The Ascendants Novels & Stories

“I haven’t heard about them for a decade.” Valentine nods slowly. “Neither have I.” I frown, crossing my arms. “Who the hell is ‘them’?” Achilles finally looks at me. “Vampire hunters.” I stiffen. “Like…?” He swallows. “The Ascendants.” My stomach drops. I may not know much about vampire politics, but that name alone carries a weight I don’t like. “Are they dangerous?” Valentine chuckles, dark and humorless. “Oh, little one.” He tilts his head, eyes gleaming. “Not even Mara’s wards can keep them out.

*This is why we survived. But Ravel's shout shatters the vision. "Kelly! Don't-!" She's too late. --- **The Communion** The throne's light floods me, fusing with the static. The Bastion's roots surge into my veins, its memories becoming mine. I see the garden's birth-a cosmic entity forged to nurture, twisted by mortal fear into the Bloom, the Seeds, the Hunger. Alaric kneels, tears in his eyes. "It's chosen you. The first **Ascendant**."

However, he wasn't getting anywhere just relying on his own ability either, as reaching the Scion rank meant he was Ascendent. Improving from mortal ranks to Ascendant simply wasn't that easy—starting from Scion, rising to Ruler, Sage, and finally to Emperor was difficult as the gaps between the ranks widened consecutively.

As soon as the call ended, Lisa's face turned pale. She pointed at David and screamed, "You disgusting bastard! You actually hooked up with my husband!" David became furious and retorted, "He came to me on his own! How do you think he could buy a house and car outright in just five years?" It turned out that Henry's rapid rise to procurement manager at such a young age was not due to hard work. Instead, it stemmed from an unspeakable relationship with the boss. Trying to avoid further misunderstandings, David quickly added, "I didn't turn him into this. He was always a femboy from the start. Even the old man selling pancakes downstairs said he'd slept with him before!"

Looks like Nathania managed to provoke the anger of the devil who has been known as a very frightening murder weapon. Aiden stared at the girl in front of him with anger, Nathania's scent was getting more and more piercing on his nose. Aiden knew exactly that this scent was not an ordinary human scent. Yes, in his whole life, the only time he smelled this scent was when he and his family visited Lithonia. This scent was the scent of the descendants of the gods.

It is not a pack, not a political body, and not a criminal network in the conventional sense. The records describe it as a philosophical organisation — wolves who believe that the natural order of inter-pack relations is one of dominance hierarchy, not cooperation. That the current system of councils and committees and accords is a suppression of what they call the natural ascending order — the strong pack rises, the weaker submit, and the hierarchy thus established is stable in the way that enforced hierarchi

God- this girl drives me insane. "Chrissy. You do know there is no going back to normal after this right? If we do this, I'm going to want more, and more. I'll want you in my bed every night. And if you don't come to my bed, I will be breaking in to yours every night." "Mmmh! Ash please. I want you. You can have me every night. You can have all of me. But for fucks sake- just fuck me already. Please?" She moaned as sucked on her left nipple gently, her back arching.

Thick black hair in a clean cut, dark brows properly curved, straight nose, thin lips that curves very seldom, and prominent jaw that proves his manliness. At a glance, you know he is the most disciplined of all. The always logical and responsible one. Maybe because from childhood, every person in their sect already knew that he was the next leader. Bearing such a big responsibility that early, no doubt why his principles and perspective were shaped that way. Alessandro Vaughn III, the first born of Viljancos, was almost the same age as Amadeus. He's ruthless looking, but he's not as uptight and intimidating as Amadeus.

I do love a good roll play. Finally, it was Friday night and time to get my life back, I dressed myself in a nice tux. I knew that Charlotte was in a nice gown, so I wanted to look good next to her. Zac came over an hour before the party was due to start. I wanted to park and watch Charlotte arrive, Hannah told me that she would send me live streams of the night so I could watch Charlotte.

"You can't say that for sure. What if we missed memorizing some?" "I would never miss any. No matter which sect they're from, I remember every arcane seeker who became ascendant." Seeing them start investigating the deity idol, the woman's eyes suddenly darkened, and she looked a bit unhappy. But quickly, she smiled again. "You're probably too young to have heard of this ascendant. He was called to ascension by the heavens themselves. His arcane powers are amazing. It's more like unofficial history." "Oh, really?"
