The Ascension Leave
Hello everyone, sorry, your author is ill today.I tried to write some but I could not finish an entire chap. Tomorrow, once I get better, I'd make sure to give a full update. For now, I'll post a teaser of the next chapter. Thanks for the understanding. Stay safe and healthy....Fernando and Hana knew about Ley’s actions. The lad had already discussed it with them and they actually had no opinion about it as all of them were free to try out methods that would work best for them.

...Several days later, when some horror stories began to spread on the internet, stories that collectively mentioned the name Ley Baler and his abilities to help people evade accidents of bad spirits, Hana and Fernando were not surprised.Fernando and Hana knew about the reason behind Ley’s actions. The lad had already discussed it with them and they actually had no opinion about it, as all of them were free to try out methods that would work best for them.Hana was actually supportive of the idea since she was more than aware how hard it was for Ley to move about with his Gift. Ley said, “My method won’t likely work on you, or even if it works, it would only bring you trouble. In my case, even if people badmouth me and think of me as a fraud, I won’t be bothered much since even if they go after me and locate me, which would be a miracle if it happens, I would be able to easily run away from them.” When Ley first told Hana and Fernando about the rumors that he intentionally spread,

Luck. Luck seemed to be always on an Anitos side, especially on normal occasions when all they were dealing with were normal people.Ley was in a good mood as he entered the Goddess' palace, the gigantic residence given, or more like in his cognition, 'lent' to them. He really marveled at the generosity of the Goddess and even though he knew there was a catch somewhere, which he suspected lied on making them Her servants or followers, he was no longer as against. Ley recognized the favor and felt that if he would ever have the fortune to see this elusive Goddess, he would make sure to do his part to return the favor.A day quickly passed. He toured the village and interacted with some eager residents there. He also commissioned a sculptor to carve for him a miniature version of the newly built statues in the mansion. Before deciding to head back to Manila on the eve of the following day, he first made sure to fetch the mini statues.Since he ha

A MINI THEATERSetting: At the simple garden of the Hevel Residence, the three masters of the house gathered for a simple tea session. It was a sunny afternoon, the exact time was 3:14 pm, the movement of the rays of sun that passed through the gaps of the leaves of the tall trees surrounding the bungalow were so beautiful to watch against the natural backdrop of green and brown. It was the perfect place and time for relaxation.Scene: Three deities talking amongst each other about Ley's most recent discovery.Ley: I have just tested it and I found that Anitos, even us who ascended in an unnatural way, could really hear the pleas and prayers of people.Hana: It's cool.Ley: I know. If my guess is correct, we only hear two types of prayers. Prayers directly mentioning us, or prayers under the scope of, or related to our Gift.Fernando: Oh. Interesting? How is it then? I couldn't try it because my believers are animals.

...Learning that a deity's symbol, for an Anito with not much divine power, a sculpture molded to their likeness, could enable them to hear prayers made Ley's life easier. Since then, he was frequently outside. As long as those calling out for him were nearby, he would go there without fail. Although the cases were few, there were really those helped out by him and some of these people, upon hearing his name and seeing his masked face would spread the word to everyone they could.Upon encountering something unusual, people always want to share the experience with those around them to stifle the excitement, or fear, if it was something supernatural. As more and more individuals shared various experiences about fatal accidents that got evaded by the sudden appearance of a road or a pathway, more and more people came to hear the name 'Ley'. It was said that he would appear if you called for his name before a road accident. Or if you were feeling like you needed some directions to get to

...A messenger from another Anito came. Ley and the two other masters of the house did not see the person, but a letter did appear on their mailbox.When Sam picked it up, his pupils immediately dilated seeing that it was addressed to the house owners. Their actual names were written at the back. The letter came from overseas and the sender was somebody with a foreign-sounding name. However, he knew this place and the name of the masters. That was how the butler immediately knew that the other party must be somebody with ties to a transcendent being or a transcendent being himself.As Fernando the one at home at that time, he was the first to see the contents of the letter. Even the usually carefree and careless him knitted his brows at the message he had read. He did not hesitate to telephone Ley and Hana. The two youths promptly went home, the girl did not even care if she had to request an emergency leave from her homeroom teacher."

...An hour after their return to the capital, when the cloud was blocking the moonlight from gracing a particular house. "What does an esteemed Anito of the Land need from a humble old witch like me?" Suspicious eyes cast themselves on a youth who looked like a regular human. The witch was dressed in a dark-brown, blackish overall, her figure appeared especially ominous at a backdrop of darkness that was only illuminated by a single flickering blue light. However, the wariness that her wrinkled contours displayed lessened the eeriness that was supposed to come from her. A witch who usually frightened even fierce creatures of the dark stood in the middle of her own humble wooden abode, alertly looking at Ley whose aura intimidated her and the dark powers inside her. Ley gave the witch a look, his face did not reveal any thoughts but his chest heaving slightly which the latter perceived as a natural reaction from being disgusted by something dirty. The old woman became more alert an

...It was the first time Ley had heard about the existence of the Devil Realm. Although it did not show on his face, he was puzzled. He did not ask as he was not stupid to not know that the mentioned place could not be good. However, he was indeed distracted. 'Is that the reason why Baram felt like it would be no good to offend that Deity from the Blood Lake?' 'Disregarding that fellow Anito of ours, how come a Skyworld high god dares to make a connection to somebody from the shady side?'The witch explained. She started with the honorific that she arbitrarily chose to flatter Ley. "Your Excellency."He hummed, eyes on the wooden surface of the table. "I would like to clarify that this is only a rumor. I only heard about in passing from some other high ranked creatures like me. You should be aware that our universe has four Great Worlds. The Realm of the Deities ruled by the Court of Bathala, the Skyworld. The Realm of the Deceased ruled by His Highness Sitan, the Underworld. The

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
