Twilight's Bane

Dad said, “The son follows in his father's footsteps, so you have to become a great hero.”

So when he turned eighteen, his old man kicked him out of the house. He roamed the martial world as a “great hero,” often showing up at the most critical moments just to make a brief appearance and prove what he was. Actually, making a brief appearance was pretty fun. But lately, he seemed to have discovered something even more enjoyable.

The boss said, “This line of work is simple: either you kill someone, or you get killed.”

So she had worked diligently from a young age to hone her professional skills, determined to do this simple job as well as she could. As long as she was still alive, taking a small loss when killing someone was no big deal. It was certainly better than getting killed. But why did someone who had nothing to do with her job keep appearing in her line of sight? It seemed like... it was really interfering with her work.

After the blurb, here are a few bonus tags for the main characters.

Male lead: scheming, a hypocrite, sanctimonious, and a fake gentleman.

Female lead: With her mask on, she's a captivating beauty. With it off, she's expressionless and completely devoid of personality.
