The Act
It took me a second, but I found I was in a dungeon. Not a hidden dungeon inside one of the tower floors, but the normal dungeons that let monsters onto the Earth.
Well, actually I guess I can't call this Earth. I caught onto enough the my bodies Memories to get a good grasp of her world. It was very similar to Earth. However it was a different planet one only connected to Earth through the Tower. I heard of worlds like this before, but Terra. The planet I was currently on was in fact a lesser world with a shorter history with the tower than the earth.
Had to admit though this world really handled the towers, dungeons and monsters better than earth though. If I lived here instead of earth as Alistar, I doubt I would've ever died. Terra had standard regulations on elixirs and so on. So I never would've been back-stabbed and lost my way.
Though not like I could say I didn't enjoy losing my way. Walking through the empty dungeon I shook my head. The killers of Dionysus and her niece were pros. Almost as good as me, but they were hired killers unlike myself. So Sadly, they left clues for 'Argument'.
I cleaned up the clues like the left over monsters and weapons. The monsters that were left were decently strong level 35-38 respectively. They could easily overwhelm a party of level 40s on their way out of a level 50 boss monster. This could 'Explain' the deaths. Except I was level 98 and talented in killing with the bare minimum. Combine my past with my time stuck in my own slipspace. I could easily fight Providence at his best.
I sighed flicking another rusted knife into the core of a stone scorpion. Sure I could use the stuff, but with the stuff left behind by the assassins. Well I was rich and I had no doubt I could weasel more cash out of the family guild.
I fixed my hair to sit behind my ears and nodded. Dionysus was a half elf, from the second wife of her father. Which blacklisted her from most family gatherings and made her the black sheep. Much like her niece...
I huffed, I needed to get into character. I spoke aloud, "I am Dionysus, Artem is my Niece. We are Atheas." I nodded getting into focus. Dionysus is me and I am Dionysus.
Once I got into the role I was ready. I never had the skill actor or roleplay. However I had used two different cover identities in the past. Both of which I used to walk away from crime scenes in broad daylight. I could play the humble idiot as well as the curios fanboy. How hard would it be for me to play the concerned paranoid Aunt.
I had to thank the 9 divides for that one. If I wasn't so paranoid in the past as Dionysus this might not have been very smooth. I cracked my neck and smiled and stabbed myself in the stomach. I winced at the pain, I had no pain suppression skill and the pain of my past life was managed by pain killers and greater pain caused by illness.
Shrugging it off I put away the dagger and held onto my stomach. I need one last thing to prepare. I looked at my status and used the skill formless self. I knew if I ever came back to the land of the living I'd need a skill to cover my status.
My status warped and changed. It matched my new identity perfectly.

It looked like my best guess of a rich girl status. I actually didn't know what a normal status screen looked like. I hope the fake one I just made works. I had to keep certain things and I can't hide or fake others so. The Blessings were gonna stay, thankfully from my memories in the past the blessings were never shown to anyone.
I'd have to never actually use the two spells since they were really just fakes I made to use my real skills. I also couldn't fake classes so that would remain as none. I know of a few methods to remove a class so I'll just say it was from one of those.
Over al this should work. Giving one last breath I stumbled into the portal to the outside. I saw black suits and reporters, it seemed this incident was bigger than imagined. I saw the Assassins talking to a man in a grey suit. Clearly the boss of the others.
Looking them over as the reporters pointed me out I mumbled. "A-Are you the association! Please, Pl-Please ARREST THOSE BASTARDS! They tried to kill me!"
A young woman ran over and grabbed me. "My lady? Are you okay? I was so worried."
I scanned my mind and found who this woman was. "I am fine Enna, I had to use a antidote I was saving, but I am fine."
She breathed out absolute relief. This girl would be useful. As for the Assassin and this Association. They gathered around the three bastards and prevented them from leaving. All the while the grey suited man walked over to me. "Lady Athea, Glad to see you alive. Those gentlemen have a different story than yours do you mind explaining?"
I went with my plan. How they poisoned me and my hired guards. How I tried to save my niece, but they used some kind of artifact to kill her and steal her unique skill. I even mimicked Anger and revealed the damaged corpse of my niece. The sight of her made a few people gag.
The Assassin had a look of horror and confusion while the grey suited man nodded. "Arrest them, we will interrogate them and get a confession at the Office."
I nodded, "Thank you for everything, I don't suppose you have a healing potion or something?"
Enna came to my rescue and passed me a pink potion. A deluded healing potion. It seemed they had a lower than average alchemy if Enna could only give me one of these. I drank it and the stab wound that didn't even cause my Hp to fall healed.
I gave a sigh of relief and the grey suit nodded, "My card, I will call you back later Lady Athea to get a proper statement."
It seemed my named had some weight where the guy wasn't willing to piss me off by forcing me to repeat my story. Either that or he caught something and wants to sleep on it to see if I fuck the story up later.
I read his name as Ethan Hobbs, he was an administrator at the Awakened Divisional Support. Aka the Awakened Association. A special police for the awakened. This gave me some info I needed and nodded.
"I'll wait for it. For now I'd like to be alone with my secretary. We have to discuss the burial of my niece. I doubt my family will... You get the idea."
He nodded giving me a sorrowful look. Enna rubbed my back and looked at me with puppy eyes. I however didn't need her pity, "Enna get the car. I need to rest."
She nodded, "I'll take you home my lady."
"Enna, Thank you."
Before she ran to the car and brought it over. She comforted me, "It is no problem my lady."
As she ran to the car the reporters tried to harass her, but they didn't dare to come to me. It seemed they had some morals. Better than the vultures back on Earth. Some even had looks of pity towards me.
