God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Chapter 52: Stealth Check Failed, Proceed to Bruteforce

'Hmm... can I see my own status screen like Vincent does?' he thought and willed for it to happen, which it did. A new system screen popped up in front of him, but unlike the usual light blue, it was yellowish and almost golden.

'Hmm...' he stared at the screen, 'Let's see. Change Battle God's Regeneration to just Regeneration. It's better to keep things simple so there's no need for fancy names.'

Just as he thought of changing the name, it happened. The skill's name changed and replacing it was just "Regeneration".

'Now that's convenient.' he thought as he nodded before feeling bored once again. The lack of portable entertainment had begun to get on his nerves and there was nothing he could do about it.

Frustrated, he closed his eyes and began thinking about the contents of the novel, hoping to remember something important but as he was in the middle of his imagination, he felt a slight nudge from his left where Brandon was sitting.

"Let's go and eat something."

"Ah yeah, okay." Keith replied and absentmindedly climbed out of the carriage behind the others and saw Edward grab some fallen branches off the nearby trees for firewood.

Keith simply stood in one place and went back to getting lost in his own thoughts.

'Going to the capital will take us another three weeks... we'll barely be there on time but at least I can sleep better this time.'

By the time they were done eating their dinner, it was already dark. Keith kept his eyes on Vincent through his screen as the kid was on the move since the past few minutes.

Keith went in first this time and occupied the left most corner. Amelia got in next and behind her was Brandon and then Clara was last. While he was keeping an eye on his screen, he didn't make the mistake of ignoring his surroundings.

Due to this, he could easily see Clara actively trying to get in last, trying to keep as much distance from him as possible.

'Oh well, it is what it is. There's no point in dwelling over it even though she's kinda hot according to me. I'll find someone else in the future... hopefully.'

As a person who didn't like forcing things, he finally decided to let things go. He also lost all hope of Clara ever asking him to stop her marriage.

'Power first. Money second. Women third.' he convinced himself even though he knew that he wouldn't be able to stick to this rule. But he still had the confidence of having some self control.

He made himself comfortable by leaning against the wall on the left and focused on his system screen as he ignored everything else.

Vincent silently stood behind the corner of a wall as he kept an eye on the Lady Grace's mansion. There were four guards in total with two at the front of the gate and the other two patrolling around the mansion, outside the 3 meter tall wall that surrounded the entire property.

Right after he gave in to his fate, thanks to a specific heartless system administrator, he rushed out to scout the area and based on his observations, he could tell that these four were the only ones guarding outside.

As for what could potentially be on the inside, he had Keith feed him speculative information.

Based on everything Keith had told him until now, he knew that there was a possibility of servants and the butler having combat capabilities but he was sure that there wouldn't be any knights inside to protect anyone.

'No one other than the nobles or the royals are allowed to hire body guards or knights in Morose Kingdom. But that's just officially. Rich people can easily use loop holes and hire bodyguards who can do other things such as gardening and cooking. Pretty cool actually.' Keith thought as he watched Vincent walk along the road normally.

Two of the patrolling guards took a turn and the two standing guards were now alone.

As he got close to the guards, he suddenly jumped towards them as he grabbed a knife from his pocket. His right fist flew straight towards the guard in front of him and the moment it connected, he threw the knife at the second guy.

His punch hit the guy straight in the jaw, knocking him down instantly while the other guy blocked the knife with his arm.

"INTRUDER! INTRUDER!"

"Ah damn, I knew it!" Vincent cursed as he immediately created a fire ball and shot it straight at the large wooden gate. The sheer volume of the flames was so huge that it directly pushed the gates open.

As the gates burned, Vincent threw another fireball at the guard who had messed things up for him before rushing in. He didn't care about a perfect job anymore and simply wanted to get his hands on the money and artifacts.

He rushed towards the door and punched it open, leaving a black burn mark that was the shape of his fist on the door's surface.

[System Information: Run straight until you reach the end. Take a right turn and continue running until you reach the end again. This time, get into the room on the right. It'll be a very well maintained art storage room. Once inside, look for a clock and punch the wall right below it. If it doesn't break, use your flames.

You'll then see a passage that leads underground, so just follow it.]

Originally, Clark would invade the mansion after the war ends and this arc was exceptionally important as the goal was to steal a Blessed Artifact. Keith had read this arc more than four times, so he remembered most of it.

'Well, Grace finds the Blessed artifact during the war so it's highly unlikely for me to find it right now. But this is a chance that I just can't let go.'
