Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 298 - 294: New Update



"Hmm? Didn't you see my name in the Level Rankings?" Ryder asked in confusion. He was sure that there must be a roar outside about him leveling so fast. There's no way Shu wouldn't have seen his novel.

"Hmm? Did you not know about the new update in the world of Divinity?" Shu asked Ryder in confusion.

"New update? What do you mean? Did they already introduce the conversion of real money into game money?" Ryder inquired.

"No, I'm talking about the update changing the ranking structure?" Shu asked Ryder.

"What change?" Ryder asked, still not understanding. He wondered what was happening in divinity that he wasn't aware of.

" For some reason, they changed the entire Ranking structure. When you see the level ranking, you only see the tank of players, not their levels. We can only see that you're rank one, but we can't see your level. It's the same for treasure and fame ones ranking too. You can't see the number of Treasures one possesses in the rankings. All you see are the ranks," Shu told Ryder.

"Hmm? That's weird," Ryder muttered as he frowned.

'There was nothing like that last time. I can't see any changes this time except the fact that I'm at the top in ranking in this timeline and the power gap is almost impossible for others to catch up. Is that why the future changed? Did they do it to calm down the cheating allegations from my unbelievable looking level? It seems that way,'

' They don't want anyone to see my level that easily, but they didn't just make my level invisible from the rankings, so they made everyone's level disappear from the ranking. That's some clever play, I must say, but it'll only increase confusion amongst the players who wouldn't know how much they need to level up to rise in ranking. I'm sure they must be getting a lot of complaints about this change, but on the other hand, these complaints are better than the complaints of cheating,' Ryder thought.

" I'm still confused as to why they just don't ban me. Even though I did nothing wrong in the game, they can still do it instead of taking such a long way to calm things down," he muttered in an inaudible tone.

"So, what's your level?" Shu asked Ryder.

"I'm level 110," Ryder told Shu casually. He didn't feel the need to hide his level from Shu. Shu had proven to be quite trustworthy. Even though he couldn't be entirely honest with him for some reasons, he could still tell him at least his level.

Shu heard Ryder's words and just looked at him blankly.

" That was funny. Now tell me your real level," Shu shook his head as he asked again.

" I'm not lying. I'm really level 110. I found a unique quest related to my class, which gave me a bunch of experience points in completion. Even I'm surprised at the experience I got," Ryder said, shaking his head.

"Hah, brother. Tell me where you found her. Be honest," Shu suddenly asked Ryder.

"Found who? Who are you talking about?" Ryder asked in confusion.

"Her! The goddess of luck that's getting you such overpowered quests. Bro, you're a god, aren't you? The game hasn't been released for a long time, yet you're already a level 110 player," Shu replied with an incredulous look on his face.

"Ah, that's what you're talking about. I guess I was indeed a little lucky with this quest," Ryder answered as he smiled wryly.

"Man, you're really lucky that the developers hid the levels of people. Otherwise, you'll be getting so many haters. I know you and know that you have no relation to Divinity Developers, and you can't cheat, but others were already calling you an illegal child of Divinity Bosses. If they knew you rose so much since the levels became invisible, they'd have rioted," Shu told Ryder as he sighed.

"Yeah, that was lucky as well," Ryder replied.

"Man, I don't even know if I would be able to do anything in our question together. You'll kill all the enemies in one hit. You're like the One-hit Man of the tv show," Shu said as he laughed lightly.

"As I said, it'll be a fun adventure. Don't worry about me. I'll control my strength, and I'll make sure that nothing goes wrong," Ryder replied.

"Hah, It's good too. When we start our guild, and you become our guild leader, we would have no trouble from other guilds at all," Shu said.

Alice heard about the guild and got even more interested.

'If I ten him that I started playing as well, he might get angry. If I join the guild, I can get close to him in the game. It would be so fun,' She thought.

"Ah, Brother Shu. you guys are starting a guild?" She asked Shu.

" Yeah, soon there would be a guild belonging to us," Shu said as he glanced at Ryder. "A guild in a fully immersive world."

" That's great. What would you name that guild?" She asked again.

If she had a name, she could easily distinguish if at that time there were two or more guilds.

" Ah, right. Brother Ryder. What name are we going to give it? What do you want your guild to be named?" Shu asked Ryder.

"You found the guild establishment token, so it's your guild that I'll be managing as the Guild Master. You should come up with a name," Ryder threw the ball back in Shu's court.

"Nope. I'm not choosing one. You're going to be the one registering the name as it's guild leader, so you choose it. I'm bad at naming things anyway. I don't think I have named any single thing correctly except my username that I use in every game," Shu told Ryder.

"BigDaddy?" Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly.

"Fine. I'll choose a name," Ryder said as he agreed.

" Yeah, think of a nice name," Alice also chimed in excitedly.

"The Guild will be named..." Ryder muttered as he fell into a deep thought.

As he was thinking, a voice echoed in his mind. It felt like some strange voice from his past echoing in his head.

"You can never get salvation. You'll have Eternal Damnation in hell..." the Voice said.

It felt as if a weird Deja Wu as Ryder heard the voice. He looked back, wondering if someone said this near him.

There was no one around him.

"Did something happen?" Shu asked Ryder. 

"Ah, nothing. I just felt like someone said something. Anyway, the name of our guild will be... Eternal Salvation," He finally said after thinking for a while.
