The Assassin from Another World

Chapter 1: An assassin was born

Chapter 1: An assassin was born

"The target is moving in 8 o'clock position, and the target is holding a gun." I reported through a communication device placed in my ear

"Affirmative" Jaster, my colleague said

I was currently in my mission to kill the most wanted person with the most pricey bounty. With Jaster and I, we can kill this so called "Mafia Lord" in this city. The Mafia Lord is as young as I am and I couldn't believe that he became infamous in that age.

Hininga ako ng malalim at sinundan ang bawat kilos niya. Sa sobrang bilid namin ay hindi kami makikita o masusundan ng ordinaryong tao lamang. Kailangan ay bihasa sa tinatawag naming 'Qi'.

Qi is the foundation of all movements. If you are a veteran Qi user, then you have a potential of being a killer or assassin.

The Mafia Lord is not easy to deal with and he was presumably aware of Qi. He was busy dodging my attacks so Jaster throw a knife into his direction and hit his legs. He got distracted by it so I grab the opportunity to get behind his back and stab the Mafia Lord in his chest.

There's a saying that you shouldn't let your enemy strike behind.

He fell to the ground and began to vomit blood. He growled and glared at Jester. Jester just smirked while playing with his knife, twirling in his finger.

"You'll pay for it" he growled

Jaster slowly walked in front of the Mafia Lord and he kicked his face that made him thrown out.

"What's the price?" he smirked

"I'm afraid he's already dead, let him be besides we got the treasure that we need. " I said

I examine the treasure and it's a little but weird. It was a hexagonal box with a glass in the top. Because if the glass you can clearly see what's inside of it and it's was a tiny hourglass and some ancient writings on it.

But before I could make a move. Jaster was behind me and strike me with his knife in my chest and took the treasure from my hands.

How could this be...

I kneeled in pain and my breathing is slowly fading.

"J... Jaster.. why did you do this?" I asked

He laughed hysterically and wipe his tears from laughter.

"Valentine, you shouldn't let your enemy strike behind." He said

It was tears that falls through my eyes because of his betrayal. Jester was my partner since I become an assassin and I'm slowly falling in love with him. I thought that we could be together, a partner in crime throughout the years, and grow old together as we promised.

"Why..."

I bursted in tears while holding my wounded chest.

"Why did you do this? I thought we are partners in crime forever?" I cried

He laughed again, and his laugh pierced my heart even harder.

"I never thought of you as my partner in crime, Valentine. I only approach you because you are strong and talented. I pretended to be your ally and I didn't expect you to fell for it, stupid!"

He walks into my direction and made my chin up using his bloody knife that strikes me.

Are all of our memories... are all of them were fake?
