Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 83

Their loud chants brought Ryder out of his daze.
'What the heck was that. Since when have I started daydreaming?' Ryder thought with a frown.
He put that dream to the back of his head and continued his speech.
The Demons turned silent as they saw that Ryder was about to speak again.
"You're the proud demons of this great land! Always remember that! There's no one that can defeat us, but only if you all don't defeat yourself! So I would end my speech on one single note! Respect your fellow demons! We're a big family! We're the same species, and we shall reserve our strength for facing the enemies, not our own family!"
"That's all I want to say. I hope that you will be with me and make this land the greatest it can be. Thank you," Ryder finished his statement and walked back inside the palace along with the other Dukes and High Dukes.
"That was a great speech, Prince. It's been a long time since I've felt my blood boil like this. The last time it did was when we won the war against the Death Domain. I believe that you will be a great King to the people," 4th High Duke said, smilingly.
"I don't like your species, but as you said. We're all demons. I'll leave my prejudice behind so that we could keep our land the greatest," High Duke Magna said.
Slowly, everyone praised Ryder and his speech. Even Duke Orisis gave praise to Ryder, but it was uncertain if he was genuinely happy or not. He was hurt badly last time because of Ryder, so Ryder doubted his intentions.
They all gave Ryder their contact talisman before they departed. The ceremony was already finished.
"We'll take our leave as well. High Duke Oris can tell you the rest," High Duke Mia said before she left with the other High Dukes.

Only High Duke Oris and Duke Devilia had stayed behind.
"Now that it's official, you will stay in the Royal Palace. You will control the royal army, and they will only follow your orders from now on. You can get them to do anything except attacking any Noble or declaring war on anyone. You would need our permission to do it. You won't have any restriction like this after you become the King," High Duke Oris informed Ryder.
"You can come inside," High Duke Oris looked towards the left and called out.
Two people entered the hall. One of them was a young girl who looked like she had just turned 18, while another person was a man that had wings behind his back.
"He's Rale, He is the commander of the Royal Army, and he will be serving you. He might not look like it, but he is only slightly weaker than a Duke. So I'm sure he won't give you an opportunity to complain. The girl on the right is Miku. She's the Chief Maid. She'll handle the servants for you and take care of everything," High Duke Oris introduced them both.
" You might already know him; he's our Prince and your Master. You must take care of him properly. If he dislikes your service and wishes to have you killed, you will be killed. So don't neglect your duty," He said to the girl called Miku.
"Rale, You need to follow every order of the Prince. You must also keep him safe always. If he is harmed, you and your whole family will be killed as a punishment. You understand, right?" He said to the commander of the Royal Army.
"I will rather die protecting him than let any harm come to him," Rale pledged as he got down to his knees in front of Ryder.

"That's all for now. Is there anything else you're concerned about?" He asked Ryder.
"That's all for now," Ryder replied.
"You already know my palace, right? Here is my contact talisman. Contact me if you need any help or want to talk to me. I'll be here immediately. I'll take my leave for now,"
High Duke Oris gave Ryder his contact Talisman before he left. Only Devilia was left now.
Ryder was about to speak, but Devilia started speaking before him.
"Don't worry. I'll bring that girl here for you. You don't need to worry. Also, you already have my Talisman. Contact me if you need anything. I'll always be available for help," Devilia said before she left as well.
"Miku, I'm new to the Palace. Can you show me the places?" Ryder inquired.
The girl nodded her head.
"Rale, Come with me. There's something I need to talk to you about," Ryder told Rale.
Miku was walking in the front as she showed the palace to Ryder while Ryder and Rale walked behind.
"Rale, I have a mission for you. I need you to take a couple of your strongest guys and come with me to the outside world. Is that possible?" Ryder asked Rale.
"It is possible, my prince. There are space tunnels inside the palace that connect this place to various places on the outside. You must have gotten the keys to the Palace. You can open the doors of those tunnels with those keys," Rale replied.
"Oh? So those tunnels will take me to the human realm?" Ryder inquired
"Yes. There are five space tunnels underground. The first one is connected to the Human Realm. The second one is connected to the Death Domain. I am not sure about the other 3 as those have never been used before," Rale answered.
"Oh, nice. Then tell your men to be prepared. We'll be leaving in 2 days. I think 20-30 should be enough," Ryder told him.
"My Prince, May I know what we will be doing? The Royal Army has many great talents. If I know the mission, I would be able to select the best men possible," Rale inquired.
"You know about the Dark Elves Clan?" Ryder asked.
"Yes. I had read a little about them, but I haven't met them," Rale replied.
"We'll infiltrate the Royal Dark Elves Clan. They have something that I need," Ryder replied.
"You must be wondering why I didn't get the help of my master. The thing is that Master doesn't want to involve himself in worldly matters unless it's absolutely necessary. And I really need that thing. It would be really great for our realm if I get what I need. That's why I need the help of my army. A small team that is good in stealth as well as in battle," He further said.
"I understand, Your Highness. I know who to choose now," Rale affirmed.
"Good. You can leave now," Ryder told him.
"That's enough for today. I'll take the rest of the tour later," Ryder told Miku as she brought him to the bedroom.
He entered the bedroom and closed the doors as he walked back to his bed.
'Things are going good,' Ryder thought as he lay on his bed.
"I have been here for so long. Time to go back to the real world," Ryder muttered as he opened the logout screen and logged out of Divinity.
He woke up on his bed in the real world and took his Divinity Glasses off.

REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison. And that is what she is going for. Society frowned on different—especially her kind of different. Rule #4, "I wouldn’t bother the world as long as it didn't bother me." Unfortunately, the world bothered Erind's normal life. On the brink of death, an entity came offering powers to save her. Left with no other choice, she accepted it, changing into a new form—the first of many that'll help her survive this dangerous world. REND is a twist on the superpowered human genre combined with eldritch horror, but its main emphasis is character development and exploration, as it is mainly a psychological story. REND offers a unique reading experience. If you're looking for something different from the mainstream, then this story just might provide the experience you didn't know you were looking for. Cover is part of a wallpaper art commissioned from CristianAC. Chapter release every multiple of 5 days (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) of the month. 10 am Central/ 3pm GMT

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
