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.

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.

Leviathan Scales.

I turn on stealth, close our distance and now it was time to turn off stealth and one shot him.

"I only have one try in this, I must not fail, no matter what."

"Here goes nothing!" I deactivate stealth and rush at him.

Red aura from the berserker skill surrounds my nearby area.

My red aura was intimidating enogj to confuse the tiger, and with attacks of long ranged fire, I made it damaged and weak, and with my last attack, I defeated it.

"Now for the treasure box!"

I open the treasure box only to find this inside a rusty who know whose dagger inside there.

"The fuck am I supposed to do it?" I swing it a few times as practice swings, Light starts shining from the handle.

"You have been recognised as the master of this 'Leviathan Scaled Daggar.'

Rank:S"

"Why the hell am I so unlucky and lucky at the same time?" The knife changes it appearance, Changing the old handle to the new polished leather finish handle and a azure blade.

"So, It's an artifact that started appearing around the world after we returned."

It wasn't normal for artifacts such as this to be laying around in a random forest, It must be som-" as I was about to finish what I was saying, blood coloured energy burst inside from the blade.

"Are you the one who wishes to conquer me? You're weak but you have an unusual compatibility with me. Fine I will let you use my daggar since I don't need it anyways."

It seemed like the daggar's previous owner, "He looked American, blonde hair and blue eyes, such a waste."

The system notification popped up infront of me right away, and what was written on it was, "It is not from this world, rather a parallel universe, his origin is not an American but a Chinese there."

"The what?"

"This is worthless information for you since we won't be able to meet up with the other universes for now."

"For now...?"

"The magic quantity is too low here to activate the portals, The absence of the Owner has reduced the magic power quality here."

"I see, what happened to the Owner?"

"It doesn't exist, Though in the other universes it's a different thing since they are stronger and better."

"Better than me?"

"Yes." And that was how the message notification disappeared soon after.

"Now, Should I try to become the so called Owner?"

"You can't, High Requirements, Requirements not met. ;)"

"This system window pisses me off so much I swear to god. And where did he even learn to use the faces we use in texts!?"

The plane was still frozen in place, just like I expected.

"Now, Shall I test the daggar out?"

The daggar gave me new abilities such as, 'Dimensional Rift, Air Slashes, Magic Imbued Air Slashes.' Well, maybe I should test out the first ability since it seems interesting.

"The proficiency is low so I only get these 3 skills for now, I will try and raise it to the maximum!"

I use Dimensional Rift, Slashing the daggar in a Cross position, opening a portal of purple matter, supposedly star dust infront of me.

"Is it safe to go in there?" I knew the system would reply to my doubts.

"Man up, try going in there yourself, loser."

I swore to my life that I will never ask System anything unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.

And so, I closed the Dimensional Rift by swinging the blade in reverse to the same slashes as before.

"This looks cooler, but flicking my fingers to close the gap isn't so bad of an Idea either."

"Air slashes!" Looking at the blue sky, I aim towards the Air Plane.

"There aren't any normal civilians there anyways, Since they were all members of the Yakuza. It won't hurt to kill them."

White, Or transparent slashes aimed right at the tail of the airplane, Were too fast for the human eye to see.

"Wow, Destroyed in one shot."

The tail was destroyed and the plane started flying back to normal now.

"The tail is destroyed, They won't be able to fly anyways, let me end their suffering, still better than dying in a plane crash!"

With an evil grin on my face, I use the fire magic I stole from the vice Yakuza captain and place my fire hand on the daggar.

"Woah, The blade is on fire!"

"Leviathan's Scales has been imbued with magic Fire, Raising skill proficiency to E rank, Red Fire unlocked."

The previously orange fire, in both my hands and the blade, turned red.

"Orange fire has been changed to Healing Fire."

"Say what now? I had some scratches from before, Let's try the healing fire now!"

I took a piece of wood from the wooden forest and lit it on fire by changing the red fire to orange fire in my hands.

"Woah it works!" The scratches I suffered from jumping down the plane were healed after a while.

It is pretty slow, but not like it's useless.

"Awesome!"

Using the red fire air slash, the seperate the cockpit with the passanger body.

The cockpits have their own parachutes so they could jump right out and save themselves.

"Intelligent thinking, isn't it?"

Now it was the body's turn, it was falling right into the ground.

Right before it crashed, Some blue energy formation shaped in a sphere messed with the plane and protected it.

"What's that? A defensive artifact? Haha that won't work on me and my S ranked weapon!"

I swing around plenty of times aiming directly towards the body, All of them weaken the shield, allowing my final and the strongest hit to pierce through it and explode the entire body.

"That was my last hit and last but of power, I don't even know what I would do if that didn't work and they just followed after me."
