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.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Gray's Crucible
“The value you have brought to trade is immense, more than a thousand fold what any other traveler to Crucible has ever produced. More than even I produced during my journey.” The old man paused for a moment here, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a few seconds he begins again with weariness creeping into his voice. “As the Messenger of Crucible I have received the value of your life. You shall be awarded a body with potential equaling the value you have brought to this place in accordance with the laws of the higher realms. Now you shall depart for Crucible, but first; I, Jaze, will give you some advice.” The old man, Jaze, he had named himself paused a time. Time enough that Gray began to wonder if he was still present, when he suddenly continued in a low and serious tone, “You will undoubtedly have great potential Gray of Earth, but it is still only potential. What could be is not necessarily what will be. If you step foolishly in my world, if you can not live up to the potential you have bartered for, Crucible will crush you mercilessly and tear away your very soul.” A thought, cheerful and light was heard from Gray before his presence was sent rocketing away like a shooting star. “I’m looking forward to it.”
