The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



"Your worth has increased and how can I judge that?" asked Maelis who knew that he had gotten stronger but she couldn't tell with only a quick look how strong he had gotten.

"Oh, right I didn't think of that. Well, I guess I could tell you about the rewards I got," said Aiden, understanding that he had to reveal some things about himself for her to offer a good offer to him.

"So, first off by succeeding in the trial as you know I got access to all Assassin-Related Skills, and who knows I would probably be able to get access to other class skills as well in the future," said Aiden waiting to see her reaction.

He could that she started nodding as she seemed to analyze the information that he had just said, after all, it was a first even for her.

"Did the trial give you another reward?" asked Maelis wanting to know more about what he has received.

"Well, I got a [Return Stone] in the trial and some experience at the end but that was it."

She kept nodding not being surprised by the lack of rewards since he had already obtained a massive one in her opinion.

But then she heard an item that she hadn't expected come out of the voice of Aiden.

"Wait can you repeat what you just said?" asked Mia, wanting to be sure of what she had just heard.

"I got some experience at the end of the trial?" said Aiden, unsure why she asked him to repeat.

"Not that, the thing you said right before."

"Oh I also got a [Return Stone]," said Aiden nonchalantly not knowing why she was making such a big deal out of it.

'He really did get one, but how did he get it? He was alone goddammit,' thought Maelis, not understanding how he could have one.

Return Stones were after all, only obtainable by killing the strongest monster in the trial and Aiden having one meant that he had succeeded in doing so.

She wanted to know more about how he got it, so  she started questioning him.

"How did you get it?"

"Did you get help killing it?"

It was the exact same as earlier multiple questions kept coming out of her mouth not letting Aiden talk.

Aiden once again needed to calm her down, "Please relax, I'll tell you but before that, you need to make me an offer for me to join."

He wanted to see the benefits he could gain from being in a middle-level family.

Coming out of her excitement, she didn't give him an offer but instead a question.

"What do you want?"

The fact that she asked this question meant that she would do anything to keep him here.

His achievements were simply too good to not take him in. 

He had completed the second trial alone, he had gotten a [Return Stone], and he had this weird thing where he could gain access to different Class Related Skills.

He was simply too good to pass on, she needed to act before the other families caught wind of his existence.

'What do I want?' thought Aiden as he didn't expect this question to come out of Maelis's mouth.

"Can you give me a couple of seconds to think about it," said Aiden wanting to organize his thoughts to ask exactly what he wanted.

Maelis quickly accepted but she reminded him that she couldn't give him everything she owned, he had to be reasonable with his demands as she didn't have infinite funds.

Even if he was talented and quite promising, she couldn't ruin her family just to obtain him.

Aiden heard her and nodded knowing that he couldn't be too unreasonable with her.

The first thing he wanted was to have more information about the system which granted everyone power, he didn't understand how it worked as it seemed to be a real person controlling it behind the scenes since it always tried to skip some of his questions.

He also wanted more information about the creation of skills even if the system had answered him vaguely, he needed more details on it since he could get more skills that way.

After all, created skills didn't use the slots that he had for the skills.

He wanted light armor to protect in some places but that wasn't an emergency even if Maelis refused he didn't really care.

He obviously wanted to learn about their technique and if he would fit with his fighting style even if Maelis had already told him that he wasn't quite good for a close combatant.

After a minute or so of thinking, the mouth of Aiden started opening keeping Maelis on the edge of her seat.

"Tell me if any of those demands are too hard to accomplish," said Aiden, waiting for Maelis to nod. "Alright, the first I want is probably quite hard to get but I would need to speak with someone who can tell me more about the system which everyone uses."

"During the Second Trial, I noticed some weirds things about it and I need someone that can tell me more," said Aiden as he waited for Maelis to tell him if it was possible.

This was his most important demand and the only one which he really cared about.

"You want to learn more about the system, huh? That should be possible, but what kind of things do you want to learn?" asked Maelis not sure if the person she had in mind could answer all his questions.

"Well, things like where it comes from? Who created it? How does it create skills, especially for us? Just general knowledge."

Maelis nodded, Aiden was asking good questions and she was now sure that she could find someone to answer him.

Even though she knew some answers to his questions, her knowledge was quite vague as she didn't care that much about the origins of this system as she had simply lived with it for her entire life.

She didn't want to say things to Aiden that wasn't true which is why she decided to not tell him anything about such things.
