The 30th Life

In a huge forest, a man stabbed the back of another man with a shiny black dagger.

The stabbed man turned to the stabber with an unbelievable expression while asking, "Why?".

The stabber quietly murmured, "Sorry, a blunt knife can only be thrown out", After saying that, the stabber pulled out the dagger and blood spurted from the wound of the other man.

The wounded man looked at the guy who stabs him in disbelief, "We are brothers, right? I even help you when you almost died, I saved you countless times and this is how you pay me?".

The man looked guilty but he didn't regret it, "Nero, your crime was too heavy, even the high priest Saria was deployed to kill you since you're going to die anyway, as a brother, you should help me this last time, right?".

Nero looked at the man, every second his expression becomes colder and colder, then he yelled, "When the hell did you become a knight? So this is why you want to follow me to be an assassin but you don't want to kill? You planned this didn't you!".

The man didn't say anything and Nero laughed coldly, "Haha, so that's why you were very obedient in the past even when I tell you to do an odd job?".

"Ck Ck, I should say, you're really dedicated", Nero coughed up a lot of blood and lay on the ground.

At this time of death, he can see a white silhouette falling from the sky. He cannot see clearly because of so much blood lost and his consciousness was wavering, but from the shadow of the incomers, he could see that it's a woman, he could also faintly see the silver color on her head, which mean she has a silver hair.

"An angel...?", Finally, Nero breathed his last breath and died.

...

The man also noticed the silver-haired woman, recognized her, and quickly bowed.

"Your majesty Saria, I have captured the criminal".

The woman landed in front of Nero's dead body and looked at the body without expression, she then turned toward The man, "You are?".

The man bowed and hurriedly said, "My name is Charles, I always dreamt of being a knight and I want to help you catch the criminal, I hope that you can help me join the Knight of the Pope".

The woman didn't answer and turned to look at Nero's corpse, she then walked toward Nero's corpse to see closer. When walking closer, she notices something shiny on the neck of Nero's corpse and couldn't help but examine it.

It turned to look at the necklace, the necklace has silver-colored chains, and on the middle quietly lay a White gem. Looking at the Necklace, she was stunned for a second. She then looked at the corpse once again, this time she looked at it at a very close range.

Nero can be said to be handsome, but his stature was somewhat weak, if you lift his hand, you can see his bones like he was malnourished.

The woman pulled the necklace and asked Charles, "Where did he find this necklace?".

Charles never sees that necklace before and said honestly, "I didn't know either, your majesty".

The woman was quiet for a second and tightened her grip on the necklace. Finally, the necklace broke and something unexpected happen.

After a while, the woman immediately became deadly silent. She slowly looked at Charles with bloodshot eyes and said slowly, but each sentence made the temperature dropped by several degrees,

"Tell me, the full story of when and where did you meet and I can probably let you keep a full corpse"

----------------End of Prolog----------------

...

A boy around 15 years old, who was sleeping in some kind of prison-like place slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and then sighed, "Back to this place again".

He stood up and patted his clothes, Then walked toward the door and leaned on the side, waiting.

"He will come... now".

Just as his voice fell, the door opened, and a burly man entered the room while yelled, "Boy, it's your turn!".

He then noticed that the room was empty, or so he thought. The child immediately grabbed the knife that hangs behind the man shifted a little to the front and slashed on the man's neck. Everything was done smoothly in one clean move. The man didn't even notice that he's already on the death door.

"That's one", The boy murmured.

Then another man appeared on the corner of the door, just in time as the boy walked forward like a ghost and slashed the other guy's neck.

"Two".

He immediately sprinted through the hall and just in time, another man appeared from the corner, and like the others, his neck was also slashed with a knife.

"Three".

...

...

"And.... that's Fifteen people", the boy looked calmly at the bloody mess on the floor. He killed a lot of people that the floor was painted with blood. But the boy itself doesn't have any speck of blood on him. Even the knife he holds was as clean as new.

After the killing spree, he opened a door on a cell and come inside. Inside, many children like him were groveling with fear on the ground. He tapped the door twice with a knife to gain their attention and said, "You guys are free now".

???, everyone looked at the boy on the door weirdly. Finally, one of the children, a girl around 16 years old asked, "R-really? h-how about those big guys?"

The boy was too lazy to explain and just left the sentence, "If you don't believe it whatever", and then preparing to leave.

But before that, he looked at the corner of the room and saw a boy there, The boy throw the knife which hit the other boy's heart, the boy that was stabbed looked at him with a confused expression.

The boy didn't care about his fate afterward and just leave.

After he left, the stabbed boy lay lifelessly on the ground, the other children looked at the body with horrified expressions, some cry, and some threw up. but this doesn't concern the boy at all and he's already arrived outside.

The boy walked on the streets calmly, like everything that just happens was never at all happening.

"Hmm... it should be my 30th life?", Let me introduce myself, I'm Nero, and as you can tell, I was reborn. It's not the first time I was reborn, in fact, my first life was not here but in a modern world.

How can I die 29 times you asked? well, my first death is because of trying to save an old man and got into a car crash. If you asked if I regret it, then not really, that's because at that time I already have late-stage brain cancer and I'm gonna die anyway so might as well do good.

Well, that was my 1st life, my 2nd life ended because I know nothing about that place I was in. It was a place where they experimented on children, they want to fuse us with other species such as elf and fox species to sell at a higher price. If the experiment fails then the child will die, and you guessed it, the experiment on me is failed.

After that, I wasted 15 lives just so that I can leave alive. for 3 lives I live as a merchant but for some reason, I always got robbed and killed. I then learned assassination and became an assassin. As a young assassin, I still don't know anything about how the thing is and no one wants to teach me. So I died a total of 5 times before I can master the true art of assassination.

After that, I spent another 3 life perfectly killed all of the experimenters and bodyguards of that place. Why does it have to be perfect? because if they became alerted then they will send a bunch of assassins to its place, a lot of them, no way he can fight them all, so he died at that place 2 times and 1 because a child accidentally pressed the alert button.

Now in the last life, the child failed to press the button and has been following him since, you guessed it, his name is Charles, his friend that betrayed him in his last life and stabbed him in the back straight to his heart. Well, I already killed him so the case is solved.

Hah... life is too tiring, I want to just be a normal person in this life, farm, find the opposite sex to spend time with, have children, and died of old age. Well, actually scratch that "died of old age", I don't know if I won't get a rewind after death.

Anyway... Hungry... I can feel my stomach contracting back and it felt painful. I could definitely eat a brick at this rate.

At this time, I can a loud horn sounded from afar. Many people go to the source of the horn so I followed. At the source, he can see a pure white horse-drawn carriage through the road, on the side, there's a crest of the kingdoms of Creztine.

"Central city? A noble?", Nero frowned and looked at the carriage, inside was a girl with silver hair, snow-white skin, and a noble temper. He recognized the girl, if he's not mistaken, she should be Saria, the future High Priest of the Pope, and the girl that was sent to kill me.

"I don't remember her coming here in the last life, why is she here?", Nero murmured, feeling confused at this turn of events.

"Actually, nevermind, why should you confuse yourself with this, it's not my problem anyway", Nero thought, he just wants to be a normal civilian, who cares if it's High Priest or even the Queen of the country come he won't care, he doesn't have any criminal records now and he has no relationship, so he'll just be a peasant.

He thought and was going to leave, but just as he was turning around, he hears the coachman announced, "Her Highness was searching for a boy, about 15 years old, who has Black hair and eyes, If you see him please bring him to us alive and save, and we will reward you handsomely".

Hearing that, Nero stopped, hm? are they searching for him?... However, He immediately threw out this thought and started to walk away. No way, he's just a lone ghost, besides, even if they did search for him it can't be a good thing. He won't walk to potential trouble just like that.

At this time, Saria seems to notice something and got out of the carriage, when she got out of the carriage, the people turned respectful and chanted her name, but she doesn't want to care about this and hurried to Nero's direction.

Saria scurrying through the crowd and saw a young boy walked away. Her eyes brightened and she hurriedly walked toward the boy and patted him on the shoulder.

Nero, who was being patted on the shoulder, looked back and saw bright silver eyes looking at him. The eyes were so beautiful that he couldn't help but marvel for a split second, of course, it was only a split second and he already got his guard up again.

"Hello, who are you?", lies, I know you, but I just don't want to 'know' you.

"Nero?", The girl, overly beautiful she can even flip a country asked with a melodious voice.

"Sorry, I'm not Nero, I don't know anyone named Nero, please search again", after saying that, he immediately tried to walk away but the girl obviously didn't believe his lies and stopped him.

"Yeah? seriously miss, it's not polite to stop people on the street like this, I have some business to do", after saying that, he walked past her but was stopped again.

"You!", He was just about to be angry, but when he saw her face he was stunned. She looks at him with red eyes, like she was going to cry and he started to panic.

"W-wait, I didn't do anything, why are you crying?".

Saria sobbed, "Nero, let's go home okay? mom and dad are waiting...". Hearing what she said the crowd watching though they understand, oh, so it's a runaway child.

"Whoa there, miss, we just met, I didn't even know you", He looked at Saria weirdly. What the hell is this girl thinking about?.

"...", Saria become silent for a second and murmured, "Sorry".

After that, Nero felt his vision blackened and he fell unconscious.
