Awakening the Useless Class...But I am Secretly the Strongest!

Amelia slowly read through the entire status screen.

”Wow...”

Her mother also looked surprised.

”She’s much stronger than I expected.”

Ryan nodded.

”That’s because you used materials from three high-ranking monsters.”

He pointed toward the status screen.

”She inherited the physical strength of the Skeleton King, the body and wings of the Black Water Wyvern, and the blood abilities of the Vampire.”

The Blood Wyvern Knight remained quietly beside her master.

Amelia looked at her with curiosity.

”Have you decided on her name?”

Her mother looked at the undead.

”Not yet.”

Amelia thought for a moment.

”Then we should give her one.”

Ryan smiled.

”That’s up to Mom. She’s the one who created her.”

His mother looked at the Blood Wyvern Knight for a few seconds.

The undead knight quietly waited for her decision.

”I’ll think about it later.”

She closed the status screen.

”For now, I’ll just call her my Blood Knight.”

The Blood Wyvern Knight nodded.

”As you wish, Master.”

Ryan looked at the undead one more time.

”With some leveling up, she should become even stronger.”

Ryan looked at his mother.

”So, Mom, when you return to the Tower, you should let her hunt monsters while you work in your infirmary.”

His mother nodded.

”That sounds like a good idea.”

”By the way, take this, Mom. Dad, you too.”

Ryan took out two Greater Undead Soul Crystals and handed one to each of them.

”What is this?” they both asked as they examined the crystals.

The Blood Wyvern Knight also looked at the crystal, her eyes fixed on it with interest.

”Check it yourself.”

Ryan smiled.

His parents used their Appraisal skills, and a description appeared before them.

[Greater Undead Soul Crystal]

[Description: A powerful evolution material that can evolve any undead creature below S-Rank into an S-Rank undead. It can also strengthen an existing S-Rank undead and increase its potential.]

His parents looked at the description in surprise.

”This means that if you create another undead in the future, you can use this to raise it to S-Rank, even if the undead you create turns out to be weak.”

Ryan nodded.

”Exactly.”

He then looked at his father.

”And Dad, I’m not completely sure, but it might also work on your Scarecrows. You’ll have to test it yourself.”

Both of his parents nodded and stored the crystals in their inventories.

Honestly, they were becoming used to the number of valuable treasures Ryan kept giving them.

Amelia, however, was still curious.

”Mom, what did he give you?”

Her mother looked at her.

”Some kind of crystal that can evolve undead creatures to S-Rank.”

Amelia’s eyes widened.

”You seriously looted a dragon’s treasure vault or something, didn’t you?”

Ryan simply shrugged.

”Maybe.”

Amelia narrowed her eyes at him.

”You’re definitely hiding something.”

Ryan ignored her and looked at his parents.

”Anyway, Mom, Dad, I’ll be heading to the Ascension Tower tonight.”

His parents nodded.

”Honestly, I should be worried,” his father said. ”But after seeing everything you’ve brought home, I’m pretty sure you have more than enough strength to reach the second floor. After that, you’ll probably reach the fifth floor soon enough.”

He smiled.

”Then we can finally spend more time together inside the Tower.”

Ryan nodded.

”Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to reach that level as soon as possible.”

His parents nodded.

Ryan then glanced at the time.

”I should get ready.”

Ryan returned to his room and began preparing for his next trip.

He checked his inventory one more time to make sure he had everything he needed.

After confirming everything was ready, he opened his Ascension Tower access.

A familiar system notification appeared before him.

[Ascension Tower Access confirmed.]

[Destination: First Floor.]

[Would you like to enter?]

Ryan selected Yes.

A golden magic circle appeared on the floor.

Space around him began to distort as the magic circle expanded.

Ryan stepped into the center.

A bright light surrounded his body.

The next moment, his room disappeared.

Ryan found himself standing inside the familiar teleportation hall of the Ascension Tower.

He looked around the large teleportation hall.

”My first time here.”

Awakened from different cities were moving through the hall. Some were preparing to enter dungeons, while others were selling materials or checking the various shops around the area.

Ryan walked toward the exit.

Once he passed through the large gate, he arrived in the main village of the first floor.

”Oh, Ryan, you’re here too? Did you finally decide to enter the Tower?”

Just as Ryan was looking around, someone called out to him.

He turned around and saw a few of his classmates.

Max, Lily, and Rachel.

”Oh, come on. What can he even do here with his F-Rank Knight Class?” Lily asked, giving Ryan a mocking look. ”You should just go and level up in low level dungeon or something outside of Tower.”

Rachel sighed at Lily’s first joke.

Max looked at Ryan apologetically, but Ryan easily saw through their fake concern.

Wow. She’s still the same bully. Just like I remember from the original Ryan’s memories.

Ryan wasn’t offended in the slightest.

To him, they were nothing more than children throwing a tantrum.

He simply ignored them and continued walking toward the Ascension Stairway.

”Hey! Where are you going? We were still talking to you!”

”Look at this bastard.”

”Leave him. He’s nothing but a useless Knight.”

Ryan continued walking without looking back.

The three eventually stopped following him.

Ryan reached the Ascension Stairway and looked toward the massive staircase leading upward.

The first floor had a level cap of 100.

After reaching Level 100 and meeting the required conditions, an Awakened could advance to the second floor.

After reaching the second floor, the level cap would increase to 200.

The same pattern continued as Awakened climbed higher through the Tower.

Now that Ryan had reached Level 100, he could finally start climbing the Tower. That was the main reasons he had come here.

Ryan looked around.

At the top of the stairs was a large hall that led toward the entrance of the next floor. Many Awakened were gathered there, standing in groups and discussing their plans.

Normally, the only way to reach the next floor was to complete the Floor Guardian Challenge.
