Fantasy Assassin In A Modern World Chapter 4
Advertisement
There were some mages that claimed that they could live forever if they learned the spell of transmigration, yet despite numerous attempts, none succeeded.
Fade was now in a situation that countless mages dreamt of achieving but he still couldn't believe it was happening to him. Why did he transmigrate into this body? If transmigrating wasn't enough he was now thrown into a different world.
When Fade left the hospital the sight he was greeted to was amazing. Towers reaching the very heavens, metal carriages with no horses that sped through the nice-looking streets. Also even though it was night time the whole place was illuminated.
Every time he saw something new some parts of the past owner's memories would return to him. It wasn't much but it did help him understand the things he was seeing. It would seem that unlike the world he was in before which revolved around magic, this new world revolved around science and technology. He was grateful for the bits of information he receives through the past owner's memory, but Fade wished that all of the memories would come to him so that he can blend into this new world properly.
...
Fade who was now Loki Matsuda had arrived at his house with his new sister Alisa. The place was two stories tall and was pretty nice looking. When they entered Loki noticed that someone else was inside the house, and he quickly looked at the surrounding area trying to spot things he could use as a weapon.
"Hey Liam, big brother is back." When Loki heard Alisa called out to the unknown person in the living room, he curiously looked at the person laying on the couch playing with some kind of rectangular-shaped object. The person called Liam looked at the new arrivals with an irritated look on his face.

Same as Loki and Alisa, Liam had black hair and eyes. Liam also had a couple of earings in his right ear. When Loki saw Liam's face same as the time he met Alisa, memories about Liam were flooding into his mind. Even though it wasn't too much since only little bits of memories of that person return, it still hurts when they suddenly flood Loki's mind.
This was Loki's younger brother Liam who was a middle schooler. This younger brother used to be meeker before and loved clinging onto him, but all of this changed when their parents died. Nowadays this younger brother of his always treated him rudely. Even the past owner of the body didn't know why Liam seems to hate him so much. While Loki was trying to absorb the new memories, seeing the pained expression on Loki's face made Liam smirk.
"Oh, it's the loser. I heard that you have amnesia."
"Liam! Big brother is already having a difficult time right now, so why are you still acting like that?" Alisa tried to scold Liam, but it didn't have the effect she wanted, as he simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Lame." Liam stood up from the couch and passed by the two and headed to the entrance of the house.
"Where are you going?" Alisa asked but Liam didn't bother to answer and simply left. Alisa sighed as she watched Liam leave without a word.
"I'm sorry about that big brother."
"No, it's alright."
"Oh, I forgot to say, that was our youngest sibling, Liam. He's fourteen years old right now and he's in middle school. Do you remember him?"
"A bit..."
Alisa looked at Loki's reaction or lack of one and sighed again. It would seem that the road ahead was going to be a long one.

...
Alisa took Loki around the house, and after their little house tour, she showed him to his room. Loki's room was located on the second floor of the house right next to the staircase. Upon entering Loki's room the first thing one would notice was the enormous amount of books.
"This is your room big brother."
"There's a lot of books."
"Yeah, you like to read. You even kept all of your textbooks from grade school up to college. I'll be going down to make dinner. If you need anything just call."
Once Alisa left the room Loki started looking around the room. There were really a lot of books, half of the room was filled with books. There was a small bed at the side and on another side was a machine that seems to emit cold air. There was also the rectangular object that Liam was playing with on a nearby desk. Loki picked it up and started looking at it.
'I guess this is something most people have.' Loki looked at it for a few more seconds before he placed the object down. He then noticed a larger object that looked like a thin book, but it had no pages but it had letters on it. There was also a bigger version of the rectangular object that was also placed on his desk. After looking around the room some more, Loki then sat on a chair and sighed.
'These damn memories don't come when I need them. It's a good thing I can understand their language and I can read, so the first thing I need to do is acquire more knowledge about this world. Well, I was fortunate enough to gain the body of someone who owns so many books I can start researching by reading these things. I also need to train my new body, this one is too weak. There's also the problem with my mana.'
Loki tried to once again circulate mana into his body. Even though it was pathetically weak it was still there. At the moment the only spell he could use was the [Enhancement] spell. A spell that could enhance the power of one's body. It can also be used to strengthen an object. At the moment he could only enhance one part of his body for a short period of time. As for enhancing objects, he could only do it with small objects.
'I guess I need to add some mana training as well, now that I have so little I need to have better control... Alisa did tell me that I have something called a sick leave, and I have three months before I need to return to work. I'll use that time to gain more knowledge and train this body. For now, what should I read first?'
Loki looked at the numerous stacks of books, he then picked up a book called World History I.

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)

Battle Hardened
Formerly know as "Long experience" I have changed the name due to feedback saying it sounding like a dick joke. When the apocalypse started most people ran or hid, but Texas has a different mentality. This story follows the exploits of a group of physically and mentally damaged military veterans that have found themselves on the frontline fight at the end of the world. Zombies, robots, and aliens are only the first enemies they fight in what wil become humanity's long war or last stant against to a hostile universe. This series is actually based on a series of strange and bizarre dreams/nightmares I had on 2010 and heavily influenced by my reading of Humanity Fuck Yeah stories. Cover: I actually made a much larger cover than necessary and was forced to crop out two thirds of it, the full image can be found here http://fav.me/ddkz10t

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
