Hey, so here is the prologue of the new project that I was talking about yesterday. I already set up the table of contents page, so you can check it out . The summary… doesn’t seem interesting, but I promise you, it is, so please do give this novel a try.
As for chapter 1, it’s still in the process of getting translated, so I will post that either later today or tomorrow. Also, as noted before, this series does have depictions of violence , so if you are a younger reader or not good with blood and violence, I would suggest that you either skip over those parts or just don’t read it? On that note, this chapter DOES have violence in it, so be warned.
I think that’s it for now. The NU page is in the process of getting approved and I have translated the author’s note at the end, but it’s about revision and adjustments. Please ignore that as this chapter was published in 2017 and that shouldn’t concern us. Anyways, please do give this new novel a try and let me know what you guys think of it.

On the slanted roof of a certain building, was a figure dressed in black from head to toe as if melting into the darkness.
A black cloth was wrapped around his neck, and his cloak was fluttering in the wind.
As if waiting for something, the figure’s gaze was fixated on the roof and stayed there without wavering.
To be able to discover the figure who had completely melted into the darkness to the point of not perceiving him even if you were aware of him, they could only be those of the same profession as the figure’s.
After a while, the all-black figure sighed and started to take action; he lowered his left leg, drew his dagger, and suddenly entered his fighting stance.
It didn’t seem like there was anything there, but at that moment, the air wavered and a single man appeared.
That man was dressed in the same all-black lightweight equipment as that figure.
The only differences was probably the weapon, the black cloth that was wrapped around the neck, as well as the jet-black cloak.
「…it’s someone of the same profession, huh. Hey, are you protecting this guy? Or is a big-shot like you here to kill a mere guild master?」
「I’m going to kill this guy, and anyone who gets in my way.」
The figure curtly answered, the man in question.
He wasn’t even going to give him a serious answer in the first place.
He directed his killing intent towards the other party.
Feeling that thirst for blood, the man’s body trembled.
The man was someone whose name was well-known in the underworld.
He’d felt that sensation before.
If he seriously erased his presence, no one, no matter who they may be, would be able to discover him, he was someone who could soundlessly bury more than ten thousand monsters, humanity’s strongest assassin–.
「I see. Ah-ah. I heard that there was something like a request for the ‘assassin of darkness’.」
The man sighed as if it was truly regrettable.
His fighting stance had, more or less, turned into him getting ready to run away.
Even his cold sweat was spreading at the overwhelming thirst for blood that the small-statured colleague was emitting.
The figure did not pay any heed to the man, his eyes merely watching his prey,
