The Draconic System: Rise of To Ascendance

Chapter 50: Consolidation and Next Steps

The battlefield lay still, the remnants of destruction scattered around them. The rush of combat ebbed, leaving Raizen standing amidst the wreckage with a new sense of clarity. His body hummed with the remnants of his ascension, but his mind was already moving forward.

Liana was the first to break the silence. "Now that we've survived that, what's next?"

Raizen exhaled, stretching his shoulders. "House Valen won't stay quiet for long. They know something happened here, and when they find out what, they'll send more than just enforcers."

She nodded. "Then we need to move."

The system pulsed.

[Draconic Ascendance Stabilized]

[Current Status: Energy Equilibrium Achieved]

[Subspace Expansion: Requires Draconic Energy Source]

Raizen filed that information away for later. The Draconic World Subspace would become crucial, but expanding it wasn't a priority yet.

His gaze flicked toward Liana. "We can't stay in one place too long. House Valen has resources, and they'll track us if we're careless."

Liana crossed her arms, considering. "I know a place where we can lay low. It's not safe, but it's out of their direct reach."

Raizen smirked. "That sounds about perfect."

As they prepared to leave, the system pulsed once more.

[New Quest Unlocked: Building the Foundation]

[Objective: Establish a safe base and begin gathering allies]

Raizen's smirk widened. It was time to start moving the pieces into place.

They left the facility behind, moving quickly through the abandoned sectors of the city. The air was thick with tension, the distant hum of patrolling drones a reminder that their escape wasn't entirely unnoticed.

Liana led them through a series of underground tunnels, remnants of a long-forgotten transport system. "This place was used back when the colony was first being developed. Most of the upper-class sectors don't even remember these exist."

Raizen inspected the walls, noting the ancient etchings. "A good place to hide for now."

Liana smirked. "If you don't mind the occasional infestation."

Raizen chuckled. "I'll take bugs over House Valen any day."

As they settled in a secured alcove, the system pulsed again.

[Additional Objective Unlocked: Secure and fortify base location]

Raizen exhaled, leaning against the wall. His war was just beginning.
