Reborn with the SSS-Rank Creator System-Chapter 8: Unbreakable Resolve

Theos sat in the garden for two hours, his mind weighed down by the sheer magnitude of what had just happened. The World Announcement, the surge of power, the unprecedented shift in reality—it all pointed toward him.

"This could be really bad. What if someone found out that this phenomenon was because of me?"

His fingers dug into the dirt beneath him as anxious thoughts clouded his mind.

"Will they come for me? Will they hurt my family? My village?"

He couldn't shake the feeling that all eyes, even those he had never seen, might now be on him.

His face tensed, his usually sharp eyes filled with uncertainty. The reality of the world had never felt so cruel before. He had heard the stories his father used to tell—the dangers of the cultivation world, the sheer brutality of those who sought power. Back then, they had been nothing more than fairy tales, exciting stories that painted a grand picture of battles between monstrous cultivators. But now, those fairy tales were his reality since his parents told him about how those cultivators destroyed the village three decades ago.

"Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday, I will face the consequences."

The thought sent a shiver down his spine. If Gaia, the will of the world, had acknowledged his actions, then surely those at the peak of cultivation had taken notice of this event.

Theos closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

After a long silence, he stood up. His movements were steady, yet his eyes carried a different fire than before.

He raised his hand, gazing at his palm.

"I will become so strong that no one will even think of hurting my family."

As he closed his palm into a fist, the air crackled with latent power—a tingling shot through his bones, and shockwaves rippled outward, shaking the ground beneath him as if the earth itself wanted to yield before his resolve. A surge of energy coursed through his body, the first true display of his overwhelming strength.

His eyes glowed a fierce red, his Supreme Eyes activating in response to the unyielding resolve burning inside him.

"I don't care about becoming some hero. I will keep my family safe."

"I have already taken this step, and I can only continue forward."

His jaw tightened, and his voice carried unshakable determination.

"I will become so strong that no one—no one—can hurt my family on this entire continent."

All the stories his father had told him, all the warnings about the dangers of cultivation, now resonated differently within him. He knew now—his reincarnation, his power, his fate—none of it was simple.

But he would not run away from it.

Theos exhaled, calming the storm within.

"Okay, so I have three years."

He spoke aloud, organizing his thoughts. He had to plan—he had to.

"I will train my body and use the Origin Chaos Tome to start my path of cultivation."

"I will join a sect to learn more about this world. All information is highly regulated; I need to see beyond what I know."

"I have to ace the entrance test to gain a strong standing in the sect."

"First things first—status."

"My strength increased from the 1st stage to the 4th stage," he muttered, running a hand over his arm as if to convince himself it was real. The knowledge both exhilarated and unsettled him.

"The Gaia system said that the strength gain would depend on the cultivation tome we practiced... This means my cultivation technique is beyond strong."

His eyes flickered with curiosity, and a hint of intimidation crept in. "Is this normal? To have 4th-stage strength while only at the 1st stage of Bone Forging?"

Theos couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement coursing through him—a sensation of standing on a precipice, gazing into a future of endless potential. But a small voice in the back of his mind warned him: power never comes without cost."

But what he did know was one thing:

"I can become strong—incomparably strong."

Closing his eyes, he focused on the Origin Chaos Cultivation Tome in his mind, and instantly, knowledge began pouring into him.

Cultivation techniques did not contain words written in a simple, structured language. Instead, it conveyed its wisdom through ancient, cryptic knowledge that required a deep understanding of human anatomy and energy flow.

The cultivation tome isn't something just anyone can use... It requires deep comprehension. That means every person who practices it will have a different interpretation, and only those who can understand it best will reach the top.

His fingers tightened into a fist once more as realization struck him after absorbing and understanding the details.

"My cultivation technique is so powerful that I need to complete Bone Forging and Muscle Forging atleast twice to withstand the spiritual energy absorption according to Origin Chaos."

He let out a slow breath.

Theos then created a Training Plan:

Every morning, he would train his body for five hours to strengthen his foundation.

Afterward, he would focus on cultivation, following the precise techniques of the Origin Chaos Tome.

For combat training, he would fight against wild beasts, though his current strength far surpassed them.

Since the spiritual energy in the forest was denser, he would train there to speed up his healing and energy recovery.

He opened his eyes, his path clear.

"This is my plan for the next three years. But first... I need to talk to my parents."

With burning passion in his eyes, Theos turned and walked back into the house, finding his parents sitting in the living room.

"I want to talk to you both."

Elena and Samuel exchanged glances before motioning for him to sit.

He took a deep breath and laid out everything he had planned.

Their expressions shifted from concern to hesitation.

Samuel was the first to speak. "Theos, my boy, why train in the forest? You can train here. You know it's dangerous—"

"Papa," Theos interjected firmly, "I know. And as I said before, I will take care of myself. I will run if my life is in danger."

Samuel opened his mouth to protest, but Theos raised a hand.

"There's something else," he said. "I didn't want to tell you, but this will ease your worries. My strength is at Bone Forging 4th stage."

Silence fell over the room.

Elena's eyes widened. "What? How is that possible?"

Samuel, however, remained quiet, his expression unreadable. Then, after a long pause, he exhaled and nodded.

"I understand, Theos." His voice was soft but firm. "Elena, don't ask any more questions. I believe him. I trust him."

His eyes grew misty, his composure faltering for a moment as he grasped the enormity of his son's growth. "Go ahead, son. Your world lies beyond us."

Elena blinked back tears, her hand involuntarily covering her mouth. She might never fully understand how Theos had leapt so far in strength, but she felt an odd mixture of awe and worry. In that brief second, her gaze flicked from Theos' determined face to Samuel's stoic acceptance, realizing that their son truly stood at the threshold of a greater destiny.

Theos' chest tightened. He looked at both of them and smiled.

"Papa, Mumma... no matter where I go or what I do, I will always be your son. I will always be your miracle."

Tears welled in Elena's eyes. Samuel's lips trembled before a rare smile broke through.

And in that moment, they all embraced, holding onto the warmth of family, love, and unshakable trust.

Theos decided to spend the rest of the day with his family since, from tomorrow, he would be starting a new journey.

The Next Morning

Theos woke up early, the first rays of sunlight barely peeking through the window. He took one last look at his room, the space that had sheltered him through his childhood. Today marked the first step toward a greater future.

Before leaving, he quietly approached his parents' room. His mother and father were still asleep, their faces peaceful in the morning light. He bent down and gently placed a goodbye kiss on each of their foreheads. Elena stirred slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips, while Samuel remained still, his steady breaths a source of reassurance.

With one last glance, he turned and walked out of the house. His steps were steady, but his heart was filled with emotions. He could feel the weight of his parents' silent support, their trust in him despite their worries.

As he walked further away, his figure growing smaller in the distance, Elena woke up and rushed to the door. Samuel followed behind, standing beside her as they watched him leave.

"Our boy has grown up," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.

Samuel placed a firm hand on her shoulder. "He'll be fine. He's strong. And he knows he always has a home here."

Elena nodded, wiping away a tear. "Stay safe, Theos."

Theos ventured one kilometer deep into the forest before stopping in a small clearing. He scanned his surroundings, listening to the subtle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds.

"I need to understand my current level of strength."

He bent forward, assuming a running stance. Exhaling deeply, he launched himself forward.

The moment his foot pushed off the ground, the earth beneath him cracked, splitting five centimeters deep from the force. Trees blurred past him as he moved faster than he had ever before, his speed nearly unnatural.

Next, he tested his raw power. He found a boulder the size of a small cart and placed his hand against it. With a focused breath, he tightened his grip and squeezed. Faint cracks spread across the surface.

Satisfied, he turned his attention to agility. He crouched low and leaped into the air, his body soaring nearly seven feet before landing effortlessly on a thick tree branch.

He grinned. "So this is the power of a 4th Stage Bone Forging cultivator."

A human truly begins to transcend into something beyond mortal limits once they reach the 4th Stage of Bone Forging. At this level, they can easily Crush small rocks with their bare hands, Leap 6–7 feet effortlessly, Move at speeds faster than the eye can track, Endure heavy impacts that would shatter ordinary bones.

This was the threshold where humans transitioned from being merely strong to something beyond human limits.

Then Theos did a rigorous training session which included all kinds of exercises like pushups, horse stance etc. After which, Theos sat under the shade of a large oak tree, pulling out the neatly packed lunch his mother had prepared.

As soon as he opened it, the familiar, comforting aroma of home-cooked food filled the air. Freshly baked bread, a small portion of roasted meat, and a handful of dried fruits.

He took a bite, savoring the flavors, a warmth filling his chest. His mother always made sure he had enough food to keep his strength up.

"Thank you, Mumma," he murmured, inhaling the comforting aroma one last time. The taste reminded him of simpler days—of home, warmth, and safety. As he swallowed the final bite, a wave of longing hit him. Things would never be quite the same again.

Next was cultivation.

The Bone Forging and Muscle Forging realms were simple in concept. The key was utilizing the already present spirit energy within the body.

The process:

Move the spirit energy into the bone or muscle that needs reinforcement.

Sustain the energy within that area, tiring it out.

As the energy circulates, it breaks down and then strengthens the bone or muscle as it heals.

It followed the same principle as bodybuilding—where muscle fibers are broken down and rebuilt stronger.

Theos found a quiet clearing, sitting cross-legged on the grass. He exhaled slowly, his breath syncing with the natural energy of the world around him. Then, he closed his eyes, letting the world around him fade away, until all that remained was the rhythmic pulse of his own breath. Deep within, he focused intently on the spirit energy lump inside his body—a shimmering, formless energy that danced like liquid starlight, gathering its essence from every corner of the body.

Slowly, Theos began moving the spirit energy, channeling it into each individual cell of his bones. The spirit energy flowed like molten silver, sinking into the marrow, saturating the very core of each cell until it felt almost ready to burst. Just as the pressure peaked, Theos guided it forward, moving the energy cell by cell. The strain on his mind intensified with each shift, sweat beading on his forehead as his concentration wavered—but he pressed on.

This meticulous approach was the essence of Bone Forging—a slow, deliberate process of refining every inch of one's skeleton. Yet, what Theos was doing was far beyond ordinary. Most cultivators simply spread their spirit energy across their bones, reinforcing them in broad strokes. Theos, on the other hand, endured the painstaking grind of cell-by-cell infusion. Each moment extended like hours, his thoughts drifting as mental fatigue nipped at the edges of his focus.

But this was why Theos' power would stand above others—he refused shortcuts. While others might see slow progress as a hindrance, he saw it as a path to unshakable strength. If it meant forging a foundation no one else could rival, he would bear the cost—even if it left him trembling from exhaustion at the end of each session. These were the two options present in the origin chaos tome and theos chose the hard one.
