Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 2: The Last Stand

"I don't sell out my clients." The Assassin said while shaking his head. Then he gazed at the dying boy, whose entire body was covered in blood. To his surprise, even with his broken limbs and tattered body, he tightly clung onto his pistol as if ready to kill him as soon as he let his guard down.

To be honest, the Assassin was a little impressed by the boy. But he was the unfortunate one who became 'that' person's target. So he had to die.

"It's just business, boy. At least we had a good time before you died." The Assassin said.

Just as he wanted to finish this now, he was surprised to see the gray, blood-dripping eyes of the boy facing him with killing intent.

The Assassin got goosebumps on his body. 'What a fierce boy.'

"Okay, boy, our game ends here." The Assassin said as he plunged his knife into the boy's heart while muttering. "For giving me a good time before dying. And your tenacious will, which I came to respect now. I'll let you die with a complete body."

On his last breath, the boy used all his strength to lift his still-intact hand-

'Is he still trying to struggle?' Assassin thought.

-and showed a middle finger.

The next moment, the light in his gray eyes faded, and the boy died.

"Ha, Hahaha." The assassin laughed hysterically.

"You boy. Interesting, even until the very end."

"Hahaha."

He found today's mission very fun.

"Now let's clean up your body." The Assassin muttered while taking out a vial from his pocket. If someone pours the liquid inside the vial on a dead body. The body will melt until there's nothing left, not even bones or ashes. It's a good way to clear the evidence.

"The hell!!" The Assassin cursed as he found the vial was broken.

"D*mn boy, even after your death, you are giving me trouble." He understood one of the bullets must have hit it.

"Sigh, we can only use the old way now." Muttering at that, the Assassin carried his dead body and threw it inside the river, connecting the outer area of the slums.

"That does it. Be a good fish food, boy." Patting both his hands while watching the drowning body, the Assassin took out a device from his pocket and clicked on the mission's column. "Mission 226 completed - Target 'Luis Suarez' eliminated."

"Boss will reward me handsomely." The Assassin uttered while thinking about the background of the target he killed. He made his escape while erasing his trails. "It would bring a lot of changes in this country once his death is announced. Not like it's my problem."

Deep inside the river.

The blood from Luis' body started affecting the surrounding water, even attracting the carnivorous creatures inside the river.

When those creatures were ready to shred his body to pieces and have their banquet tonight. Something incredulous happened. The dead body of Luis Suarez opened his eyes with a golden glint in them. His finger twitched and his body started emitting sparks. Until the power increased so much that it electrocuted those creatures alive.

In the next moment, the space around Luis' body twisted, and the body vanished from the river as if it had never existed.

The only proof of its existence would have been the roasted creatures in the river and the human blood in that particular odd area.

*Aaahhh*

With a sharp, painful cry, Luis woke up sensing severe pain from the broken parts all over his body.

*Aaah*

*ARGH*

He tried gritting his teeth to endure the pain. But it was too much for him to bear. Tears started coming out of his eyes. He bit his lips to stop himself from crying in pain, but failed miserably.

'Why? Why am I suffering from so much pain? What happened to me? How did I end up this way?'

He thought, while suppressing his painful cries. He felt a deep pain in his chest. His eyes widened as he saw a deep stab wound on his chest.

'What? Was I killed?' His confusion grew and so did his pain.

He saw his leg twisted in the wrong direction. His tears can't stop falling down his eyes.

'Who did this to me?'

'I can't bear so much pain.'

'Someone stop this. Please...'

Those were his desperate screams inside his mind. The pain in his lungs didn't let him speak.

At this moment, as if subconsciously, he felt something changing inside his body and sparks came out all over his body. Those sparks grew stronger and stronger. After some time, his entire body was covered in yellow lightning.

To his horror and relief, the pain dimmed and the wounds in his body started healing by themselves. The deep stab wound on his chest was slowly healing as the lightning-sparked on it intensely. The twisted leg was slowly turning in the right direction.

'What is this? Some superpower? Magic?' He was confused. He didn't know what was happening with his body.

At this moment, he caught sight of something that made him forget all his pain and the miracle that he was witnessing. He saw a mirror on his side, but the reflection on it was an unfamiliar person. Just like him, the boy in the reflection of the mirror was also floating in the air covered in yellow lightning, but the body of that person was someone he didn't know.

'Who is he?'

'Why am I in someone else's body?'

'Is this a dream? If it is, it's very painful.'

At that moment, a sharp pain assaulted him from the back of his head. He felt as if thousands of needles piercing his brain continuously.

*ARGH*

He screamed and went unconscious. That was his limit. He couldn't handle any more of this pain.

But his body continued floating in the air as the lighting kept sparkling around his body. Slowly healing itself.

At this moment, all the memories left in the body of Luis slowly started merging with the intruder's soul. The memories were being played in front of him, a memory of the whole 16 years of the life of 'Luis Suarez', who had an untimely death at the hands of an Assassin.

As such, two days went by as the unconscious Luis, or rather the certain intruder soul who took over his body, received Luis' memories.
