God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith sat with his sister and talked until evening, only stopping when he saw Adam walk into the house.

"Wha... you're back? That's pretty early as far as I know." he said as he walked inside, looking tired but there was a spark in his eyes. "Anyways, how did it go?"

Keith smirked, "My team won." he said, but his expression immediately turned serious, "I got something important to talk about and I've been waiting for you to get home so that I can tell you both at the same time."

Hearing Keith's words, Adam let out a soft sigh, "Oh god... not more. Those gang bastards are already a big pain in my ass... and I have something to tell you too." he said and pulled a chair so he could take a seat.

"Well..." Keith began as his eyes darted between the two of them and the sleeping baby, "Whatever I'm going to tell you right now, is not supposed to reach anyone's ears okay?"

He observed their expressions as they nodded and continued, "There's going to be chaos in an year and a half. Or one could even call it war. I want you guys to move to the capital or the cities that are immediate neighbors of the capital because that'll probably be the safest place."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

".... I mean, I could technically move since I know people who owe me favors, but is there really no other option?" Adam asked as he rested his arm on the table, focusing on Keith with a serious expression on his face.

"Staying here isn't too dangerous really, but keep in mind that you have a child. Do you really want to take a risk? Anyways, I also plan on hunting down the gangs in this district with my team, so you wouldn't really have to wait for too long if you want to watch chaos. I have a feeling that they'll target you guys in retaliation and that's the reason I want you guys in a safer place."

Rebecca looked at Keith with fear and worry, while a smile popped up on Adam's face.

"Heh, your team ay? Looks like you got a promotion. Which position? Head Detective? or is it just a regular detective? Last time I remember, you were just a trainee."

"Well... let's just say I switched branches. I'm an inquisitor now and I guess you already know what that means. Riskier missions, high chances of getting transferred or called to a different place and yada yada. Though, I don't have to wait for a client if I wanna do something. As long as I have a valid reason, I can take action against anyone." Keith said with a slight smile on his face.

Inquisitors from the protection church, did the same thing as the detectives, but they didn't have the responsibility to protect. A detective's job entailed protecting the client from danger while also trying to find the culprit at the same time.

They weren't allowed to kill unless it was an extreme situation, but this wasn't the case with Inquisitors. All they needed was a reason and some minor proof that a person is a danger to society, or someone else. With just this, inquisitors could go around taking action and they were also allowed to kill as long as their target did some unforgivable crime.

If it wasn't something serious, then unless the situation was extremely dangerous, the inquisitors weren't allowed to kill.

Hearing Keith's words, Adam banged the table hard, waking up the baby while Rebecca stared at Keith silently with her mouth slightly open.

"Damn, what's your salary? I heard that inquisitors get paid a lot and you also get contracts from the empire too... damn, my brother in law is a big shot now." he said, grinning widely. Stay connected with empire

Keith smiled sheepishly as he watched his sister put her baby back to sleep, "Well... twenty Zen a week. So like... One chron and thirty zen in four weeks."

Hearing this, Adam nodded, clearly impressed.

"Alright, since you're an inquisitor, I'm guessing that all the stuff you told us came from someone important. If not, you wouldn't be worrying so much. I guess we'll move, but let me pull some strings tomorrow. I probably won't get the sheriff post, but if I sign a contract that I'll give them all the bullets that I make, maybe they'll give me a good pay on top of buying my bullets." Adam said, losing himself in his own thoughts.

Rebecca nodded as she looked at both her brother and her husband, "Right, if it's going to get dangerous here, then it's better to move. Oh yeah, how could I forget about this..." she said and smiled playfully.

"Can you take a holiday tomorrow, Keith? I have a surprise for you." she said and Keith didn't think about it as he nodded.

"Sure I guess, but I'll have to go talk to my team once and get things going. So yeah, I guess I'll be gone for like three hours max." he said.

Adam rapped on the table a few times before sighing, "I guess I'll go start things right now. It's still evening so a lot of people will still be awake."

Keith and Rebecca silently watched him leave and once he did, Keith leaned back against his chair leisurely, "I guess I'll go sleep. The journey was long and tiring after all..."

"Oh that's not happening." Rebecca said sternly as her eyebrows creased, "You gotta eat something before you sleep, you know? And god knows how much you must have suffered while traveling. Did you even eat anything nice?"

With a slight smile on his face, he watched her get off the chair so she could make something for him.

"Something small is good enough for me, sis. I actually ate a lot while travelling, tasting different food from different places." he said as he leaned forward and rested his head on the table, relaxing slightly.

Rebecca worked on the kitchen counter, but paused for a second and hesitated before speaking.

"Keith... about Robert."
