Ascension Trilogy

In a world where magical beasts roam the land and hunters are humanity’s last line of defense, the Philippines has become a patchwork of sanctuaries and danger zones. Hunters are classified into ranks—E to the legendary S. The higher the rank, the greater the strength, magical prowess, and fame. Yet for Joshua "Josh" Villanueva, life at the lowest rung, below even E Rank, is bleak. Talentless, cursed, and constantly overlooked, he is mocked as "The Forgotten Hunter." Josh hails from the slums of Tondo, Manila, a region teetering between safety and chaos. Struggling to make ends meet, he risks his life as a scavenger in low-level dungeons that appear across the archipelago. Despite countless failures, a strange relic buried in the ruins of Corregidor Island chooses him during one harrowing expedition. Little does Josh know, this ancient artifact—called the *Diwata’s Heirloom*—possesses a dormant, forbidden power tied to the country’s ancient myths and gods. As the relic awakens, Josh begins to unlock abilities unlike any hunter has ever seen. His newfound power stems not from conventional training or talent but from unraveling the secrets of precolonial lore. To rise through the ranks, he must journey across the Philippines: from the enchanted forests of Siquijor to the volcanic depths of Mayon, all while navigating alliances, rivalries, and the whispers of a prophecy surrounding the return of a forgotten god. But the cost of power is steep, and as Josh climbs the hunter ranks—E, D, C, B, A, and beyond—he discovers the true meaning of strength lies not just in defeating monsters but in uniting a fractured people against an impending cataclysm. ---

The world is in ruins. The Abyss has unleashed its horrors, and humanity’s mightiest warriors are falling one by one. In the midst of the chaos, a terrified teenager—Veer Everett—is shielded by the strongest heroes of the Philippines, Eleanor and Egon Everett. But against the endless tide of monsters, even legends can only do so much. Then, Veer dies. But death is not the end. Instead, it is the beginning. Veer awakens in a mysterious sub-dimension—a realm split among Humans, Elves & Dwarves, Demons, and Dragons. In this unforgiving world, only the strong survive. Forced to endure brutal trials and hone his hidden potential, Veer embarks on a relentless path to power. His speed, strength, and abilities grow beyond imagination—transforming him into something far greater than anyone could have foreseen. And when the time comes for his return… The Abyss will learn fear. From death to dominance—Veer’s legend begins. A world of war. A hero reborn. A reckoning awaits. He fell once… but now, he will rise. This is his Ascension Through Ruin.

The moment he begins his ascent, unseen forces from beyond the cosmos take notice. Ancient beings who control the laws of existence now see him as a threat.

For centuries, the strongest warriors have been forged in Solrath—the realm of dragons. At fifteen, every candidate is thrown into this brutal world, where only those who train under dragons and survive five years can return. But survival isn’t enough. The ones who emerge become contenders for the throne, ruled by the all-powerful Council. Noah Astris was never meant to stand among them. Weak, anxious, and barely scraping by, he had no illusions of greatness. But fate is cruel, and in the face of betrayal, he is forced to make an impossible choice—one that binds him to an ancient power long thought to be obsolete. Now, the path before him is filled with deadly rivals, hidden agendas, and an impending war that threatens to shatter everything. The world demands strength. The Council demands obedience. The dragons demand vengeance. But Noah? He demands answers. And for that—he must ascend. The Final Ascension begins.

Crossers invaded the world and thrust Humanity into an interworld conflict. Humanity's instinct for survival was stimulated—rekindling the ancestral bloodline's legacy that lies dormant within them. Vampires, Elves, and even Demons were not mere figures of fantasy, but rather the true ancestors of Humanity in ages past. Thus, Hybrids were reintroduced to the world. Lucivar Asarafall, a man of humble origin—failed to awaken his bloodline. Despite his good deeds, his family loathed him. In his final trial, he swore to succeed but fate intervened, he was chosen as the monthly sacrifice for his city. In a near-death experience, his bloodline awakened, an Angel. A turning point in his life, but soon he realized that he was not the Angel he thought to be. In a world where the rulers were descendants of Dracula, the Dark Prince—or Chi Long, the Inferno King, the bloodline of malevolent beings from realms beyond mortal comprehension coursed through Lucivar's veins. While others became Hybrids, Lucivar became the messenger of Evil Gods, a False Angel. "Who cares about good or evil? If I kill someone wicked, it's a win, one less rival in my way. If I kill someone noble, it is still a win—the world would've consumed them sooner or later. So why not let it happen by my hand? After all, I'm more practical. I became stronger and you get a painless death, win-win" ——— Very manipulative and unhinged MC, be warned. He's a slave to the Evil Gods. A trickster God. An arrogant God. A chaotic God. A wrathful God. A puritanical God. Read to find who these Gods are! ——— Author Note: Not for those who want fast development from the start but if you want good characters, then this is your novel! Chapter 1 to 22 will be focused on the MC's descent to villainous but once it kicks off, you won't be disappointed!

The Rifts' subsequent collapse brought devastation, and humanity teetered on the brink of collapse. In a shocking turn of events, Dragons and Oni appeared, saving humanity from the clutches of monstrous creatures.

Against this bleak backdrop, three individuals from a distant universe - Keith, Merlin, and Kayla - are reincarnated into this world. Driven by a desire to liberate humanity from its oppressors, they embark on a perilous quest to restore human independence and dignity. Will their unique skills and experiences be enough to challenge the entrenched hierarchy, or will the forces of oppression crush their rebellion?

Recruited by the world government as early as age 5 or 10 for his unparalleled skills, Eden quickly became a top-tier agent—so exceptional that he was forced into early retirement.

Now, when a mysterious cosmic game engineered by the enigmatic Grand Arbiter begins to unravel the fabric of reality, Eden’s past, his forgotten connections, and his uncanny luck are all put to the ultimate test. Can a man who’s spent his life mastering every challenge truly change the rules of fate? Or is he merely a pawn in a game where every choice rewrites destiny?

Hulk was a pro football player, a guy who loved nothing more than clutching a pigskin and barreling through the defense like a runaway freight train. He lived for the gridiron. But he never, in his wildest dreams, imagined he'd see a pair of nipples bigger than a football. He became a giant baby, reborn with a new name: Orion.

With the panel's help, and a whole lot of elbow grease, Orion led his giant tribe to become the most powerful in the Barren Mountains. He went from zero to hero, becoming a mighty Titan King. He was no longer the runt; he was the top dog.

Humanity is caught in a great upheaval after the Intergalactic Union of All Species coincidentally discovers their existence on what they had formerly considered to be the fringe of the universe. Without any say in the matter, they get indicted into the Union as a legal member. Unfortunately, this meant that they were now obligated to partake in the exploration of a new Chaotic Realm parallel to their universe containing rich energies, resources, and essence that the universe itself craved. To that end, the universe has created its own will, which seeks to gather all races and strengthen warriors from them to explore the dangerous but lucrative Chaotic Realm, initiating the Augmented Reality simulation, Essence. In Essence, one can experience a carefully crafted universe similar to an RPG game, either by going in through your soul or going in through VR. The former means that death is true, and the latter is similar to a normal FIVR experience. Those who go in with their souls can freely receive feedback from their 'game characters' to obtain all stats, skills, and items they acquire in Essence, while those who go in with VR do not obtain that benefit. However, those who pay for it in Essence can receive an awakening of genetic talent called abilities. These abilities are graded from F to EX, a total of 10 stages. Not much is expected from the human race when the first 100 participants get chosen at random from the public - a standard protocol - only for each one of them to awaken at least an A-grade ability. Then, there was Damon Arnan, a young Ghanaian politician, who ended up awakening, not one, not two, but three EX-Grade Talents. The human race, which had just entered the galactic playground, was about to experience a storm with Damon smackdab in the middle.

Their sins got the whip of god's worst. On that fateful day, god left the world in ruins. However, in his supposed mercy, he left them with a means to survive. To protect themselves against the fiendish demons and monsters that came upon them. This gift, they called: Talents! In this god-abandoned world, Kieran Marcoth, on the day he was to receive his talent—a gift from Orion, the left god—he awakened a 'hidden' SSS-ranked talent. A talent that could only be activated once the condition was met. Instantly, Kieran turned into a subject of mockery, spite, and insults, and somehow, just somehow… he found himself riddled with injuries and on the brink of death. However, it seemed Orion was yet to forget his son. [Ding! Conditions have been met] [Host has been successfully selected as a God candidate] [Defeat the other candidates! Become the next God of this ruined world] Seeing the notification, Kieran couldn’t care less. Only one thought was registered in his mind: ‘I’m going to fucking kill those bastards!’ His journey began… Will the once-kind helper become a tyrant god?

Arcane Ascension: The Technomancer’s Legacy Elias Graham was just an engineer—a university student obsessed with technology, innovation, and solving problems. But when he is suddenly summoned to a war-torn world where magic reigns and science is nothing more than a forgotten relic, he quickly realizes that survival demands more than just knowledge. Branded as an outsider, Elias struggles against a society that sees him as weak, especially when he discovers his mana reserves are nearly nonexistent. But while others cast spells and wield swords, Elias builds. Armed with nothing but his intellect and whatever scrap he can scavenge, he begins forging his own path to power—creating a war armor that fuses magic and technology. But the deeper he delves into this world, the more secrets he uncovers. The ruling Academy, which controls all knowledge of magic, fears technology—and for good reason. Beneath ancient ruins lie remnants of the Vanguard, a lost civilization that once stood at the pinnacle of both science and sorcery. And within those ruins, Elias discovers a chilling truth: he is not the first Technomancer. With war looming between the Academy and forces beyond the stars, Elias must race against time to unearth the secrets of Project Genesis, unlock the power of the legendary war armor, and fight enemies who see him as either a threat or a savior. As his inventions evolve, so too does the battlefield—pushing him from a lone engineer into a commander, and ultimately, the only one who can stand between humanity and extinction. But history has a habit of repeating itself. The last Technomancer failed. Elias refuses to. In a world where magic dominates, he will rise as the first warrior of science. The question is—will he change the world, or will the world break him first?

A mysterious VR game company has unleashed a revolutionary MMORPG, Ascension of Souls, a game so advanced it threatens to blur the line between reality and fiction. Marketed as a groundbreaking innovation, it promised to change the world—but for Leo, it’s far more than just a game. It’s his only hope for survival. Thrown into an expansive, ever-shifting world, Leo fights alongside a growing circle of powerful allies—each with their own ambitions, rivalries, and hidden pasts. Like them, he can level up, grow stronger, and carve his path through a world where strength is everything. But unlike anyone else, he possesses a pair of mysterious bracelets, a power seemingly tied to him alone, unlocking fragmented memories of a past he doesn’t remember. As whispers of forgotten legends surface and unseen forces pull the strings behind the game’s mechanics, Leo realizes that survival isn’t just about leveling up—it’s about unraveling a truth buried deep within the game itself. But uncovering the truth comes at a cost—one that could rewrite everything he knows

---WSA ENTRY 2025--- Nox Sillon had lived in a world of power and chaos. Born into an empire where the strong ruled and the weak perished, he never once questioned his reality. The world was as it had always been—a place where magic reigned, wars raged, and only those with ambition could carve their own fate. Nox had no grand lineage, no divine prophecy to guide him. He wasn’t destined for greatness, nor was he some forgotten heir to an ancient legacy. But that never mattered. He didn’t need fate’s blessing—only the strength to take what was his. Through sheer will and ruthless cunning, Nox clawed his way through the ranks, navigating a world where betrayal lurked behind every smile, where strength was the only currency that mattered. But as he ascends, something feels… wrong. Events unfold in ways he cannot explain, as if an unseen force is pulling the strings. Shadows whisper of truths that should not exist. Powerful figures—ones who should have been untouchable—begin to fall as though following a script. And somewhere, in the depths of his mind, a strange thought lingers. A name he has never heard. A presence he cannot grasp. Something—someone—is out there. Watching. Waiting. And for the first time in his life, Nox Sillon begins to wonder—is he truly free, or has his path already been written? No matter the answer, one truth remains. If fate dares to stand in his way… he will tear it apart with his own hands. ——— Spin-Off series of 'The Extra's Transcension' Takes place in the same universe.

(Chapters 1 to 40 are being edited right now) (Note: Reading Prologue is not necessary, hence why it's an Auxiliary Chapter) The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it.
