God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 190 Reality or Dreams

Vincent Spent almost an entire month scouring the streets of the capital and he still hadn't found the girl that fit the description on the quest.

At this point, he was extremely close to giving up.

He stopped walking in the middle of an alleyway and leaned against one of the walls before groaning.

'What's the point of doing this when I'm unable to find her? This is just a waste of time...'

This wasn't the first time he was having these thoughts and every single time he called the quest a waste of time, the system would come out to threaten him.

'Fuck, just come out and say it. I don't even want to live anymore.'

Keith had been keeping an eye on Vincent all this while and seeing him this way, he couldn't help but sigh.

'I really picked the wrong person. But if threats don't work...'

[System Administrator: The other system administrators are making fun of me because of a useless dog like you. You gave up just because you saw that Fabian guy recover? What's so great about that?

His system administrator is so weak compared to me and yet, you're sitting here and crying like a bitch instead of training. That bastard keeps boasting that his user trains every single day without a break and then I have you.

A dog who just wants to sleep around. I made a mistake picking you, but I can't change my decision. I'll give you one last chance. If you find the girl, I'll give you a free unlock along with the upgrade. I'm talking about skills and not your war god's inheritance items.]

Vincent stared at the system screen, feeling unmoved as his mind was still at the same place. He didn't feel like listening to the system anymore.

"Fuck off." he said and began to walk out of the alleyway. He didn't continue searching and instead, he walked into an inn and got a room.

Keith silently watched him go to sleep as he felt a tinge of range inside him.

'This bastard pisses me off, but I should also understand his situation.' he thought as he stared at his system screen, 'That encounter with Fabian has impacted him deeply and I don't really know how to help him.'

While Vincent slept, Keith silently tried to come up with a solution to his problem.

It didn't take him long to come up with a way to get things done even if it had a chance of failure. He dived into his spatial dimension and created a small 2mx2mx2m cube.

Using his connection with Vincent thanks to the Battle God System, he brought him into his spatial dimension.

Vincent was inside the box and Keith used his mental energy to keep the oxygen levels even inside. All the carbon dioxide that was being exhaled, was magically transformed into oxygen.

This went against the scientific laws and due to this, he had to expend a bit more mental energy per second. Overall, it wasn't much as the change was only being done in a small space.

The dimension was his world and he was like a god of this place.

Using this ability, he tried to induce a dream within Vincent and to his surprise, it worked. The system helped him see what was going on in Vincent's mind and using this, he controlled the dream to go the way he wanted it to.

'I'm not really great at this... System, can you do it for me instead? Show him a dream in such a way that it'll give him a spark. Motivation, drive or even desperation. It does not matter as long as he isn't lazing around.'

[Affirmative. Showing user Vincent a dream that'll trigger his past trauma, targeting his rage.]

Keith silently watched the dream play on the screen in front of him.

Vincent's father, who was just a regular farmer, did his daily routine of going to his farms with his son. But what greeted them weren't their crops which they had been taking care of for four months.

It was Fabian's son and multiple bullock carts filled with their crops.

"You still haven't paid the loan so I'll be taking these from you. This barely covers the interest, heh."

It was blatant stealing and due to their harvest getting stolen multiple times, Vincent's father had no choice but to continue taking loans to keep his family fed.

Until one day, he was introduced to gambling. He won big, putting in just a brak and winning three zen in return.

The wins and losses were random and at first, he was making a profit overall. This continued for one whole year until suddenly, Fabian himself came to get the loan money from the family. Find exclusive content at empire

After begging for a few days time, Vincent's father decided to go all in on one single bet. It was a loss and he went back to zero.

The interests from his loans racked up and at the end of the day, Fabian was done with him. He let his son do whatever he wanted as long as he could get his money back and that was when hell began for their family.

Vincent's father was sent to work in other's fields while his mother was sold to a nearby brothel that did not have a good reputation.

Vincent saw his family fall right in front of his eyes. He squirmed in his sleep as he watched his younger self getting lied to by his mother whenever he asked her where she went.

She always gave him a smile before telling him that she was working at a small restaurant.

Things unfortunately changed when Fabian's son learned about Vincent's fiance, an orphan girl who was living in an orphanage. It was in the same town where Vincent's mother worked, and it didn't take him too long to drag the girl out of the orphanage.

Once she found out what was going on, he promptly grabbed a sharp object and pierced her own neck right in front of Vincent, ending her own life as she stared at him.

Those eyes screaming just one thing.

"You're the reason for my death."
