Chapter 149 Brother
Chapter 149: Brother
He couldn’t see his face, but his hands and feet made him seem like a teenager
A young boy was sitting near him. The boy looked like he was 15-16 years old. He had flaming red hair and a cute looking face.
The boy seemed to be crying.
"No matter what I do, I can’t seem to attract her attention. She’s always with her friends. Why am I not as handsome as them?" the boy asked.
Although it was a dream, Ryder felt as if he had no control over his body. It was like this was all a replay, and he couldn’t change or control anything.
"Don’t forget your identity. If you want the girl, just take her," Ryder said. His voice was much different than it was now and felt grimmer.
"I... I can’t do it. She will not respect me if I do that. I want to win her heart, not abduct her," The boy replied.
"You will never get her the way you are now. It’s not that you aren’t handsome, it’s your personality," Ryder said. "You’re like a child."
"What can I do to change that?" The boy asked as he looked at Ryder with hope.
"You need to make your mindset more mature. Our identity is special, and we can’t be like you are right now. If you’re worried about a girl, then you will never achieve anything. Just do something to show her that she belongs to you. Show her that you like her if you want her," Ryder said.
"She will hate me if I do that," The boy said as he shook his head.
Ryder looked towards the boy before he stood up.
He picked up the boy with his hand and started flying in a certain direction.
After some time, he stopped in a place that was filled with people. There were men, and there were women. All of them looked thousands of times better than most of the people Ryder had seen on earth other than a few.
The dream version of Ryder got down to the ground and walked up to one of the random girls on the street that had a crown on her head.
"I-isn’t that..." the boy seemed surprised as he saw Ryder walking towards the girl.
The girl had Crimson hair and deep blue eyes. Her jade-like skin made her seem like a fairy.
Ryder walked to the girl, placed his hand around the girl, and kissed her abruptly.
The girl was stunned at what happened, but she couldn’t understand why her heart was beating faster. It was like she was charmed instantly by Ryder’s eyes.
She kissed him back as if she lost control of her body to her heart.
The boy that was standing behind was stunned as he saw the events unfold.
Ryder released himself from the girl’s embrace and walked back.
He caught the boy’s hand and flew away, leaving the stunned girl behind.
"T-that works?" the boy asked.
"Not for everyone, but we are special. You don’t need to use words if you can’t use them. You need to show the girl you like, your true feelings. If you can’t express it with words, then express it in other ways. This is the way that father taught me, and it has been working for me," Ryder said. "So far, I haven’t met a girl that proved me wrong,"
Even though the dream version of Ryder felt like a badass, there was some ignorance in his words. It seemed like he was still quite young and hadn’t learned everything.
"Father taught you?" the boy asked Ryder in surprise.
"Yes, Janus, Father taught me. I will definitely become like him when I grow up. I will become the God that will make father proud," Ryder declared.
"If father said that, then it must be true," Janus said.
"Sometimes I wonder how I have a brother like you. We are so different. Anyway, tell me where we will find that girl. You need to do it as well. Express your feelings. I don’t want to see you sulk about it every day," Ryder said.
Janus nodded his head after some hesitation and told him the place.
They got to the place he talked about.
"That’s the girl I like," Janus said as he pointed towards the girl.
"Go, and do as I did. Act confident! Nothing will go wrong," Ryder said to Janus as he pushed him forward.
Janus stepped forth and walked towards the girl that was standing with her friend.
Ryder watched Janus talk to the girl. He took the girl to the side before he kissed the girl.
The girl moved back in shock.
The friends of the girls were mostly male. They were furious as they saw another guy kiss the girl. One of them walked towards Janus and slapped him.
Ryder’s blood boiled as he saw his brother being hit
After that, what happened could only be described as a massacre.
It was at that time, Ryder woke up from his weird dream.
"What... the ... actual... fuck?" Ryder cursed as he thought about what happened in that dream. He was weirded out.
This was the weirdest dream he had seen. Janus as a real boy, that too, his brother? And what was with that stupid technique to pick up girls?
"Janus?" Ryder asked.
"Yes?" Janus replied instantly.
"I think you should hear this. I had such a weird dream. I was like your brother, and I gave you tips on how to get girls. I guess your first mission about kissing Alice has somewhat influenced me, but seeing you as my brother was definitely weird," Ryder said as he smiled wryly.
Janus didn’t reply to him.
"Hey, you can at least respond," Ryder asked again.
Janus still didn’t answer him.
"Fine, don’t answer. I’m sure you would be freaked out by this as well if you weren’t a system," Ryder said as he stood up.
He got off the bed and went for a cold shower.
After coming out, he got dressed.
It was already 8 in the evening. He stepped out of his room and walked towards the kitchen.
"You’re right on time. I was just about to go call you," Alice said as she served the dinner on the table.
Ryder smiled as he sat down on the chair.
"I woke up at the right time," he answered her.
They had dinner together before they walked back to their rooms.
Ryder entered his room and laid on his bed as he wore his Divinity Glasses.
He didn’t know that Alice was in her room doing the same thing. She had also started playing divinity some time ago.
Ryder entered the world of Divinity and found himself in the same cave he was in when he left.
