《Assassin God》Chapter 7
Advertisement
An unknown amount of time has passed since Jotol told Vel to hide.
“Jotol when are you coming back” Vel said in a hoarse voice from crying.
“The servants of light should be gone maybe I should go looking for him” Vel thought as he pushed open door but what greeted him was something he would never forget.
The workshop was burned to the ground like the rest of the building or left in ruins as he looked around but what scared Vel the most was all the bodies of the townsfolk who were stack into a pile in the center of town. But what broke Vel was the body that was hung up above them as it belonged to Jotol.
“Why does this happen to me” Vel collapse to the ground in anger and sadness with bloody tears to running down his face.
‘Is it because I’m not strong enough or is someone out to kill me’ Vel thought in self-blame as anyone he ever cared for is now dead.
‘Maybe Leigh will have an answered’ Vel thought as if hoping for light in the dark tunnel.
“I don’t have the answered you looking for” Leigh said when he saw Vel appearance.
“Why don’t you. you’re supposed to know everything” Vel shout in anger after he heard this.
“I’m not the all knowing but what are you going to do about it” Leigh said trying to calm Vel down.
“I’m going to kill all those servants of light every single one of them” Vel said in a voice that would give devil chills.
“How are you going to reach that goal, are you going to walk right into their base and blow them up” Leigh asks.
“I’m going to train and kill them one by one to show them what true evil is causing them to run in fright every time they hear a rumor of me” Vel said finally calming down and thinking.

“Leigh is their anyway to train faster” Vel asks wanting to take revenge as quick as possible.
“There are but there are more negative than positive with such methods” Leigh said slowly.
“What are these methods” Vel demanded.
“I refuse to tell you as training step by step is what makes you truly strong” Leigh said.
“But at the pace, I’m training at they’re going to be dead before I get my chance” Vel said.
“If you’re that impatient it going to slow down the training which also means twice the effort but half the reward” Leigh said as he sits on a chair.
“So what your suggestion to move on with training” Vel asks.
“Why don’t you head towards the capital and do what training as” Leigh said causing confusion to show up on Vel face.
“Why the capital where they have the highest security” Vel can’t help but asks.
“Think Vel that where nobles live and rich merchants but don’t it mean more targets to assassinate which also mean faster training speeds” Leigh said staring at him.
“It a three-month trip to the capital but if I train along the way it could be longer” Vel said.
“Mission 3: Go to the capital and join the assassin guild, Time limit: 4 months”
“Fine to the capital” Vel said.
-Time Skip-
A boy who looks to be around eight or nine could be seen riding on a wagon.
“Sean grab me a snack will you” the merchant asks as he directs the wagon.
“Give me a second” Vel says with a smile as he hops in back.
When Vel enters the back of the wagon he grabs some tough bread and some water but he adds a little extra.
“Here you go” He smiles as he hands the food over.

The merchants took drink of water before he realized something wrong.
“What did you do to me” He says while coughing up blood.
“Add little poison to the water” Vel said in a monotone voice.
“Why” the merchant says before he dies and collapses to the floor.
“Because I was paid to kill you” Vel says as he walked into the forest soon arriving at a cabin. Inside the cabin two figures could be seen, one young girl and one old woman.
“The job is done now the payment” Vel asks the old woman.
“Here” she said tossing him three gold coins.
“You might want to bury her soon before she stinks the place up” Vel says pointing at corpse of the young girl as he left.
“You are correct” the old woman says as she began tossing oil around the house and lighting it.
“So this is her choice after she got her revenge” Vel mumbled as he watches the cabin burn down.
“Host has gained 10 experiences”
“Show status”
Name: Vel
Assassin Title: Assassin God
Rank: Trainee
Experience: 90/100
“One more kill and I rank up” Vel said looking at his status.
“You're making nice progress and by your progress you should arrive in the capital in about a week" Leigh says looking at Vel who growing into a fine assassin.
"My goal is to rank up before reaching the city" Vel says.
"I wouldn't since you been killing all the way here and now there a trail of bodies leading toward the capital" Leigh warns since Vel been sloppy in this part.
"Very well" Vel says disappointed when he left but knows Leigh only wants him to be careful.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

8 122The Cage
Mighty abominations and their more powerful gods dance between the galaxies in eternal migration, exploring, experimenting and playing. They leave destruction in their wake, heedless of the suffering of the sapients they slaughter, alter or drive to extinction as they toy with entire star systems for passing amusement. These monsters are called mankind. They are finally betrayed and defeated, but they cannot be killed. They are diminished and stripped of all memory of what they were, locked in a bottle reality on a false world called Earth. For thousands of years, mingled shards of their Broken Gods continue to chance across the cage that holds the species of their birth. The shards merge with suitable hosts to create empowered archetypes who awaken to supernatural Gifts and fractured dreams of a lost history. The greatest among them are magnificent heroes and villains: The Vigilante. The Mastermind. The Assassin. The Polymath. This is the story of their inferiors: The Beggar. The Homewrecker. The Gambler. The Henchman. The Miser. The Monster. Together, they will attempt to save the world, free humankind and escape the Cage. This will probably end really badly. *Cover art taken from internet source of free-use, uncopyrighted photos and images.
