Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 32 Shu's misfortune

Chapter 32: Shu's misfortune

[Error: The skill can't be removed]

A red screen was in front of Maya that was showing the error.

She couldn't believe that she was unable to remove the skill of the man.

She tried once more, but the end result was the same.

"This can't be happening." She muttered as she fell into deep thoughts.

She decided to test something else.

She tapped on Enraged Slash.

Again two options appeared in front of her.

[Update] [Delete]

She tapped on delete.

[Error: The skill can't be removed]

Again a red screen appeared in front of her that showed her the error.

She made another gesture with her hand, and a different screen appeared near her that showed a different person.

Surprisingly, that person's player name was Big Daddy.

She didn't know that he knew Ryder. It was just an unfortunate coincidence that he was chosen for the testing.

________________

Since the number of players in the game was high, there were more than a hundred novice villages. Players were sent to one of them randomly.

Most of the things were the same in all these villages.

In one of the villages, a man was walking around.

The man looked to be in his mid-twenties. He looked somewhat fat, and his height was small, but he was walking in full swag.

It wasn't clear how he did it, but he had managed to find some stylish gla.s.ses that he was wearing at the moment.

He was going inside the valley to fight level 1 beasts.

The man was the Owner of Dream Corporation, Shu Maxwell. The man Ryder met during the day.

"Brother Ryder still hasn't accepted my request. I'll call him after I log out." Shu muttered in an upset tone as he continued walking ahead with a sword in his hand.

He had managed to find a level one snow wolf. He ran towards the wolf to have his first fight.

Maya was looking at the screen that showed Shu running towards the beast, but she didn't care about it.

"Show me his stats," She said.

Another screen appeared that showed the status of Shu.

[Update] [Delete]

She tapped on delete, and a different screen appeared in front of her.

[Deletion Successful]

"It works. There's no problem here. Then why isn't it working on the other guy? " She fell into deep thoughts.

She completely forgot about Shu as she closed his screen. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she even forgot to restore his skill.

_________________

Shu was running towards the beast with full confidence. He had just learned the skill from the Sword Elder and was ready to show off its effects.

"You stupid beast! How dare you terrorize the lands when this Young Knight is here? You shall be punished! "

" Eat the special move of Big Daddy! " Shu let out loud as he raised his sword high in the air.

" Slas.h.!.+ " He roared as he swung his sword.

The sword did manage to hit the wolf, but Shu could feel that something was strange.

There was no power behind that attack. It felt like a normal swing of the sword.

He had expected the beast to either be dead or heavily wounded, but only a small wound could be seen on its skin.

He could see the red eyes of the beast, and he started to regret his decision of coming to face the beast alone.

He didn't know why, but there was a weak voice in his head that was telling him something.

He couldn't understand what it was saying, but he felt like the voice was telling him that he was f.u.c.ked now.

He somewhat agreed with the voice as tears appeared in his eyes.

Ryder had no idea that his Ja.n.u.s had not only turned his life into a living h.e.l.l but it also caused poor Shu to be punished.

Ryder finally found the old woman sitting outside.

He walked towards her and stopped as he stood in front of her.

"Grandma, I found the herb for you," Ryder said with a smile.

"You... you're back so soon? You're not hurt, are you?" She was surprised as she saw Ryder and the gra.s.s in his hand.

"I'm perfectly fine. Not even a scratch on me." He said with a smile.

'Though I'm not sure about those 20 guys.' He thought with a wry smile on his face.

He gave the nine sun gra.s.s to her.

"Thank you, son. Now I might be able to live for longer and see my son once more. I don't know how I can thank you enough." She said in an emotional tone as he held the nine sun gra.s.s in her hand.

"You don't need to thank me, grandma. I'm like your son, after all." Ryder said.

" I shall go now. " He said as he turned back to leave.

"Wait. I want to give you something." She said suddenly.

Ryder stopped in his tracks as a grin appeared on his face.

His expressions returned back to normal as he turned back.

"I don't have any money to give, but I can teach you the skill of mine. " She said in a gentle tone.

" That would be amazing. Thank you, Grandma." Ryder thanked her.

" Very well. " She smiled.

A notification screen appeared in front of Ryder.

[Grandma w.a.n.g wants to teach you the skill 'Flame Blast.' Do you want to accept?]

[Yes] [No]

Ryder tapped 'Yes.'

[Skill Learned]

He checked the description of the skill.

[Name: Flame Blast

"Thank you, Grandma." He thanked the woman before he left.

"Finally, the preparation is complete." He muttered with a smile on his face.
