" Hey, have you heard the commander-in-chief of one of the western kingdoms was brutally killed by Orpheus. He wrote he's crimes all over his body. That commander actually destroyed a family for their heirloom and did many such heinous crimes."

"I know. That happened weeks ago. Just three days ago the king of a certain kingdom was found with thousands of rods drilled into his body. That king had whipped several women to death to vent his anger behind his families back. He wrote each of his crimes in big letters all over his castle."

" That's nothing.I'm coming from the neighbouring kingdom. The king of that kingdom received his son-in-law's hand with a note spiked in it which stated how he was raping the servants working for him behind his wife and the king's sister's back. He was cut into hundreds of pieces while he was alive and send to each household whose mother,sister or daughter was raped. Each part of his body was in such a state that even a child could tell that he was brutally tortured before being cut to pieces."

Such gossips were heard in the market of Hastinapur.

An assassin named Orpheus was killing evil people all over aryavart.

I was shopping for somethings while secretly hearing everything and gathering information before heading back to the forest in the back.

I walked a bit further from the road normally taken by people who crosses this forest before stopping at a certain place.After that I chanted a mantra as an opening leading to an underground basement opened. I headed down. Inside was a house with all the facilities. A kitchen, hall,a study room, a practice area,ect. I went to a certain room where many weapons were kept and dark assassin suit was also there.

With just this hint, you should have guessed by now. Yup,I am Orpheus.  The assassin who gives death to all who abuse their power for evil.

Why did I chose this name instead of a easier hindi name. Simple, it's the name I went by when I was in the bussiness of assassination. That's why I wouldn't change it for anything. Also because it's a cool name.

In this two years, I used cloning and disguise magic to use my time efficiently. I spend an entire day with my family once a week and spend the rest the week doing several things such as building this hideout which has been officially completed now,improving archery and weapon proficiency, increase the power of divyastra, getting better in magic,black magic, medicines, gaining experience by killing evil people,asurs,rakhsas,daitya,pishaj, exercising for more strength and agility,etc.

For weaponry practice- I have been practicing the same moves as well as new moves and new training for my improvement. Practicing the same moves everyday is important because as once said by Bruce lee- I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. I've also been developing my own moves.

For archery- I have noticed that I have already mastered the five forms of archery. Which is strange as you need lord Shiva's blessings for the fifth form. I've several theories for why this is happening but no proof. So I'll keep it to myself for now. My aim in Archery is definitely equal or even surpasses to shree ram's. But my arrows still do not have much strength.

For divyastra and maya astra- I've used tips from my memories to maximize their power as well as try to use my own brain to increase their power. No,I didn't literally used my brain but used my imagination to think of ideas for increasing my divyastra and maya astra powers. Some ideas were successful while some failed. Regardless I keep trying.

In magic and black magic- I've been practicing magic daily. Because of this I've found something similar to mana pool in my body. It keeps growing with body growth as well as because of my training. With bigger mana pool, I'm able to use magic more efficiently and with more power. After I mastered cloning magic, I've been able to make time with my parents and for my training both. But with black magic,the progress was slow but the countermeasures against black magic were developing finely. I've also been trying to find another catalyst for black magic than human sacrifices and negative feelings.
