As the sun came over the horizon and the morning mist still clung to the ground in a small clearing a few miles deep in the forest that surrounds the port city of Darlung was a single figure. He was standing next to a handmade fire pit where a couple of rabbits could be seen slowly roasting. As he stood there watching to make sure his breakfast wouldn't burn you would think he was some kind of woodsman or hunter but that was far from the truth.

If you were too take a good look at that man you would see a few very unusual things. The first thing you would notice would be his most striking feature, his single black wing that sprouted from his back just behind his left shoulder. The next thing you would notice is that he was young,much too young to be a hunter with the experience to live in this forest known for being the home of strong monsters. Finally if you were to take a good look at him you could see he was thin unnaturally so even but if you were to ask him about it he would just nonchalantly answer with "this is how I've always been so pay it no mind" with a smile on his face that would make any woman swoon. Or that would be the case if he wasn't avoided like a plague do to being thrown out by his whole race being seen as the one who will bring doom to the world just by existing.

His name is Ley but that name is the one he gave himself when he was little since he had no name given to him by his parents before he was thrown away on the same day he was born. He knows who his parents are simply because the race that Ley is from 'the celestials' are born with the ability to completely understand what going on around them. He could understand what was said about him by his parents and the doctor that had preformed the delivery.

Basically nothing good could be said about him even by his own parents the king and queen of the celestials. Yep that's right our poor pathetic friend here is a prince that was not even given a chance too know what living the life of a celestial was like. But no matter how much loneliness he felt he still didn't blame anyone for his misfortune he believed it was just the lot in life given to him by the gods and went about his life trying too find whatever joy he could day to day. Then just as every other day Ley started by having breakfast but unlike any day that came before today something was going too break the endless cycle of his day to day life. Today something would happen that would change his life forever and be the start of his rise from the most hated thing on the planet to someone the world would come too respect and adore.

Ley- Well now that I've eaten what should i do? Should I go over to the lake and go for a swim or just head into town and see if i can find any new books to add to my collection?

"sigh" Man I just don't feel like getting the evil eye of death treatment today so i guess i head to the lake.

On his way to the lake Ley noticed something glowing on the tree he's passed so many times he could state from memory where every scratch, break, and chip was on it. This strange glow was new and Ley had a sense of curiosity that would make all the cats in the world shriek in terror each time he found something new to learn about.

(I'm referring to the old saying" curiously killed the cat" here for those who don't understand my wording)

As Ley approached the strange glow something tickled at the back of his mind. That was his sense of self preservation screaming at him " get the hell out of here idiot" but as usual his curiosity gave that feeling a good ol' suplex and shut it up and sent it to its corner.

Ley- Hmm what is this, I've never seen this thing here before? It looks like some kind of glyph or rune but why is it here of all places, I'm sure it wasn't here yesterday when i came this way but there hasn't been anyone come through this part of the forest but me in years so how?

As Ley was asking all these questions the strange symbol started moving while his attention was focused on his questions. When he finally stopped mumbling to himself he looked up and saw something that most people would say he was insane or not all there if he told them.

Ley- Huuuuuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the actually hell am i seeing, this isn't possible magic runes and glyphs can't just rearrange and rewrite themselves I know that much about magic even if i can't use it.

As Ley was having a panic attack from what was happening in front of him and thinking the years of loneliness had finally broke him and he went insane a voice spoke as if from no where.

???- Please calm down Ley you aren't insane so take a deep breath and steady yourself.

Ley- Huh?!?! Who's there? Where are you? How do you know my name? And more importantly why are you talking to me?

Ley was starting too really panic and question his sanity now that he was hearing a voice that came from nowhere. His eyes darted back and forth, His teeth chattered uncontrollably, and he was viably sweating buckets. When he was about to lose it for real and just bang his head against a tree till the voice stopped then he came to a revelation.

Ley- Ah I see, I understand now. So that's what this is huh, well no matter I was ready for this day to come eventually. It was nice while it lasted but as they say "all good things must come to an end."

???- Um might i ask what you're talking about you seem to have come to a conclusion of some sort but the way your talking makes me think there might be some sort of misunderstanding going on.

Ley- Miss........ Um whoever you are I understand completely what going on and i knew it would happen someday so I'm ready just do it.

???- Do what exactly? I'm not sure what you mean.More to the point how is it possible for you to have predicted this meeting. It's not possible for you to have foreseen this happening.

Ley- Look I really don't care if you like making this slow and painful but please don't treat me like I'm an idiot. I'm a celestial and just like any other celestial i could understand everything that was said about me when I was born and none of it was good. It's not too hard too figure out that my existence was something that was going too be ended by order of my father the king. So get on with it slit my throat or is it that really do want to draw this out. In that case here's a few ideas to make it more enjoyable for you. You can rip every feather out of my wing one by one until there's none left then cover me in dozens of small cuts and fill them with salt after that tie me to a post and light a fire under me and enjoy the show of me burning alive till my screams stop and i no longer breathe. Hows that for the long drawn out death show you want.

???-............................

Ley- What still not good enough? Hmm let me think i guess you could also..

As if the doors of hell themselves opened up an unfathomable dread could be felt coming from the voice as it screamed.

??? Stop!!!!!!!!! Why would you think i would do anything like that also why would you think you were going to be killed in the first place and just calmly start listing off methods that even the inquisitors from hell wouldn't use unless it was for a person that was so vile and evil that they could only be called worse then a demon. What brought you to the point of expecting someone too just show up one day and kill you and not even care that you were going to die like is was a natural thing to be murdered just like that.

Ley was thrown off for a second. He couldn't understand what this person was playing at. Was she trying to open me up to an attack? But she didn't need to i was willing to just stand here and accept her blade or spell and die to make everyone happy.

Ley- Well I mean it's just that everyone in the world hates me even if its just because i was born with a single black wing. I don't blame anyone for my shitty life and I certainly don't hold any animosity for anyone. But I do concede to the fact that if I were to die the world would be happy about it so I was just waiting for the day my end would come and the joy it would bring the world.

The voice was speechless, it couldn't understand how the person in front of her who she had waited patiently to let grow up and mature enough for her to give him the thing she had developed just for him was so so positive about his own death without a single trace of fear when confronted by it.

???- I'm not here to kill you and more over the world might think bad of you now but you have an important role to play. That's why I've done everything in my power to make sure you lived till now.

Once again Ley was dumbstruck. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to keep him alive. He was called the blightbringer by his parents on the day of his birth so why would anyone intentionally keep him alive unless.

Ley- Hey this role you say I have you're refering to the whole blightbringer thing my parents called me aren't you?

???- Blightbringer!!!!!!!! Who the hell called you that!!!! I'll rip them limb from limb!!! To call my chosen such a thing is unforgivable!!

Ley was shocked by the voices sudden outburst of rage to the point he almost ran away but something was rooting him firmly in place so he asked the only thing that could come to mind.

Ley- who, who are you?

The voice suddenly caught herself and realized she lost her temper. After taking a moment to collect herself she answered him.

???- Well i can't say much right now so lets just say I'm your benefactor and you are my charge. However you will meet me in person soon enough and when that happens I'll explain everything in detail. But before that happens certain events must come to pass first. Anyway this initial first meeting was to give you a gift something you will need in the future so use all the time you can to learn how to use it. It come with some basic instructions built in but the more advanced stuff is up to how you use and develop it.

At that moment the strange glowing symbol on the tree shot into the air and started to multiply into countless different runes and glyphs until they had entirely surrounded Ley on all sides then started flying into him one by one in an order that only the voice could understand.

When The light from the symbols faded and Ley could see again he felt something, something he never felt before. Is was like he could feel the ground under his feet through his shoes and the water of the lake that was still half a mile away. In short it was sensory overload and he feel back on his butt with a thud.

Ley- What's going on I can't focus my eyes and my head feels like it's gonna pop?!?!

???- Keep calm it will subside in a few minutes, your body just needs to adapt to the new power inside it.

Ley- New Power?? I don't know if you knew this or not but i have little to no mana in my body and physically I'm even weaker so no matter what this gift is unless it can break the laws of nature it's wasted on me.

The voice let out a cute giggle that turned into outright laughter that would make you believe she was on the ground clutching her sides. She finally calmed down and explained.

???- This power doesn't use mana nor does it require you to be physically strong. It's a power that lets you feel and connect to the elements themselves and use them based on your will. Simply put you can connect to an element water for example and will it to do what you desire so long as you understand fully the process of what you're willing it to do. There are limitations though like for instance you can't will the earth to become water, you can draw water from within the earth but the earth itself cannot become water at best it can become soupy mud by being over saturated with water but that's it. How you control and develop this power is up to you but I suggest you don't waste time and learn how to use it effectively as soon as possible.

Ley- Why do i need to learn so fast is something bad going to happen to the point that I'll need this power to protect myself or others soon?

Ley had a worried expression on his face and a feeling of fear in his heart and as if she sensed this the voice answered in a gentle way.

??? Unfortunately I can't say if it will be soon or if it will be years from now but i can say that you need to be prepared for when it does happen not just for your sake but for for the sake of everyone.

Ley felt the weight of those words with his whole being and took them too heart. He may of not known who this mysterious benefactor of his was but he felt for whatever reason he could trust her and vowed in his heart he would master this power that was given to him to the utmost no matter what it took. He would do it not for himself but for the people that lived their lives in peace and have done no wrong deserving of having that taken away. Even if they hated him he didn't hate them in fact he envied their lives with friends and family the two thing he wanted more then anything else in the world. He would gain the strength to make sure they didn't lose that greatest of things called loved ones.

Hi there chaos here. Just wanted too say hi and explain a few thing about myself and this story.

First is that i am by no means even a B grade author this is just something i wanted to do for fun and use my endless amount of free time. That being said if i get even 1 or 2 people who enjoy this story I fully intend to write until i finish the story to it's end and not drop it for anything. I'm completely unsure of how long this story will be if i get those 1 or 2 ppl who will come back and read each release but i do know it won't be short most definitely over 100 ch but past that i don't know how long it will be before i hit the end game part of the story. I have so much planned for this story so please don't leave me hanging i really want to do this. A few things i want to get out there is 1. Ley will 100% not be an mc that becomes so OP even the gods need to wear brown pants when thinking of him 2. he will not be an mc that gets a harem there will be a love interest down the line but no harems. Don't get me wrong I enjoy harems in the fictions here on rrl but in my experience the harem factor has made a lot of people write themselves into a corner or there are so many girls you can't keep track of who's who and i don't want that for my story. 3. This is my first fiction so constructive criticisms are welcome and even wanted but I do have problems with my confidence so plz plz don't outright demolish my story with negative comments. If you don't like my story then don't read it and walk away destroying my ambition for this story might make me give up and quit and for the people who do like it they'd lose any future releases and i would would be heartbroken over causing that disappointment. And finally 4. This is something i do for fun in my free time and i have nothing but free time so expect regular releases multiple times a week or at least that's gonna be my initial rate i might slow down later but not by much and of course i will give notice if I'm gonna take a break or have to hold back a chapter due to reasons unforeseen at this moment. Thx and hope you enjoy Fate's Assassin.
