Chapter 1The legendary assassin

In a world were people could destroy gigantic boulders with a single punch, unleash balls of flames to burn an opponent, and slice hills with a single sword slash, there was a legendary figure that made all shiver upon hearing his name.

Fade, a name laced with fear. A legendary assassin that could kill anyone as long as the price is right and the reason is just. Even if you're the king of a country, a powerful warrior, a knowledgable mage, or a sneaky thief. None could escape his grasp, the moment you were targeted you were already dead.

If one wanted this legendary assassin to kill someone, one needed to do a lot of things. You need to write a detailed letter of who you are and why you would want that person to die. After this, you needed to head to the foot of Mount Katar and place the letter in a specific tree with the carving of a panther. If the contents of the letter seem to be agreeable, Fade will meet with you in your own bedroom to talk about the kill. Once you two come to an agreement the person you want dead would be a corpse in just a few days.

Many have used this method of contact to lure Fade into a trap. In doing so they met their ends in a very gruesome manner, to serve a warning for others to not be so foolish as to trick him.

...

Inside a hidden cave on top of a mountain, a young man about twenty-five years old was cursing out loud as he was stitching the open wound he had.

"That f*cking tyrant! Who knew he had a hidden blade there?! Sh*t I let my guard down." This young man was the legendary assassin Fade. Even though he was treated as a legend outside and was rumored to be some old monster, the truth was he was just a young man who just started his assassin jobs a decade ago.

Once he was done stitching up his wound, Fade laid on the floor and sighed as he looked at the empty cave he calls his home.

'How long should I continue being an assassin?... Haven't I already fulfilled my promise to you, little sis?'

...

Fade started to reminisce about the past. He was once part of a famous clan of assassins, which trained their children at a very young age. He and his little sister were no different as they started their training at the age of four.

His little sister was a kind soul and didn't like killing, but since she was born in a clan of assassins she had no choice in the matter. So she decided that if she was going to kill she wanted to kill only the ones who were bad. She wanted to be a good assassin, well as good as one can be as an assassin.

Due to her being like that and not accepting the jobs that the clan wanted her to take, she was given the ultimate punishment. Fade who was out on a mission at that time came back home too late, as he saw his little sister being killed.

In a rage, Fade killed his little sister's attackers and held onto her dying body. Fade's kind little sister looked at him with a gentle smile on her face as she spoke.

"Big Bro is that you?... Heh, I'm sorry that I was a failure of an assassin, and more than that I'm sorry that I was a failure of a sister."

"What are you saying, when were you ever a failure? You were and always will be the best little sister."

"Hehe, big bro praised me... Today might've been a good day after all..." The little sister's weak gentle smile was heartbreaking to look at. It was obvious that she was having trouble talking, but still, she continued on.

"Hey... Big bro, can you promise me something."

"Anything."

"Big bro, unlike me you have the talent to become the best... So please... become, my very own... Ideal assassin..."

"... I promise."

"Thanks... Big bro, thanks for everything..."

Those were the last words his little sister said to him, and on that same day, the clan Fade belonged to ceased to exist.

...

'It's been a decade now. Did I somehow become the ideal assassin you wished for?' Those thoughts filled Fade's mind as he fell asleep.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds.

Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.
