Chapter 123: An Unnerving Situation Upon Return
...
It had taken Ley quite the mental fortitude to stay calm and collected as he boarded a taxi from the seaport of Manila to the bungalow. Several hours already passed since he left the island. The lights all around the city were already flashing to give illumination to every person still not yet home. Throughout the more than an hour drive, Ley remained seated on the backseat with his eyes closed, listening to the prayers and grumblings of people calling out his name. At the same time, he was very alert to any suspicious event in his surroundings. When he was only a kilometer away from the bungalow, he opened his eyes. His face and gaze remained placid.
As he drew nearer to the place, he began to feel the unusual aura that was emanating from the house.
'The Goddess visited this residence first?' He slightly furrowed his brows.
Ley could sense Hana's presence. However, it also felt unfamiliar to him. Like it belonged to somebody entirel

...'Hana's aura is gentle and warm. Now, although this aura is still warm, it could not be denied that it is also extremely domineering, like a sun that refuses any fleeting cluster of clouds to eclipse it.'"Where to drop you off here?" asked the driver.Ley was knocked out of his stupor by the taciturn voice.Turning his head to the middle-aged man looking at him through the mirror, he thought for a moment before he said, "It's okay. Here is fine."He pointed at the waiting shed right next to the gate. There stood a guard in charge of the security of the village, looking at him as he climbed out of the backseat of the cab.After helping the driver closed the car door, he nodded at the guard, showing no credentials since his face was already familiar to the other. It was just like after having lived in the community for several months, the guard's facial features had also become familiar to him.As expected,
The Ascension Chapter 125: A Real Road Misfortune
Most of the time, people were careful about the wrong things while outside, watching out for road signs and slopes, checking for dangerous turns or any annoying roadblocks. Yet at times, they tend to be neglectful of the expressions of those they might come across.People tend to ignore the fact that road accidents were not always about cars colliding against one another or bumping into a tree. It was also not only about a ghost popping out of nowhere. Sometimes, it was simply the types of people one met in the streets. T

...Ley did not really let his guard down, even for a second. Even when he was saying those words to the girl, he was still alert and mindful of his surroundings. More than anyone else, he knew that he was in danger, just as every other member of the House.However, the blow that struck him when he was exiting the hospital ward was complete
The Ascension Chapter 127: Surrounded
...Forest fairies were beings that were birthed by nature. Unlike the Tree Deity of the North who only managed to ascend and gain sentience through the unceasing faith energy gotten from his worshippers in that mountain, forest fairies were Anitos since birth. They did not need to be nourished by the wishes and prayers of mortals to ascend. The reason for this was that they were originally from the second layer. The forests there had trees and flowers that had collected divine energy from nature for thousands of years. Sometimes, these plants and trees had the luck to be graced by the presence of Skyworld deities managing the area. Due to this, the forest fairies that emerged from them became arrogant and began to believe that on Earth, there were no other superior race other than theirs. Forest fairies believed that they were created by the high gods.Of course, even though this race was arrogant, they were not stupid. Passed down from their ancestors was the k
The Ascension Chapter 128: City of Tree Spirits
Ley was not really in the second layer since he was still in his own dimension, the one only he could access and create through his ability.It was just that the sight of more than a hundred forest fairies surrounding him made him nervous for quite a while, which could not be helped given that he was all alone there. Add to this the fact that the forest fairies here seemed as strong as that lady forest fairy that attacked him, if not stronger. The feeling of intimidation came from being inferior to them both in strength and number.Ley had to take a few careful deep breaths in order to calm his heart that began to beat madly.'It's okay. Forest fairies have affinities to nature, but my dimension is completely lifeless. Only actual skyworld gods should be able to get here.'He told himself. He did this over ten times, and thankfully, the self-brainwashing showed some effects.After a minute or so, he then paused his breathing for a
The Ascension Chapter 129: Green Vines
"You are injured?"A child's voice echoed in that place. Trees were ever present. But thankfully, the ones nearby were not one housing a few forest fairies. When Ley briefly checked the surroundings, there was only one forest fairy near him which was a little girl whose eyes gleamed of both curiosity and puzzlement as she gazed at him. She was wearing a skirt made of leaves and flowers while her long hair covered her front.Ley stepped back.'We're far, right... This girl would not suddenly shout to call for others, right?'The bead of sweat that ran down from his forehead to the left side of his chin was not only due to pain, but also due to the anxiousness that suddenly struck him.The little female forest fairy noticed it. Tilting her head, she roamed her gaze, passing along the row of fairy houses that were off to the distance.She then walked with her short and slim legs. When his vision turned a bit
The Ascension Chapter 130: Little Aja
The name of the child forest fairy who later brought an unconscious Ley to her abode was Ajalina. She was just one of the many regular citizens of this place. Judging from her stature that was shorter and skinnier than others, it was obvious that she was still a kid. Only a kid amongst her race would possess such curiosity towards an outsider since had it been any other, they would have pounced on the opportunity to slay an injured deity in order to advance their abilities.Her fellow race members called her Little Aja since her name was long for them. The adults nearby her house treasured her quite a lot as she was pretty talented in both alchemy and poison-making. The house that she occupied now was made and decorated by those who adored her. In their race, there was no concept of a parent-child relationship as every forest fairy was birthed by nature. However, it seemed that Little Aja was being one of the very few exceptions.But maybe this was not a fa
The Ascension Chapter 131: Intermission
...While Ley was having one of the most nerve-wracking time of his life from realizing that he was now truly surrounded, the one on the island had been in a lethargic mood ever since he was left to defend it by himself.Fernando was like Ley in a sense that he did not really warm up fast to the two kids. Old age made him more carefree, yet also cautious. The jolly attitude he put on was just a facade. He was not stupid to not know that something was amiss with Ley because in a nutshell, Hana and him would not become Anitos if not for being with him when the attack on the Underworld happened.However, he was quicker than Ley to treat the Hevel house as his new family. Maybe because, he was really old, and he wanted people to care for him and talk to him, something that his actual family, the one he left behind in the mortal world, would no longer be able to provide.'Ley, Hana, and the others are not bad to be with. I also instantly became one
