Chapter 6: The Ascendant’s Hall

At the end of the Shadowed Corridor, Lucas found himself standing before an enormous pair of gilded doors. The surface was etched with runes that glowed faintly in the dark, the symbols flickering as though alive. With a deep breath, Lucas pushed open the doors and entered the Ascendant's Hall.

Inside was a vast chamber, its ceiling lost in shadows, but the floors gleamed like polished marble. At the center of the room stood a towering pedestal, upon which rested a large crystal orb, pulsing with an ethereal light.

As Lucas approached, a figure appeared before him—a man in flowing robes, his face obscured by a hood. His voice was soft but carried an air of ancient wisdom.

"Welcome, Rogue of Eternum," the figure said. "You have passed the Trials of Ascension. Now, you must choose your path. This world is vast, and your journey has only just begun. Will you lead an army to conquer lands? Will you delve into the forgotten dungeons of this world, seeking power and secrets? Or will you carve your own legend, taking on the greatest challenges this world has to offer?"

Lucas swallowed, his heart racing with anticipation. He had come this far, but the real journey was just beginning. The world of Eternum was vast, and the choices ahead of him were endless. He was no longer a passive participant in a world of fantasy—he was a force in it, a player with the power to shape his destiny.
