Ascendant Among All Chapter 39 (Rage mode)
As Jeremy landed after his strike, he felt a surge of triumph coursing through him. His plan had worked, giving both he and Owen an opening.He had managed to land a blow on the beast, cutting through its flesh and eliciting a howl of pain. But before he could savor the moment, the ape’s furious gaze locked onto him, its eyes burning with wrath. “Watch out!” Owen shouted, still reeling from the earlier blows, but pushing himself back into the fray. The vampire’s movements were becoming more frantic, desperate to protect Jeremy from the impending onslaught. Jeremy barely had time to react before the beast lunged at him, its massive fists swinging with a ferocity that could shatter mountains. He ducked just in time, feeling the rush of air as the ape’s fist missed him by inches, crashing into the ground and sending dirt and debris flying. “Come on, Jeremy! Focus!” Owen yelled, his voice strained but resolute. “We need to outsmart it! It’s stronger now!”Jeremy felt frustration bubbl

Jeremy felt the weight of the katana in his hand, its blade gleaming with a fierce light that seemed to respond to the energy of the user. He aimed for the beast’s left arm, where he had previously cut tendons. “Let’s see if I can finish what I started!” he thought, slashing his katana with all his might.The blade connected with a satisfying thud, carving through the ape's flesh and eliciting another deafening roar of pain. Blood sprayed from the wound, and for a moment, Jeremy felt a rush of exhilaration. He had landed a decisive hit, and the beast was staggered once more.“Jeremy, keep it distracted!” Owen called out, trying to regain his footing after the earlier assault. The vampire was still recovering from the brutal impact against the tree, but he was pushing himself to rise, determination etched on his face.“Got it!” Jeremy replied, working to keep the beast’s attention on him. He darted around the ape, weaving in and out of its massive limbs, striking whenever the opportu

“Just a little closer…” Jeremy grunted, finally managing to grasp the key. The moment he felt the cool metal in his hand, a wave of relief washed over him. He could still turn the tide if he could just find a way to use it.Jeremy focused on the key, feeling its power surge through him. “Owen, I’m coming!” he yelled, preparing to activate the dimensional key to give them a chance to regroup.But the beast had other plans. It had spotted Jeremy moving, its eyes narrowing as it honed in on the vulnerable target, charging toward him with terrifying speed.“Jeremy! Get out of the way!” Owen shouted, panic flooding his voice as he saw the impending doom.In a split second, Jeremy made a choice. He could either run or stand his ground. “I won’t run,” he declared, before the beast sent him crashing into another rock once again.Owen stood alone, the creature loomed over him, its massive form a tempest of fury and strength. Each strike against it had been met with relentless force, and Owen
Ascendant Among All Chapter 42 (Insane)
**[B ranked beast has been defeated]****[Wave 2 has been completed]****[Wave 3/7 underway]****[User has ascended]****[User can now choose to quit wave in-game]**“Wait, so even if I had used the dimensional key, I wouldn’t have been able to escape earlier?” Jeremy pondered, the weight of the battle still hanging in the air. “I really would have died if not for the old man.”“You know, Blackthorn was a natural leader, even though he was quite crazy in the head,” Owen remarked, his heavy breathing disrupting the flow of his words as he leaned against a nearby tree for support, the remnants of their recent struggle evident in his demeanor.“What was his goal? What did he aim to achieve so badly that he went to such extremes?” Jeremy inquired, curiosity flaring within him.“That I cannot tell you, kid. The mention of it could destroy your life. I'd rather you remain oblivious to it,” Owen replied, his tone serious, a shadow crossing his face.“Still, you know nothing can beat curiosit

“Not much left,” Jeremy grunted, slashing through another giant fowl, feeling the resistance of its feathers give way beneath his blade. “We can do this, Owen!”But just as they thought victory was within reach, one of the fowls let out a furious caw, rallying the remaining beasts. They charged in a united front, their beaks snapping and wings flapping with renewed fury. “Chickens!” Owen shouted, instinctively moving closer to Jeremy. He threw needles with desperation, each one aimed with precision, but the sheer number of beasts began to overwhelm them. The air thickened with the scent of blood, and the cacophony of squawking filled their ears.*> <*“Here!” Jeremy shouted as he slashed through the last of the fowls, a wild swing that sent blood spraying across the ground, soaking Owen’s legs. The last chicken crumpled to the earth, its beady eyes rolling back, and for a moment, silence fell over the battlefield.**[Wave 3 has been completed]****[Wave 4/7 underway]****[User can n
Ascendant Among All Chapter 44 (A haunting legacy)
**Reason for loan acquisition: Colwill Blackthorn**As Jeremy absorbed the chilling information from Burke Washington, he felt a shiver run down his spine. The mention of Blackthorn’s name sent a wave of unease through him. “So Blackthorn is indeed involved with all this,” he thought, his mind racing. The implications were staggering. If Blackthorn had ties to his family and their dealings, what did that mean for him now that Blackthorn was gone? “What should I do next?” he pondered, feeling the weight of the decision pressing down on him. Should he reach out to his uncle for more information? Confront Jessica about keeping it a secret? Or perhaps speak with his mom or Celicia to uncover the truth? The thought of pretending to be oblivious crossed his mind, but it felt disingenuous. His thoughts drifted to Owen. “I want to inform Owen of this,” he mused, but skepticism crept into his mind. “What if Owen is also manipulating me? What if he’s aiming for something else?” The uncert
Ascendant Among All Chapter 45 (Improvements)
As Jeremy stood before the imposing entrance of the Dark Horses Guild, he pulled his pullover hood down, shrouding his face in shadows before stepping inside. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation, and a low murmur of voices greeted him as he crossed the threshold.“Welcome, Jeremy! We were almost about to send the participants,” Jessica said, her voice bright yet tinged with urgency. Despite her warm welcome, Jeremy remained silent, maintaining his poker face, a mask of indifference that concealed the myriad of thoughts swirling within him. In a bid to keep his defenses intact and to center himself, he decided to check his system. The familiar holographic interface materialized before his eyes:---**[User rank: B-]**- **Strength (STR)** - 30 (+15)- **Agility (AGI)** - 45 (+35)- **Vitality (VIT)** - 28 (+20)- **Intelligence (INT)** - 10 (+9)- **Charisma (CHA)** - Nil- **Luck (LUK)** - 30 (+22)- **Stamina (STA)** - 25 (+16)- **Experience Points (EXP)** - 580,000/1,000,000
Ascendant Among All Chapter 46 (An order)
Days earlier, after reporting the contract situation to the guild master, he had requested Jeremy’s details, including his school and mission history. After careful analysis, the guild master had deemed it necessary for Jeremy to take on another dangerous mission, but this time with more scrutiny. The issue surrounding Blackthorn loomed over them, and they could only wait and watch for the right moment to act.Jessica cleared her throat, drawing everyone’s attention back to her. "We are going to raid a B-rank dungeon; however, it’s filled with C-ranked beasts according to reports. I’m going to send the seven of you, which includes you, Jeremy," she announced, her gaze steady.His eyes met Jessica’s, and a brief tension enveloped the atmosphere between them. She seemed to be assessing him, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was hiding something."Wait! Jeremy? The last mission nearly killed him and even got Stella killed. Now you want him in a B-rank dungeon?" Warhuz interjec

Chapter 160 (The Unyielding Titan)
The air around them crackled with an oppressive, unnatural tension as Typhon stood motionless, towering over the battlefield like a living storm. His eyes, glowing like molten fire, were locked onto McCoy and his guild, his cold expression betraying no hint of mercy.A grotesque, unsettling noise filled the air. Typhon made an odd, guttural sound, and slowly, methodically, he stuck his massive hand down his throat. The movement was unnatural, almost alien, as he dug deeper, pulling something from within him. The sound of slick, greasy slime slithering over the ground followed, enough to make anyone with a semblance of sensitivity to retch.“Nu-ah...” Typhon muttered in an unsettling tone, his voice resonating deeply as his monstrous hand gripped the hilt of a weapon.From his throat emerged a sword—an absurdly long and grotesque blade, dripping with thick, viscous fluid. It was no ordinary weapon. The blade itself seemed to pulse, radiating a malevolent energy that made the air feel t
Chapter 159 (A Call to Retreat)
The flames didn’t stop with Jim. The fiery blast tore through the air, its heat warping the atmosphere. Buildings miles away were scorched clean, their facades riddled with perfectly circular holes as though a god’s spear had pierced them. Those not incinerated crumbled from the sheer force of the blast, collapsing in a cacophony of destruction.Even McCoy, standing far from the epicenter, felt the intense heat lick at his skin. His magically enhanced senses allowed him to track the blast’s trajectory, and what he saw sent chills down his spine.The devastation extended far beyond the city, leaving a trail of ruin in its wake. Streets buckled, trees withered to ash, and the ground itself cracked and smoldered. All of this happened in less than five seconds, yet the aftermath stretched for miles.A cold sweat ran down McCoy’s back as the reality of Typhon’s power sunk in. His hands trembled as he took in the scope of the destruction, but he forced himself to stay composed.“This isn’t
Chapter 158 (The Gambler’s Wager)
McCoy stood frozen, his mind racing through every piece of mythology he had ever read. His analytical nature warred with his instincts, both screaming at him to act but in entirely different ways.Before him stood Typhon—the youngest son of Gaia, a monster of unparalleled power. A being feared even by gods, Typhon’s mere presence warped the air, bending it to his will. His form loomed over the battlefield, a tempest of chaotic energy swirling around him."The youngest son of Gaia," McCoy said, forcing his voice to remain steady. "Surely you do not want to destroy a part of yourself."Typhon’s glowing eyes narrowed, his thunderous voice reverberating like an earthquake. "Huh? It seems this young mortal here is a fan of mine.""You could say that," McCoy replied, wiping the sweat rolling down his temple.He wasn’t lying. Since childhood, McCoy had immersed himself in the stories of gods and monsters, legends and myths that spanned cultures and centuries. Much to his parents’ dismay, he
Chapter 157 (Exhaustion)
Elijah stood firm, his voice steady despite his labored breathing. “Fighting isn’t just about brute strength,” he declared, his words cutting through the chaos. “Sometimes, wisdom outmatches power.”The words had barely left Elijah’s mouth when a deafening blast tore through the battlefield.Soren’s body was flung backward, forced deeper into the earth as concentric circles of light—white, gold, and red—engulfed him. Each explosion was more devastating than the last, the ground shattering beneath him in a cascading storm of debris.The battlefield transformed into a massive crater, the destruction extending for miles. Smoke and fire erupted from the epicenter, painting the sky in ominous hues.From a distance, Elijah and James watched the chaos unfold. They panted heavily, their bodies trembling from exhaustion. Blood dripped from their wounds, pooling beneath them as they knelt on the cracked earth.“Did we get him?” James asked, his voice hoarse and uncertain.Elijah didn’t respond
Chapter 156 (A Deadly Dance)
Two figures stood amidst the wreckage of a city torn apart by their power. One radiated a blinding, ethereal light, while the other exuded a suffocating darkness that seemed to pulse with a life of its own. Their combined presence created a storm of energy that rippled outward, shaking the city to its very core and filling the air with a foreboding sense of impending doom.“Yo,” James sneered, his voice carrying a sinister edge. The shadowy aura around him writhed and twisted like a living entity, its tendrils snaking across the ground as if searching for prey.Soren stood across from him, grinning wickedly. His red aura flared with malevolent energy, a living flame that seemed to consume the air itself. A glowing crimson rod formed in his hand, jagged and pulsating with chaotic energy, its shape constantly shifting like molten lava.“This is going to be fun,” Soren declared, his voice dripping with sadistic glee.The moment the words left his mouth, the ground beneath them shattered.
Chapter 155 (The Last Stand)
The battlefield was chaos incarnate, the ground trembling under the immense force of their clash. Elijah stood amidst the destruction, his chest heaving with ragged breaths. His once-pristine white suit was now in tatters, his body marred by countless bruises and cuts. Yet, his eyes burned with an unyielding resolve.Across from him stood Soren, his figure exuding an aura of superiority. His crimson gloves gleamed ominously, his sly grin a cruel mockery of the man struggling before him.“You sure are strong for a mortal stuck in the A-rank,” Soren remarked casually, his voice dripping with condescension as he adjusted the base of his gloves.Elijah didn’t respond immediately, his mind racing as he worked to suppress the pain from his injuries. The earlier kick had done significant damage, and he knew he couldn’t afford to falter now.“Twenty minutes,” he thought, focusing his energy inward to heal his ravaged organs. “That’s all I need to buy him. Just twenty minutes.”Soren cocked hi
Chapter 154 (Terror)
James stirred in the rubble, the sharp sting of pain dragging him back to consciousness. Blood trickled down his face, pooling beneath him, and his entire body felt as though it had been shattered and pieced back together. His breaths came in shallow gasps, each one a struggle against the suffocating weight of debris and exhaustion.“Damn it,” he thought bitterly, his mind swimming in a haze of fragmented memories."Since I was young, I knew I was different. Special." James’s thoughts drifted to a distant past, a time when the world had been simpler. "I was born into wealth, into privilege. My family wanted for nothing, and from the moment I could walk, it was clear I wasn’t like the others."By six, James wasn’t just strong; he was superhuman. His punches could break walls, and his reflexes were unmatched. But with that strength came isolation."I terrified the other kids," he thought. "They couldn’t understand me. My silence, my ferocious gaze, the way I always got what I wanted—it
Chapter 153 (Stalling)
Soren descended gracefully, his crimson aura swirling around him like a living entity. His polished red gloves caught the dim light, and he dusted them off as if brushing away imaginary dirt. His gaze fixed on Elijah, a sneer tugging at his lips.“Insolent being,” he scoffed, his voice carrying an air of disdain. “How many times must I remind the world? I’ve stood at the peak of S rank for over a century. The strongest gods are just within my grasp. To think someone like you could challenge me… it’s laughable.”Elijah stood firm, his calm demeanor masking the storm within. “I agree with you,” he said, his tone steady. “Your power is extraordinary. But, you see, I’m not exactly ordinary myself.”Soren raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite himself.“I’ve been stuck at the peak of A rank for over two decades,” Elijah continued. “And just as the A rank is a bridge to the heroic ranks, S rank serves as the gateway to divinity. You stand at the edge of godhood, but even the gods have their l
Chapter 152 (Wasteland)
The city of Texheram was no more than a smoldering wasteland. What once stood as a bustling metropolis was now a graveyard of shattered buildings and burning rubble. The streets, once filled with life, were eerily silent except for the crackling of flames and the occasional cries for help. The sky was a murky gray, thick with ash, and the faint glow of fires illuminated the chaos below. It was in this hellscape that Soren stood, embodying the destruction he had wrought.Perched on the edge of a crumbling skyscraper, Soren exuded a terrifying aura of dominance. His crimson attire, immaculate despite the carnage, caught the flickering light of the fires, and his tousled hair danced with the breeze. In his grasp was a woman, her neck clutched tightly in his hand. She gasped for air, her struggles feeble against the overwhelming strength of her captor.“Isn’t the weather splendid today?” Soren said with a grin that stretched unnaturally wide. His voice was calm, almost cheerful, yet laced
