Henry was an ordinary man—until he wasn’t. Succumbing to brain cancer while reading a light novel about the transmigration of mortals into gods, Henry awakens in a new reality as an angel. Reborn in the service of Goddess Boltia, the deity of nature, Henry quickly discovers he’s no ordinary angel. He’s armed with a mysterious system that grants him unprecedented advantages, making his ascent through the angelic hierarchy far easier than others. Reincarnated as Aetherion, the lowest rank of angel, Henry must now navigate his new divine existence among other angels, unaware that their new brother is a reincarnation from another world. Under the watchful eyes of the goddess and her archangel, Suriel, Aetherion begins his divine journey, bound to Boltia but secretly driven by his ultimate desire: to ascend to godhood. As Aetherion trains and grows in power, he becomes increasingly aware of the Sacred Flame, an ancient and potent source of divine power guarded by Goddess Boltia herself. The system tells him that the flame holds the key to his rapid evolution. After a series of intense battles against corrupted creatures and growing encounters with his fellow angels, Aetherion learns that the only way to truly unlock his potential is to seize the Sacred Flame from Boltia. With the Sacred Flame, Aetherion will evolve—breaking through multiple levels in the divine hierarchy, advancing from Archangel to the exalted rank of Thrones, a being of immense power. But there’s a catch: after obtaining the flame, he must leave the Divine Realm and sleep within the flame at his sanctuary, a process that will allow him to merge with the Sacred Fire and evolve once again. While Aetherion grows stronger, his divine mission becomes clear: he must gather followers, define his own religion, and build a sanctuary where the Sacred Flame can burn brightly without Boltia’s interference. His followers, drawn from the Sky Folk, an ancient race of psychic mortals, become his trusted disciples, and with the help of his loyal eagles, Astralis and Celestaris, Aetherion begins to carve his own path toward divinity. Yet, the deeper Aetherion descends into this celestial world, the more he realizes that power comes with a price. He must outsmart Boltia, face her divine guardians, and navigate a delicate balance between ambition and loyalty. As he ascends through the angelic ranks, Aetherion must also maintain the trust of his followers while confronting those who would stand in his way—including the very gods he once served. Ascendants: Angelic Path is a sweeping tale of divine ambition, faith, and the pursuit of godhood. Filled with epic battles, celestial politics, and Aetherion’s rise to unimaginable power, this story follows a man determined to reach the pinnacle of the divine hierarchy, no matter the cost.
