Summary

Leguna. An orphan. His life changed dramatically the day the thieves’ guild happened to select him for training and development. He would go on to become lifelong friends with a loyal mercenary, the partner of a beautiful magus who was cold as ice, the savior of a mysterious disfigured dark-elf girl with a talent for the Breath, and the unlikely caregiver for a feisty young maiden. And yet, who would be with him to the very end?

In a twist of fate, the child who fought stray dogs for food emerged to be the most infamous assassin in the world. But the intricacies of power are not so easily grasped, and the price of protecting those that he loves is not as simple as he once thought…

    the mc suddenly get angry and yell at one of the girls he like bc she doesn't express her feelings as clearly as him? i mean that's so sudden and it's not like he doesn't know how she is, they spent 2years together before that, that's so trash, the author failed a this point, the mc has a protagonist syndrom although he regret afterward to yell at her his head doesn't get better it became unbearable to read, he become the perfect little cliché of a prota that's too annoying, also there's vera that forced him to take the child in the team bc the child like him so he has to take her? that's fucked up man, she tell him "do you think every girls out there like you?" i mean there's literally 2 other girl. . and as much as i repsect women, i don't think he has to take her just because of that, that was so annoying to read seriously the author was forcing some feminism in the novel it was so unnatural seriously

      I got you dude. I read it at first I was like ok it's ok he is taking that child because of guilt but letter on the whole novel only focus on his problem with his woman only they try to make him a big character like he was some king of ancient being or like had ancient power but he doesn't like it's frustrating that he only thinks of his own problem and not of other. He like you said has protagonist syndrome he goes in like fire and is shout out quickly he always has someone to get home out of trouble he created and through his journey (I read till 400 only ok ) He has been an assassin for almost 3 years he is familiar with the dark world but noooo he doesn't want to anything other then to be with his women like dude don't you get it you cannot do it. They say that he is smart but till now I have not seen a single time he was smart Don't make a character appear what he is not All in all I give it 3/5 had potential but got ruined by the relations

    This is the lowest ranked novel I read but it's actually not that bad, its even better that some light novels that are like 200 ranks higher than it. Although mc starts out naive he actually progresses later on, at the very least he better than other retarded mcs

    I rarely post comments and im currently on ch 45-46. I hate stupid reviews and empty words so hears my honest opinion. This story is dark by my standards (comparable to great demon system) the protagonist starts out naive tho his character and personality grows in depth and darkness along with his trauma and tragedy. Honestly his situation is fucked and its awe inspiring seeing him overcome it all. The story has nice undertones that can change at the drop of a coin and the magical race play is well developed. Humanity is depicted in all its malicious and chaotic glory, whilst also preserving the characters autonomy and personalities. This novel so far has extreme potential.
