by Angel on Fire
In a world where assassination is a legalized industry controlled through the hidden Veil Market, death is no longer chaos, it is contract, regulation, and currency. Guilds operate across nations in the shadows of law, fulfilling contracts that governments, nobles, and syndicates all pretend do not exist. Rayan awakens in this world as an extra destined to die early, a nameless background character who, in the original story, is killed off in Chapter 18 as a disposable casualty. Every contract completed pushes him further up the Veil Market’s hierarchy. Now, trapped between a fixed fate and a system that rewards murder, he must survive long enough to carve out a future that was never written for him.
