SSS Talent: I Can Rewrite Reality

This was simply how the world was now.

There was no helping it.

No one knew when another portal would suddenly appear, bringing terrifying monsters into their world and destroying the peaceful lives they had built. No matter how advanced humanity’s technology became, the threat remained.

But...

It wasn’t as if there was no way to ensure that such disasters never happened again.

In fact, the solution was surprisingly simple.

Completely take control of the other side.

Jackson’s eyes sharpened slightly.

If monsters from other realms could cross through portals and invade humanity’s world, then there was no reason humans couldn’t do the same in return.

If humanity could completely conquer and control the other side of every portal, then perhaps these sudden invasions would never happen again.

The thought lingered in Jackson’s mind.

However, his expression soon became complicated.

Saying it was one thing.

Doing it was another.

The other side was filled with monsters powerful enough to turn entire sectors into slaughterhouses. Completely conquering such a world was far beyond what humanity could accomplish right now.

For the moment, it was nothing more than an impossible dream.

It was at this moment that the look in Jackson’s eyes intensified.

The thought that had once seemed like an impossible dream suddenly began to take root within his mind. It might be impossible for others.

But what about him?

Jackson slowly clenched his fists.

He would make it happen.

One day, the monsters on the other side of those portals would regret ever setting their sights on Earth.

He silently made that promise to himself.

Perhaps some people would say that he was thinking too far ahead. Humanity was still struggling just to survive each portal invasion, yet he was already thinking about completely conquering the worlds beyond them.

Jackson didn’t see it that way.

He only had one life.

If he wasn’t going to aim for the absolute best, then he might as well give up now, find some quiet corner of the world, and start farming.

There would be no compromise in this life.

Either he would achieve his goals...

Or die trying.

With those thoughts lingering in his mind, the night continued to pass quietly.

The darkness outside slowly faded, replaced by the first pale light of dawn. The sky gradually brightened, and before Jackson even realized it, morning had already arrived.

Warm rays of sunlight slipped through the window and fell across his face.

Jackson slowly opened his eyes.

Compared to the previous day, a sense of calmness had finally returned to the family of three.

Mother Rose was no longer panicking, while Aella lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed. The atmosphere in the room had also become much more peaceful, with only the faint sounds of movement from outside breaking the silence.

Jackson carefully examined the tar-like corruption wrapped around Aella’s left arm before finally letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the worst had not happened.

The corruption had stopped around her arm and showed no signs of advancing further. Although the sight remained disturbing, at least it wasn’t spreading through the rest of her body.

Just as Jackson was preparing to leave, Aella suddenly opened her eyes.

"Big brother, when will I be able to return to the dojo?"

Her small eyes were filled with anxiety, along with a faint trace of pain.

Jackson immediately understood what was troubling her.

Aella’s thoughts had already drifted toward her only friend.

Morina.

She couldn’t help but wonder whether her friend had survived the disaster.

Jackson could easily tell what was going through her mind. After all, he had heard about Morina countless times from Aella. The little girl had practically become a recurring character in their household through sheer persistence.

Although Jackson didn’t have a particularly good impression of that naughty little girl, he had carefully checked both the list of injured students and the list of deceased students yesterday.

Morina’s name had appeared on neither.

That gave him considerable confidence that she was fine.

After explaining this to Aella, the worry in the little girl’s eyes gradually faded. Her tense expression finally relaxed, and she quietly nodded.

Now that Jackson thought about it, there was another reason he wasn’t particularly worried about Morina.

That little girl came from an influential family.

Someone from her family must have arrived in time to save her.

Returning to his room, Jackson immediately opened the forums and began searching for information.

Almost every major post was discussing the portal incident from the previous day. News of what had happened had spread across the internet like wildfire, with images of the destroyed Lion and Tiger Dojo and reports of the casualties appearing everywhere.

Many people were praising Green Soul Corporation for its rapid response, crediting the corporation’s hunters with saving countless lives during the disaster.

But not everyone was satisfied.

Another group of people were questioning how long humanity intended to continue living like this.

How many more portals had to open?

How many more people had to die?

And why didn’t humanity simply declare war on the other side?

Jackson stared at those discussions for a while before frowning slightly.

To some extent, he already had a rough idea why humanity had never truly fought back against the portal invasions, despite possessing considerable strength.

Power had become too decentralized.

The major corporations possessed enormous resources and powerful hunters, but corporations ultimately existed to pursue their own interests. They lacked the authority, and perhaps more importantly, the social responsibility required to unite humanity and wage an all-out war against the unknown worlds beyond the portals.

If there had been a single central authority capable of commanding all of humanity’s forces, perhaps they would have already declared war on the other side.

There was, of course, the Hunter Association.

But for some reason, the Association had always maintained a neutral stance. It would go to extraordinary lengths to preserve peace on Earth and protect hunters, yet there had never been any indication that it intended to launch a war against the worlds beyond the portals.

Jackson eventually stopped browsing.

He opened the page of one of the largest corporations on Earth and booked an appointment.

Yesterday’s incident had been a wake-up call.

He could no longer afford to slowly accumulate money while spending his time hunting. He needed a safe place for his family as soon as possible, and he also needed to focus more heavily on increasing his own strength.

After booking the appointment, Jackson immediately left for the designated meeting location.

A massive corporate building stretched toward the heavens, its towering structure resembling a pillar supporting the sky. The polished exterior reflected the sunlight, while people constantly moved through the enormous entrance below.

Inside, several formally dressed employees were speaking with hunters in solemn voices. The expressions of the hunters ranged from nervous to helpless, while the bank employees maintained calm, professional smiles.

There was something strangely predatory about those smiles.

They reminded Jackson of hunters staring at their prey.

Compared to the era before the world changed, obtaining a loan these days was surprisingly easy.

That was right.

Today, Jackson had finally decided to take a loan.

He had come to one of the largest banks in the world.

The Last Custodian Bank.

A mega-corporation that had survived the cataclysm and not only endured but thrived afterward. With no central authority powerful enough to heavily regulate or tax their earnings, lending money to awakened hunters was hardly a burden for such an organization.

Of course, there were no free lunches in this world.

The moment Jackson failed to repay the loan on time, a twenty-year service contract would automatically come into effect.

Jackson’s eyes darkened when he reached that particularly ominous clause near the back of the contract.

Sitting opposite him, the Last Custodian Bank agent maintained a pleasant smile while Jackson carefully read through the document again and again, searching for hidden conditions or loopholes.

After checking everything several times, Jackson finally let out a quiet sigh.

He picked up the pen.

Then signed.

To be honest, the conditions weren’t particularly harsh as long as he could repay the money on time.

The contract only became terrifying if he failed to do so.

Seeing Jackson finish signing, the agent’s smile immediately became warmer. He stood up and extended his hand.

"No worries, Mr. Jackson. All one million spirit stones have been added to your account. Don’t forget to return the money one year later."

Jackson nodded.

Unlike the old days, when borrowers usually repaid loans through monthly installments, loans in the current era generally had to be returned in one large payment after a year.

The reasoning was simple.

If the bank could lend the entire amount at once, why should the borrower be allowed to slowly return it in installments?

Of course, everyone understood the real reason.

It was simply another tactic that made it difficult for ordinary hunters to repay their loans.

After completing the remaining formalities, Jackson didn’t waste any time. He immediately returned to the Golden Radiance District to purchase the house.

He quickly found the same agent they had spoken to previously, transferred the required money on the spot, and obtained the lease.

Standing outside the property, Jackson looked down at the fragile document in his hand.

His name was written clearly upon it.

For a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face.

The house was finally theirs.

Now, it was time to give Mother Rose a surprise.
