Hi guys, this is my second novel here, and for you that have been reading my previous novel 'Is this really A Game?!' this one will be quite different. First of all, the system elements are light compared to my previous novel as the world I am writing about is one that had magic and monsters before the system arrived and is available to all. You should expect a dark story with a protagonist that acts like a villain at times and is quite calculative in his endeavors. Anyway, hope you enjoy it, and here is the synopsis.

Lyle was an orphan, he knew not of who his parents were and only had memories of his mother from a long time ago. After being discovered by a mysterious man, Lyle joined the assassin organization and rose through the ranks thanks to his hard efforts, talent, and mysterious origin.
The world suddenly changed during one of his missions, what was supposed to be a slightly more difficult mission became a hard one, and then the change occurred.
Mana ran rampant and the many monsters of the world became stronger, more of them appeared and suddenly the inhabitants of the world that had suppressed monsters for so long were forced to fight the more powerful monsters once again.
For Lyle, it was a chance, however. The system came into his world and he received an opportunity to become more powerful.

Rise of the Blood Sovereign

The 'Carl' that Lyle had seemingly killed was merely a puppet. Carl's ability was called [ Puppet Master ], an ability that allowed him to create puppets out of soil or even corpses. Upon creating a puppet, Carl could mold them, making them look vastly different from their initial looks, including making them look exactly like him.

He had done so with the puppet that Lyle had killed. Upon teleporting, he quickly took out one of his puppets and commanded it to go a bit away from him and simply stand there in order to draw Lyle's attention while he would do his best to hit Lyle.

Upon seeing how Lyle was able to dodge his attack whilst still in the air, Carl was not discouraged and followed up on his attack with another one. He had a multitude of throwing spears with him, so he could afford to continuously launch them at Lyle, making the latter slow down.
