I Ascend Alone-Chapter 65: Sovereign Part II

My breathing was ragged, my abyssal energy still burning fiercely.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

The Shadeborn Sovereign dropped to one knee, abyssal mist pouring from its wounds.

It raised its head, its glowing violet eyes locking onto me.

And then, in a voice that echoed across the Abyss itself—

It spoke.

"You... are worthy."

A pulse of power erupted from its body, shaking the entire Forsaken Realm.

The system's notification flashed.

Abyssal energy surged around me, condensing into pure power as the Shadeborn Sovereign's essence merged with my own. The weight of sovereignty settled upon me—not just as a ruler of the abyss, but as its true Monarch.

My vision pulsed with dark light as the system's rewards manifested before me.

A deep exhale left my lips. The feeling of growth wasn't just numbers—I could sense my muscles refining, my reflexes sharpening, and my mind processing information at an even faster rate.

But now, it was time to check the System Shop.

***

[ System Shop – Available Balance: 20,500 Gold Coins ]

The interface changed, revealing an extensive marketplace filled with weapons, armor, artifacts, and consumables. Some items were greyed out—likely because they required higher ranks or specific conditions to unlock.

I scrolled through, searching for high-value items that would enhance my newfound strength.

-

[ Featured Items ]

1. Bow of the Abyss Monarch – Nox'Thalos (Ruler's Longbow) – 27,500 Gold

A weapon forged from the abyss itself, wielded only by those who have achieved true sovereignty. Nox'Thalos is not a mere bow—it is a manifestation of the Abyss Monarch's authority.

Attack Power: +1,200

Effect 1: Shadowpiercer Arrows – Arrows fired from this bow ignore 20% of an enemy's defense and gain an armor-penetrating effect.

Effect 2: Phantom Volley – Holding a shot for two seconds automatically generates two additional energy arrows, tripling the number of projectiles fired.

Effect 3: Boundless Range – The bow adjusts its trajectory based on intent, allowing near-impossible shots to land accurately.

2. Abyss Monarch's Regalia (Mythic-Grade Armor) ( Invisible Set of Armor ) – 18,000 Gold Coins

A set of armor forged from the abyss itself, enhancing both offense and defense.

Effects:

+2000 HP

+100 Strength & Agility

3. Sovereign's Elixir (Unique Consumable) – 2,000 Gold Coins

A rare potion that permanently boosts all stats by +10.

My gaze lingered on the Abyss Monarch's Regalia—a piece of gear fit for my title. It would not only increase my survivability but also strengthen my attacks.

I selected it.

[ Purchase Confirmed. 18,000 Gold Coins Deducted. ]

That left me with 2,500 gold—just enough for the Sovereign's Elixir.

[ Purchase Confirmed. 2,000 Gold Coins Deducted. ]

[ System Notice ]

[ Abyss Monarch's Regalia has been added to your inventory. ]

[ Sovereign's Elixir has been added to your inventory. ]

Without delay, I equipped the armor, feeling its abyssal energy merge with my presence. My body felt lighter, stronger, and more resilient all at once.

Then, I took out the Sovereign's Elixir—a swirling black liquid within a crystalline vial. Without hesitation, I drank it.

A rush of energy flooded my veins.
