In a world where the power was measured by the mystical circles of mages and knights, Rufus is the estranged son of a noble duke who becomes the embodiment of inadequacy. Being born in the opulence of the Verdant Dominion and being less than what his family puts him up to elicits scorn and dismissal. After a final, crushing confrontation with his father, Rufus is banished and left to wander a world that seems utterly indifferent to his very existence. It is on this path of desperation that he arrives in the Whispering Shadow Grove, a place surrounded by dark legend and where all dread to tread. With a mix of desperation and a greater, unexplained urge pushing him forward, Rufus ventures into the core of the grove. It is there, amidst eerie shadows and haunting whispers, that he comes face-to-face with the Celestial Convergence system—a transformative power that opens the vision of unlimited strength. As Rufus accepts this newfound power, he reaches the level of Transcendent Cosmic Entity by gaining control over the very fabric of reality, and becomes a cosmic influence of unholy enormity. However, with great power comes profound responsibility. His grove's trials test not just his strength but the depth of his soul and push him to master his abilities while wrestling with the shadows of his past. In "Ascension of the Banished," Rufus travels on an epic journey from little outcast to cosmic force, recounting his story of redemption, transformation, and relentless pursuit for self-worth in the vast universe, ever-expanding from the parameter of power. Such omnipotence brings about the challenges with the help of Rufus, the eighth son who rises to reshape the cosmos; shadows must be faced that still linger within, and a way forged through to a destiny which will echo through the annals of time. . . . . . please give me feedback.
