Episode 1
On a pitch-dark night, a man in a night suit landed on the roof of a mansion like a cat.
Shuk.
The man looked like a ghost.
It doesn’t even make the slightest sound, but it moves incredibly fast.
Before he knew it, the man passed through the garden and entered the outer stairway attached to the main room.
Then he stopped and waited for a moment without moving.
chuck. chuck. chuck!
“It’s shift time.”
“Oh, thank you for your hard work. I’ll turn around and go in.”
“Yes, please go in.”
Clap!
Coincidentally, in the hallway, the knights were taking shifts.
Swoop.
After passing through the banquet hall and heading to the main room, the wariness of the knights became even more fierce.
However, once they entered the room where the target was sleeping, the suffocating surveillance network disappeared.
Even a knight would not be able to invade the master’s private life.
Click.
The intruder cautiously closed the double-glazed windows and went straight to bed.
There, a stout man was asleep with a young woman in his arms.
thru.
The intruder drew a dagger from his bosom and stabbed the two men in succession.
Pupuk!
“Cheuk!”
“Kreukreuk!”
The man waited until the two’s hearts stopped, then repeated the rough cutting with the dagger used in the crime.
hooked! Pupuk! Spock!
It was to hide the fact that a professional assassin had killed it.
As if he was enraged, the man who poured sword strikes at the woman drove the dagger into her spine and quickly retreated.
Despite the brutal chopping, there was barely any blood on the night suit.
Because it was very technical.
Eventually, the man purposely left traces of break-in on the window and left the mansion.

“Code name Crow. Mission accomplished.”
“So Young-ju’s dagger?”
“Of course it’s not perfect, right? Who handled it?”
“What kind of report is that… Huh! Yes. Let’s take a day off at the safe house and return to the main house.”
“Yes, yes.”
I was talking to a man with a normal impression.
It was my boss disguised as a back alley bully who threw the wooden plaque while leaning against the wall.
However, the supervisor did not impose any sanctions on the report, which was said casually.
Because I’ve never made a mistake before.
Besides, there was a fundamental reason why I couldn’t do anything about it.
I entered a dark alley and pushed my body toward the wall.
He entered the inner house through a narrow entrance covered by a camouflage membrane.
After going through the passage for a while, I came across several rooms with soft lights.
‘E51.’
The wooden plaque I received from my supervisor had the room number written on it.
When I found my room and turned the doorknob, cold energy flowed out along with a metallic sound and ran through my body.
Before long, a bed that could barely fit a person and a bucket for toileting appeared.
It was a terrible environment.
dump.
Lying on the bed, I took out a small notebook and opened it.
It was a record of achievements whenever a mission was completed.
‘The upgrade requirements have been met.’
My achievements so far have been 30 factor assassinations of level 2 difficulty.
Despite being only 18 years old, he has made remarkable achievements.
When he returned to his hometown, he would definitely be promoted to a first-class agent.
Level 1 is an agent with an approximate level of tier 5, and was often assigned the position of leader of an armed force.
‘I’m sure an assassin would be better.’
Although Landsvalger’s discipline was very strict, agents were quite free in their career choices.
In order to continue the plan, an informant who is relatively safe and has frequent outside activities will be more advantageous.
However, since it was difficult for an informant to make a clear contribution, there was a disadvantage that the promotion was limited to that extent.
It seemed good to keep the position of assassin, as he had done so far.
‘Deinox… … . Why did you make me like this?’
As I was lying down and looking at my notebook, an incident from 18 years ago suddenly came to mind and engulfed my mind.
Surprisingly, the summoned Deinox transferred my soul into the body of a newborn child.
It wasn’t the effect I expected, but it was a good result to live a new life.
But the joy of resurrection was very short-lived.
Because I was born as the fourth child of the Landswalger family, who can be said to be enemies.
“In a way, it might be the best revenge. It’s like planting a cancerous lump in the enemy’s body.”
I intended to step up step by step and rise to the top of the family.
After that, I will kill this heinous family, as well as all those who took part in the incident 18 years ago.
If a lazy genius works hard, it will clearly show how terrifying he can become.
I put on a bleak smile and folded the notebook.
‘Before that, let’s get out of this damn place. No matter how 2nd level agent, what a room like this… … .’
Then, he looked dissatisfiedly through the musty-smelling alcove, waiting for the time to pass.
* * *
The next day, I headed straight for the port of Palos.
It was because he had to take a boat to go to the island of Black Lin where the Landsvalger family was located.
The harbor was full of passenger and fishing boats.
I wandered around the pier looking for a boat with the family mark on it.
Then he started asking the captain about something out of the blue.
“How much do marlin scales cost these days?”
“The big one is 9 geld and the small one is 30 cells. Are you interested?”
“It’s expensive. How about renting a fishing boat?”
“Just give me 5 cells.”
I handed over five silver coins and boarded the ship.
Finally, at 9:30, the captain started rowing without a word.
shoot! shoot it!
The route from Palos Port to Blackscale Island was very rough.
However, the captain was accustomed to moving in search of a safe waterway.
After a while, the huge island revealed its majestic appearance.
The outer wall looks like a large fish scale attached together and the endless sea fog spreads out.
This was the home of the Landsvalger family, the island of Black Rin.
‘I can’t be more lucky because I’m cool.’
The whole was built like a castle and gave off an overwhelming energy.
As the ship reached the outskirts of the island, it raised its head and gazed at the tallest spire.
Then it felt as if the pointed top of the tower would pierce my chest.
Standing on the boat, I gazed up at the island of Black Rin, where strange majesty flowed.
It’s like meeting the opponent of a lifetime.
