Chapter 300: Between Dawn and Death
For countless years, the embodint of Love, Sex, and the embodint of Beauty lived among the first two Heavens of the Earth Plane.
Ash’s "heart" was none other than the Transcendent Concept of Beauty, Radiance, and Light given form.
She was Eidora, a woman whose na echoed through the heavens long before Ash ever knew her. From the mont they t in that quiet café, not a single day passed without them finding their way back to each other.
Through Eidora, Ash discovered the true aning of love.
It wasn’t rely a feeling he held for her — it reached far deeper.
She beca the catalyst that opened his "eyes." Before her, he never sought power; it simply flowed to him through his connection to won.
But with her, he understood its purpose.
And he, in turn, beca a catalyst for her.
Imagine being the embodint of Beauty — the endless attention, the desire, the obsession from n and won alike... and the enemies born from that sa desire.
It forced Eidora into sothing of a reclusive monster, a being who hid her radiance simply to survive.
Yet the Cycles of Ti passed like a flowing river. And after five full cycles together, the mont finally ca for them to move forward.
----
The First Heaven stretched endlessly beneath them — a vast, shimring expanse inhabited only by won.
During his ti watching over this incarnation, Ash had learned far more than he expected.
The first revelation — and perhaps the most staggering — was that the Lower Dinsion and the Middle Dinsion had not been created in the sa mont. The Lower Dinsion had existed for only 47 Cycles.
But according to Eidora, the Middle Dinsion’s history stretched back nearly 150 Cycles.
Which led to the situation on the First Heaven. In all that ti, not a single Ascendant had risen from the Lower Dinsion.
Aside from the rare visitor from the higher Heavens... every woman here belonged to him — not in ownership, but in resonance. Even with Eidora at his side, he couldn’t help but share his love with those who carried it etched into their hearts.
And Eidora didn’t mind.
She understood their type of existence far better than he did.
This led to the second revelation. The natural birth of a Transcendent Concept was unimaginably rare.
So rare that if such a birth occurred in a Heaven above the 50th, entire wars would erupt.
The birth of a Concept ant the Dinsion itself was missing sothing essential.
And in this case, it had been missing pleasurable love.
Ash also learned the rest of the ranking system — at least up to the High Dinsion — and with each new truth, the world he thought he understood grew wider, deeper, and far more ancient.
Their laughter drifted like wind??chis, their auras glowing in soft pastels that painted the horizon. From the balcony of a floating pavilion, Ash and Eidora lay curled together beneath a veil of warm light.
Eidora rested her head on his chest, her dark black hair spilling over him like the night itself.
Ash’s arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close as if anchoring her to the mont. For a while, neither spoke.
They simply watched the First Heaven breathe — a world of serenity built atop cycles of Love and Sex.
"It’s peaceful here," Ash murmured, brushing a thumb along her shoulder. "Almost makes
forget what waits above."
Eidora’s lips curved into a faint, knowing smile. "You’ve grown too much to stay in the lower Heavens forever."
She shifted slightly, looking up at him with eyes that held galaxies.
"Early Dinsional Ascendant... that is no small rank, Ash. Most beings spend tens of cycles trying to reach it."
He exhaled, not out of doubt, but acceptance. "And yet the 50th Heaven is your ho.... I can only imagine what waits for us there."
Her expression softened, but a shadow flickered behind her beauty — a rare crack in the goddess??like composure she always carried.
"There is sothing you must know before we go," she whispered. "The 50th Heaven is not like the others. Power there is... absolute... and ancient. Also, not everyone will welco our return."
Ash tightened his hold on her. "You an your rival."
Eidora nodded slowly. "She has opposed
since childhood. An eternal rival — one who would do anything to see
fall." Her fingers curled into his chest, not out of fear, but resolve.
"If she learns you’re with ... she will not hesitate."
Ash tilted her chin gently, eting her gaze. "Sounds like she’s just missing so loving, right?"
A soft laugh escaped her — fragile, luminous, touched with centuries of longing. "You always say that... but with her? I’m not so sure."
They fell into silence again, watching the First Heaven glow beneath them.
The plane of won shimred like a living tapestry, unaware that two beings on its highest balcony were preparing to step into a realm where love, power, and destiny would collide.
Eidora nestled closer, her voice barely above a breath.
"When we enter the 50th Heaven... stay by my side. No matter what."
Ash kissed the top of her head, his aura flaring with quiet determination.
"Always."
From that mont on, the First Heaven saw them no more.
---
Though Ash knew every woman there still carried him in their hearts, he — the embodint of Love and Sex — could not remain confined to a single realm.
As they ascended, Ash experienced each Heaven unfold beneath them like pages in a cosmic chronicle.
Every stop was a different plane unto itself, each one shaped by the desires, fears, and histories of the beings who once lived there.
The Second Heaven was a realm of endless gardens — forests of towering oaks, rivers that shimred with liquid mana, and mountains whose peaks could not be seen with the naked eye... even for beings like them.
And so, it continued — each Heaven stranger, older, more mythic than the last. Yet all this ti, the current Ash had been thinking.
’Just when did he step beyond normality?’ he wondered.
He knew for certain his first vision had co back in the mortal ranks.
Yet this one — this incarnation — had been born in the Cosmic Overlord rank and had already reached the Dinsional Ascendant rank, the stage beyond Transcendent.
Which ant... he still knew nothing of his Origins.
Not that it mattered much in itself...
Ash himself had always done whatever he felt like, never following so guide left behind by his other incarnations.
Yet five full cycles had passed, and technically... this incarnation hadn’t made any strides greater than those who ca before.
----
When they finally reached the 50th Heaven, Ash imdiately sensed the difference.
It was nothing like the realms below.
The higher they climbed, the less the Heavens resembled the mortal world of Earth — and yet, paradoxically, the more they resembled Earth’s ancient past.
Here, it felt as though they were traveling backward through ti.
And now, they stood upon a plane that mirrored the Ice Age.
[A/N: Eidora is not her na by the way. It’s her Transcendent Concept... I will reveal her na in the last Chapter of the visions.]
