BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29 Start Of The Second Trial
[Welcome to the waiting room]
He was now back in the white room he had first appeared in where he had met his teammates for the trial ahead of him but this time there was no one with him. He was alone and he would try to complete it without the help of anyone.
Before he left, he heard Maelis say to him that he would incarnate the role of someone in the Otherworld, this information actually put his mind at ease since he even had experience in that domain and was now used to it.
[Since you have been summoned to unlock access to the assassin-type skills, the trial you will go under will be similar.]
[You will be summoned into the second trial in 30 seconds because you have no teammates to discuss with and present yourself to.]
[A description of where and who you are, will appear at the start of the trial.]
Seeing this message from the system, he started getting excited at the prospect of doing his second trial which was supposed to be harder. He wanted to see what the trial he would have to accomplish would be.
30 seconds later, he was being summoned.
[You are summoned into the second trial.]
[Trial Description: You are being transported into a world that is at war, two emperors are fighting against each other because they want more power and are greedy for it. In this world, you take over the body of the king\'s assassin of the Avaloria Empire, your role will be to listen to the king\'s commands and complete them perfectly. If you fail to do so, you will fail the trial. Keep in mind that you won\'t take over his body and simply replace him, but the inhabitants will not be able to notice it.]
[Reward: Gain access to learning skill books related to the class <Assassin>.]
[Failure: Death]
"Wait, what is this?" said Aiden looking at what would happen if he failed the trial, "It\'s written death as in real death, I won\'t have another chance. Didn\'t they tell me that you couldn\'t actually die in these trials?" said Aiden, talking about his first teammates who had told him that information.
Aiden was shocked to learn that he could die if he failed the trial, but he didn\'t have much time to think about it, as he started appearing in a room where a meeting seemed to occur.
Inside the room was a big round table with twelve people around it excluding Aiden, it looked like they were all the generals of the troops or important persons at least.
The chairs that they sat on were different than the chair which was on the end of the table, that chair couldn\'t be called a chair, it would be better to call it a throne. A throne were a king would be sitting.
"As you all know we are currently in a war against the Epsilon Empire, and we need to do something to try and get the advantage over them," said the person who was most likely the king because he had a crown on his head.
Suddenly pointing toward Aiden\'s direction, the king continued speaking, "Aiden as you all know is the best assassin of our empire and I want to trust him and give him a really important mission. I will tell him in private because we never know if the information might leak."
Some complaints could be heard around the table, saying that they were loyal to the king and all of that, but it didn\'t change what the king had in mind.
"You may leave, Aiden will stay and I will tell him about it," said the king finishing his talk, and commanding Aiden to stay.
It seemed Aiden arrived in the middle of a conversation and had no idea of what they were discussing apart from the war with the Upsilon Empire which was information he already knew about since the system had told him about it.
"What is the special mission you have for me, my king," said Aiden with as much respect as possible, not wanting trouble with the king or else he would surely die.
"Why are you calling me like that, didn\'t I tell you to call me Victor when we\'re alone?" answered the king in a lighthearted tone.
He didn\'t know how to respond to that because he simply didn\'t know that they were close.
"Victor?, yeah right, sorry it\'s just a habit. Well, what is the special mission, Victor?" asked Aiden.
"That\'s better, aha," said Victor as he patted the shoulders of Aiden.
Seeing how the king treated Aiden, they seemed to have a good relationship from the point of view of Aiden, he couldn\'t imagine doing this with anyone.
"So, the special I have for you isn\'t an easy one but I believe that with your talent you will be able to succeed.
Also, hearing the word special mission coming out of the mouth of the king, Aiden was all ears and wanted to learn more about the trial he would have to do because all the information he got from the system was to listen to the king\'s orders.
"What is it going to be?" asked Aiden.
"The special mission I have for you is to assassinate the four generals of the enemy\'s troops by infiltrating them."
Hearing the difficulty of the mission the king had for Aiden kind of shocked him, but he still remained stoic not showing a reaction befitting of being an assassin. He was used to getting hard missions and always completed them in his life and he would make sure to do the same again in this trial.
[Trial objective: Kill all the generals from the Upsilon Empire. (0/4)]
[The boss of this trial will be revealed when completing the <Trial Objective>. For your information, it is not necessarily a monster, it can be a human.]
"How much time do I have?" asked Aiden, wanting to know if he needed to rush into the enemy camp.
"No, I will give you the entire week, and during our surprise attack, you will infiltrate the enemy camp."
"So, the goal of the surprise attack is for me to infiltrate the enemy camp," asked Aiden to make sure about the king\'s plan.
Victor once again confirmed it and then dismissed Aiden.
