The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

After buying the dagger for Aiden, they decided to leave the shop. Aiden, now, wanted to leave right away and sleep in the place he called but he didn't even know how to go back to the slums.

"Maelis, how can I go back to the slums?" asked Aiden.

"Oh well, it's simple you just need to find an exit door which can be found almost everywhere around here and you will be teleported back to the place where you entered the Otherworld Underground Shop," said Maelis, looking as if she wanted to ask something.

After a moment of silence, she decided to ask it.

"Hmm... Aiden, when is your next trial?"

"In about two days why?"

"Well, I was thinking about some things today and I decided that I wanted to invite you to visit my family manor. If you like our infrastructure and our family, I thought that we could try to recruit you into it. What do you say?" asked Maelis, nervous as to what Aiden would respond.

"If I go over there and think about joining it, will it count as the favor I owe you?"

Aiden wanted to get rid of that favor as soon as possible because he didn't want Maelis to ask anything too important from him.

"Sure, if that's what it takes," said Maelis, she looked desperate for him to come to try and convince him.

She wanted him to come because if she was able to recruit him, maybe he could help her family become even stronger with the appearance of a special class, which was what she thought he was.

Maelis was convinced Aiden had a special class but she didn't ask him yet. She decided to wait until he came to their mansion to ask.

One thing to know was that if she ever learned about his connection with the Nightshade family, she would never try to poach Aiden even a little, scared of the reaction of the Nightshade.

"Then, where's your family manor located and how do I go there?" asked Aiden.

"Don't worry about it, we'll find you and pick you up. How's 10 am sound like?" asked Maelis.

"Sure, I'll be ready by then."

After exchanging their goodbyes, Aiden was now in search of an exit door that would allow him to go back to the slums, wanting to find his bed as quickly as possible.

Maelis, on the other hand, didn't have the luxury of relaxing. She needed to prepare everything for the next day so that everything would be perfect. She, also, needed to find where Aiden lived in the slums. To find out where he lived, she hurried to the information center where she had met Aiden and quickly asked an elf to find all the information possible on Aiden.

Meanwhile, after a couple of minutes, Aiden finally found an exit door and quickly opened it wanting to be teleported back.

A message from the system appeared once again, telling him he was going to get teleported.

[You are being teleported to the Slums Otherworld Underground Entrance.]

After returning to the slums, Aiden went back to his home and slept like he never did before. His eyes closed by themselves, and he slept instantly. It seemed that all the actions he had gone through recently were hard on him and that he at least needed some rest.

However, before going to bed, he quickly checked how much time was left until he would get summoned to his second trial.

[You will be summoned to the Otherworld in one day.]

The next day, Aiden woke up because he started hearing the sounds of someone knocking on his half-broken door.

*Knock*

*Knock*

Walking up to the door he kinda knew who was on the other side, and it was exactly what he had thought.

There was someone wearing all black that resembled an elf knocking on his door, she was probably here to take him to Everheart's family.

"Are you ready to go?" asked the elf before him as she showed the black limousine behind her.

"One second, I'll go change, it won't take long," said Aiden as he quickly went back to his room and changed clothes.

He came back and was now ready to leave.

He followed the elf dressed in black and entered the black limousine that was parked in front of his shed. The luxurious car being parked outside of his house was weird when looking at the environment that was surrounded by people who had barely enough to survive.

Twenty minutes later, Aiden finally arrived at the manor of the Everheart where all their operations seemed to take place.

At the entrance gate of the manor, were two maids, one on each side of the gate, that looked exactly like Emily. The maid, however clearly didn't have the same power as Emily. That was probably normal since they were not one of the founding families and only a medium-level one.

"Welcome to the Everheart Manor," said both the maids at the entrance gate at the same time while bowing toward him.

It was now time for Aiden to enter the manor and he got greeted like he was an important guest for the first time in his life, the maids acted as if he was already their master, treating him with more respect than Emily ever did.

It felt good being respected for the first time, his mentor never once truly respected him and only used Aiden for his own goal.

His mentor complimented him after finishing his missions but he never respected him one bit, the proof of this was him killing Aiden when he felt Aiden becoming too powerful and that he would soon surpass him.

Not wanting to remember anything else about his mentor, he quickly dismissed those thoughts.

He entered the manor and it was beautiful, he had never seen a building that was this luxurious, he was in a place where they liked to show their wealth, to say the least, with their furniture that seemed to be made out of gold. Everyone inside the manor seemed to be wearing armor that cost at least twenty times the value of his dagger.

'Can I get equipment like this if I join this family?' thought Aiden.

The equipment he was seeing was really tempting and was clearly tilting the chances of accepting the deal, that Maelis would propose to him later, positively.

'Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to live here?' thought Aiden looking at the interior of the manor.
