*Everyone muttering*
- Just what the hell is going on?!
Where are we-?!
What kind of joke is this?!!!
(Among the confused complainers, the old man sends an order, echoing throughout the space)
- Silence!
(No one dare question his order. His order seemed like it's from heaven itself, added with an ominous aura, it sent a sense of surrender throughout everyone. Upon seeing a woman floating on thin air and an old man standing on an invisible platform, everyone is not only confused but also scared. Most of them being saved from a moment like suicide, it's a lot for them to take)
*The woman speaks in an ethereal voice*
- Well, my sweeties...To clear your confusion, All of you are victims of suicide in one way or another, right?
Aiden (thinking) - Then, why the hell am I here?!
*The woman looks eye to eye with Aiden*
Aiden (thinking) - Coincidences can be freaky huh? Or can she read my mind or something?...Is this supposed to be some ceremony to heaven or something?
*Removing her gaze she continues*
- All of you humans have regretted your decision in your last moments. Therefore, all of you have been summoned for a second chance in life!
*Everyone starts muttering again*
- Second chance?
Is she a goddess?!
For real?!
*The goddess smiles a little*
- Yes, it's just as you have guessed. You could say I am a goddess. I have blessed you all with a new life. All your life, you guys have suffered in pain, and sorrow. We want your life to be the opposite this time. A dream world of magic, a world where you can be the protagonist!
Aiden (thinking)- A dream world of...magic? How come-? That's not possible. What is this? Some isekai, or reincarnation stuff?
*The goddess continues*
- You can achieve everything you wanted in your last life. You can continue your knowledge, experience and memories into the new world, with a new identity! With many blessings, you can be whatever you want!
*Everyone muttering*
- But what's the point of all this?
What if it's all just a facade?!
We can't trust anyone!
*The goddess smiles again*
- Seems unbelievable right? Understandable, since it is not as easy as it seems.
(Echoes of confusion spreads throughout the crowd)
*The woman says*
- It's a second life we are talking about. A miracle of one in a quadrillion maybe. It depends on you...on who can truly live upto my blessings! Those who give true efforts, and their regrets are true, those who have at least stayed true to themselves till the end, deserve to be the chosen one.
*Everyone's muttering*
- I knew something was up!
That was too good to be true...
But I did regret taking my own life...
*The woman continues her speech*
- Alright, Let me cut to the chase.
*She claps her hand once, immediately taking attention of all the people present. It's like she did some magic with the clap*
As I said in the beginning. Welcome to the trial of Assassins, According to all of your last lives, All of the 500 people here are familiar to combat in some way. Whether someone is a militant, or an assassin, or an Olympic medalist, doesn't matter. But everyone here has the potential...
To be the perfect assassin.
Those who have the real determination, willpower, and the sharp mind needed to be an assassin, will survive till the end. After all...
It always was the survival of the fittest.
(An invisible pedestal appears in front of everyone, along with two magical spheres. One green, another red)
*Among the crowd, one man spoke up*
- How will it work? What's the trial?
*Smiling at him, the woman replied*
- I like the enthusiasm, well. It's simple. You all will be transported to a box world. It's limited. It's a huge expanse but still limited. Surrounded by walls all around it.
500 of you will fight to death.
Whether you want to work as a team or solo doesn't matter. What matters, is you have 30 days. The last man standing survives. By the end of the 30 days, the world will shrink to only 1 meter. And yeah, if your whole body is succumbed by the world endings, you will be immediately evaporated.
*Thinking about the brutality of the situation everyone starts getting scared*
Aiden- Kill... Again? For what...? Myself? For my own survival...no...
*The goddess breaks the chaos by speaking in an enchanting way yet again*
- Well? Here are some exciting news for you!
Among us, we have The world's best
assassin!
Aiden- Oh wow. who's tha-
(The goddess looks straight at Aiden with a vicious smile, sending chills down his spine. He has never seen anything like that. So scary, it might be the most frightening thing in existence, yet it attracts. Aiden feels an attraction. What is it- what's this feeling? An intoxication through fear...)
Aiden- *As soon as she takes her gaze away, reality hits him again, he realised*
No! My identi- oh?
*Everyone's muttering*
- Who is it?!
Is it him?
No! It might be him!
Aiden (thinking)- But the goddess straight looked at me like that- no one else saw it?...
Well good for me-
*The goddess continues*
- Also the Olympic gold medalist of archery this year,
and many more.
*The crowd says*
- No way!!
That Russian guy?
Nikolai Ibrahimovic?!
*The goddess continues*
- Though you might be wondering, why I revealed their presence, it's to make you aware, that this wouldn't be so easy. So be prepared. And another thing. These special people will have a bounty on their head. Their location will be revealed after each 2 days for 1 minute. Keep your eyes out, or you will miss it hon'!
*Another man speaks up*
- What if we don't wanna do this?
*The goddess looks at him in disappointment*
- Oh. Well, there will be other ways for those people! Now people who absolutely decided they don't want to participate shouldn't be forced now, right?
Aiden- Why...? Why would I kill again...? For my own sake...? All these years, I killed mainly for revenge and revenge only...but, this chance might never come- I did regret dying last time- although I didn't die...I deserve to die...I don't deserve to-
*The goddess speaks in a rather loud voice*
- Let me take care of those people first, 3, 2, 1!
(The "goddess" snaps her fingers, as almost 200 people's head explodes. In a pool of blood people start screaming in fear as the goddess says in a seductive voice)
-Now the sweeties who are still in dillema whether they want to do this or not...have you decided? If yes, touch the green sphere in front of you- if not then...
(Aiden's vision starts going hazy in the heavy disturbing nature of the situation. His mental health is in utter decline right now)
Aiden- Why didn't I die...I mean I was still confused not fully sure- but what the hell-?!
*Aiden notices that the other people touch the green sphere as if they are being controlled by the goddess after her bloody way of manipulation. She is the same monster his father was. Before he could react a person beside him, not much older than him, holds Aiden's hand and makes him touch the green sphere*
Aiden- What-? why...?
Unknown person- Well...I thought you looked like you were in pain...and all this is happening, I can understand...
Aiden (thinking)- How the hell is this guy so calm... what's wrong-
Unknown person- I think you deserve a second chance.
(Aiden's shock breaks upon his words)
Aiden- Huh?
Unknown person- Yeah! I think eyes don't lie, and your eyes...they are screaming for survival...I have never seen eyes so full of life before!
Aiden- Oh...
(Thinking)- He...might be right...He reminds me...of what mom told me...
(In a flashback of his childhood moment, he remembers his mom telling him. It's a moment of crisis. There is rampant knocking on the door and screaming of pain outside, while the little Aiden can only focus on his mom close to his face. "Listen Aiden, You must live, if not for yourself, you must live to carry on our memories. Fight for yourself Aiden! Fight for your life. Prove that eyes don't lie. Your eyes are meaning of life...they brim of life")
Kyota- My name is kyota, nice to meet you! I know both of us won't survive. It's either you or me, or none of us!
*He says in a laughing manner*
Aiden (thinking) - No... it's you who is strong kyota...you deserve a second life...not me. You brim of life... truly.
Aiden- You're right. I should give this last time a try. Nice to meet you, my name is Aiden.
And thanks.
*Aiden shakes his hand*
Everyone needs an eye opener sometimes.
