Ava, a radiant 7-foot celestial, exuded both grace and authority. Her platinum-blonde hair shimmered like threads of divine light, shifting between silver and gold beneath the morning sun. Violet-gold eyes, flickering with sacred wisdom, pierced into the very depths of one's soul. With flawless features, porcelain skin, and a commanding yet elegant voluptuous figure enhancing her ethereal beauty, she embodied celestial perfection. Her flowing silver-white robe draped over her curvaceous form, while two majestic white-gold wings unfurled behind her marking her as a Lesser Angel (Neophyte Angel).
FWOOOSH!
A single streak of golden light tore through the sky, illuminating the heavens like a descending comet. Unlike the grand celestial army that had swept across the lands, this being did not come to seek many.
She had come for a select few.
Her destination?
Jack's home.
-----
Far from the bustling cities, nestled in the wilderness, Jack's family spent their days in relentless training. The rhythmic clash of swords, the crackling hum of magic, and the steady cadence of their breath filled the clearing. The morning sun had barely crested the horizon, casting long golden streaks over the land.
Then
A presence.
A weight descended upon them, an overwhelming yet familiar divine pressure. The very air thickened, vibrating with an ethereal warmth.
CRACK!
The sky ripped open.
From the radiant golden light, she emerged.
Ava.
Her platinum-blonde hair cascaded like celestial silk, and her violet-gold eyes shone with unshaken resolve. Her presence was both soothing and formidable, a beacon of serenity yet a force of divine power.
She had returned.
For them.
Jack, James, Emma, and Sofia stood frozen, staring in shock.
Finally, Jack found his voice.
"Miss Angel... Ava?"
Ava chuckled softly, a sound like the chime of sacred bells.
"Good morning, Jack, James, Emma, and Sofia. It's good to see you again."
The family exchanged stunned glances before replying in unison:
"Nice to meet you again, Miss Angel."
Sofia beamed, stepping forward with excitement.
"Big Sis, how are you? You look so beautiful today!"
Ava's golden gaze softened as she smiled.
"Thank you, little Sofia. That's very sweet of you."
Emma hesitated, then stepped forward, her brows furrowing.
"Miss Angel… your sudden return… Does it have something to do with us?"
Ava's smile deepened. She crossed her arms beneath her ample chest, radiating quiet confidence.
"I like your direct approach. Yes, my visit is connected to you… and the future of all Otherworlders."
Her gaze sharpened, her violet-gold irises burning like twin flames.
"The Gods have issued their Second Divine Decree."
Jack's expression hardened. He could already tell this was no ordinary decree.
"What does it say?" he asked.
Ava raised a single finger.
SHIIIING!
A golden inscription materialized in the air, its luminous script humming with divine resonance.
"There are Five Grand Tasks that shall reshape the Otherworlders Continent and all who dwell within it."
Her voice, steady and unyielding, echoed like a celestine prophecy.
---
The Second Divine Decree
1. Reveal the True Ascendants' Path – Awaken the Otherworlders to their destined journey.
2. Establish Guilds – Bring order across the continent and select the finest staff from Samsara to form Guilds across Otherworlders Continent.
3. Gather the greatest Production-Class Masters – Spread the knowledge of crafting, forging, alchemy, and the many arts of creation to Otherworlders.
4. Train the Otherworlders in Magic and Combat – Sharpen their skills according to their affinities and potential.
5. Bestow an initial blessing – Each Otherworlder shall receive 100 gold coins to aid their new beginning.
As her words faded into the wind, the golden inscriptions burned into the air, their essence merging with the very fabric of existence.
A silence fell.
The world held its breath.
This decree would change everything.
Forever.
-------
Ava looked directly at Jack and his family, her expression growing serious.
"And I have chosen your family to guide this path. This will take a long time."
The air grew still.
The weight of her words settled upon them like an unshakable truth.
Their fates had changed.
Once again.
And the true journey was only beginning.
Ava's gaze swept over them, her violet-gold eyes shimmering with intrigue. Then, with a flicker of surprise, she smiled.
"And what a surprise… You three have already become Ascendants."
Jack, Emma, and James tensed at her words.
FWOOSH!
A sudden rush of divine energy crackled around Ava, as if resonating with the revelation.
Jack stepped forward, his voice steady yet filled with gratitude.
"It's all thanks to you, Miss Angel. The books you gave us were invaluable."
Emma beamed. "Yes! Yes! Thank you so much, Miss Angel! It helped us so much!"
James, usually composed, was equally moved. "I even asked my friends… None of them received a book detailing the world's time cycle, the Ascendant System, or the power ranking in such depth. And you are given a complete world map! It was beyond what we could have imagined."
Ava's approving smile deepened.
"That's good to hear. Just remember this favor." She paused, her gaze lingering on Jack.
Her words carried weight and an expectation of the future.
After all…
Ava had high hopes for this family.
Especially Jack.
His potential was limitless.
Ava was no ordinary Angel. She has special blessings that could guess the future achievements of those she meets. It's like 7th sense
She was okay a Lesser Angel (Neophyte Angel) but she sought more.
To ascend to a Four-Winged Angel (Greater Angel / Warden) was a nearly impossible feat.
Yet when the Otherworlders' Continent merged into Samsara, she found hope.
Jack and his family were that hope.
If she guided them to power… If they became forces to be reckoned with…
Then her ascension would be guaranteed.
A win-win situation.
For both.
-----
"Now we turned to main topic"
Ava turned her gaze back to them.
"Out of the Five Grand Tasks, three fall under my responsibility."
She raised a hand, golden energy swirling around her fingertips.
"The first task… is already complete."
She smiled.
"You are all already Ascendants. That fulfills my first mission."
The family nodded, understanding the gravity of what they had achieved.
Ava continued.
"The second task… is the distribution of gold, as decreed by the Gods. Every Otherworlder receives 100 gold coins as their starting funds. Since your family has four members… that amounts to 400 gold coins."
CLINK!
Ava reached into her space ring, and in a shimmering burst of golden light, a pouch filled with heavy gold coins materialized in her hand.
She extended it toward them.
James, as the head of the family, stepped forward and took the pouch. His experienced hands quickly counted the coins.
His brows furrowed.
"Miss Angel… You said 400 gold coins. But there are 500 here. Why is that?"
Ava chuckled, her radiant wings fluttering slightly.
"Consider it a personal gift."
She reached into her space ring once more.
SHING!
A beautifully engraved 2-Star Space Ring appeared between her fingers.
"Take this as well. It's a 2-Star storage ring with plenty of space."
James' eyes widened in shock.
"No, no! We can't accept this. It's too valuable."
His hands trembled as he tried to return the gold and the ring.
Ava, however, simply shook her head, amusement flickering in her celestial gaze.
"It's nothing to me, James. Just a small gesture of appreciation."
Her voice softened, carrying a hint of something deeper something mysterious.
"If it makes you uncomfortable… then remember me when your family achieves greatness. When that day comes, I will need your help."
A pause.
Then, finally
James smiled.
"Alright then… We will not forget this kindness."
Standing beside him, Jack clenched his fists, his heart pounding.
'This debt… I will repay it a hundredfold.'
Ava, on the other hand, merely scoffed.
She had no idea
This small act of kindness would one day change her life entirely.
Ava clapped her hands together, her divine aura flaring with excitement.
"And now… the final task."
Her violet-gold eyes glowed.
"I will teach you the ways of magic spells and combat skills."
SHIIING!
The wind howled as celestial energy surged around her, igniting the air with raw power.
Her wings spread wide, casting a brilliant glow upon the land.
The true training
Was about to begin.
