SSS Class Awakening: Start With A God-Level Choice System-Chapter 47: Side Mission: Road To Zombie King (S)

After Ainsworth handed the backpack to Kyle, Kyle moved his head and body even lower. If not for the dirty asphalt road, he would have already knelt to Ainsworth.

"Thanks again, Arthur! If I ever survive, I’ll repay you for this favor!"

Soon after, Kyle left under the envious gaze of the members of the survivor group. Even if they knew Kyle’s fate was doomed, they still couldn’t help but feel jealous of the resources he got from Ainsworth.

They knew that Ainsworth was kind, responsible, and righteous, and although they couldn’t be like him, it was still reassuring for them to have such a leader. At least, they knew that with Ainsworth’s kind personality, they wouldn’t be left to fend off the zombies without any supplies.

However, just as Kyle left, when the members of the survivor group weren’t looking, Ainsworth secretly sent out his father zombie virus strains in Kyle’s direction.

The original zombie virus couldn’t travel through the air. But with Ainsworth infusing viral energy into it as well as controlling the zombie virus strain, it didn’t take long before it entered Kyle’s wound.

Despite already having more than enough zombie virus to turn Kyle into a zombie, Ainsworth didn’t let the zombie virus strains he sent to Kyle infect him.

It was only when it had been thirty minutes since the survivor group had walked on foot that Ainsworth had set a timer to let all the zombie virus strains burst within Kyle’s body, infecting him in an instant before his immune system could react to counter it.

The original zombie virus in Kyle’s body was assimilated by Ainsworth’s father zombie virus, so in just a matter of seconds, Kyle directly turned into a zombie.

He became an Elite Zombie, even stronger than the average Elite Evolvers, due to being filled with Ainsworth’s father zombie virus. Because of that, Kyle was different from most zombies as he had retained his sentience and sapience as a human despite not being a Special Zombie or stronger.

However, the price of that was that Kyle’s life was no longer in his hands, as he was already part of the Hive Mind.

To prevent waste, Ainsworth had commanded Kyle, who, aside from his pale skin, looked not much different from a human, to find a human survivor group, infiltrate them, and infect more humans with the father zombie virus.

He planned to let Kyle become a Special Zombie or even higher than that, as he wanted a zombie faction within his Church of Evolution.

While walking with the survivors’ group, Ainsworth secretly grinned after the first step of his plan succeeded.

’Most would assume I only gave that backpack to improve the impressions of the survivor group on me, but that’s just one of my plans with it. I haven’t told Dante and Rian since I didn’t have the chance, and they might not know my full plan yet.’

’It’s only a part of my bigger scheme, as the backpack will be used by Kyle to infiltrate the survivor group and offer it as a tribute to the survivor group. Even most survivor groups would have a good impression of him and treat him better if they were given supplies when they needed them the most due to their scarcity.’

’And when their guards on Kyle are lowered, Kyle can attack them while they are asleep and bite them at night. Or, he could also slowly infect them with the father zombie virus by releasing zombie virus strains in the air. Either way, it will end with Kyle creating his first zombie group and then using it to infect other survivor groups or even fight off and devour other stronger zombies.’

’I already created the Church of Evolution to control evolvers. The zombie faction I created can control the zombies. Furthermore, with Rian, Dante, and I infiltrating the military-established survival bases, it won’t be long before the entire world will be grasped by my dark hand, controlling everything in front of and behind the scenes!’

According to Ainsworth’s plan, doing it that way would let him complete hidden missions. He might not be able to check the status of the hidden missions and whether he completed them or not, but he could at least estimate that he had completed at least more than two of them.

After all, Ainsworth was the smartest student in Edenbridge High, and he had higher grades than both Mira and Elyndra. He also spent a lot of his time in the school library and databases, so he had access to a lot of public and private information. free𝑤ebnovel.com

There was a time he had searched the hidden missions received by other awakeners, and he noticed a similarity among them when compared to the Otherworld they were in. Most hidden missions were things that had subverted the world line of the Otherworld or had a huge impact that caused the Otherworld to lose a lot of world origin.

As long as he did something even grander than the main missions and side missions, Ainsworth was confident that he could trigger the hidden missions and complete them.

Since he has a system and also has a revenge to take, Ainsworth had long before decided that he would do things to its limit.

Most awakeners would only complete the Otherworld Mission, and they’d be satisfied if they could complete a side mission or two. However, Ainsworth wanted to overfulfill the Otherworld Mission so that he could gain more mission score.

Even if he were to treat every living being in the Otherworld as discardable pawns and the Otherworld as a chessboard, he wouldn’t hesitate to do it as long as it would serve to complete his goals.

Of course, Ainsworth was well aware of the price of a chess player being caught up and entangled by the grand scheme, being reduced into the chess piece one used to control.

He was well aware of the consequences of his actions and the price of doing it, and because of that, he would do his utmost best in order not to fail. Being indecisive would only spell not just his doom but Rian and Dante’s as well.

Just as he was about to command the survivor group to take a rest since it was getting dark, Ainsworth heard a notification sound in his mind.

-Ding!

[Eleutheron Eclipse has triggered a Side Mission!]

-Ding!

[Side Mission: Road To Zombie King (S)]

[Objective: Be infected by the zombie virus, become a zombie, and maintain the sentience and sapience you once had as a human. Afterward, climb up the ranks and evolve from Normal Zombie to a Zombie King, an evolution rank above Special Zombie. After becoming a Zombie King, establish a zombie kingdom with you as the king, controlling the lives of countless zombies.]

[Alternative Objective: Control a zombie to the point you can decide their life and death. The controlled zombie must become your property and have full obedience towards you. Afterward, instead of you being infected by the zombie virus and becoming a zombie, let them complete the objective on your behalf. As long as your control over them doesn’t weaken when they become a Zombie King and establish a zombie kingdom, the side mission will still be considered complete.]

[Rewards: Improvement of otherworld mission score (Will be graded after all the main missions are completed), S-rank Skill Book (One per member of the team, tailored to suit the member’s needs)]

[Time Limit: None]

[Note: This is a progression-based side mission. After completing this side mission, depending on your team’s progress, you may or may not trigger another side mission related to this.]

[Note 2: Your team only needs one member to complete it, and it doesn’t require all members to become a Zombie King. If a member of your team accepted this side mission and became a Zombie King, they can choose to stay in this world, but their identity and power as an Awakener will be revoked. If they don’t plan to stay, they can return to Earth, but their power as a Zombie King will be removed as the body and the zombie virus will be cleansed so that the Awakener can regain his status as a human.]

-Ding!

[Does your team want to accept the Side Mission with a difficulty of S-grade?]

[Yes] | [No]

As usual, it wasn’t just Ainsworth but also Rian and Dante who received the notification regarding the side mission.

When they finished reading its contents, Rian and Dante couldn’t help but praise Ainsworth in their hearts for being an active team leader and the Awakener’s role model.

It wasn’t rare to trigger a side mission, but that also didn’t mean it was common and easy to trigger one, especially when they just recently triggered a side mission.

It’s only been the first day since they arrived in the Zombie Apocalypse World, yet they already triggered two side missions and likely completed a hidden mission.

When Rian and Dante thought about it, they couldn’t help but comment in their minds, ’Sure enough, following Ainsworth is the best choice I ever made in my life!’
