"Boss said that the Zmanger gang has beyonders from the hunter pathway... they have the strength of a bear and agility of a cat... they also have heightened senses and are experts in traps."
Arthur informed Leon. At that moment they both had an realization.
"Close your mouth and nose-" Arthur's words were cut off as the ground beneath them gave out.
A million thoughts crossed Leon's mind at that moment.
Why did we do this? Why did i agree to this? Why was i so naive? Am I gonna die? I don't want to die!
The wooden boards beneath them broke and the two fell to the first floor. The group of Zmanger gang members took out their gun's almost instantly and pointed them at Leon and Arthur.
"Who are you?!"
Arthur reached into his pocket and took out a vial filled with a black liquid and threw it at the group of men.
...
Five hours earlier. Backlund Bridge.
Simon entered the West Balam Dock, a dock abandoned since 1348. He stepped into one of the buildings and found a person standing in the middle, a woman wearing deep black robes. Her long fingers tapped against a small brown box that she held in one hand. When Simon entered she couldn't help but smile. She watched as he walked over.
They would meet here every Monday and Thursday at different times.
"Eli cooper knows he's being tailed, he will probably have his guard up for a while. Ive done everything you asked of me, teacher. Now, I need the potion formula."
The woman smiled and scratched the box.
"Its here, sequence 7... witch"
Witch? Assassin, instigator and then witch? And why witch specifically? Isn't that referring to a female?
"Are you sure you don't want to join the demoness sect?"
Simon replied with a prayer gesture, tapping his chest four times and drawing a clockwise circle.
"My faith lies with the evernight goddess"
She let out a soft sigh and handed the brown box to Simon.
"By the way, you never told me what eli actually did"
The demoness sect lady shook her head and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Its not something you need to pay attention to, do not involve yourself into the affairs of the demoness sect."
After a little chit-chat Simon left the building and took a carriage back to east borough. Once he got there he walked into a dark alley and opened a door to his right, inside was a tiny elevator that could only fit one person.
The gears began turning and the elevator went down. After 10 seconds it finally opened and Simon stepped out.
Hi's ears were filled with countless murmurs as he began walking through the underground market.
Every drop of an Abyss Demonic Fish Blood. And an Agate Pacock Egg
Those were the main ingredients of the sequence 7 assassin potion.
This ancient underground market used to a sewage system, but now it was a place for people to trade.
One could get lost in the countless tunnels. But Simon had been here before to buy the sequence 8 ingredients.
...
The vial exploded causing a black mist to fill up the whole building. Leon pinched his nose and put his hand over his mouth. The Vial Arthur had was given by Simon.
The gangsters began coughing loudly. But when Leon looked closer he saw a woman standing in the middle. A tall and pretty lady with long chestnut colored hair. the ground beneath her feet began turning into ice and causing the men to slip and fall. She dissapeared in the blink of an eye.
Leon was quick to notice that the front doors were opened at some point. He and Arthur rushed to the box with Arthur managing to grab it with his hand and then the slam the doors open with his shoulder. Leon also saw that one of the men had dropped his revolver, so he swooped in and grabbed it before following arthur to the outside. The Zmanger gang members were still in the back coughing while trying to raise their weapons.
There weren't any carriages out at this time, and there was a whole gang war happening. The only people out were police and criminals. The two ran through the streets and turned into the alley ways.
This was the life of a criminal, being on the run constantly.
BANG BANG!
Shots rang out in the distance where there was fighting. Leon and Arthur kept running until they saw some other Zmanger members walking the streets. They had their hands in their pockets.
Leon kept his gun on the grip, being prepared to aim it and pull the trigger at any moment. He hasn't used a gun before, he only had experience with a knife.
Still, Daniel never found it difficult to kill someone. He had no hesitation. That's why he was able to kill that east borough tiger gang member with ease.
Leon kept his finger on the trigger, watching the Zmanger gang member pass by the alley and only sparing a glance. Once he was gone the two thieves walked out and quickly went into another alley.
BANG!
Arthur was shot in the back out of nowhere, leon quickly turned around and began firing away.
BANG BANG BANG!
He shot haphazardly at the darkness and managed to hit someone or something. He quickly helped Arthur stand up and carried him away. Thanks to the adrenaline pumping through his veins he was stronger the usual
We'll get through this!
BANG!
A bullet struck Leon's shoulder and he let out a scream, he had never felt pain like this before. The man Leon shot in the alley had managed to pull off one last shot. Leon could feel his fractured shoulder blade and he almost gave out to the pain, barely managing to hold on while tears rolled down his cheeks.
Fuck Simon! Why did that bastard send us here! Does he want us to die?! How did he not think through it!
He despised everyone in the world. His gaze lowered to look at the hole in his chest
I thought my new life would be better... but it's...
His vision was blurring, his body moved on instinct. He was trembling, he was feeling betrayed.
I... won't... make... it... I.. will...
Everything went to black. Then in the darkness was a clear, emotionless pair of eyes that stared deep into his soul. They stared for a long time before dissapearing and leaving him alone.
When he opened his eyes he found himself on a bed wearing cotton pajamas. Leon instantly stood up and took in the unfamiliar bedroom. Then he walked closer to the window and opened it.
He was in a completely different place! The sky was clear. The streets clean. But there was no hint of life outside. The tallest building was actually a cathedral. But, in the distance there was a tall mountain maybe about 10 thousand meters tall, its peak was incredibly sharp.
Where am I?
Leon hesitantly approached the mirror on a desk and looked at himself. He still had the same appearance and nothing had changed. But his wound and pain were gone altogether.
There was furniture, but no decorations.
Leon remained in the room for a bit, unsure of whether he should go out. He was more cautious now than ever, so he sat down and began thinking about everything that happened in the past few days.
I was transmigrated into the body of Leon Wright after purchasing an antique teacup. When I transmigrated right Leon was dead. I spent the first day mainly running. Then I tracked down a man named Eli cooper. After that I killed a east borough tiger gang member and threw him at the gangs front door. I traded that revolver with the zmanger gang only to steal it back today.
Nothing really crazy happened, I've just been a normal low-level gangster...
Daniel couldn't help but remember the ads of a game called mafia city and had a light chuckle.
Is this a dream? It has to be...
Knock Knock knock.
His eyes widened as he stared at the bedroom door.
Knock Knock knock.
