Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 89

Ryder smiled as he stepped out of the car as well. This place brought back so many memories. He could see his parents laughing while he played the games on his phone.
Just when Ryder was getting depressed, Alice held his hand as she pulled him with her. She took him to the spot under a tree where they always sat when they were on a picnic with their family.
They sat down and rested their backs against the tree as they looked at the distant horizon.
"I can't believe that it has already been 8 years since they died in the accident," Ryder let out softly.
"Yeah, feels just like yesterday when mom left me at your house in your care while she left with your parents for a party," Alice muttered.
Mission: Tell Alice that you have kissed her on her lips in her sleep.
Reward: 10 Origin Points
Punishment for failure: Your car will transform into a robot and fly away
Time Limit: 5 minutes>
'That's stupid! Now you're copying the stories from the movies as well? Can't you let this peaceful atmosphere be already?'' Ryder thought with a wry smile on his face.
Janus answered.
'You and your strange words. Sigh, I know well enough to know that you won't take back the mission. I'm about to get slapped, aren't I?' Ryder thought.
"Ahmm, Alice?" Ryder said softly.
"Yeah?" Alice turned to look at him.
"I am going to tell you something, but please don't take it seriously," Ryder said. Alice just looked at him with confusion.
"I kissed you on the lips when you were sleeping," Ryder blurted out as he closed his eyes and waited for the slap.
"You're joking, aren't you?" She asked in disbelief, and Ryder simply nodded his head.

"I thought so. There's no way you would be shameless enough to do that," Alice chuckled as she replied.
"Ahh, Right," Ryder replied before he closed his eyes and pretended as if he was resting.
Janus said to Ryder.
'I followed the rules of the game this time,' Ryder replied to Janus.
"I'm not joking. I did that, and I'm sorry," Ryder told her as he didn't feel like lying to her.
Alice simply looked at Ryder for a brief moment before she closed her eyes as well. She didn't respond.
10 minutes passed in silence.
Mission: Take Alice back to the city
Reward: Secret
Punishment for failure: Alice will die
Time Limit: 10 minutes>
'This one is quite weird, I must say. I thought you would give something difficult to spite me,' Ryder thought as he opened his eyes.
"Alice, Let's go," Ryder told Alice, but she didn't react.
"Alice? Are you sleeping?" Ryder asked, but Alice didn't reply.
"I guess she fell asleep. That was fast," Ryder muttered as he looked at the calm sleeping face of Alice.
He stepped towards her as he inserted one of his hands below her knees and another under her back as he picked her up like a princess.
'I can't break your sleep just to complete my mission, but I can't fail it either,' Ryder thought as he stepped towards the car. He didn't notice, but there was a smile on Alice's face at the moment.
He opened the door of the passenger seat after some struggle and put her on the seat before he closed the door.
He walked back to the driver seat and started the car as he left.
Only 8 minutes had passed since Ryder left before a helicopter came crashing down.

It crashed on the tree below, which Ryder and Alice were sitting about 10 minutes ago.

"Hmm? Why are we in the car? Did we leave?" Alice opened her eyes after a few minutes as she asked.
"Yeah, I remembered that there was something else we had to do," Ryder replied.
"Oh, where are we going now?" She asked.
"An amusement park. We'll spend some fun time there and then go to a nice place for dinner," Ryder told her.
"Oh, nice. I'm resting. Wake me up when we're there," Alice said before she rested her head on Ryder's shoulders and closed her eyes.
They got to the biggest amusement park in the city and spent the rest of the day here as they explored the place together. None of them had even been here as this place was opened 7 years ago. A year after their parents died.
Ryder was more into the scary rides, while Alice rejected those as she was scared of heights. Ultimately Ryder gave up on them and went to more normal rides with her.
They explored the Haunted House. That was the place where Ryder saw the inner child of Alice that always looked so brave. She jumped in shock every time something scary popped out. Ryder's smile never left his face as he enjoyed every moment.
It was already evening when he left the place with Alice. He took her to the most expensive restaurant. Even the cheapest dish there was worth over $100. Ryder ordered everything that he felt would be good without worrying about money. In total, he had ordered $3000 worth of items.
"There's no need to spend so much!" Alice told him, but he simply replied, "Don't worry about it. It's not like we are coming here daily."
"Did you really earn so much from your app? Why didn't you tell me before?" She asked.
"I'll tell you more after everything's settled. We might even be able to get a mansion if things go as I planned," Ryder said smilingly.
"I really hope that you're not doing something illegal," She said suspiciously.
"Everything I do will be perfectly legal," Ryder said.
'Mostly legal,' He added in his mind.
They finished dinner. Ryder paid the bill before they left.
A Ferrari Whirlwind E stopped before the small house of Ryder, but no one was out on the streets to see at the moment.
Ryder parked the car and walked inside the house with Alice.
"How was it? Did you enjoy the day?" Ryder asked Alice.
"Yes, It was the best day of my life. Thank you for everything," Alice said as she stepped forward and kissed on Ryder's cheeks before she walked inside her room.
"Well, I guess I should plan more trips like this," Ryder muttered as he rubbed his cheeks before he entered his room.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
