《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 14: Jennifer's Identity
Advertisement
I woke up later than everyone, as I was the one who had most of the strain , keeping our cells same and all. When I woke up, Tou was in the kitchen eating cereal. I asked her what happened while I was asleep. "Hazen left to get some supplies, so I decided to stay here while I wait for you to wake up. He told me to take you to a certain place when you wake up, so are you ready to go?" and I answered, that I was. After that, I wore something rather than pajamas, and went with Tou. While we walked towards the destination. I saw a man, a woman, and a child, all walking together, talking about something I couldn't here in particular. When they walked past us, the man said to me, in a whisper, "Be ready, Johnny, we know your secret," He said, while walking, like those badass characters who walk past someone slow-mo. Anyways, we continued on to a warehouse, around a sea port. Hazen was looking at the water and said, "You're finally awake. I got some things to tell the both of you." yet all I was thinking about was that man.
Who was he , I thought, Why does he know me, and what connection do we have. "Hello? Helllo! Earth to Johnny!" Hazen kept on shouting. I snapped back to reality and said, "Yes, what?" and he sighed. "Okay, listen to me Johnny" and I nodded. "Jennifer, isn't a human. I know you may have found out about that by now, but she isn't what you think she is. When we attacked her , because I knew you were awake, You saw me use 4 different attacks, one for pure humans, another for angels,demons, and dragons alike. Yet she reacted the most with demon, she also reacted with the other two attacks but was very small, almost impossible to be felt from anyone, not even she knew. She is actually a hybrid of all four beings, a first. She has the capability of possible being the strongest hybrid alive, and with enough training, has the power to defeat the devil king, angel general and god himself, if she was trained properly. As so, she is a great threat to your wish, Johnny, as a result we need to kill her before she gains knowledge of this power. Dragons give her great strength, angel abilities give her crazy regeneration and her demonic powers make her fast and giving her great tenacity. As so what are your guys idea?"

I understood everything, but what wish was he talking about. MY wish of finding about my past, or my wish in the past. "Well, Hazen, I understood everything you told me, and , although I don't know how, i also felt some of her abilities. According to what i gathered, she is 20% Human, 55% Demon, 10% Angel, 10% Dragon, and the other 5% is of another being that has not been found to us now. As so, from what you have told us, I have made a plan that seems good enough. Now I need the both of you to listen very carefully."
"From what I gathered, she lives around where we are, at about the market block. From there, we will wait till she is alone at her home. After that, we will conduct our plan." and with that I told them every detail, and they listened very well and they understood the plan, and with that we conducted it.
Around 2 hours after making the plan, we saw that she was alone at her home. We then went, and started our plan. THe first thing that happened was that I summoned Yagrik and started the intiation of the plan by setting up traps and everything. We knew that it was a very dangerous plan and one slip up could be the death of us. And since I just healed, I don't think I am able to do that again. Anyways the traps were all set up and with that we were ready to go on phase two. I sent the signal to Tou and she intiatied our second phase. She sneaked into her house with her SE on, and we started our attack. Jennifer was infront of her, and being inconspicuous, Tou sneaked into her home and attacked her. She was able to cut a deep wound on her arm, but then Jennifer was on full alert, which went according to the plan. "What the hell are you doing here? I just recovered!" and she called out Yartsdra and attacked Tou, just according to plan. She then activated the first trap, which was a simple arrow shooter, she dodged them all, and went to the exact position, the second trap was where a boulder fell on her. Tou was able to hit her with another cut on the arm and she was getting cornered, just as we wanted. I then summoned two more Tou clones and mixed the 3 Tou's and with that all of them attacked her, throwing her in the required postion.

Tou charged at her once more and because so, she had to dodge and because of the position of our traps, she was in the corner right in front of hazen. When she dodged, Tou instantly ran back at it was Hazens turn. He said a chant and because of that his sword went into flames. He then thrusted his flaming sword at Jennifer. "God Damnit! Why!!" She said , as she got stabbed in the heart.
"According to you, her percentage of angel is 10%, so it'll takea about 1 minute to heal one-tenth of the wound. So , if we simply continue shooting her, she would die , as she would die before her body can get enough oxygen. Its over, Jennifer, you will no longer be a problem to us." Hazen said, as he continued to shoot her with a gun I made. The plan was to simply place her in a certain spot where we could attack her without her getting a chance to dodge. The sword was flaming because it takes longer for her to heal ashes. It was a plan that could have failed if she saw it coming, or had a different way of healing. the knowedge of an angels healing was given by Hazen. "God.. Dam...nit." she said, and then she asked me to come closer (used her head) . "Li....st.....en ..... To ..... me. So....me....on....e ..is ...try......ing.....to.. ge .............t .... you.....r .... h.....e.....a....d... Hi.... s.... na.... m....e ..... is.... Di-" and she died. Every pause was for her to cough, or spit blood. Again, I couldn't stop myself from crying, which angered me as usual.
Still, I tryed my best to not try and heal her, which was hard for me. Who is this Di- guy and why does he want me dead? I continued thinking, as I was worried for what was to come. All I knew was that one of the obstacles were gone , but I still need to train myself into becoming the man strong enough to open up my way to the past. I continued on my path, which was only going to get harder, and sadder, was what I thought, and man, was I right, because I couldn't even begin to think about what woudl happen next.
I still worried about what could happen about this Di- guy and as a result , I was worried about me, and Tou, because I knew Hazen was thousands of time stronger than my current self. I still wondered where Sensei was and who could be the so called 'Reaper'. I continued thinking about what could happen but at this time, all I thought was about the path infront of us. I continued to walk forward, hopefully , to find out about my past.

Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Life is Wilde
There is a world where fiction meets reality. A world where human logic may prevail. Where human logic is the main thing that binds humanity. A world where Humanity is lesser to The World.Synopsis (For Chapters after Authors Note):Oscar is a child alike most others. He loves his mother, doesn't know his dad, and lives in a dome. Only, his greatest dream is to explore the vast wildes that plague the world. The problem is, the wildes house strange creatures mutated by radiation and a mysterious energy called "The Essence". How will Oscar ever survive in this chaotic world? Come, watch as our beloved character grows, makes friends, and paves a road into the firmaments as he establish his name in the new historical categories.Author's note*:This is an idea I'm roughing out. I'll be writing randomly, attenmpting to forge a storyline from my own sweat, determination, and creativity. It's loosely based on some Wuxia/Xuanhuan fictions I've read. It will have elements of human physiology, psychology, environmental science, nature vs man, man vs nature, human nature vs humanity, etc. This story is mean to be a work of fiction. It encompasses some of my views on morality. It will have corruption, foul-language, ignorance, racism. It will glean a bright world with imagination fused with the dark shadows for some to seek refuge. Though, in the world I will be creating... Refuge comes at a cost. A steep one.That is the Way of the World. The way of my world.Need cover art plz
