In a hidden city in the Grand Canyon made specifically for the Assassin's to live in. Roland is taking a walk by the Colorado river feeling exhausted. He had just come back from an ambush by the Templars. He was supposed to be killing a person who tricked people into giving them blood for their cloud network. The cloud network is used to hold all the genetic memories of the people who donate blood. If the Templars get the observatory then they would be able to spy from the eyes and ears of everyone they have collected the blood from.

Roland has naturally black hair and is about 5"6. He is about 32 years old, single, and no kids. As a hobby he plays a acoustic guitar and sings sometimes. His eyes have a pale gray color and he as an handsome face with a slim but muscular body. Sometimes he could be mistaken as a woman due to his body size and type. He also, along with all the other assassin's knows how to create and repair his equipment. Lastly he has been working as an assassin since he was 16 and was training for it way before.

"Ha..." 'what is the point anymore. This job is just becoming harder and harder. We are fighting a losing battle for crying out loud.'

"Get your head out of the gutter man," Roland said to himself.

'I knew this was going to be a tough job when I was sworn in. I just wish that there was a way for us to stop pointlessly losing so many lives. Many of our brothers and sisters have lost their lives without accomplishing something useful to the order. I am lucky that I only came back with a few scratches and a failed kill, compared to losing my life'.

So Roland was just wondering about what is to come. With Juno free, the Templars practically have the world under their thumb, not to mention the Assassin's being hunted into extinction. As he was thinking about these depressing thoughts when his best friend Alfred, who also recently became a Mentor of the came up to him.

Alfred has been Roland’s friend since they were kids and they trained together the whole time. There has been a small rivalry between them as there weren't that many kids around. Alfred is also about 35 years old, married to a woman named Jane who is also an assassin, and has twins 1 boy and 1 girl who are both 13.

"Hey Rol!!" exclaimed Alfred,"Anything going on my friend?"

"Nothing, just thinking about the good fight and what is going to be happening in the future."

"Don't be depressed friend. Just think about all the good we are doing in the world out there. Even though we are losing the fight right now we are still not just giving up and dying."

"I know, it is just hard not to get depressed after failing another mission that important. Sorry it is just that I am worrying about how we will have to raise our kids in the future."

"Relax man, you know that my kids are working hard and training, but you still need to find yourself a woman. Also you know that my girl still has that crush on you," Alfred said as he jabbed my side,"But seriously Rol, you know that this is a fight that is likely going to keep going on long after we are dead."

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

"I know that. It is just sometimes I feel tired and begin questioning myself, but lets stop talking about me do you need something?"

"As a matter of fact I came to tell you that you have a new assignment. You are to play Royal Road and prevent the Templars from gaining control of that world."

Roland looked at him like he was crazy,"You actually think the Templars are going to bother trying to gain control of that world when they are busy in this one? I hate to break it to you but it is mad to think they would try to gain control of it."

Alfred looked disappointed for a bit,"It seems you don't understand how serious this is. Abstergo along with their Entertainment group secretly funded Unicorn to create Royal Road. We think their goal is to try to put their beliefs into practice into the game, where even killing is perfectly legal. We have also discovered that Juno has been messing around with the game, so it is likely that there will be first civilization items in it. We need you to make sure that the North continent is protected against them. The North is, at the moment, the one place that the Templars won't start at due to the cold weather, so we need you to start there, establish a base and prepare to get others adjusted to Royal Road and train them in what they need to know. So I am instating you as the Mentor of the Northern Continent."

I looked at him shocked by this news,"But what about the work we are doing here and now? You know we have a problem with them searching for the Observatory, even though it can only look through one person at a time. It is way too dangerous to leave it be."

"I know that Rol, but this is also necessary for the fact that it is another world for the Templars and Juno to do as they please to another world. Luckily Unicorn made it so the A.I. has free reign over the game so the Juno and the Templars are unable to influence it in any way. So don't question me, we already installed the game in your house by your bed. We also upgraded it so that it sends out an electronic pulse to work your muscles as you play the game so that they don't degrade. You don't need to worry about them tracking it because we have set up a system to make it lock onto random wireless networks and make it unable to be tracked."

"Alright, even though I don't think it is important, you do. So tell me where should I start in this Northern continent?"

"I don't know, why don't you look at some maps and decide a good starting place alright. I need to go now. Do try to have fun with your game."

Roland and Alfred decide to split up now. Alfred said he is going back to his house. While Roland decides to go back home.

'I don't know why but I feel exhausted and I think I might as well begin looking up a good starting city before I hit the hay.'
