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.

Zai

Zai would have crossed her arms if she wasn't in her frame.

"A duel?" she asked, toggling her speakers off immediately after.

"Yes," the Ascendant of Steel replied enthusiastically. "You and me. Steel against Devilsteel!"

As he went on and on, Zai sighed. Never mind the fact that her foreign codename seemed to be some kind of derivative of his, the man was clearly a romantic idiot.

He complained vociferously about how War had "lost its meaning" in modern times. How individual soldiers didn't matter unless they were "strong like us," making Zai roll her eyes and swear in the privacy of her frame. She didn't want to be lumped in with a soul eater.

"...and that is why, only you are my worthy opponent. Only together can we reclaim what war was... We two warriors, two Knights, fighting not just for our beliefs but for ourselves, to learn once and for all who is the strongest!"
