  One name was written inside. **It better should be a npc** or so I thought.

  **"Leonhart Ascarion."**

  *Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.*

  They wanted me to assassinate the **hero of the game.**

  **The very guy I need to survive to clear this world.**

  I sighed, rubbing my temples.

  The **Villain System** chimed in.

  [Ding!]

  **[Villain System Notice]**

  - **New Hidden Objective: Sabotage the Assassination Without Blowing Your Cover**

  - **Reward: +10,000 XP, +1 Ability Upgrade**

  Now that’s more like it.

  I wasn’t about to go after Leonhart, but I **had** to make it look like I tried.

  And I already had a plan forming. Let the real fun begin
