Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 457

Miku instantly left the hall to bring things Ryder might need, leaving only Rale behind with Ryder.
As she stepped out of the hall, she saw Miyali standing at the door.
Miyali had stood there, waiting for Ryder since the moment the High Dukes left to tell him about her willingness to train.
"Miyali, do you need something here?" Miku asked curiously.
"Ah, yeah. I wish to meet him to tell him something," Miyali answered.
"Oh, he is free right now. You can go in, I suppose," Miku told Miyali.
"Anyway, he told me about your training. Do you actually accept to be trained?" She inquired further.
"Ah," Miku was surprised that Ryder already told her about it.
"Yes. I am ready. That's what I wished to tell him as well," she continued further.
"Oh, good. We can start training from tomorrow. I look forward to training you," Miku responded. "Anyway, I should get going now. I have to prepare for his highness's departure as well."
"His departure? Is he leaving again?" Miyali asked, surprised.
"Yeah. He is leaving again. His trip this time might be long as well," Miku surmised before she left.
Miyali stood at the entrance for a long time, simply lost in thought about the possibility of not seeing Ryder for a long time.
"She didn't like that. She didn't know why but from the moment she saw Ryder, there was some part of her that made her feel close to him. She didn't understand it herself but it was as if there was some old connection between them.
She felt at peace when she was with him and felt sad when she didn't see him for a long time. She wished to understand what it was about herself, but she didn't. There seemed to be some unknown element that she couldn't place her hand on.

After quite some time, she shook her head as he tried to stop thinking about it. She even patted both her cheeks lightly to get her out of it.
After taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open slightly.
Even before she could ask for permission to enter, Ryder noticed her. "Miyali, why are you standing outside? Come on inside."
Miyali opened the door even more and stepped inside.
"Did you need something?" Ryder inquired softly.
"Ah, Yes. I came to talk about what you said recently." Miku nodded her head.
"Oh, about that. Good. So, did you think about it already? What's your decision? Do you wish to train? Or you don't?" Ryder asked softly.
"I accept. If this is a way in which I can't help this place and atone for what I did, I accept. I wish to be helpful any way I can," Miyali acknowledged in full seriousness.
"Awesome. I've already told Miku about it. She can train you. Just tell her you agree to be trained." Ryder stood up from his throne with a pleasing look on his face to see Miku agree.
"Alright. You can get back to work now," he told Miyali as he reached her.
He walked out of the Hall. Rale followed behind, not even asking where Ryder was going.
As Ryder left the hall, Miyali remained alone inside. She simply stood there as if she didn't know what to do. She felt like something was not right.
Ryder left the palace with Rale. The guards who stood outside greeted Ryder respectfully.
"I wish to take a walk in our Royal City. It's been quite some time since I actually saw it. I heard there is a pretty neat marketplace. Come, we'll take a short trip while we're free. Let the city see the glory of their Prince and make sure that I'm actually here. So no one suspects that I have gone somewhere else," Ryder told Rale as he flew into the air alone.

He was able to fly for longer than two hours now because of his level being higher. This made him not need Rale's help since he was only going to fly for a short distance.
His cloak flew in the air behind him as he flew against the flow of air. He wasn't wearing a crown at the moment. It was in his inventory.
But he still looked glorious even without the crown because of the special boots, the robe that was given by the High Dukes. His Royal Clothes made him seem even better.
Rale closely followed behind Ryder. As they were going nearby, he didn't feel like there was a need for more guards. He alone was enough.
Ryder and Rale soon reached a cross-section at the most famous crossing in the main market of the Royal City. It was a place that had most of the famous shops in the Royal City.
He had not walked through the Royal City previously. He had walked through a few cities and met up with people when he was on the trip to roam the duchies. But he still hasn't walked through the Royal City.
He did see the citizens of the Royal City right after his coronation, though.
As Ryder and Rale landed in the middle of the crowded place, the entire place went silent. All the eyes ended up on him as the citizens recognized them.
The citizens recognized Ryder and Rale.
They instantly dropped to their knees in the form of respect and bowed their heads.
Ryder roamed his gaze over the people on the street. Only Rale and Ryder could be seen standing.
[Intimation activated]
Ryder instantly activated his intimation skill to have an intimidating aura around him.
"You can stand," Ryder said casually. Even though he talked normally, because of his intimation, he sounded much more dignified.
Unfortunately, the citizens were much higher level than him, so the skill could only have the effect of making him seem dignified.
After his commands, the people stood up, but their gazes didn't leave Ryder.
"You guys can continue doing what you were doing. I'm just here to take a walk and see the city," Ryder further said.
His words weren't as effective this time, though. At Least not as much as he had hoped.
The citizens did get back to their work, but it was evident that they were much more interested in Ryder. Their gazes never left Ryder.
Ryder could only sigh and regret his choice of not disguising himself before coming here. If he had done so, he might be able to have a better experience.
"Is there an accessory shop nearby?" Ryder asked Rale.
"Treasure accessory or just the fashion ones? There are many of both types," Rale inquired in return.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

ELIOT NESS FOR MAYOR is a short novel of magical-realist fiction, a stand-alone book in the Shantytown Cycle. Written for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I will be posting revisions as I complete them and should be done by early 2022, though I am making major changes so the timing may be longer. This book is cross-posted on two websites: Wattpad and Royal Road. Both are reputable, high-quality sites. Do not trust this book on other websites. They "scrape" material from reputable sites, posting the stolen material as an original to lure users in, but contain links that include malicious code.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.
