SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: S-Rank Problems.

Kael retrieved the reward box he had received for his exceptional performance on the Boss Floor and immediately stored it inside his inventory without even sparing it a second glance.

Whatever was inside could wait. He had spent enough time in the Tower for one day, and right now, there was only one thing he wanted.

Home.

Kael closed his eyes and willed himself to leave the Tower. The familiar sensation immediately enveloped his body. The pink walls of the Start Room blurred before his eyes, his surroundings dissolving into a distorted haze before everything suddenly snapped back into focus.

He was home.

Kael barely had time to register the familiar walls of his room before a sound reached his ears.

Rain.

Heavy rain hammered against the window, countless droplets striking the glass in a steady downpour. The sound filled the room with a constant, muffled rhythm, while beyond the window, the outside world had practically disappeared beneath a curtain of water. The sky was dark and gloomy despite it still being relatively early, thick clouds hanging overhead as though night had decided to arrive ahead of schedule.

Kael turned his head toward the window and simply stood there.

After everything that had happened inside the Tower, the ordinary sound of rainfall felt strangely peaceful.

Kael remained still for a while, listening to the water beat against the glass. His shoulders gradually relaxed as he allowed himself to bask in the quiet atmosphere. It was almost strange how something so mundane could feel so comforting after spending so much time surrounded by danger.

Eventually, however, Kael snapped himself out of it.

He had more important things to deal with.

First, he needed to clean himself up.

Kael reached for the damaged combat suit and began stripping it from his body, revealing the countless injuries scattered across his skin.

By now, most of the wounds had already healed thanks to the healing potion and his naturally strong regenerative ability, leaving behind little more than faint traces of the damage he had suffered. Unfortunately, neither had done anything about the dried blood covering nearly every part of his body.

He glanced toward the mirror.

For several seconds, Kael simply stared at his reflection.

"What a sight."

Kael sighed as he looked himself over.

If anyone suddenly walked into the room and saw him standing there like this, they would probably assume they had just stumbled upon some psychopath who had spent the entire day murdering people.

With another sigh, Kael turned away from the mirror and headed toward the bathroom.

The shower was exactly what he needed.

He took his sweet time cleaning himself, allowing the hot water to wash away the layers of dried blood that had accumulated across his body. The reddish water slowly disappeared down the drain as Kael scrubbed himself clean, taking considerably longer than he normally would.

Once he was finally satisfied, Kael dried himself and left the bathroom before changing into a set of ordinary house clothes. Afterward, he sat down on his bed and reached for his phone.

The moment he unlocked it, his expression changed.

Notifications flooded the screen.

Message after message had accumulated while he was inside the Tower, enough that Kael’s brows immediately furrowed. He scrolled through them for a few seconds before gradually realizing what had happened.

"Well, this is quite troublesome."

Kael had almost forgotten just how much attention an S-Rank Hunter could attract.

A large portion of the notifications came from various individuals, businessmen, and organizations attempting to establish some kind of connection with him. Some wanted to invite him to private gatherings, others wanted to discuss potential partnerships, while a few were simply trying to get acquainted with him.

How they had even gotten his contact information was something Kael didn’t know.

He wasn’t particularly interested in finding out either.

There were also several messages from banks informing him about changes to his accounts, including various upgrades and offers. With billions of credits now sitting in his accounts, it seemed the banks had suddenly decided that Kael was someone worth treating very carefully.

Kael couldn’t help but massage his forehead as he scrolled through everything.

He was beginning to understand those ridiculously wealthy characters in movies and television shows who always seemed to have personal assistants following them around.

Being rich really did come with its own set of headaches.

Kael ignored most of the notifications and continued scrolling until he finally found something that actually mattered.

A message from Lyra.

> Hey, I knocked on your door earlier, but it seems you already went to the Tower. Anyways, I’ll be going shopping with Ezra and might return pretty late. Oh, by the way, you received a delivery. It’s some documents inside an envelope. It looks important and official, so I kept it in the living room.

> By the way, try not to invite your little girlfriend over while I’m gone. Wink wink.
