Divinity: Against The Godly System

'If I'm not wrong, the Dungeon should be in the Tiara Kingdom. That dungeon is a low-level dungeon in difficulty, and a team of level 40+ players can clear it after putting in some effort. Fortunately, that dungeon isn't going to be discovered for a long time. It's at the bottom of the Dark Valley and just getting there alone is difficult for normal players at this time,'

'In the previous timeline, that Dungeon was discovered by a member of a low-level guild after approximately three years from today. It was the same year I died. While the main players of our guild were focusing on higher-level dungeons, we sent our low-level team to this dungeon. They and many other teams went to clear that Dungeon and to take the treasures,'

'Even though I was amongst the top 10 players of my guild, the strength difference between each rank was too big. The guild master was much stronger than me. This was to be expected, though. I was not that big on strength at that time. I was better than most, but not the real peak player. I was just one of the top players of the third rank guild. If I were to look at the overall and counted the first tank and the second rank guild which was filled with real powerhouses, my strength wouldn't even put me in top thirty at that time,'

' Even though a lot of teams went there to clear the high-level dungeon with our guild, it was ultimately cleared by the mysterious Darkness. Even though Darkness cleared the high-level Dungeon, there was someone else that got the most popularity. It was the simultaneous Low-Level Dungeon Raid where a mysterious item had appeared. It was an unknown thief that had managed to take the final treasure from that dungeon. No one knew what that artifact was, but after some time, it was discovered that it was a disguise artifact and a super rare item that could even keep itself hidden from the treasure ranking list,'

'Last time, that thief went and took that artifact, but this time, it will be me. I have traveled back in time, and I won't let the treasures get out of my hands. This will be a timeline where I won't be a good player. This will be a timeline where I will be the God Player,' Ryder thought.

They stepped out of the fires and saw a small village nearby. The village seemed to have only a few houses.

Ryder and Rale entered the village.

They saw only a few people in the open. One of the people outside was an old man who was standing near a well.

Ryder walked closer to the old man. The old man was pulling out a bucket of water from the well.

" Old Man, Can you tell me the name of this village and the kingdom we are in at the moment?" Ryder asked the old man.

The Old man placed the bucket of water on the ground before he looked at Ryder with an annoyed look on his face.

"Are you an idiot? I can understand that you might not know the name of the village since it's possible that you are a traveler, but you don't even know that you're in the Tiara Kingdom?" The Old Man grumbled as he glared at Ryder.

"Tiara Kingdom? Are we really that lucky to get to our destination so fast?" Ryder let out as he smiled.

"Sorry, Old Man. We have been traveling for a long time, and some thieves stole our belongings, including our map. We just wanted to be sure if we were in our Kingdom or a different kingdom after walking for so long," Ryder answered.

The Old Man nodded his head as he smiled.

"That makes sense, I guess. You are in Shenxu Village right now," the old man replied.

"Oh, We are on the other side of the kingdom. We'll still have to travel for a few hours, I guess," Ryder muttered as he nodded his head.

"Thanks, old man. Can you also tell us the direction of the Windsor City as well? We are trying to get there," He added.

"Windsor City? You're quite far away from the Windsor City. It's in that direction, but you it is on the other end of the kingdom. It would take you days if you were to walk there. I'm going to the nearby city to get some supplies from the village soon. If you want, you can come with me. You might be able to find a carriage to take you to the Windsor City in the nearby city. What do you say?" The Old Man asked.

<The Old Man offered to escort you to the city>

<Will You accept?>

<Y/N>

Ryder tapped no as he shook his head.

"Thanks for the offer, old man, but we would prefer to walk there," He said as he started walking towards the North.

Soon, Ryder left the village.

<You have rejected the kind offer of the Village Head>

<Affinity with the people of the kingdom decreased by ten percent>

"Sigh, what is this happening. That old man made me lose my affinity with the people of this kingdom. That's stupid. Whatever, it's not like I need the affinity anyways," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.

He started flying towards the North. Ryder flew for just a little over an hour before he felt like he reached his limit. After that, he had Rale carry him since he couldn't fly at all during the day now. Rale took Ryder throughout the journey.

Soon, Rale reached Windsor City. It was the city that was on the northernmost end of the Kingdom, and it was also the capital because it was the city that was the farthest from any other neighboring kingdom. On the North of this City was the Dark Cliff, and on the other three sides were the vast land of the kingdom.

The Kingdom was ruled by the Royal Windsor Family. The Windsor Family was said to be the Family that doted on the Adventures the most. They respected the Adventures and treated them fairly well. In Fact, in the previous timeline, It was said that a player had managed to make the Windsor Princess fall in love with them.

The player was the Vice Guild Leader of the Second Rank Guild. He had the support of the princess, which helped them establish the proper foothold of their guild inside the Windsor Kingdom.

Ryder knew that if he needed, he could make the Princess fall for him this time, and that was his plan, but he didn't bother about it at the moment. He had more important things to worry about. He left that matter for later after he got the mask.

He had already promised Shu that he would be the Guild Master of Shu's Guild and give the position for the Vice Guild Master to Shu. Since he was already going to establish a guild, it was better to take out a page from the book of the Second Rank Guild of the last timeline and use the Princess to form connections.

Ryder and Rale landed in the capital city of the Tiara Kingdom, which was called the Windsor City.

As he landed in the Kingdom, he saw a few players that were roaming on the streets. Ryder also walked on the streets with Rale as he looked around the marketplace to see why there were so many adventures here. So many Players shouldn't be here at once. There must be a reason for them being here.

Ryder was walking on the streets when he noticed a small shop that was selling beautifully crafted masks.

He went to the stall and picked up a mask.

"How much is this mask worth?" Ryder asked the stall owner.

The Stall Owner showed Ryder three fingers.

"Three Gold Coins?" Ryder asked as he frowned.

"Three Bronze Coins," The Stall Owner replied.

" Oh, That's good. Give me three of them," Ryder said as he gave a silver coin to the stall owner and picked up three masks which he kept in his storage. "Keep the rest."

"Thanks, Young man," The Man smiled as he nodded his head.

"Can I ask you something? I am new to the city, and I can't help but wonder why there are so many adventures here. Did something happen?" He asked the Stall Owner.

"Oh, I heard that there is a dungeon nearby. All the adventures are here because they want to clear that Dungeon. At least, that's what the word on the street is," the Stall Owner said.

"Oh, The Dungeon, huh," Ryder muttered as he placed his hand on the chin.

'This doesn't make sense. There is only one dungeon in this city. The Dungeon of Dark Cliff. Did they really discover that? This shouldn't be possible. This happened three years later in the last timeline.'
