God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

With a deep frown and a disturbed expression on his face, Timmy stared at the red sentence on the wall.

You capture one child, I rob one store. I'm always watching.

Timmy had been messing around in a brothel when one of his father's people delivered a letter to him. The contents were short and simple, telling him that someone was targeting their businesses and that his father wanted him to stay at Baroma for a while to make sure that things were safe.

But little did Timmy expect, that these mysterious people had already begun to move. By the time he had come back to he capital, his grains warehouse and a jewellery store was robbed clean, both of which had happened just last night.

Frustrated, he kicked the wall and groaned in pain before glaring at one of his father's concubines. Once he found a target to release his emotions on, he got on with it as he rained down slaps and punches on her.

Minutes later, he walked out of the backroom with bloodied knuckles while the three women followed behind him with messed up faces.

'At least, we don't have any more businesses at this place so I could just leave but I just want to find the person who caused this so bad... I want to rip whoever it is to shreds!'

Still enraged, he headed over to an inn and let his father's concubines pay the fee as he sat down on a chair before ordering food.

His mind slowly calmed down and once he felt slightly level headed, his thoughts shifted.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'How did this person know that I hired people to capture kids for me? It seems like someone close to me has sold all of my secrets. Otherwise, it won't make any sense... unless, someone has the ability to see visions, or someone who can track people. Nah, tracking shouldn't be able to work since I've never met those guys directly and they don't even know who I am... ugh, this is getting annoying the more I thing about it!'

Lost in thought, he ate his meal in silence once the food arrived, trying to figure out what in the hell was going on. All he knew was that someone was targeting his family businesses and that they used to work in Morose Kingdom before coming to Baroma.

'Hmm... in Morose, they only attacked one place at a time but last night, it happened with two places at the same time. One of them used fire just like the person in Morose Kingdom while the other one just barged in like some maniac and stole everything.' he thought as time passed, the clues pointed towards one person.

Timmy stabbed the meatball on his plate angrily as he hissed one name, "Damn Clark!"

'Single attacks while he was at the island and when he comes out, there are two attacks at the same time. It did look like he had some grudge on me back then but this is just too much. Everything makes sense now, he was one of the few who paid the church guys to let him leave the training camp along with me, Adrian and a few other nobles.'

"Tch, you three." he growled as he stared at their messed up faces, "Hire a horse carriage as soon as possible. We're going back to Kazak Empire and while you do that, make sure to send a letter to father. Tell him everything that happened here and make sure that you don't miss a detail. Once you're done writing, bring it to me so I can cross check." he ordered and stuffed the meat ball into his mouth.

******

Last night, a few minutes after the jewellery store was robbed.

Keith rushed into an alleyway and ran until he was far away from the store. He took out the watermelon helmet and saw a glass shard sticking out from it.

"Wow, that was close... and I didn't even know it." he muttered as put it back on and straightened his clothes. He continued walking through the narrow streets and alleyways until he reached a familiar butcher shop. He headed over to the kid and payed him some money before he got into the black void-like box.

His surroundings changed and he found himself in the hunters' black market once again. He simply planned on roaming around this place while the heat settled down, but he also had other plans. Though, he totally did not expect to see a stall that sold bone masks.

Most of them looked similar to each other, but Keith could tell that all of them were hand crafted and polished. Each one of them had two holes in the side with threads passing through them.

"How much for one and what currency do you accept?" Keith asked as he picked up a plain and dull looking cream colored mask. Most of them looked similar to a human skull and there were also ones that looked slightly different.

"Gold coins, Moros and bronze coins. I also take pure gold, silver and yeah, I also accept trades." he said and pointed at his masks before he began to explain, "These are actual human skulls and these are ape skulls. One of my people has the ability to knead bone like clay so we were able to make these sturdy. Once I get your measurements, I'll be able to give you a head cap that fits you well."

As he said that, he took out an ivory bowl like thing that had a curve similar to a U and gave it to Keith, "All you have to do it put it on and tell me if it fits you. Here, you can use this tiny stall."

Keith nodded and tried it on, only to feel like it was too big for his head. He continued to try two more and found the one that fit him perfectly. It went from the top of his head to the back of his neck.
