God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

By the time the ritual was done, Keith had stopped smoking and was ready to see the changes. The flames stopped burning and he saw Clara slowly open her eyes.

She looked around and when she found Keith, she smiled widely, "It's amazing!!!"

"Tell me how it went. I mean about your second awakening." Keith said as as he skipped over the trenches to get to the center and Maria quipped in, "Yeah, tell us. After all, you'll be sent with Keith as an Inquisitor so we gotta know if your abilities can fit the role or not. Mother told me to trust Keith, but she didn't tell me to trust you."

It was a very blunt way of speaking, but Clara didn't mind it and nodded, "Firstly ability to give divine blessing has changed. Instead of some intangible barrier, I can not give others a body armor. It'll be weightless and it will also improve your physical abilities by a certain percentage based on how much I want it to be. It can go from zero percent to a thousand percent."

"Hmm, so no boost to a ten times boost." Keith said and nodded, feeling satisfied with the outcome, but he knew that this couldn't be the end and he was right.

Clara continued, "I can also summon this body armor, but I also gained a permanent physical enhancement. Which means, even without an armor, I'm deadly in combat. I can also summon revolvers, shields, spears, swords and many other weapons which can only be used by me.

On top of that, I can upgrade any weapon temporarily and this doesn't have a restriction on who can use it. Though, this will cause the appearance of the weapon to change." she said and glanced at Maria and Keith, both of whom looked extremely impressed.

Seeing that they were waiting for more, she gave them a sheepish smile, "Um, yeah that's it."

"Alright, that's very impressive." Keith commented and looked at Maria, "There shouldn't be any problems with her becoming an inquisitor right?"

Maria nodded and then sighed, "Well, it's fine if she an inquisitor but I want you to keep in mind that there will be times when you'll have to work with inquisitors from other churches. We have a policy of only killing the ones who cause trouble, but this isn't the case wit the church of war.

They operate based on the phrase, prevention is better than cure, so they'll kill people before they cause trouble without any evidence. When you do team up with them, you'll have to follow their orders since their inquisition branch is way stronger than ours and they also have more experience."

Keith knew of this thanks to the novel so he nodded, "Yeah, I understand. I'll think about it and make a decision to either keep my teammates out of it or not."

"I don't have a choice but to trust you so do what you want. Feel free to leave whenever you want to and just so you know, the other three are still at the church. Clara will help you find them." she said and began to walk away with the doctors while leaving the two of them alone in the room.

Keith was about to follow them, but Clara grabbed his arm as she shook her head and brought her finger to her lips.

He could tell that she wanted some alone time with him, so he stayed. Once the others were gone, she excitedly grabbed his arm, "You told me before about the inventory thing right? I have it!"

"It's like... a five meter cube and I can put anything inside it." she said with a smirk on her face, making Keith chuckle, "Looks like it worked, huh? Anyways, keep that as your last trump card and once we're out, we'll figure out how to use it properly."

"Okay!" she said as she walked out of the room with him, feeling extremely good about the secondary awakening. The two of them walked to the rooms that were used by Nathan, Laura and Caleb.

Once they gathered them all in a room, Keith made his announcement.

"You'll be leaving to the Kazak empire tomorrow with Clara. If the others join you, then that's fine too, so make sure that you exchange all the Baroms you have to Braks or Zen before you leave. I'll be taking a detour so I'll be late and hmm... Caleb, you'll be coming with me. I have a way to make your control over the winds even stronger, so consider it a training session."

Caleb looked surprised for a few seconds before he nodded enthusiastically. He knew that his awakened ability was weak compared to others and he didn't shy away from an opportunity to make it strong.

"Um, so like... from today onwards, what should we call you? I mean, we used to address our team's superior as Inquisitor, but since one of us is going to become an inquisitor too, it'll probably cause some confusion." Laura said as she looked at Keith.

"Hmm, just call me sir. I don't like the sound of captain." he said and Nathan immediately spoke up, "Captain Keith... Sir Keith... I think Captain Keith sounds better."

Laura, Caleb and even Clara nodded in response to Nathan, making Keith sigh, "Fine, call me Captain. Also, about the promotion..." he said and looked at the three of them.

"Who do you think is fit for the role? Every one of you must answer."

Nathan went neutral and said that everyone deserved the role equally while Laura was confident in herself. Caleb on the other hand voted for Nathan and stated his reasons.

"No one will ban him from using his ability while we go to fight people. I'm not saying that Laura is bad. In fact, she's way better than me but I think Nathan deserves the promotion."

Keith nodded, "Right, but confidence is something I need and Nathan, if you can't take a step and say good things about yourselves, then you don't deserve a promotion. I'm valuing your mental psyche along with your physical capabilities so, let me give you another chance. Tell me why you deserve the promotion."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
