God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

"Oh wait there is more but if you need that information, you'll have to let me have this man."

Keith kept his eyes on Ken and shook his head, "There's no need, I've heard enough."

The trigger was pulled backwards and with a loud bang, the weapon went off. At such a point blank range, Clangson's fate had been decided as he fell to the floor with two holes on his skull.

"You... you're so hasty." Ken said and Keith shrugged, "I hate people like him, but we can still come to an understanding if you want. Tell me what you need and we can talk things through."

"I'd love to play but you just killed someone whom I really wanted to I'm very angry." Ken said as he smiled and the egg like mask appeared on his face once again.

Keith grit his teeth and silently moved his gun to aim at the guy in front of him as he tilted his head slightly to the side.

"You guys, both adults and the kids, please move out. It'll get dangerous if you stay here."

"Heh, you think I'll let them leave when I can use them as my meat shields?" Ken chuckled and rushed towards them.

Keith immediately fired his weapon but Ken didn't flinch one bit as the bullets passed through his body, leaving holes.

With a frown on his face, Keith dashed forward to intercept Ken, but found himself stuck and unable to move.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Damn strings... they're strong.' he thought as he saw Ken close the distance between himself and Clangson's family, but to his surprise, the eldest daughter raised her hand and screamed.

"Get away from us!!!"

And right at that moment, as if something invisible had popped up, Ken was stopped in his tracks just like Keith and before he could do a thing, he flew towards the broken window, exiting mansion like a broken doll.

The near invisible strings that kept Keith locked in one place also seemed to have vanished as he regained his movement.

"Good job, try to leave from the other side now. I'll go fight him." he said and immediately rushed out, but this time, he saw a huge mass of silvery strings fly from the outside.

Not waiting for miracles, Keith used his flame abilities and coated his entire body with fire. Everything happened almost instantly; the fire that formed around him flew outwards and immediately caught onto the hair, burning it as it grew.

The result of this burning was an undesirable stench of burnt hair and Keith rushed out of the mansion to face Ken who was standing in one place while the hair extended out from his egg helmet.

Keith dashed forward, using all of his strength along with the boost that the armor gave to quickly close the distance. As he skidded to a halt right in front of Ken, he made the fire around him explode outwards, burning every single strand of hair along with the mask and his clothes.

His open palm flew to Ken's face and grabbed it and sensitivity was increased to the limits, but to Keith's surprise, Ken didn't show any reaction.

Not having a concrete reason for this phenomenon, Keith slowed down his assault with his flames to take a look at his opponent's situation.

His hand was still on Ken's neck as the fire that blocked his sight went out.

In front of him was a human shaped flesh mound that looked like well cooked meat with a great crust. Before Keith could do anything else, the burnt bits fell off and fresh bubbles of reddish pink flesh began do grow out.

Keith kicked him away and silently watched, studying the way the flesh regrew. He grinned behind his helmet as he saw Ken's face form once again along with his limbs.

The hair coated his entire body, making him look like a certain white celled creature in a ninja world.

"Cool, you said you wanted to play right? Let's play. What should I call you?"

"Silver Thread."

Keith nodded and let him stand up before he rushed forward as the armor covering his fists went bright red. Hundreds of strands of hair flew towards him, but all of them shrivelled up as they got into the 1 meter radius around his hands.

Having no other choice, Ken went for Ketih's legs. The hair made multiple turned around his calves and ankles before digging into the ground but a single burst of fire that erupted from Keith's leg burnt it all away.

The smell was still as bad as before, but the red hop fists landed on Ken's handsome face perfectly. The force of the punch blew away the head, but Keith silently waited as the head formed again.

"You're too weak. Tell me, do you think it's fun to play when everything gets easy? Nah, it's boring. I was expecting a bit too much from you but I guess fire is a great weakness. Also, it doesn't look like you're a living person, which means you're just a puppet that's being controlled by someone else." he said as he grabbed Ken's neck.

"Go back to them and give them my message. I'll wait for you right here, so come and we'll have a talk."

Keith then let him go before taking a few steps backwards as he waited for a reply.

And unlike his expectations, Ken simply went for an attack instead of backing down. A huge mass of silvery hair shot towards him, making him shake his head as he created a barrier of flames.

But to his surprise, the hair didn't try to hit him and instead flew past him. Even without looking behind, Keith shot out flames in all directions as a tall pillar of orange flames hit the skies.

Every single strand of hair was burnt while leaving a stinky smell. Keith scrunched his nose and decided to end it right that instant as Ken wasn't listening to him anymore. Stay tuned with empire

Bright orange flames covered Ken's body and burned for ten whole minutes until the entire body had turned dry.

'Let's see how this jerky comes back to life, if it's even possible.'
