When Ley said to his village chief that he wanted to get reincarnated, he expected the elder to ask a few questions about his request and then explain how it would be processed before sending him off. However, in reality, the other party only remained silent. After a while, Leyte was feeling a little bit uncomfortable.
"Village Chief," he called out.
No one answer came. The older guy was only giving him a weird look.
"Kiddo Ley..." It was the old man who suddenly appeared behind the young man.
Leyte Baler stayed on the spot, frowning at the chief's lack of response. From outside, consecutive bell tolls suddenly rang and the people inside the two-story stone house rushed out to see what was going on.
Although puzzled, Leyte Baler and the old man followed the chief outside. What greeted them was still the never-changing gloomy skies, with the addition of the bell tolls which heightened the eeriness of the place.
"Is there any event?

***Within a village nearest to the peak, two women faced off. An encirclement of curious villagers and gossipmongers watched them with unblinking eyes, some of them discussing why a confrontation arose while others marveled at their beauty. Yes, both women dressed in long skirts and traditional shirts were beauties rarely seen in the Underworld. Many curious boys even said that they were not in any way inferior to Goddess Anda in terms of beauty."Ay, the two argued about who is more beautiful,” speculated a bystander."No, I think I heard them quarreling for a guy. Maybe they know each other from the other world and are in love with the same man. However, one of them ended up the real lover while the other one became the trying-hard mistress.""Wrong. The other one is not even a mistress. She is a mere villainess getting in the way of two lovebirds. I think the reason they are both dead and transported into our current world is that the mist

***"P-please help me." cried the girl he remembered to be the first to arrive in Mount Balatukan. She was the schoolgirl from before who was pushed to the rock by her friend.Ley only blanked out for a few seconds before he decided to help. He was neither a saint nor a lawbreaker. However, he was not that heartless to ignore a helpless girl's plea and let her fend by herself.He squatted down to carry the girl, then he asked, "Would it be alright if we jump down the cliff? I'm afraid it’s the only way to reach the forest faster."He saw the little girl hesitated. It was a normal reaction considering that most people hate the pain and fear heights. Ley tried to explain further. "Don't worry, I won't abandon you. If we jump, we would surely get hurt. But at least we would be able to escape from here. The goddesses are both fierce and merciless. They don't care how many people will be caught in their battle. We have no time to dilly-dally. I'll carry

***Skyworld. In a brightly lit palace on one of the highest mountain peaks of the Great West Empire.A woman whose head was adorned with an exaggeratedly decorated crown gazed at the person who requested an audience with her."Your Highness," greeted the man whose features resembled an elf. In the Skyworld, people like him were called Forest Fairies. He had a natural good-looking face and tall built, his ears long and pointed. The visit of this forest fairy happened a day after the battle between Mayari of the Skyworld and Anda of the Underworld."You came to remind me of your goddess' condition?" The beautiful, ethereal-looking woman seated on the throne had an intelligent pair of eyes that could glimpse into a person's intention before they could even voice out.Watching the slight shock on the visitor's face, she indifferently said, "Just a reminder. I've already won the bet so the Authority of Light is now mine.

***Leyte could still remember the uncomfortable feeling and the suffocating fear that swallowed his whole person as he fell from a high place. It was simply awful. Terrible…. For he knew not if there was something to fall to… or if he would still be in one piece once he landed at the bottom.Now he wanted to question his decision, whether jumping off a cliff was really a good idea. It was simply one of the most horrific experiences he had had where he could not even control his own imagination. Never did he expect that closing his eyes would not help at all.The most damnable part was how his imagination almost never left the negative side!‘I’m in a soul state, I won’t die…. Right?’ Even he had begun to doubt his own survival due to the unending jump.Then when he felt like his body would be finally reaching the ground, his consciousness suddenly slipped into the darkness… as if he was being forced to sleep or fall into brief oblivion. This seemed to be proving his conjecture about h

***Several minutes later, Hana returned and stood in front of him with her hands behind her back. "Grandpa Fernando is right next door. And I have many more things to explain to the two of you. Since he had also woken up and it would be more convenient if you two are in the same space when I explained, can you please come with me to his quarters?"Leyte nodded his head gently and said, "No objections here. I had many questions in my mind that need to be clarified.”He first drank the glass of water to quench his thirst. Then he finally agreed to her request and let Hana support him as they walked next door. During the short but laborious walk, he tried to ask some stuff, “Earlier, you mentioned Earth. I just would like to know, you mean our Earth, right?"“Yes.” She nodded and glanced at him. “It’s the one we are more used to.”“I see,” he said.‘So from spirits briefly staying in the Underworld, we got upgraded to Earth’s wandering ghost.’He went quiet for a moment as he contempla

...To be honest, while he seemed like he believed everything Hana said, the opposite was actually true. Not knowing that his intellectual abilities improved greatly, he subconsciously noted the several dubious points that he picked up from Hana's words. There was the unanswered question, why turned them into whatever Anitos? Why not humans?The other souls were escorted into Great Underworld Chief Deity Sitan’s dwelling place. Why were the three of them turned away?The matter about the internet and the language of the human villagers which she said they would have no problem understanding could be excused somewhat. It was not as important. But Hanan?The suspicion only turned stronger when he heard the name. The girl was correct. In the records, ‘Hanan’ was the Goddess of the Sun, eldest daughter of the Great Creator Bathala, said to be one of the most powerful second-generation gods.Ley who had even known about the nearly lost knowledge of the local ancient Underworld rituals co

...He turned into a 'higher being' but knew nothing about them. Ley asked himself, 'Are goddesses so whimsical? Some are violent to the extreme and some beyond generous?’"Julia, I wish to know. Is everyone on the island aware what this place is? Are they also Anitos or supernatural beings?"The maid replied, "Young master. Most of the villagers are people with pure hearts or supernatural abilities. But everyone excluding the three masters of the governing mansion is merely human."It felt like he had asked something already answered before. He shook his head and sought out Hana and old man Fernando.“Hello, I plan to check out the village and sightsee. Old man, you coming?”Hana raised a hand. “I’ll go. I want to try out my abilities at the village.”The girl was being generous for offering a real demonstration of what she had learned so far.She added. "You know, before the goddess left fo

...When the three returned to the mansion, dinner was already served on the table. The two men who were not used to the insane efficiency of the servants that bordered an ESP exchanged glances."The food smells good." Old man Fernando could only say to diffuse the awkward silence.The two others nodded. Anyway, the dishes indeed looked and smelled appetizing, if they would focus on it and not mind the number of people surrounding them, that was.When they sat at the long table, Ley could not help but peek at Hana. He could not help but wonder if, for the past sixth months, she ate by herself watched by more than five pairs of eyes. When he imagined himself taking her place, the resulting scene made him never want to consider the idea again."Please enjoy." He heard the old man's butler spoke.Like she had rehearsed it a thousand times, Hana elegantly picked up her utensils and filled up her plate with the dishes she wanted

The Ascension Chapter 153: Actual Cause
"Once upon a time, it was known that the God of Fire, who was one of the oldest Anitos in the Skyworld, hated the Devils so much because these creatures' ruler, and if one might say, the greatest ruler in history, had killed his beloved wife, a demi-god who used to hold the Law of Harvest."A voice echoed in a small dark room that was being occupied by two people. Two men. One wearing a red cloak that appeared to be burning and flowing at the same time, like lava. The other was wearing a pure white knight garment that seemed to be from the medieval times. The face of the former was hidden by his cloak plus he was bowing a little so his features were not visible. As for the other, the knight appeared to be not afraid to be recognize hence he did not even wear a mask to this meeting. He had blonde hair and brown eyes, and fairly handsome. However, that face of his was not what people who knew a little about history would notice, but the insignia on his breastplate, a symb
The Ascension Chapter 152: A Visiting Knight
The Goddess actually had no use for the weak anito called Ley. Yet at the same time, she was not one to back out from her words. Although she sometimes do not play by Heaven's rule, she was one to demand equivalent exchange when needed. In other words, she was one who always upheld fairness.Her vow from almost a year ago was only to protect and provide guidance for Ley, the unknowing human whose fate had been severed completely from the Underworld due to her bet with Mayari. The young human forever lost the chance to reincarnate so as compensation, she used one of her quotas in ascending a being to godhood as compensation. She did the same to the old man who had been dragged to the mess. Of course, another questionable karma that she gained for doing these was causing Ley and Fernando to be rejected by the natural Laws since they did not become anitos through their own efforts. As another compensation, She decided to leave one of her mortal vessels there to act as thei
The Ascension Chapter 151: Condition
"Welcome back, Your Highness." Loud and clear, the voices of everyone else in the place echoed at the same time."We're most gladdened to be in Your Highness' presence again." They chorused.Ley slowly lifted his gaze up and saw that the person they greeted matched the appearance that was in his memories.A body of a girl in her late teens. Black hair that reached past her waist. Lean figure that was almost as skinny as some models in regular fashion shows. A face that was certainly above average, but not that excessive as to make one feel that she was the most beautiful in the world.Hana's figure appeared right above the statue depicting the Goddess of the Sun, a statue of a beautiful woman in a flowing dress crowned with a tiara shaped like the rays of the sun. The statue was massive and was in a giving pose, with her hands stretched outwards like it was offering the sun to the world. Hana appeared in those stretched out palms.
The Ascension Chapter 150: The Request
Time passed. In the mortal realm, a week had already gone by.Ley and Baram who had come to the western side of the globe to meet the Goddess was met with utmost care in their reception there. Ley had a hunch that the Goddess predicted that he would come here, either to give thanks or ask for Fernando's location so She left a message to the ones in the Blood Lake Castle to welcome them in.However, like Fernando who was made to wait for the Underworld god, they too, were made to wait for the return of the Goddess as she had long left before they arrived and the servants left there had no idea when she would drop by. These all brought endless frustrations to Ley. Yet he was not one with a close mind. He knew that the affairs of somebody high up like Hanan was not something that normal deities like him could imagine. Not to mention that Baram and the others in the castle already explained how serious of a matter an attempted Devil Sacrifice was.
The Ascension Chapter 149: Their First Meeting
"Home, huh?" The werehorse anito servicing under the Chief Deity of the Underworld, Sitan, was a bit absentminded as he recalled the conversation he just had with the human anito brought to the palace by his god. A few hours already passed since then. The werehorse anito had also just finished his duties and made sure that the entire palace was spotlessly clean and organize.The person he just spoke to was just a weak old human who possessed the Gift to command animals which was not really impressive as there were a few already who had the same ability, not to mention, those who hailed from the animal species had better control of those they could command.Nothing was interesting about the old human anito. Although he was silent about it, as he was one who was loyal to the Chief Deity and was extremely conscious not to question the deity's words, in his heart, he was actually wondering why His Highness became interested in Fernando to the point that he personally
The Ascension Chapter 148: Longing For Home
While the two immediately set off for another country, they had no idea that the very reason that they were doing so was not really in danger, unlike what they had been assuming all this time.Fernando was just really teleported to another place so that a proper conversation could take place between them without interruption. He was in good condition and was even invited to the best and grandest place in the Underworld, the Palace of Soul owned by none other than His Highness Sitan himself.As for the reason why? Who knows.The old man did not ask. After discovering the identity of the other, he became very silent, and careful with his words. Or rather, he would not dare ask the man his real purpose for doing this since like Ley to the presence of the angel, Fernando immediately became cautious and conscious of his own status as he had learned that the person was not merely a strong anito, but an actual Underworld god.'What are th

No fight actually took place. That was what Ley had heard from the Tree Deity. However, it was already said earlier. The person could forcefully teleport somebody over to another dimension or realm without leaving a trace that even he, Ley, the Road Deity, could peer into. This revealed that the abductor was of higher power level than him. Baram too said that he did not really dare to get close to the place as the man's aura was simply really intimidating. Oh, not really intimidating. But aloof, yet majestic. It reminded him of the lions that sometimes crossed his territory. The loftiness that was exuded by the man was intense, it could make others subconsciously bow to him.'What kind of being is that?'Ley could not help but wonder this after hearing all the flashy descriptions.His thoughts, that time, were very obvious.But to be fair, Baram himself could not believe that he felt like that towards a fellow Anito.After t
The Ascension Chapter 146: When It Is Broken
What was Sam looking for? Why was he sporting such a stressed expression?Ley stood a few meters behind Sam and noticed that the person's mouth was moving, yet no sound was reverberating in the place.Tilting his head sideward, Ley finally called him out, "Sam?"The butler was visibly startled, which showed on his face when he turned around and met Ley's gaze. "Young Master!" He shouted.However, no sound reached Ley's ears.It turned out that while Sam could hear Ley's footsteps and voice, the latter could not. Confusion flickered in Ley's eyes. This was a fact he realized after watching the movements of the butler's lips, which obviously mouthed his usual honorifics of him.Then when Sam dashed towards him, that was when he noticed that there was something different with the place around the butler. The butler managed to pass through him. Also, although subtle and almost unnoticeable, the area looked like a di
The Ascension Chapter 145: No Path
As a butler, Sam' service to House Hevel was extremely short and not worthy of a mention. Not even a year. However, since birth, he had been an extremely devout of the Three Goddesses, patrons of Island Ophir. Born to a fairly big clan in the village, one that had a history of producing elders and chiefs, he was one of the lucky ones given the qualifications to enter the palace at the summit of the mountain. But it took him several years to be promoted from a mere servant boy to an actual authority amongst servants, which he did through wits and perseverance, and he was very proud of what he had achieved.His clan's rule, or more like, motto was this, 'Always, for the Three Celestial Goddesses'.No matter how empty and cheerless the palace was, it would always be his joy to tend to it as a form of obeisance to the beloved Goddesses.What were his thoughts when he was suddenly assigned to serve three Anitos that had seemingly popped out of nowhere?W
