Assassin's Creed | What If's

The one who started the Franchise

A/n: Hello again! Base on the title, since I notice this week is the 12th anniversary of Assassin's Creed, the very first one! So I made a what-if story for Altair, our boy! To celebrate this week's anniversary! Enjoy!

(Imagine: Altair came out from your PC, Ps4/3 or Xbox)

Altair x fem-reader!

I already played every single game of Assassin's Creed except for one- the very first Assassin's Creed. I tried playing it on my (name of your console or pc) but it keeps freezing every single time on the starting point. I gave up like 7 years ago, I ended up watching YouTubers play it. I wanna see Malik banter at Altair or when he meets Maria he goes "What sorcery is this?!" That quote got me every time but never on my own screen.

I keep thinking about the game but it might end up freezing again if I play it. I came home from an internship, it was a tiring but manage to do some work. I sat down on the couch thinking what to do after graduation, then I heard a stomach growling. "I'm hungry," I changed from my work clothes to my comfy clothes, ac shirt, and gray sweat pants and headed to the kitchen to cook my own noodles. While I was cooking, my mind wandered off thinking about the game. "Maybe I should go to my brother's room and give it a try," I told myself.

My brother isn't home, he's in Japan doing work there. I grab the keys to his room, with cook noodles and my phone. I opened the door and lay the keys on the table, I switch on the lights and the air conditioner. I sighed I look around his room it still looks messy, "he needs to do some cleaning soon," I thought. I turn on the (any console you use) and insert the AC disk when I see the old opening logo of the company brings back memories. I pressed the start button and started eating my noodles.

"I knew it,"

The game froze again and I look at Altair hovering between two buildings, it's funny to look at but I got upset. "Well, there's no way for me to play this again," I finished the bowl and went outside to put the bowl in the sink. I started to imagine what it's like to have a master assassin beside you? I return to the room suddenly a blade is near to my face, "Oh Jesus!" I shouted I glance at the figure and I couldn't be more enthusiastic to see Altair in front of me being hostile.

"Who are you and where am I?" The usual question from the master assassin, just like what I read from the fanfics on wattpad. He still points the blade in front of my face, "uhh, I'll explain everything. Only if you lay down your weapon cause' you can see-" gesturing my own waist "I'm unarmed," He was uncertain about it slowly he backs away and retracted the blade. His hidden blade, I can't believe it's real. "Anyway, let the explaining begin," I told him.

It took me three times to explain everything, he puts his fingers under his chin. "So, the war never actually exist?"

I nodded.

"The history may be true on your world but no artifacts like Piece of Eden exist?"

I nodded again.

He took a deep breath, "then why am I seeing the apple right now?" Altair points at the shelf where my brother places the collector's edition. "That's a replica, meaning it's fake," I told him. He facepalmed, "Right, I completely forgot about it."

"Altair, you keep pointing that thing, that's the 4th time already,"

"I know, I'm sorry."

He sounded sincere for a cold-blooded assassin, when I look at Altair he doesn't look like a killer. Then he stares at my (e/c) eyes, "So, what do I do now?" he asked. "Well, why not you live with me for a while?"
