The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

"Argh, why isn't working?" questioned Aiden out loud as he opened his eyes once again, still in that darkness.

He thought that he had figured it out and that when opening his eyes once again he would actually be able to see once again but it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

He had thought that he had been right all that time, but it seemed that everything he had just done had been completely useless.

Well, not everything as he was happy to have figured out something about those chains.

Aiden couldn't be sure obviously, but he had an intense feeling that those chains were a curse that had been put on him when he had been a toddler.

However, what he ignored the most was the reason.

Why would anyone even try to do such a thing to a toddler, it simply made no sense at all.

However, he had already spent enough thinking about those things which is why he dismissed those thoughts for later as he needed to figure out, how to gain his eyesight once again.

But, before he could do that, it seemed that Isolde who was only a couple of steps away from him had heard what he said earlier.

"What isn't working?" she questioned, unsure of what was happening at the moment,

When she heard his voice once again, she knew that it was time for her to learn about whatever he had figured out. 

But, when she heard about his answer, she had no choice but to be extremely disappointed as it seemed that whatever Aiden had just failed and badly at that.

"Nothing's working, that's the problem, Isolde," answered back Aiden, harshly, clearly mad about this situation.

He had tried acting nice with Isolde, however, enough was enough. 

Why was she always the one asking for help?

Why was she the one who was never helping Aiden?

Why did Aiden even need her in the first place?

'She doesn't even help me one bit. The only reason that she reached the second challenge is because of me, why am I even helping her in the first place?' thought Aiden, unsure of the actual reasons.

'Is it because she's beautiful?' thought Aiden after some time.

However, as he thought that, he disagreed with it as he wasn't the type to be influenced by beauty. 

'I guess I really was only trying to be nice to her,' concluded Aiden, not understanding why he had even done that in the first place.

No one was nice to him and he had never had a problem, so why was he suddenly trying to be nice with others?

It's not like he needed them, they couldn't even help with anything.

They had no answers, no knowledge, nothing.

So, why was he keeping them around?

Aiden had no idea.

He had no idea why he had used his wish at the end for Emma.

The more he thought back on it, the more he insulted himself.

'Fucking hell, just how stupid am I?' thought Aiden, realizing that he should have never done that in the first place.

Then, as he thought of all those things, he felt the touch of Isolde basically hugging him.

"Are you okay?" she whispered into his ear, unsure why he was sounding so angry.

'Just what happened while he was silent,' thought Isolde, understanding that something had clearly gone terribly wrong as Aiden had never spoken to her with such a tone.

'Am I okay... Am I okay? Is she fucking serious, why would I be okay?' thought Aiden, feeling the anger from within him constantly rising.

"Why would I even be okay?" answered back Aiden, with the same tone as earlier.

"Calm down," continued Isolde in her attempt to comfort Aiden.

However, Aiden's next response made her realize that whatever she tried wouldn't change anything about whatever was happening to him right now,

"Calm down? Don't tell me to calm down. Why are you even speaking to me in the first place? We don't even know each other, stop trying to act all friendly with me. You don't even know a single thing about me apart from my first name," exploded Aiden.

Those words, "Calm down", had clearly broken him deeply and it seemed that Aiden just had to say everything that was on his chest at the moment.

It seemed that the things which he had kept for himself ever since he had arrived here were starting to get too much for him to keep inside.

"Y-you don't know a single about me," said Aiden, as he started to tear up, completely changing up from the anger.

Hearing Aiden breaking down into her arm, Isolde had no idea how to actually react as this was quite a surprising change.

He had gone from extremely angry to extremely fragile which had caused him to actually break down in her arms.

Then, tears continued flowing down Aiden's eyes, making what he was wearing wet because of the amount of tears.

'What's happening to me? W-why am I crying?' thought Aiden, unsure of what was happening.

He wasn't in a state where he was able to actually able to understand his emotions which was why he was having those thoughts.

But, there was also something which caused those thoughts.

Aiden had never cried, not once in his past life or in this life, well... until now it seemed.

In fact, Aiden used to judge those who cried as he didn't understand the need that those people had to do so.

In his mind, all people who cried were simply in search of attention and comfort from others.

Never would he have imagined that he would be someone needing that comfort from others.

"Everything will be fine," finally said Isolde as she patted Aiden's head carefully, making sure that she wouldn't hurt him even a little.

Then, after she said that, Aiden simply dismissed all the thoughts in his mind as he simply broke down, crying.
