The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



There were shops just like Avaloria Empire but the things they were selling were completely different.

Aiden had a quick look around and notice that potions were the main thing being bought from those shops.

But there wasn't only one type of potion, they had an agility potion, a strength potion, a longevity potion, and a health potion.

'Is that the reason, everyone here looks so young,' thought Aiden, picking up a longevity potion from a shop.

He hadn't seen a single old person in this place, they all looked young. 

'But if they can live longer and have all these advantages that the Avaloria Empire doesn't have, how are they not winning the war?' thought Aiden as he thought that the situation between the two empires made no sense.

The most probable cause for them not winning yet would be their population which was a lot smaller as the streets of the city weren't even full.

In Avaloria, the streets were always full which was a big contrast and disadvantage to them.

However, the Upsilon Empire was a lot more developed as he noticed that buildings were well-built and modern which was a really weird contrast from the Avaloria Empire.

'Maybe I could try one of their potions to see their effects,' thought Aiden as he was now tempted into stealing one as he didn't have any money in this world.

When the vendor of the potion shop looked away, Aiden using his agility quickly put a red potion in his pocket. 

It was a strength potion as he didn't have the choice to choose which one he wanted the most.

Then, he whistled away as if he had done nothing wrong with the potion in his pocket.

'Maybe this will be like a worst version of the Elixir that Mia was talking about before I left.'

He didn't ask himself any questions and started drinking it. 

He was pretty sure it was safe as the potion was sold in the middle of the streets.

*Beep*

[You are drinking a strength potion.]

*Beep*

[You have obtained an extra stat point in strength.]

As he started reading those two messages sent from the system.

He was shocked.

'Didn't I need to level up to get access to stats?' thought Aiden, not understanding how he had gotten stronger from drinking a small red vial.

But then, a realization hit him.

'Wait does that mean that if I drink a bunch of those potions, I'll be invincible.'

Then he asked himself if he should all those potions, but he decided against it as he didn't want to be noticed stealing all the potions of the merchant. 

Instead, he decided to try to find an alternative to his solution.

'I should probably try to find the creator of this potion, he could even be the creator of the Elixir. This man should be well guarded as he is an incredible resource to the Empire.'

The thought that the merchant that was in charge of the shop would be the creator didn't even cross his mind as he simply looked stupid. There was no chance in hell that someone who created those potions would be there, selling them.

The man would be creating those potions and not selling them was what Aiden thought, which was smart of him as there were good chances that he was right.

Then, Aiden started looking around himself, thinking about the place he should visit first as he wanted to find the man as fast as possible.

There might even be the possibility that the man would be protected by one of the generals of the Empire.

'What would be the place where the most powerful men of the Empire would gather?' he asked himself, trying to figure out where the generals of the army would be.

At first, he thought about asking the people on the streets but he decided against it not wanting to be noticed by the inhabitants asking weird questions that probably anyone would know.

So, he decided that his best choice would be to go toward the city's biggest building because usually the strongest buildings would always be owned by the strongest.

So, when he saw what seemed to be a castle, he directly went in that direction. 

But he wasn't running or anything, he kept walking not wanting to be noticed.

As he got closer to the castle, he realized that it was surrounded by what seemed to be a fence that was going all around the castle not letting anyone in without permission.

He also saw that two guards were in front of the castle seemingly guarding it against unknown visitors just like Aiden.

The guards kept looking left and right, ensuring no one would invade the castle.

'Who could be living in this place?' thought Aiden, deciding that he needed to enter this manor.

But a small fence like this wasn't anything that could stop Aiden, he moved swiftly upward the fence not being noticed by the guards.

It was s small fence for Aiden but the fence was still a few meters in height, which wouldn't make it easy to climb for anyone.

As he arrived at the top of the fence but he couldn't take a lot of time as he needed to act fast as the guards were about to turn their heads and caught sight of him.

He jumped from the fence onto the tree that was right in front of him, which made him able to hide from the eyes of the guards.

"Did you hear something?" asked one of the guards.

"No, why did you?"

The two guards hadn't heard Aiden climb the fence as he was silent, not making a single noise.

"I don't know I just have a feeling that someone was trying to infiltrate this place,' said the guard talking about the castle.

"Ahahaha, who would be stupid enough to do that," laughed the guard hearing what the other had said.

After all, who would be stupid enough to infiltrate a castle owned by the emperor?
