Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 15

"Little boss! You're here!" A man came towards them. Three guys followed behind him.
"Mark, Where's Aunt Esmi?" Bastian asked in a casual tone.
"Madam is waiting for the young Master in her office. I'll go inform her right now." The man replied.
"It's fine, Mark, I'll go to her myself," Bastian said as he started walking towards the second door. He pulled Ryder along with him.
"Alright." The man, named Mark nodded his head as he followed them.
' I'm surprised that he didn't ask for my identity. It looks like Bastian's identity is not that simple since he can bring me inside without any checking or inquiry.' Ryder thought, but that was when he heard Janus' voice again.
As soon as Janus said his first words, Ryder knew that it would be another mission. He had already realized that he was in trouble.
Ryder wanted to cry as soon as he heard the mission.
Mission: Tell the Owner of the Bucky's club that you have a crush on them.
Mission Reward: The host will be given the key to open the mystery box that he had received.
Punishment for Failure: The host will never get the key to open the mystery box in his storage, and thirty origin points will be deducted from the host's account.
Time limit: 6 hours>
'There's no doubt about it. Janus is trying to get me killed.' Ryder thought with a wry smile on his face as soon as he finished hearing the mission.
He wanted to cry as he thought about how brutal his death will be, but no tears came out of his eyes.
'The owner of this club must be the biggest mafia king here. Since Janus gave me this mission with a 6-hour time limit, that means he must be in this club right now. Who can the boss be? I'll try to say it like a joke; maybe he won't get offended. I really want to see what's inside the mystery box.' He thought as he walked with Bastian.

"Hey, Bastian, Who's the boss of this place?" He asked Bastian with a thoughtful look on his face. It was the best choice to get some information out of him since he seemed like a famous person here.
"Oh? The boss? You'll see the boss quite soon." There was a mysterious smile on Bastian's face as he replied to him. Ryder had no choice but to wait.
'It's a good thing that I have 6 hours,' he thought.
They finally reached the second door that was protected by the guards. As soon as the guards saw Bastian, they moved aside.
"Aunt?" Bastian said as he knocked on the door.
"Oh? Bash, you're here! You have made me wait for so long. Come on inside." A female voice came from the inside.
Ryder realized that it must be the voice of his Aunt Esmi. Since she had her own office here, she must be the manager of the club.
"Alright. " Bastian opened the door and entered inside. He was holding Ryder's hand; thus, Ryder had no choice but to enter the room with him.
There was no one inside the room other than a woman.
The woman looked like she was in her early thirties, but she seemed quite pretty. If Ryder hadn't realized that she was Bastian's Aunt, he would have considered her his sister.
The woman had beautiful blue hair that came down to her shoulders. Her fair skin and her almond-shaped blue eyes added to her charm.
She was wearing a black dress, but that dress was showing some of her cleavage. Her tight dress made her figure stick out even more.
Ryder shifted his focus from the woman, but his eyes opened wide after noticing the gun lying on the table in front of her. He was getting a feeling of danger.

"Who might this guy be?" The woman asked as she looked towards Ryder.
"He? He's my best friend from university days. We lost contact after I left the country, but luckily I was able to meet him when I was coming here. His name is Ryder Flynn," Bastian informed his Aunt with a smile.
"Oh, right, Ryder… I remember you used to tell me about him years ago. Unfortunately, I never had the time to go to your university and couldn't meet him. It's good that you found your friend again." The blue-haired woman said with a smile.
'Her smile is so beautiful. Now I understand where Bastian gets his good looks from. It must be in the genes,' Ryder thought as he saw her smile.
"Hey, Ryder. I'm Esmi Gibson. It's nice to meet you finally. I hope you can take care of this nephew of mine as you did at the university. He just came back from foreign, so he doesn't have many friends." The woman known as Esmi said as she looked towards him with a smile.
"Ah... Yes!" Ryder hurriedly nodded his head and replied to her.
"Let's go. It's time for your birthday celebration," Esmi said to Bastian as she stood up and walked towards them.
Ryder was finally able to see her ultimately. Just as he had expected, she had a devilish figure that was perfect. She had a height of around 5ft 7 inches.
Her dress was only slightly shorter than her knees and covered her thighs but still exposed a decent amount of her legs.
"I'm looking good, aren't I?" Esmi inquired with a smile as she noticed Ryder looking at her.
"Ah, yes," Ryder replied to her without thinking.
"Let's go then." She held Bastian and Ryder's hands as she left the room with them.
The music stopped as soon as she came out of her office.
"Guys! As you have all been informed that it's my nephew's birthday today! Everything is free in the club for the night! Enjoy the night to the fullest!" Esmi said loudly as she informed the people of the club.
"Yayyy!Boss is the best!" There was a loud cheer amongst the people of the club.
"Happy Birthday, young boss! "
Everyone started wishing Bastian, but Ryder, on the other hand, had begun to have a headache.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.
