Heavens' End Simulator.

Chapter 9: 9. Casual game.



I clutched the kitchen knife in my hand, arms trembling as my focus locked on the female assassin, I've never reached this point in one of my previous lives so I was anxious of what to expect.

The female assassin seemed to noticed the movement in my arms.

She smirked.

"Afraid?.." she taunted.

I just forced a smirk.

"You seem to be trying to throw a dagger back there.." she spoke.

"You wanna learn..?" She placed a finger on her lip.

"Nope.. no Hap.."

A silver glint flashed, and In a split second I felt a pain in my chest.

[Player has died]

I blinked.

'How... "

My eyes widened.

"When."

My gaze pondered.

'wait..."

At the split moment, I saw something, it looked like a silver flash before the death message appeared.

'Which means..'

She threw a dagger, it was silent, like the wind itself, it glided before my eyes could get a clear image of it.

[Knife throwing mastery has increased]

[Knife throwing mastery 0.14%]

'Return.'

The trophy room came into view.

I answered Amy as usual and began pondering.

" I need to be faster"

Night came.

And in no time me and the assassins faced, I looked at here sa she sat on the counter cradling the silver blade in her hands.

"Who sent you..?" I asked, this time maintaining a bored expression, as I pointed to her.

"Hehe, why don't you guess?"

She looked at me with a sheepish smile, chucking her head to the side.

I rolled my eyes and sighed, " if I had an idea, I would've guessed it by now" I stated pointung a kitchen knife at her.

"So why don't we play a game" I smirked.

The female figure was taken aback.

"A g-game..?"

"Yes.." I replied..

"Shocked..?" I chucked my head to the side.

"Hmm to think a nobody slave would suggest I play a game..ok let's see where this goes." she taunted.

'Wait a moment ', I held out a finger.

'Life points..' I thought, I had a life point pool, to show how many existence stones I e absorbed, and the system show me I have 5, can I somehow absorb the existence stones.

[Existence stone 5

[Description: A powerful stone used by seekers to ascend in the primordial hierarchy.]

[Do player what to absorb existence stones?]

'I knew it..' I thought.

'Yes ' I confirmed.

[How many does player want to absorb,( 0-5)]

If I remember correctly I have five existence stones as a welcome bonus on my frist death.

'5' I thought.

[Absorbsion has begun]

It felt like a refreshing feeling had washed over me, like the temperature suddenly plummeted into freezing temperatures.

My scrawny muscles contracted, and bulked ever so slightly. It wasn't so obvious, but I could feel it.

[Existence stone successfully Absorbed]

My body became lighter the world became clearer and my thinking sharpened.

'Is this..'

I felt a single in my forehead, my jet black hair grew out a few inches, this change only took about a minute and the assasin raised a brow in confusion.

"Are we doing a hair growth contest.." she looked at me.

"No" I spoke, brimming with new found strength.

"You are going to throw your daggers at me, And I'm going to dodge every single one.. If I do you tell me who sent you" I proposed.

Oh yeah" she smirked.

"And what's in it for me"

I smiled as I heard those words.

"I'll show you what you're truly hear for off course" I stated.

""And why can that possibly be" She amused mocking tone made the corners of my lips twitch in irration.

" The cemetery of the previous kings.."

Her eyes widened, this was the frist time I glaced at a true emotion from the assassin.

She looked at me in disbelief.

"J-just who are you.., where did you get that information" she pulled her hood up, revealing two pink sparkling eyes.

Is nonchalantly waved her words off.

"I'm just a humble house maid.." I shrugged.

She smiled.

"That games too boring..."

"Huh..?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I have a better one..." her manical grin surfaced as her pupils shrank in excitement.

"Let's play a game of truth, " she proposed.

"We get 5 Questions each, and have to answer honestly" Then we fight afterwards, the winner get to walk away with all that information" she paused.

"While the loser dies with all the information" She added.

"So you mean we can ask any five questions..?" I spoke with a questioning gaze.

"Yes that's correct.." she crossed her leg on the kitchen counter.

"Ok then.." I agreed.

" I'll go frist," she looked at me, her hood fully up revealing her fair skin and and some golden strands of hair stuck out.

"So who are you really..." she asked.

"A simple maid couldn't have known I was sitting on the counter in the frist place, neither would they have an ideawhat where here for.. "

I smiled.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"Huh..?" She blinked a couple times.

"You heard it right.." I reassured, What is your name.

"I-It's luv" she said, still hold that puzzled expression on her face.

"My turn then".

"Shoot"

"Where Is Leonard's grave".

I figured this question would come sooner or later, I was a bit surprised that this wasn't the frist question she asked.

"Well of you must know...It's in the library, " I replied.

"Whare in the library?" She asked.

"Huh.." I paused.

"I'll count that as another question?"

"She nodded."

"It's hidden in a secret mechanism" I spoke, pondering.

She was about to speak but I interrupted.

" I have two questions to ask now".
