Everything has a beginning and like all things in existence, so does the story of the greatest " error " of the universe's will since it's conception, the birth of a ' fateless child'
To clarify, all beings in this universe are born with a certain 'fate' or certain actions to carryout for the proper systematic functioning of the universe as we know it . it is to the point that even the rivers , mountains, stones and even a speck of sand had it's own fate and yet here was a child born without a fate .
If the universe was like a computer program then this would be seen as a bug in the system and as such the universe went about removing said bug by trying to terminate the pregnancy as the mother was eight months into the pregnancy yet even with this the woman without a midwife and with the help of a little girl alone , gave birth to the child in exchange for her life and just as she held her son for the first and last time, she named him, " Rosa , my son's name shall Azriel for his birth is a miracle " and so she breathed her last .
Seeing as it couldn't kill him directly, the universe settled for isolating the child by getting rid of any support system around him reasoning that the child would die on it's own without help from anyone and so it manipulated events in a way such that his first caregiver was kidnapped two years into taking care of him and sold into slavery .at that point all he could was beg on the streets to survive . any who helped him would have an irrational hatred towards him with some beating him while others simply ignored him and for the rare few who tried to help him , they met with freakishly weird accidents that had them leave the boy uncared for .from fires to plagues the young child experienced it all silently till the age of five when he was captured by the up and coming assassination organization ' black crows' and had his mana stimulated.

Alex a self proclaimed 'average physicist felt as though the weight of the world had been removed from his shoulder as memories started to merge and that feeling relief and comfort disapeared giving way to a feeling of anger , desolation and despair. This all went on for a full two minutes as the test stone turned dark and a slight commotion was heard as the dark element though rare was slightly looked down on in the world of mages yet the highly desired by underworld forces as they make the best assassins.
Calming down he stepped down from the stage and recalled his current situation.
He was working on an experiment with a black hole and an accident occurred that probably led to his death and reincarnation into this world.
It also seems that he only received his memories after five years thanks to the elemental test that stimulated his soul.
It also seemed that some entity truly hated him as it deligently harassed him for a full five years though it seemed that its influence was also gradually reducing or it's interest was waning either way good for me .
Just as he was deep in thought a whip came hurling through the air and snapping in front of him.
Those on the left to the training field and those to the right head for the mines. remember , only those who contribute get to eat and only those who are useful get to live.
And those words signalled the beginning of my hell for the next fifteen years.
A sorts of training was carried out to create the perfect assassin , with each day grinding away most of the humanity in the kids.
Methods such as starvation , propaganda, use of family members ,isolation and competition as for any fool who tried to escape, they were into a pit containing a vicious and hungry magical beast as the rest of us were made to watch them torn apart.
After a year of training ,we were all given a task to kill a few common thugs that barely made it to the novice stage of the apprentice mage , it on this mission that I made my first friend.
