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. With Michael dead, Hyeong Shin is left to ponder his future—whether to continue as The Circle’s weapon or to forge his own path, free from the chains of his past. "The Return of the Greatest Assassin:Assassin's Chronicles" is a gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the blurred lines between good and evil.

My very own status window..?

Jack is Taurus and Timothy is a Scorpio, Maybe that is what they encountered." I asked myself.

"So, Do you want to proceed with the contract?" Asked the blue man with a golden bow and a quiver of arrows behind his back.

"What are the clauses on this?" I asked.

"You get,

A game like interface.

Special skills related to your jobs.

Enhanced vision.

I get,

A human Sagittarius trainee.

Your life after your death.

If you reject this offer, you're going to become old again."

"The hell, My soul after my death? Is this a movie right now?"

"I'm sure it's hard of you to trust me, But as the marksman of the WOTS (Warriors of the Zodiac) I have specifically asked for the SS ranks, exactly 12 in numbers, to be picked by the other Zodiacs the same way, It is because you mortals have the matching qualities and also possess each zodiac signs yourself."

"Wait wait, I can't believe it, Is this really a dream?"

"How can I prove it's not a dream?"

"Do something magical."

The blue creature lifts his hands up and structures it as if he was choking a neck.

And he was, I felt myself unable to breath, but there was no pain.

"Do you believe me now, Mr. John?"

"Yeah yeah, Whatever, How do I sign this contract? And another question, will you hang out with me everyday after this?"

"No, I'm unable to do so, as the warr-"

"Okay I get it, don't overcomplicate things, you just wanted my soul to replace you after I die, That is simple enough for a summary, let's do this."

"Please invite the other Zodiacs for the contract after the 3 of you are done.

And you can come here anytime if you do not understand something."

A blue barrier surrounded us in a bubble, and his soul started to merge with mine.

After a few minutes, I was done, I did get noticeably stronger, a stronger and more agile physique, but the weirdest of them all was "The Status Window."

It was a window that contained every information about me, even my manhood'ls size....

While the others can't really view other zodiac warrior's status windows, and it's only in the "Detailed Info" tab, it's still pretty weird.

But something even weird was this.

He was a marksman, But I'm not good at bows and arrows, so I gained a special class.

"The Gun and Blade of the Sagittarius."

Yeah, That was my class's name.

Special skills were also a thing according to him, and ranks started from F rank all the way up to the S or S+ rank.

"Now, Let's check the special skills."

It was a system that if I said "Status." The window would appear.

That was already in my mind after I merged with blue alien.

'Im not a blue alien...' thought the Sagittarius far away in a different universe.

"Skills (owned)

Marksmanship:Perfect gunshots every time you aim, will raise the aim more the more the proficiency grows.

Killer Aura: Your Aggro will increase, more enemies will Target your way.

Song of blades: You're a blade master, The more the proficiency in this skill, the more powerful you are.

Stealth:Able to go invisible for a quick minute before turning back to normal.

Air Bullet: (Cannot be copied in any way, special skill only for Sagittarius trainees.) Think of your hands as a gun and trigger, point it at the enemy and click the air trigger.

Can Buy New Skills And Slots For The Skills From The Item Shop In The Menu. (Coins owned:0)"

"How do I earn that currency?"

The system had a help function, it also had the rules and regulations and information on different tabs.

"Coins:Currency massively used in all galaxies by the WOTS to buy functions.

Can be earned through killing, the higher the rank of the killer, the more coins you get."

"Status."

"Name:Hyeong Shin

Origin:Korea

Age:22

Weight:65

Height:193cm

Rank:SS (25 coins each person killed by user)

Detailed information..."

"This is going to be easy, Isn't it." I felt 2 auras approaching mine, It was the 2 stupid men I brought along.

"Did you meet that orange fellow too?"; "Did you meet that yellow fellow too?" Said both of them repeatedly.

"Yeah, Mine was blue though, now that we have become WOTS trainee, Let's go inform the others as soon as possible for their contracts to take place." I replied.

We walked back through the road we originally took to reach the split up caves.

"We are back at camp now, Let us rest and leave the camp here for future base needs if possible."

"Mr. John, what abilities did you get?"

"A killer must keep their information private, no matter how bland or useless it is."

"But we're friends aren't we..?"

"Agh, Fine here's a skill I got."

I just had to think of activating 'Stealth' in my head, and it has activated in real time.

"Woah, Where did he go?"

"I'm right here fools." I deactivated stealth.

"Damn, All we got were useless skills, I don't think that would work on anyone."

"What do you mean?"

"I got an Active Skill:Berserker." Said Jack.

You're literally 195 cm, and built like a damn tank, I guess that was expected."

"I got a different one than that, Active Skill:Blink." Replied Timothy.

It was a skill that can teleport the user a certain distance after using it, 3 uses a day, Timothy was built like an Athlete, and he is really fast and agile, So the ability suited him pretty well."

"Let us not disclose any information any further, No one will ever know who is the traitor among us, it could be YOU, it could be ME, or the Mistress."

"Yeah, I thought so too, I'm really tired and sleepy after the contract so I'm gonna rest here for a while before going back up." Said Jack.

Both of us nodded in agreement.

After a few hours of peaceful sleep, rather than sleeping while being watched by the Underworld, this was heaven itself.

"Let's go."

TO BE CONTINUED

I will try to reduce the "System" thing as much as needed, but some basic abilities are necessary, Sorry.
