Shadow Slayer: Re-Awakening of the Weakest Assassin

SamratKarki
In a world where ruthless assassins and monstrous creatures battle for dominance, Arya Chhetri was born with nothing—no power, no talent, just the cursed mark of an assassin. Barely surviving in the deadly underworld, he was nothing more than a stepping stone for others. But fate had other plans. Trapped in an S-rank dungeon with betrayal closing in, Arya faces certain death—only to awaken in his own body, alive once more. Something inside him has changed. Something terrifying. Now, armed with nothing but his instincts and a relentless will to survive, Arya embarks on a path drenched in blood and shadows. The world sees him as weak, but they have no idea what he has become. The assassins who betrayed him will regret it. The monsters lurking in the dark will fear him. Because Arya Chhetri is done running. And this time, he’s the hunter.

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana.

And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time.
