God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Not unless there was mass destruction involved.

Then there were the gods with churches, the ones who depended on the actions of humans. The gods and goddesses of Money, War, Medicine, Art and Protection.

There were more churches, but these five were the major ones that had presence in every single country, kingdom and empire. The strongest among these five, was the Golden Church of the God of Money as it had the highest number of believers, warriors, priests and servants.

"I guess I\'ll pick the Church of Protection. I have no interest in the others." Keith said as he looked at his brother in law.

He was in-fact, very interested in the Golden Church of the God of Money, but he already knew their true nature so he stayed away from them.

\'The upper echelon of the money church are too evil. They act all good on the outside, but in reality they do some of the most despicable things ever known to mankind.\'

Adam who was walking beside Keith, nodded as he took a right turn and continued to walk, "Protection ey? I was pretty sure that you\'d choose money."

"Well... wealth is fleeting. It\'s like water, moving from one person to another just like how water moves from one place to another. I feel like working for the Goddess of Protection will give me a better sense of accomplishment compared to getting a lot of money and spending it on random things." he said as he made something up on the spot.

The two of them continued to talk until they reached the Church of Protection. Just from the outside, Keith could tell that the description in the novel did not do it justice.

There was a huge open space at the front and there were some people walking around in full metal armor. The gate was open, so Keith walked inside with Adam right beside him. The main building could be summarised to be built in a U formation from a top view.

He walked towards the left and followed the paved path until he reached the main door, which was extremely large, but was open. The layout of the church was pretty simplistic and even the paint on the walls was plain white.

"Follow me." Adam whispered as he took a right the moment he entered the church\'s main hall. There wasn\'t any door, but Keith saw him stop in front of an armoured guard.

He pointed at Keith and said, "Sir, I\'m here with my brother in law to get him a job. Would you be kind enough to tell us where to go? He\'s an awakener who wishes to serve the Goddess of Protection."

".... Awakener. I have no say in this matter, but sure, I\'ll tell you where to go so you can get to the one in charge."

The two of them listened to the directions he gave and headed off. The one who was in charge of this particular church was a priest and to get registered as an awakener under the church, Keith had to go to him.

Keith and Adam walked along the lengthy corridors before stopping in front of a larger than normal door way. There were two doors on either sides, but unlike the entrance, they were closed.

Adam took a step forward and knocked.

"Please enter." they heard a male voice and pushed the door open before walking inside.

"Father, my brother in law here is an unregistered awakened and would like to join the church." he said as he placed Keith\'s results sheet on the table in front of the priest before continuing, "He\'s studied law and justice, so I feel like he\'ll be a good asset for the church."

The priest lifted up his hand, his palm facing Adam. The moment Adam saw this, he fell silent.

"You, wait outside." the priest said as he pointed at Adam and then turned to look at Keith, "As for you, we\'ll talk one on one."

Keith nodded and watched Adam leave and once he did, the priest spoke up once again, "What\'s your ability?"

"Danger sense. It\'s like the sixth sense, but I can predict danger instinctually. I don\'t really know if it is physical or mystic ability."

The priest nodded when he heard his answer, "It\'s a useful ability. As for it\'s classification, it doesn\'t really matter. Hmm... danger sense huh? It\'ll be really useful in certain situations and it\'s a good thing that you picked the goddess of protection. Since you\'re here to join us, I\'m assuming that you won\'t have any problem with me assigning you a job?"

"...." Keith went silent for a few seconds before nodding, "I\'m hoping that I\'ll be given a job where I can perform well."

"Sure, don\'t worry about those small matters. Giving you a job where you can use your ability to the fullest is something we want too, not just you. Anyways, talking about the job, you\'ll be working as a detective. The cases we get will mostly involve one party that needs protection from the unknown.

It would be a regular person, or an awakener and as a detective, it\'ll be your job to find out who this attacker could be and the protection of the client will also fall under your jurisdiction. Don\'t worry too much about it. After all, you won\'t be forced to fight people directly. You\'ll be a part of the team and it\'ll be your job to warn them if you sense danger.

Now then, if you understood whatever I\'ve said until now, we can move on to discussing your weekly pay."
