Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1457

Chapter 1457: No Consent

Atticus felt the cold rush of intense winds whipping at his body.

’Where am I?’

The blinding light engulfing his eyes cleared, and he found himself staring at an endless sky.

’I’m falling.’

His hair and clothes lashed wildly. He glanced down and fixed his gaze on the endless sea of forest beneath him.

’The Ascension Games.’

Atticus narrowed his eyes and acted swiftly. He reached for his waist and confirmed his katana was still there, then did the same for every other one of his powers.

’My will and mana are all intact. No restrictions.’

He scanned his surroundings next.

’There are others...’

Numerous dots littered the skies from every direction. Other gods.

’I can’t tell who’s who.’

He tried, but failed to spread his will. Though he could still feel and use it, something was blocking it.

’The Verge.’

Atticus gripped his katana, and his eyes turned cold.

The Ascension Games had begun, and any slip up would mean death. It would mean losing everything he’d achieved until now.

’I can’t let my guard down.’

He fixed his eyes on the endless forest below.

’Moving through it is the best option for now.’

Every god was participating. Atticus was confident in himself, but even he knew a viscount was still out of reach, talkless of a count or marquis.

He needed to orient himself. Think, plan, and execute. He needed cover.

Leaning forward, he dove head first. With a burst of force, he shot down like a missile, entering the forest and landing softly.

’They’re massive.’

He swept his eyes around. The forest was unlike anything he’d ever seen before.

The trees appeared like titans, and their leaves were colossal. The sun shone down but only patches of light pierced the forest.

Confirming there was no threat, he narrowed his eyes and focused on the matter at hand.

’What are we supposed to do?’

Each Ascension Games had separate rules, all depending on the Great Verge. The speech he’d given earlier was supposed to be about the rules, but he mentioned nothing about what they were supposed to do.

’Maybe...’

"Rules..." he whispered.

As though the world responded, the air before him rippled, and a list of rules materialized. He read it all with a glance.

’Kingdom building.’

The rules weren’t much and were quite simple. It was termed kingdom building, and just as it sounded, their goal was to capture territory and expand their reach. But of all of them, one rule captured his attention.

’There’re different layers...’

Though the Verge claimed every god must participate, he hadn’t meant they would be on the same playing field. There were different layers for each rank of participating gods.

’The Verge played us.’
