After his dead, August found himself in the exact opposite side of the world from where he should have been. Bone-cold temperature was nothing to him. He had become an ascender.
In the world where a giant mountain range separate its land into two. Both live in a different way. One adapts mysticism into their life, while one adapts it into their future. One who chose to warship their gods, while one works along with theirs. A magic and a technology must be balance.
Are ascenders just a faithful worshipper of gods? Or they are a species evolved from humanity. What they know to their nature is little to none. Is their humanity worth the power they got?
