《Assassin Alonne》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Alonne knew what a status was and he was ecstatic to see that he got one. As a master assassin, he couldn't feel nearly as much pain as other people. It was one of the many requirements as an assassin to tone down the amount of pain you feel by repeatedly having unbearable pain. For example, being shocked, being stabbed, being sliced open, being burned, etc. He wasn't attempting to train his body but his mind. He wanted the willpower to ignore pain.
Alonne was able to ignore the pain from the fall completely and read what his status said.

Health: 3/14
Agility: 21
Spirit: 17
Innate Skill: Evolution
Skills: None
Alonne excitedly read until he got to his species which normal people's status does not have.
'Wolf...?'
Alonne looked at himself and saw two white soft paws instead of hands.
'What the...?!'
Being an assassin, Alonne was really good at adapting to new situations quickly, but this took even him a while to deal with. He sat completely still without making a sound for 5 minutes. He then suddenly got up or attempted to at least. He was stumbling over and over trying to escape the city.[1]
'If anyone sees me then they will probably send a request to the nearest guild. I will probably have to go to the forest in the middle of the city. It's definitely large enough and I'll be able to hunt monsters for food. Money is useless now. I have to escape!'
When a hunter Isn't associated with any guild then they are called a hunter, but when they are a member of a guild they are called a 'guardian'.
Alonne's current appearance was that of a beautiful white wolf with a dim green glow trailing him. His once black eyes were now a spectacular golden hue.

He was about halfway to his destination he heard a trash can fall over.
'A raccoon?'
By now his walk had strained out and he was confident in his abilities to defend himself until he got to the forest. A German shepherd appeared from behind the trash can. It saw him and started growling.
'Well... I am a bit hungry'
The wolf returned a growl in kind and the two started circling while growling. If this was a dogfighting arena then everyone would pay quite a lot to see a fight like this. However, Alonne didn't have any intention to let this encounter drag on long enough to be called a fight.
Soon the German shepherd lunged out to bite the wolf. The wolf ducked under the bite. Then before the German shepherd could get away the wolf used all his might to sink his teeth into the bottom of the dog's neck. The wolf the yanked as hard as it could. Whimpers could be heard through the forest. Then it was silent. The wolf could be seen eating the German shepherd. Then his status appeared.
[Alonne]
Level: 1
Species: Wolf
Strength: 12
Health: 6/14
Agility: 21
Spirit: 17
Innate Skill: Evolution, Predator
Skills: None
He had gained an innate skill, which was thought to be impossible for hunters. Even the best of the best only had one innate skill. Alonne tapped on the skill with his nose and another window popped up.
Predator: 200% experience if you eat the enemy that you killed.
The wolf let out a prideful howl and continued on to the forest. The name of the forest was the Seron forest.
The wolf had arrived at his destination. There was grass everywhere with the occasional boulder dotting the forest. There were tall trees that would cast shade upon which Alonne could lay in when it became morning. For now, the wolf found a good hiding spot in between a few massive boulders larger than cars and went to sleep.
When it became morning the wolf opened his eyes and found a middle-aged man with black hair peering down at him from the top of the boulder.

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.
