Summary

James might look like your average high school student at Crestwood Academy, a prestigious school for magic. But beneath the quiet, laid-back facade lies a dark secret: James is a trained assassin. Struggling to fit in, he’s determined to live a normal life and escape his deadly past. But balancing schoolwork, friendships, and magic isn’t easy—especially when you’ve been trained to solve problems with lethal precision. As James fights to keep his true identity hidden, the line between his two worlds starts to blur.

Prologue

The world you see isn’t the world I see. While you’re swimming in a sea of emotions and colors, I’m stuck on dry land, watching the waves crash from a distance.

I know I’m a human. At least on the outside…

Even though I’ve got the same organs as you, something is missing. Emotions. I know what they are, I’ve seen them in others. Unfortunately, they’re out of my reach… It’s not that I don’t want to feel things; it’s that I don’t know how.

I’m jealous… Jealous of those who can feel. Of those who can laugh and cry and love without reservation. I want to live like they do, to experience the world in all its messy, chaotic glory. But I’m trapped in this cage of reason and logic, unable to break free.

As much as I despise logic at times, it is also my lifeline. It’s how I learned to live. Without it, I wouldn’t have survived.

I’m done with just surviving. That’s been my life for too long. I’m tired of it. I want more. I want to live, to feel, to experience things like a real person. Happiness. Anger. Sadness. Love. I want to experience it all…

Honestly, I haven’t been completely truthful… Even though I claim I’m emotionless, there’s one feeling I do have. Hope… Hope that somewhere deep inside me, buried beneath layers of logic and detachment, there’s still a spark of humanity. A flicker of emotion waiting to be ignited, a reminder that I’m more than just a weapon.

And so I search. I search for that elusive piece of myself, that missing puzzle piece that will make me whole. I watch the world with longing eyes, yearning to be a part of it.

Maybe one day I’ll find my humanity. Maybe one day I’ll break free from this prison. Until then, I’ll keep searching, keep hoping, and keep believing that somewhere out there, there’s a place for me in this world.

My Blacksmith Savior

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...
