The Red Hand

The Red Hand
We're all told to find our passion in life, figure out what we are good at, and pursue it. In Akagi's case, it turns out her passion was assassination, not something a normal girl gets involved in right? Trapped in Free World Online for four years and forced to fight for her very life, her name became one that struck fear and terror in the hearts of Players and NPCs alike. But when the game was over and it was time to go home, what would happen to the terrifying assassin known as "the Red Hand?"
