Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 24 - 24: Let's Start An Organization!



The man looked at the girl and observed her for a brief second before shifting his gaze back to Ryder.

" You... Of course, you're lying! I can see it on my baby's face that she is telling the truth. It was just as she said; you tried molesting her when she was here. You hit her ass while she was walking and talked inappropriately to her! You even invited her to sleep with you for the night. How dare you do this to my girlfriend. You deserve to die!" The man let out loud.

'What the hell? Aren't the rumors getting exaggerated?' Ryder thought with a stunned look on his face.

"Elder brother, I never expected you would be this badass? Although I don't like the fact that you molested the girl, Since you're my brother, I still support you!" Shu said with an honest look on his face.

" You... You idiot! Why do you believe her words as well? " Ryder scolded Shu with a red face.

" Enough talking! Time for your punishment!" The man said as he punched towards Ryder.

" It came to this, after all. I can't say that I didn't expect it, though," A wry smile appeared on Ryder's face as he caught the man's fist.

As soon as he attacked Ryder, Ryder was able to see that his speed was quite slow, or maybe Ryder's reactions were fast.

 Ryder tried blocking his hand just to see if he really was strong. He was proven right.  This guy was... too weak—only slightly stronger than the old Ryder before taking the strengthening pills.

"I gotta say, you're weaker than I expected," Ryder said to the man with a mocking grin on his face. 

He didn't know why, but he was quite enjoying the feeling of superiority.

"You bastard! Free my hand this instant! Do you even know who I am? You don't know who you have messed with!" The man said in a pained voice.

" Hmm? Why does this threat sound familiar? "  A frown always in Ryder's face as he heard the threat.

He felt like he heard the same words being said before.

" Oh, right? Didn't your girlfriend say the same thing before she left? She brought you. Who will you bring after you leave? " A smile appeared on his face as he gazed into the man's eyes.

Ryder started tightening my grip on his hands. He wanted him to feel pain. He wanted him to regret offending him. 

"If I didn't have the strength, I would be the one being beaten at the moment. Why can't I do the same? I'll beat the crap out of this man before leaving. " Ryder smiled as he watched the pained look on the man's face. The man was already down to his knees by now.

Even the people standing in the long line to get the game were stunned as they watched the fight.

"Hey, Is he really a gamer? How can he be that strong if he is one of us?" 

" What do you think? I feel like he isn't a gamer at all."

" Yes, He must be trying to impersonate us gamers for some evil plot of his."

" That makes sense! He's so evil!" 

" I just hope that whatever evil plot he's hatching against us gamers never comes to fruition." 

" Hey, I just noticed that anyone could impersonate us gamers. We should come up with something like a Gamers organization. That will assign real identity badges to gamers and rank them so that people like him can't pretend to be one of us. It will save us from the evil plots of people like him." 

The crowd had started a discussion of their own in the meantime.

Ryder didn't know about it, but he had unintentionally planted a seed in the hearts of gamers that will go on to become a big tree in the future.

He was enjoying seeing the pained look on the man's face and waiting for his apology, when something he didn't want to happen, happened.

He was assigned a mission by Janus.

<Ding... A new Sub-missions has been assigned to the host>

<Mission 1: Make the girl who falsely accused you, to kiss you intentionally. 

Reward: The Host will receive 5 origin points, and the 2nd chain mission will be unlocked.

Punishment for failure: 1 origin point shall be deducted. The Chain mission will not be unlocked

Time limit: 2 days>

Janus' voice appeared in his head and gave him a new task.

'Hmm... The mission... it sounds easy, but it's quite tough. I'm being asked to make someone else's girlfriend kiss me intentionally?'

'Let alone the difficulty, Even if I succeed... Wouldn't that make me seem like a girlfriend stealer? Well... the punishment for failure is only one origin point, and I can afford to give up on the quest, but what attracts me is something else entirely...'

' A chain mission! If I'm not wrong, It should be something like a chain quest? You complete a seemingly ordinary quest, but it turns out that the quest was the key to receiving a secret quest filled with rare rewards. The rewards for the chain mission must be awesome. I can't let this opportunity go to waste.'

' As for the girl, she already maligned my character when she lied. I might as well complete this mission." Ryder made up his mind.

As he gained back his focus, he noticed that the man had already lost consciousness because of pain. He kicked the man away as he walked towards her.

The girl looked scared as she took a step back, but she didn't run.
