He clenched his fist as he controlled himself.

Maya, the artificial intelligence, and the A.I in charge of the game was floating in front of him.

Ryder stood there in front of her. None of them said anything for quite some time before Ryder finally spoke.

"Do you need something?" He asked Maya.

"I'm here to get some answers from you," Maya said as she gazed at Ryder.

She even ran the full diagnostics on the system of Divinity, but she couldn't find anything wrong. She finally decided to ask Ryder himself.

" Sure, Go ahead. " He replied.

" How did you get the 'All-Seer' skill? If you answer me honestly, you won't get punished. In fact, you will be rewarded." She said to Ryder.

'Rewarded? Was the reward you gave me last time not enough? " He thought as he glared at her.

He suddenly thought of an idea. A smirk formed on his face as he looked at her.

"I can tell you all about it, but you would need to do something for me." He said.

"Sure. Tell me, and I'll give you whatever you ask." She responded.

" Nope. First, you need to do it, and then I'll tell you." He said to her as he shook his head.

" Alright. Tell me what I need to do? " She replied instantly. The answer to her question was more important for her than anything else.

"Call me, Daddy." He said something that he never expected he would ever say to a computer program. Especially the one that looked like a little girl.

"What? Are you sure?" Maya looked at him with a weird look on her face.

She thought that he would ask for a special weapon or a special skill, but she never expected his request to be so weird.

"I'm sure. That's all I need from you." He said with a smile on his face as he gazed at her.

"All I need you to do is what I said. Nothing more." Ryder said to the girl.

He somewhat felt like a grown-up man doing something bad. Fortunately, no one he knew saw what he was doing.

Maya just looked at him for quite some time as she tried to process what was happening. Everything was quite weird for her. His request was simple, but she felt like something was wrong.

"Hurry, I don't have much time. I need to go on quests." He said as he looked here and there like he was about to leave.

'Alright. I'll do as you said." She said as she looked at him.

" D... Daddy, " She said in a low voice.

"What? I didn't hear you?" Ryder said as if he didn't hear her words. He didn't know why, but he was quite enjoying it.

"Daddy, tell me your secret!" She said, but this time somewhat louder.

He heard Janus' voice.

He was quite enjoying the whole situation, but Janus' words ruined it. Now he felt like he was a pervert for getting self Satisfaction in this situation.

"Alright, I heard you. That's enough." He said as he replied to her.

"You didn't give me my answer!" She said as she glared at him.

" There's one more thing. I need an answer." He asked.

" You said you only have one request." She said as she responded in anger.

" Well, I did have one request. But I also need you to tell me something since it's because of you I'm stuck in this situation. I won't tell you anything if you don't answer me first." He said to her.

" Alright. Ask your question." She finally said.

" It's my class! I can't get any class! What the hell am I supposed to do? " He complained.

" It's not my fault. You're the one who selected that quest of Salem. I can do nothing about it. It's a restriction of that quest. You can only select the class that Salem himself had. And to get that class, you'll find out what you have to do in the future. The moon scythe is the key to everything. I can't tell anything else about the quest." She replied.

" What class did Salem have? " He asked as he grew curious.

"His class was Demon Monarch. " She replied to him. As she talked about the class, Ryder could feel like she hated the class.

Though Ryder was more stunned at the special class itself, his mouth was opened as he repeated the words.

"Isn't that... isn't that too..." He found it hard to speak his next words.

"Enough about that! Give me my answers now. I've completed two of your requests now. Tell me how you got the All-Seer skill. " She got back to the topic as she asked him.

" That? I got that as a reward from the ..." Ryder stopped himself as he remembered the shock that coursed through his body the first time he tried speaking Janus' name.

"I got this class from Divinity. I'm not sure, but maybe I completed a special quest or satisfied the parameters or something? To be honest, I'm not quite sure." Ryder completed his words, though, in the form of a lie.

Maya looked at him as she observed his reaction, but she couldn't feel that he was lying. His heartbeat was quite normal as well.

"Are you sure that you know nothing about it?" She asked again.

" Yup," Ryder responded.

" Then why did you make me call you, Daddy? Were you making fun of me?" She said further.

" Oh, no. I fulfilled my promise and told you what you wanted; in return, I asked you to tell me what I wanted. It's not unfair." Ryder replied with a smile.

" I'm leaving now."

Ryder turned back as he left.

Although he wanted his revenge on Maya, he had a plan of his own on how to do it. It wasn't the time yet, so he had to act normal.
