Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 9
Advertisement
Ryder heard Janus' voice while he was lying on the ground, trying to calm down his fast breathing heart.
He sat up and walked over to the bed.
"This was a nightmare. Anyway, where is my reward? Where can I get those pills? They can be helpful," Ryder muttered as he sat on the bed.
Janus answered Ryder.
"Inventory? How do I access it?" He asked.
Although he understood what Janus was talking about, he still had some questions.
'Inventory? Did he take that term out of that game and gave me a similar inventory?' He wondered.
"Janus, Open the inventory!" He followed Janus's instructions and commanded.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a semi-transparent screen appeared in front of his face.
'I was right! It's similar to the inventory of the game. It looks like Janus took some ideas from Divinity,'
Ryder thought as he observed the inventory, which looked strikingly similar to the inventory of Divinity.
There were around 20 boxes in the inventory screen. The first box had a pill-shaped item with an 'X2' mark at the bottom of the box.
He tapped on the box, and the description of the pill appeared on another screen.
'What the hell? A single pill can increase my strength by 50%? Doesn't that mean that these two pills would increase my strength by 125% after the stacking of their effects? That will make me twice as strong as I am right now!'
He grew excited just at the thought of it. The pill was really miraculous and might actually be able to help him in his primary mission.
He double-tapped on the first box, and a pill appeared in the air. It floated in front of him.
The pill looks like a normal medicinal pill; it was not too big, nor was it too small.

He smelled the pill, and that's where the real difference came in. Unlike most of the medical pills, the red pill in front of him had a pleasing smell.
After initial hesitation, He placed the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
"My body... it's burning up."
He could feel his body heating up. That feeling disappeared in a few seconds, and everything returned to normal.
"Am I stronger now? I feel no different?" He muttered with a confused look on his face.
He walked towards his bed. He had two dumbells that were placed near his bed. He bought those so that he could exercise in his room.
Although he was a lazy man, he never forgot to do some exercise in the morning. Each dumbbell had a weight of 10kg.
He picked a dumbbell and couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't even feel the weight while picking it up. In fact, the dumbbells felt a little too light. He used his left hand and picked the dumbbell from it as well, but there was no difference. The 10 kg dumbbell was way too light for him now.
"Awesome! Although it was tough, the rewards are really not bad," He muttered as he placed the dumbbells back to their original place.
The inventory still hadn't disappeared. He double-tapped on the first box, and the second strengthening pill also appeared in front of him.
The first box that previously held a pill icon was now empty.
He grabbed the pill and swallowed it immediately. That burning feeling again came from inside and disappeared soon after.
'Janus, close the inventory," He commanded Janus.
He didn't have to ask him about the way to close it. He was able to guess it easily after learning how to open it.
The inventory disappeared.
'It's really like fantasy. Everything feels so impossible, yet it's happening right before my eyes. So magical.'

Bloody Hell
Alan Maxwell has one exceptional talent. He can read peoples body language and micro expressions so well that, in many cases it's not hard for him to fake being psychic. When a foreign agency decides that said talent would make him an exceptional spy, events quickly begin to spiral out of control. With enemies on all sides, and friends that will as soon kill each other as his enemies, Alan will have to put his skills to the test in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. ===I came up with this story in response to a question. I once asked someone why there weren't really any Yandere harems. I realize that the answer to that is 'everyone dies' but thats boring so... here we are. A story I came up with explicitly as an excuse to create a harem entirely out of obsessive psychopathic axe murderers. Or in other words - "What happens to Bond girls when they disappear?"As a warning, there are sex scenes. Its tagged. I'll leave an authors note at the top of any chapter that has them if you'd prefer to skip it.

I will note that, as pretty much all LitRPG novels have, that, to a certain extent, I have taken inspiration from other works I have read. This, however, is an original fiction. I hope any and all of you who read this fiction enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy writing it, and please feel free to comment - I recognice that this will need work and will have things like typos - please feel free to point out any obvious things I forget about or miss out, as well as any typos. Also, feel free to lob suggestions my way if you have any - while I may not use them, they could very well inspire me in some way or another and help me improve this fiction, even if just by a little bit.
