Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 34
Advertisement
Ryder heard the system's announcement and left just as silently as he came.
He laid down on his bed as he closed his eyes, but he couldn't clear his mind as he wondered what it was all about.
He didn't know why, but his heart was beating fast, and he was somehow feeling angry, but this anger didn't seem to be towards Janus or Alice.
"Hey, Janus. Can you stop giving me these senseless missions?" Ryder inquired.
Janus replied.
"What are you talking about? What listened? You talk so vaguely and don't tell me anything," Ryder complained.
Janus responded.
"Fine. Keep your vague secrets," Ryder snorted.
He closed his ears and stopped talking with Janus.
After half an hour, he finally fell asleep.
It was early morning as he woke up. He went to the washroom and took a nice shower. He got ready and left his room for breakfast.
As always, breakfast was already on the table.
"Such a hard-working girl. She already left for university." He muttered as he sat down on a chair and started eating his breakfast.
Ryder walked back to his room and laid down on his bed as he wore the Divinity glasses and logged back inside the game.
He again appeared in the novice village.
"Time to get started. As far as I remember, The Rank 1 player in the last timeline, Darkness, will reach level 5 tonight. I only have around 12 hours to reach Level 5." He muttered as he started walking towards the exit.
He left the village and walked towards the beast valley.
He already had a target in his mind.
He stepped inside the valley while ignoring the other players who were fighting on the outskirts of the valley.
He entered the depths of the valley.

As he was walking, A snow wolf jumped at him from behind.
Ryder swung his sword as he turned around. He didn't use the Enraged Slash, but just a simple attack.
The sword struck the Snow Wolf. The snow wolf was killed at once as his body fell to the ground.
[+20 experience points]
He continued on his journey, and not much later, he faced another snow, Wolf.
[+20 experience points]
He saw another notification as he killed the beast.
He was finally about to leave the outer vicinity of the beast valley when he saw a small group of snow wolves at some distance. The ground contained four snow wolves.
It didn't look like the wolves had seen him yet.
"Time to test out the spell."
He raised his hand towards the beast as he muttered a spell.
"Oh Lord of fire, creator of life
Give me the strength and burn my enemies to cinders.
Flame Blast! "
He chanted the spell.
A small ball of fire left his hand and flew towards one of the wolves.
The wolf was struck by that ball of flame and burned to ashes before it could even have a chance to roar in pain.
[+20 experience points]
"The spell seems good, but the range is quite small. It would be so amazing if it were an area of effect skill."
" It felt good to say the spell, though. The mages looked so cool when they chanted spells." He muttered to himself as he waited for the wolves to come to him.
The snow wolves noticed him with their fierce eyes and came running towards him.
Ryder raised his sword and got in an attacking position.
"Time to collect some XP."
The battle didn't last for much longer as the wolves were killed.

He didn't use his Enraged Slash as he was waiting for the real battles. He could only use them five times a day after all.

He continued ahead, and finally, after some more time, he met the beast that made him run last time... the profound bears.
There was still only one profound bear, and he was still sleeping just like yesterday.
"You bastard! You made me run for so long. You destroyed all my reputation. Do you think you are allowed to sleep so peacefully? " A smirk appeared on Ryder's face as he gripped his sword and started walking towards the bear.
It was time for revenge.
It was at that moment; a voice sounded in his ears that almost made him fall down to the ground.

Reward: Self-satisfaction
Punishment for failure: You will sleep for 24 hours

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game - A Virmo Story
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world’s deepest dungeon. He is an immortal pinnacle of existence that is otherwise known as an ancient dragon. And he is terribly bored. His sole source of amusement comes from scrying on the adventurer teams that are in the upper levels of his dungeon. Through spying on adventurers, Kragathor hears of a new magic item, called a Virmo, that allows one to project their mind into a fictional world in some sort of grand-scale game. Recognizing these Virmo games as a potential diversion for his endless boredom, he orders a minion to infiltrate the nearby town and acquire some of these games. Once the minion returns, he logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of ‘science’ and ‘technology’, and embarks on his new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class. Release Schedule: As I wrap up the end of the first major arc, I will publish the chapters as they're completed. However, as I transition into the next arc, I will go with a two or three times a week release schedule, since I will be splitting time between this story and Chimera. Discord Server

The Weaver's Burden (HIATUS)
Weavers... this lot has been synonymous with freaks at best, and devil worshipers at worst, since they were first found. Thankfully, they make up a negligible number of people, but they can still be incredibly dangerous. Oftentimes, they wind up killing themselves or others when their ability to perform magic begins to manifest, acting as a sort of natural culling process for weavers. However, this was well before the Republic of Sidia realized that the ability to manipulate reality can be reigned in, controlled. So if you had the chance to turn something dangerous into a weapon, why wouldn't you? This is what fate awaits a young man named Emmet. After his weaving manifests and blood is on his hands, he is given a choice: the gallows, or the Esphell Monastery. What awaits Emmet at the monastery? What is this magic, and how can he control it? What happens to weaver's once they are properly trained? And most importantly, will he survive long enough to have these questions answered?

How About Heresy?
Jeffrey's a guy who's most certainly a heretic but likes to believe he's not. Like we all do. Though, being a villain, there are many do gooders that'd like to exchange a strong word— or rather fisticuffs with him. Doing the deeds of villains, he places his own strange lens of justice over it, all the while, being an absolute fool. How will Jeffrey fare against the might of the good? —————————— "You tryin' ta shill me heresy?" "Ye- I mean yesn't," That's absurd why would I shill heresy? I'm not a heretic godsdamnit! In a realm of heretics and apostles alike, what to do? Well, I'm not sure of that myself. Though I have a feeling joining a cult may not be the best action... "No way. Are we being clapped by the power of friendship?" "Indeed we are," Shite. NOTE: - Don't expect an overpowered main character, nor a weak character. Strength isn't a plot point. - This is mainly a comedy, so it ain't as dark as you think it'd be despite the numerous mentions of cultists, heretics and murder... - There isn't going to be any face slapping scenes.
