The Ascendance Deceiver Common Touch
Slowly opening his eyes, Alayn mustered the strength to sit up on the ground, feeling a lingering heaviness in his head. He instinctively touched his temple with his right hand, gently massaging it. While the physical wounds had been miraculously healed due to the midnight reset that the angel Viviana had mentioned, the mental toll of using his ability at 20% potential was not as easily washed away. The experience left his mind in disarray, making it difficult for him to focus clearly. Alayn knew that using a fragment of the authority of gods, even at a mere 20%, would come with consequences. After all, it was merely a fraction of the power he was meant to wield once he reached 100% potential. The mental burden he endured surpassed his imagination, and he understood that such power came at a cost. However, Alayn also knew that he couldn't afford to rest for too long. Time was not on their side, and the Pantheon's trials were far from over. As he tried to gather his thoughts and rega
The Ascendance Deceiver Boom
Following the incident involving the boy in the green shirt, Alayn ushered his team, including Neo, towards the parking lot. His intention was to have a discussion with the two surviving enemy players whom he had spared. He recognized his responsibility in ensuring their safety among the teammates. Although met with initial resistance from some members, Alayn's persuasive skills ultimately won the day. Convincing people was indeed one of Alayn's prominent strengths. As he saw off his team, Alayn reminded Luvern to transport Mortis' body back to camp and retrieve his gun while at it. Luvern shared the determination to provide their fallen comrade with a proper burial. Despite the challenging circumstances, they aimed to secure Mortis' body in a more protected spot, shielded from wildlife – a gesture of respect befitting a comrade who deserved such honors. While Alayn moved away, Luvern and Aidan began the solemn task of carrying Mortis' body, with Aidan's assistance and Mortis' revol
The Ascendance Deceiver Regret
Terrified by the revelation of an embedded bomb around their necks, the two enemy players reacted in a frenzy, their hands frantically touching and scratching at the spots where the vibrations had originated. "Hey, hey, chill. Acting like that won't help. Just so you know, you'd have to cut into your flesh to remove it," Alayn calmly remarked, his smile lingering despite the tense atmosphere. "Why... Why would you do this? Please, I'll do whatever you ask. Just get rid of it," the woman with round glasses pleaded, her grip still tight around her neck. Their eyes reflected sheer horror, realizing that their lives could be extinguished with a mere thought from the man before them. "Apologies, but even if I wanted to, I can't remove those devices now," Alayn nonchalantly explained with a shrug, the amusement evident in his eyes as he observed the horrified expressions on the faces of the two captives before him. The boy in the green shirt, his voice now tinged with brokenness rather
The Ascendance Deceiver Feigned Sacrifice
Amidst the gentle embrace of the calming breeze, its tendrils carrying a faint tinge of iron from the lingering scent of blood, Alayn's steps drew him closer to the campsite. With a mere thought, he conjured his ability card into existence, a seamless motion that seemed to conjure it from thin air, deciding to check his credit balance—his spoils from ending the enemy team. The card's display activated in his mind with a simple thought. "11978 credits, huh?" he mused, tilting his head and scanning the digits. "Add that to the initial 248, and it seems they had a collective stash of around 4730 without including the 2000 credits that blond women got from killing Mortis. Not a bad haul," he chuckled under his breath, a hint of amusement in his voice. With his financial audit complete, he touched the card, activating the live location function. Curiosity got the better of him, leading him to want to know the whereabouts of the remaining enemy team members. Opening the live location feat
The Ascendance Deceiver Enemy
The echo of determined footsteps resonated through what was once a bustling town, now reduced to a desolate maze of crumbling structures intertwined with nature's reclamation. Verdant tendrils wound their way around the remnants of human habitation, and a gentle breeze carried the subtle scent of damp earth and decaying wood as Alayn's team pressed forward, their hearts set on discovering a safe haven to establish their camp. Options had presented themselves, each bearing a semblance of potential respite: a house, still standing amidst the encroaching wilderness; a broken parking lot, its cracked asphalt a mosaic of abandonment; twin storefronts, their shattered windows revealing a glimpse of former commerce. Yet, with each potential location, Alayn's discerning eye detected lurking dangers, and he skillfully presented these hazards to his comrades, guiding them toward a more secure path. Time had ebbed away, a good forty minutes slipping by since their departure from the fallen par
The Ascendance Deceiver Evelyn
As minutes flowed by like water in a tranquil stream, Alayn felt a subtle gaze graze his senses. Turning his head, he found Evelyn gracefully making her way towards him. A warm smile danced on her lips as she settled beside him on the fallen branch. Meeting her gaze, Alayn's own lips curved in response, his eyes then drifting upwards to the moon, a sentinel of the night. "It's quite chilly, isn't it?" Evelyn's voice carried a softness, tinted with a touch of playfulness. Her hands rubbed together in a bid to conjure warmth, her sleeves rustling like leaves in a gentle breeze. Alayn, too, began to rub his hands together for warmth. "Indeed," he agreed. "I have that temperature-changing blessing, but it doesn't work in tandem with the light blessing." He confessed with an almost rueful chuckle. "And in our haste, I forgot to pass it to someone else." Evelyn's eyes crinkled in amusement, a smile lifting the corners of her mouth. "It happens to the best of us," she remarked, her voice
The Ascendance Deceiver Temporal Delay
Amidst the grim tableau of fallen comrades, Alayn stood in stunned silence, his gaze locked onto Evelyn. She, who had once stood beside him as a trusted teammate, now felt like a specter of betrayal haunting the ruins of their trust. In the wake of this heart-wrenching sight, Alayn grappled with the enigma before him. How had Evelyn managed to deceive not just him, but their entire team? The realization that an enemy had cunningly infiltrated their midst was a bitter pill to swallow, and the consequences were tragically irreversible. Evelyn's serene smile, unchanged despite the carnage, cast an eerie contrast against the grim reality. Slowly, she approached Alayn, her footsteps echoing in the cavern of his shattered understanding. Alayn's gaze flitted back to the lifeless forms of his teammates, their faces now pallid masks of death. He trembled, struggling to comprehend the depth of the deception that had led to this massacre. The realization settled in—he had failed to safeguard
The Ascendance Deceiver Chrono Reversion
"How about we eat something? I have some supplies I bought from Solarael." Experiencing a profound sense of déjà vu, Luvern gradually lifted his head at the sound of Evelyn's melodious voice. His hand instinctively moved to his neck, a gesture born from the lingering confusion that clouded his thoughts. He found himself immersed in a sea of uncertainty, struggling to piece together the unfolding reality. As his gaze swept the scene before him, Luvern's eyes settled on his teammates, each seated around him on the ground. His younger sister's innocent yet puzzled expression caught his attention, her curious eyes fixed on him. Her presence, along with the visible well-being of his comrades, flooded his heart with relief. In that moment, he grasped something profound yet unsettling - it wasn't that nothing had happened to them, but rather that nothing had happened to them... yet. He began to realize, with a heavy heart, the full extent of what had befallen his team—the haunting memorie
