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.

Isekai Dungeoncrawl - Am Ende mit meinem Latein
I have always thought I would live out my life without any major surprises.

Storm of the Elementals
The apocalypse was something that people were expecting to happen sooner or later, rising sea levels and everything. What our protagonist didn't expect was it to be from a system, let alone the fact that he missed it. Waking up as an elemental and being given frighteningly little info from a system that seemed a little off , stuck with 3 other eccentric individuals that he could almost swear are a bit dodgy, and not being quite sure he was human anymore, it was the start of a long day. It only got longer when he found out he was moved to a whole different world. ~ This is a slow burn story, focusing on the world and what happens if an eccentric historian gets transported in a world with systems and power that are not quite meant for him. ~ Some things you can expect: -No harem, god no. -Yes the protagonist is strong, no he isn't completely OP. -Other people who have been changed, he isn't the only special or chosen one who got transported or messed with. -It is sad to actually have to put this here, but the main character does shockingly have common sense.

A note from the Author: PLEASE leave a review and alert me of any plot holes, weak portions, and anything else. I am in desperate need of beta readers and feedback. I wrote this around the new year, 2020. It's about 40k words and the first in a planned series that follows Gar "Alany" Darron and his agency of detectives as they track missing persons in the city of Throne. I have the sequel planned but not written. Once this one is completely uploaded, I'll be uploading another, unrelated series that as of right now is roughly 160k words long, and somewhere in there, I'll write the sequel to Frame of Mind. I plan to go back and forth between the two series for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading.
