God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

"Anyways, I need a large empty room that has no surveillance and I want to be alone in there for ten whole minutes." Keith said as he looked at her and then added, "It'll be nice if I also get a decent sized leather bag."

Maria nodded as she pointed at the door, "Call my grandpa inside, please."

Keith did as she told him to and invited the priest inside, who immediately trotted in.

"Grandpa, please arrange a large empty room for Keith. Make sure that no one is inside and also get him a few leather bags." she said and the priest nodded before leaving.

Keith, unable to contain his curiosity, looked at her and asked.

"Why do you sound so cold when you talk to your grandpa? The last time I was here, everything was so different."

Maria looked up at him and sighed, "Well, my grandpa didn't buy me candy yesterday. And today morning when I told him that I want to meet you in the church's hall, he scolded me and told me that I should act according to my post. I hate him!"

Keith silently watched her with slight hesitation before he gave in. He patted her head gently, "It's fine, I'm sure he still had your best interests at heart."

With an angry pout on her face, she glared at him, "You're taking my grandpa's side too! All of you adults are evil! I hate you!"

'Oh yeah, I forgot how annoying kids could be.' he thought and made some distance between them. He then made some small talk and distracted her from the topic until the priest walked back into the room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Keith followed the priest along with Maria and walked into a room that the priest pointed at. The two of them stayed outside while Keith walked in. The room wasn't exactly large and at most, it was twice the size of Maria's room.

He saw four large leather bags placed on one corner of the room and let them stay there for the time being. Instead, he walked closer to the center of the room and closed his eyes.

With a single mental command, a huge pile of gold, silver and various other valuable things appear in the room. Keith kicked some of the things that were in the pile, pushing them away until he found what he was looking for.

He grabbed a worn out book with leather bindings in one hand and a metallic flask that was in perfect condition in the other. He placed them on the side and grabbed two leather bags before going back to the pile.

'I need money for Clara's situation and maybe I'll try to sell the jewellery off.' he thought as he grabbed a few gold bricks and placed them in his leather bags. 5 bricks in each bag with each brick weighing a kilogram.

He then grabbed some silver jewellery along with some items that were made of silver like cutlery, plates, utensils and even weapons that were made purely for display purposes.

Everything was stuffed into the bags until they were 90% full.

He then looked at the pile that was still pretty huge and smiled, "Well, this much is enough for me to take care of all the things I guess."

As he said this out loud, everything in the room vanished, going back to his system storage that was inherently flawed.

'If possible, I should try and make the inventory more streamlined. Having the ability to store things is great, but it's inconvenient if I have no choice but to take every single thing out.' he thought as he grabbed the two more empty leather bags and stuffed the filled up leather bags into them, upside down.

He then picked up the book and the flask before walking out of the room.

"Let's go to your room and talk or maybe we can use use this room instead." he said as he pointed at the room behind him while looking at Maria and her grandpa.

Maria nodded and walked inside while saying, "Okay, come in. Grandpa, stay outside and keep watch."

It was clear that she was still angry, but Keith didn't bother meddling and silently followed her inside before closing the door behind him. He then gave her the two cursed artifacts before taking a deep breath.

"I don't know the names of either of these two, but I do know how they work." he said and then pointed at the book, "This book... well, you can write any question on one of it's pages and it'll give you the answer to that question without any problem. But that only happens once. The second time you ask a question, it still gives you an answer, but this time, it'll cause hallucinations on the side and in just a few days, you'll go crazy without a shred of usable intelligence in your body."

Maria's mouth opened wide and Keith nodded, "Yeah, it's a one time use thing if you want to be safe."

"As for the flask..." he began as he pointed at the flask, "This flask has unlimited water, but if you try to pour the water out, it won't work as not even a single drop will come out. The only way to drink the water is to bring it to your lips directly.

Now, it can be extremely helpful and it could also be extremely fatal since it's entirely dependent on luck. Sometimes, just one sip of this water could be equivalent to an entire bottle and sometimes, just one sip will take you to your grave. It can improve your memory, mental strength, physical strength and also spiritual strength. Well, energy but still, I know you understand what I'm trying to say here.

The chances of getting good things is the same as bad things so you could also just lose a bunch of memories, feel mentally drained, feel weak or maybe even loose your hair. There are too many things to take into account and the effects are extremely random."
