Second Life Of An Assassin And Become A Hero In Parallel World

The room is illuminated by a magic lamp so I can see clearly in the night. There is a window too in my room. In my opinion, this room looks like a deluxe room in the 5-stars hotel. I locked the door to prevent someone enters my room.

I sit on the edge of the bed to relax my body. The bed is very comfortable, as expected from the 5-stars deluxe room. The linen is very smooth and has a pleasant smell.

The room is very clean even I can't see a single speck of dust on the dressing table, window frame or on the carpet. Maybe the store's employees have a duty to clean this house too.

That's why Sam trusts them so much.

Make a sense.

There is a large wardrobe in this room made of fine wood. Most of the wooden furniture here has a pleasant smell, which makes me relaxed. Just how much the cost to buy that stuff?

Lady Sophia is very, very rich. I am quite jealous though.

There is a dressing table too with a mirror. Above the table, there are a few bottles of liquid. In other words cosmetics and some extra stuff like perfume, hair wax.

I quite familiar with that stuff because this boy has stayed with Noble before.

There is an elliptical full-body mirror beside the dressing table.

Finally, I can see my face. I raise my body from the bed and heading to the mirror. I standing in front of the mirror and shocked by my reflection mirror.

My face looks similar to "I" on Earth.

Hahaha...

This boy is my twin. I ever heard about the existence of our twin on Parallel World, but I never expect to meet the real one. My hair color is black with a quite nice-looking face. The difference is...

I cancel the transformation by covering my left eye. After that, I open my eyes and I can see my heterochromatic eyes. My right eye is scarlet, but my left eye is gold-like color shining luminously.

This isn't a simple heterochromia. There's no way an eye can shine like this. But even I can see my left eye shining, I don't feel any discomfort on my vision. That was a huge relief.

If I see someone with eyes glowing like this, maybe I would be scared too.

But this boy is my twin huh?

That's why 'Sacrifice' skill can pull my soul. It's said to find a soul with the highest similarity.

But Parallel World?

This world resemblance the Earth too even with few differences like monsters and magic. But the landscape is similar.

Not to mention the Hero has come to this world too. Maybe a portal can be opened between these 2 worlds.

If the portal opening from this world, that will be via Summoning Magic.

But on Earth, the scientist can't open the portal to travel between the worlds yet.

Could I meet my friend's twin here too?

Nah, It's impossible to meet them in this vast world. Not to mention, there aren't airplane, trains, or automotive vehicles here. That will take a lot of time to explore this world.

Or are my friend's twin even exist in the first place?

So should I assume, this world has different time flows with Earth?

In this world, I am 9 years old, while on Earth I was 14 years old.

Back to this 'Demon Lord' eye. I really curious why my left eye shining like this. Even though it looks like a normal eye except this 'shining' part.

Haaaah.

At first, I thought I come closer to solve my mystery but in the end, I still have a long way to go.

I use transformation and change my left eye color to match my right eye and inspect the room once again.

The wardrobe is filled with various fancy clothing for different purposes like pajamas, suits, everyday wear, but they weren't on with my size though because they're a.d.u.l.ts-size clothes.

I can't see the view outside the window because it's already dark. I close the curtain on the window because I don't want someone peeking me. Am I being too self-conscious?

Being too self-conscious is bad?

Of course, that's true, but I have a special circ.u.mstance, and I need to think about any bad possibility that would happen.

Then why I don't close it when I want see my heterochromatic eyes?

That because the mirror is opposite the window, So if someone peeks me, they can only see my back.

I have done inspected the room and found nothing strange. After seeing the refrigerator, maybe there are CCTV or crazy stuff like video recorders too, but fortunately, I don't find anything like that.

Ahh, I want to take a bath but Sam doesn't tell me where to go. I leave my room and go to Sam's room.

Wait...

Isn't this a good chance to find out what they planning on me?

If they found me wandering the house, I can say I want to ask Sam where the place to take a bath.

Perfect.

I walk very carefully to make no sound. Luckily the floor made by marbles and doesn't make a creaking sound like a wooden floor.

After I arrived near Sam's room, I activated my buff to enhance my hearings.

The door is quite thick made by wood and I can hear the voice clearly rather than place my ear on the wall. But I can't hear anything from behind the door

Sam wasn't in his room and that means he was in Lady Sophia's room.

I stand in front of the door of Lady Sophia's room and try to concentrate on my ear to hear the conversation.

"Lady Sophia, what do you think about him?"

"He is strong, smart and very sharp too. He seems to calculate anything before making a decision."

Nice, I can hear them clearly.

"Yeah, I feel he was hiding something from us every time. Should we inspect his room now?"

"Don't do that Sam. He was our trump card to deal with David."

"But his plan still vague. His friend still doesn't reply to his letter. There's a chance he deceiving and take advantage of us."

"But my gift never lied to me, Sam. You know it very well isn't it?"

Ohh, so her gift was the main reason why she trusts me so much.

"But still...."

"What do you think about his background Sam?"

"I think he was a noble from somewhere, or a fallen noble. He has rare items like katana and storage pouch, plus he is smart and good-looking too. But I still feel something off."

"What is that?"

"Lady Sophia, back on we make a camp near the river, He wakes up earlier than me. Noble won't wake up earlier than their servant isn't it?"

Ara...

I make a mistake here huh...

That was my habit so It can't be helped.

"Maybe he is used to wake up early in the morning because he travels alone Sam."

"Besides that, he doesn't know about the magic stove. I think all noble at least have a magic stove, and yet he doesn't know how to use it."

What?!

Ugggh, I made a serious blunder here.

In this boy's memories, I never see the magic stove that's why I don't know it. He never comes to the kitchen after all.

But I prove my cooking skills when making dinner. Now I can't tell them that 'I rarely come to the kitchen, so I don't know those magic stove.'

If I said that, they will ask me how can I make the sandwiches if I rarely come into the kitchen.

I can tell them, I learn cooking during my journey, but I don't have cooking utensils in my storage pouch.

And if they ask me to show my cooking utensils, I will be doomed for sure. I need to learn from these mistakes

"I see."

"And the most shocking news is he doesn't know much about the Hero stories. If he was a noble, at least he can afford to read books about the Hero Tales. Even a commoner knows the simple story of the Heroes and his companion isn't it?"

"What?! He even doesn't know about Hero Tales?"

"Yeah, I confirm it when we at the kitchen. He doesn't know who invent magic tools."

That wasn't my fault you know?!!

I can't remember anything about Hero stuff.

"He is very mysterious isn't it~"

"My Lady what will you do?"

"I don't really care about his background. He seems like an honest person for me. He only hides something because he doesn't want his secret revealed. I think he doesn't have any ulterior motives. He even very serious to investigate David isn't it?"

It seems Lady Sophia is always observing me even she rarely joins the conversation.

"I even more curious about his friend in the Capital. You know David Wardenia reputation, isn't it?

"Yeah, he famous being a smuggler among the noble and even His Majesty know it. But they can't do anything because David never leaves any evidences. That makes his reputation is very complicated."

"Exactly, who can handle a big Fish like David Wardenia that even His Majesty can't arrest him,Sam?"

"Yeah, I've been wondering that too, Lady Sophia."

"Fufufu, he is very interesting Sam. I will make him become my subordinate without fail."

They are very sharps huh.

But Sophia wants to make me become her subordinate?

I think that is the best offer for me.

I can get money, and place to stay. I don't like to sleep outside for a long time you know..

"Luckily the door is very thick, so we can talk easily without being eavesdropped."

"I agree with my Lady."

But I can hear you though...

"Sam, please check Vin in his room. I don't want him feels uncomfortable to stay here."

"Certainly my Lady."

Okay, I've heard a lot of information. I need to get back to my room now.
