Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 57: Going for hunt

Miyali's mouth opened wide as she realized that Ryder was on top of her.

Before she could say anything, Ryder hurriedly got off her and created some distance between them.

"Before you misunderstand anything, just hear me out. When I woke up, you were on top of me. I rolled over to get you off me without waking you up. That's when you woke up. So please don't doubt my innocent intentions,"

Just as she was thinking of words to speak, Ryder explained everything as best as he could.

Miyali closed her mouth, but she still looked at Ryder with a doubtful look.

"Really?"

After 5 or so minutes, she finally opened her lips and asked in a soft tone.

"Of Course. Why would I do such a thing to you? I'm a perfectly decent man," Ryder insisted.

"You can go back to sleep," He told her.

"Alright," Miyali mumbled as she closed her eyes.

Seeing that she was sleeping, Ryder opened the game window and saw the real world time in there.

The time in the game ran opposite to the time in the real world. When it was the day in the real world, it was night here, and when it was night here, it was day there.

The best thing was that the real world had become so advanced in terms of medicines that people didn't need to eat food every day. It was more of a delicacy type thing now.

The medicine field was so advanced that the world had managed to develop the Productive Pills.

If a person ate one of those pills, he could go for a day without eating anything. Similarly, if he ate 10 of such pills, they could stay without food for 10 days.

The best thing was that their body wasn't harmed in any way. It was all organic and healthy.

Since Ryder got the news that Lucifer had caught up to him, he became more competitive.

He ate ten of such pills since he was intending to stay inside for 10 days without going out and go on a hunting spree to increase his XP and level.

Unfortunately, things didn't go his way, and he was thrown into the Demon Realm.

He didn't want to give up his plan, though. He had already sworn to himself that he wouldn't leave Divinity before 10 days, and it was just him fulfilling that promise to himself.

Still, he didn't wish to be non-productive. He wanted to go hunt and increase his level.

He left the door as he stepped into the hallway. There was not a single person here that he could see.

He continued walking through the palace in search of a path to leave. If there had been any problem, he also had the Talisman that could help him contact Devilia.

He was quite surprised that a place like this had no guards. He had walked up to the door without any problems.

As he pushed the main door towards the outside, the door opened.

As soon as he went outside the door, he saw the guards. There were indeed guards outside.

"Young Master!" The guards saluted Ryder as they got down to the knees.

"Young Master? Do you guys know about me?" Ryder asked in surprise.

"Greetings, Young Master. I'm the chief of the security of this palace. My name is Bulga. And yes, we were all told about you," A bulky demon stood up as he stepped towards Ryder.

The Demon was around 10 ft. tall. His biceps alone were the size of Ryder's waist. There were 2 sharp devil horns protruding from his forehead.

"Oh, It's good that you have been told about me. Anyways, is there a place here where I can hunt?" Ryder asked.

"Of Course. We have our own hunting forest that belongs to the Duke. You can find quite a lot of weak monsters there," The Chief Guard Demon Bulga said.

"Hmm? How weak are you talking about?" Ryder asked just to be sure.

Bulga heard the question and fell into deep thought as to how he could describe it. He started looking towards his men.

"Ahmm? Oh Right. He's our weakest member. The strongest monster in that forest is only as strong as him. So you can see how weak they are," He said as he pointed towards a member that was the shortest amongst them.

Despite being the shortest person amongst them, the demon was still 7 feet tall.

Ryder used his [All-Seer] on that demon, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Although he was the weakest guard amongst them, Ryder still wasn't able to see his level or stats. He could understand how strong that guy must be.

"I need monsters that are as strong as your 5-year-old kids," Ryder said without feeling ashamed one bit.

"Hmm? Do you mean the newborn monsters? But Young Master, those monsters are too weak," Bulga replied in uncertainty.

"I just want to see the strength of newborn monsters in this place," Ryder said.

"Oh? Alright. There is indeed a section of the forest where the weakest beasts stay," Bulga said after thinking for a while.

"Oh? Good. Take me to them," Ryder said.

Bulga nodded his head. He informed the other guards to properly take care of the palace in his absence and to contact him if there was a problem.

He whistled loudly, and a big flying beast came down and landed in front of him.

"It's my tamed beast. It will carry us to the forest," Bulga said as he climbed on top of the big beast.

The beast looked similar to an eagle on Earth, but it was many times larger. It was so large that it could easily carry 3 people like Bulga on its back.

Ryder also climbed on top of the beast, and the beast started flying.

Although the Beast was fast, Ryder could feel that it was many times slower than Duke Devilia when she was flying.

The beast flew above the well-lit city, and after around half an hour, it slowed down.
