Hello everyone, sorry, your author is ill today.
I tried to write some but I could not finish an entire chap. Tomorrow, once I get better, I'd make sure to give a full update. For now, I'll post a teaser of the next chapter. Thanks for the understanding. Stay safe and healthy....
Fernando and Hana knew about Ley’s actions. The lad had already discussed it with them and they actually had no opinion about it as all of them were free to try out methods that would work best for them.

...Several days later, when some horror stories began to spread on the internet, stories that collectively mentioned the name Ley Baler and his abilities to help people evade accidents of bad spirits, Hana and Fernando were not surprised.Fernando and Hana knew about the reason behind Ley’s actions. The lad had already discussed it with them and they actually had no opinion about it, as all of them were free to try out methods that would work best for them.Hana was actually supportive of the idea since she was more than aware how hard it was for Ley to move about with his Gift. Ley said, “My method won’t likely work on you, or even if it works, it would only bring you trouble. In my case, even if people badmouth me and think of me as a fraud, I won’t be bothered much since even if they go after me and locate me, which would be a miracle if it happens, I would be able to easily run away from them.” When Ley first told Hana and Fernando about the rumors that he intentionally spread,

Luck. Luck seemed to be always on an Anitos side, especially on normal occasions when all they were dealing with were normal people.Ley was in a good mood as he entered the Goddess' palace, the gigantic residence given, or more like in his cognition, 'lent' to them. He really marveled at the generosity of the Goddess and even though he knew there was a catch somewhere, which he suspected lied on making them Her servants or followers, he was no longer as against. Ley recognized the favor and felt that if he would ever have the fortune to see this elusive Goddess, he would make sure to do his part to return the favor.A day quickly passed. He toured the village and interacted with some eager residents there. He also commissioned a sculptor to carve for him a miniature version of the newly built statues in the mansion. Before deciding to head back to Manila on the eve of the following day, he first made sure to fetch the mini statues.Since he ha
The Ascension Chapter 74.5: Deities' Idle Time
A MINI THEATERSetting: At the simple garden of the Hevel Residence, the three masters of the house gathered for a simple tea session. It was a sunny afternoon, the exact time was 3:14 pm, the movement of the rays of sun that passed through the gaps of the leaves of the tall trees surrounding the bungalow were so beautiful to watch against the natural backdrop of green and brown. It was the perfect place and time for relaxation.Scene: Three deities talking amongst each other about Ley's most recent discovery.Ley: I have just tested it and I found that Anitos, even us who ascended in an unnatural way, could really hear the pleas and prayers of people.Hana: It's cool.Ley: I know. If my guess is correct, we only hear two types of prayers. Prayers directly mentioning us, or prayers under the scope of, or related to our Gift.Fernando: Oh. Interesting? How is it then? I couldn't try it because my believers are animals.

...Learning that a deity's symbol, for an Anito with not much divine power, a sculpture molded to their likeness, could enable them to hear prayers made Ley's life easier. Since then, he was frequently outside. As long as those calling out for him were nearby, he would go there without fail. Although the cases were few, there were really those helped out by him and some of these people, upon hearing his name and seeing his masked face would spread the word to everyone they could.Upon encountering something unusual, people always want to share the experience with those around them to stifle the excitement, or fear, if it was something supernatural. As more and more individuals shared various experiences about fatal accidents that got evaded by the sudden appearance of a road or a pathway, more and more people came to hear the name 'Ley'. It was said that he would appear if you called for his name before a road accident. Or if you were feeling like you needed some directions to get to
The Ascension Chapter 76: Ominous Invitation
...A messenger from another Anito came. Ley and the two other masters of the house did not see the person, but a letter did appear on their mailbox.When Sam picked it up, his pupils immediately dilated seeing that it was addressed to the house owners. Their actual names were written at the back. The letter came from overseas and the sender was somebody with a foreign-sounding name. However, he knew this place and the name of the masters. That was how the butler immediately knew that the other party must be somebody with ties to a transcendent being or a transcendent being himself.As Fernando the one at home at that time, he was the first to see the contents of the letter. Even the usually carefree and careless him knitted his brows at the message he had read. He did not hesitate to telephone Ley and Hana. The two youths promptly went home, the girl did not even care if she had to request an emergency leave from her homeroom teacher."
The Ascension Chapter 77: The Witch's Words
...An hour after their return to the capital, when the cloud was blocking the moonlight from gracing a particular house. "What does an esteemed Anito of the Land need from a humble old witch like me?" Suspicious eyes cast themselves on a youth who looked like a regular human. The witch was dressed in a dark-brown, blackish overall, her figure appeared especially ominous at a backdrop of darkness that was only illuminated by a single flickering blue light. However, the wariness that her wrinkled contours displayed lessened the eeriness that was supposed to come from her. A witch who usually frightened even fierce creatures of the dark stood in the middle of her own humble wooden abode, alertly looking at Ley whose aura intimidated her and the dark powers inside her. Ley gave the witch a look, his face did not reveal any thoughts but his chest heaving slightly which the latter perceived as a natural reaction from being disgusted by something dirty. The old woman became more alert an
The Ascension Chapter 78: The Supposed-to-be Agents of the Underworld
...It was the first time Ley had heard about the existence of the Devil Realm. Although it did not show on his face, he was puzzled. He did not ask as he was not stupid to not know that the mentioned place could not be good. However, he was indeed distracted. 'Is that the reason why Baram felt like it would be no good to offend that Deity from the Blood Lake?' 'Disregarding that fellow Anito of ours, how come a Skyworld high god dares to make a connection to somebody from the shady side?'The witch explained. She started with the honorific that she arbitrarily chose to flatter Ley. "Your Excellency."He hummed, eyes on the wooden surface of the table. "I would like to clarify that this is only a rumor. I only heard about in passing from some other high ranked creatures like me. You should be aware that our universe has four Great Worlds. The Realm of the Deities ruled by the Court of Bathala, the Skyworld. The Realm of the Deceased ruled by His Highness Sitan, the Underworld. The
The Ascension Chapter 79: Pillar of Light
The cold night passed. A day later, the entire Hevel Residence returned to their usual routine, as if nothing had broken their streak of peaceful days. The servants though could feel the tense atmosphere that slowly taken over the residence. When Sam reported the revenue of the island and the House from the trade and various investments, the smile that bloomed on Ley's face only stayed for a couple of moments, vanishing promptly after. Worries were faintly visible on the faces of the other two masters too, obviously influenced by Ley's shifting mood. When Hana went to school that day, all day long she looked preoccupied. The teacher giving lectures at the podium naturally noticed her. Only, he had heard about the rumors and supposed background of the girl and thus he was not courageous to call out her name and make her pay attention. 'Probably troubles at home,' The teacher, Mr. Domingo, inwardly shook his head, forcing himself not to ask about that too. Had it been another studen
