How to survive in the Romance Fantasy Game

Chapter 336: Ascension Interlude



I had expected some kind of reaction from the demonic cultists upon activating [Divine Will]. But not like this.

Not to this extent at least....

"Fooh..."

A slow, steady breath escaped my lips. Short yet long. Calm yet unnaturally composed.

Then-

[Recalculating level...]

[Base Level: 141] → [+705]

[Temporary Level: 846]

The numbers flashed violently in my vision, the system's notifications blaring incessantly, yet they felt distant-irrelevant.

Because at that moment, something inside me ignited.

A sensation far beyond mere strength, beyond power, beyond comprehension-divinity itself.

It was so overwhelming, so all-consuming, that for a moment, it felt foreign-as if I were no longer myself, as if something greater had descended into my very being.

[Strength: EX]

[Agility: EX]

[Endurance: EX]

[Luck: EX]

[Power: EX]

My body was blazing with raw, unchecked power.

It surged through every fiber of my being, searing my existence with an overwhelming realization:

Every action I took from this moment on would interrupt the natural flow of the world itself.

It felt like a single step, a single breath, a single movement from me could erase the academy in its entirety.

A force comparable to not just a nuclear bomb-but thousands of them, concentrated, given form, given will.

And yet...

I was calm.

My heartbeat was normal.

Despite the cataclysmic energy roaring within me, my mind remained eerily serene.

And then-I saw it.

The world. Clearer than ever before.

Not just mana.

Not just magic.

But the very fabric of reality itself.

The flows of power, the conflicting streams of mana intertwining in the air, the delicate threads of existence woven together-

Dimensional rifts.

Dozens. Hundreds.

They bled through every direction, no longer hidden from my sight.

Tears in reality itself.

Each one a gateway-a connection to realms beyond this world.

And in that moment, one undeniable truth settled into my mind.

This divinity.

This power was never meant to exist in a mortal plane.

I understood that now.

And it made sense.

It explained why, in the game, players needed an innate domain or had to rely on Alice's presence just to withstand even a fragment of ascension's power.

Without it, the weight of divine energy would crush them, unraveling their existence under its sheer magnitude.

Yet here I was, standing beneath a sky that was no longer just a sky-but a veil, thin and fragile, stretched over the truth of reality itself.

The dimensional rifts shimmered before me.

Some were clear, close, almost tangible-others lay further in the distance, faint outlines against the vast expanse of unseen worlds.

A part of me wondered why.

Why were only some rifts visible while others remained obscured?

Was it a matter of perspective?

Power?

Or something beyond my comprehension?
