Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 22

"Hahaha… A girlfriend? You must be kidding me. Have you seen me? Do you really think that I can have a girlfriend? I'm a gamer, and my games are my girlfriends. No real girls allowed." Shu started laughing loudly as he heard his question.
'I can't blame him. I myself never had a girlfriend, so I can sympathize.' Ryder gazed at Shu with sympathy.
There was only one thing that he couldn't understand. The guy didn't have a girlfriend, and there was no girl here. Which girl should he protect him from?
'Is this a trick mission? Is this Janus' scam to take away my hard-earned origin points?' He thought.
It looked like Janus heard his thoughts as it finally decided to reply to him.
"Yea, right. Sorry for doubting you. Hey, wait a minute. Why should I be sorry? You're the one who is giving such strange missions." He let out casually. He felt like he had hurt Janus' feelings.
Time kept passing slowly, and it was already 3 pm. Only one hour was remaining for the sale to officially begin.
The line that only had 50 people in the morning now had close to a thousand people waiting to get the game.
Even the cops were present at the place to maintain the order.
Another hour passed, and finally, the sale had begun. He was at the 41st number in the line now, which kept shortening as the people ahead of him kept getting Divinity VR glasses and leaving. In about 20 minutes, he was 3rd in the line.
It was at that moment that a girl came towards them. Well, It would be more appropriate to say that she came towards Shu, who was the second in line.
The girl was quite beautiful with a round face and a curvy figure. Although her breasts were small, her perky butt made up for it.

"Ah… sir, I apologize for intruding, but I am a little late. Can you please allow me to stand in front of you in the line so that I could hurriedly leave? I need to go to an important meeting." The girl told Shu in a gentle tone.
'Ah, Now I get it. This girl was the one Janus was talking about. It's quite stupid now that I think about it. However, I must say that this task is quite simple. It's like a free reward. Thanks, Janus, maybe you're not so bad after all.' Ryder let out with a smile as he looked towards the girl. He had forgotten that Janus had given him a mission that could cause his death.
"Ahh..." Shu was clearly struggling to answer. He really wanted to get the Divinity VR glasses as soon as possible, but he didn't have it in himself to deny a beautiful girl.
"Sorry, Miss, but there's no space for you here. Why don't you go stand at the back of the line and wait for your turn?" Ryder tried to sound like a badass as he said to the girl.
"You... I'm not talking to you! Stay silent and don't interfere." She said to Ryder with an attitude.
"Hey little girl, I'm trying to act like a good guy, don't think you can talk to me like that. He's a brother of mine, and of course, I can interfere in his matters! Who the hell do you think you are to come at the front of the line without making any effort!"
"All of us have been standing in the line for hours and finally got here, and you... you just came and want to take advantage of my brother. Do you really think that you are too beautiful? Get the hell out of here before I complain about your behavior to the cops." He said as his tone kept getting louder and louder, the more he talked.

Even some people behind him started supporting him and voicing their opinions.
"Does she really think that she can take advantage of us gamers because she's a girl? We want equality! Gamers have rights as well! We have feelings too! I'll start a movement for us gamers to stop such harassment against us. We deserve rights, as well." A person behind him started saying out loud.
'What the hell is he talking about? A movement to stop harassment of us gamers? Some people get too serious.' Ryder had a wry smile on his face as he heard the chant of 'we want equality.'
' Isn't it too overboard?' ' He thought.
"You! Very well!!! Do you even know who I am? You don't know who you have messed with! Don't you dare run."The girl said as she fumed with anger. She turned back as she left.
"Oh man, Was she someone with a high position? Janus, you bastard! I praised you for nothing! 5 origin points for taking care of the girl and the trouble that follows after! You're too cheap!' He cursed in his mind.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

I hope you'll enjoy the story as much as I will while writing it. Sorry for any plot holes/ plot armor/ cliche shit because it happens.

Probably whenever I finish a chapter or two and attempted to proofread them.
