《Assassin God》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Inside a gray space Vel was facing a man in a butler outfit and looks to be about in his mid-thirties.
“What is this place and who are you” Vel asked while only seeing gray space and trying to stay calm.
“I am your trainer and butler call me Leigh and this place we are at is your training ground”
“how do I leave” Vel asked as he didn’t know how he got here.
“By simple thinking of wanting to exit”
“What the training ground for” Vel asked
“To turn you into the best Assassin” Leigh said pulling up his status screen.
Name: Vel
Assassin Title: Assassin God
Rank: Trainee
Experience: 0/100
“What is the rank about” Vel asks looking at this totally confused.
“The ranks go like: Trainee, Apprentice Assassin, Assassin, Master Assassin, Grandmaster Assassin” System patiently answered his questions.
“How do I gain experience” Vel asked.
“By killing of course and the system will give you quest from time to time which you have to complete”
“When do we start” Vel asked as this is his first step toward revenge.
“Now and we’re going to start off with survival skills” Leigh said and the surround changed into a forest.
“Survival skills?” Vel looked confused not understanding as he wanted to get strong quickly.
“Survival skills has many advantages to you as an assassin because they will teach you how to survive almost anywhere or situation, next how track and locate target and help by honing your senses” Leigh replied and begins to teach the basics skill set.
Vel begins to watch and learn like a sponge soaking up information mastering the basics. Leigh also taught him how to blend in and conceal his presence as while his first skill known as ‘ghost steps’ which removes all sound from his steps when completely mastered.

After what felt like a week Vel exit the training ground but only an hour passed outside.
“Leigh said I mastered basic survival skills and has a solid foundation in ‘ghost steps’” Vel said as he heading to the forest to locate food as he hasn’t eaten in a week an extremely staved with hardly any energy to move.
When he walked into forest began putting his new skills to the test as he began tracking down his targets such as rabbits or small animals along with edible plants. After he hunted down and captured three rabbits he skinned them but ate in small settings as he hasn’t eaten in a week and didn’t want to die from overeating.
“Time to start training” Vel said putting away his knife he received from his parents on his eighth birthday. The knife had simple look but has a skull on its handle. His father said it used to belong to his great-great-great grandfather who was a famous assassin who even killed the king and disappeared without a trace.
A week has passed since Vel receive the system. Now Vel felt was the day he should leave behind his village and headed toward the nearest town.
The town since it located near the border and the noble who rules the area never pays any attention to it the crimes are a daily occurrence. Vel made his way through the gate with ease as most of the guards are corrupt and he handed over some animal furs that worth few silver.
“This place is a great place to gain experience” Leigh said as he looked through Vel eyes.
“I need to find my base of operation” Vel started looking for an area where he can hide and had space to train in.
As Vel walked around the town looking he soon arrived at abandon warehouse that looked no one entered in years.

“This place is perfect” was Vel thinking as entered and looked inside. The inside was mostly empty as most of it was moved after it was abandon and looks like the homeless stays far away from this place as it's about a forty-minute walk to the main road.
“Mission 1: Assassinate Guard Captain Chris Time limit: 86 Hours”
“My first mission” Vel said excitedly as he can put his new skill to the test.
As Leigh watched Vel excitement he was worried as the boy going to taking it as a game. So, when Vel entered next time he going to start training his mental state.
“Leigh, I got my first mission” Vel appeared in the training ground.
“Vel why are you treating this as a game being an assassin is not a game. The assassins who treat it as a game are the one who dies first or went insane and ended themselves” Leigh begins warning him about how dangerous his thought process could affect him.
“That was bad as I was treating this as a game” Vel was afraid he ended up dying before he got his revenge.
“Leigh can I have a simulation to practice on” Vel asked as never practice sneaking around guards and guard dogs.
“Very well the first level is to break in and kill the low ranking noble and exit without being detected” Leigh gave him instruction on what his mission was.
The training ground change and Vel was outside the walls of the noble house late at night. Vel climbs up the wall only to be caught by guard dogs leading him to be bitten to death. Vel kept trying over and over but still kept getting caught by the dogs or a patrolling guard.
“This is serious hard” Vel said as Leigh appeared by his side.
“Being an assassin is a very stressful job that why most don’t have long careers but the ones that do have some way to help relax for example sitting alone or light training or reading and list goes on. But the ones who sit alone or don't have relaxing method have a higher chance of killing themselves” Leigh gave him advice about the psychology of assassin.
“But how that going to help me with this” Vel wanted advice on how to get through this.
“You have the skills but you’re not using all of them and think outside the box and not like a thief” Leigh said before disappearing.
“Think outside the box… I got it” Vel said as he lured a guard over and knocking him out while taking his outfit before he ran into a problem he looks like a kid. He found few poles nearby which could give him the height and modification to the arms making his face the problem.
“As long I have my face down I should be fine” Vel said as he walked into the mansion and walk toward the nobles’ room. He quickly gives them a fake order about a group trying to attack and they need to rush there to help.
“So glad Leigh taught how to change the sound of my voice” Vel quickly entered the room and walked beside the bed and slashed the noble throat and left after making sure he died.
He made his way out undetected and complete the training level.
“Congratulations you completed level one” Leigh said.
“Thanks” Vel said before leaving the training ground and went to sleep.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Chaos Wave
The year is 2055. Virtual Reality has been around for nearly forty years, and the Full Sensation Dive System has been around for about thirty. The various countries of Earth have long since given up on Warring against each other in this dimension when it turned out that with the FSDS (Full Sensation Dive System) virtual worlds became real, especially once Richard Alonzo Albeque's AIQNPC (Artificial Intelligence Quest and Non-Player Character) System was released and spread like a wild virus across all the active MMOs. People vanished from their Dive system, leaving nothing behind of the person they were, and the Characters they were in game become locked out, and no longer responsive to the System. In addition to this, they are suddenly showing up on ALL servers of a game at the same time, almost as if they were now an NPC. The governments put a stop to all distribution of FSDS Technology, and keep an eye on these 'Digitized Players'. Ten years pass and one of the first ever Digitized Players, a Level 500 Catgirl by the name of Atreya the Dawnbirth, created a stable portal between their MMO and Earth. With the return of one of the players, the governments remove the bans on FSDS Technology, which has still been researched heavily while under the ban. Wars break out over control of Virtual Worlds, but these wars are all fought ON the Virtual World, so the Earth isn't polluted further. Immortality is now available to all who seek it, if you can find a World to call your own. Of course, nobody paid attention to one of the few warnings Atreya brought back with her... The NPCs sometimes became sentient and disobeyed coding laws.

Nova: Omega
Nova: Omega is the story of Hitori Seishin, a mercenary on the planet of Esper. He leads Omega team in the Nova Mercenary Academy, and is the son of the legendary warrior Maia Seishin, now deceased. He is in the final days of his education at the elite Academy, where at the last minute he’s assigned a new teammate, Elvira. She is a total novice, but her unique abilities make her a promising addition to his team. We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
