Return Of The Strongest Assassin: Assassin's Chronicles

In the heart of Seoul, where the city's vibrant lights cast shadows deep enough to conceal even the darkest secrets, Hyeong Shin emerges from retirement with a single, unyielding purpose: to eliminate Michael, the most dangerous adversary he has ever faced. At 70 years old, Hyeong Shin is no ordinary assassin; he is a legend with 63 years of experience, honed by countless missions carried out with cold precision under the command of a shadowy organization known as "The SSS ranks."Michael was once the leader of The Circle, a brother-in-arms to Hyeong Shin. But the bond of brotherhood shattered when Michael betrayed the organization, seeking to seize power for himself. His betrayal left The Circle fractured, vulnerable, and desperate to reclaim control. Knowing that only one man could succeed in eliminating Michael, The Circle turns to Hyeong Shin, their greatest asset.However, age has taken its toll on Hyeong Shin. Though his skills are unmatched, his body no longer possesses the agility and strength it once did. Desperate to complete the mission and settle the score with the man who had betrayed everything they once stood for, Hyeong Shin undergoes a perilous ritual that restores his youth and vitality. The procedure is as ancient as it is dangerous, but the transformation is successful. Rejuvenated, Hyeong Shin is ready to take on the challenge that lies ahead.The mission is clear: track down Michael, who has established himself as an untouchable power in the underworld, and eliminate him. But this task is far from straightforward. Michael is no ordinary target; he is a mastermind with resources and connections that run deep. Every step Hyeong Shin takes is met with resistance, from assassins loyal to Michael to traps set to lure him into a deadly game of cat and mouse. As Hyeong Shin moves through the city’s dark alleys and towering skyscrapers, the narrative delves into the history between him and Michael. Flashbacks reveal a time when they fought side by side, bound by a shared loyalty to The Circle. Michael’s betrayal is a wound that cuts deep, driving Hyeong Shin not just to complete the mission, but to confront the personal betrayal that has haunted him for years.With The Circle backing him, Hyeong Shin is armed with the best intelligence and resources available. But the deeper he dives into the mission, the more he realizes that The Circle’s motives are not as straightforward as they seem. As he inches closer to Michael, he uncovers secrets that shake his faith in the organization he has served for so long. Loyalties are tested, and the line between friend and foe blurs as Hyeong Shin navigates a web of deception, all while keeping his eyes on the ultimate prize—Michael’s head. The climax of the story is a breathtaking showdown between Hyeong Shin and Michael, set in a labyrinthine fortress that Michael has turned into his stronghold. The battle is as much psychological as it is physical, with both men using every ounce of their training and experience to outmaneuver the other. The Circle watches from the shadows, their true intentions only becoming clear as the final confrontation unfolds.In the end, Hyeong Shin emerges victorious, but the victory is bittersweet. The revelations uncovered during the mission force him to question everything he has ever believed in. The Circle, once a beacon of loyalty and order in his life, is revealed to be as corrupt and power-hungry as the enemies they sought to eliminate.

Defeating The Lich.

He pushes me off the ground, as I see a light infront of me, Running towards it, I finally catch up with it, and regain consciousness in my real body.

"Im still so confused, he granted us the functional body of our past, IN THE PRESENT, and now he wants us to beat a god knows who monster and HE WANTS TO SEND US BACK TO THE PAST WITH OUR MEMORIES INTACT!?"

One thing was clear, We had to beat the Lich to proceed with the operation, no matter how strong.

"Everyone, Keep him at standby, I will be back soon." I said, as I jumped off the 5th floor to the ground.

"Shit, I thought this was the 1st floor." As I was about to make contact with the ground, an invisible power lifted me softly off the ground and I had landed safely.

"Sagittarius, Just kill me already, I can not handle sudden information, yesterday it was just nothing but an old assassin wanting revenge, NOW ITS SYSTEM, WARRIORS OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS, LICH, HIS HEART, REGRESSING, TRIAL VERSION, JUST KILL ME!"

"SYSTEM:

I apologise for such sudden news, but there is one more thing you have forgotten to add in your list, magic power and it's abilities." It replied; "That makes it two things." It added.

"Well, now that the 11 are taking care of the lich, I should wrap things up myself now."

I fixed up a dynamite, no, not one, a lot of them, enough to blow up the whole area.

"They won't die by such trivial matters, right? Everything under 100 meters will be exploded, I already asked the soldiers to evacuate the civilians before I left." I wondered, but now it was not the time to ask myself questions, whatever choice I make, it will represent my entire life, like this one choice depends on me, Either I wait till the subscription trial wears out, or I do it now and destroy it's heart in the explosion.

I took out my smart phone and dial the number to the stand by officers and ask them to tell the others to protect themselves first or tell Jack to absorb all the damage himself since he is the tank.

"He fought with the lich all by himself to almost a day now, what is a small explosion for him?" I said, as I turned on my phone's camera and started video recording.

"So what's up guys, this is the last proof that we will remain on this planet, If you find this phone, and this phone specifically, I just want to say, We have gone back to the past, Goodbye." I said, waving to the camera as my last goodbye and ending the recording.

I threw it far across the apartment, almost crossing 3 regions at once.

"Super human strength from Jack is kind of weird, I don't feel anything but my strength had increased by a lot."

I pressed the red button on the remote and everything blasted near me.

"Am I gonna die in the explosion or what..?" I suffered continuous damage, leading to a lot of blood loss, "g-gurgh, now what the heck is wrong with me." With me trying to resist, I found out that this was the "result of me trying to copy skills greater than one's limit."

"No worries, I'm going to be taking all of the useful abilities when I go back to the past." Is what I initially thought, But why hasn't the "Lich has been defeated." Message popped up yet! Is it still alive!?

"Lich has been finally defeated, Biggest contributors:

Shin Hyeong

Sung Woo

Han Nari."

"Han Nari.. Han Nari... Who was it? Who was it?"

Suddenly a hand creeped up my shoulder, "Do you not remember 'Miss Anastasia' Mr John.." said Han Nari, her voice as cold as ice, messing with my ears, while this felt pretty good, it was ticklish.

"Do you think this is a joke..?" She added, As she menacingly grabs both of my shoulders, She uses her knee to kick my head.

"Ouch! That hurt!"

"Serves you right."

"How could I forget her name, I'm good with forgetting other names, but how her!?" I asked myself, Along with how she was the 3rd greatest contributor and not Timothy.

"How did you get the 3rd highest points in just half an hour of arriving..?" I asked her, She replied "It's because I'm strong."

"What do you mean!? I'm strong as well!" I thought to myself, "What do you mean? I'm strong as well? Is what you're thinking right?"

"How would you know!?"

"I just know, your emotions give it away."

I have been trained since the age of 7, on how to maintain a poker face, no way she might have just looked at my face and said it, there must be some secret to it.

"SYSTEM:

Her primary ability is to control all elements, even merging them to form powerful combinations.

Her secondary ability is to read even an ounce of emotion on someone's face."

"That is such a broken ability!!" I shouted, The others looked shocked as they had just barely escaped from the explosion and were trapped inside the rubble.

"What is?" They asked, I can't let them know about my cheat ability to copy other people's primary or secondary or even store bought abilities.

"No, I just found out that my phone got destroyed under all this."

"Oh is that so? Let me remove all this for you so you can find it." Said another teammate, her name was Ha Neul.

"Crazy how I remember someone else's name rather than my own information broker."

"Surprising, isn't it?" Said Anastasia, The moment I looked back, She delivered a blow to my nose.

After being sent flying away, I opened my eyes after quite a bit of time, It was Jack's second ability, "Healing."

He could heal minor injuries all by himself, If upgraded to S tier...

"Now.."
