Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 113

"I won't hide it from you as I don't do unfair practices. You can decide for yourself after that," the Property Dealer told Ryder, which made him even more curious about the reason.
"The property is said to be haunted. Since the property was constructed, more than four people owned it. Two of them are dead, and the other two have gone crazy," he added.
'A haunted place? It might as well be true. I've seen too many impossible things to doubt anything now,' Ryder thought with a wry smile on his face.
"I'll take the property," Ryder told the dealer.
"Are you sure? I won't deny you the property, but I must advise you against it. Think carefully. Even though I myself don't believe in ghosts, everyone else in the city seems to believe it. That's all I'll say. It's your choice after that," the dealer once again said.
"I've thought about it carefully. I'll buy it. You can start the paperwork. Let's finish it today," Ryder replied.
"As you wish," The Property Dealer responded. They finished the paperwork, and the property was legally transferred to Ryder.
Ryder left the place and entered his car, advanced towards the building.
He stopped before a 7-floor building, which had parking of its own.
He stepped out of the car and entered the building. The building covered a large area but had no security at the moment.
The interior was completely empty, and only a few papers were lying on the dust-covered ground.
He checked all seven floors but saw nothing strange and no ghost, but he did feel as if someone was watching him.
He stood at the top of the building and looked at the beautiful town filled with people.
"Beautiful place; I'll need furniture and other stuff for it, though. So many expenses," Ryder muttered as he turned back, but as soon as he turned back, he saw a spirit standing before him.

The spirit was semi-transparent, and he was able to see across him. It seemed to be the spirit of a young boy that seemed to be only 18-19 year old.
"Hey?" Ryder said to the spirit, but the spirit didn't reply and pushed Ryder to make him fall off the roof, but as soon as the spirit's hands touched Ryder, it started roaring in pain as it stepped back.
"Sorry, man, I don't want to harm you, but I had to protect myself. Now we can be friends, and I can help you with what you need, or I can wipe you off the face of this earth. The decision is yours," Ryder told him.
When he was coming here, he had already thought of ways to protect him. That's why he had purchased a necklace from the system that was able to protect him from spirits.
The spirit looked at Ryder in silence.
"You can doubt me, but you can't deny that you can't touch me. And that was only one of my powers. I'm the ancient ghostbuster, and I have many ways to kill you, but you seem like a good guy; that's why I won't kill you unless you misbehave and hurt someone else," Ryder said with a proud look on his face.
In reality, even though the necklace could protect him and harm the spirit when it touched him, there was no other way for him to hurt the spirit.
There was an item that was able to destroy the spirit, but he didn't have enough points to get that at the moment, which made him try to bluff his way out.
"You can not help me!" the spirit said as he glared at Ryder.
"Why can't I help you? Just try telling me what you need?" Ryder told the spirit.

"Y-you can understand me?" the Spirit asked in surprise.
"Yeah, Is it strange? As I said, if you're just a spirit that is doing this for a reason, I can help you. On the other hand, if you're just doing it for fun, I would hope that you can stop it. I can kill you, but I don't want to do it if I don't have to," Ryder asked as he smiled.
His being able to understand the Spirit was also because of that necklace that he had bought from the system.
"I promise I won't harm anyone if you help me. You have to do just one thing for me!" the Spirit said to Ryder.
Ryder was visibly surprised at the moment. He thought that the spirit would be different and evil, but it seemed to be quite civil in the conversation with him.
"Tell me what you want?" Ryder asked.
"I need you to kill someone for me!" the Spirit told Ryder.
"Who and why?" Ryder asked in confusion.
"I want you to kill my son!" the Spirit said.
"Your Son? That's a first. Why do you want your son to die?" Ryder asked in an unusual tone.
"I was the owner of this building, but my son killed me for my property. I want you to kill him for me as I can't leave this building," the Spirit told Ryder.
"A son that killed his father for the property? Why? Doesn't a father's property belong to their son already after they die? Why was he in such a hurry that he killed his own father?" Ryder inquired.
"For a girl. That bastard killed his father for a girl! I want him to die!" the Spirit bellowed.
"Didn't you say he killed you for the property? Now it's a girl? Can you give me a summary of the events? It's getting confusing," Ryder asked as a wry smile covered his face.
"There was a man who wanted to buy this building, but I didn't sell it. I don't know why he was so eager. He was even willing to pay double for it, but I didn't sell it. It was a property that belonged to my father. The first big thing we owned, I didn't want to sell it at any cost. It wasn't like I lacked the money, but that bastard played a cheap trick!"
"He sent his daughter to make my son fall in love. That bastard did fall for her, and he even killed his father for the girl and sold the property to her father!" the Spirit said.
"Shouldn't you try to kill that man first then?" Ryder asked as he frowned.
"I already killed that man. He was the first person I killed! His daughter was the second person that I killed! Only that son of mine hasn't come here!" the Spirit said.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

STEM: The Topical Dungeon
Inspired by CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon by Ace Arriande and a spiritual successor to my writing prompt series Evolution Barricade, STEM is a series following the reincarnation of Kaden into the fantasy world of Brogdar. Reborn as a "DM" and a plant, Kaden tackles the challenges of being the agent of the chaotic god: trying to be his very own dungeon master. However, unlike other stories, Kaden is often making fun of and dealing with disadvantages that the normal reincarnated hero would never have to worry about. A parody of the normal tropes of isekai, STEM is a periodic series that is intended to release a minimum of once per week. There may be times where there is more than one drop, but those would be special occasions. Additionally, the content tags are simply to try and ensure my readers know these stories can encompass a large variety of things. They may not immediately be in focus, but they will all end up appearing!

Poké Oneshots [Requests Temporarily Closed]
This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
