Ascendant: Struggle

Zai, a soldier, and her squad live a life of brutal hit-and-run operations and training the people of Aviye to resist the will of the Hegemons that divided her nation. When a beautiful defector falls into her lap, the terrible secret of how the Hegemony creates its Ascendants, powerful warriors wielding powers only a few understand, is revealed, as well as a lost path to the same power. As Zai and Amri struggle to understand the truth of the path, deadly enemies and even divisions within their own people must be overcome. Yet in the shadows of the Hegemony lurks an enemy far older and more powerful than even they can imagine. -------- I invite you to consider my other works if you are interested: https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-demon-lord-is-an-angel_28486713700592205#review I also have a Discord if you want to communicate with me directly: https://discord.gg/ksJ8dJup4d Special thanks to SapphoAndHerFriend for her support and help with the cover.

Rui

Captain Rui Jeng tried not to let her mood show as she approached the pier. Being an officer in the Aviye Liberation Forces Army, it was her responsibility to maintain discipline in the ranks. Thus, she did not smile as she supervised the on-shoring of the Expeditionary Task Force's reinforcements.

She was dressed in her greens, her flame-red hair hidden under a cap.

Rui maintained a cool stare as the lieutenant in charge of gathering the new officers did her duty, calling out the roll.

Once she was done, Rui took her report - all present except for one ill exception.

"Good work, Lieutenant. I need one volunteer and the rest you can take to get settled in."

The lieutenant saluted and executed a perfect about-face. "The Captain needs a volunteer!" she raised her voice.
