Divinity: Against the Godly System-Chapter 11: Target selected

He looked to the other side and saw his previous guildmates sitting on the chairs. They were cheering for him. Max Lee was there as well.

He wanted to go kill Max and Maya, but he realized that he was in a dream and that wouldn't change anything.

"Ahh. Can I ask you something?" Alice suddenly said to him as she glanced at him with a curious look on her face.

"Yes, You can ask me anything! Speak your heart's desires," Ryder said to Alice.

Alice opened her cherry blossom lips and said something that he least expected.

"How long do you plan to sleep? Food is ready."

"Huh?"

Ryder was stunned. He couldn't understand what was happening in his beautiful dream. Was he hungry and subconsciously manipulating this dream?

"Hey! How long are you going to sleep! Dinner is ready!" She said again.

The dream suddenly broke as Ryder opened his eyes only to find Alice standing in front of him.

"The food is on the table. Go eat yourself." She said before she left the room.

"Sigh, what a weird dream," Ryder sighed as he stood up.

"Well, Since she made me dinner, I might as well go and eat it. I'm quite hungry anyways. It has been a long time since I last ate the food made by her," He said as he reminisced about her food in the previous timeline.

Alice had left for China for her higher studies after completing the University in the previous timeline. So in reality, it had been around 2 years since he ate the food made by her.

He left the room and walked towards the dining room.

After he finished eating the food, he sat on the chair and began thinking about what to do next.

'The day will be over soon and I would only have one day to kill a person. I'll do it tonight. I can't leave this for the last moment. It's about her life after all!'

He stood up and left the house without informing Alice.

The city streets were almost empty, and only a few cars could be seen coming and going.

He walked for a long time before he finally saw a person. It was an old woman that looked like she was coming from shopping.

Ryder gazed at her for a brief moment before he shook his head.

'I can't kill an old lady! Fuck, I can't even kill an animal, let alone a human! I don't even know what I'm trying to do ' He thought as he kept walking.

After some time, he finally came up with a plan.

"Since I have no choice, I would use this opportunity for the good of the world. I'd clean the streets of the criminals," He made up his mind as he walked towards a certain direction.

There was a place in the city known as Bucky's Club. It was a bar that was located on the 67th street of the Northern part of the city. The bar was mostly used by gangsters and criminals.

It was said that the Mafia ran the bar, but the police didn't care for it.

He had decided to search for his prey at that location.

Normally he wouldn't even think about going to a place like that, let alone actually go there to kill a criminal, but after eating 2 strengthening pills and increasing his strength by 125%, he felt like he could take care of himself.

He even learned the Lower Martial arts Technique from the system's store. Unless the person straight away started shooting, he felt like he could succeed.

" I have to succeed. Not for myself, but for Alice," He muttered with a determined look on his face.

Although he was acting confident, there was still some hesitation in his heart along with some anxiousness.

The 67th street was neither too close to his house nor too far. It took him around an hour of walking to get there.

As soon as he stepped on the street, he was able to see the bar. Three bulky people were standing outside the bar talking to each other.

"Alright, how should I handle it?" He wondered as he stood on the 67th street.

He was about to take a step forward and walk towards the bar when he suddenly heard the scream of a woman. It came from the opposite side.

He hurriedly turned back and ran in the direction that scream came from.

"Please don't do it! Let me go, I beg you!" Came the voice of a woman again.
