Assassin Awakens (The Sworn Sword #1)

Level up. Stay sharp. Never let the system reveal who you really are.

My life was stolen from me—not that it was worth much to begin with.

Just another nameless body dragged into the system, a kidnapped mind forced to play their game of survival in a world I never chose. They gave me Farmer. Bottom-tier stats. No weapons. No future.

But I refuse to die here.

Now I'm grinding levels in a soldier's barracks, training to fight for elven NPCs who think they're more real than I am. The Titans—the original players—nearly shattered this world before the system locked them away. Magic was outlawed. Anyone caught casting gets executed on sight.

Too bad for me, because while my strength and stamina climb, something else is growing too. Something that shouldn't exist.

My display reads Assassin.

The system knows Class Mage.

Every spell I cast brings me closer to detection. Every level gained makes me harder to hide. The elves are watching. The system is learning.

And if they discover what I really am, I'm dead.

But if I can stay hidden long enough to master what's inside me...

I might do more than just survive this game.

Detection Critical.
