Disclaimer: I own only my characters, mostly everything but a few NPCs are owned by Gravity. Those few NPCs are owned by Kashy of RORevolution.
Author's Notes: The next few chapters are going to start focusing on either 1 or 2 characters at a time, this will help get more into the character hopefully. Also, please excuse the lame titles, I'm not good at naming things. On a side note, I do not know what MVP stands
for so don't ask.

Chapter 2: The mind of the killer, Assassin.

Raga walked slowly walked out of the city of Al De Baran, looking at the 5 Guild Castles. The assassin smiled at the sight of no one being around and headed for the first castle, clasping his Triple Critical Jurs handles tightly. "If I can get and keep just one till the War of Emperium is over, I may be able to recruit more people." He entered the castles ground, using his Cloaking to hide himself incase there was anyone about. He hadn't looked to see who owned this guild, but he didn't worry. For anyone that's wondering, no one owned that guild, though none knew the reason. Unfortunately for Raga, a lot of the very powerful monsters start taking residence in unused guilds. These monsters are rare and normally seen in hard to get to places, like deep parts of high level dungeons, also they have the nickname of MVP. He walked a few steps and saw the first, stopping with a look of shock in his eyes. 'What? That's a Turtle General! I'm not going to try.' He did something that he did rarely, he ran. As strong as he was, there was very few MVPs he could stand up to, and those where the lowest level MVPs.

After going back to Al De Baran, Raga sighed. This just hadn't been his day. First he had been reminded of his inability to yet attain Sin X, or even to be blessed with Rebirth and becoming a Novice High. Then the MVP thing. He rubbed his right ear slightly as he walked to Warpra, getting a warp to the town of Payon. However his luck was against him for as soon as he appeared, he promptly got ran over by a crusader on a Peco Peco. The Crusader continued by, only stopping to sell stuff to a vendor before turning around and running over the assassin again right as Raga was starting to get up, heading for the Payon Caves. Raga spoke, though it came as little more than a whisper. "Aco..."

He dreamt as he fell unconscious, dreamt of finally turning into an Assassin Cross. Dreamt of getting new members for the guild. Dreamt of finally paying Aki back for those embarrasments. Mainly he dreamt of what he would be able to finally do as a Sin X. He envisioned himself killing more MVPs, entering harder places, using more advanced skills to kill effeciently. Also the Zeny he would get. The money that would be payed to him to do jobs or even that collected by selling more expensive items and more of other items. He dreamt all this... then got his rude awakening.

Mageric stood, meaning to make a quick escape so that he didn't have to deal with Feht, but relaxed when he saw him turn around and leave. At this point the wizard went over and sold the few items he had, noticing the ran over body of Raga. He laughed, then pulled himself together. He tried to pick up the figure, but didn't pull it off. He was amazed that the assassin could be so stealthy in the heavy armor he wore. He stood back, thinking. "Well, if I can't move him, I'll wake him." He raised the Blink Arc Wand, muttering. "FROST DIVER!" The ground exploded with ice in a line towarsd the figure, hitting him for damage and freezing him. Mageric moved forward and slammed his weapon into the frozen figure, shattering the ice.

Raga first experienced pain, then mind numbing cold, followed by hitting the ground, hard. After a few moments he slowly got up, blinking his eyes to try to clear his vision. "What in bloody hell was that?' The assassin spoke while rubbing his head, looking around and finding Mageric. "You realize that I'm going to make you experience a lot of pain now don't you?" With those words said, he slashed out with his jurs, only to be blasted back but the wizard's prepared Jupitel Thunder. "You... going... down... now..."

"Oh be quiet, you should be thanking me for waking you up after being trampled by that idiot!" Mageric spoke sharply and with authority. "Ungrateful assassins, always thinking of yourselves as being oh so high and mighty." The wizard snorted and turned, walking away from Raga, casting Sight so that the assassin could not sneak up behind him and attack. Mageric merely walked through the gate, leaving Payon behind.

The assassin merely stood, casting Heal on himself to help with the wounds he now had. "They'll all see... once I advance they will no longer be able to say such things to me. I will be faster, stronger, more deadly than I am now, and I will earn the respect I rightfully deserve." He turned away, heading out of Payon through the other gate, into the forests beyond. He had heard tell of a monster by a bamboo patch that was almost killing the more unexperienced ones that went into the area, even those that had be accepted as a higher rank, such as an assassin or knight. He would slay this monster to prove that he was ready to be Reborn so that he may attain his ranking. With that he cloaked and started running.

Alright, I know I left it on a cliffhanger but I didn't wish to start the upcoming fight yet, and I've been getting people wanting me to update. I'm not sure if Chapter 3 will be a short chapter, depicting the battle between Raga and the monster or if I'll start on another character. Anyways, time for the message from my favorite Sin. Don't worry, I chained him to a wall so that he can't attack.

Raga: RELEASE ME!

Raganui: Say it and I might.

Raga: RELEASE ME AT ONCE OR I WILL SLOWLY FLAY THE SKIN FROM YOUR BONES!

Raganui: Ok... he doesn't seem to want to so I will. Read and Review.
