Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 70: The Thing that shouldn't exist

As Ryder’s Scythe sliced off the stomach of the Spirit Wolf, along with the blood, something else came out.

As Ryder killed the Spirit Wolf and turned back, his eyes fell on the item.

[+13000 Exp]

[Special Effect of Moon Scythe Activated: Absorption]

[+10 Speed]

He ignored the notification as he walked up to that place and picked up that item, which looked like a bracelet.

He picked up the bracelet covered in blood and cleaned it with clothes that he had inside his storage space.

As the bracelet was wiped clean, Ryder was able to see that the bracelet had a silver color that looked just like the shining moon.

There were some ancient-looking characters carved all around the bracelet. All these characters had a different color, but there was something about them that gave Ryder an extraordinary feeling.

As he was observing the bracelet, a notification had stealthily popped up on the edge of his vision.

After quite some time, he noticed the notification. He tapped on the notification and started reading what it said.

[Bracelet of Immortality found. Would you like to equip?]

He tapped on details to get further information, but what he saw shocked him to his core.

[Bracelet of Immortality

Artifact Grade: God Grade

Description: Description Locked. Equip the item to unlock the description]

Although Ryder couldn’t get the description, just the bracelet’s grade was enough to make him open his mouth in shock.

A God Grade Treasure was the highest level of treasure a person could get. Each of those treasures was enough to change the lives of the player and the world of divinity.

Without having a second thought, Ryder hurriedly equipped the Bracelet of Immortality.

[Bracelet of Immortality Equipped]

He clicked on the details of the treasure to check the details now that he had equipped it, but what he saw was enough to make him fall down to his knees in shock.

[Name: Bracelet of Immortality

Artifact Grade: God Grade

Description: A destructive treasure that is said to have been forged by the Devil God in the hopes of destroying the heavens. Many of the gods sacrificed themselves in the Great war of Immortality before taking the treasure from the Devil God before he could use it.

Because of the evil nature of the treasure, its powers have been sealed.

Advantages: Locked

Limitations: Since it’s a sealed item that goes against the heavens, the wearer shall be cursed by the heavens. The bracelet can’t be taken off. You can’t enter places of Worship. When the wearer dies, his soul shall be destroyed, unable to reincarnate for eternity]

Ryder could feel a headache coming. He had literally worn a cursed item. The item that had previously been giving him epic vibes now looked like the devil reincarnate that had appeared in his life to destroy everything.

He tried getting the bracelet off his hand but to no avail. The bracelet didn’t come off.

[Congrats on getting the Bracelet of Immortality. I should’ve expected that it would get to you somehow,]

Just when Ryder was about to cry, Janus said to him.

"What congrats! I’ve literally received a useless item! Now every player that can see the Treasure Ranking will know that I have a God Grade item! They will come after me to get it from me, and it’s not like I’ll drop this item! This is fucking stuck to me for life! I’d be chased forever by the greedy players. And what do I get in return? Nothing!" Ryder wanted to cry, but no tears came out of his eyes.

After sulking for over half an hour, he finally stood up.

"At Least it’s something only in-game. If I had been cursed in real life, I wouldn’t know what to do," Ryder said as he tried to look at the positive side of things.

[Ah, do you want to hear bad news?] Janus inquired.

"Hah, are you being considerate? Tell me. What can be worse than the day I’m having," Ryder said, smiling.

[Forget it. You will know soon enough,] Janus said before he went silent.

"Hey, tell me! What were you talking about!" Ryder asked, but Janus didn’t reply.

Ryder ultimately gave up, thinking that Janus was just messing with him. He was already having a headache and didn’t feel like hunting anymore.

He remembered that he had seen a lake along the way. He decided to go there and take a long bath in order to calm his mind, which was in chaos at the moment.

He walked towards the south for over 10 minutes before he reached the lake.

He took his clothes off and kept them in his storage space. He was completely bare as he jumped into the lake.

He began swimming in the long lake while trying to forget the bracelet’s existence in his hand.

He swam for over 20 minutes before being able to improve his mood. The water was just the right temperature in this weather. He could feel the pain in his body go away as well.

After feeling better, he swam towards the shore, and just when he was 20 meters away from the ground, he noticed a person.

It looked like a girl that was dressed in a warrior-like dress. She looked like she was only in her early 20s. She had Dark Blue Hair and light grey eyes that looked strangely good. Her perfectly oval shape, her thin lips, her beautiful eyes, and her devilish figure, they all made her attractive to look at, but Ryder wasn’t thinking about that at the moment.

He was more concerned as to how a girl like her was able to enter this forest. This forest was the personal hunting ground of a Duke of the Demon Realm. Bulga was also standing outside; he would have seen if someone had entered. This whole thing was so confusing.

The girl was walking towards the lake, but she wasn’t focusing ahead; instead, she was looking down as if she was looking for something.

"Where the heck is that thing? The energy signature has disappeared as well?" She muttered as she looked here and there.

"Hmm? A person is here?" The woman saw Ryder in the water and exclaimed with a frown on her face.
