Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 22: We want equality

"Hahaha... A girlfriend? You must be kidding me. Have you seen me? Do you really think that I can have a girlfriend? I’m a gamer, and my games are my girlfriends. No real girls allowed." Shu started laughing loudly as he heard his question.

’I can’t blame him. I myself never had a girlfriend, so I can sympathize.’ Ryder gazed at Shu with sympathy.

There was only one thing that he couldn’t understand. The guy didn’t have a girlfriend, and there was no girl here. Which girl should he protect him from?

’Is this a trick mission? Is this Janus’ scam to take away my hard-earned origin points?’ He thought.

It looked like Janus heard his thoughts as it finally decided to reply to him.

[The system isn’t a scammer! All the missions are valid, and reward and punishment are decided based on the difficulty.]

"Yea, right. Sorry for doubting you. Hey, wait a minute. Why should I be sorry? You’re the one who is giving such strange missions." He let out casually. He felt like he had hurt Janus’ feelings.

Time kept passing slowly, and it was already 3 pm. Only one hour was remaining for the sale to officially begin.

The line that only had 50 people in the morning now had close to a thousand people waiting to get the game.

Even the cops were present at the place to maintain the order.

Another hour passed, and finally, the sale had begun. He was at the 41st number in the line now, which kept shortening as the people ahead of him kept getting Divinity VR glasses and leaving. In about 20 minutes, he was 3rd in the line.

It was at that moment that a girl came towards them. Well, It would be more appropriate to say that she came towards Shu, who was the second in line.

The girl was quite beautiful with a round face and a curvy figure. Although her breasts were small, her perky butt made up for it.

"Ah... sir, I apologize for intruding, but I am a little late. Can you please allow me to stand in front of you in the line so that I could hurriedly leave? I need to go to an important meeting." The girl told Shu in a gentle tone.

’Ah, Now I get it. This girl was the one Janus was talking about. It’s quite stupid now that I think about it. However, I must say that this task is quite simple. It’s like a free reward. Thanks, Janus, maybe you’re not so bad after all.’ Ryder let out with a smile as he looked towards the girl. He had forgotten that Janus had given him a mission that could cause his death.

"Ahh..." Shu was clearly struggling to answer. He really wanted to get the Divinity VR glasses as soon as possible, but he didn’t have it in himself to deny a beautiful girl.

"Sorry, Miss, but there’s no space for you here. Why don’t you go stand at the back of the line and wait for your turn?" Ryder tried to sound like a badass as he said to the girl.

"You... I’m not talking to you! Stay silent and don’t interfere." She said to Ryder with an attitude.

"Hey little girl, I’m trying to act like a good guy, don’t think you can talk to me like that. He’s a brother of mine, and of course, I can interfere in his matters! Who the hell do you think you are to come at the front of the line without making any effort!"

"All of us have been standing in the line for hours and finally got here, and you... you just came and want to take advantage of my brother. Do you really think that you are too beautiful? Get the hell out of here before I complain about your behavior to the cops." He said as his tone kept getting louder and louder, the more he talked.

Even some people behind him started supporting him and voicing their opinions.

"Does she really think that she can take advantage of us gamers because she’s a girl? We want equality! Gamers have rights as well! We have feelings too! I’ll start a movement for us gamers to stop such harassment against us. We deserve rights, as well." A person behind him started saying out loud.

’What the hell is he talking about? A movement to stop harassment of us gamers? Some people get too serious.’ Ryder had a wry smile on his face as he heard the chant of ’we want equality.’

’ Isn’t it too overboard?’ ’ He thought.

"You! Very well!!! Do you even know who I am? You don’t know who you have messed with! Don’t you dare run."The girl said as she fumed with anger. She turned back as she left.

"Oh man, Was she someone with a high position? Janus, you bastard! I praised you for nothing! 5 origin points for taking care of the girl and the trouble that follows after! You’re too cheap!’ He cursed in his mind.
