A man who rose from nothing and was climbing his way to the top finds himself at the bottom of the pit once again. Becoming an orphan at six, after his father was shot and his mother committed suicide, he rose from poverty and broke through limits the world had set on him. And yet fate is a cruel one, teaching a lesson to those who do not know their place in the world. Dethroned from his rightful position and abandoned by those he cared for, he had hit rock like he had twenty seven years ago. Being thrown back to square one, he condemns the world for his misgivings, questioning why he was the victim of such unfortunate events. But  at the moment he was about to achieve his vengeance, the world stopped as he found himself enshrouded in white light and transported to foreign realm far different from the one he knew. A world where swords are used to vanquish enemies and where magic permeates everything, from the air people breathe to the water they drink. And now armed with only the clothes on his back, an odd looking status screen, and an unyielding resolve, that man will seek to defy fate once again. This is his story, as he does anything and everything in order to rise to top. This is the story of his Ascendancy.
