Mr. Reaper

Underworld, Dark Gloves Tower, Yin-Yang City

Lucas walked through the gate, making heads turn. He checked out the missions under E rank, as he was only qualified to do them being a new assassin in the organization.

Lucas was planning to take only those missions which would harm Velvet Org, to make its enemies aware that someone was willing to do their dirty work and make them approach him. This way, he could gain Shiv's gratitude as well, killing two birds with one stone—or three birds, in this case.

Lucas took a mission and drove towards Section C. The mission was simple: to kill an upper echelon of Velvet Org named Jack Payne, who had come down to Yin-Yang City to make some transactions relating to unknown matters.

Lucas went to the building where the deal was happening and climbed the opposite building. From the terrace, Lucas could see the two men talking. He took out Star Screamer, planning to go high profile, and set the mode to Sure Kill. He aimed and pulled the trigger.

KABOOM!

The noise was louder than bombs exploding. The sonic blast had already done its job by exploding the target's entire head and neck. As if that wasn't enough, the headless body slammed against the opposite wall due to the huge momentum, making cracks appear on it.

Lucas's own shoulder had received a huge bruise due to the recoil, although the suit was not damaged as the attack was blunt. This was still a surprise for Lucas.

Lucas had only carried virtual simulations of the gun and never used it, as he didn't want to expose any connection of the gun with him.

But after seeing its performance, Lucas was stunned for a while. He then started laughing.

"What a good gun."

While Lucas was busy admiring his creation, the people in the suite were stunned and terrified. Only after wiping away the blood from their eyes did they realize someone was dead.

Jack's bodyguards knew where the shot had been fired from due to the huge explosion and had already started approaching the opposite building. But when they reached the terrace, all they could see was a huge black explosion mark on the ledge.

Lucas had swiftly made his escape using a parachute, without wasting any time climbing down the stairs. He went back to The Dark Glove's organization and took another E-rank mission related to Velvet.

The receptionist this time was not James but some other middle-aged man. After seeing Lucas request another mission, he was quite surprised.

Lucas looked at his watch.

"Hmm, 30 minutes, one mission complete. Hehe, let's move on then, shall we?"

7 hours later, Dark Guild's Org, Assassin's Ranking Board

1st ...

500th Mr. Reaper

This was not shocking as the rankings on the assassin leader board kept changing. But in Lucas's case, he had climbed from 3000th+ rank to 500th in a single night. This indeed drew the attention of many.

People had already started discussing Mr. Reaper, the name Lucas had chosen for himself. He initially wanted to name himself Dark Knight, but someone named Bruce Insane had already taken it.

The middle-aged receptionist had already gone bonkers over the terrific completion rate of Mr. Reaper and reported it to his higher-ups.

As more people started to learn about Mr. Reaper, many organizations began paying attention to him. Climbing two thousand plus ranks couldn't be done by a simple character.

After gathering information about this man, they had a shocking revelation: all missions taken by Mr. Reaper were aimed at Velvet Org. Many other underworld agencies were now more interested in this guy but didn't approach him yet, waiting for his next move to confirm his prowess. The enemies of Velvet Org, particularly the Dark Guild, were happy about this.

Lucas had completed seven E-rank and two D-rank missions overnight, which gained him a D-rank as an assassin. The fun fact was that the only damage he had received was from his own gun. Lucas knew that he could resolve this only after his strength increased to face the recoil impact.

Lucas wanted to continue, but he started noticing that Velvet members were cautiously departing from the city one by one. Chasing was an option, but then efficiency would decrease.

So he finally gave up the hunt and decided to return as even the sun was going to rise soon, and walking in such a 'sick' outfit in broad daylight would only attract trouble for him.
