2024-10-29 19:42:56Heyyyy.... Author Reader interaction here.
First of all, thank you for reading this book. Special shout out goes to Lathawn. This amazing reader reached out to make me pick up the pace of updating. Even though I did not always update as early as possible [school stuff], I always had the double chapters in mind, because of him.
I think I stuck to that, actually.
Alright, fun aside.
Here is my view on my book because why not? I am my own reader as well.
[SPOILERS OF BOOK 1 HERE! Pls read BK 1 before reading this chapter]!
!!!!! !!!!!
First of all, I think it is very sad that Ronke had to die. Makes me feel bad. In Book 1, Tangera was killed. Commander Eno. Now, Book 2, ROnke goes as well? The question on my lips now is, who is next? Who is next in line to go as well?
I am not a maniac and I hate that they have to go out. But for the progression of the plot, some things have to happen. And Hey, I'm not the one who told Ronke to play a Gambit there... She could have used a technique, she had the power of the Elementals to use too but she did not.
I guess when we are in a tight corner, we hardly choose what is convenient for us because we really cannot think extensively at that moment. Our body just moves on its own. I guess I explained that in the intro excerpts, right?
Personal analysis on the characters.
I love Bayo. Would always pick him over the other characters but hey, he is a major character in a world where someone else can be the major character as well.
Once they assimilate Bayo, they have his birthright automatically, so that is how this works.
From Fair Weather. We saw how Bayo stepped up to leadership roles quickly. Compared to book one, I would say; Bayo has improved a lot.
No more a scared ascender just trying to survive. He was strong enough to pull a crowd already.
And on top of that, he had two girls. Two into him. XD Hehe.
It's just not funny how Yasmin was able to take advantage of his soul at the point of Ronke's death. Yasmin has to go. That's for sure. He has to go. He is hogging too much of Bayo's spotlight. X(
----
Ronke.
My second choice: Familiar but hey, she had to go. I mean, too many love interests for Bayo would not make his love life grow. We saw how he wanted to avoid conflict by not affiliating with either of them on the ship, right?
Ronke was an exceptional leader. She knew how to call the shots. She also sacrificed herself for others too. I love her for that.
----
Hana
She had to learn from Ronke that life was not war. At least , not always. There had to be times when you had to take the seat and just relax through life. Try to understand some things before you jump all out in battle.
Sure, Diplomacy is not foolproof but hey, it's worth the try, right?
Hana is strong willed. Super strong willed. She refused to use Ashabi in the wave. Imagine that.
-----
SHIN/SHINO
The Hadjan with the most background roles so far. I mean, since after Fair weather He was a great teacher for Bayo but he just did not feature so much in the front lines.
You know why? Nobody did it better than him. Which is why next time, Shin is hogging that spotlight.
And oh, the way he made his techniques feel like pieces of cake, come onnnnnnn...
Shin was the real bomb. I think Shin can hand the ass of The Hand of the Sect over to him.
My thoughts too. Hehe.

Ken

This guy did not have a spotlight like that. Himself and SPyder played love almost through their appearance. But he makes for good comic relief. Like when he tried to kiss Spyder and got slapped?
That was the best highlight for me. XD
Spyder,
On the other hand, it has a bad choice of name for a start. Like can you find a name that does not give out who you are? Lol
I think she is too realistic for my liking. Like she wants to move on, at the end? Come on, I would be honest, I did not like that.
------
Ascend or die.
Initially, I was looking for some character dev between Bayo and the rest. But towards the latter part, I had to remind myself that hey... come on... We still have Trixius, The Mad Prime, in the corner.
He is not gone so you got to spin back on plot. Thankfully, the stage ground of Familiar Realms set the mood for that.
I miss Trixius. Would love to have seen him cameo for more times than he did here. Which would happen because somehow, we need to face our own dreaded enemies for what they are.
That being said, I hope you learnt something from Ascenders. If you don't get what you want at first, never stop reaching.
That's the whole spin of this. I would love for the world to get better if we all believed.
BELIEVE!
----
That should be it. I love writing this book 2 and, all things being equal, I look forward to answering the unanswered questions the ending has brought in another book. Lol.
But for now, I should take a break and spoil myself. Writing over 40k words in one week? Jeez! My head is toast as of now. Lol.
---
---
In the meantime, you could always read my books, right?
Poisedon's Kiss
Ascenders; Rising from Zero (if you haven't.. xd)
I have other books but I won't mention them here.
If you want a spin on them, go for them. Search my name out the search engines, you'd see the other titles and social media pages.
But for now, I need to watch some movies. My head is toast. Lol.
See you when the Ascenders rise again.
Meanwhile….
Ascend or Die… The Mad Prime Awaits!

"Hi, are you two the ones Eno sent? I am Ronke. Is that the charge?" Ronke asked, moving to touch the cart. "Hey, hands off!" Shin growled, slapping her hands off. In terms of height, Ronke, the 5.7ft Familiar only had a few inches taller than Hana and Shin, making her like a big sister with her calculative eyes and calm smile. However, in comparison to other spirit beings, the trio were actually short as most spirit beings had their average height from 7ft and above. "Who are you?" Hana gritted, pointing the tip of her thin, long blade at Ronke's neck. "Okay, okay! I'm so tired, let's not resort to violence. " Ronke backed out with her two hands in surrender. She rubbed the little finger with the ring. Light glowered and then, on the other hand, the orb, the same orb she used before appeared. She repeated the same motions, clocking and tapping the orb under the watchful gaze of the two. Soon enough, light formed a screen and in

Ascenders: Rising To Hero 6. Prologue
Bayo stood in shock, in his soul space. He could not connect with the physical, no matter how much he tried his best. It was as if he had been cut off.And right before him, the enormous ball for energy which continuously pulsed, the representation of his soul was in for worse. What used to be vibrant and bright was barely a thinned out ball of almost darkened substance. And all through the form of it, several cracks ruptured about it, the black miasma once again, trying to connect the pieces together as an adhesive. However, try as hard as it could, it could barely salvage the situation, the best achievable was a stalemate. Several strands of miasma rush out to catch the breakaway pieces of the soul, reattaching them to the main part before shooting out again to catch some new breakaways.A hand latched to the shoulder of the frightened Bayo, making him turn his back now.'I warned you, Bayo. I did. This is the result of ignoring the Soul Adaptation period. You
Ascenders: Rising To Hero Chapter 1//7: Welcome To FairWeather
The ship was in for the worse. It was pretty much obvious that it had surely seen so many better days than the one which it was in. And not only that, it was being supersped, through the dreary clouds that had formed in the sky while transporting a not so merry group of mixed race on it. It was the ship which had just been used in the battle against the larger CFR ship which had been in order to recover the ship and then to stop the ex captain of the CFR, bringing her to books. However, they had given it their all, the result being the reason why they all had their faces solemn even as they were cleared of any antagonist. At least for now. The sails of the ship rocked into space, spearing through the clouds, while the blue skinned Hadjan male stood, holding one of the beams while looking far into the distance. After squinting that far and not being satisfied with what he saw or whatever he was looking for, he shook his head in disappointment and then let
Ascenders: Rising To Hero 8. The Dual Elemental Giant
The 9ft towering figure made of a condensed mass of tightly paced stones picked his steps carefully as he made his way away from town. The air was fresher at this time of the year because it was the time for the infamous festival of Masquerades in Fair Weather. And as result, the people of the town had done their bit in making it work free and everything a festival time should be. That meant that there was no need to do anything which would present an issue to the air. And there were fewer people out there on the road, allowing for better ventilation and movement now. It was this time that he enjoyed the most, that is the figure who was made of stone. He was not like the usual Magmorians who were made of stones too, his own dermatology a little more complicated than those of the race of Magmore. He was an elemental Giant, or rather as the people

No more did the noise of the crowd disturb the harmony of both Hadjans as they stood still, both of them staring at the ground. After Abiola dispersed the assembly, he had said a few parting words to the crew and then left, his head heavy in thoughts. The City was in mourning. Whether they blamed Ronke for bringing in Ascenders in or not, it did not change the fact that Ronke was gone. There was no way in the Seven Heavens that they were going to get her back. At least, not in the form she was, when she was alive. Ken and Spyder stood a while back, watching but not daring to say a thing. They had not known the crew for too long, their only actual connection being no one sles but Bayo. Now, Bayo was gone. Or rather, Bayo had gone rogue.

Several of the Familiars seemed stuck to even act as they stared at Bayo, standing over the gigantic mass of the Turtle Backed Sonic Beetle. She could instantly guess what they were thinking. Now, they would be putting two plus two together, making their observations about what was really happening. Holding her stomach now, she heaved and then screamed out, free hand in the air.

It was fearsome, its huge buck tripling the confidence of the monsters as it stared at him balefully. “You Want some?” Bayo taunted. ‘Focus, Biayo.’ Yamsin Called out to him. ‘I know, I just want to say something to it.

“Ah!” Ronke moaned as her body slammed helplessly against the ground. She thrust her hands to both sides, her vision hazy. Looking for something to grab onto and regain her balance. However, for each object she touched, she could only make out the soft, squished and slightly distorted forms of them. These were once living creatures. There were the bodies of the beasts which had been stuck down by the familiars so far. Pride surged in her heart but at the same time, looking on through the hazy vision of hers, she felt a bit of panic. What was Bayo up to now? “Hey, need a hand?” A voice called to her, helping her get back up. Rejuvenated by the source of the voice, Ronke summoned all of her will power as she rose, hefting

None of that they had faced up till now could prepare them adequately to face a wave. She knew that much. Despite being Lord Classed, she still felt uneasy. Somehow, something would happen. Something that was unplanned for. That was what she looked out for. The one thing she would be able to tank out with her Lord Classed Soul Strength. Law of War churned in her soul space, furiously boosting her spirits as she held her blade, tense but ready for action. She dashed to the left, slicing through, her eyes shut. Fiery aura razing into the atmosphere about her as the air heated up considerably. Her mind went ablaze, alertness level surging high. This was the true power of the Lord Class.
