Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

In ten seconds, Almond and Lily saved as many as they could.

[ Thanks. These people will make things interesting for us in the new territory. ]

Levi pressed them to save as many as they could because these people would boost residency in the territories, which would eventually give birth to the complexities necessary to progress as a Grimverse Resident.

Almond and Lily went all out to save people and managed to get 3.3 trillion people.

They managed to get 92% of people alive.

It was because they were already so powerful that their sensing range could expand in light-years within this crumbling Grimworld.

One could still hear the soul-echoing screams of some being.

The reason John Wicked could save Almond and others in this method was because precisely because of the ultimate attack Almond and Lily made.

That attack was imbued with the utterly strong will that desired a thorough destruction of the Grimworld Tree.

So instead of just making a way out, that attack triggered Grimverse’s reaction, which supplied their strong will with its desire.

Grimworld Tree was crumbling entirely.

[ A/N: So, when I write Throne of Grimlord, it will have a bit of location and world background change since I am destroying the Grimworld Tree. ]

…

The shift was instant—no fade, no warning.

One breath, they were suspended in the shimmering wound of reality. The next, the void bubble unfolded like a flower, and the world it revealed crashed into their senses with the weight of an ocean.

Trillions of people appeared like drops of ocean when comparing the size of this forest. One moment, they were high above the forest as its vastness struck into their eyes. Next, all of them appeared directly in the forest below, their feet firmly on the ground with a faint shimmering, ultra thin fabric attached to each of them.

[ Well, master dropped us in an interesting place. This will be fun. ]

Suddenly, a voice spread into everyone’s ears. All 3.3 trillion people.

[ But I won’t babysit all of you. Listen, you clueless people. Now you are in Grimverse. I will randomly send you all to the three borders of this forest because you’ll just die if you stay here. Go into the cities and enjoy your new lives. ]

In the next moment after Levi relayed this to all people, all of them vanished.

That day, three Tier-3 cities bordering this forest, thousands of kilometers away in three directions, received a flood of people, with each one getting roughly 1.1 trillion people who could become Grim Residents.

To them, it was joyous news because this much manpower was going to boost the economy and productivity a lot.

To the enemy of those three cities— the Beastfolk City of this Murtarik Forest, this was bad news.

But they were going to have a piece of good news soon.

“So if we aren’t going to those cities, where are we going? Are we supposed to play residents?” Lily asked.

Almond, Lily, Admiral Rudra, and other Regalons who had become Grimverse Residents were walking in the forest with a mystical being leading them.

That being had a large lower-body part of eight spider-legs, each leg having divine black, purple, and golden patterns.

The upper half was of a semi-humanoid female with long, multi-colored, wavy hair, with a beautiful face and large, vertical, oval eyes bearing glowing, deep purple-gold eyes.

Levi looked back and grinned as she answered Lily. “You are going to the play grim residents in another city. A city in the heart of this forest. The enemies of those three cities.”

Everyone was taken aback.

“So there’s an ongoing conflict.”

Levi’s eyes coldly glinted and nodded. “Yes. There’s a treasure in this forest. It was acquired by Master John, but it needed five thousand years more to fully nurture, so he didn’t take it and helped some good people win the territory in this forest.”

“Five thousand years have passed by, and the news has leaked. Now, this territory is getting targeted by multiple forces.”

“And we will be stopping them, aye?” Silvester smiled. “Now that sounds like a fun start in the new Chapter of our lives.”

“I doubt we can help them in combat yet,” Arjun said.

“Yes, you can’t.” Levi laughed. “This is a Tier-6 treasure birthed after tens of thousands of years. We will be facing very strong invaders. But what you all can do is to act as Residents and fish in troubled waters. Come on, you’ll understand soon.”

“For now, look at this amazing Muro forest and breathe in its divine air. Feel the atmosphere of Grimverse. Perceive it as much as you can and then slowly use your powers. Your powers and everything will be scaled down in Grimverse because your lifeform and powers are in the foundation of a much stronger atmosphere and laws.

The Muro Forest was not simply green. It was a canvas of life painted with colors no mortal spectrum could contain.

Trees towered like cathedral spires, their trunks sheathed in living crystal that pulsed faintly, as if a heartbeat ran through the wood.

Their canopies bled rivers of soft light that dripped like molten gold, pooling in glowing streams below. Each droplet hissed with tiny storms inside, flashes of lightning visible in their depths.

Leaves shimmered between solid and translucent, revealing veins that shifted in pattern with the wind—sometimes fractal snowflakes, sometimes spiraling runes that unraveled and rewove themselves in the blink of an eye.

Where the sunlight pierced through, it fractured into prisms, and the ground drank those prisms like seeds, sprouting luminous fungi that whispered in faint, many-toned chimes when stepped upon.

The air was alive with exotivity—an unceasing exchange of impossible phenomena. In one clearing, gravity bent sideways, sending a waterfall spiraling upward into the clouds. In another, a herd of six-legged glass-bison wandered between the roots, their bodies refracting the forest’s colors so they seemed like living mirages.

“What kind of place is this forest?”

“It’s absurdly amazing.”

“What kind of light is that?”

“T-This…”

Suddenly, everyone felt a powerful pressure, but a barrier soon blocked it.

Levi’s eyes blinked.

Somewhere far off, a tree the size of a mountain split down the middle, revealing a hollow core swirling with a galaxy’s worth of miniature stars. Each spark within it blinked in and out, as if carrying the dreams of a sleeping god.

“A phenomenon just entered into the final stage of creation, and I think we are responsible for that since we sent a disruption wave in this place when we arrived here through the space-time voidshift.” Levi’s eyes flickered as a chuckle left her mouth. “This is good. We will check it out later, so I’ll hide it for now lest anyone else take it.”

Almond, Lily, Admiral Rudra, Arjun, Silvester, and Julian could observe that phenomenon because their senses, mainly soul sense, had enough range to reach there.

Naturally, they couldn’t observe at light-years distance anymore.

But the sensing range depended on Life Power and what else they had in understanding that could fuel their range.

“What is that phenomenon?” Almond asked.

“That’s a Tier-3 phenomenon. It’s still too much for you all right now, except for Almond and Lily. If you go, you’ll instantly get killed by whatever living things are inside.”

“We are at Tier-1 power level, right?” Natalia asked.

“Technically, yes. But Almond, Lily, and those who have True Concepts are strong enough to even defeat Grim Students.” Levi chuckled. “Most Grim Residents don’t acquire True Concepts, except for those experienced beings who ascend here after spending years of struggle and fighting in the lower-verse. For the majority, they start manifesting their True Concepts in the academies as Grim Students.”

As the group continued walking, Levi began telling them about the place they were going to be residents of.
