Synopsis
Damian Heilheim, once the prodigious heir to a clandestine assassin's guild, was raised in a world where shadows and blades ruled. As one of the elite "golden children" of the notorious association, his prowess in assassination was unparalleled. However, disillusioned by the brutal life of an assassin and yearning for a quieter existence, Damian makes a daring decision: he abandons his deadly legacy and joins the Military Knights under a false identity as a low-ranked magic officer. In a realm where magic intertwines with danger and intrigue, Damian's new life is a far cry from the shadowy world he left behind. By day, he endures the mundane tasks and condescension of his peers, while by night, he secretly utilizes his formidable skills to navigate a web of deceit and peril. His double life is a delicate dance between keeping his past hidden and fulfilling his role as a guardian of the realm. But peace is elusive. When a series of dark events begin to unravel—a mysterious artifact resurfaces, and whispers of an insidious plot grow louder—Damian finds himself at the heart of a brewing storm. His former allies and enemies alike are closing in, threatening to expose his true identity and unravel the fragile new life he’s built.

*BOOM!*

Do you hear that, reader? Ho ho... There will be some actions waiting for us! 

Havoc suddenly slammed the Festival, when two brave thieves tried to act on their own by stealing some of the valuables and goods the merchants had to offer. They move swiftly, mixing their presence with the crowd to avoid getting caught. 

"Haha! We'll be eating a lot tonight brother!" 

"You bet we are, brother!" 

They were about to get away from the scene they just made and ran into a dark alley that went to the other part of the town but suddenly they were stopped by no other than one of the Magic Knights,

standing there in the shadows as if he knew their every move. They stopped on their track, dumbfounded while looking at the figure of the brave Magic knight. As the figure made his way out of the shadows, The thieves were already having their knees weak hoping to not meet one of the captains or first divisions. He walked out of the shadow to reveal himself, messy pitched black hair, menacing eyes, white skin, and the official uniform of the Magic Knight... HE IS...! Rookie, Damian?

"Eh... Wh-What are you guys doing?" His eyes turned to be a little scared, Turns out he's on his night patrol work and has no idea what they're doing in this dark alley even though it's obvious...

... (awkward silence)

"Shit a Magic Knight... Wait a minute... That's a rookie..." Both brothers look at each other and laugh. "HAHAHAHA!"

"God we're saved... now step back rookie..." They smirk as their confidence is back to its peak.

But Damian is a smart guy, with the dedication of a real knight and he will not back off just like that! With every cell of his brain that generates millions of waves within the neurons... He makes his decision...

"Yeah of course... have a good night at the festival, gentlemen" Damian did step back... of course he did... He was sweating like hell...

The two brothers remain conscious of his actions, maybe it's a trick, they slowly walk past him while keeping their eyes on him before sprinting away from the scene. It was an easy escape for them at first. well... since Damian is stupid enough to let them go.

"Well... That was easy isn't brother?" They were giggling to themselves since they got away from getting captured.

*Thud...* another person landed in front of them from the rooftops of the alley

"Paper art: Ice magic, let the floor be ice..." A soft yet strict voice can be heard, a woman with brown hair, beautiful eyelashes, and a toned physique. The floor became slippery and the thieves's feet became frozen...

"Officer Nana at duty... you two are arrested for burglary and theft during the Goods and Glories Gala," she said sternly, and the other officers behind her got the brothers to their knees. They've pursued them since the beginning of the theft, now that are Knights at work.

After the thief brothers are caught, Nana walks to Damian who's just in front of them while he's clapping his hands and a whistle, thinking to himself 'Wow... they're good'. She has her face with a stern expression as she walks and stands in front of him.

"What the hell were you doing again, Damian? This is the third time you encountered a burglary and walked off like nothing has happened..." She sighed and crossed her arms while talking to him, wanting some good explanation.
