As the cold steel of the assassins blade peirced the targets throat his lifeless body fell to the ground, "one down fourteen to go. " the boy sighed realising he could have turned down this mission but the reward money was more than good so it was worth risking his life on, after killing his first target the boy leaped into the air and he threw needles at six of the remaining targets when the needles hit, the eyes of the men became black and they started bleeding from there eyes, ears, mouth and noses it was a highly fatal poison that the needles were coated in.
As he landed he rolled to minimise damage to his body, becoming overconfident he charged at the remaining eight targets drawing his dagger again he sliced open the throat of one of his targets but that's when he realised that he was blinded by arrogance as he noticed he had been surrounded by the remaining seven men who all had there handguns pointed at his head knowing he couldn't get out of this through combat he reached to grab smoke grenades to cover his escape but as he reached into his coats pocket all the men fired there guns at the boy who didn't have time to react that's when it happened...

... As the boy woke up in complete darkness no floor no walls just floating in the void that's when he remembered what happened checking his body over he found no wounds from the gun shots in fact all his old scars on his arms from combat training was gone.
"Ah hmm" a loud voice sounded as if clearing its throat. "hello and welcome to my realm as you probably guessed you died." as this was said a white hooded figure walks into sight.
"so what happens now do I get judged or am I being reincarnated?" The boy asked
"Yes to both I will judge your previous life to see if you are deserving of reincarnation or not and if not you will be here in the void for the rest of eternity." The hooded figure explains
The boy looking both confused and over joyed at the same time " You can call me jisshi, what should I refer to you as? " jisshi askes
" I go by many names god, shinigami, hades, the destroyer, the great creater. You shall call me whatever you like" the hooded figure answered
After thinking for a while jisshi finally decided on a name for the hooded figure. " I'll just call you shin. " jisshi decides, after thinking for a while all he could think to do was shorten shinigami into a normal name.
" Hahaha no one has spoken to me so casually for many years if ever hahaha" shin laughs histerically at jisshi's decision, after a while of laughter shin concentrates. " Shall we begin judgement.?" he inquires.
After some contemplating jisshi asks "so how does this work do you weigh my soul against a feather or something like that?"
" Hahaha no that's not how this works to put simply we replay your life and I see whether or not your worthy of reincarnation." Shin explains as if he's been asked this question for years.
A few moments later a giant screen appears in front of them and starts to play a video in it a boy aged about three is being transported in a cage on a plane." ah so you were sold into slavery from birth and were moved around until someone decided to buy you in Japan."
The video fades and another one plays this time they boy is about five and in the woods holding a dagger and has crimson blood sprayed all over his clothing dragging a large bear by its legs behind him." so at age five you were taught how to survive in the wilderness and also had to hunt for your own food."
Again the video fades and another one appears this time the boy is aged ten and is stood with an old man whom looks to be at least 50 and is teaching the boy all of the vital organ locations in a human body and also where fatal strikes are." you were trained in the art of assassination and marcial combat by the age of ten by the man who bought you from the slave traders." Then once again the video fades and a new one replaces it this time its spilt into fifths all showing a boy aged fifteen on different missions one shows him taking on five enemys at once and winning whilst another shows him sniping a wealthy business man from 1km away. The others showed similar videos but one was significantly different it was the last one, as the boy slit a man in suits throat a huge grin appears on the boys face. "after being trained in many assassination forms you used them in practical use spending your time as a hired assassin and over time you grew to enjoy killing humans." "Am I wrong with any of my explanations?" Enquired shin as if checking if he missed any thing.
Remembering all of his past was tough on isshi then shins question brought him back. "U um no that's about everything that happened in my life." Answered jisshi with a sigh of sadness.
Understanding how jisshi feels shin gives isshi a few minutes to calm himself. " Ok from what I have seen your OK for reincarnation after a few minor personality adjustments of course."
" before I forget what kind of world are you wanting to transfer into?" Shin asks with an understanding tone.
"Is it possible to reincarnate into a world of magic and demons with adventurers and monsters? "jisshi asks very excitedly as if already knowing where he wanted to go.
" I don't see why not, I'll transfer you to a world that meets your specification, a few more questions then you can be on your way, do you want to keep your memories of your past world, what elemental magic do you want?, and finally what alternate magic do you want?"
Jisshi took no time at all in order to respond" yes, lightning and what's do you mean alternate magic? "
" Ah yes I forgot to explain in this new world everyone awakens elemental magics when they are ten you will be fifteen so you need not worry about that but alternate magic is rare and seen in only few people and it consists of light, dark, time, space and automatic regeneration magics? " " the latter even rarer than the others with only one in one hundred thousand alternate mages" explained shin to a now very exited jisshi
After a while jisshi finally decided on his alternate magic. " I think I'll go for dark magic as it sounds useful to an assassin!" Exlamed jisshi
"OK then now my new friend in the nicest way let's hope we don't see each other for at least a while" The fading voice of shin said as jisshi's eyes closed only opening after a couple of minutes when he looked around he was falling at least 100km in the air now 500m rapidly descending he decided he would make himself as streamline as possible as he could and aim for a beautiful glistening lake just outside a very large city carved into the side of a mountain with a wall blocking what the mountain didnt, as he fell he noticed giant lizards running in the forests to the north and a vast ocean to the west whilst the east is where the lake is and in the south east is where the mountain city is positioned. 500m the lake was getting close and it was just now jisshi remembered the physics lesson his master taught him about jumping off a bridge into water without throwing something in first to break surface tention but it was too late. BANG as the sound of an earth shattering explosion peirced through the serenity of the peaceful area. In the lake a half dead boy with silver hair and black eyes floated to the top and now a large crowd was surrounding the lake not knowing what was going on...
