Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class - Chapter 644: Vorkaisan Star System, Castles

Chapter 644: Vorkaisan Star System, Castles

In the middle plane existed thousands upon thousands of star systems, each one containing five to fifty planets.

The bigger the star system, the higher its event frequency, the better event rewards, and naturally, more competitive for the territories.

In the Vorkaisan Star System, consisting of fifty planets, a giant airship arrived, which looked smaller than an ant compared to the celestial bodies in the area.

“That planet is the biggest. Seems there’s plenty of space there.” Natalia said.

“Yeah, that one looks good.” Clovelle nodded.

“Well then, let’s land there.”

In the next moment, the ship glowed briefly, and two cuts appeared, one before the ship and the other at a vast, empty grassy highland on the big planet.

When both cuts vanished, the ship had arrived at the highland, floating silently.

“Let’s start building our kingdom,” Lily said with a grin. “Let’s build nine different exotic castles individually in a circular formation. Not massively big, but not small either. We will keep a 500-meter radius empty circle in the middle, and the palaces will be positioned in nine directions surrounding it.”

“And yeah, we can ask for each other’s powers. I’d need exotic flames, exotic ice, exotic wood, and so on from you all.” Lily added.

“That sounds good.” Almond chuckled. “Let’s see who builds the most amazing castle.”

“In that case, we should put a time limit on this.” Ainen rubbed his chin. “How about ten hours?”

“Sounds good.” Kayla nodded.

“Well then, let’s get started.” Almond snapped his finger, and his Spirit Lords appeared.

“What? That’s cheating.” Natalia clicked her tongue. “You and Lily won’t even need our help since you both basically have all kinds of elemental powers in your Grimblade, Dreadlings, and Fabricated Spirits.”

“It’s not cheating if you can also use it, Nat.” Saffa snickered. “Let’s use their power and build better than them.”

“That sounds good.” Natalia snickered.

“We can also use our new subordinates.” Clovelle looked at the gang of ten folks quietly standing there, watching.

“Now is the perfect time, then. Let’s make our picks.” Ainen smiled.

“There are nine of us, but they are ten.” Natalia grinned. “Let’s do the dice roll for the last one.”

The ten candidates stood in composed silence.

No arrogance.

No wasted motion.

They had clawed their way up from nothing after losing everything and being reduced to slaves, and it showed in the way they stood, waiting without impatience.

Ainen stepped forward first, gaze sharp.

“Tharion.”

Tharion Fluxbane stepped forward and placed a hand over his chest. “I will serve to the best of my ability.”

Ainen nodded. “We’ll need control.”

Lily moved next.

“Seris.”

Seris Vanthell stepped forward and bowed her head slightly. “I will not fall short.”

Lily smiled faintly.

Almond followed.

“Vael.”

Vael Drakhar stepped forward, posture straight. “I am at your command.”

Almond gave a quiet nod.

Kayla stepped forward after.

“Lyxara.”

Lyxara Bloomreign moved forward calmly. “I will assist wherever needed.”

Saffa spoke next.

“Elaris.”

Elaris Thornshade inclined her head. “I will support your formations.”

Clovelle’s gaze shifted once.

“Maevra.”

Maevra Duskwaltz stepped forward. “I will move as required.”

Fraisea pointed.

“Zevran.”

Zevran Hollowflare stepped forward respectfully. “I will follow your lead.”

Gopu cracked his neck slightly.

“Vokren.”

Vokren Ironpulse stepped forward. “I will handle what needs to be broken.”

That left three.

Nyrelis.

Kaedor.

And—

Natalia grinned.

“Well, well.”

She snapped her fingers.

A shimmering construct appeared mid-air, forming a spinning die. It rotated rapidly, light flickering across its surface as probability itself seemed to bend around it.

“Let’s leave it to luck.”

The die spun.

Slowed.

Hovered.

Then it split into two.

Both fragments tilted.

Toward Natalia.

Ainen blinked once.

Lily raised a brow.

Almond chuckled under his breath.

Natalia laughed.

“Of course it did.”

She stepped forward, pointing casually.

“Nyrelis. Kaedor.”

Both stepped forward immediately, bowing their heads in acknowledgment.

“We will serve,” Nyrelis said.

Kaedor followed, voice steady. “We will not disappoint.”

Natalia rolled her shoulders, satisfied. “Good. Let’s make something ridiculous.”

Ainen exhaled slowly. “That’s not even surprising.”

“Luck,” Natalia said, tapping her temple, “is a skill.”

Almond smirked. “Convenient skill.”

“Alright, time starts now. Ten hours.” Lily announced.

…

The ten hours ended.

The highland no longer resembled open land. It had been carved, shaped, and claimed with intent. At the center lay a perfect 500-meter circle of untouched grass, smooth and undisturbed, like a sacred boundary none of them had crossed.

Around it, nine castles stood.

Each one complete.

Each one unmistakably different.

Almond’s Castle.

A grand, tiered citadel built from pale ivory stone and deep gold inlays, rising in layered terraces rather than a single vertical climb. Wide stairways wrapped around its structure, leading up through massive archways supported by thick, carved pillars.

Each level featured open courtyards lined with symmetrical columns, and the uppermost tier held a central palace crowned with a broad dome etched in intricate geometric patterns.

The outer walls were thick and cleanly cut, reinforced with evenly spaced bastions that gave the entire structure a sense of balance and authority.

It looked like the seat of a ruler who valued control and structure above all else.

Lily’s Castle.

A sleek, obsidian-black palace with curved architecture that flowed smoothly from base to peak. Instead of sharp corners, every edge bent gracefully, creating a continuous silhouette that felt almost liquid in form.

Tall, narrow towers rose like elongated petals, each one slightly curved inward. The main structure opened into a vast central hall framed by high, arching entrances without doors.

The surface was polished to a deep sheen, reflecting faint light in soft gradients rather than sharp highlights.

It felt refined.

Elegant.

And quietly dominant.

Ainen’s Castle.

A fortress built from layered volcanic stone, dark and textured, with glowing veins of molten orange running through its structure like embedded cracks.

The castle rose in uneven tiers, each section slightly offset from the one below, creating a rugged but intentional design. Thick, sloped walls gave it a grounded, defensive feel, while wide platforms jutted outward like natural extensions of the terrain.

At its peak stood a jagged crown-like formation of stone spires, each one angled differently, giving the structure a raw, untamed presence.

It looked like it had been forged rather than built.

Natalia’s Castle.

A massive, multi-winged palace combining refined architecture with layered complexity.

The base was wide and expansive, with multiple interconnected sections branching outward from a central core. Each wing had its own design, some with tall rectangular towers, others with lower, broader halls.

Balconies lined the upper levels in repeating patterns, while reinforced parapets added depth to the outer walls.

The central tower rose higher than the rest, capped with a sharp, crown-like structure that gave the entire castle a commanding silhouette.

It felt strategic.

Structured.

And built to oversee everything around it.

Kayla’s Castle.

A sprawling greenstone estate blended seamlessly with nature.

Instead of rising sharply, it expanded outward in layered terraces, each one covered in soft moss-like textures and embedded with natural stone patterns. Rounded domes replaced sharp rooftops, and wide archways opened into interconnected halls.

Tall, thick pillars supported elevated walkways that curved gently rather than forming straight lines. The entire structure felt grounded, as if it had always been part of the land.

It was calm.

Welcoming.

And deeply rooted.

Saffa’s Castle

A precisely constructed palace built from smooth white stone with deep blue accents, designed with perfect symmetry.

Every section mirrored another.

Twin towers flanked the main entrance, leading into a central corridor that extended straight through the structure. The castle was composed of repeating geometric forms, squares, rectangles, and octagonal halls arranged in exact alignment.

Flat rooftops connected different sections, creating a layered but orderly silhouette.

Nothing was out of place.

Everything fit perfectly.

Clovelle’s Castle.

A tall, narrow fortress of silver-gray metal with a clean, vertical emphasis.

The structure rose sharply upward with minimal horizontal spread. Its walls were smooth, unadorned, and uninterrupted, broken only by thin vertical slits that served as windows.

The main tower dominated the design, rising higher than everything else, its top flattened into a simple, wide platform.

No decoration.

No excess.

Just pure, uncompromising structure.

Fraisea’s Castle.

A multi-tiered palace composed of interlocking stone sections arranged in asymmetrical layers.

Each part of the castle seemed to have been added at a different time, yet everything connected seamlessly. Some sections were tall and narrow, others wide and low, creating a complex silhouette that changed depending on the angle.

Bridges linked different parts of the structure, crossing over open gaps and connecting elevated platforms.

It felt intricate.

Unexpected.

And full of hidden pathways.

Gopu’s Castle.

A massive fortress built from dense, dark stone blocks, each one large enough to form entire sections of wall on its own.

The design was simple but overwhelming in scale. Thick walls rose high and wide, reinforced by square towers placed at each corner and along the perimeter.

The central structure was broad and heavy, with a flat top and minimal openings.

Everything about it emphasized strength.

Weight.

And permanence.

At the center.

Silence.

The untouched circle remained exactly as it was.

Nine castles.

Nine completely different designs.

No overlap.

No repetition.

Each one stands as a clear expression of its builder.

The wind passed through the formation.

The highland was no longer just land.

It was claimed that the kingdoms on this planet had already discovered them.

A new player had arrived.
