The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

"Won't be long, won't be long. How is this not long, it's been one hour since we started climbing, can't they put some sort of teleportation to go to the top" complained Aiden, as he had been doing for the past 30 minutes.

At the start, he didn't mind it as he was looking around and enjoying the scenery, but as they continued to go up, the body of Aiden started to have difficulty keeping, after all, he wasn't in good shape.

"Don't worry, we'll soon arrive at the floor where we will buy your weapon," said Maelis, as she had been saying to Aiden for the past 30 minutes, but this time it was actually the truth.

The worst thing about climbing those stairs was that Aiden could see many floors with different but each time they were too expensive. The way their store worked was that the most important people wouldn't have to go up much to buy their weapons and the ones of were poor would have to work for it.

'Why are the poor people always the ones who have to do more?' thought Aiden, exasperated.

As he thought that, Maelis started shouting right beside him.

"We're here!"

"Why are you shouting, couldn't you just tell me normally?" said Aiden, getting annoyed quickly because of his lack of sleep.

He didn't even sleep since he had taken over this body and he could feel the effects, now more than ever. He felt as if he would crumble from the smallest push

Aiden not wanting to waste time and start falling asleep right there, started walking inside the floor. There were not many here, they were actually the only ones who had gone up here, everything inside this place seemed to be complete scrap. The hallway from the start was nowhere to be seen. It looked like a storage room for useless equipment.

"Why did you bring me here? Everything seems to be complete trash, please don't tell me I climbed all the way up here for absolutely nothing," said Aiden as he continued to look around himself, exasperated.

"You're completely wrong, I thought you would have an eye for this sort of thing but it seems like I was wrong. The weapons that can be found in this place are all made by apprentice blacksmiths of the Ravenwood family, even if they are not the best. They are still making quality equipment, don't worry."

"Okay sure they make good equipment, but how the hell are we going to find the weapon I want inside this place," said Aiden, looking at all the weapons on the ground that seemed to have been dropped here.

"Just use the system by picking the daggers on the ground, he'll give you information on the weapon or piece of equipment you picked up."

As she said that, Aiden picked up a sword on the ground, and sure enough a panel from the system appeared.

[Sunfire Sword]

[Rank: Intermediate]

[Restriction: Can only be used by Swordsman or a Special Class related to swords.]

[Skill: The sword can be enveloped by fire for 30 seconds. While on fire, the damage from the sword is doubled.]

[Description: A sword crafted skillfully by a blacksmith that needs experience. Overall, it is a good sword to use and it has a skill attached to it.]

Not wanting a sword he dropped it, but he was surprised to see that even items could have skills. After all, the weapons didn't have a system but maybe weapons are connected to the system because when crafting equipment, blacksmiths use the cores of monsters.

Wanting to know more about how weapons acquire skills he decided to ask his system to know more about it.

'System, what weapons or equipment, in general, come with skills?' asked Aiden in his mind to the system.

*Beep*

[Skill appear randomly on weapons but the more skillfully they are made, the more chances there are that a skill will appear on it. Basically, the higher their rank the more chances they have to have a skill.]

After learning about the skills of weapons and how they appeared on them, Aiden decided to pick up another weapon, this time a dagger.

The dagger was dark, with some lines of red running through it. It looked like lines of blood were on the dagger, and it caught the eyes of Aiden.

The system panel for the items once again appeared in front of him.

[Shadow Strike Dagger]

[Rank: Intermediate]

[Restrictions: Can only be used by Assassin or a Special Class related to assassination.]

[Skill (Shadow Strike): A strike which cannot be seen by the enemy except when the enemy has a higher Charm. It cost three Mana Points to activate.]

[Description: A dagger made for assassins, it was made skillfully by a talented apprentice blacksmith who was able to pass on some of the emotions he was feeling when crafting it. The skill of the weapon complements the type of user who can use it.]

Before calling Maelis over he decided to try and equip the weapon to see if he was able to use it.

This time no error message appeared it seemed he could use all types of weapons without any problem.

"Maelis, come here, I think I found a good dagger," said Aiden, calling Maelis over to him.

"How much does it cost, did you check? Normally, weapons made by apprentices don't cost much but if they are special they might cost more," said Maelis as she started to go over to Aiden.

"No, I'll check," answered Aiden, as he started looking at the price of the dagger which was attached to it.

"Bad news it's 1500 Credits, seems like I can't buy it," said Aiden, sad that he was not able to get this dagger because he really like the skill that was attached to it.

"Calm down, if you really want this dagger then I'll give you the 500 Credits you're missing. It's not much for someone like me, and you don't need to give it back. Let's just say you owe me one," said Maelis, trying to get a favor

"Sure, then should we go buy it," said Aiden, even if he didn't want to owe her one. He really liked the dagger and the skill that was on it, and he wanted it.

"Alright, I know you won't like it but to buy it we need to go back down, and we have to take the stairs once again."

"No, no, no, please is there nothing to help us around here to help us get back to the first floor," said Aiden, remembering the hell he suffered climbing those stairs.

Not having a choice, Maelis and Aiden made their way down to the first floor.

One hour later, they had finally arrived and Aiden went to buy the dagger.

"Finally, I can leave this damn place. Before leaving, I only need to buy this dagger," said Aiden as went to the counter and bought the dagger.

It could finally leave Ravenwood's shop after two hours of exercise. He decided that if he ever came back there, he would have a lot of money because he didn't want to climb those stairs again.
