Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 10

"Janus, Open the store! "
He commanded in a low voice as he sat on his comfy bed. He was curious about the store and the things he could purchase from it.
'I have 20 origin points from the completed missions. Let's see what I could get with it,' He thought.
Another screen opened in front of his eyes. There were many items displayed on the screen, most of which were foreign to him. There was only one thing that he knew about, which was the Strengthening Pill.
Other than the Strengthening Pill, all the other items were unknown that made him click on them to find out their specialty. Surprisingly, a single Strengthening Pill cost 40 origin points.
"Strange. The reward for finishing the main quest is only 30 origin points, so in a sense, I gained more from the side quests than I will gain from the main quest."
" Is human life really that worthless?" He muttered with a perplexed look on his face.
"Janus! Isn't the reward for the main quest too low? How can it only be 30 origin points?" He tried asking Janus, but Janus' reply didn't help in the slightest.
'Well, I should've expected as much from him.'
"Let's see what I can get."
He didn't know when it started, but he realized that he had started talking to himself a lot.
He began scrolling down the list of items. There were many strange items there, but most of them cost over 30 origin points. The items that cost less were too few.
'Is learning the truth of nature really that helpful? I don't even know what that term means, but the cost sure is high.'
"This potion is quite badass. Too bad that the effects only last for a single day. After the day is over, and the person is freed from the effects of the potion, Won't that mean my death?"

He kept scrolling and scrolling. There were hundreds of items on the list. Some were quite good, while others were troublesome to deal with. The strangest thing that he noticed was that none of the items in the list cost over a hundred purchase points.
"Hey, Janus! Tell me honestly, am I restricted from seeing the more expensive items?" He asked Janus.
He had a feeling that this god-like system can't be this simple.
Janus answered back in the usual emotionless voice.
"How many missions do I have to complete to unlock the next level of the store?" Ryder asked Janus.
"Oh?"
'Honestly, I don't even feel like reacting. 15 missions? That's too far to even think about. I'm already finding it difficult to complete the first main mission.'
He shifted his focus back to the screen in front of him and chose an item.
"I really need it. Although I know how to use a sword because of playing Divinity for over three years as a knight, I can't go around with a sword in the real world. I'd get arrested by the police before I can even take a step out on the street. The manual cost me 15 origin points only."
As soon as he double-tapped on the screen to select the Manual, Another screen appeared nearby.
He looked towards the second screen and noticed that there were only two options on the screen. Yes and No.
"Of Course I would choose yes. Although it will cost me five origin points, it's much easier as well. Who knows how long it would take for me to learn that skill manually!"
With a wry smile on his face, he tapped on yes.
As soon as he touched yes, the screen disappeared. Years upon years of memories flooded his brain. It felt like he had been practicing fighting Martial Arts for many years.

'This feeling is so amazing. I can't even describe it.'
He was excited to learn the skill and increase his strength, but he suddenly started feeling tired and sleepy.
"I should probably take a nap for a few hours."
He yawned as he fell to his bed. He instantly fell asleep.
"Hmm?" Where am I?"
Ryder found himself standing on a stage. He was wearing a tuxedo.
Alice was standing in front of him in a beautiful white gown. She looked as pretty as an angel.
She looked into his eyes as she opened her sweet lips slightly.
"I do" The words escaped her mouth.
"Very good. With the power vested in me by Divinity, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You both may kiss each other now," A female voice said. He looked in that direction only to find Maya standing there with a book in her hand, dressed like a priest.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
