Year 24,991 | 10th Month Glacis | Day 20
Time: 3:00 AM
The world was still cloaked at night.
A grey light began to bleed faintly from the eastern horizon, whispering the promise of dawn.
But for Jakartha City, sunrise carried no hope.
Only dread.
Tonight wasn't a battle, it was a reckoning.
The final wave had come.
A tide of monstrous beasts, each at the 3rd Star Peak Stage, surged toward the city's outer defenses. Their goal? One thing only utter annihilation.
Of the five hundred Otherworlder Ascendants who stood their ground hours ago... only a hundred remained.
Blood soaked the battlefield, mingling with shimmering mana residue.
Corpses of slain beasts littered the outskirts twisted, burned, shattered like broken statues.
The survivors? Barely upright.
Breaths ragged. Limbs trembling. But hands still gripped their weapons like lifelines.
THUD!
BOOM!
DHOOM!
DHOOM!
The ground quaked beneath heavy footsteps.
Ten towering beasts approached.
Each one radiated an oppressive aura that felt like death itself pressing down from above.
Terror crawled up the warriors' spines. Even the bravest among them felt their knees wobble.
And yet, amidst the fear…
A young man stepped forward.
Jack.
His eyes narrowed. His aura flared, subtle but unyielding.
The air thickened and mana stirred.
He raised a trembling hand to his temple and whispered, low and calm:
"Eye of Truth… Activate."
DING!
A pulse of energy shot from his iris. The world blurred
Then snapped into hyper-clarity.
Streams of glowing runes danced before his vision. Names. Stats. Origins.
Ten profiles unraveled in rapid sequence, feeding into his Sea of Knowledge.

----
Jack absorbed every detail. His pupils glowed faintly.
He exhaled slowly.
"Ten of them… Each one a nightmare."
All around him, the last remaining warriors gritted their teeth.
A silence heavier than death settled over the battlefield
Until a harpy shrieked.
SKREEEEE!
The beasts moved.
And so did Jack.
THUD!
WHOOSH!
BOOM!
CRACK!
Just about to the final battle had begun. He thought a member and activate his Eye Of Truth On All Ascendants present, So He could check their status.
After peaking at their information, He supriseed because over 100 people present only 10 Ascendants have Main Blessings. Others all with minor blessings.
Then he made a decision.
-----
Jack's pupils trembled.
He was stunned. These weren't ordinary monster logs. Even the Adventurer Guild's Beast Encyclopedia didn't come close.
Weaknesses exposed. Patterns laid bare.
Roles, instincts, and lethality all burned into his mind.
A cold dread gripped him, yanking him back to reality.
He looked around.
It's will very hard fight those powerful beast with few having Main Blessings. They can't survive in this Battle if can't help them.
Ascendants his fellow warriors from Earth, now hardened Otherworlders stood frozen.
Not from wounds. But from the crushing weight of fear. Pale faces. Trembling hands. Knees buckling.
Because these weren't just monsters.
They were executioners. Walking calamities.
Jack clenched his fists.
He inhaled deep, sharp, steady.
Then he roared.
"LISTEN TO ME ALL OF YOU!!
His voice tore through the battlefield like a warhorn. It echoed like rolling thunder, striking every ear, breaking through panic and despair.
"My fellow travelers from Blue Planet… before you face those monsters YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS!"
Heads snapped toward him.
Even amidst chaos… they listened.
Because Jack wasn't just any 2nd Star Mid-Stage Ascendant.
He had saved their lives. He had stood firm where others broke. He had led, bled, and turned the tide more than once tonight.
So when he spoke, they heard hope.
He continued, voice firm, eyes blazing:
"I hold a Minor Blessing… it lets me glimpse the truth of beings stronger than myself one full Stage higher."
Gasps rippled across the crowd.
But Jack didn't reveal the truth.Not the Superior Blessing. Not the Eye of Truth tied to a nameless True God.
No one could know. Not even his own parents.
Because if it ever got out…It would bring doom greater than any monster.
So instead, he chose his words carefully.
"This blessing revealed their weaknesses."
"Everything, habits, patterns, fatal points. More than any book, any lorekeeper, any guild archive could ever show."
He raised his blade high.
"With this knowledge we don't have to die. We don't have to guess. We don't have to lose!"
With that Jack reveal one of his Secret to All people present, even though it's little. It's Secret offer all. But Life And Death Situation of these Otherworlders Ascendants making Jack to Compramize.
A silence fell heavy, electric.
Then…A breath. A stir. A spark.
Hope. Determination. Fire.
They could feel it now because knowledge was power.
And the final wave?
They would not meet it with fear.
They would fight.
And this time they would fight to win.
