Life As A Low Ranker Was a Bluff?

Damian Heilheim, once the prodigious heir to a clandestine assassin's guild, was raised in a world where shadows and blades ruled. As one of the elite "golden children" of the notorious association, his prowess in assassination was unparalleled. However, disillusioned by the brutal life of an assassin and yearning for a quieter existence, Damian makes a daring decision: he abandons his deadly legacy and joins the Military Knights under a false identity as a low-ranked magic officer. In a realm where magic intertwines with danger and intrigue, Damian's new life is a far cry from the shadowy world he left behind. By day, he endures the mundane tasks and condescension of his peers, while by night, he secretly utilizes his formidable skills to navigate a web of deceit and peril. His double life is a delicate dance between keeping his past hidden and fulfilling his role as a guardian of the realm. But peace is elusive. When a series of dark events begin to unravel—a mysterious artifact resurfaces, and whispers of an insidious plot grow louder—Damian finds himself at the heart of a brewing storm. His former allies and enemies alike are closing in, threatening to expose his true identity and unravel the fragile new life he’s built.
