Reigns was still trying to calm himself after the sudden Tier advancement when something else happened.

The massive ancient labyrinth suddenly trembled lightly.

Rumble...

His eyes immediately widened.

Two giant doors standing deep within the labyrinth slowly began to open.

A bright green light burst out from within, illuminating the dark surroundings. The air itself became heavy with life energy, and countless tiny green particles drifted around the gigantic tree above.

Reigns instinctively raised an arm to shield his eyes from the intense glow.

"What the hell now...?"

The first door slowly opened wider.

And a tiny figure emerged from within the light.

No... it wasn’t exactly walking.

A small green sprout slowly bounced out of the doorway.

Its body looked soft and delicate, with glowing green leaves covering its tiny form. Two round black eyes stared curiously at Reigns while a small flower bloomed atop its head.

The little creature exuded a warm and peaceful aura.

The moment it appeared, Reigns immediately felt the fatigue in his body fade.

Then, a notification flashed before his eyes.

*****

[Healer Sprout: Tier 1]

A support-type plant troop born from pure life energy.

Can heal injuries of the user and allied plant troops.

Restores 10% health over time.

Possesses weak combat ability but has high vitality and recovery power.

*****

Reigns blinked twice while staring at the tiny creature.

The small sprout tilted its body and gave a cheerful little shake before happily circling around him.

"Damn... it’s actually kind of cute."

But before he could process it properly, the second door opened as well.

Boom! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

A much heavier pressure spread across the labyrinth.

Reigns’ expression instantly changed.

From within the glowing doorway, a large humanoid figure slowly stepped out.

Thud...

Thud...

Each step the figure took made the stone floor vibrate slightly.

The creature stood over seven feet tall and had a muscular humanoid body formed entirely from dark wood, vines, and thick roots.

Green moss covered parts of its shoulders and arms, while glowing green veins pulsed faintly beneath its bark-like skin.

Its eyes glowed with a deep emerald glow.

Long roots hung from its back like hair, and sharp wooden claws extended from its fingers.

Unlike the peaceful aura of the Healer Sprout, this one radiated pure strength and battle instinct.

Reigns could immediately tell it was way stronger.

The creature slowly knelt before him.

Another notification appeared.

*****

[Dryad Soldier Lv 1]

A frontline combat-type plant troop born from ancient forest guardians. It possesses immense physical strength and durability. Its bark-like body provides natural defense against physical attacks. It can manipulate roots and vines during battle to restrain enemies. While fighting in forest or natural terrain, all of its abilities receive slight enhancement.

Highly loyal toward the Plant Sovereign.

*****

Reigns stared at the massive Dryad Soldier with visible shock on his face.

The creature alone looked strong enough to crush ordinary monsters barehanded.

"...This is insane."

The Healer Sprout floated beside his shoulder while the Dryad Soldier remained on his knees, silent like a guardian.

Reigns had not even fully recovered from the initial shock of his Tier advancement when another notification suddenly flashed before him.

A deep, ancient sound echoed throughout the labyrinth.

[You have unlocked the Plant Tamer Class.]

The moment those words appeared, the gigantic tree above the labyrinth released a soft emerald glow.

Reigns suddenly felt as if countless whispers were echoing inside his head.

The air around him grew strangely sacred.

New lines slowly appeared before his eyes.

*****

[Plant Tamer]

A mysterious and ancient subclass connected to the origin of life itself.

Allows the user to tame plant monsters, ancient forest creatures, and plant spirits. The user’s higher affinity with nature increases the success rate of taming. Some powerful plant beings may willingly form contracts with the user.

This class was once known as one of the renowned abilities possessed by the Goddess of Origin and Life herself. Those chosen by this class are considered protectors and rulers of natural life.

Further abilities will unlock upon higher Tier advancement.

*****

Reigns’ breathing grew heavier as he carefully reread everything.

His heart pounded loudly inside his chest.

"Goddess of Origin and Life...?"

Even saying those words felt unreal.

He slowly looked up at the gigantic tree covering the sky above him.

Then quietly turned his gaze to the two newly summoned companions standing before him.

The small Healer Sprout floated around him peacefully, while the towering Dryard Soldier stood silently like an ancient guardian.

His gaze slowly shifted toward the countless sealed chambers that were spread throughout the enormous labyrinth.

Each door carried different symbols and strange patterns carved into its surface.

A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Does that mean everything inside these doors is a different kind of plant troop waiting for me to unlock...?"

As he muttered those words, a chill ran down his spine.

There were simply too many doors.

Hundreds...

No... maybe even thousands.

Just imagining what kind of creatures could be sleeping behind them made his scalp tingle.

Then his eyes slowly moved upward, toward the gigantic tree stretching endlessly into the heavens.

The moment he properly looked at it again, his breathing slowed.

Standing beneath it made him feel unbelievably small.

The tree was far too massive.

Its roots alone looked like mountain ranges twisting throughout the labyrinth, while its branches seemed to disappear high into the endless darkness above.

Reigns couldn’t even see the top of it.

A faint pressure spread from the giant tree itself, making his legs feel slightly weak.

He subconsciously swallowed.

"What kind of monstrosity did I even awaken...?"

His voice sounded dry.

For a brief moment, excitement mixed with fear bloomed within his chest.

Everything happening around him felt too unreal.

A broken class...

A hidden labyrinth...

Plant armies...

And now this gigantic tree that looked like something straight out of a myth.

But after standing there silently for a few moments, Reigns suddenly scratched the back of his head and let out a tired sigh.

"But on second thought... I don’t think I’m the only one who has got a broken class."

"There are probably many others with crazy abilities too..."

As he spoke, the words of the spirit from the Shattered Canopy suddenly resurfaced in his mind.

That strange thing it said about Nyxara.

If not for the level restriction... she could crush everyone around her if she wanted.

Reigns slowly lowered his gaze, deep in thought.

"Just what the hell is she exactly...?"

He then shook his head.

"Nope... not thinking about that shit right now."

There were already too many confusing things happening at once.

He took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down.

Right now, getting stronger was more important.

He immediately decided to assign his free stats.

Raising his hand, he summoned the glowing status screen once again.
