Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 12

He finally got there and looked to the side only to see an empty alley. A woman was lying on the ground while a guy was on top of her.
The guy looked like he was trying to tear off her clothes.
"H..."
Ryder was about to go there, but he abruptly stopped himself. It was decided that he would kill that guy but, he didn't want to let that girl see his face.
'Even if I am the one who saved her, it's not a hundred percent sure that she wouldn't help the police in creating my sketch and get me chased like a criminal for a murder,' He thought with a frown.
Fortunately, he had brought a mask with him. It was a black full-face pollution mask.
He wore the mask as fast as he could and when he was finally ready to help her, he ran towards her.
His footsteps were loud enough to attract the man's attention. The man turned back to look towards Ryder with a surprised look on his face.
"Leave that girl right now!" Ryder said as he glared at the black-haired man.
"Hoh? A knight in shining armor is here and he is hoping to save a girl? Didn't the little knight know that offending me means death? Let me teach you a lesson boy," The man said.
He stood as he observed Ryder. Ryder was able to see his height as the man stood up. He was over 7 feet tall with big bulky muscles.
"It's been a long time since there has been a person who rushed to his death like you. Do you know what happened to the last guy that did that? He was buried alive in the ground! But don't worry I won't bury you alive,"

"I don't have so much time to waste on you. I'll kill you right here and right now! I'll then leave your body here to rot!" The man said with a creepy smile on his face.
He took out a knife.
"What the heck, That's so creepy! You really deserve to die, Don't you?" Ryder's expression turned weird as he heard his reply.
'I don't think I'm going to regret killing him,' He thought.
He looked at the black-haired man like he was looking at trash.
Ryder started running towards the man while the man stood right there waiting for him.
Ryder punched out towards his face but immediately stopped himself as he dodged the knife in his hand that was coming towards him.
"Good reflexes." The man chuckled, but he didn't stop swinging his knife at Ryder.
Ryder kept dodging for a while but he realized that he didn't come here to dodge.
'I can't keep dodging forever. I need to take some risk if I want to kill that guy,'
He used the lower martial arts he learned from the system as he targeted the hand of the man that was coming towards him with a knife.
The knife flew out of the man's hands and landed on the ground.
The man didn't care for the knife as he punched towards Ryder's face.
Ryder made a fast movement and caught the man's hand. The man's fat hand was unable to move forward nor could it go back as Ryder held it tightly.
"Without the knife, I have nothing to worry about. You are too weak," Ryder said as a smirk appeared on his face.
He increased the pressure on the man's wrist which made him let out a scream filled with pain.

'I wasn't weak before eating the Strengthening pill but after eating them, my strength has reached a whole different level. The man in front of me can't compare,' Ryder thought as he observed the pained look of the black-haired man.
Ryder twisted his hand, making the back haired man scream even louder as his bones broke.
"Ahhh... You bastard. I swear that I will kill you!" The man roared loudly in pain as he glared at Ryder with an almost maddened gaze.
"Oh man, I was starting to wonder when you will threaten me," Ryder said in a mocking tone.
Ryder grabbed his other hand and broke it as well.
The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered as both his hands were broken. Tears had started to fall from his eyes.
Gripping his neck, Ryder walked towards the knife that had fallen to the ground and picked it up.
"You bastard! Kill me if you dare! Our gang will find you and make you have a fate far worse than death!" The man roared loudly at Ryder with a crazy look on his face.
Ryder was kinda surprised that he didn't beg for his life even in the face of death.
"Although you are trash, I must say that you do have some courage," Ryder said with a smile as he gazed at the black-haired man.
He gripped the knife firmly in his hand as he got ready to attack, but he couldn't.
He realized that his hand was shaking and his heart was beating faster.
It wasn't as easy as he had imagined. There was some hesitation when it was actually the time to do it.
"Just as I thought, you don't have the guts to kill a person. You're just a greenhorn. You are strong, but you can't kill. If you leave me, I can still take you in as my subordinate."
The man said as he made an offer to Ryder. He looked like he had somewhat calmed down and was now trying to tempt Ryder.

I Was Reincarnated as Someone's Mana??
My name is Magnus Karlsson, and by a series of rather unfortunate events that I had absolutely no say in, I was killed and reincarnated. In this story, you will follow Magnus as he tries his very best to survive in a world that's been thrown into chaos, together with the man whose mana he is, Allan Woodsworth. Well, not a man per se, more of a little boy who has no idea what the fuck is going on, but, you know... I'm sure it'll be fine. Nothing bad will happen to the pair. Nope. No abandoned kids here. Anyhow. The world that Magnus has been thrown into is one perversed by the will of a great mage who, three thousand years ago, decided that it would be a great idea to infuse all the people of the earth with so-called "orbs". These magical crystals allow their handler to control and generate mana, which they can then use to become mages. Most barely use them, since the mana cost of doing such a little thing as a fireball spell is absolutely ridiculous. Said mage, Theodore Cromwell, Magnus used his resources to infuse not only humans with orbs, but animals as well, giving rise to what the mage community calls "horrid perversions of nature", but what the common folk calls "monsters". Orbs can be used for much, and it is through orbs that people keep track on their level of mana and such, and destroying the orb of a monster is A, the only way to kill it and B, a good way to absorb extra mana and raise ones level. It is such an orb that Magnus has been tranformed into. ------ To those that care, I'm very sorry about the title, it's just that, well, it's very good to be blunt about isekais like this since people such as myself search precisely for this, so having super-serious names like "The Magnus of the World of Orbs" would turn people wanting a simple and fun isekai off. I hope you give this story a fair chance! ------ Edit: IWRASM now has a deviantart page!!! https://www.deviantart.com/thefunartcorner
8 83Gods of the mountain
Saia has started a new life after leaving her native village and its abusive goddess. Now she spends her time fishing sea snakes and trying to forget her mistakes, but this peaceful existence is derailed when the earth trembles for the first time in centuries. Koidan, the god who is supposed to protect her new village from every danger, asks for her help to survive, shattering the illusions Saia has believed in for her entire life: the nine gods are not immortal after all, and the mountain towering on the nine villages isn't as sacred and untouchable as she thought. In exchange for answers about the gods and lessons of magic, Saia pledges to save Koidan, pursuing at the same time a secret, more pressing goal: taking revenge on the goddess that oppresses her village and getting her old life back.

8 189Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
