The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

*BEEP*

[You have created a skill.]

That was the message that had just appeared in front of Aiden as he reached the final platform completing the challenge once and for all.

As he had climbed those platforms, his sight which had been completely absent at the start, slowly but surely started getting back which rendered the whole process of completing this second challenge a lot more easier.

'I wonder what it could be?' thought Aiden, as he read that message now that he could see once again.

He had to admit that it was a great feeling to gain his sight back and now that he looked around him, he realized that this whole place was in fact not dark at all, it was the complete opposite as a matter of fact.

Everything was completely sunny just like the rest of this Emberbane Territory, it seemed that it was the enchantment cast by Evelynn that had caused such darkness to appear in both Aiden's and Isolde's eyes.

Of course, Aiden had somewhat known that it wasn't a dark place, however, she thought that there would at least be a shadow or something like that. 

But, that wasn't even close to being the case as Aiden raised his head still with his mask, being blinded by the sun.

Then, Aiden dismissed all those thoughts about the environment, as he put his concentration back on the skill that he had just created, or rather learned by training here.

It was fair to say that he wouldn't have gotten this skill without the help of Melinda or the Emberbane family for that matter.

'Alright, let's see,' thought Aiden as he opened his system, wanting to see the details of that skill.

Then, as he opened it, he got the usual descriptive message about what that skill could actually do.

[Eyes of Truth]

[Rank: Blue]

[Restrictions: To learn or rather create this skill, you must be under a powerful enchantment.]

[Passive Skill]

[Description: This skill will make it possible for the user to see through any kind of illusion without the slightest problem. Well, he won't be able to see through illusions which are created by a grade higher than Blue. However, for the rest of them, it will be like the user can't even notice the difference between reality and the illusionary world.]

Aiden who was reading that description couldn't help but flash a big smile when reading this whole thing, realizing that maybe all those challenges weren't that useless.

First, he had learned how to make a weapon's aura, and now he had learned a skill that basically rendered illusions useless except the truly powerful ones which were, based on the system's word, extremely rare.

"Do you like it?" said a voice that was slowly approaching him by simply flying.

Aiden instantly recognized that feminine voice as he raised his head in response, looking in her direction.

"What are you talking about? The skill or the view?" replied Aiden, as he made sure to admire the beautiful forest that was right under him.

As he did so, he had no choice but to glimpse at Isolde who was still as lost as before.

However, he figured that it would be better for her if she were to figure it out on her own since it would make her understand a lot more things.

Aiden wouldn't be able to help her every step of the way after all.

"What sort of question is that, obviously I'm talking about both," retorqued Evelynn, acting insulted by the sheer stupidity of that question.

Aiden didn't take it wrong as he simply laughed for a little bit, certainly about this whole thing.

He had just gained a skill after all.

"Then, do you like that skill? Was it worth all this trouble?" said Evelynn, as she quickly realized that Aiden hadn't even gone through any sort of trouble figuring out everything in a single day.

Just thinking about that, she had to admit that she was embarrassed.

"Well it looks great from what I'm seeing," replied Aiden.

However, it seemed that Aiden hadn't given Evelynn enough details as she wanted to know more about it.

"What's the name of the skill that you got?" she asked right away seeing that the Reaper didn't seem too keen on telling her.

But, that information was really important because there were multiple ranks to that skill and she wanted to know the one that he had gotten.

'Should I tell her?' thought Aiden, unsure if telling her would result in a bad way toward him.

But, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he realized that there was absolutely no danger in telling her since she was part of the Emberbane Family.

"I got the [Eyes of Truth] skill, was it supposed to be that one?"

Instantly, when hearing the name of that skill Evelynn became silent seemingly thinking about this whole thing.

'I guess the increase in difficulty really helped him get a better one, huh?'

'Usually, they would be getting the skill which is one rank lower, but I guess me strengthening the illusion made a positive impact at the end of the day,' she thought, realizing that it was actually a good thing that she had increased the difficulty.

Well, it was a good thing for Aiden since he had gotten stronger out of it, however, for the girl who was still participating in the challenge at the moment, it probably wasn't the best that's for sure.

"Yes, it was, don't worry about it," replied Evelynn, quickly dismissing his question before talking about a completely different subject.

"Well, now that you finished the second challenge, I won't waste any more of your time and send you toward the third one. You'll see that it probably won't be the easiest for you since you're an assassin."

"In fact, you're friend who's still in the illusion would have probably been able to help you, but well... maybe you'll be able to do it by yourself who knows? You're full of surprises after all," she said, concluding that little speech which made Aiden doubt.
