Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class-Chapter 603: Game On

Morning in Vorara City arrived softly and two suns suspended in the sky as noon also arrived in silence.

Golden light filtered through the translucent skylights of the courtyard estate Almond and gang had purchased. The residence was spacious, built in the style of an open rectangular courtyard surrounded by two floors of carved balconies and rooms with sliding crystal doors.

The center of the courtyard contained a small artificial ecosystem.

A shallow pond of clear silver water.

Floating lotus-shaped mana lamps.

And a miniature tree whose leaves shimmered with faint blue runes that drifted lazily through the air like snow.

Everyone had woken up in different corners of the house.

Natalia had claimed a second-floor balcony room and was stretching lazily.

Kayla had woken up early and was quietly meditating near the lotus pond.

Clovelle and Fraisea were discussing something while leaning over the railing above.

Saffa had somehow fallen asleep on a couch in the common hall with Gopu curled up beside her like a smug dragon-shaped pillow.

Meanwhile...

The smell of cooking had already spread everywhere.

Ainen stood in the courtyard kitchen with the focused intensity of a man performing sacred rituals.

Dozens of ingredients floated around him.

Sizzling pans.

A spiral grill fueled by condensed mana flame.

Bowls of spices that glowed faintly with magical energy.

By the time everyone gathered around the courtyard table, the food looked ridiculous.

Astral-beast meat roasted with crimson glaze.

Golden egg crepes filled with fragrant herbs.

Bowls of steaming moon-grain porridge with honey and roasted nuts.

Even a tray of small glowing dumplings that gently released sweet steam.

Natalia stared at the table.

"...You cook like this every day?"

Saffa proudly nodded.

"This is a normal breakfast."

Natalia immediately grabbed a plate.

"I approve of this alliance."

...

After everyone finished eating to their heart’s content, Almond stood up and stretched.

The morning sun reflected across the courtyard water.

"Alright."

The tone of the atmosphere shifted slightly.

"It’s time to turn the game on again."

Everyone looked toward him.

Almond continued calmly.

"Since we are nine people now, the best option is to enter ten-player games."

Ainen nodded.

"Which means multiplayer game modes."

"Exactly," Almond smied. "Let’s win three A-rank games first and get an S-rank game pass, getting necessory resources to reach Tier-6, and then head towards layer 3."

Natalia leaned back in her chair.

"Oof."

Saffa chuckled.

"The nine of us together is crazy."

She glanced around the courtyard.

"I pray for our enemies."

Gopu roared loudly in agreement.

Lily clapped her hands once.

"Alright then."

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Let’s search for something fun, dynamic, and most importantly—"

"Action filled," Natalia finished with a grin.

The system interface appeared before them.

Dozens of A-rank game types scrolled past.

Some were survival.

Some were puzzle-based.

Others were tactical competitions.

Then Kayla stopped scrolling.

"...Wait."

She pointed.

A game mode hovered on the screen.

A-Rank Game: TITANFALL CARNAGE

A short description appeared.

Players: 10

Objective: Destroy or control five Titan Hearts scattered across a floating battlefield.

Twist: Each Titan Heart will awaken a colossal ancient Titan guardian when approached.

Victory Condition: Control or destroy the majority of Titan Hearts.

Natalia grinned.

"Now THAT sounds fun."

Almond nodded.

"Dynamic battlefield."

Ainen stretched his fingers.

"And plenty of things to cook with fire."

Lily selected the game.

"Let’s do it."

...

The world shifted.

Light swallowed them.

When the vision cleared, they stood on a vast battlefield.

Floating mountains drifted in the sky like broken continents.

Massive stone bridges connected the landmasses.

Storm clouds churned below the battlefield like a dark ocean.

In the distance, five massive pillars of light marked the Titan Hearts.

But before anyone could move—

The ground trembled.

The enemy team appeared across the field.

Ten players.

A mixed group of beastfolk, armored warriors, and alien constructs.

One of them laughed.

"Well well."

Natalia cracked her neck.

The battle began instantly and the battlefield erupted into motion.

Kayla slammed her hand into the ground.

Roots exploded outward across the terrain, spreading through the floating island like a living network.

Clovelle and Fraisea moved together, launching synchronized attacks of crystalline magic and radiant beams that cleared the enemy front line.

Above them—

Natalia lifted her baton.

Hundreds of instruments manifested around her instantly.

Violins screamed.

Drums thundered.

Golden sound waves blasted across the battlefield like tidal shockwaves.

The first Titan Heart awakened.

The mountain itself moved.

Stone cracked.

A colossal Titan rose from the ground, a creature of jagged rock and molten veins.

It roared.

Ainen simply smiled.

"Perfect."

He snapped his fingers.

A spiral of fire erupted from his hands and wrapped around the Titan like a living serpent. The flames didn’t simply burn—it consumed the Titan’s energy and converted it into raw Pulse that fed back into Ainen’s reserves.

Meanwhile—

Almond moved forward calmly.

His Grimblade appeared beside him.

A single slash.

The sky fractured.

Voidfracture lines expanded across the battlefield like spiderweb cracks, slicing through enemy attacks and forcing the opposing team into defensive formation.

Lily’s Dreadlings swarmed the battlefield next.

Dozens of exotic creatures burst from the ground, air, and shadows.

Winged beasts.

Serpentine horrors.

Shadowy hunters that drained energy from enemies.

Within minutes the battlefield became chaos.

Two Titans had awakened.

Three teams were fighting simultaneously.

The enemy team tried to rush the central Titan Heart.

Natalia laughed.

"Not happening."

Her orchestra formation expanded to maximum scale.

A massive harmonic array formed across the sky.

The sound was deafening.

The Titan Heart exploded into shards of light as Natalia’s resonance shattered its core.

FIRST OBJECTIVE CLAIMED

Saffa wiped out two enemy players with a storm of chaotic energy constructs.

Clovelle and Fraisea secured another Titan Heart together.

Kayla’s root network wrapped around a Titan’s legs and dragged the giant down long enough for Almond to cut it apart with a single devastating Grimblade strike.

The battlefield shook.

The final Titan Heart activated.

A colossal dragon-shaped Titan emerged from the clouds.

It roared—

—and immediately got hit by everything.

Sound waves.

Decay vines.

Grimblade fractures.

Dreadling swarms.

Flame spirals.

Within seconds the Titan collapsed in a spectacular explosion of energy.

The enemy team had no chance.

One by one they fell.

The final enemy surrendered just as Almond’s Grimblade hovered above his head.

The system voice echoed.

VICTORY

A-RANK GAME CLEARED

Natalia stretched lazily mid-air.

"Well."

"That was fun."

Saffa laughed.

"I almost feel bad for them." Ainen grinned.

Almond looked at the notification screen.

"One down."

"Two remains."
