God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

The money that was in front of Vincent, disappeared steadily as he upgraded three of his skills.

In an instant, 131,064 Moros disappeared.

The money required for each upgrade was multiplied by 4, with Grade F to E being 1 Zen and E to D being 4 Zen. When converted to Moro, this was multiplied by two.

From E to S, he would need 4+16+64+256+1024+4096+16384. Which summed up to 21,884. When converted to Moro, it was 43,688 and for three skills, it was 131,064.

But even though the money vanished, Vincent didn't see any change on the system screen.

"Hey, system... did you just... scam me?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper due to his disbelief.

Keith on the other hand, stared at his system screen, speechless and lost on how to handle the situation. He could indeed help him with the upgrades, but it consumed his mental energy. He didn't have enough to help Vincent to upgrade three of his skills to SSS grade in just a second.

With a sigh, he used some of his mental energy to give Vincent one upgrade to his Battle God's Regeneration and sent a message.

[System Overload. The activation of all upgrades will take time and until then, no more upgrades will be available.]

Seeing this, Vincent calmed down and went back to dreaming about beautiful girls. The system administrator could stop him from visiting brothels, but he couldn't stop him from imagining things.

The moment Vincent's Battle God's Regeneration went up from E grade to D grade, Keith's regeneration also improved. He then decided to let go of his worries and take a nap. A few hours later, he was woken up by Amelia.

"Time to go?" he asked and she nodded, "Yeah. Do you need help with walking?"

"Girl, I can't even stand up on my own... like... how do I explain?"

Amelia sighed and nodded, "It's fine, I understand." she said and carried him up like a princess.

She then looked at him and frowned, "What? Stop looking at me like that."

"Nah, I just realised that you're pretty strong. I thought you were mentally like a brother to me but now..."

"One more word and I'll drop you right here." she glared at him and Keith shut up, not having any intention to have himself dropped back to the ground.

Once they got back to the group, Clara brought a guy with her to Keith, "I found this person and has an ability to help with recovery."

"Yeah she went around asking every damn team." Amelia said and nodded but Keith shook his head, not wanting to get back to normal at all.

"No no, what are you guys thinking? I mean, I appreciate it Clara, I really do. But think about it like this. I'm one of the weakest in the team and if I'm injured, there will be a reason for you guys to reduce the number of fighters when there's another combat event like today.

This way, you won't have to worry about losing since most of our team other than me, is pretty strong themselves." he said.

Clara gave him a disapproving look, but didn't express it through words. On the other hand Brandon nodded, agreeing with him.

"He's right. If he participates in a fight, he'll only drag us back."

Amelia and Clara stared daggers at him.

Seeing their reaction, he shrugged and looked away but everyone in the team failed to notice Caleb walking towards the forest. By the time they did, it was too late.

He bashed his head against a tree with all the strength he could muster and passed out in an instant.

"What the hell?!" Laura shouted before rushing over to him.

Nathan on the other hand looked at Keith, "He basically followed your example...." he said and sighed, "What am I even supposed to do with him.. and you."

He stared at Keith, "Please don't say things like that in front of Caleb again. He cares about the team too much and has very low confidence."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that. I'll keep that in mind."

Nathan nodded and turned to look at Laura who was carrying Caleb back to the team.

"What do we do now?" she asked as she looked at the others.

Brandon rubbed his chin, "He should have broken his back or something. Once he wakes up, he'll have to get involved in the events anyways." he said and after seeing everyone's pissed off expressions, he coughed slightly and added, "But I'll lecture him to not do this again. This is not good for the team."

The healer on the other hand, couldn't help chuckling, "You guys are a fun team. Everyone in my team is so damn serious that even breathing around them feels hard. Yikes." Explore more stories at empire

Keith looked at him, "Well, a team is still a team. By the way, if you need anything, don't hesitate to come to us. We can trade fish meat with you, some fresh water and maybe some other things as soon as we get our hands on them."

The healer nodded, "That'd be great actually. We're were really struggling for food for the past three days and today was a godsend. We ate until out stomachs were full but we do need a stable source of food and we don't mind trading for it. My team has medical experts so if you need anything, do tell me."

Hearing this, Keith grinned, "I need something that can paralyze animals. Even the big ones. Then maybe something like tranquilizers, preservatives and oh yeah, pain killers."

The healer heard his needs and thought for a second before nodding, "We do have ingredients to make preservatives right now, but we'll need more time for the the others. Salt is like the best preservative option, so the one we'll be able to make is like a paste. It'll keep the food fresh for a maximum of two days."

"Only two days huh..." Keith said and nodded, "Yeah I guess it'll be fine. Or maybe not, let me think about it tonight and I'll tell you tomorrow if I need it or not."
