Chapter 22: Chapter 21: A System gets a Roommate, and A Warrior sends a message.

There was something off about this whole summoning of this Evil Goddess. For one thing, Jack thought, where were the other gods on this? It's not like this was super hidden. Maybe a lower level god might not have caught on, but any god looking in the area should have seen something. Especially when the corruption poured out of the ground and started to affect the city.

It's not even like they didn't have means of dealing with it. Looking within several temples Jack could see servants of gods that were at least as strong if not stronger then that head vampire. Yet they looked confused as to the sudden appearance of corruption and were in the process of stabilizing the population.

Jack didn't like it one bit. A scheme was happening, and Jack could not see the whole picture. He had sent his Users in because he feared the summoning would kill both them and thousands of the city population. Now he was scared he was mixed in something he couldn't pull his users from.

Elizabeth had escaped his notice until Nicole had Examined her. A red flag went off, she was far more powerful then she appeared. When Elizabeth fed Nicole her blood, Jack tried to peer under the curtain of fog, only to have something slam it shut around her.

The Battle with Evren was far closer then he liked. If the Vampire ever decided to resort to physical attacks, they would be torn to shreds. When he pulled out that medallion, Jack could see it was connected to Elizabeth. Using this thing, he could command her. When Nicole cut it in half, Elizabeth suddenly exploded with energy.

While Evren pulled out a heart, that felt like it was full of corrupted divinity, Elizabeth disappeared and returned a second later with a pouch. Jack felt something had pulled her away and brought her back. Then Elizabeth moved in one second she was in the mansion, the next she was impaling Evren with her spear.

A pillar of corrupted energy suddenly shot up around the statue, and Jack feared he would lose his users, when Elizabeth pulled out a Red Gem. A strange feeling came from it and when she tossed it into the pillar, that strangeness seemed to fight and suppress the corruption, until the pillar was pure divinity.

Jack could feel the immense amount of power blast out. The corruption around the city was snuffed out leaving people returning to themselves. Elizabeth then picked up Nicole and tossed her into the pillar. The power tore through Nicole who had been severely injured and began to break her down and rebuild her over and over again.

The power forced its way through Jack's connection with Nicole and began to engulf Jack. Pain overwhelmed him, images of strange rooms appeared in his mind. As the pain built he could see an image of a woman, who looked severely hurt. Most of her head was wrapped in bandages, she was missing an arm and both her legs. A strange tube ran into her arm, attached to a bag. There was a reflection of something in front of him. Then as quickly as the pain came it went as the pillar disappeared.

Collecting himself, Jack took a moment to analyze what he had seen. They felt like memories, but he could not tell when they had taken place. Perhaps these were memories he had before he had become a system. Taking a look over himself he could see nothing had changed with him, and he took a look at his Users and found they were alright. Nicole had some changes to her, but she should be alright.

Jack was about to start trying to figure out what the scheme he was caught in, when he noticed there was a large black box nearby. Startled he turned to look at it, about eight feet long and three feet wide he identified it as a large casket. It radiated the same energy from that pillar, so somehow it came through Nicole to here.

Nervous that there was now something related to an Evil Goddess inside his "home" Jack cautiously approached it. Several interesting designs were carved into it, and as he got closer he realized that the color wasn't actually black, it was a almost black red color.

Not feeling any corruption coming off it, he attempted to open the casket. The lid did not move, and Jack felt he just did not have the strength to budge it. Listening closely to it, he did not hear anything. Not able to do much with the casket at the moment Jack decided to knock on it to see if anything alive was inside.

Knocking three times, Jack was startled when the casket lid opened a few inches and a torrent of power flowed out. A pearl white hand slowly came out and attached a sign to the front of her coffin and retreated back into the darkness. The lid closed shut with a loud thud, Jack then read the sign which said "Five more years."

Confused at what this meant, Jack knocked again. A muffled voice said "No ones home, go away." Knocking again the casket opened a crack and a woman's voice said "Too Bright, what do you want?"

Jack said "Hey you are in my home, if you want to sleep here, you have to sign a contract." Jack sent her a contract. He was a little nervous. The power coming off her could easily crush him. Yet she didn't seem hostile yet.

"Fine, now let me sleep, I'll play with you later." The Voice said closing the lid, and the contract was finalized.

Energy once again ripped through him, though this time it did not feel painful. The power he gained from Armin was minor compared to this surge. Stabilizing himself, Jack took a look at the screen informing him of the Goddess he had signed a contract with.

Everything felt clearer under this power. He could see now that the world still held a great number of secrets. He could see the gods playing games with mortals, yet some ancient powers were playing similar games with the gods. Jack had stepped into one such game between two of these powers. One of them had been guiding Elizabeth, and now Jack had a fragmented soul of a goddess as a roommate.

Most of this goddesses powers were still sealed away. Most likely the gem somehow cut these parts that were not corrupted and Elizabeth used Nicole to channel the soul to Jack. Most likely to stop further corruption, as Jacks best guess. A new screen then popped up.

Jack was about to look over the world again, when a ringing sound reached him. He suddenly realized he was getting a message. Opening it he saw it was from Riley. "Hello is this Jack?"

Riley woke up for her shift when Telvin shook her awake. Getting up silently, she felt refreshed from the short sleep she had. Taking a seat to watch over the camp, she watched as Telvin laid down to sleep. From where she sat, she could make out his figure. This angry half-elf was quite pleasing to look at.

Thinking over the previous day, she started back when she was first contacted by Jack. Riley had been meditating thinking about a way she could escape and crush these goblins. A sudden blue glow lit her vision and she saw a window had popped up in front of her.

Deciding to wait and see if this god Jack's champion really could help them. If he could then she would consider his offer, if not, then it would be pointless. Later Riley heard a great battle take place, and the smell of blood filled the cavern. Soon he came through the curtains covered in blood and viscera and Riley knew she had to have him.

Not the most handsome of men, Telvin drew her like a moth to a flame. It was a sense of a beast lurking underneath him, like he could release it in an instant. Riley had grown up in a Mercenary Corp, and was no stranger to sex, and had rutted with strong men. Yet from Telvin she felt like he could break her, perhaps this was coming from her Orcish blood.

From it's blood, she had felt rage spring forth. While useful in the battlefield, it had cost her friends at a young age. Her foster parents were having none of it though and sent her to her master, who taught her to control her rage. In Telvin she could see herself, yet the rage was far greater than hers ever was.

She was amused to find the God had asked Telvin to befriend her. Before she went to bed she had shared a kiss with him, and found his taste pleasant on her tongue. She had accepted the gods offer and now awake and alone with her thoughts she started to examine the powers it had granted her.

 

Analyzing her weaknesses and strengths, Riley went through the feats available to her. Her dancing axe skill allowed her to move her axe in ways unexpectedly for an axe. With her strengths already highlighted, she thought it would be best to address a weakness.

She thought back to the moment of recent embarrassment she had. She had let down her guard while taking a shit, and was caught by those weak goblins. Riley needed a way to sense danger, even if she was distracted. She found a perfect fit for what she was looking for and chose it.

After accepting it, she felt her senses expand over the camp and into the surrounding woods. She could feel sleeping birds in trees and a passing deer. Under these new senses she could feel Telvin slowly breathing and a steady thump to his heartbeat. Shaking her head free from that she focused on the next choice she had to make, and quickly chose the class that suited her most.

Feeling peace once again settled over her, she started to explore the other options Jack had bestowed upon her. This was interrupted when a great red light lit up the camp from the sky. Quickly Riley climbed a nearby tree to take a look. From the north was a sickly red pillar of light that soon turned deep red. A few minutes later it disappeared entirely.

Returning to the ground she found none of the others had awakened. Choosing not to wake them, Riley continued to look at the options and checked under quests to find.

After closing the window, she took another look under the options and discovered a Messaging function. Under it was two contacts. One was Telvin, and the other was Jack. A little amused that she could message a god, she sent a hello to Jack.

“Hello is this Jack?”
