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

After all was said and done, Zai's time in Linan ended along with her career. In just two weeks, she readied as much as she could before handing over command of the Dawnravens, which as predicted fell to Major Hong as acting commander. While a new one was being selected, it would take some time.

In between her final duties, she collected her back pay, combat pay, and the pay for her unused leave, which she decided to take all at once.

"Um, is this number correct?" Zai had asked the financial officer at the Tenth Starday Building.

"General Suleika said to give you every Qian owed, and I triple-checked it myself," the man behind the desk had said.

Qian used only whole numbers for its currency, but even so, Zai hadn't expected to see a nearly eight-figure sum.

Assuming she didn't move anywhere expensive, Zai would have enough to last her family a lifetime.
