Few words about myself

Hello everyone. My name is Nick, and I live my worthless miserable life. This year I barely passed the exams, entered the paid education at the university, where I probably did not want to study. Higher education is needed, so I went to study. I am an orphan and I can not boast of anything, I work almost every day, and after work I cook dinner for myself.

I wanted to end this vicious circle of hell. I no longer feel emotion at the sight of my friend, my face turned stone, I don't know if anyone can be called my friend at all. I don't like socializing, I just like to spend my free time alone.

What am I doing wrong? What is the use of this life? I hope I have a chance to be reborn.

I decided to end this.

--------------------------------------

After I did this, what I saw was only darkness, in which it was so pleasant for me to be. I finally felt somehow alive.

--------------------------------------------------

Somewhere in another world

After opening my eyes, I felt completely different. The first thing I saw was my mother's eyes, in which I saw a ray of light as in the night sky. I could feel her thoughts, and I learned something. The first word that I heard from her was "Nick"

She sacrificed her life for mine. I knew that she was dying, but my face remained as calm as in my previous life, it was stone. I was hurt so much, both mental and physical. I just did not feel anything.And after that, I saw only the father leaving, the last thing I saw was the closing door with a muffled sound.

-------------------------------------

Years passed. I was 3 years old. During this time I learned a lot. This world was not like my past. Martial arts were highly valued here. From an early age, future warriors, assassins, defenders, healers, magicians are trained here. different talents. Someone was from birth larger, flexible or had a sense of mana.

I was born in some small village called Finris. I was raised by my grandfather Richard. Sometimes he asked me to do strange tasks, like fetch water from a well, or do some acrobatic exercises from my past life. At night, my grandfather hid in the shade, I He didn't even see him, he always came up to me from behind and put the blade to my neck. It even happened that my grandfather would wake me up in the middle of the night, as if he was trying to scare me or something like that. After some time, I got used to it and calmly noticed my grandfather, and he nodded back to me. To be honest, he spoke very little. I did not ask questions, because I knew that this might help me in the future. my days have not yet passed a year.

One day my grandfather said

-Baby Nick, you are already quite an adult. I want to teach you martial arts. My martial arts are for assassins, and you have good abilities. Once you agree, you cannot change your mind.

-I just nodded silently

Much has changed since that day.

My grandfather put weights on each limb, 5 kilograms, that is, 20 in total.I began to run a lot in the morning, sweat dripped down on me. After that I studied the human body, limbs, tendons, weak points. I learned all this very quickly, even my grandfather was surprised, but he did not show it, but I still noticed changes in his facial expressions.

He also taught me the theory of combat, foresight of the opponent's moves, the use of terrain, all this was the basic theory of those who followed the path of martial arts. All this I learned in a little over a year.

After my grandfather started teaching me how to be an assassin, I learned the basics of assassins, that is, the method of introducing combat like an assassin, throwing daggers with weights was difficult for me, because every time we increased the distance, and then I started hitting moving targets. Once, when I stopped feeling the weights, my grandfather made new weights for me 2 times heavier. I also learned to hide in the shade, blend in with the terrain and move silently.

This was all basic theory for the assassins.

Following this, my grandfather Richard taught me various secret techniques, for example, how to disappear from the enemy's field of vision, how to kill silently, how to walk on walls to a certain extent, etc. made me cool and calmed my mind.

My grandfather told me to practice this technique every day until I can use it continuously, only then can I laugh at it.I studied in more detail all the deadly poisons, and also took a little of them, so my body has already become immune to most poisons.

This is how my training comes to an end, but I continue to train and increase my skill in every aspect.

So came my 6th birthday. On this day, young warriors go to academies for their further development in martial arts. Grandfather has already begun to say goodbye to me. As a keepsake, he gave me 2 blades made of strong and light metal. The balance of the blades was perfect. With these blades my kills would be perfect.

It's time to hit the road.
