Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 20

"I didn't think about it before, but how am I supposed to go back? There are 15 kilometers of distance between me and my house, "He muttered as he walked on an empty road.
"I better call an uber," He muttered as he took out his phone.
He placed the request for an uber on his phone and continued walking ahead as he thought about things. His life had turned so awkward all of a sudden. He couldn't help but think about it.
Just a week ago, he was one of the top members of the 3rd rank guild in Divinity, and now he had come back in time to when it all began.
'I won't join Divinity again,' He determined as he continued walking.
'It has been so long since I woke up this early. It feels surprisingly good to take a morning walk,' He thought, but right then, a car stopped right beside him.
It was a black four-seater SUV, which looked quite luxurious.
"Sir, Are you Ryder Flynn? Did you call for an Uber?" The driver asked as he lowered the car window and looked at him.
"Ah, yeah, right. I'm Ryder," Ryder replied with a smile.
"Nice. My name is Max. Come on in," He said as he unlocked the doors. Ryder opened the doors and sat on the back seat.
"Where do you want to go, Mr. Flynn?" Max asked him as he started driving.
"Oh, right, take me to 42nd Street," He told the driver as he unlocked his phone and started scrolling down the news feed.
"Sir, do you mind if I turn on the radio?" Max said out of nowhere as he glanced back for a brief moment.
'Oh well, I can't deny now, can I? It's your car, after all,' He smiled bitterly in his heart as he nodded his head.

"Sure, go ahead," He told Max.
Max turned on the radio, and unexpectedly Max started listening to the news instead of the songs.
"Today is the release date of the world's first fully immersive video game Divinity. The game will be available for purchase in all the outlets from 4 pm. Let's hear from our friend Jill Maximoff. She is standing at one of the largest stores in the country. The New Jersey branch of Games Forever," A woman's voice sounded.
"Jill, what is the situation there?"She continued.
"Well, Jane. There is heavy excitement in the crowd to get the game, and a few people have already started lining up for the sale that will begin at 4 pm, and it's just 6:30 am right now. You can judge the craze of the game from just this single fact," Another woman replied.
Ryder heard the news but decided to ignore it. He didn't want to be related to the game at all.
"Divinity is really an incredible thing. Even I'm excited to play it. I even sent my girlfriend to buy a unit for me while I'm working. What about you, sir? Are you hoping to buy it as well?" Max said out of nowhere.
" I'm not interested in that game. It's quite dangerous, in my opinion," Ryder shook his head as he replied.
" Really? You're probably paranoid, sir. The IMC has certified the game to be 100% safe, after all. You haven't even played the game," Max told Ryder in a friendly tone.
'Maybe," Ryder sighed and didn't say anything. He couldn't tell him that he was saying it because he had already died because of Divinity.
That sentence was enough for Ryder to start sweating. He could feel that the mission would be tough since he had previously offended Janus. It was the primary mission, as well, just like the mission of killing the human.

Reward: 100 origin points, Access to the next level of the store, and a secret reward.
Punishment for failure: The host will die from a heart attack.
Time Limit: Undefined>
Janus finished and went silent, leaving a stunned Ryder sitting with his mouth open.
'You're doing it to get back to me, aren't you? I'm sorry for talking back to you. Don't give me such a mission,' Ryder said to Janus in mind with an annoyed look on his face.
Janus let out in his childlike voice, but Ryder could sense some sarcasm in Janus' tone. Ryder couldn't help but doubt that Janus had some emotions.
He realized that no matter how much he begged, Janus wouldn't change the mission.
'The time limit is Undefined, but I know that I have less than four days since the first person reached level 4 on the 4th day. If he gets to level 5 before me, I will fail,' Ryder thought as he wondered about the mission.

The Legion of Nothing
Nick Klein is your average high school geek--if you can still count as average when your grandfather is a retired superhero, and you've been trained in the martial arts by his friend, a mysterious, immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit, powered armor that allows him to shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with it comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team including the team's jet and trophies from forty years of fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends, descendants of his grandfather's teammates, attempt to bring back a superhero team that was originally formed during World War 2. Along the way they'll face the normal problems of high school (bullies, homework, and dating), and the less normal problems like supervillians and mysteries leftover from their grandparents' past. As a story, it uses the conventions of all eras of comics from the 1940s on, ranging from serious to silly. If you're hoping for a grim and gritty story, this isn't it. The Legion of Nothing first debuted on my website legionofnothing.com in 2007. In that period it's updated more than 900 times, is still running, and has had millions of pageviews. The first two years have been released as an ebook, receiving good reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I hope you'll enjoy it, and that you'll review it and comment. You can also vote for it on Top Web Fiction and rate it on Web Fiction Guide. Member of The Order of Phantasmal Architects.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.

Vigilantes Make Us Safe: Rebel Rebel
When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink. They inspired generations to come and led to a golden age of vigilantes protecting the world. Times change. By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well. As part of an immigrant family in a country turning against immigrants, there’s a lot of people who don’t think he belongs. The election of Richard Hughes and the passage of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act hasn’t helped matters. Suddenly anyone who wants to discriminate can just say they’re keeping people safe and do whatever they want. Sudden popularity at school after hitting a game winning shot makes it even more apparent how much he doesn’t fit in with the rest of his world. A clash with a pair of vigilantes on his way home from school puts things in perspective. What can Ryaan do to protect his family and his neighborhood? Vigilantes Making Us Safe will follow a variety of lead characters including Serenity, Toxic, Hitbox, the Rebel and more. I'll keep the cover image and title updated to reflect the current protagonist but I encourage you to check them all out.

From Ninja to Pirate
Life can be difficult, hard and painful. Who am I kidding? Most of you probably have already experienced first-hand, all the difficulties, hardships and pains in life that I talk of, so rather than listen to me teach the lessons on how you should stay strong and look forward to the good things, I think you'd much rather prefer me to just get on with my story, and that's exactly what I'll do.My name was Uzumaki Naruto. I was a genin of the hidden village of the leaves, and the team-mate of Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. My parents were the Fourth Hokage and the Jinchuuriki of the nine-tailed fox before me, and I was what people called, a failure.But now, the story has reversed. No more failure. No more Naruto. No more ninja.I am Akagami D. Natsuki, a girl who challenges the world, in the era of pirates!All credits go to Oda Eiichiro and Kishimoto Masashi for writing One Piece and Naruto. This is a fanfiction I wrote for my own pleasure. Please don't judge it too harshly... I have checked for spelling and grammar mistakes, but just in case there is the occasional mistake, please comment on it, rather than insult me. From personal experience, I have seen people insulting my grammar, with a comment akin to:"Cant u even spell 'mom' correctly? It's 'mom' not 'mum' you idiot!!!" So, please, don't insult me like that... It really ruins my day, which might have already been awful... Also, I apologise if they get really overpowered, or sound really arrogant... I don't mean it that way, but that's how it is read, so I'm sorry before hand. Well done for making it this far, and thank you for reading. noelicoan.
