SSS Class Awakening: Start With A God-Level Choice System-Chapter 104: XXX+ Charm Stat!

When Ainsworth discovered that X-rank was the rank above SSS-rank, he felt that it wasn’t that difficult for him to become an X-rank Awakener, let alone an SSS-rank Awakener.

After all, his current power was already comparable to an SS-rank Awakener. Unlike most Awakeners, he had a lot of freedom so he won’t be stuck in a certain bottleneck as he’ll keep on improving.

Most Awakeners, like him previously, were unaware of the rank above SSS-rank. But now he knew and he even had an XXX+ grade stat attribute, Ainsworth had been enlightened of the path forward.

’I’m pretty sure that even if some powerful SSS-rank Awakeners had an X grade stat attribute, they definitely do not have an XXX grade stat attribute.’

With the improvement of his Charm stat attribute, Ainsworth didn’t dare to brazenly release his charm. As usual, he had used his God-Level Charm talent to only limit his charm at SSS+ grade while disabling the charm to the same sex as well as different species.

After all, Ainsworth didn’t want to wake up and see Rian and Dante lusting over him or even stray animals and magical beasts wanting to mate with him.

The "regardless of sex" and "regardless of race and species" attribute of his God-Level Charm talent was no joke!

So, Ainsworth limited his charm by making it so that only the opposite sex were affected and that it wouldn’t be to the point that they’d want to kidnap and mate with him.

’Although, it does give me confidence that I can charm Elyndra. But even then, I’m still not certain as her class is the SSS-rank Tyrannical Ruler and her Ruler’s Aura was quite powerful so her Spirit attribute shouldn’t be low.’

’And besides, I don’t want Elyndra to be with me just because I’m handsome and charming as I don’t want a relationship that’s merely built on appearance.’

’Otherwise, if I was that kind of person, I would have already started a harem long ago and become a playboy. Even, I would have already chosen the SSS-rank Lustful Incubus class over the SSS-rank Freedom Freelancer class.’

Before, Ainsworth didn’t have the luxury of thinking about courting Elyndra especially when he was inferior to her before and wasn’t worthy of her.

Even if by some miracle, Elyndra were to accept his confession, his previous self was still not enough to be able to deal with the troubles brought by Elyndra’s status as the Valtoria Empire’s Crown Princess.

Now, his power was already way ahead of his peers and those of the same generation as him. He already had the confidence to fight against SSS-rank Awakeners and so, even if his background was inferior to hers, his power was already enough to deal with the problems Elyndra had and even assist her in succeeding the throne.

Even if he knew that being with her would mean he would have to change his surname to Valtoria, Ainsworth didn’t care much. After all, he dared to pursue Elyndra, so he already knew the disadvantages he’d have to deal with.

’I don’t mind much if even after everything I did, she still rejected me. After all, she’s my first love but that didn’t mean I’ll throw away all dignity and become her loyal dog like a detestable and lowly simp.’

’However, I haven’t even confessed to her or even heard her rejection yet. So giving up without even knowing about whether she has feelings for me or not would be unwise.’

Thinking about this rationally, Ainsworth decided, ’With my current power, I can assist Elyndra greatly in the Valtoria Empire’s trial of succession. Even if she had the inherent advantage due to her status as the Crown Princess, that still doesn’t guarantee her the throne as most of her sisters didn’t withdraw from the trial.’

’With how ruthless the trial of succession is, I’m quite worried that Elyndra wouldn’t be able to deal with circumstances that she couldn’t control.’

When Ainsworth thought about it more, he decisively realized, ’This is already my second life. I can’t be a coward now that I’ve been given a second chance at life.’

’My current power is more than enough to walk unhindered on Earth. Even if there’s someone two major ranks stronger than me like those at the SSS-rank and X-rank, I still have confidence that I can escape.’

’No matter how great Elyndra’s sisters are, it’s unlikely for them to have a fiancee or husband who is at SS-rank Awakener rank. So, Elyndra had shown her goodwill to me before even when I became powerful as she had given me an SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card so it’s not like I don’t have a chance at her.’

’I had already confirmed from both Rian and Dante that they hadn’t received an SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card or any assistance from Elyndra. Dante is a Rank 7 student with a very powerful and useful SSS-rank class. He’s basically the dream bodyguard of those major factions.’

’However, Dante had indeed told me that there was a major force that had solicited him before but he refused as that major force was from Britannia Empire and it wasn’t even the Crown Prince who did. Even if the Crown Prince recruited him, the Krieg Family as a military family wouldn’t side with a foreign empire as they already served this country so Dante would have refused either way.’

Knowing that Elyndra had given him special attention, even going as far as giving him an SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card that even the current principal of Edenbridge High could hardly acquire, Ainsworth decided to at least confess to her and propose a date when he returned to Earth.

After all, it was within his plans to team up with Elyndra and Mira. By teaming up with them, Elyndra could spend time with him while the same would happen for Rian with his crush Mira.

He didn’t mind helping his bro especially when Rian was about to become an Awakener with an SSS-rank Class.

Remembering that, Ainsworth left his room and knocked on Rian’s door.

Soon after, Rian opened it, and as expected, Rian became stronger than before due to using the rewards he received from the Otherworld Mission. At least, Rian’s power was one star above his assigned Awakener rank and if he were to get an SSS-rank Class, then he could easily defeat those who didn’t possess an SSS-rank Class at the same rank.

Although Rian’s SS-rank Hero Of Light class was powerful, even top-tier compared to most SS-rank classes such as Caspian’s SS-rank Fire Knight class, it still paled in comparison to an SSS-rank class.

When Rian saw it was Ainsworth who visited him, Rian couldn’t help but ask, "Are we returning to Earth now?"

After all, they were only given preferential treatment by the Earth Will to not directly be sent to Earth after they completed their Otherworld Mission. Instead, they were given time to use the rewards they received to strengthen themselves.

Most Awakeners who had completed an Otherworld Mission with an S-grade simulation score would receive such preferential treatment. The Earth deemed that at that level of completion, the rewards would be major enough to give time for the Awakeners to use the rewards and improve their power.

Because of that, Rian couldn’t help but doubt whether it was time for them to return to Earth or not. Even if they did, he didn’t mind as he had already used up all his rewards and he didn’t have that much attachment to this Otherworld.

Even though being the High Apostle of the Church of Evolution, the one and only religion with the greatest influence in the Zombie Apocalypse World, was quite a great experience, Rian didn’t let such an illusory position affect his state of mind.

He didn’t care much about the ownership of the Zombie Apocalypse World being in Ainsworth’s hands as he was too weak to even protect or manage it. Besides, Rian still acknowledged that without Ainsworth, let alone an EX simulation score, even a MAX score would be difficult for both Dante and himself.

Noticing Rian’s doubt, Ainsworth merely took out his SSS-rank Class Rank Upgrade Crystal.

When Rian saw the SSS-rank Class Rank Upgrade Crystal, he immediately recognized it. After all, it was his dream reward as with it, he could upgrade his SS-rank Hero Of Light class to an SSS-rank class.

Even both the SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card and SSS-rank Revival Coin, which could be used to save his life paled in comparison to the SSS-rank Class Rank Upgrade Crystal, the one Rian needed the most.

For both Ainsworth and Dante, an SSS-rank Class Rank Upgrade Crystal was just a pretty gem but useless to them. But for Rian, it was a crystal that could change his destiny. The difference between having and not having it was the deciding factor on whether he could ever pursue his crush, Mira Evadne Whitmore, in this life of his.

With the tacit understanding built between their team, Rian already knew what Ainsworth’s intentions were of showing him the SSS-rank Class Rank Upgrade Crystal so he couldn’t help but sincerely express his gratitude:

"Thank you so much, bro!"
