The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



"The tournament won't be held soon, it doesn't have a date yet but it is said that it will be in at least a month. So, you don't need to worry about it as of right now. I'll tell you when it's time for you to participate."

Then, after saying that, they quickly talked about some details about the armor he wanted and other stuff like that. 

Maelis decided that the armor that he was going to receive was going to be custom-made by one of the best blacksmiths in the guild.

She reassured him that it was going to be quite good and that it was going to be at least intermediate.

After a couple of minutes, there didn't seem to be any problem with the contract and Aiden simply signed it.

It was now official, he had joined a middle-level family. 

*BEEP*

[You are now bound to the Everheart family.]

Even the system acknowledged his relationship with it since the contract probably had ties with the system since he had basically appeared out of nowhere.

After signing the contract, Aiden was quite impatient as he wanted to meet the person who would answer his questions about the system.

"So, when can I meet the person who knows about the system?" 

But as he asked the question, he noticed that Maelis didn't respond right away and started thinking a little, unsure about the delay it would take.

"Well, it will probably take a week or so to get here as he is probably busy at the moment," said Maelis as she still didn't reveal the identity.

"Who is he?" asked Aiden, as he wanted to learn more about the person who was supposed to explain the system.

He wanted to make that he would be good enough, he didn't want half-baked information.

But, clear and simple facts.

"He's a mercenary, he isn't affiliated with any families even the founding families. It is said that he has obtained a lot of knowledge as he kept clearing trials and exploring the world of Nova," explained Maelis as she started to explain who he was.

Aiden started to get intrigued when he learned that the man she was talking about wasn't in any of the families. 

This didn't make much sense to Aiden as he knew that the easiest way to get stronger was to join a family as they would give resources to you.

Aiden thought about asking him questions about his journey when meeting as he could probably help him.

"Are mercenaries rare?" asked Aiden, trying to get more information.

"Yes, they are. Mercenaries are quite uncommon since most people decide to join a family to get stronger. However, most of the time, those mercenaries are really talented which gave them the opportunity to not depend on everyone else except themselves."

It confirmed Aiden's thoughts from earlier that mercenaries were quite rare and uncommon.

He started thinking that maybe becoming a mercenary would have been a better choice, but he quickly dismissed those thoughts from his mind as he knew that it didn't make much sense because he had already joined the Everheart family.

"Then, can you tell me when he arrives?"

"Sure, how can I contact you?" asked Maelis, as she didn't know of any way to contact him.

"Hmm, I don't really know about that I lived in the Slums my entire life, shouldn't you be the one telling me?" asked Aiden, as he had absolutely no idea about what they used here.

It probably wasn't cell phones like on Earth since they had access to magic and mana who knew what they had come up with.

"You're right, I totally forgot about that. Here, that's what we call a [Mental Transmitor]. Just infuse some of your mana inside of it and it will connect to mine right away," explained Maelis as she knew that Aiden had no idea how it worked.

The [Mental Transmitor] didn't look anything like a cell phone, it was as thin as a sheet of paper and was completely white. 

Actually, it really resembled a small sheet of paper, but there was probably more to it that Aiden couldn't understand.

Taking the [Mental Transmitor] in his hands, Aiden wanted to try and see if it worked.

But, when he tried to infuse mana into the small sheet of paper. 

He realized that he had actually no idea of how to move the mana contained in his body.

Sure he knew, that he had 10 points of this Mana since it was in his [Status], but he didn't know how to use it.

After all, his skills didn't require any mana, they simply came from his past life except [Mind of an Assassin] and [Gentle Touch].

He was kind of embarrassed that he needed to ask Maelis, but he still went ahead with it since he had no other choice.

"What I'm about to say might be weird... but I actually don't know how to use Mana," said Aiden with an expression that showed how embarrassed he was at the moment.

This revelation shocked her for a quick second, but she quickly remembered that he was born in the Slums with no knowledge about how the world actually worked.

"Right, don't worry about it. Actually, it's quite simple, I'll teach you how to use it."

"Close your eyes, try to focus on yourself."

"Only what is inside your mind is important everything else is useless."

Then, Aiden entered complete silence as he listened to her every word.

He now had a view of inside his body, he couldn't see anything. He was in complete darkness.

But then, he heard the voice of Maelis once again.

"Try to find the energy inside of you. It should be a small blue ball, it's usually around the neck area, but if it's not there then do not worry it will probably be close to it."

As Maelis said that, Aiden started to try and find the small blue energy which she was talking about.

And after a few seconds, he still couldn't find it.

It seemed like his mana wasn't around his neck.
