Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 53

"Are you asking me about that, Scythe?" Ryder asked with a curious look on his face.
"Yes. Where did you get that from?" She asked again.
'I can't even see her level, let alone her stats. She must be a high ranking demon. Does she recognize the Scythe? As far as I know, it's the scythe of their missing king. I might be able to use this opportunity,' Ryder thought as he observed the woman.
"Answer me!" The woman let out loud. She looked quite impatient this time.
"This Scythe? It was given to me by my Master!" Ryder said.
The woman looked visibly surprised.
"Your Master? What is his name?" She asked.
"His name? I shouldn't take my master's name. It's inappropriate for a disciple," Ryder shook his head as he refused to answer.
"I'm telling you! Answer me, honestly! What is your master's name?" She asked.
Ryder could feel her terrifying aura. He was trying too hard to keep standing still, but the aura was making him fearful. He would have fallen to his knees if he wasn't trying so hard.
"I won't say my master's name, but I will write it!" Ryder said as he used his scythe to write a name on the ground.
He wrote, "S A L E M."
The girl looked at the name on the ground for 5 minutes straight before she raised her head and glared at Ryder.
Her terrifying killing intent had become even stronger.
'Did I misjudge the situation?' Ryder thought with a worried look on his face.
"I can't read that? Are you messing with me? Tell me the name straight away!" The Woman shouted in anger.
"Hmm? You can't read English?" Ryder exclaimed in surprise.

In the normal regions of Divinity, English was the only language, so he was quite surprised that the demons had a different language.
"What is English? I don't care about that. Just tell me the name before I'm forced to kill you!" She said loudly.
"Alright, Don't get angry. I'll speak his name," Ryder said. He didn't want to keep pretending to be respectful to his so-called Master. It was enough already.
"I'm sorry for speaking your name, Master. Please forgive your disciple," He said as he looked towards the sky.
He lowered his head down and started looking towards the woman.
"My great master's great name is Salem!" He said as loudly as he could.
"H-his Majesty?" The woman's mouth opened wide as she fell down to her knees. Her killing intent disappeared like it was never there.
The woman's eyes got wet as tears appeared in her eyes.
She looked at Ryder as tears kept falling from her eyes.
"W-where's His Majesty? I mean, where's your master? Is he alright?" She asked in a stuttered tone.
"He's fine. My master is in the outside world. I was there as well when he selected me as his disciple. He taught me so many things. He even gave me his personal weapon Moon Scythe," Ryder said.
"Outside world? You mean the Worldly Realm?" She asked.
"Yes. He is still there. After teaching me a few things, he asked me to go to the Demon Realm to gain some experience." He replied.
" Master said that the Demon Realm is his home, and it's the best place for me to stay there. He also said that he would come to meet me in the future," He kept bluffing without breaking character.
The woman in front of him started crying even more. Her tears kept falling from her eyes.

"I'm so glad. His Majesty is safe. His Majesty never married and didn't leave an heir behind. You're his disciple, that means you're our Prince," She said as if she thought of something.
'What?' Ryder was more excited than surprised. This situation was moving in such a great direction for him. He wanted to laugh out loud.
"May I know the name of our Prince?" She asked as she stood up.
"I'm Hades. Also, you don't need to call me Prince. I realize that I'm the only disciple of Your king and that you should really make me your Prince and give me the throne since my master doesn't want the throne, and he would be happy if you make me the king. But you don't need to do any of that," Ryder said with an innocent smile on his face.
"Right! We can do that for His Majesty! He doesn't want the throne, but by making you the king, we can keep His Majesty happy. Come with me!" She said as she stepped forward and caught his hand.
Her wings spread wide as if she was prepared to fly.
"Wait a minute. If you're taking me somewhere, I want that girl to come with us as well," Ryder insisted as he pointed towards the red-eyed girl.
The woman looked towards the girl that was sitting on the ground.
"But Prince, I see nothing special in her. If you want beautiful demons, you can get many in the place we're going to," The Woman said to Ryder.
"Just take her with us. I slaughtered the village to save her. Since I did all that, I might as well take her with me," Ryder said.
"Hmm? All that blood on the ground is because of you? Nice. I remember that His Majesty destroyed many towns and cities as well. It seems like the disciple is just like the master," She said.
She pointed towards the girl on the ground and gestured to her to come to them.
The girl stood up hesitantly as she stepped towards the woman.
The woman caught the girl's hand as well. She flew to the sky with both of them.
It seemed like she was using some magic that made them fly with her instead of being dragged by her.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Devilia. I'm a Demonic Duke in our Demon Empire," The woman introduced herself.
"Devilia? That's a cool name. I'm Hades," Ryder said.
He began looking towards the girl as he waited for her introduction.
"I'm Miyali; I'm just a low-level demon," The girl introduced herself as well.

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.

Note: This is my first work of fiction, and as such, there will almost certainly be issues with pacing, grammar, the writing as a whole, and the story as a whole.

The Fundamentals
You hear of many tales out there. Some depict worthy heroes wielding tremendous power, noble personas that fight to save the lives of their close friends, family, and all the rest. Good triumphs over evil, that is simply the way the world works, no? While this premise is something inherent to nearly all stories, what exactly the heroes used to attain success can differ greatly. Perhaps they've trained themselves to the limit, pushing past boundaries nobody else could hope to achieve. Others still, have merely inherited the grand legacy of another legendary being, but what they have done with such a legacy would cause their names to be passed on for generations. Rowan is one of the heroes who have ventured beyond the horizon, tempering themselves on a perilous journey all the while and succeeding in attaining strength beyond measure. However, in an unexpected turn of events, this strength caused him to tear open and fall through a hole in the realm he resided in. Now he has ended up in a completely foreign realm, whose inhabitants utilized strange powers that eclipsed his own. Fortune would smile upon him this day, however, as he discovered that they were not hostile, and even offered to teach him their ways. Rowan could see that this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and eagerly accepted their invitation to learn what would come to be known as: The Fundamentals.
