[Spiritual Foundation Infusion… Beginning!]
Hummm!
A figure suddenly appeared before Kevin's eyes—his face hidden beneath a hood, his body wrapped in black robes, exuding the cold aura of a hunter. Sharp Irish features flickered within the shadows.
Kevin's pupils shrank.
"Codfish?! The 'career ceiling' and 'colleague elimination specialist' from Assassin's Creed?!"
His shock instantly turned into excitement.
"I can actually draw him?! Is he really one of my ancestors?!"
As the protagonist of Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Shay Cormac was unique for his transition from Assassin to Templar, as well as his complex moral stance.
When Kevin first read the system's description, he thought all template characters would be purely evil villains… but now it seemed the system's definition of "evil" was far broader than he had imagined.
Take Shay as an example.
His life could be summarized in one sentence—
The first half: loyally serving the Brotherhood.
The second half: personally burying his former comrades.
Shay started as an ordinary Assassin, but after a "small mistake" that led to the destruction of Lisbon, he suffered a massive psychological breakdown.
He tore up his ties with the Brotherhood and joined the Templars, beginning his new career as an "Assassin Hunter."
He was practically a legendary HR specialist… specializing in "optimizing colleagues."
Friends, lovers, mentors—no one was spared.
But for Kevin, Shay's true value wasn't just his skills.
It was his experience—a complete life filled with combat, betrayal, and survival on the edge.
A priceless treasure.
However, before Kevin could celebrate—
A massive flood of memories suddenly engulfed him!
Shay Patrick Cormac, born in the 18th century to an Irish family in New York.
His parents died early, and he was raised by his aunt.
He grew up on the streets with his friend Liam, eventually joining the Assassin Brotherhood.
But during his missions, he began questioning their beliefs.
Then, in 1755, during a mission in Lisbon—
A single mistake triggered a devastating earthquake that killed countless people.
From that moment on, everything changed.
He joined the Templars… and began hunting his former brothers.
The system didn't just give Kevin information—
It gave him an entire life.
At the very end of those memories, Kevin saw a strange scene:
Shay's daughter bringing home a young man… with the surname "O'Connor."
"Haaah!!"
Kevin snapped back to reality, gasping for air like a drowning man.
It took him several minutes to regain his sense of self.
The feeling was surreal… as if he had lived another person's entire life.
"I can't stack too many templates… this was just an E-rank, and I almost lost myself!"
After calming down, he checked his gains:
[Attributes After Integration:]
Strength: E
Endurance: E
Agility: E+
Intelligence: E
Magic: None
Luck: C
This was practically a rebirth!
But more terrifying than the stats—
Were the instincts.
Combat awareness, killing techniques, environmental perception… all awakened within him like second nature.
A knife that once cut fruit—
Could now slit a throat with precision.
Then came the skills:
[Assassin Equipment (Shay): E+]
[Eagle Vision: E+]
[Free Running: E]
[Master Assassin: E+]
The entire process lasted most of the night.
Kevin stood there, feeling the power surging through his body.
"I'm invincible."
…for about five seconds.
Then reality hit him again.
"If Shay is really my ancestor… doesn't that mean this world is actually the Assassin's Creed world?!"
And that's when the real problem began.
This world wasn't simple.
Ancient civilizations.
Mysterious technologies.
And the Toba catastrophe.
None of it had been obvious before—because to ordinary people, this world looked completely normal.
But now, things started connecting.
"Wait… if that's true… where is Abstergo Industries?!"
How could a massive corporation like that just not exist?!
At that moment—
His brain nearly crashed.
"Damn it! Calm down!"
He forced himself to focus.
"The priority is survival… and finding out who killed my parents!"
He began analyzing:
The system activated due to a "major criminal event" His Sin Points came from his family That means… there's a conspiracy
Was it related to Shay's bloodline?
The Templars?
Or someone else?
After thinking it through—
He rejected that idea.
"If it was because of Shay… why only now?"
In the end, he reached two possibilities:
Someone was targeting his family's wealth The real target was his relatives in Europe
The second seemed more likely.
Then he remembered the name:
"Fedorova…"
He froze.
"Wait… this… feels familiar…"
"Endgame?!"
(⊙_⊙;)
Kevin muttered:
"No way… are all transmigration worlds this insane now?!"
First Assassin's Creed…
Now an American TV show?!
"Are Jedi going to show up next too?!"
"Are copyright laws in this damn world just used as toilet paper?!"
