God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

The next day, Keith woke up with Clara stuck to him and he instinctively patted her head, 'I've sent a messenger to Timothy's house so by the time he gets back home, the messenger will be there with the letter. If he wants the money, he'll have to come here. There's no way I'm going to meet him on my own.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He silently rolled Clara away from him and went into his spatial dimension. Like a routine, he spent most of his mental energy to create bullets.

Unlike Adam who could only make around 30 per day, Keith's maximum number was in the thousands. This was because he had a lot of mental energy and on top of that, Adam's efficiency was higher than 90, which meant that Keith could use the ability with an efficiency of around 45%.

While this was less, thanks to the white system, Keith didn't really care too much as creation of one bullet didn't take too much mental energy. Thanks to this, even though his efficiency was low, he could make up to it with his capacity.

He then looked at the large pile of bullets and couldn't help smiling.

Six of them floated towards him along with a gun that had a longer barrel compared to his old revolver which was currently with Amelia.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" he asked as he looked at it and the hammer went back and forth, as if agreeing with him.

Keith nodded, "Yeah, but today I want to check something out."

As soon as he said that, he gave out a mental command.

'Bullets inside the revolver, come out.' he thought and instantly, six bullets appeared in front of him. He then checked the cylinder and saw that it was empty.

"Great." he said to himself and with another similar mental command, the cylinder was now filled with bullets.

With a nod, he got out of his spatial dimension and repeated the steps. This time, he sent the bullets into his spatial dimension and then put a new batch into the revolver.

'Switching to a second gun is faster than reloading, and this is almost instantaneous so it's faster. I just need a little bit of practice to make it a muscle memory.' he thought as he stared at his revolver.

He knew that it wasn't too useful against people like Nathan and Clara who had really amazing awakened abilities.

'Well, people like these two are hard to find. I guess I just got lucky...' he thought as he looked at Clara's sleeping form.

'So adorable...'

He immediately got rid of the distracting thoughts and focused on important things. His gaze moved to the bed below him and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

'Damn shadow... I probably won't be able to do much in the next five months, but if all of us have the armors on, I feel like we'll make some progress. Even then, it'll be impossible to do spy work with attention drawing armors.'

There was a solution to the problem of the weird tracking shadow, but it also raised other issues, which was not a good thing.

'Something is better than nothing, but I guess I should go and ask Brandon for help with intel. On top of that, I'll try and see if Seraphina's blessings can push this shitty shadow away.'

As his thoughts wandered, he headed to the bathroom to take a bath and by the time he was done, he saw Clara wake.

"Oh morning!" he greeted her with a wide smile and pointed towards the door, "I'm going to buy some materials for the farm, so if the others ask, just tell them that I went out for a morning walk."

Clara nodded silently, looking slightly sleepy as she gave him a hug, "Do you really have to go so soon?" she asked and suddenly, he felt her tongue on his collarbone, "I'm a little thirsty~"

Experience more on empire

Keith smirked and with one simple motion, his towel dropped to the floor, "And I'm starving."

********

Along the bustling morning streets, Keith walked silently with a newspaper in one hand. Following his daily routine, he greeted multiple vendors on the way and walked towards the cart of a small time merchant whom he knew.

He was a healthy looking young man around the same age as Keith, but he had a physical build similar to Brandon. He was in fact, bigger than Brandon but his voice was high pitched and very soft.

"Good Morning sir, what would you like to buy today?" he asked, smiling as he saw Keith who was a regular customer at this point.

Keith gave him a nod of acknowledgement before smiling back, "Well, I'm here to propose a deal. You told me that you get all your vegetables from the neighboring county right?"

"Um, technically we're a part of the county sir. All of our taxes go to the count and yeah, I do buy all my vegetables directly from the count. His mansion is located in the neighboring town, so the journey usually takes half a day to get there.

I spend the night there and buy everything I need the next morning before coming back. Usually, the grains and vegetables last around a week, but most of the times, the goods are all sold out in two to three days."

Keith nodded and he didn't really care too much about which noble the district belonged to, but since he got some free knowledge, he decided to keep it in mind.

"Understood. Anyways, I wanted to ask if you're willing to take on a transportation job for me. I need hundreds of kilograms of potatoes. No wait, I'd need it in tens of thousands actually."

The vendor stared at Keith with his mouth wide open. Once he recovered from the shock, he nodded, "Well, I guess you're lucky. The count recently got his farms harvested, but I don't think he'll be able to meet your requirements by his own. You'll have to ask various other nobles if you want tens of thousands of kilograms."
