The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Seeing that his strike didn't do much, Aiden backed off to think about what he could do to kill the wolf.

Knowing that his weapon wasn't effective against the massive wolf-like creatures, Aiden decided to leave the immediate confrontation and assess his options. He scanned the area, his eyes searching for anything that could potentially be used as a weapon against these formidable foes.

Amongst the rubble of the destroyed buildings, he spotted large pieces of twisted metal and scattered bricks. Aiden knew that these objects had the potential to cause damage, but they lacked the necessary sharpness to deliver a killing blow. Nevertheless, he realized that their weight and size could be an advantage if used strategically.

With a determined mindset, Aiden began to carefully examine the surrounding environment, assessing the terrain and identifying the ideal location for his trap. He envisioned a high vantage point on one of the sturdy buildings, a place where he could maximize the force of gravity and increase the impact of his makeshift weapons.

Each piece of metal and brick he found was a challenge to move, their weight far surpassing what he was accustomed to handling with his dagger. He attempted to lift them initially but quickly realized it was futile. Undeterred, he adjusted his approach, deciding to drag the heavy objects to the designated location instead.

Straining every muscle, Aiden exerted himself to position the pieces atop the chosen building. He carefully arranged them, ensuring that they were stable and ready to be released. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he focused on aligning the contraption, knowing that the success of his plan hinged on precise timing and execution.

Finally, when everything was in place, Aiden surveyed his handiwork. The anticipation built within him as he realized the trap was set. Now all he needed to do was lure the creatures into the kill zone.

Aiden contemplated his next move, strategizing how to attract the attention of the monsters. He decided that creating a distraction through noise would be the most effective method. With a deep breath, he summoned his vocal cords and clapped his hands, generating a cacophony of sound that echoed through the desolate streets.

The head of every creature in the vicinity turned, their attention drawn toward the source of the commotion. Aiden's heart raced as he watched them converge on his position, driven by instinct and the promise of an easy meal. He had successfully baited them into his trap.

His system was having problems showing all the rewards he got.

[You have gained XP]

[You have leveled up.]

...

The notifications weren't stopping and it seemed he had leveled up at least one time and Aiden was interested in seeing what rewards he would get leveling up.

'Status' thought Aiden.

[Aiden Nightshade]

[Level 4]

[Health: 100]

[Mana: 5]

[Race: Human]

[Class: None]

[Strength: 1]

[Agility: 1]

[Stamina: 1]

[Charm: 2]

[Unallocated Stat Points: 4]

[Skills]

[Dagger mastery Lvl.3 (Passive)]

[???]

'What is this?' thought Aiden, not understanding why a skill had appeared in his status and he couldn't get any type of information about it, which was quite weird.

But he also knew that thinking about this wouldn't give him anything so he quickly switched his thoughts to the free stat points he could add to his current stats.

It seemed he had leveled up to level four which didn't shock Aiden that much. But if any of the teammates who had abandoned him at the start heard about this they would feel even more shocked than just seeing those notifications popping up in front of them. It was a leveling speed that had never been seen before and Aiden had no idea of his achievement.

As he saw the free stat points he could add to his stats, he now understood that when leveling up, he would be able to get one unallocated stat point which he would be able to apply to the stat he wished. Seeing his four free stat points, he questioned himself to see what stat would be best to upgrade to fight those monsters.

At first, he thought it would be best for him to get more agility since he was used to being nimble and it will help him with the current skills he had right now because they were assassination oriented.

But he didn't want to only add stats points to his agility, he thought that strength and dexterity were good options since having more strength could probably allow him to hurt stronger enemies just like those wolves. He, also, didn't want to be in the same situation as earlier since he wouldn't be able to make those types of traps every time.

However, the stats he didn't even consider were defense, stamina, and charm since they wouldn't give him anything that would help him right now, but they would probably be able to help him in other trials.

His final choice was to add two stat points to agility, one to strength, and one to dexterity.

After adding those stats, he started moving and he could immediately see the changes, he could feel that he was faster than earlier. He could feel himself becoming faster, he could feel the upgrade even if it was a small one.

***

On the other side of the city, the rest of his teammates were still fighting hard against the monsters and it seemed that they had a bit of difficulty but since they were acting as a team they didn't have to employ a strategy that looked like the one of Aiden.

They were straight up fighting the wolves but it wasn't as efficient as Aiden's method and they were slower than him which caused them to see all the notifications of his kills, and they knew that they had made a mistake separating from him.

However, they were still able to kill all the monsters coming after them.

But this didn't prevent Ava from regretting her choice of abandoning him, as she was looking at the rankings, shocked to see the number of points Aiden had gotten.

[Rankings]

[Aiden: 32 points]

[Ava: 14 points]

[James: 10 points]

[Gus: 4 points]

Ava was now truly disturbed by the pace Aiden had been killing monsters.

'Just who is that guy? He shouldn't be able to kill that amount of zombies in such a small time. Is he someone from the big families?' thought Ava, not understanding the talent that was coming out of Aiden.

Gus and James, too, found themselves grappling with similar thoughts. The speed and efficiency with which Aiden had decimated the first wave of monsters left them bewildered. It appeared that Aiden had intentionally concealed his true power and identity during their encounter in the waiting room. The realization left them feeling a mix of curiosity, respect, and a touch of regret for their past behavior.

Ava couldn't help but regret her previous attitude towards Aiden. If he truly hailed from one of the formidable families, she knew they held unimaginable authority and influence. They dictated the rules and norms of society, with the power to shape the world according to their whims. If Aiden belonged to such a lineage, he could easily make her vanish without a trace, erasing any lingering questions or doubts.

However, she didn't seem scared on the outside and kept a smile on her face, trying to show that she was still confident about her decision.

The moment the two other boys saw her smile, they immediately lost control of any rational thought and wanted to protect her.

"Should we go back and go see him, maybe he can help us after all," said Ava.

"Yes, you're right that's a great idea!" responded the two other guys, not paying attention to whatever they were saying.
