tear you apart in your sleep. Some people see it as an escape from this world, a chance to get away from the cruelty of life. Some people view it as an inspiration for art, with a lot of poems and painted canvasses filled with the notion of death. Yet here I am, a man who has died thrice, still unsure what I can make of death.I have no idea how much time has passed since I died. This is nothing like Limbo, the realm I stayed at when Heidi - sama took me. This is emptier, hollower, like I have no destination. Floating endlessly in a vast darkness. Even my memories are starting to fade."What was I supoposed to do again?" I asked myself. There seems to be no driving force for me, all I want is
Blacksmith Assassin Unfinished Business
"The heart never forgets."I. (3 Days left Before the Culling)I've always hated myself for my own incompetence. Wherever I went, failure seems to accompany me. Like some kind of loyal dog that wags its tail as it follows me around. I've learned to deal with it on my first life, using liquor as an exit to my miserable situation. I've learned to cope with it. I've learned how to endure the pain of not being enough. But right now, my incompetence is biting me really hard. I never knew I could even hate myself even further than I already have.I am in the front yard of Sina's Inn. I waited for night to come, cleaning Mystica's corpse and my own in the process. I dressed her in a beautiful white dress that I found in her cabinet and put as much effort on my own corpse."I'm sorry." Tears started falling from my eyes again. The burden of her death will always weigh down on me. I trusted too easily and this is what I got in return.I buried our bodies next to each other, putting a wooden fr
Blacksmith Assassin The End of The Illusion
[Dream End]“That’s a nice little trick you played on me there.”These are the first words that came out of Zeke’s lips as soon as he shattered the Illusion created by his opponent. The shock from this caught his opponent off guard right away. After all, there should be nobody who could escape the illusion that quickly. And yet Zeke is able to do this and, not only that, the human went straight towards the elf, stabbing Sabrina in the neck before she can even react.Though this elf is a powerful illusory mage, that is all she is and nothing more. She relies heavily on her illusions and as far as defense and offense is concerned, she leaves this to her allies to take care of. In return, she is able to cast powerful illusory spells. Ones that are even strong enough to trick the demon generals for a minute at most.Yet despite all of these preparations, she is still no match for Zeke. The hero of Forge released his black gas even before the fighting began and, planted these across the ba
Blacksmith Assassin First Fight of Reality
The smoke that Zeke created served him a multitude of purposes. But the main one that it served is a means for him to hide. He did this while recovering both his stamina and his mana. Quite frankly, his body is feeling a recoil from the illusion, almost as if he actually went through all of this.It made him regret killing the elf right away. He could’ve probably gotten a couple of interesting information from this person. But then again, his decision may have been for the better. After all, if he allows the elf to live, there’s a high chance that he would be caught in an illusion again. And when that happens, he doesn’t know if he’d be able to escape as cleanly as the first time.The smoke slowly dissipated and dispersed. This allowed Zeke to see everything clearly again and, with this also comes his setting of new traps that can be used. All of which are properly laid to create the perfect opportunity for him when an enemy comes. Though that isn’t what happened next. The one that c
Blacksmith Assassin Rest and Regeneration
“My lord!”These are the first words that came out of Aries’ lips as soon as she woke up. She scanned the nearby surroundings with her heart racing as fast as it could. Her mind is still focused on the fight that has just finished and so, her body is also acting accordingly. Wary of everything and ready to strike at any given moment as she also searched for her bow and arrows. Though these aren’t the first things she found.“Someone’s really jumpy.” Zeke’s voice immediately made Aries eyes focus on the direction that it came from and, surely enough, the person she’s looking for is there. Zeke sat on the far side of where she is, nursing Silver who seem to have woken up before her.“Are you safe my lord? Have you encountered any elves?”“You really have the time to be worrying about others when you’re left in that state?” Zeke chuckled right as soon as he finished saying these words.Meanwhile, the dark elf is slowly beginning to gain back her consciousness. Though the last thing she r
