So…given the most recent discussion, it's a hot take to say that I'm fine not ascending if I have Flayed God?
Don't get it twisted; I find the concept of ascension cool, but I feel like MC wouldn't be opposed to the idea of staying with his family here on the mortal plane, and before u give me that stupid reasoning of watching your loved ones die(I swear this is one of the worst arguments people use to dismiss immortality), as I said, the clan is still here; his descendants and any other relatives who join will still be there.
I understand that ascension is the ultimate goal of the story and am all here

for it, but if the option to stay and take care of the clan appears, I don't think it would be out of character for some MC.
P.S. Please don't cook me in the comments.
