Divinity: Against the Godly System

Rale appeared before the Princess of the Tiara Kingdom right before everyone's eyes, but instead of holding onto her, he caught Ryuk's hand and threw Ryuk away.

Even though Rale threw Ryuk using a meager amount of power, only to get him off his trail as he took the princess, it worked against his expectation. Even though he didn't even use 1 percent of his power, his strength was still enough to destroy Ryuk, who was a low-level player. 

Ryuk smashed on the wall of the palace. The wall was broken as Ryuk flew out. He kept smashing into wall after wall as his HP kept falling like it was in a hurry to reach zero.

Ryuk's HP reached Zero as he disappeared. He was logged out of the game.

Ryuk woke up in the real world, still wondering what had just happened. He still couldn't understand how and what happened. All he knew was that a person appeared out of nowhere and threw him.

" Who was he? The king's person? No, the king talked to me so nicely, his men wouldn't attack me like that. Who was it then? An enemy of the King?" Ryuk wondered.

****

Rale realized that he had miscalculated, but he had no choice but to go forward with the plan. There was nothing that could do about what had already happened. All he could do was follow the plan.

He picked the princess up in his arms and ran outside the palace like the wind. The Princess wanted to scream, but Rale closed her mouth using his hands.

The guards that were there saw Rale leaving, but Rale was so fast that they lost his trail in less than a second.

Rale moved through the city like a shadow. He was told that he couldn't fly, so he could only run on the ground, and his high speed helped him leave without attracting attention.

Rale left the Royal City of Windsor.

****

Ryder was sitting before the forest, waiting for Rale to appear when he got a notification.

<Your subordinate had kidnapped a Royal Person>

<Charm: -10>

"It's just charm. It's no big deal. At Least it didn't increase my hostility with the people of the Tiara Kingdom. I'm sure my hostility would increase of I was near Rale when he kidnapped the Princess," Ryder muttered.

"At least I know that Rale has kidnapped the Princess now. He should be here soon," Ryder let out as he stood up.

****

As Rale left the Royal City, he released the mouth of the Princess.

"You! Who are you! Where are you taking me!" the Princess asked Rale with a scared look on her face.

"I'm kidnapping you so that I can ask for money from your father for your freedom!" Rale let out in a solemn tone. He tried to change his voice as he talked, which made his voice different from his real voice.

"If he doesn't pay me what I ask for, I'll kill you!" He added.

" Take me back! I promise that you'll get whatever you want! I'll tell father to give you what you want," The Princess told Rale, but Rale refused to budge from his position.

"I'm not freeing you. You can scream all you want. We are outside your city. No one will find you here," Rale said.

"Who is he?" Rale suddenly exclaimed in a shocked tone as if he saw something strange. He stopped in his footsteps.

The Princess wondered what made the kidnapper stop. She looked in the direction where Rale was looking at and saw a young man standing there with a sword in his hand.

"That girl in your arms. She looks scared. I don't think she's willing to come with you," Ryder said as he glared at Rale.

"Girl, are you in trouble? Tell me if you are," Ryder asked the Princess.

<Gained the title: Pretentious Bastard>

'You are a bastard! Your whole family is a bastard! Stop giving me these useless titles, Maya!' Ryder cursed in his mind, but he maintained his heroic expressions on his face.

"Brave Warrior, You are right! This person has kidnapped me! I'm the Princes..." The Princess was replying, but Rale closed her mouth again.

"She's my little sister. She ran away from home. I'm taking her back," Rale explained.

"You think I'm stupid?! I heard her words! You are an evil being that is an abomination in this world! How dare you commit such crimes like kidnapping the innocent?!" Ryder let out as he pointed his sword towards Rale. "Release the girl."

"I was expecting to end it peacefully and leave with the girl, but who knew you'd be so clever. You found out that I kidnapped her. I can only end you now," Rale declared as he put the girl down on the ground.

"If you move, I'll kill you!" He warned the Princess.

"Don't worry. I'll defeat him and free you from his grasp," Ryder comforted the girl.

"For that, you need to be alive!" Rale let out as he brought his sword out.

Rale started running towards Ryder.

Ryder also ran towards Rale with his Moon Sword.

They met in the middle as their sword clashed.

It looked like a fierce clash, but it ended up with Ryder flying back like a stone as he crashed on a tree. 

The Tree broke apart as Ryder continued flying back and ultimately landed on the ground.

Blood started flowing out of his lips as Ryder stood up.

"Brave Warrior, Are you fine?!" The Princess let out loud in concern. She wanted to run to Ryder to help him, but she didn't move as Rale was standing before her.

'Damn, even though we planned this and I knew this was going to happen, I still lost half my HP just from this acting,' Ryder thought as he looked at his HP bar. He drank a potion to heal his HP. His HP recovered entirely with the potion.

"You are strong," Ryder complimented Rale as he frowned.

"You can never beat me. I'm giving you another chance. Run away and let me leave with the girl," Rale told Ryder as he pointed his sword towards Ryder.

"I can never do that. I'd rather die fighting the enemy than to run away in the face of injustice! I'll save the girl even if it cost me my life!" Ryder screamed in an emotional voice as he started running towards Rale again.

Ryder's sword and Rale's sword collided, but Ryder simultaneously cast a spell with his left hand while their swords were engaged. 

"Shadow Ball!"

A ball of darkness appeared in front of Ryder's left hand, which he shot towards Rale's hand.

Rale moved back to dodge the attack, but he was hit by the shadow ball.

Rale blew back and crashed on the ground twenty meters away.

"Aaaaa! You can use shadow attacks! Those are my weaknesses! Damn you! How can I be so lucky to meet a Magic Warrior that can use the spells that are my weakness!" Rale let out in a horrified tone as he stood up.

"I can't beat you with that shadow spell! I just had to be unlucky to meet you! Fine! You win! I'm leaving, but I'll return and kill you for spoiling my plans!" Rale said before he started running away and left.

' This acting wouldn't win us any Oscars, but it should be enough for this world,' Ryder thought as he saw Rale running away.

Ryder looked towards the Princess.

"You are safe now," He said to the Princess as he started walking towards her, but he dropped to the ground.

The Princess saw Ryder fall to the ground. She started running towards him with a concerned look on her face.

She held Ryder and made her head rest on her lap.

"A-are you fine?" She asked Ryder.

"I'm fine. I just used too much of my strength to scare that bastard. We're lucky that he ran away; otherwise, both of us would be dead," Ryder let out as he sighed.

" Y-you risked your life for me. You put yourself in danger to save a stranger. I don't know how I can thank you enough," The Princess said as tears appeared in her eyes.

"It was my duty as a human to save another Human. Also, I was even more motivated when the other human was so pretty," Ryder said as he looked in her eyes.

The Princess's face turned red as she heard his words.

" Can I rest like this for a few more minutes? Just until I recover?" Ryder asked the Princess as he changed the topic.

"Hmm," The Princess nodded her head as she smiled.

'It seriously feels good resting in a girl's lap. I should try this in the real world too someday,' Ryder thought as he closed his eyes.

After a few more minutes, Ryder opened his eyes.

"I'm fine now," Ryder let out as he sat up.

" I'm name is Hades. I'm a Magic Knight and the top adventurer. May I ask the name of the Pretty Lady before me?" Ryder inquired.
