The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat

Once celebrated as the greatest assassin, a man who devoted his life to the organization that trained him is ultimately betrayed and eliminated by the very people he served. In the moment after death, he’s summoned before a goddess who recognizes his unmatched talent and offers him a second life in a world of swords and sorcery—on one condition: he must avert the world’s ruin by killing its hero.

Reborn as Lugh Tuatha Dé, heir to a noble lineage of assassins in the Alvan Kingdom, he begins again with a new identity and a mission that demands absolute precision. Taught by his father, Lugh refines methods unlike the detached, ruthless approach of his past, while his other abilities grow and bring new companions into his orbit. Yet with the hero looming as an opponent beyond ordinary measure, Lugh understands that anything short of perfection could mean failure.
