Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 55

"What do you want to talk about? What could be so important that made you contact me?" High Duke Oris asked with a serious look on his face.
"I need you to call for a meeting of all dukes and high dukes. The others will only listen if you contact them," Duke Devilia said.
"Are you being serious right now? A high-level meeting can only be called when it's a matter of life and death! What can be so important! Did you get some information? Is someone trying to attack us?" High Duke Oris frowned as he said.
"That's not it, But in a way, it's more important than that!" She replied.
"More important than that? Be honest with me. What's happened that made you so restless?" High Duke Oris asked.
"I found a hint about His Majesty!" She said with an excited look on her face.
"What!" High Duke Oris exclaimed in shock as he stood up.
Duke Devilia could hear the sound of his chair falling to the ground as he stood up so suddenly.
'I expected that reaction,' She thought.
"Did you really find something about His Majesty? Is he alive?" He asked with a frown.
"Yeah. His Majesty is alive and perfectly fine," She said with a pleased smile on her face.
"Where is he?" He asked again.
"From what I heard, he's in the outside realm. The world of humans, elves, and others weaklings," Duke Devilia replied.
"How did you find out about this? Did you go there? Or did he contact you?" High Duke Oris inquired.
"None of that. I found it from his young disciple!" She explained.
"His Majesty has a disciple?" He exclaimed in shock.
"Yes. He's only 23-24 years old, I think. He's from the outside realm. I heard that he was sent here by His Majesty to train," She answered back.

High Duke Oris picked up the chair and again sat down.
"Are you sure of that boy's identity? Did he show any proof!" He asked in full seriousness.
"He did have proof. A proof that leaves no room for doubt. The proof makes it clear that he's a disciple of His Majesty," She responded.
"What proof of that? Don't tell me that it's a handwritten note. It's possible to fake a letter," High Duke Oris said as he glared at Duke Devilia.
"It's his scythe," She answered in a simple manner.
"What?" He asked again as if he didn't manage to hear it.
"It's the Royal Moon Scythe of His Majesty. That boy has the Royal Scythe! We all know that no one can touch the scythe without His Majesty's permission. It's clear who that boy is," She explained.
"Is that the real Royal Moon Scythe? Are you sure of it?" High Duke Oris asked with a frown.
"It is real. I'm sure of it. I could feel the same feeling of dominance from this scythe as I felt when I first saw the scythe in His Majesty's hand. It was as if it was declaring to me that it's still the same king of weapons," She said as she remembered that chilling feeling she felt.
"Alright. I hope that you didn't lie to me about any of it. I'll be calling a meeting of the nobles, and you can bring him with you. I'll tell you the date of the meeting. It's time we also see the disciple His Majesty chose," High Duke Oris said with a grin appearing on his face.
The mirror returned back to normal as the connection was disconnected.
"Sigh, It took so long to convince the old man. It's good, though. Everything's about to be changed," she said with a relieved smile on her face.

She stood up as she walked back to her bedroom.
Ryder and Miyali were already on the bed. They were sharing the same bed and blanket, but since the bed was quite wide, there was a meter of distance between the two of them.
Their backs were facing each other as they fell asleep.
It was around 2 at night when Ryder's sleep broke. He could feel a heavy weight on his body that was pressing down on his body.
"Umm?" With a frown, he opened his eyes, and he was surprised to see that Miyali was sleeping on top of him.
She was somewhat shorter than Ryder, so her head was resting on his chest.
'This girl? She was worried about me molesting her, and now she's sticking to me like a koala? This is weird. What can a poor boy do when a girl is lying on him like that?' He thought with a wry smile on his face.
He could feel that a certain part of his body was starting to react.
"Sigh, This girl is trying to make me commit a crime. I won't force myself on her, though. I can be many bad things, but someone who forces a girl is not one of them," he muttered softly.
He turned his body sideways and tried to get the girl to come off his body, but she was sticking too tightly to him.
He further turned, which resulted in him being on top of her. He lifted his body up, but she still didn't separate.
She wrapped her hands around his back so hard; it looked as if she was clinching to her life.
Ryder slightly jerked his body, and after some effort, he was finally freed. The girl fell on the bed.
Because of the impact, the girl woke up as she opened her eyes.
As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ryder's face.
Her mouth opened wide as she realized that Ryder was on top of her.

Ode to Fallen Angels
Jericho, the land of humanity, squirms in pain. Magic has been forbidden for so long in this so called "Age of Silence", that all Arcane knowledge has been presumed lost and irrecoverable, and the echoes of God's Will grow fainter with every passing year. The sight of Demihuman caravans is less frequent every day, as the likes of orcs and elves have learned to no longer beg for help from those who despise them. Clearly, they can expect more from the voracious wild lands than from humankind. Many have succumbed to despair, some driven mad by their fruitless efforts to bring back a Golden Age that they only ever read about in books. And in the middle of it all, in an old chapel lost in the Eastern lands, young Gabrielle lives in complete ignorance. She is another orphan living under the mercy of the Church of the Saints; one bearing the mark of evil in her red hair, the telltale sign of a Witch. In an Age of the Silent, the Prejudiced, and the Hateful, she clings to a single hope: that one day, be it in life or maybe after it all ends, she may find herself forgiven of her sin. The sin of being born.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
