God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 22: Norn's Death



Two hours later.

There was still a lot of food on the table, but Keith, Brandon and Edward were done. They'd eaten so much that they didn't really feel like moving.

Clara, even though she was usually silent, spoke up, "Keith, you're so thin but you ate so much... just how?"

"Well... I usually only ate bread and drank some soup or water. Sooo... I just ate and now the only thing I wish to do is sleep." he said as he patted his bulging belly.

It wasn't that the food was tasty. Compared to the stuff he ate in his previous life, this was categorised as flavourless one out of ten food. The only reason he stuffed himself was because of the meat and all the nutritious food on the table. Even though it wasn't tasty, as long as it helped him boost his physique, then he would force himself to eat it.

"Ugh..." Brandon let out a grunt as he got up from his chair, "Keith and Amelia, go and get some rest until evening. You two will be on the night shift, oh and Amelia, take this kid to the church's practice range and teach him how to use a revolver."

Amelia looked surprised when he heard Brandon's words and so did the other two in the team. All of them shifted their attention to Keith who lazily put his hand inside his trench coat before pulling out his revolver.

"Oh wow..." Clara commented while the other two nodded in response. Brandon on the other hand, didn't stop, "Fun fact guys, this guy is the brother in law of Adam Brown."

"Ah that guy..." Amelia said as she gave Keith a pitiful look while shaking her head, "Anyways, let's go lazybones. I'll teach you how to use this weapon and in return, you must pay me in bullets. I charge 5 bullets per day!"

Seeing her change the topic cheerfully, Keith nodded as he planned to ask her more about Adam later on. He got up from his chair and let out a grunt before walking out of the room with Amelia following right behind him.

As they walked out of the house, he turned to look at her, "Hey, will it be fine if we take a walk? I feel like if I sit down one more time, I won't be able to get back up."

"Sure." she readily agreed as she slowed down her pace to match Keith's.

Seeing that she didn't plan on talking, he decided to deal with other special matters and imagined the soldier he had last night. The moment he did, a translucent screen popped up in front of him.

'Hmm... there's no need for anything complicated right from the start.' he thought as he made up a simple quest and sent it to Sahoy who was the user of the system.

[Quest Delivered]

[Quest Details: Have sex with three women in a week. For each extra woman you sleep with after reaching 3, you'll get an additional reward of 5 braks. If you reach 10 under the time limit, you'll receive an extra Zen on top of 5 braks.]

It was pretty pricey, but to Keith, it was a small price to pay if he could get Sahoy to hit the limits of the system. As for whether the guy would be able to do it in under a week or not, was a different matter altogether.

As he closed the system screens that were in front of him, a new one popped up with a warning message.

[Failure in delivering the promised rewards will result in the return of the tax you've taken from the user.]

'....' he silently stared at it for a few seconds before closing it, 'Well, not like I ever planned on scamming people.'

As the two of them walked, Amelia finally spoke up.

"You... I mean, do you respect your brother in law?"

"Hm? Well... I didn't really interact with him a lot but so far he's been a great help. Is there something wrong?" he asked, trying to probe her for information.

Unfortunately for him, she just shook her head, "Not really. Anyways, you should expect a lot of clients knocking on our doorsteps from now on."

"Is there a reason for that? Don't tell me that some kind of mysterious political war is brewing up in our Auberg district."

"No no, nothing like that happens here. In fact, it's the exact opposite. We don't have many noble families here, and even the Empire's squadron of soldiers that reside here are among the worst of the worst.

Due to this, there have been gang wars for the past four decades but now, there's only two left. There is news that yesterday night, the leader of one of the two gangs was poisoned and killed.

Apparently, his people took him to the church of medicine, but they were unable to bring a dead man back to life. Once his death was confirmed, his younger brother took over as the leader and this one is a psychotic man.

He's done a lot of evil deeds and unlike his brother who cared for his people, this guy only cares about usurping the Auberg district and gaining full control. If it gets to this stage, then the churches will have to step in. Which means that we must do it too."

"I really hope that something like this doesn't happen." he said, but on the inside, his thoughts were churning as he connected the dots.

When Norn died, Keith didn't exactly get a notification about the accomplishment of revenge as the gang's leader hadn't died yet. On the other hand, if he was poisoned, then the scenario made more sense but it still didn't make much sense to him as he felt like there was some inconsistency in the poisoning story.

'If the gang leader was actually poisoned and didn't die before Norn's death, then there was no way I'd be able to feel the increase in potency of my system gacha wheel. And if he died before Norn, then I should have gotten the notification of the Revenge being successful.' he thought as a crease formed on his forehead.

'That only leaves one possibility. The gang leader must have died the same exact moment that Norn did, but this is just- the probability is extremely low unless....'
