The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

As he was headed toward the beautiful girl from the Nightshade family, Emma couldn't help but be confused as to why he was heading.

Was he trying to make enemies or something?

That was what she thought when she noticed the glare that Lucius Nightshade was currently giving Aiden as he continued moving forward.

Not wanting to get in trouble with one of the founding families, Emma quickly caught up to him grabbing his hand.

"Why are you doing this? Look at him, he'll probably do something if you get closer," whispered Emma to Aiden's ear, worried.

After all, if the Nightshade family were to get problems with Aiden then it would as a result affect the whole Everheart Family which wasn't something that Emma liked very much.

They were living in their territory, so they didn't want problems with their "landlord".

Aiden hearing Emma's voice realized once again that he was acting on the impulse of his emotions.

He didn't want to be ruled by his emotions, so he stopped walking forward momentarily, scared that someone was starting to get control over his body.

Right now, it was only his emotions, but what if the old owner of the body were to take over and replace him just like he had replaced him?

Aiden couldn't help but panic at the thought of such a thing happening.

'Why do I even want to go up to her?' thought Aiden, not understanding why he would base his decisions on the emotions he was feeling.

It simply didn't make sense as he had promised himself that he wouldn't be one to do such a thing anymore.

The only way for someone to do irrational actions would be for him the most powerful person in the mind which came back to his initial problem, his lack of power.

Even after his training, he hadn't gone back to the Otherworld, he had gotten increased his stats one bit, this was a big problem, especially in such a tournament where people would have become awakeners for a long time compared to him.

Aiden had the advantage of having a lot of experience and was somewhat special which made him able to compete with most people here.

But how will he compare the elites of this world, he just wasn't sure that he would be able to do so as he would be lacking the stats to do so.

He knew that if they were on the same playing field then this tournament would be nothing more than a stepping stone, but he wasn't.

Seeing Aiden freeze, not moving at all, Emma was even more worried asking herself what was happening to him as she just couldn't understand it.

"Come on, let's go back," she said as she grabbed his hand even harder, pulling him back.

"Sure," said Aiden, as he turned his back and went back a little walking back to the middle of the arena.

The girl, who had red hair, finally looked in his direction as Aiden turned his back.

'Do I know him?' she thought, glancing at his slim and dark figure.

No matter how hard she looked at him she couldn't help but think that this man was someone whom she had seen before, but with Aiden's mask, it was impossible for her to know.

Then, she disregarded those thoughts focusing back on the back of the tournament. She knew that the second round would soon be happening, so she concentrated on recuperating so as to not be extremely tired of the first, one versus one, duel of the tournament.

As minutes passed, more people started appearing in the Arena and all of them were clearly in bad shape, breathing heavily.

Each time a team would appear, Aiden would look at them, thinking that maybe he would be able to see Ava.

He remembered her telling him about this tournament, and that they would see each other again then.

So, where was she?

Then, as teams began to appear one after another, Aiden lost hope that she wasn't part of this tournament or that she had been eliminated before.

"Now, that all the teams have finished their fight. We now have 50 participants left, good job to every single one of them," announced Thorin, still using his mysterious voice while saying that.

"I guess it's time to talk about the rewards for those who are going to be eliminated this round," announced Thorin, finally talking about the rewards that they would be gaining.

"For those who will be losing in this round, you will be able to receive one skill of your choice from a catalogue which you will receive when being eliminated. Please note that this reward will be available to everyone under the Top 50 as the rewards that I mention would addition on top of the later ones," explained the voice.

Aiden was excited as he heard that he was going to be able to choose a skill, and he was even more excited when he heard that all the rewards would be able to stack on top of the others.

What this meant was that the further one would go in the tournament, the more rewards he would be gaining.

"I will only mention this reward for the moment, and I will reveal the one each time we pass a round of fighting," said the mysterious voice.

"Also, I think it's time to have a real Arena for those final rounds," said the voice as one giant stage appeared in the middle of the Arena.

The stage started forming out of nowhere and seemed to be pushing people out of it, or else many would have gotten hurt by the sudden appearance of such a massive stage.

And, as the stage finished forming, four people could be found on it.

Those four people were obviously the four founding families' heads.

When people caught sight of them, cheers resounded louder than ever inside the Arena. The cheers weren't even remotely close to being comparable to before.

Usually, they wouldn't even make an appearance, but there they were on the very stage where Aiden and all the others would be fighting to keep a place in the tournament, trying to win as many rewards as possible.

"What do you say? Does it look great?" said Thorin, on the stage, talking about the gigantic stage which he was currently on.

The stage was so big that it seemed to be at least 500 meters long from each side. Basically, it was a massive square where people would be fighting in.

In the crowd, the loud shouting amplified as everyone seemed to be shouting "YES!" in excitement.

However, Aiden was confused by the small dwarf which he was currently seeing on the stage.

'Wasn't he the one who stopped me when I was visiting the city?' thought Aiden, remembering that the small dwarf had been called Thorin.

Aiden still hadn't heard his name, but the overall appearance of the dwarf clearly with the one he had seen previously.

He had red hair, was short, and had a long beard, simply everything matched with the one he had seen before. However, Aiden didn't conclude anything as many people could look-a-like.

However, if his name was the same then that would be a different matter, as there would be very little chance that the person on the stage would be someone else.

Then, Aiden looked at the other three which were on the stage as he immediately caught sight of Melinda who was also staring at him, smiling just like she previously did.

However, even with her gaze directed toward Aiden's direction, no one seemed to be noticing it, as they were all too engrossed in the fact that they had appeared for the Inter-Family Tournament.

And, Aiden had to say, she looked really good like really good. When he had first appeared, he had thought that Ava was the best-looking woman he had ever seen, however, Melinda was much better than whoever he had set his eyes on.

She just looked incredible, everything about her was simply perfect. Her face, her body, her voice, everything seemed to be fitting.

After glancing at her and being captured by her beautiful smile, he started to look at the other two, one of them was an elf he had long pointy ears on both sides of his head.

Aiden quickly wondered if Emma knew of him, but he didn't ask her as he decided to look at the last person who was currently on the stage.

And then, the anger that he had felt when looking at Lucius started to take over his body once again. However, it wasn't even remotely the same intensity as before.

If the rage that was bubbling inside of him continued, then who knew what he would be doing in the future?

As his breath started to get heavier and heavier, Emma who was right beside him grabbed his hand tenderly.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright," she whispered in his ear in a comforting voice.

She had no idea what was happening to him, but she still wanted to support him.
