SSS Class Awakening: Start With A God-Level Choice System
Chapter 75: Side Mission: World Domination (SSS+)

Chapter 75: Side Mission: World Domination (SSS+)

Doing actions that could be called "evil" if it was in the Earth in his past life memories, Ainsworth contemplated and realized that he seemed to not care much about it.

It could be said that aside from his unaccustomed use of it when committing "evil" and "unlawful" acts for the first time, he already kept doing it as if it were the norm.

If it was before he transmigrated to Awakener Era Earth, all actions he did in the Otherworld would have been illegal, unethical, and immoral.

However, the memories he had in Awakener Era Earth found his actions normal. It was even taught to him that it was normal for Awakeners to do such a thing in the Otherworld.

’Was I this ruthless and indifferent? As far as I remembered, in my past life, I was at least kind and filial to my parents and I treated my brother and two sisters well.’

’At that time, I was just hellbent on winning Elyndra’s heart that I did everything I could within my abilities to be worthy of her. In retrospect, I have a net worth of billions in my past life but I had ruined the lives of my competitors, rivals, and those who stood in my way.’

’The difference between Past Life Earth and Awakener Era Earth is that the former has prohibited murder and has strict laws. On the other hand, the latter might have laws, but it only applies to people on Earth, and those from the Otherworld weren’t included in those laws.’

’Because of that, I treated everyone who wasn’t my family, friend, and crush as nobodies. I was indifferent to everyone aside from those who were dear to me. It seemed that I didn’t care much about the lives of others even if I ruined it beyond recovery.’

Ainsworth realized that he might have been a psychopath. The only reason he didn’t show any signs of it in his past life was because of the strict laws on Earth.

Furthermore, it’s not that he didn’t show any sign. Rather, he ignored it as he always treated people who stood in his way as an obstacle to destroy.

Shaking his head, Ainsworth sighed, ’Sure enough, it’s either this is my true nature, or I’ve been corrupted after all that capitalism and corruption in Past Life Earth.’

’No matter what, having risen from a middle-class family to that of a billionaire had indeed changed me. It didn’t change my love for my family and Elyndra, and my relationship with my friends. However, it did make me treat everyone else aside from them as nothing but background noise.’

’The path to becoming a billionaire, in most cases, is filled with thorns especially when I’m a self-made one. Although I didn’t dabble into anything illegal, I always did everything I could within the limits of the laws, even if I exploited loopholes and caused the suffering of many.’

When Ainsworth thought about that, he tried to remember his family’s reaction to his success and the dark stuff he did behind the scenes. But when he recalled it, he sighed in relief as they still treated him the same.

’I wonder, what did Elyndra in Past Life Earth think about me after everything I did?’

’Now that I think about it, I didn’t see any signs of whether she loves me or just thinks of me as a good friend. Even I know that love that isn’t reciprocated is merely infatuation so maybe it’s just my wishful thinking.’

’But at least, it couldn’t be said that we haven’t talked to each other so my relationship with her wasn’t completely hopeless. We still had acted like close friends and still kept in touch when I had become a billionaire.’

’Looking back, I might just be delusional, but I’m not someone who’ll give up easily. Unless she rejects me or I see that she truly doesn’t like me, then I won’t give up.’

’Even if I can’t know what she had thought about me in Past Life Earth, there’s still the Awakener Era Earth’s Elyndra. It’s still uncertain which of those two Earths is the Earth I belong to, but it doesn’t change the fact that I cannot return to Past Life Earth so I should just move on from the past.’

Having that mindset, Ainsworth no longer cared about other people’s opinions of him.

In his view, good and evil were just two sides of the same coin. The same as black and white.

For him, the end justified the means. And as long as the end was what he wanted to achieve, he didn’t care about what he’d do in the process to achieve it.

After all, it was one of life’s greatest truths that it rewarded victors. As long as he was the one who achieved victory, it wasn’t his problem what happened to those losers.

’You only have one life and you have to make it worth it. Living a life for the sake of others who are irrelevant to your life is a waste.’

’I realized that those motivational quotes weren’t wrong especially now that I have a second life. I didn’t have many regrets in my past life as I lived the life I wanted.’

’Maybe the regret I only have is that I couldn’t enjoy the fruits of my victory and hence, I couldn’t achieve a happy ending. But there’s no point in lingering too much about the past, as it should only serve as a lesson for this second one.’

’At least, I should live this life the way I want, just like I always had. I have the freedom to do that and maybe it’s due to my personality that the choice system gave me the SSS-rank Freedom Freelancer class despite it being a random suitable class rather than a specified reward.’

’Well, that might also explain why I had awakened an A-rank Adventurer class before I had used the choice system to use a choice reward to change it.’

’No matter what I do, as long as I don’t regret it and it’s for the sake of a result that I want, then it doesn’t matter whether my actions implicate others. As long as those who are implicated are those people who I don’t care about, then it doesn’t matter as they are just obstacles that stood in my way.’

With that thought in mind, Ainsworth decided to go all out without limiting himself.

If it was back on Awakener Era Earth, he might not be able to run rampant as he was weak there and stronger Awakeners would put him in jail if he harmed a fellow earthling.

But in Terra, filled with terrans, the global law enforcers on Earth wouldn’t care about them.

After making up his mind, Ainsworth then commanded High Priest Kyle and other High Priests to allocate the remaining resources to Zombie King Kyle so that he could become a Zombie Emperor.

Although the resources in one Church of Evolution’s cathedral weren’t enough for Kyle’s evolution, Ainsworth estimated that the remaining resources in all cathedrals were more than enough to let two King-rank Zombie or Evolver evolve into a Zombie Emperor or Evolver Emperor.

The only side mission he hadn’t completed yet was Side Mission: Road To Zombie Emperor (SS+). It was very important considering it was the side mission that rewarded the D+ stat crystals that Rian and Dante needed.

After commanding his believers and waiting for the results, Ainsworth heard a notification sound for a different reason.

-Ding!

[Eleutheron Eclipse has triggered a Side Mission!]

-Ding!

[Side Mission: World Domination (SSS+)]

[Objective: You have already infiltrated almost all of the bases within a country and even became the highest authority within those bases. Now, be more ambitious and dominate the entire Zombie Apocalypse World. Your team needs to be the highest authority within all countries in Terra. However, it doesn’t have to be all cities within that country. As long as you have the biggest say within that country and can suppress those cities that weren’t dominated yet, then it will be considered as completing this side mission.]

[Reward: Improvement of otherworld mission score (Will be graded after all the main missions are completed), SS-rank Skill Book (One per member of the team, tailored to suit the member’s needs), S-rank item and A-rank item (One per member of the team, tailored to suit the member’s needs. Can be used regardless of Awakener Rank but only applicable to the team member who received it.), SSS-rank Skill Book (Only one and can only be given to the member of the team who contributed the most to the side mission.)]

[Time Limit: None]

[Note 1: As usual, just ask the Voice of The World if your team has any questions.]

[Note 2: This is a progression-based side mission. However, this is the last continuation of the Side Mission: Infiltration 2 (SS). There wouldn’t be any more side missions related to this objective even if this side mission is completed well.]

-Ding!

[Does your team want to accept the Side Mission with a difficulty of SSS+ Grade?]

[Yes] | [No]
