Godfather's System 55

I stood still for a moment as the camp burst into action, trying to decide what to focus on first. I was spoiled for choice. There was the young, panicking noble and his injured knight, the rest of...

Godfather's System 54

“So, the wards are finally in place,” I said as I looked at the tent that was covered with silver runes, one that took a small fortune to handle. Luckily, I had already gathered a bigger fortun...

Godfather's System 53 (Interlude, Zolast)

Zolast didn’t remember the last time he felt this conflicted…

No, that was a bald-faced lie. No, he still remembered his greatest conflict, when he had learned the truth about the System ...

Godfather's System 52

When I arrived at the line of separation, I temporarily shelved the mysterious objectives of the Greens. It didn’t feel comfortable, but life had taught me that trying to handle problems before u...

Godfather's System 51

As we walked back to the camp, we stopped by Jertann and Terma. “Are you feeling fine already, old man?” Terma shouted the moment he noticed our approach, his excitement booming.

Godfather's System 50

Zolast’s first response to my declaration was a long, lingering sigh. “You’re asking very difficult questions. The kind that will get very dangerous if they spread.” 

“Don’t ...

Godfather's System 49

Killing more beasts away from the camp had a certain amount of temptation, but a literal earthquake and volcanic burst in response to my leveling showed that it was not a sustainable path.  2023-04-11 17:01:45 +0000 UTC View Post

Godfather's System 48

The rest of the day had passed without anything of note ... though it was fascinating just how easily I started referred another half a day filled with killing dangerous monsters hungry for human b...

Godfather's System 47

“Can’t we rest for just five minutes,” Jertann gasped as he run behind me as we rushed forward to cut the path of another beast before they could meet with the second line. 

For th...

Godfather's System 46

I decided to make my first showing for the Greens, though that was less about my existing impression of the Blacks, but the appearance of a large beast rushing forward, toward the border between Gr...

Godfather's System 45

As I walked back with two beasts in tow, I expected two things. First, I expected to meet with the caravan midway as the first carts started to move, hurrying up to catch up with the others. Second...

Godfather's System 44

“Stay with Zolast,” I warned Jertann and the rest as we reached the edge of the camp. “The smell of the food will gather a crowd, and I don’t want my food to be spoiled, understood?” I sa...

Godfather's System 43

Going back to the camp after discarding my disguise was an easy affair, though I still made sure to keep my sword in a way that didn’t grab a lot of attention. A magical sword was precious. Exact...

Godfather's System 42

I took the challenge of dressing fast seriously. The river monster let out a shout of rage as it stayed on the surface, which, luckily, didn’t last enough to steal the attention of the camp, whic...

Godfather's System 41

Five minutes. 

I just needed to stay under water for five minutes to reach the little corner of hidden items I had prepared. Simple, very simple, I thought even as I dodged another tenta...

Godfather's System 40

I was thinking about the best way to level up even after I lay on a thick mat — in my new tent, courtesy of Jertann.

The return had been smooth, and I was tempted to lie down and enjoy a lo...

Godfather's System 39

The distance between the nearest inner camp and our camp was a bit more than two miles — which meant that it was about three elatriss in their measurements. More importantly, the walk was the onl...

Godfather's System 38

Cheating against a bunch of amateurs was going to be easy, I decided even as I watched the current dealer use the palm swish once again for the next bet, replacing weighed dice with normal dice for...

Godfather's System 37

With the disappearance of the sun came the time to camp once more, as most people lacked the necessary perception to kill the beasts in the dark. They still attacked, of course, but the lack of mov...

Godfather's System 36

As I walked to join my little group, I observed the changes that happened in my short absence. Some things, like their position, were the same. They were still at the border between the Blacks and ...

Godfather's System 35

The move back to the red camp was without issue. I moved, with Zolast following me. He didn’t seem to be in the mood to speak, and I didn’t prompt him, letting him process his impromptu recruit...

Godfather's System 34

I was prepared to act when I noticed the change in Zolast. 

He had been already holding his knife when the overenthusiastic thugs approached his cart, but it had been a harmless gesture,...

Godfather's System 33

I didn’t do much for a while as I walked around the camp. I just walked around while taking deep breaths, trying to control that sudden flare of anger. 

I didn’t question the anger. ...

Godfather's System 32

Jertann was the first to speak as I walked away. “W-where are you going?” he stammered as he followed me, easily catching up to me with his large steps even with his initial freeze, shocked not...

Godfather's System 31

Jertann was a good fighter, and from everything I had seen, a good brother and a friend as well. 

But observant, he was not, as evidenced by the way he walked forward toward the beast th...

Godfather's System 30

I was quick to realize that, moving as a part of a huge group had its own challenges. Speed was one. Alone, using the river as a highway, I was able to rival a car, and even without cheating, I was...

Godfather's System 29

I had to admit, fighting as a part of the group was different than fighting alone despite some disadvantages, like more monsters targeting the larger group. That was a disadvantage, but not a huge ...

Godfather's System 28

“So, what’s next,” I asked even as I glanced at the camp of the Reds. The first thing I noticed was a number of wagons, several people loading boxes, while others were gathering some large, p...

Godfather's System 27

We didn’t talk much for the rest of the way. After finished bragging about his martial potential, he fell silent, mulling on my offer. And, I was lost in my thoughts, wondering whether the mentio...
