2024-10-29 19:42:56What 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 holy lineage. His very existence is seen as an abnormality, like he isn’t supposed to exist in the first place. That’s why Baron can be so bold so as to attempt the murder of this teen. But, all of that will change with the coming of the reaper.
The new Asther moved through the shadows of the house. If there’s one thing he’s sure of, it’s that nobody is competing for the position of chieftain. Nobody wants to take this away from the main family and from Baron. Because of this, there’s no need for security around the house – making it easier for Asther to infiltrate it.
The house is a two-story building. Asther is sure that whatever he’s looking for, he will find it on the second floor of the house. Hence he proceeded to searching for a way to get to it quickly. Luckily, there are two stacked up crates at the side of the house. Above it is a window that’s left open. The crates aren’t high enough to reach the windows but, it’s enough for Asther to use to his advantage.
“That’s not good. You’ll get yourselves robbed if you place an obvious ladder like that.” Asther grinned as he stepped back a bit.
Without hesitation, the teen ran towards this, moving from the first level of the crate to the second. As soon as he reached the top, he leapt up and made two more steps on the wall itself. This allowed him to reach the window of the house, grabbing on to it and pulling himself up as he immediately passed through.
He made a quick scan of the room and, a smile formed on his lips. “Would you look at that.”
Even by relying simply on the light provided by the moon, Asther can see a lot of the room’s details clearly. Specifically, he saw the boots that Baron liked to use. The jacket that he prides himself on and wears whenever there is an occasion and, most importantly, the hunting knife gifted to him by his father.
“There you are.”
This is the reason for Asther’s evening visit to the teen’s home. He is there to steal the knife and he did. The professional assassin found no trouble taking it without making any noise. And as soon as he finished with what he needed to do, he jumped through the window and disappeared in the night.
The rest that happened are things you are already aware of. The teen went back to his home where the three bullies are. Before he showed himself to them, he made sure to fill Baron’s knife with blood that came from the rabbit’s severed organ which he brought along. Then, he gave the bullies a bit of a jumpscare by suddenly appearing behind them.
This is how he set up the perfect stage. But, what is the purpose of doing all this exactly? The answer to that is something that will unfold soon enough. Right as the sun rose again and a new day began for the village.
…
“What are we gonna do Baron?”
“What do you think James? We’re gonna kill him a second time of course.”
Baron and his goons met up as soon as they had their breakfasts. The three bullies are actually from well known families within the village. That is part of the reason why they are spoiled, because their parents kept on giving them all that they wanted. To the point that it became excessive.
Whatever these three desired, they made sure that they get it. And at that moment, what they want is nothing more than to get rid of the curse named Asther.
“But what if he comes back again from the dead? What would we do then?” James asked.
“Are you an idiot? He didn’t come back from the dead.” Baron replied. “I don’t know what kind of luck he used but, he probably had a safe landing of some sort.”
“But the pit is filled by nothing but hard rocks.” Chad commented.
“Don’t you think I know that Chad?” Baron furrowed his eyebrows. “He’s obviously a weed, that’s why it’s hard to kill him. He’s being a resilient pest.”
Baron then remembered how Asther approached him that night. How the teen suddenly tapped his shoulder. Something that Asther has never done before. And to make things even more shocking, this same teen even stared at his eyes and talked to him casually – like they are on the same level. All these things put together pissed Baron off. To the point that he just wanted to execute Asther at the center of the village in broad daylight.
“That sorry excuse for a human must’ve gotten some balls after surviving the fall. He must think he’s some kind of hot shot now.” Baron punched the wooden wall at his side. His fist buried into it, breaking the plank as the teen retracted his fist right away. Not showing any signs of getting hurt nor getting wounded.
“We’re gonna head for the forest. If he’s not afraid of us, then he’d come back to his usual hunting spot looking for wild animals.”
“But what if he sets up traps for us?”
“Come on guys. Have you ever seen that person doing anything competent in his life?” Baron asked. “Even if he sets up a trap, we’d be able to see it from a mile away. That much I can guarantee to you. Now, what do you say?”
His two lackeys stared at each other. They both looked for the confidence Baron is displaying from the other’s eyes. And, although there’s only a faint amount of it that they saw, they nevertheless took this as the determination they sought.
“Alright Baron.” Chad said.
“Lead the way.” James added.
“Good.” Baron stood up from his chair. “Let’s go kill that f*cker.”

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.

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

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
The Greatest Sniper Reincarnates in a Fantasy World Gamble
The meal is nothing like what Asther expected. The boy thought that he would see some common food on the table. After all, there’s no reason to prepare anything extravagant. He’s not even an honored guest in that house. He’s a prisoner and, the person who’s guarding him isn’t special as well. That’s why the luxurious looking meal didn’t makes sense to him.“Take a seat, the food will go cold if all you do is stare on it.”“Yes your honor.” Asther waited for Thomas and the maid to be seated first. It’s only after this that he decided to take a seat himself. Choosing the spot at the side right after the maid.“No. You’re sitting close to me kid.” The juror commanded.“As you wish your honor.” Asther replied, changing places with Thomas who is at the left side of the table.“Dig in everyone. I promise you that the food my maid prepares is something to die for.” The juror claimed.Thomas didn’t hesitate to take a bite. As for Asther, he looked at the food closely for two seconds. Then he

As soon as breakfast finished, Asther went back to the basement of Boreas’ house. Thomas isn’t there anymore and, the teen expected this. There must’ve been some level of humiliation brought upon Thomas because of the conversation at the dining table. That’s why this guard is not there.Asther believes that this person went out to get some fresh air. He has no idea about the hobbies of Thomas but, he’s sure that this guard would go somewhere near the walls and talk with his palls.“That would take him some time to come back from…perfect.” Asther opened the System window. He has learned to control this to an extent that, it won’t suddenly pop out without his consent.He activated the feature [Silent Mode]. Disabling any notification given by the System which allows Asther to chose the time when he wants to see these. And with Thomas not being there, the teen thought of no better opportunity to proceed with this.[Congratulations! You have successfully finished the optional quest.][10

[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.

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.
