Dawn of the Assassin
Born as a slave, working as a farmer, one child lived in a small village controlled by a gang of bandits. Hope and morale for those living in the village was minuscule at best.
Everything soon changed on the day a group, known as A Thousand Knives, came to the village. All the bandits that controlled the village were swiftly killed in one night. The child aspired to be just like them, and asked to join their group. They rejected him for coming from such a poor and common style of living. The child remained determined; he trained vigorously for many years, knowing that he could later prove himself.
The day soon came where he met the clan he so wanted to join, in a neighboring village. The child lied about who he was and where he lived so that he may be initiated into the clan. From the moment he joined their group, he has gone on various missions of killing and bloodshed. He quickly climbed the ranks and became reknown as A Thousand Knives's top Assassin.
"So... Where is our next mission located?"
"Ku Uren Village"
"Have bandits started to attack them again?"
"No, they have been behind on payments for far too long now. We will eradicate their village and make an example out of them."
"What?! You can't attack that village- that is where my family lives!"
"Hmm... Why is your family, a family that comes from such a valued place, such as the Rouge Kingdom, living in the slums? Could it be...?
...you lied to us, am I correct?"
The Assassin sits still as if he heard nothing.
"The traitor must be sentenced to death! Kill him!"
All the members of the clan suddenly turned on the Assassin and stabbed him viciously. The leader of the clan stepped up to the Assassin.
"Everyone in your village will burn to death tonight."
The leader stabbed the Assassin's right eye before kicking him off a large cliff overlooking an ocean.
The Assassin had barely escaped with his life. Months later, the Assassin made a huge recovery and thought deeply about revenge. One by one, members of A Thousand Knives were slain.
The Assassin now had his revenge.
He pushed the lifeless corpse of the clan leader off the very same cliff the Assassin was thrown off of.
With a scythe in one hand and a severed head in the other, he stood at the perch of the cliff and stared off into the sea.
"That island just in front of me used to be a part of this land. I heard that it brought immense power to all those around it. No doubt, there will be others who want this power. Worthy opponents. I will just have to dispose of them, then I will be the greatest killer in the world."
