《Ascension Game》13th Entry - Fight
Advertisement
We take the path and reach the top; here is the cage that I saw earlier, and inside is a teleporter, just like the one we took to come here. Ashley and I get really excited, but we quickly realize that the only door leading inside is locked. The large bars are made of metal, and there is no opening at the top. I guess the Black Knight probably has the key. I lie down and wonder how I could defeat such a strong foe. Neither my ax nor Ashley’s arrows could pass that heavy armor. I stay on the ground, demoralized. We eat our lunch at the top of the rock, and I suddenly get an idea. I finish my sandwich and ask Ashley to wait here. I find the heaviest rock I can lift in the forest and carry it to the top. Here I place it right on the edge and ask Ashley to give it a push; it falls directly on the ramp. I mark the impact point and carry the rock back on edge. I tell Ashley about my plan, and after a few questions, she agrees to it. I look for a dead tree in the forest to make a rudimentary shield. I use my ax on one that seems suitable.
When done, I tell Ashley to get ready. I place myself not very far from the rock and scream the louder I can. I repeat the process for a few minutes when I finally hear some noise; that’s a wolf. The beast is barking and growling at me but stays at range. I hear no other wolf coming. After another minute, the Black Knight emerges from the bushes. I slowly retreat toward the rock while remaining alert; The Knight orders its dog to attack by pointing at me. I slash the beast dead as it jumps; it seems that I mastered the timing. It angers the Black Knight, who raises his spears above his shoulder. I immediately flee out of its range; when I reach the ramp, I let go of my ax to pick up the wooden shield. The Knight followed. I slowly move back while holding the shield, the enemy advance toward me, ready to throw his weapon. When he reaches the mark, I step forward to be in its range. The Knight throws his spear; it cleaves my wooden protection and pushes me down. Before I can look up, I hear a loud collision noise. The foe has taken the rock right on the head, and it broke his neck. The Black Knight falls dead on the ground; our plan worked.

Ashley takes a peak from above: “Is he dead?” After a few seconds, the body of the Black Knight dissolves into black smoke, leaving an empty armor on the ground. At that moment, a bunch of text appears in front of my eyes: “Boss defeated,” “Augmented Vision Unlocked,” “Inventory Unlocked.” I guess from Ashley’s screams that the same thing happens to her. I say: “I think it’s definitely dead.” Ashley joins me, and we hug with excitement; I lift her while rotating. After I put her down, we exchange a sensual kiss. Her face turns red, and she looks away. I try to pick up the spear, but a strange thing happens; my hand passes through it as if it was an illusion. A small text appears: “Reserved loot: time remaining 30 minutes.” Ashley manages to pick up the spear; I understand that the system has split the Black Knight’s items. I can touch the armor and get a different text: “Heavy Black Armor – Pick Up / Equip.” I select the “Pick Up” option with my hand, and the piece of equipment illuminates, then disappears. A black key is left on the ground; I grab the tool and show it to Ashley. We walk up the ramp and use it on the cage’s door; it disappears inside the lock. The door opens shortly after; we have access to the teleporter. I ask Ashley: “Where do you think it leads ?” She responds: “It better send us back so I can take a god damn shower.” We quickly grab our stuff and prepare to enter the cage. We hold each other hands and step inside the teleporter.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.

Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky. It spoke, eye's ashen, like the surface of a star, "What is it you desire, boy?" The word's rolled from it's pointed maw, tongue flicking, it's deep and ferocious voice sending the ground below rumbling. Damien looked up, hair sodden with rain, his face battered beyond recognition, his lips curled into a snarl. He had gone past the point of being frightened; he was tired of his weakness. He spoke, voice wavering, mist floating from his mouth in the coldness: "I want them dead. I want everyone who stabbed me in the back; dead." The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.
