The Ascension Chapter 33: Daring
…Getting past the outer security was harder than convincing the target to let Hana try to heal him. And it was proven a bit wrong when they met the person in a brightly lit reception room full of classical decorations and paintings.Armand Razon was a man in his early or mid-seventies, yet due to wearing a frown all day long, he seemed like in the same generation as Old Fernando who died in his late eighties. Decades of experience in politics and business made his aura very domineering. Ley was okay, but Hana was from a completely humble origin so despite being a higher being now, she still felt intimidated for a moment.“Greetings, Mr. Razon.” It was Ley who broke the tense atmosphere with a polite smile.The old man did not invite them to sit and did not even return the greetings. Age gave him the senior mentality that made him think no matter how superior looking a youth was, they would always be his junior that would have to pay him respect.“I gave you two time. I also appreciate

...In the meeting that just took place, the latter conversation became a bit smoother since the old man finally believed that they were not really human.Think about it. Which human could bring people elsewhere in a matter of seconds without them noticing?“So what are you two?” Armand managed to ask after regaining control over his slightly trembling lips.He asked because, although it was nighttime, the two did not appear like ghosts in his eyes. Armand only reached his current age with so many ups and downs in his life, but this was the first time he encountered people like them whose appearances can't get captured by the lens.He was looking to his right side.They were now in his personal working office, and the monitor atop the desktop connected to the surveillance cameras showed that the faces of the two people before him were featureless. And oh, it was not that they had no eyes, brows, nose, and lips.

...Ley only let Hana heal the old man when the latter signed the contract and promised to be their buyer and distributor for whatever products they would offer in the future. He said 'whatever products' since this might not be limited to gold. There were various commodities that could be exported from Ophir. Even if those things were not transported over, Ley was not lacking in ambition, so he would surely venture to other businesses. Hana too had a high likelihood of dabbling into pharmaceutical work, and might develop some skincare products, herbal medicine, etc. Armand’s side would have to distribute everything to potential consumers and help in whatever ways he could.

...Hana woke up around 9 am. It was a rare sunny morning of their country's usually rainy June.When she walked down the small staircase, the first person she looked for was, as usual, Ley. She caught sight of him seated comfortably in the living room, and he was watching some sort of movie. For her, who had quite the meticulous and no-nonsense image in her mind, it was quite unbelievable. Her eyes widened a bit and her mouth formed a small 'o' for a while.‘So he’s not thinking of work all the time.’ The girl then giggled, finally remembering that the guy was only three to four years older than her. She teased, “How come the family head is idling away now?”With a tap of his finger, he paused the funny stand-up comedy playing on the screen. He did this all instinctively, alarmed by the girl’s voice.Ley looked up sideway. His eyes were seemingly asking, 'Family head? Who?'As she was wearing her outdoor shoes, her footsteps echoed loudly. Her eyes were on the ground as she carefully

...Ley wished for the visitors to arrive before 4 pm and somehow, it happened. Armand Razon was escorted outside by a man in his early to mid-forties. There were no other people who came with them. The middle-aged man served as a driver and an assistant. But given their resemblance to each other, it was not hard to guess that they were father or son, or close relatives. The old man roamed his eyes around. A hint of disbelief flickered across his eyes as he found something a bit unbelievable. Those miracle-makers lived in this place?It was a large bungalow house with a partial second floor built into a sloped roof that could not look any more normal from the outside. Verandahs and gardens surrounded the main building. The wires outside indicated that it was dependent on electricity and internet provider... And that was it. Armand was a bit unsettled because from the outside, it looked like only a normal above average family lived in it. He could not help but mumble, "What a humble

...Only when Ley visited his parents again, or more like, took a glimpse of them from afar that he realized the great blunder he had just committed.The realization made him very unsettled, so instead of going to the bridge near the mall after leaving the Baler's mansion, he paid the Razons a visit.

...As it was still early, Ley did not go to the bridge or the hospital. He also did not lead his adoptive sister to the churches to advertise their version of holy water. No. That would definitely only invite trouble or fierce scolding from the priests and pastors. As deities themselves, it also sounded like stupidity to give authentic miracle items to devotees of other religions.“Brother Ley, it’s weird. It’s drizzling even though the sun is still up.”&ldq

...While the two were holding the fort in the capital, they had no idea that the old man accompanied only by the butler Sam, had had an undesirable encounter with some non-human creatures on the road back from the City of Pines.

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
The Ascension Chapter 147: The Desire For Freedom
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
