Aimless Ascension

[Webnovel's Fantasy Carnival Winner] Gale was summoned into a mysterious world of magic and monsters when some crazy practitioners messed with higher-dimensional laws. So begins the tale of a hero. Although most of his adventures turned out to be disastrous, it couldn't stop him from becoming the most notorious outworlder in existence. From a destitute slave to a wandering minstrel, Gale voyaged across treacherous terrain and somehow wound up as the infamous king of the desolate Wild. Eventually, his insatiable thirst for power and greatness led him astray, as Gale had to change occupation again. This time as a humble farmer. Somehow he was disastrous in that too, as accidentally, Gale developed his little farm to a holy ground of spirit arts. Now all aspiring practitioners—no matter whether it's a scion of Great clans or Jade beauty who can topple kingdoms—want to join. - - - Disclaimer: This story introduces a framing narrative and written two timelines side by side. One is the present timeline, and the other is Gale's adventures since he was summoned. ________ Discord: https://discord.gg/DFynG4y4Na

". . . I'm Old."

My frown deepened. Of course, they have something to increase longevity. Why I haven't thought of that?

"How old is Old exactly?" I asked, interested.

The woman arched an eyebrow. "Looks like you have much to learn yet," she said. "Don't you know it's bad manners to ask a woman's age? But for the records, I'm easily several times older than you."

I swallowed.

"Yeah," she smiled, and I wasn't sure if she was playing with me or not. "For your world I'm ancient."

I had no idea if she was telling the truth or simply joking, but it easily frustrated me. That seemed to enliven her, which was a win, I guessed.

"Enough about me. Tell me about yourself again. What were you before you were summoned?"

"I was a regular student. . . ." I answered her as truthfully as I could. I couldn't find anything in my memory that could excite or even impress her. If she really was as ancient as she told me, she probably had encountered hundreds of the likes of me.
