God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 4: Revenge System Delivered

Keith walked back to his house and walked straight to his bed. He then lifted the mattress and grabbed the three notes that he had hidden for a long time.

From the three notes, he took out two and gave them to the short man who was standing at the door and watched him take out a fat wallet. From the wallet, he took out one large brownish coin and gave it to Keith.

"Thank you, sir Keith. I'll be on my way now." the man said and left the place. Keith stared at the whitish grey note and the brown coin before sighing. He put both of them into his pocket and walked towards his table.

He pulled open one of the drawers and grabbed a small leather pouch that had a thin rope tied around the opening. He loosened the rope and looked inside to see different sized coins. The smallest was the size of a bottle cap and had the number 1 written on it.

The medium sized one was slightly larger and had the number 5 written on it and lastly, there was the largest one which had the number 10 written on it. This was also the same one that Keith received from the short man a few seconds ago.

There were a total of 7 small coins, 3 medium sized ones and finally, two large coins including the one that Keith had gotten recently. As for the 1 Zen note, he put it back under his mattress along with two of the larger Brak coins.

He then grabbed a 1 brak coin and snapped his fingers, making a silvery white orb appear out of thin air. With a simple mental command, the orb flew into the coin.

Keith then put this coin in his pocket before tossing the other coins into the leather pouch and tied it to his waist. His current clothes had been washed by the workers at the hospital, but the small hole near his stomach couldn't be hidden.

He took off his shirt and turned towards the mirror to take a look at himself.

A man with black hair, dark brown eyes and a lanky build stared back at him. He was pretty tall even though he looked thin. There were barely any muscles on him, and his skin was pale.

'Looks like the only thing that the old Keith did, was hole himself in his room and study all day. Though... it's a pity that he wasn't able to get good grades in the final exams.

Keith currently was 22 years old, and had received the results of the law enforcement exam that he had taken a month ago. Through this exam, a person could get three different types of jobs.

One was a lawyer certification, second was a position in the police department and finally, the lowest of the three jobs, street patroller.

'Based on the results I got... the only option for me is the last one. But if I use connections... then maybe I can try for the police department. Either that, or I'll have to follow my brother's footsteps and join a random gang.

I don't have the money to become a merchant and nor do I have the license to sell things. Oh well... becoming a police officer is safer than joining a gang, so I guess I'll have to go meet my brother in law as soon as possible.

But before that, let's sow the seed of revenge.'

After making his plans, he walked out of his house and locked the door before heading towards a familiar restobar; a place that served as both a restaurant and a bar.

The reason he was going here was because he had seen Norn serving people while he was heading back home from the hospital. It was the place where Norn worked to make money for his family.

As for why he was working like nothing had happened? Keith didn't really know, but seeing that Norn was going through his life like always, it felt like going about his daily life was a better choice compared to disappearing from the city.

'If he did disappear after stabbing me, then it would be easy for the cops to pin the blame on him even without evidence and once that happens, it'll be hard for him to life a normal life, let alone search for his sister.'

He looked at the restobar's sign and walked towards it. There was an open area outside with multiple tables and then there was place for people to sit inside too.

Keith had a plan in his mind as he walked inside and the moment he did, he saw Norn who was walking towards one of the tables while holding a mug of beer.

Since Norn hadn't noticed him, he silently walked towards him and when Norn turned around after serving the drinks, Keith smiled and waved at him like nothing had happened.

"Brother Norn, I need some help from you like always." he said as he took out the small coin from his pocket and extended his hand, "I just need some bread so that I can have some food while I travel to my sister's house."

Norn stood silently as he stared at him for a few seconds before nodding, "Sure...." he said hesitantly before adding, "I heard that you got stabbed... are you alright?"

"Oh that." Keith said, "Honestly, I don't really remember what happened. The only thing I remember is the pain in my abdomen and my head. I woke up in a hospital and those bastards looted my savings!" he said with a pained expression on his face as he placed the coin on Norn's open palm.

Norn nodded as he listened and said, "As long as you're safe, it's good. Alright, I'll go bring you the bread you need..."

He paused for a second before looking at Keith straight in his eyes, "Do you know where your brother currently is?"
