I woke up after some time only to realise three of them were staring at me like predators, I am naturally vigilant towards them.

" Oi, wake up. Take this guys belonging too" said the dark haired pale faced guy.

I nodded as I took his equipment. A light but thick and big brown colored armour with a fluffy part inside but hard outside. Some pads for shoulder and knees, a yellow parched book named as misty elephant body, a white coloured new book named as blending and a white colored 3 foot dagger with a wolf on its hilt At the side pocket of armour.

After that our journey began with me on his back since I can't move fast as them, probably the pale faced guy felt like telling me something since he had kicked me so he explained to me about the structure of the society I was in and who they were.

Dark swamp society, that's the name which I heard. I mean who the fuck named this. Coming to the main point, this guy's name is Ahmad khan. The guy with black armour and dark tone is Rhyl meone, a master class fighter. As for the other guy, let's just forget him, he is just a hollow concept class weakling so you don't need to know, probably he will be a cannon fodder.

Going to classes, humans have classified it in parts. Hollow concept, understanding concept, master, grandmaster and finally all for one, divine state. As for martial arts, they have their differences as well but he didn't explain in detail and said, I could buy the book at any place in the swamp region in the west part of Quebec province as he said.

I could feel the gust of wind on my face continuously like a blade but I still opened my face to look where I am. A dark atmosphere probably causes too many trees which block the sun rays and a humid atmosphere. The thing which impresses me though is the fact about how good their eyes are. They are moving really fast, like fast enough for me to feel dizzy.

Finally after moving through more than hundreds of miles and a two and a half hour of travel, I got to a rusty old cavern in the middle of the forest with a drop shaped board on the outside and a rusty door giving creeks of sound by wind.

" Let's wait here for a while, " Ahmad said without looking back while Rhyl had gone inside. After some time, he didn't come back but a young woman with ashy brown hair in curled style came in wearing a short brown single piece cloth with leggings. She looked at Ahmad and nodded, then he left me alone with her and another guy.

" What division are you choosing? " she asked me casually.

" Assassin division " The current only grandmaster in this society was an assassin and so if you are good, you can do tremendous growth in dark swamp society and it's also related to its fact that the strongest technique this society has is misty elephant body, though Ahmad said, it's impossible to use it completely because of its nature.

" Hmm, fine but you need to complete an initial mission to get into organization " After that she explained to me the basic criteria for entering in a dark swamp . There are just two that actually kill someone from here and take its armour and a simple mission.

" Ok...can I get that book which gives basic information and how do you get a mission ? '' I asked, a bit hesitant.

" Ah, yeah. Here it is. And a mission list could be founded inside the tavern. Just ask master maddy, she should be working as a bartender right now and will help you " Seemed like she forgot to give me that, so she gave me a handbook and told me other instructions. After that......both her and other guy goes inside like Ahmad and rhyl

" um..ok " I said quietly.

After I knew, I had to do it. I decided to first check out my things. So I simply sat down alone on the ground.

" First those black lines " I muttered slowly as I tried to summon it and as expected it came.

[ Martial arts status:- NONE

Body status :- Strength:- 6 , Endurance:- 7, Agility :- 8 , defense:- 6 , 5 remaining points too add ]

" Is it about me...these numbers. Strength is more, agility is less. Just like me, I am physically weak but my speed is good. Maybe....." I licked my lips as I tried to add it to a strength, it suddenly increased by 1 but it bringed a lot of pain in my body, my body started shivering, nerves were on my hand and head like a sculpture sculpted them. My head was throbbing like it splitted, and a ping sound was all I could hear before I lost my consciousness. Weird dreams aren't something new for me. Though this time, it was vivid.

Since I was 4 year old, I remember watching a dream where I was a scientist, I was a common guy with extraordinary perseverance, even with a common background. I became a scientist. You see it isn't impossible for a normal person to become, the problem lies in mentality. Where most people choose to work for money in some big organization like flecks cloud restaurant in pebble city ( the town where he lives ), I worked my way through to become a scientist with one aim of researching on a bio organism or possibly non-bio organism to live for a long time and watch the universe. Traveling everywhere, it was a naive dream of a kid to reach stars, I wanted to do it for real. My body suddenly woke me up with pain. Except this time, I remember not just today's dream but all the other dreams combined as a puzzle piece.

When I woke up, I found myself, my entire body was shivering from pain and I was on a soft bed. I just blankly looked at the roof on my head which has cracks showing his old age and thought how Sidney ( His sister ) used to save him from all the pain. After thinking of her, my heart pained as I let out a faint cry. No doubt, I was still a kid at that time who just cried instead of stealing my heart. At that time, I completely ignored the dream.

Suddenly the door opened as a muscular guy walked in, he was handsome , had a body bigger than that bear, except for his weird hairstyle of two braids everything looks ok. He has a kind smile on his face. His hair is completely blonde unlike the ashy blonde I have seen till now in the cathedral and he was wearing a black color upper coat with its frails on the side and formal pants of black color with a big mouth painted on it in red color.

" Are you feeling alright son " He said with a smile as he gave me a glass of water. I nodded as I took it while wiping my tears.

" I am Raj, thank you for your help " I remember losing consciousness in front of a lair of an almost bandit house which has rules saying if they could kill the current armor holder, you become a member. Its not dangerous but downright suicide.

" It's ok...I was supposed to talk to you about your mission " He said with a pure laugh. It wasn't ridiculous, just funny for him maybe.

" You are...." I remember the girl telling the bartender but she clearly told me it was a girl.

" I am Anna Hattaway also known as maddy here....it's nice meeting you " She said with a smile. I too nodded. I now realized that this person is a female bartender which a brown haired girl talked about.

" So what's the mission? " I asked slowly.

" it's a assassination mission is in Marcos province, anoka city. It's one of the biggest provinces in the empire, though Anoka city is a small one in that. It is about the same size as our pebble city of Farukh province. Don't worry since we are at the border of the Farukh province, it would be easy to travel. It's just two cities after if you move in the north east from here....... '' She explained completely. I have the basic knowledge I need, it's not like I couldn't read a book anyway. Sydney used to force me in the past to make me remember despite my antics. Who knows it would be so helpful.

" can I get information about the target " I interrupted as I gave a sigh. She gets too ahead of herself when she talks.

" Oh yeah...here's the dossier " She gave me a small book. It was a yellow colored book sewn with threads and coarse paper and yeah, this roughness is comparatively, in my dreams the paper is generally soft not coarse unlike in my hand.

' Mahela nagel, a businessman of age 58, three sons, two daughters who are already married from the main wife. He has many concubines, his main wife is dead. The sons and daughters from his concubines numbers in tens though their status is 2nd class compared to his 3 sons from his main wife.....' Just so you know, the entire purpose of concubines was just to produce a child to become supporters for main family kids. In this way there was a long chain of his family and like mercenary groups living in mansions for money.

The combined might of mercenary is terrifying, I know that for sure. According to dossier, their combined strength will probably match a master means they could defeat if not kill a master class.

I actually started thinking, isn't this too hard. Though I will complete it if I want to get in for Information but a master class.

" Actually, this is a mission for understanding class, not hollow class. Just it has a catch. " She smiled with a wink.

" please "

" The one issued this is a friend of master Wolfe. If not for his injuries which will probably take some years to heal. He would have already stormed into the mansion and killed them. "

" Oh, master Wolfe, is he a master class warrior " I asked hesitantly.

" You really don't have much knowledge. Of Course, only master class are qualified for master title, supreme masters are qualified by only by grandmasters and lord title is for divine state beings. " She said with a helpless smile with a bit of gentleness.

" I see so what was the trick "

" The issued guy since he is a friend. Master Wolfe said he will give a reward immediately from his sides too. Whatever, as long it isn't totally nonsensical huge "

" I see " I started thinking if this is a good idea to do it. Suddenly I remembered something as I made up my mind.

" I will do it "

" Ok...Tell me your name " she said as she took the diary matching it with serial no if the book

" I am Raj, " I said unconsciously actually. I didn't have a name to be honest and nicknames only like Ruane. Everyone calls me that. Just usually Sydney will say her name as baby Ruane ( Not romantically but for a kid ), isle started it so she was just copying. This was actually the name of the person in the dreams.

" ok...Raj. On the table there are your essentials. Hope you survive " She said pointing at a bag with a kind voice.

" Ok..." I knew what I had to do and quickly finish the mission.

I departed a day later after all of this.
