《The Blue Assassins》VI
Advertisement
"The Blue Assassins?" I echoed and they nodded. The name sounded awfully familiar, literally.
"Not a lot of people know about it. Only the members and a few allies, " Alexander told me. "The police don't even know we exist. The majority of people never heard about us or think we're just a—"
"Legend, " I finished his sentence and they furrowed their eyebrows.
"How do you know about us?" River questioned.
I shrugged nonchalantly. "I read a lot. Especially in genres of fantasy and folklore."
"Oh, " he murmured while I tried to remember everything from the book. All I knew was that it was a very old book with a black cover with a blue rose that had blood dripping from it. It was called: The Legend of the Blue Assassins. One by one, the stories began coming back to me.
"You're the Blue Assassins?"
"No, we're the Pink Assassins, " River mumbled sarcastically, which caused his father to send him a stern look. He simply grinned.
"Yes, we are the Blue Assassins, " Alexander answered me.
My eyes widened when I remembered a specific part of the book.
"Oh, no, no, no!" I yelled, backing away from them. I freed myself from the handcuffs and held the chair as a shield.
"What—"
"Look, I'll do anything. Just please, please don't kill me!" I pleaded.
Suddenly, completely surprising me, River bursted out laughing and I gaped at him. Alexander rolled his eyes, impatiently waiting for his son to control himself.
"Okay. That was the funniest thing I've heard all day, " he chuckled before clearing his throat. "But, why would we kill you?"
"Because it's part of the legend! If someone were to discover the Blue Assassins or a member of them, they'd have to be killed."

"You are right, but there is another piece of the legend you have forgotten, " Alexander intervened. "If they were of use, they'd be excused."
I frowned. "Of use? Um, sure. I'm pretty poor, but I could give you my phone or something."
"What kind of phone—"
"No, " Alexander cut off his son.
"So, you are going to kill me?"
"Assassinate, " River coughed.
Alexander shook his head at me, ignoring River. "No, we don't want your phone or your money. What we want...is for you to join us."
"Oh, good! I really did not want to give you my—wait, what?" I dropped the chair that was in my hands while River gawked at his father, equally as baffled.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" River asked him and he sighed.
"You see, those two men you knocked out were our best assassins here. They've been trained by myself and are incredibly experienced in our organization. No one can defeat them except my son and myself. Yet, you managed to make them both unconscious at the same time, " Alexander explained.
"To be honest, it wasn't really that hard. I've dealt with burglars that fight harder than them, " I paused. "No offense."
"None taken. It's not as if you can defeat me, " River shrugged, cracking his knuckles.
I snickered, which made him give me a challenging look.
"Now, now, " his father scolded him before returning his gaze to me. "You have proven yourself to be tactical, strong, intelligent, perceptive, and overall powerful. Which is exactly what we're missing in the Blue Assassins."
"Dad, you can't be serious. She's childish and too...nice, " River hissed and I frowned.
Alexander nodded. "We need kindness here, River." He glanced at me and whispered: "We need her purity."
"You...you think she's the missing piece of the prophecy?" River's eyes widened.
"I don't think, son. I know, " he claimed and I gulped. Prophecy? What did I have to do with a prophecy? And if I was a part of it, why were they hiding it from me?
I shook away my thoughts. Right now, I had to focus on the situation at hand.
Should I join the Blue Assassins?

Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

The World Below
A place of myth and mystery, the Below is spoken of by few with any real consideration, and fewer with any true belief. After all, a realm filled with magic and monstrosities beyond imagining would be ridiculous, especially existing beneath one's very feet. Someone would have found it by now, through science, even if rumor dictated that it was able to "choose" who entered it. More wishful magic nonsense. ...Right? Note: This is a story on dungeon exploration, not a dungeon core/sentient dungeon!

Toric the Soulless
Hello everybody, my name is Spotacus. English is my first language, but that does not mean I do not make mistakes. Please let me know if you see any. I am going to post the first few chapters of a story I have been fooling around with. The main character is a bit OP, but completely clueless about his power. This is a fantasy type story, and I may have missed some of the tags. Description Toric thought he was a pretty normal kid, with a normal and boring backstory, but he was wrong. Follow his adventures as he learns the truth about his history, and discovers exactly how very far he has to go in order to embrace his destiny. Life will never be the same after the arrogance of a mage gives Toric an ability that was lost in distant history. Lost for a reason.

How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
