Divinity: Against the Godly System

Ryder left the Royal City of the death domain after finishing the work here. He had completed his task, and now he was free to go back as the new king of Death Domain. 

But first, he had to do something else. He wanted to get another fragment of the Bracelet of Immortality that he thought to be within his reach. 

Unfortunately, he didn't know that there was someone else who was also planning to go to Death Domain. 

...

In an unknown place, a woman in a beautiful robe was standing. The woman seemed somewhat similar to Alice but with some differences. 

She had a different eye color and a changed hairstyle. 

In her hand were two beautiful gloves. She also wore two beautiful bracelets in each of her hands. 

She seemed to be looking at a semi-transparent screen in front of her that seemed to be showing something.

"My stats were still pretty low from what I can understand," she muttered as she looked at the screen.

"Too bad I can't even see the ranking of the ones higher than me. Is he at the top? Where will he be? While he's having adventures, having fun, I'm stuck here in this quest," she muttered as she closed the screen before she gazed ahead at the giant army that was standing before her. 

"Your Highness, we are ready. Shall we depart for the Demon Realm?" The soldier asked Alice, who found herself in deep thought. 

She couldn't understand how she ended up here.

All she knew was that she had helped a lady. That lady called her back for a reward which gave her this special quest as well as this unique class. 

She also found herself in this place, in front of a massive army that calls her princess. 

"Your Highness, should we move?"

The Spirit General again asked. 

"Yeah."

....

Ryder left the Royal City of death domain and started walking towards his next destination. 

According to Rale's quest, the Moon Armor was here in the Death Domain. It was said to be the same grade of an artifact as the moon scythe, so it was indeed special.

But the more special thing was what Rale told him after that. Rale had said that the armor was pretty useless at first until one of the Demon Emperors used a special crystal on it. After the special crystal was embedded on it, that was when the miracle truly happened. 

From what Rale described, Ryder was sure that the crystal was none other than one of the fragments. 

To get to the crystal, he had to get to the moon Armor. After that, he could worry about retracting that crystal.

As he walked through the isolated forest, wondering how long before he could fly again, he opened the scroll. He already knew where the next city of his destination was. 

As he opened the scroll, he saw two beautiful cities in his path that were going to be between him and his destination. 

Once again, he decided to avoid the two cities as he formed his travel plan. His path included a lot of going forests and even a river. Fortunately, he knew that he wouldn't have to travel most of this journey on foot. 

He was sure that he would be allowed to fly soon enough.

As it was already time to log out, he kept the scroll back before he logged out of the game. 

...

The next day, Ryder once again logged in to continue his journey from where he left off. 

His travel continued for a long time and only stopped when he reached the destination. 

It was a small city that was not as lavish as the Royal City. It also didn't have the security, which could be compared to Death Domain's Royal City. 

Let alone compared to the Royal City; its security was even worse than the normal cities. 

Only one guard could be seen at the entrance of the city who didn't even stop a single person from entering. 

Ryder also had an easy time in entering, still disguised as Jiw from the Royal City.

Let alone stopping him; the guard didn't even ask him a single question as to where he came from or what his purpose was. 

With such an easy entry, Ryder didn't have to think of any excuse even though he did have a lot of things he could have said to get an entry.

This city is pretty backwater. Not many facilities here. Buildings seem to be broken and old here as well. 

'Whatever, I don't need to think of a reason. I can only try to find the Moon Armor. It's the lost treasure of the Demon Realm, so he was sure that no one was going to see it here. 

The previous Demon General would have hid it properly. So he wasn't in any hurry. 

According to the scroll, the Moon Armor was buried ten feet under the ground in the middle of the city. 

He was confused about how he could get it out. If it were in the middle of the city, then it would be a crowded place. He couldn't just start digging and get the Armor. It could even be possible that there was a building or a marketplace there. So he could only go there and see from his own eyes. 

Not long after he entered the city, he found himself at the center of the city. It wasn't a big city after all. Looking ahead, a wry smile remained on his face as he saw where the Moon Armor was buried. 

"A graveyard? That guy hid it inside a graveyard? Wtf?" Ryder exclaimed as he shook his head. 

Was this really a place to hide the treasure? Just what was that guy thinking. 

"At Least that makes it easier for me to get my hands on this thing," he thought as he shook his head. 

Pushing the door of the graveyard open, he stepped inside and started walking. 

The graveyard was at the center of the city. But finding the center of the graveyard was somewhat complicated since he couldn't see the top view of the graveyard. 

Yet, as he walked all around the graveyard, he gained a general idea as to what this place was and how its shape was. 

Using some assumption, he also guessed where the center might lie and started walking towards it. 

As he reached the center, he noticed a gravestone. 

"He couldn't have buried that thing under someone's grave. It must be either on the right of the grave or left," Ryder muttered as he started digging on the left first. 

Even after dragging for about twenty meters, he didn't find anything. 

Shifting to the right of the grave, he once again started digging, but the result was the same. 

One after another, he dug all around, only to fail. 

After some time, he sat down on top of the grave, tired. He had searched all around, but the Armor was nowhere to be found. Could it be that it was actually under the grave?

Frowning, Ryder stood up and started gazing at the grave. 

"Sorry, bro. It looks like you need to be disturbed a bit. I don't think you should blame me for this. Blame that old man that placed the Armor under you," Ryder muttered as he started digging before the tombstone.

As he kept digging with the help of moon scythe that had once again changed shape to help him dig better, he heard a metallic sound as if he had hit something. 

He started moving the soil to the side only to reveal a grave. 

"As expected, I disturbed the grave," Ryder muttered as he picked up the grave and moved it to the side. 

"Wait here. I'll get back to you after I finish finding the Armor. I'll place your back, he said before he turned back towards the pit and started digging. 

As he dug more and more, his frown deepened at the realization that it was a pretty useless endeavor. In his zeal, he had dug for over twenty meters again, but he didn't find the Armor. 

"What the heck? It's not here either?" he let out as he stopped digging and flew out of the put to land before the coffin. 

"Was I wrong about the center?" he wondered in confusion as he frowned. "I guess I was wrong."

He knew that if that was true, it was actually going to be somewhat tough to find the actual center. It was also going to take a lot of trial and error as well. He could already feel tired. 

As he was wondering where the center could be, the coffin behind him started opening slowly as a hand came out of it slowly.
