God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Vincent found himself back in the inn after a few minutes and smiled.

"At least she's in good hands." he muttered and covered himself with a blanket before he went to bed.

Keith on the other hand, decided to spend some time with Miya so that they could both familiarize themselves with each other.

He showed her the small 5m x 5m land and said, "This place is a secret okay? You should not tell anyone about this."

"Okei" she said as she chewed on the jerky.

"I'll take you to a friend's place okay? Close your eyes." he said and she did exactly that.

Keith then went ahead and covered her eyes just to make sure that she saw nothing. A second later, he teleported the two of them to his goat farm.

At the same time, the gang members that he had imprisoned inside his dimension were all sent over to the plot where the bees were.

As they were sent there, a voice echoes in their heads.

"Continue training and do what you were doing."

While they went back to their training, Keith on the other hand, still had his hand covering Miya's eyes.

He looked at the goats in front of him and whispered in her ear, "Have you seen goats?"

"No" she said and grabbed his pinky, "Can I see now?"

"Sure." Keith replied and took off his hand.

The lush green fields and the lazily grazing goats were registered by Miya's eyes. As she looked at them, she smiled subconsciously as she held onto Keith's trousers with one hand.

"....Can I touch them?" she said and recalled what he had told her a few minutes ago before adding one word, "papa..."

Keith froze in his place, almost forgetting what he was about to say. Seeing this, Miya's face turned red in embarrassment as she raised her voice, "Can I touch them, papa?!"

"Uh, yeah. Sure." he said and watched her run towards the nearest goat that was a hundred meters away. He was in a slight daze and the only thing in his mind was, 'If only I got to hear my own kids call me that... my past life really was miserable wasn't it?'

Even though it was a question to himself, he had no answer. He silently stared at Miya and suddenly, his brain activity shot up as he ran behind her.

'Damn those goats are not domesticated. If they attack her, she'll probably die.'

It was a panicked response and only when he was midway though his run, did he realize that there was need to worry since he can easily just stop a goat in it's tracks if it tried to harm Miya.

He slowed down, but he still caught up with her and placed his hand on her small head, "Come on, let papa carry you."

Miya looked up at him and nodded before lifting up her arms. Keith grabbed her and put her on top of his shoulders.

The girl hugged his head for support and giggled, "I'm so tall!" Find exclusive stories on empire

Keith chuckled with her as he interlocked his fingers together and put his hands on her back so that she didn't lean backwards and fall. With his hands supporting her back, he didn't have to worry about her doing dangerous things.

He could have held her ankles but every since he was a teenager, he had been giving his younger cousins shoulder rides and had experienced them leaning backwards. This wasn't a good thing so he learnt from his experience and went with supporting their backs instead of grabbing their legs.

Miya happily giggled when he kneeled down in front of a goat. It looked up at the two of them and went back to chewing on grass.

"Let me pet you!" Miya said and extender her hand forward.

The goat took a step forward as if understanding her words while Keith silently watched.

'Did she awaken already?' he thought as he watched her pet the goat but a few seconds later, he saw two kids zoom in towards their mother.

Right in front of their eyes, the two baby goats latched onto their mother's udders and started sucking.

"Baaaa" the goat cried out before going back to chewing on some grass while Miya pointed at the two kids, "Papa, I want to touch them!"

Keith hesitated for a second before rejecting her, "No. I'll let you pet them later, okay?"

He expected her to complain and cry since that was how half of the kids were in his previous life, but she didn't and instead, just rested her chin on his head.

"Aw okay..."

'Kids are unpredictable and they're also fast and playful so if they attack her, it'll be hard for me to react in time.' he thought as he looked at the kids that were drinking milk.

He patted the goat roughly before getting back up, "You guys have fun. I'll go for a walk."

The two of them got into a small talk with Keith mostly asking her small questions while she did the answering. He then took her to the pond and showed her some fishes.

Time slowly passed and Keith saw the others waking up beside him in the carriage. He felt tired and sleepy so he bid Miya a temporary farewell before leaving his spatial dimension.

Originally, his plan was to stay with Miya the whole time but he had seen the goats and even the kids behaving extremely amicable towards her so he felt like it would be fine.

He opened his eyes and looked at Clara who was awake, but was still resting her head on his shoulder. The others were awake too and had gotten out of the carriage so that they can prepare breakfast so he had the privacy he needed.

"She's in my dimension but I didn't sleep the whole night so I'm pretty tired..." he said and sighed.

Clara patted his thigh and nodded, "It's fine. Just have some food and go to sleep. You can tell them that you kept an eye out at night because you sensed danger."

"That could work, yes. I'll nap for a while, just call me once the food is ready."

With just a week or two left in their journey, Keith didn't feel like it would be that big of a deal and like he had expected, everyone accepted his reasons and let him sleep in peace. The next day, they switched to a nice, spacious boat and began traveling by water.

The journey would just be faster this way and it was the most dependable way to get to the capital before the youngest princess' coming of age ceremony.

During the morning, he slept for a few hours and then spent some time with his team in the afternoon before going into this spatial dimension to spend some time with Miya at night. During this time, he taught her a lot of things, especially on the topic of secrets.

He taught her how dangerous it could become if she told others secrets and used multiple stories as examples. On top of that, he patiently taught her the letters so that she could read in the future and she was a great student, learning everything pretty quickly.

Knowing that he would reach the capital in a few hours, he bid farewell to his daughter and got some good sleep until he was woken up.

They had to hire a carriage from the neighboring port town because the river didn't pass though the capital. Thanks to this, he could sleep better compared to the boats.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He opened his eyes with a pleading groan, but when he saw that everyone was outside the carriage except him and Clara, he forced himself to not go back to sleep. He could hear the hustle and bustle outside and knew that he was at the capital.

With a sigh, he crawled out of the carriage and paid the driver his fee before he looked at his team.

"Let's just go to an inn and rest there for a few days." he said and looked at Amelia, "Any recommendations?"

"Well... if I still had my surname, I could have just taken you guys to my home but I don't think that's possible anymore so... let's see." she said and thought for a while before nodding.

"There's a place called Blue Snow Inn. It's very luxurious but a single day's stay costs two braks. There's another one called the Empire's Den and it is better than most cheap inns while only costing one brak a day. The only difference is that the other inns give you free meals while Empire Den doesn't.

Their rooms are great but the food is not to my liking. They make cheap food and say that they're giving you an experience of what the Emperor eats. Well, they're not exactly wrong but they just use low quality ingredients and their chefs aren't as good as the royal chefs.

Blue snow has better rooms comparatively and it also offers free food. It's like a buffet system but they have a set time for food. Seven to nine in the morning for breakfast, one to three in the afternoon for lunch and six to eight in the night for dinner.

And I guarantee you that their food is top notch. It's even better than what the cooks in my house used to make for my family so once in a while, I used to go to this place just for their food."

Keith shrugged, "Two per room, I'll pay for everyone so let's go to Blue Snow."
