This novel is about an assassin who died in an incident like 'god drops flowerpot' and finds himself before an old evil mage.After escaping form the evil grandpa, he strives for a stable life and maybe learn some of the more useful magic tricks in-between. But unfortunately for our MC trouble keeps coming his way, so we, the readers can enjoy a nice action filled story.The story does not feel forced and the decision and actions taken are reasonable.(So it's not just 'Plot armor!' and 'Why do I need reason?')Spoiler ahead! You have been warned!Our MC is not almighty, so he has to work hard for his achievements.At the beginning the story settles down in one location, but afterwards our MC travels around, because 'read the story'.He steals the hearts of some girls while showing off his smart side and rescues some people from sticky situations.While he advances on his path in this new world, he gains trust and makes some enemies. Our typical story of a run-off-the-mill hero.Wait! Maybe not?Yeah, he might have some serious trust issues and he is a bit on the ruthless side, but that doesn't mean he can't be a hero!...Oh! You mean for a hero he is too calculating, scheming and uncaring?Hmmm, so maybe he is no hero after all.But our MC gets cased, worshipped and schemed against occasionally and from time to time he might get admired, loved and respected (and even stalked by a little adorable creature) so he has his reasons.Sometimes he even has to deal with zombies, unicorns and some undead mages who want to get ahold of him.So the story has a good flow and it never really gets boring.I recommend this novel to those who like antiheroes, many fight scenes, mages and sword fighters, scheming MC, a bit of romance, evil organizations, power hierarchy, companions, adventures and don't have anything against the mysterious backgrounds of a few main & side characters.Please enjoy your time reading!
