Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 15

"Little boss! You're here!" A man came towards them. Three guys followed behind him.
"Mark, Where's Aunt Esmi?" Bastian asked in a casual tone.
"Madam is waiting for the young Master in her office. I'll go inform her right now." The man replied.
"It's fine, Mark, I'll go to her myself," Bastian said as he started walking towards the second door. He pulled Ryder along with him.
"Alright." The man, named Mark nodded his head as he followed them.
' I'm surprised that he didn't ask for my identity. It looks like Bastian's identity is not that simple since he can bring me inside without any checking or inquiry.' Ryder thought, but that was when he heard Janus' voice again.
As soon as Janus said his first words, Ryder knew that it would be another mission. He had already realized that he was in trouble.
Ryder wanted to cry as soon as he heard the mission.
Mission: Tell the Owner of the Bucky's club that you have a crush on them.
Mission Reward: The host will be given the key to open the mystery box that he had received.
Punishment for Failure: The host will never get the key to open the mystery box in his storage, and thirty origin points will be deducted from the host's account.
Time limit: 6 hours>
'There's no doubt about it. Janus is trying to get me killed.' Ryder thought with a wry smile on his face as soon as he finished hearing the mission.
He wanted to cry as he thought about how brutal his death will be, but no tears came out of his eyes.
'The owner of this club must be the biggest mafia king here. Since Janus gave me this mission with a 6-hour time limit, that means he must be in this club right now. Who can the boss be? I'll try to say it like a joke; maybe he won't get offended. I really want to see what's inside the mystery box.' He thought as he walked with Bastian.

"Hey, Bastian, Who's the boss of this place?" He asked Bastian with a thoughtful look on his face. It was the best choice to get some information out of him since he seemed like a famous person here.
"Oh? The boss? You'll see the boss quite soon." There was a mysterious smile on Bastian's face as he replied to him. Ryder had no choice but to wait.
'It's a good thing that I have 6 hours,' he thought.
They finally reached the second door that was protected by the guards. As soon as the guards saw Bastian, they moved aside.
"Aunt?" Bastian said as he knocked on the door.
"Oh? Bash, you're here! You have made me wait for so long. Come on inside." A female voice came from the inside.
Ryder realized that it must be the voice of his Aunt Esmi. Since she had her own office here, she must be the manager of the club.
"Alright. " Bastian opened the door and entered inside. He was holding Ryder's hand; thus, Ryder had no choice but to enter the room with him.
There was no one inside the room other than a woman.
The woman looked like she was in her early thirties, but she seemed quite pretty. If Ryder hadn't realized that she was Bastian's Aunt, he would have considered her his sister.
The woman had beautiful blue hair that came down to her shoulders. Her fair skin and her almond-shaped blue eyes added to her charm.
She was wearing a black dress, but that dress was showing some of her cleavage. Her tight dress made her figure stick out even more.
Ryder shifted his focus from the woman, but his eyes opened wide after noticing the gun lying on the table in front of her. He was getting a feeling of danger.

"Who might this guy be?" The woman asked as she looked towards Ryder.
"He? He's my best friend from university days. We lost contact after I left the country, but luckily I was able to meet him when I was coming here. His name is Ryder Flynn," Bastian informed his Aunt with a smile.
"Oh, right, Ryder… I remember you used to tell me about him years ago. Unfortunately, I never had the time to go to your university and couldn't meet him. It's good that you found your friend again." The blue-haired woman said with a smile.
'Her smile is so beautiful. Now I understand where Bastian gets his good looks from. It must be in the genes,' Ryder thought as he saw her smile.
"Hey, Ryder. I'm Esmi Gibson. It's nice to meet you finally. I hope you can take care of this nephew of mine as you did at the university. He just came back from foreign, so he doesn't have many friends." The woman known as Esmi said as she looked towards him with a smile.
"Ah... Yes!" Ryder hurriedly nodded his head and replied to her.
"Let's go. It's time for your birthday celebration," Esmi said to Bastian as she stood up and walked towards them.
Ryder was finally able to see her ultimately. Just as he had expected, she had a devilish figure that was perfect. She had a height of around 5ft 7 inches.
Her dress was only slightly shorter than her knees and covered her thighs but still exposed a decent amount of her legs.
"I'm looking good, aren't I?" Esmi inquired with a smile as she noticed Ryder looking at her.
"Ah, yes," Ryder replied to her without thinking.
"Let's go then." She held Bastian and Ryder's hands as she left the room with them.
The music stopped as soon as she came out of her office.
"Guys! As you have all been informed that it's my nephew's birthday today! Everything is free in the club for the night! Enjoy the night to the fullest!" Esmi said loudly as she informed the people of the club.
"Yayyy!Boss is the best!" There was a loud cheer amongst the people of the club.
"Happy Birthday, young boss! "
Everyone started wishing Bastian, but Ryder, on the other hand, had begun to have a headache.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Anti-Hero: Journey of Fear
There is a story where the hero makes friends, completes quests, and saves the world. This is NOT that story. In the VR world of Fate: Experience Acute Realism, the main character cuts his way through both the players and NPCs alike. This story takes a close look at how a true full immersion VR would be played. The setting is an open VR world where the players struggle to survive with a lack of knowledge and the NPCs panic in regards to the Travelers invading their world. The anti-hero of this story is cold and calculating. Sparing no one from his reign of terror he gives into occasional bouts of kindness before he is forced back on the path of blood and tears. For where there is a hero who seeks to bring people together to help the world move forward, there is an anti-hero who brings people together to seize the world for himself. WARNING: This story contains extreme violence, in every single chapter. This story contains references to sex, but no explicit scenes. This story has light to mild swearing. My chapters normally range from 4,000 to 5,000 words. This story does not contain happy endings, middles, or even beginnings.
