Age of Adepts - Chapter 1501: Battle of the Gods

“If he’s being badass, I’m gonna plant my own crops. If he messes with me, he will not live past next year.”

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That’s why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality. The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all. Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world. It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues. Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die. His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him. The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle.

Wen Jiang, whose soul had failed the deification tribulation, was struck into a strange world.Here, she became the sadistic protagonist of a tragic romance, enduring a love-hate relationship that bordered on life and death. After the original protagonist was beaten to death, she was even bound to a Drawing System that catered to such tragic heroines.System: “Draw cards! I have everything you need—the Beauty and Skincare Card, the Rose Body Fragrance Card, the Pitiful and Charming Card—all the looks the male lead desires. Your mission is to assist the male lead in becoming the greatest support in the world!”The once fearsome Wen Jiang, who would draw her sword and strike anyone she disliked: “......”......In this world, humans could summon Divine Beast card spirits for combat after a great war.However, the Yunxia Empire experienced a civilizational break after a large-scale war, not as intact as the Western civilization.The West possessed the pantheon of cards systems, including the Angel System, each of which was incredibly powerful.The civilization of the Yunxia Empire was lacking; the Phoenix, the true Dragon, the legendary Four Divine Beasts, and so on, were nowhere to be found.In the world card competition, they suffered repeated defeats, subjected to endless ridicule by the Western Empire.Latter, with the Azure Dragon card in her left hand and the White Tiger card in her right, Wen Jiang stepped on the Western countries, slapping the faces of everyone in the world.System: “Where's the male lead? Where's my big male lead?”(The male lead was drawn from the cards)

It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway.

Okay, one of those three didn’t sound right...

I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way.

Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday.

A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it.

I must be a pretty weird guy, then.

Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What’s next, vampires?
