Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Loki or Fade was trained to be able to read as quickly as possible and get key information on what he was reading as fast as possible. So with that skill, he was able to quickly go through the book\'s content it also helped that, every now and then memories from the past owner of the body flooded his mind. This helped him understand the history book way quicker.

Basically the world he was in had one continent and many smaller islands. During this world\'s so called middle ages, there used to be many kingdoms and from within those kingdoms was the Soira Kingdom.

Compared to the other kingdoms of that period, the Soira Kingdom had a superior armed force. Being so strong they started conquering the nearby kingdoms. They had achieved victory after victory and were nigh unstoppable. After a few decades, they had conquered most of the Western kingdoms.

Due to the overwhelming strength of the now Soira Empire, the remaining kingdoms quickly formed an alliance which was called the Eastern Alliance. By gathering all of the kingdoms of the East under one flag, coupled with the continued riots in the Soira Empire, the unstoppable Empire had finally met its match.

Over countless centuries the Soira Empire continued to assault the Eastern Alliance which changed into the Democratic Country of Zothril. Yet after numerous minor and major skirmishes, the two sides had buried the hatchet and agreed to have peaceful relations.

Nowadays instead of skirmishes, the two sides host a tournament every decade where both sides send their young prodigies into battle. This tournament had existed for a few centuries now and was divided into team matches and individual matches. Between the two, the team matches were the most popular, those that are crowned champions in the team matches were usually treated as heroes.

While Loki was getting engrossed in reading the various books in his room, he heard the footsteps of someone coming up the stairs. Based on the sound and how light it was he could tell it was Alisa. Well seeing as she was the only other person in the house of course that was the case. It has been too long since he stayed with other people that hearing these other sounds felt too new for him. Alisa then knocked on his door.

"Big brother dinner is ready."

...

When Loki arrived downstairs he saw Alisa was dressed and heading out. Noticing that her big brother was looking at her she spoke.

"Big brother the food is on the table, I\'ll be heading out for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

"... Liam hasn\'t returned and he isn\'t answering my calls. So I was going to go out and look for him." Hearing what Alisa said Loki looked at the windows and saw that it was already dark outside.

"There\'s no need for you to go. I\'ll bring him back. It\'s also a good thing for me to walk around and see if I can remember some things by looking at familiar scenery. So where do you think he is?"

"But Big Brother-"

"No need to worry. It\'s just a little walk, so tell me where do you think he is?"

"How about we both go and look for him?"

"Even though I can\'t remember much, but I\'m sure it\'s not a good idea for a young lady such as yourself to be going out in this time."

"But you\'ll be there with me, Big Brother."

The two continued to talk back and forth for quite some time until Loki finally convinced Alisa to stay behind.

"Fine, if you say so Big Brother... Usually, Liam would head to the nearby arcade."

"How do you get there?"

"Big brother, should I just go with you?"

"As I said, I will do it myself just tell me where it is?"

"You can find it using the app on your smartphone."

"Smartphone?"

"Big brother, can\'t you remember what a smartphone is?" After Alisa asked him, Loki waited for a bit to see if a memory of the item called a smartphone would fill his mind, but unfortunately, after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened.

"Truth be told I can\'t." Hearing her big brother\'s response Alisa took out her own smartphone and showed it to him.

"This is a smartphone, do you remember now?" Loki saw the rectangular object and knew that it was the one he saw in his room. Even with the visual aid, the memory from the past owner wasn\'t transferring.

"I do kinda remember what that is, but I don\'t remember how to use it."

"Are you really sure that you don\'t need me?"

"I need to relearn all this somehow."

Alisa sighed as she asked Loki if he knew where his smartphone was. Loki went back upstairs got his smartphone and Alisa started to teach him how to use what he needed.

...

While Alisa was teaching Loki, Liam was in his favorite arcade playing some shooting games. He tried calling his friends to play with him, but they couldn\'t come. So he was out here alone, still playing this game was able to calm him down.

As he checked his phone and saw that Alisa was once again trying to call him he ignored it and continued playing.

"Look at that isn\'t that the uniform of that fancy-ass school."

"Oh, you\'re right!"

When Liam heard those side comments he clicked his tongue and didn\'t finish his game and was about to leave. Yet the moment he turned four young men had surrounded him.

"Hey friend, can we have a little talk."
