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.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
