Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Don't worry about them. Just stop them for five minutes. After five minutes, let them in. Allow them to come up as well," Ryder said as he disconnected the call.

"What is happening?" Jameson asked with a frown.

"Your death," Ryder let out as he shot Jameson with the gun he had taken from the girl. The bullet passed through Jameson's head, killing him instantly.

Since he was wearing the gloves, his fingerprints were not on the gun. He placed the gun in Jameson's hands and left him lying dead in the bed, making it seem as if he had killed himself in fear of getting caught.

Ryder stood up and left the room. He opened the window and flew outside. As he left the place, he looked in the bushes where he left the girl and found it empty.

"As expected, she woke up. Whatever, I don't care anymore. I'm done," Ryder muttered as he continued moving.

He landed in an empty place and changed his clothes and took off his mask. He sent the old clothes back in his storage and wore the new ones, clearing every proof that he was somehow involved. His shoes were different, as well.

He walked closer to the mall and entered in his car. He drove it away and got back home.

Ryder entered his house and went to his room as he dropped down to his bed, tired.

Since Alice wasn't back yet, he also decided to order a pizza for himself.

He closed his eyes and just rested on the bed, calmly.

After twenty minutes, he heard a knock on the door. He stood up and walked to the door. He collected the pizza and walked back to his room.

After he ate the pizza, he again dropped on the bed as he closed his eyes.

He just wanted to sleep while he could. The day was too chaotic, and after it, this peace and silence seemed heavenly.

"Janus, Do you have a wife?" Ryder muttered out of nowhere.

"No," Janus replied.

"A lover?" Ryder inquired

"No," Janus repeated the same answer.

"You don't have a crush on Maia, do you?" Ryder asked.

"No," Janus answered.

"Good. I hate that one. If you ever decide to marry her, you'll never have my blessing," Ryder replied.

"I can't marry her," Janus replied.

"Why not? You can definitely marry her, but I won't tell you to marry her," Ryder added.

Ryder started feeling more sleepy with each passing second.

"You're a good guy, Janus. You're sometimes an A**hole, but your good. Thank you for giving me life. Thank you for changing my life. Thank you..."

Ryder fell asleep.

"Thank you for giving me life... Thank you for changing my life," Janus repeated the same word.

Janus didn't say anything else and just went silent.

Ryder slept like a baby in the silence of the house. In the evening, Alice also came home. She checked on Ryder and noticed that he was asleep. She silently left his room and went back to her room.

It was night when Ryder woke up. He walked into the washroom and washed his face before he came out. He left the room and walked into the kitchen to see if there was anything.

The dinner was already prepared. He had dinner and walked back to his room.

He laid in his bed as he wore the Divinity Glasses and got ready to Dive in.

"Take me to Divinity," He muttered.

He found himself back into the world of Divinity. He left his room and saw Miku standing there with clothes in her hand.

"What happened?" Ryder inquired with a frown.

"I brought you clothes to wear on the birthday celebration of the High Dukes," Miku said as she gave Ryder the clothes.

"I'll be right out," Ryder told her as he stepped inside the room.

He wore the clothes that she gave. He also wrote the items that were given to the High Dukes during the coronation.

He wore the Royal Crown, the Boots of Wind Blessing, and the robe.

He was looking like a proper Royal, and the crown only made him look more dignified.

He stepped out of his room, dressed like a king.

"Is Rale up?" Ryder inquired.

"No, Master Rale is still sleeping," Miku answered as she shook her head.

"Alright. I'll take the others from the Royal Guards and you with me. How many people can I bring?" Ryder inquired.

"As a prince, you can bring as many people as you want, but it would be good to keep the number low. I believe that five people in your entourage should be enough. If Master Rale was up, then only he would be enough," Miku said.

"It's fine. Let him sleep. I'll handle it without him. What's the worst that can happen? It's a birthday celebration, after all. Call Dale and tell him to bring three of the best people from the Royal Guards. We're going soon," Ryder told Miku. "I'll be in the hall waiting."

Miku bowed her head in respect as she left to call Dale and the others.

Ryder was sitting in the Hall when Miku came back with Dale and three other Royal Guards that had gone into the Undead Region with Ryder.

"Alright, guys, let me remind you. Rale got hurt fighting me because he was not using his full strength in fear of harming me, and he was injured. As for our small trips, no one will talk about them," Ryder reminded his people.

"Yes, Your Highness," They all placed their hands near their chest and bowed their head.

"Good. Come after me. We're going to High Duke Orisis's birthday celebration," Ryder said as he started walking towards the exit. The others followed after him.

They left the palace.

"That one is his Palace, right?" Ryder asked as he pointed towards one of the palaces.

"Yes. That's the one," Miku reminded him.

"Alright. Also, Miku, can you fly, or do you want me to help you?" Ryder asked Miku.

Two beautiful wings appeared behind Miku's back.

"I can fly," Miku said with a smile on her face.

"Alright."

Ryder started flying towards the palace on the right.

Miku and the others flew after him.

They all landed before the Palace of High Duke Orisis.

"Long Live the Prince."

As soon as Ryder landed there, all the guards dropped down to their knees as they greeted Ryder since he was the Royal Prince.

The door of the Palace was opened.

"Stand," Ryder told them as he started walking towards the entrance. He entered the Palace with his men.
