I woke up in a game I never played, stripped of choice, doomed to die.

They gave me the Soldier class and threw me into a barracks ruled by elves. No tutorial. No way out. Just drills, bruises, and the creeping realization that I’m not playing. I’m being played.

My masters are NPCs who think they’re real.

The system says I’m here to fight their wars.

But a hunting accident changed everything.

I saved Prince Thalandril’s life, and now he trusts me more than his own guards. He calls me his shadow. He makes me his blade.

He doesn’t know the truth.

Beneath the Soldier class the system displays, something darker waits. Something forbidden. I am a Mage in a world where magic is a death sentence. Every spell I cast brings me closer to exposure. Every level I gain makes me harder to kill.

As whispers of rebellion stir in the palace halls, my power grows. If I want to live, I’ll have to do more than hide.

I’ll have to become an assassin in the prince’s service, and pray he never learns what I really am.

Assassin Awakens is the first novel in The Sworn Sword saga. This is a progression LitRPG novel. It follows a protagonist with a hidden class transported into a deteriorating, medieval fantasy, full-immersion game. This novel does not conclude all storylines; only the first arc is completed. You can expect hard-earned character progression, GameLit side-quest adventures, palace politics, a slow-burning beginning, an adventurous middle, and an explosive ending. It’s appropriate for all ages.
