2024-05-21 17:14:41Asther headed back home. There really isn’t any reason for him to stay outside because, the longer he’s exposed, the greater the chances for the villagers to do bad things to him. Fortunately, the assassin’s experiences in his previous life helped him avoid all sorts of trouble. Moving in the shadows and as silently as he could until he finally reached his house.
There really isn’t much to see from the place. The house is a wreck. The roof is destroyed and the windows are broken. Parts of the walls have holes on them and, all around this place are words in graffities. They aren’t written in any kind of text from earth but, because of the previous body owner’s memories, Asther knows how to read these quite easily.
“Curse.”
“Leave this village.”
“Bad luck.”
“Trash.”
These are only some of the things which Asther read from the wall. He doesn’t care about these but, he does think that the real Asther lived such a miserable life. One that remained miserable until the real Asther died.
“You really had it rough didn’t you kid?” He murmured to himself and, as he did, he immediately moved his body to the side. Rocks came flying through the direction where he stood. Hitting the wooden walls of his house and even breaking a small part of it.
Asther turned his head to look at the perpetrators of the crime and, what he saw are children. Two of these who both had a frightened look on their faces.
“G-Get out of the village!” The little boy said.
“You bring nothing but bad luck!” The girl added.
Even before Asther could give a reply, the children already turned tail and run. He thought that it’s such a pity because, he wanted to give the children a good scare. Unfortunately, this chance didn’t come and he is left to entering his house which, began with the door almost collapsing on him.
There is no lock to the place. There isn’t any shred of privacy as well. As Asther moved the door to the side of the wall and looked inside, he saw just what the imprinted memory on him showed. Nothing. There isn’t any appliance inside aside for the cooking pot in the middle of the house and the makeshift stone stove where it sits directly on top of.
Asther sighed. “This places needs more than just cleaning. It needs a total renovation.”
He reached for his pockets and got the flint that Asther always keeps. With this and his knife, he can start a fire. The assassin thought that this is just what he needs because of two things. One is to start cooking the rabbit that he caught and, the second is to provide light. The sun has almost run its course and, with the kind of house that Asther has, the only source that he can get is from the fire while he cooks.
Hence the teen proceeded to preparing this. He got some of the dry wood from the left corner of the house and placed it under the stone stove. After this, he went to the door and placed it where it should be. Covering him from the people outside as, he began to masterfully prepare the rabbit.
As an expert assassin, Asther has also been assigned to roles such as that of a cook or a chef. He knows how to handle most types of meat, even the exotic kind. That’s why he’s still a bit thankful that the world he entered has similar animals to earth.
The smoke from the pot immediately rose. There isn’t any problem to smoke forming because there are a lot of holes in the house. In fact, directly above the pot is a hole on the roof, something which the real Asther intentionally placed his cooking set under.
“Good job surviving this far all on your own kid. You have a lot of strength for enduring everything up until now.” Asther said, talking to his body again as if the previous owner is still there.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of your body properly. I won’t let any of your body parts get cut off or removed. Although, as far as scars are concerned, there would be a lot of those in the future.
Asther proceeded to continuing in his meal preparation. There isn’t much needed. A few herbs that ads saltiness and, some clean water from the river outside the village. He placed these on the pot and as soon as the water boiled, he placed the minced rabbit meat inside. Mixing everything together.
“Right. While that’s cooking, I should probably take care of the other questions I have. System.”
The game-like window appeared right in front of Asther once again. He knows how to navigate through it a bit already. He then went to the option which allowed him to view his current stats and, this is what came out.
[Name: Asther]
[Level: 11]
[Job Class: None]
[Status Points:]
[Strength – 18]
[Speed – 19]
[Intelligence – 50]
[Luck – 15]
“Why is my Intelligence higher than the other stats?”
[That’s because it’s the only part of you that has been carried over from your world master. I integrated your intelligence and this is the score that came out.]
“I see. So even with just this I was able to take down the centipedes.”
[Yes master. However, your points were lower when you fought the monsters since the original body owner’s level is just at 7.]
“He’s only level seven? How difficult is it to gain levels in this world?”
[It’s relatively difficult master. The only reason why you went up by three levels is because you fought monsters that are superior to you and, also because the previous body owner was already close to leveling up again.]
“Do you have data on how much experience points I need before leveling up and how much I got from the centipedes?”
[Yes master. Here is your requested information:]
[Experience points 0/1000]
[Experience gained from defeating the centipedes.
[700 experience points.]
[500 experience points]
[300 experience points.]
“Is the reason why the experience points I gained different because it gets lower every time I level up?”
[Yes master.]
“So I need to constantly fight stronger monsters to gain more experience points. That would be a bit difficult for me right now.”
[Do you need anything else master?]
Asther thought about this for a second. But then, he finally caught the scent of the rabbit that he’s preparing. It’s nearly cooked and, because of this realization, his stomach grumbled again. Giving him the right answer needed for that moment.
“No. I think that would be all for now.”
[Understood master.] The System displayed as it vanished once again.
At the moment, Asther lacks real strength. Although he is a trained assassin, the body he got sent to is not. In fact, it is just a weak and scrawny teen. He can’t continue his mission if it’s like this. That’s why he needs to gather up strength and, one of the simplest ways to do this is making sure that he eats right.
That’s why he stopped with all his thinking for the moment. Asther focused on his meal. Taking a good serving on a smaller wooden bowl. There are a lot of things left to be done but, for that moment, Asther didn’t care about them. All he cares about is finishing the whole rabbit and stuffing his stomach. Giving his body the first proper meal it had in ages.

More than anything else, Asther simply wanted to take a rest. After everything that happened, his new body is already worn and tired. Probably due to the soul transfer, the fighting, and all the information he needed to take in. That’s why he wanted to sleep so badly and, that’s why his evening visitors got on his nerves.“Can’t a guy get some shut eye around here?”Asther isn’t a fool. With his trained assassin ears, he heard the footsteps that slowly came towards his house. These are sneakily, yet poorly made. That’s why he knows that it’s only a bunch of amateurs that’s coming for him. However, even amateurs can cause problems if not handled properly.“Should I just kill them on the spot? That’s probably the best course of action for me to take right now.” Asther thought to himself as he got up and took the knife in his pocket.“But that would cause problems tomorrow. I’m sure the villagers would ask where these individuals went.” Asther decided to peek through one of the holes in
The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World Three Idiots
What exactly happened to Asther that night? Well, the explanation is simple. The sniper went to the house of Baron. Using the memory of the body’s previous owner, Asther is able to find this without any difficulty.Baron is the son of the village chief. As far as the rules go, this also means that Baron is the next in line for the position of Chief. In this world, leadership is passed down from father to son. If there is no male representative from the main family, then the one who’d rule next would be taken from those of closest bloodline to this family.This is part of the reason why Baron is so bold with everything he does. The reason as to why he is not scared of the possibility of Asther reporting him to the authorities. It’s because this sorry excuse for a human has a high position in the village. But it’s not like this is the larger reason to why Asther can’t report.No matter what he does, society will never take Asther’s side. After all, he’s a curse. A bastard son from a hol

Asther got up early in the morning. Long before the sun could come out, the teen is already geared up for the day ahead. There are things that require preparation by him after all. That’s why he needs to get up early.He took his new daggers, his flint and steel and, also a piece of rope which he also stole from Baron’s room. After this he opened the System. Making sure of things before he continued with his plans.“Show me the information about the centipedes.”[Yes Master]Since Asther has leveled up, he can now see some of the information that has been blocked from him because of the level gap he had with the centipedes when he fought these.[Information: Although they don’t use it for combat, the bodies of the centipedes are actually filled with venomous liquids. These are lethal once injected to any person. Killing them in a matter of seconds.]“Perfect.” Asther said after reading through the whole thing. “That’s exactly the kind of thing that I need to see.”[Master.]“Yes? What
The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World Assassination
An assassination is never anything grand. It happens the quickest way possible, using the most efficient route there is. Some may call it cowardly and some may even deem it as an underhanded tactic. But whatever it is called and, however it is viewed, the reaper doesn’t care. In the end, he’s the one alive and, those that question his methods have their lives taken from them.Asther assassinated the three murderers of his body’s original wielder. He did so using a simple, yet well thought of, plan. First he went back to the cave and extracted the poison from the bodies of the centipedes. He placed all of this on a small vial that he also took from the village. He also took three parts of the centipede’s shells. Thinking that this might be useful for him later on.After this he went to his hunting spot and prepared the trap. He dug up a hole using a makeshift shovel. Combining a tree branch and the centipede shell which he tied together. With this, he made the hole needed for his trap.

Just as Asther planned, he came back in the afternoon. There’s a bit of problem that came with this. That is, due to his skill [Cleanup] he can’t get the rabbit corpses anymore. Instead, he is given finely cut parts of it and he has to explain it to the guard Thomas who, was approaching him again.“You don’t seem to have anything on you today. That’s gonna be bad for you.” The guard said, making the bones on his fingers pop.“Actually, it’s the other way around sir.” Asther opened the big cloth pouch that he had on his back. On this are the parts of the rabbit. The hair is already taken away from it, leaving only the flesh and the parts that can be eaten.“I figured that you’d have trouble skinning the rabbits so I did it myself.”“You saying we can’t skin a rabbit?”“No sir. I just didn’t want you to waste your precious time on something that I can do myself.”“Well would you look at that.” Thomas brushed the hair of Asther. “You’ve been doing a good job since yesterday kid.”Everyth
The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World Nullification
Although life may seem unfair to the original Asther, there are actually rules and regulations implemented in order to ensure that there is justice in Jhinn. This is done through the use of a sacred spell that is given to every juror that resides within a place. These jurors are individuals who have been blessed by the goddess of justice herself. And, through the spell bestowed upon them, nobody can utter a single lie.This has allowed aristocrats to be taken down from their high positions. This has also allowed a lot of good willed people to rise into power. This has allowed the weak and the powerless to get the justice that they wish for.Although it may sound good on paper, this system is not fool proof in itself. There are a lot of things that are lacking in it. For one thing, the jurors themselves can be bribed. Given the right amount of money, they would fake the results of any trial or interrogation. Other than this, there are also cases where a juror’s life is threatened, thus

“This is nonsense! Why is he still alive.”“Like what I told you Gunther, I used Judgement on him and all the accusations that you placed on him are proven to be false.”The juror met up with the elder within the later mentioned person’s house. Gunther, the elder of the village, thought that the juror would bring him good news. After all, this person is also indebted to them and to all the favors that they have granted the old man.That’s why the expression on his face easily turned sour when the juror talked of Asther’s innocence. Something which Gunther cannot accept no matter how much the juror tried to explain things reasonably.“He’s the village’s curse. There’s no way that he’s not involved with this.” Gunther said.“You do know that simply giving him an ominous title such as that doesn’t prove anything right? For all we know, the real culprit could be anyone from your village.”“No. That’s not possible. I know how fond my son is with torturing that piece of trash. There isn’t a
The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World Books and a Juror
Unlike what the juror thought, Asther actually slept early last night. He didn’t stay up reading through the books. The reaper knows that it’s valuable for both the mind and the body to have a proper amount of sleep. This allows him to be at his optimal condition. Performing at his best so as not to have any delays in his plans.Due to this, Asther also woke up early. He got up from his bed and, as he looked around, he saw that Thomas is still asleep on the bed opposite to his. There is a lamp that lights up the place, revealing the walls of rocks and wood, as well as the wooden table in the middle of the room.There are also chests and other items placed at the side of a wall. These are things owned by the juror. And as to why he just left it there with the boy who is labeled as a curse is something which Asther has yet to understand, nor is he planning to understand it at the very least. The only thing that is of interest to him are the books that he wants to continue reading.“Okay

Progress
[Notice: The quest, Defeat the Forest Guardians have been updated.][Forest Guardians defeated: 2/3]“Well, that’s a surprise.”Asther read this message as soon as he finished clearing up two more monster camps. The necromancer used the same combination that he did earlier on. He used the domain of the high ogre bloodbornes in order for his operation to go unnoticed and, as for the source of damage, Asther made use of something else this time around. He made use of his Direwolves and made these fight against the monsters over and over again.The necromancer did this in order to put a little test into practice. Surely enough, it yielded him positive results. But before we move on to this part of the story, let us first focus on the necromancer’s reaction to the news about his allies.Asther knew that this would happen sooner or later. After all, these are individuals that he trained himself. Apart from this, they are also partially blessed with the system. With the party function apply
Against a Wyvern II
The wyvern screamed from the amount of pain it experienced from the attack. This much is acceptable because, after all, it has finally been wounded. The wyvern probably never had any damage all of its life due to its thick scales. But there it is now, finally receiving the first bit of damage after a long time. And it isn’t even a slight scratch at that. The attack that hit it, dug deep into its flesh. Opening up a wound and leaving a burning sensation that drove the creature crazy.It began to flail its body around. The wyvern thrashed the pillars with the wild sweeping of its tail. This is accompanied by the swinging of its arms. Destroying almost the same number of pillars that its tail is capable of.This would’ve been the perfect opportunity to follow up the attack. If not for the fact that the frenzied state of the monster isn’t something that they can easily get close to. Nor would Claire and her allies chose to do so because of how dangerous it all looked. Since the monster is
Against a Wyvern
Blood red wings that seem to burn under the sunlight. Gleaming yellow eyes which pierced through everything it gazes upon. Crystal like claws that are sharp enough to make anyone uncomfortable just from looking at them. Scales that seem sturdier than any outward armor that a golem could ever fathom. A tail long and whip like. With flames coming out of it.This is the full form of the wyvern that Claire’s team needs to face. Fortunately for them, they didn’t die from the attack that the creature made. This is because the saintess shielded them from the blow. Claire made use of her powers. Creating a barrier that can only be mustered by someone as her. A person that has been chosen by one of the deities. She used all of the mana of light that she can borrow from her generous benefactress, creating a type of barrier that can negate a certain amount of damage.Thankfully, it is strong enough to block the entirety of the blow. Breaking just as soon as the breath of flames ended and, leavin
The Second Forest Guardian
The fight is finally reaching the part where Claire is intending it to reach. The final part. The climax, if it can even be called that. With less than forty enemies needing to be defeated, Claire’s team is now in a position where they can continue the fight with less tension. Of course they still need to focus on taking down all of their enemies but, since there are now less than when they started off with, it removes a lot of the problems that they initially had as well.These including the continuous use of earthquake to change the terrain in their favor. This also includes the fact that they needed to put out flames and magma which, will now be greatly reduced as well. With all of this being said, there is one more problem that can rise for the group. Actually, this is the only real problem and threat for the group. The guardian of the forest and the leader of this group of monsters. The Blood Basilisk.The group doesn’t know that this is the type of basilisk that they need to fac
Judgement and Crucifixion
The fight continued to move in the favor of Claire and her allies. There is nothing that their opponents could do about them anymore. Everything continued moving in the direction that Claire intended it to. Almost as if she has full control of everything that is happening at that moment. But aside from this, there’s also the fact that she’s doing her best in raising her awareness of the whole surroundings. Her level isn’t as good as Asther’s of course. She can never match the level of the necromancer. Nevertheless, she is still on a level which is acceptable. On a level where it can be said that they will not easily lose to the likes of the basilisks that they are facing.“What else do we need to do your highness?” The two soldiers asked as soon as they are finished with their task.“We need to reduce the number of basilisks as quickly as we can. Otherwise, we’d probably go through the same thing again.”As she said this, Claire watched Octavia hold back a total of twenty basilisks al
Almost a Perfect Strategy
Just like the camp of the Direwolves, there are at least a hundred rampaging basilisk that are within the nest of the guardian. This much can be expected because it is the nest of the guardian after all. But even if this is so, there is not much difficulty on the part of Claire and her allies. Making them all feel that this is somehow unreal.Sure they don’t have the assistance of Asther’s undead anymore. This allows the basilisks to attack them more freely and adding to the number of the creatures that can come at them. However, the pillars that Parch created, as well as the disfigurement of the ground are enough to make the basilisks have a hard time attacking them.Unlike these monsters, the group isn’t that bothered with the terrain shifting in this manner. By this time they are already used to the tremors created by parch. And while the other thing that it creates is something that is relatively new to the group as well, the fact still remains that they are prepared for it. That
Drawing Blood
“Hey slowpokes hurry up!”Tyre commented as soon as he killed the first monster. He hasn’t done this before because it is always either Claire or Octavia that makes the first kill. That is why he feels proud of himself for being able to do this. Yet, this pride of his didn’t last long because of the events that happened next.Right as the first basilisk fell, the shadow of a person could be seen on the ground, coming from up high. Some of the basilisks looked towards this direction and saw Octavia. The female knight has already charged her claymore with dark mana. And without a moment of hesitation, she fired this at the basilisks.Five of the creatures are unfortunate enough to make contact with the spell. This isn’t able to kill them because of the same thing that Tyre had trouble with. They have armor that is thicker than normal. Nevertheless, the same attack is able to create an opening on their backs.Octavia isn’t able to make her secondary attack right away since the other basi
Striking Down First Blood
[Rampaging Basilisk]This is the class of the monster that Claire and her allies needs to face. They do not have any sort of system analysis which they can use to see the full details of the monsters but, it’s not like they need to. Yes this would help in making the fight more advantageous for them but, as it is, the fight is already going in their favor.Even without seeing what the basilisks are fully capable of, Claire knows the general capabilities of basilisks already. The same is true with her allies. And although there are added features to basilisk that aren’t part of the regular version, this difference would only cause a bit of problem at best. After all, Claire and her allies have their ego weapons which they can use. Weapons that would allow them to win easier in that fight because of the overwhelming strength contained on every weapon.“So, you think we should start the fight already?” Octavia asked.The group is positioned behind a bush. Unlike the other areas of fights
Claire and Her Team
While Asther advanced with his plans on the canyon, his allies also did the same. Claire and the others have wiped out another monster nest during the time that Asther has been away from them. They can only cover this much because, only a day has passed since Asther left. Plus, there is also the fact that Claire is still trying to internalize everything that the necromancer told her. About him being chosen by the god of war who, is a benefactor of the demon lord. And how Asther has been given a mission to kill the same creature disguising himself as the hero.Yet this alone is not enough to make Claire forget her duties to the group. She is still able to lead proficiently. There are a couple of mistakes and errors along the way of course. However, this is not enough to make Claire forget about her duties and responsibilities. Allowing the said mistakes to only be minimal.Right after the hunt, the group went back to camp by foot. This allowed Claire to have time to think. To erase tho
