"The realm of Ascendants..."
The words hung in the air, thick with significance. A chill ran down Ethan's spine as the gravity of the revelation settled in. The term somehow triggered something within him.
Ethan thought about the Ascension Points he earned as rewards for completing missions.
'Ascension... Ascendants... This can't just be a coincidence,' he thought.
His mind raced, piecing together fragments of information, but he kept his thoughts to himself. Instead, he looked back at Mark, his expression steady.
"So… what exactly does it mean to become an Ascendant?" he asked, his voice calm despite the storm of thoughts swirling in his head. "I mean what's so special about reaching this realm?"
Mark and Maya exchanged a glance, and Ethan knew the answer would be anything but simple.
