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.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
