SSS Class Awakening: Start With A God-Level Choice System-Chapter 53: Ainsworth’s Theory Regarding The Secret Behind His Transmigration

After Ainsworth made that discovery, he mourned the inhabitants of the Zombie Apocalypse World for just a second.

He didn’t know the personality and mindset of a World Will, but he had a good feeling that his guess was correct or at least close to the truth. After all, the World Will was above all creatures, and it could exist without them.

Even if humans in this world were replaced by zombies, it would merely be the difference between the dominant species being replaced by a much more dominant one.

’Although the only possibility where my conspiracy theory is incorrect is if the zombie virus, strange mutation of the sun and moon, and many more are not the product of this World Will but caused by something unknown.’

’And if that’s the case, my theory would be incorrect if such a change is harmful for the World Will such as the zombie virus and the strange mutation from the sun and moon eroding the World Will. Such a situation would make it impossible for the World Will to burn its bridges for humanity, and instead, it would rather make a last-ditch effort with the human race.’

’Either way, it wouldn’t benefit me which one it would be as it’s still my ultimate goal to plunder as much world origin as I can in this world. The average awakener would become an F-rank Awakener in their first otherworld mission, but I want my team and I to have a better starting line.’

Recalling his memories, Ainsworth pondered, ’My sister had become a 3-Star E-rank Awakener after completing her first otherworld mission. She was only a star away from becoming a D-rank Awakener, but her achievement was considered worthy of a genius.’

’Most geniuses like her could only achieve 3-Star E-rank Awakener status in their first Otherworld Mission, and it was even when my sister chose Hell Difficulty and completed a few side missions and one hidden mission.’

’Awakener ranks are a status given by the World Will to awakeners based on their accomplishments in the Otherworld as well as power. It’s a combination of both, and the higher the Awakener rank, the more privilege the World Will would grant.’

’One of the privileges included knowing the world background info of the Otherworld, where the next Otherworld Mission would be held beforehand. It would be really useful since Rian, Dante, and I came to the Apocalypse Zombie World without any knowledge about this world, so we couldn’t prepare thoroughly.’

’My sister Kyla is a 3-Star S-rank Awakener, so she had told me all the privileges given to awakeners at S-rank and below. That’s why, becoming a D-rank Awakener in my first Otherworld Mission would be a game-changer as it would allow me to complete future Otherworld Missions more smoothly.’

’It was even rumored that SSS-rank Awakeners had the privilege of being able to bail out on their Otherworld Mission whenever they wanted to without even using the SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card.’

’I’m not certain if that’s the case, but if it was, then that would explain why some SSS-rank Awakeners would give their affiliated forces the SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card rather than keeping it for themselves.’

’SSS-rank Awakeners were said to be powerful enough to destroy a moon or even a planet. Of course, such occurrences would only happen if an SSS-rank Awakener descended on a low-tier world. After all, it would be pointless if SSS-rank Awakeners were placed in a low-tier world like this one and could easily wipe it out in an instant.’

’One of the privileges of an SSS-rank Awakener that was publicized was the ability to descend to a low-tier world way below their power level just to either assist the Earth’s Will in conquering weaker worlds or save their descendants or allies.’

’So even if Elyndra was in danger and couldn’t leave the Otherworld even with the SSS-rank Abandon Mission Card, her Valtoria Empire’s SSS-rank Awakener could brute force their way into that low-tier world by shattering its world barrier.’

Ainsworth knew all about that due to reading a lot of books in the Edenbridge High School’s library. Unlike most school libraries, the books in Edenbridge High were regularly updated and segregated into old and new ones.

There even the option to read it in E-book format instead rather than having to flip and read a physical book. One of the perks of studying in a prestigious school like Edenbridge High was their access to vast database of information and knowledge so Ainsworth didn’t waste such opportunity.

Or at least, the parallel self Ainsworth did, and the current Ainsworth benefited from it.

Recalling his transmigration into this world, which wasn’t even triggered due to a death in his past life, Ainsworth contemplated, ’Speaking of which, my transmigration into a parallel Earth is really weird.’

’Putting aside the lack of death as a trigger condition, I even transmigrated into my parallel self in a parallel Earth rather than another person’s body in a foreign world.’

’Although such a situation would be the best, as I don’t want to transmigrate into another person’s body, as it could even be a girl’s, it does make everything more confusing. After all, I have read many novels and in such plots, it’s likely that the protagonist’s past life was merely a simulation.’

’If I assume that theory is correct, then even if I know and believe that my past life was the real one and this current life is my second, it could technically be my first life and the past life was just a simulated life.’

’I only believed the past life I experienced was my past life due to how real it is. I remembered how I was raised by my parents, spent time with my siblings, the grind I had to earn Elyndra’s love, etc. But for all I know, those could just be an illusion created by an unknown power or existence.’

’One proof to back up that theory is how I transmigrated into this world when the Awakener Era had already started a few decades ago. If I transmigrated at the time when it was at the start of the Awakener Era, then I can safely assume that no one had supernatural powers or artifacts that could cause my transmigration experience.’

’But since I only arrived here when a lot of people had already became Awakeners and a few even reached a power to the point they could destroy a planet in a low-tier world, it’s not out of the ordinary to have a powerful artifact that could let the target have a simulated life where everything went well for them.’

’Even now, I can use both Hive Mind and Ultimate Freedom to rewrite an evolver’s memories and let them believe they have a second life or they regressed back in time, when in reality, they did not.’

’In that same case, someone more powerful than me by several major levels could do the same and let me live in a simulated world. And then, they could let me treat and believe that the simulated world was my past life when in reality, it wasn’t.’

When Ainsworth thought of that possibility in regards to the theory he made, he pondered and came to a conclusion: ’In other words, if my theory is correct, then both the past life Ainsworth and the parallel life Ainsworth are the same person, which is me.’

’If this parallel Earth world is the real world, then someone must have used an ability or artifact that allowed me to live a simulation and treat it as my past life. However, during that process, I or anyone in this world was unaware of it, and it was done in an instant. I was fooled since my memories regarding that incident would be erased by the mastermind behind that.’

’If that theory is correct, then I didn’t replace the Ainsworth in this world, but instead, I was that Ainsworth all along, but with my memory erased, so I assumed the past life was the real life.’

’Of course, it could also be the other way around, and this world is the simulation, and my past life was the real life. For all I know, I could be lying in the Intensive Care Unit right now, suffering from a comatose state.’

’As for who the mastermind is, it could likely be the Eye Organization, assuming they are that powerful. They likely have a member whose eyes can let someone live in a simulation or an alternate life. If that’s the case, then it would make sense considering my sister had offended that organization and it had also targeted me just because they could.’

’Such a scenario is the worst one, as that would mean they are powerful enough to go unnoticed under the eyes of the thirteen SSS-rank Awakeners on Earth and even the Earth’s Will. It would then mean that I’m just a pawn they placed on Earth and they spared my life because I have some use for them.’

When thinking of such a great conspiracy theory, Ainsworth shook his head, ’Even if that’s the case, I can still fight as I have the system. Unless the system is compromised and is just a pawn created by higher existences, but even then, I’d rather try and fail than not try at all.’

’And besides, I might be wrong as it’s likely just me being overly cautious and paranoid.’
