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

"You said you have no other way," Gale accused, "that is clearly a lie, like many other lies you have told me."

A pained expression appeared on Saarya's face as she regarded him. "Yes, there are other ways," she said, "but none of them showed even a glimmer of hope for success. Although you had your head in the right place, you lacked the much-needed drive to rise to the challenge."

"So you decided to play dead after saving me?" Gale glowered at her.

"Yes," Saarya admitted, pain showing through her expression.

"I hope your scheme worked," Gale shouted at her, turning his face, "even if it broke me."

"It did," Saarya said, appearing before him. She touched his cheek with her palm, drawing his head to look at her. "If not for the Thunderfiend, you would have already reached the point where I needed you."

Gale still glowered at her, even though he knew fairly well that he couldn't stay angry at her for much longer.
