Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 277

"Let me tell you about this then. This scroll is a map that will help me get to the Moon Armor. I am quite curious about how your father got it. Still, he did a great service by getting me this map," Ryder replied as he opened the map and started looking inside it.
He was right. The scroll was indeed a map. It had various lines and various markings that it showed.
Ryder looked at the Map, but instead of getting happy, he got confused the more he watched the map. He couldn't understand a thing about the map.
There were no words on the map: just various lines and a cross at the center.
"Come here. Take a look. I don't have any clue about the place on this map. Do you have any idea?" Ryder asked Rale as he asked him to move over.
Rale stood up and walked closer, and looked at the map.
"This..." I think I have seen a similar map before. I would have to look inside the library again, but from my initial assumption, this map is of a city in the Death Domain," Rale let out as he frowned.
"A city in the Death Domain? It looks like I'll have to hasten to the Death Domain. This just gave me even more reason to go there," Ryder muttered as he rolled back the scroll and placed it back into his inventory.
' Sigh, I still need to go and do that quest with Shu. It's so strange that I'm spending less time in the main game and more time here doing secret quests. I wonder if there is anyone else that got a similar secret quest like this," Ryder muttered as he frowned.
****
While Ryder was wondering if anyone else had a Secret Quest or not, there was another person that was going through something important.
Alice had also joined Divinity a few weeks after he joined. She had even left the Novice Village. Alive took ten days to clear the novice village, which was the time a weak novice would take. It was Alice's first time playing Divinity or any mainstream game of this caliber. She had initial difficulty, but after ten days and doing quests in the village, she had passed the Novice Village as she became a level five player.

Alice had also entered the first kingdom that every player spawned in after passing through the Novice Village.
She appeared on the same spot on the Estella Kingdom where Ryder had appeared the first time he spawned here.
She had studied some details about the gameplay on online forums, so she knew where she had to go to get her class.
She started walking towards the Church of the Estella Kingdom.
As Alice was walking towards the church, she saw an old woman walking towards her from the other site. The old woman was hit by a man accidentally as she fell down.
Alice ran up to the woman.
"Uh, Grandma. Let me help you," Alice said as she placed her hand on the woman's shoulders to help her up.
" T-thank you, kind lady," the old woman thanked Alice.
"It's no trouble, Grandma. Please tell me where your home is. Let me escort you there. It's the least I can do," Alice said to the woman with an innocent smile on her face.
"Ah, no. Don't worry about me. I can really go home without any trouble. It's nearby. Please don't waste your time on an old and insignificant lady like me," the old lady told Alice as she waved her hand.
"If it's nearby, then that's even less of a problem. I can easily take you there, and I'll be back in no time as well," Alice chuckled as she refused to budge in her stance.
"Hahaha, You're a really kind girl and a really stubborn one as well. Just like how I used to be in my young days," the woman finally laughed as she agreed. "Fine. You can take me home."
Alice escorted the woman home.
The woman's home was an old house on the outskirts of the Royal City of Estelle Kingdom.
Alice reached the small house with the woman.
"Thank you, kind girl," The old lady said to Alice as she bowed her head lightly.
"Don't thank me, Grandma. It was just a little act of kindness. Anyway, I'll be going back now. I still need to get my class," Alice said as she started walking away.
The old lady smiled as she looked at Alice, leaving.

" You old bastard! You think you can live in peace without giving me back my money?! I'll kill you today!"
While Alice was leaving, she heard a loud shout from being. She saw a bearded man staring at the old woman with a knife in his hand. He started running towards the old lady to kill him.
"Stop!"
Alice also started running towards the lady to stop the man as she shouted.
Alice had reached level 5 by doing normal tasks in the novice village, so she had no fighting experience at all. She didn't even have any skills that she collected in the Novice Village unlike Ryder that left the Novice Village with two powerful skills.
Alice was just a normal girl with level 5 stats.
She reached the man first and held his hand to stop the knife from hitting the stomach of the old lady.
"Don't kill her!" Alice scolded the man, but her eyes opened wide as she saw the man using a different knife to stab her back.
"You dared to block my hand! You deserve what you got!" the bearded man let out with a cruel grin on his face.
Alice's HP continued going down.
The bearded man pulled out the knife as he looked towards the old lady, but that's when he noticed the city guards.
"Crap! Why are the guards at this part of the city!" the bearded man cursed as he started running away.
Alice's HP hit zero.
...
The countdown of logout began as Alice watched her body turning transparent.
"You little girls are really kind. Not many people will help an old lady reach her home. Not only that, you even sacrificed your life for me. I think you are what they call the Warrior of the Goddess. When you come back to this place in two days, make sure to come to my house," The woman told Alice.
While Alice was confused, she heard a system prompt.
Alice looked at the quest prompt and hurriedly tapped on yes before the logout timer hit zero.
That was the last thing that Alice saw before she woke up in the real world. She took off her glasses and sat up.
"Unique Class Quest? I heard about them. They are so rare. How did I get it so easily," Alice muttered as she looked at the door.
"This must be because I helped that lady. The game is hiding class Quest behind such menial tasks. This is really interesting. I should tell Brother about this. If he does the same task, he can get the Same Glass as well. We'll have the same class then," she continued excitedly as she stood up, but she stopped herself.
She sat down on the bed again as she shook her head.
"Wait a minute; he already has a class. He can't take a second class, I think. Also, I haven't told him that I have started playing Divinity. I should wait and get stronger before I join his team to help him," she muttered.
****
The Vampire King and High Duke Eston entered the Great Hall with Devilia and High Duke Mila.
"Welcome, Vampire King and High Duke Eston. Take a seat and rest a little before we get to work," Ryder told everyone.
What happened next was the same as the last timeline. High Duke Eston still didn't know about the infiltration by the Death Domain.
High Duke Mila told High Duke Eston about the need to use Dreimaia. After their initial banter like last time, High Duke Eaton agreed.
" Rale, you go ahead with High Duke Eston and Devilia. High Duke Mila and I will stay back with the Vampire King," Ryder told Rale.
This was the change he had made in this timeline. Instead of sending the Vampire King, he was sending Rale with High Duke Eston. He had already told Rale to inform High Duke Eston about the plan without letting Devilia head. Rale could do it, and since the Vampire King wouldn't be here, he can't hear the plan.
Rale is stronger than Devilia, so she would have a hard time hearing them as well, but still, Ryder told Devilia to come back instantly after showing High Duke Eston that place, leaving them there. Devilia was confused, but she agreed.

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

The Badboy Prince Just Can't Resist
"Why are you so nervous?" "I'm not.""Your pupils dilate every time you look at me. What are you so worried about, sweetheart?" He asks me, his warm breath fanning my ear. I rolled my eyes, and he took that as a response. "Why are you so afraid of me, Annalise?""I'm not," I repeated in a firm tone, trying to stop my body's temptation of leaning into his touch. "Then why can't you think properly while so close to me?" Damien's lips were now grazing my ear. His strong arms expertly pull me in, arms crossed around my waist ready to spin me back out. I despised the way he made me feel when we would dance, as if I liked being under his lead- it infuriated me. "I can think just fine." I spin myself back out, trying to take control. He chuckled,"This is why I find you so intriguing. You want to resist me, and I haven't found somebody like that before. It's quite frustrating, having someone who doesn't bend to my will."The nerve of this man!I scowled,"I'm not just going to follow your every command. Being a Prince doesn't mean you gain-""I could give you anything. A title or land, and any other girl-""I'm not just 'another girl' who will bend to your standards. I don't have time to pamper your ego as if you own the school.""In fact, I do. Thank you for reminding me sweetheart, sometimes I forget." Arrogance laced his tone, sending my fury into overdrive."I am nobody's sweetheart, especially not yours."His laugh sent vibrations through my body,"You have never failed to amuse me. I think we should get to know each other better." I felt his lips against my ear curl into a sly smirk.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Cover by @afranticdreamer#4 romance #1 royal 9-29-2020#1 kingdom 3-30-2020#3 king 4-3-2020#1 princess 4-13-2020#1 new 5-14-2020-All rights reserved -Kick back and enjoy a book with a little bit of mystery, magic, humor, and don't forget romance
