God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Turns out, Nathan was just messing around. Or at least, that's what he claimed.

Keith could tell that he was slightly hurt, but his feelings weren't deep enough for the rejection to hit him too hard.

"Welp, all of you can consider today as a holiday but we'll start our work from tomorrow onwards. If anyone is interested in knowing something early on, feel free to come to my room before evening." he said and headed over to toss his things into one of the bedrooms.

Two bedrooms were slightly bigger than the other three, but there were no "master bedrooms". This was because, even the smaller bedrooms were larger than a traditional master bedroom.

Keith did not forget that this placed used to be a brothel before. After tossing his things inside, he decided to simply take a walk.

The place had a lot of base area, with a 4 meter wide corridor that went straight from the entrance to the other and of the house. On the right, were multiple bedrooms and on the left of the corridor was a large hall.

This large hall was used as a living room plus kitchen. There were four large couches that looked incredibly luxurious and there was also a place for playing darts. The kitchen area was very spacious, but it had a regular firewood stove.

Keith did not like this, so he decided to change it in the future.

The living room and kitchen had doors, but there was an open entrance for people to walk in. Keith then walked to the other end of the corridor that was opposite to the door and climbed up the stairs to get to the second floor.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This place only had two rooms and each of them had sliding doors, which was very uncommon in Kazak empire. But Keith didn't care about the type of door and simply went ahead to take a look.

Both rooms were empty and Keith knew that one of these rooms would be converted into their main work office. As for the other room, even Keith did not know what to do with it.

Once he was done taking a look at all the rooms, Keith left the place. He wanted to find a carpenter who could craft him one large table and three smaller ones along with a bunch of chairs.

He knew of a few places and as he walked along the streets, his eyes fell on the basket filled with mushrooms. At this moment, he felt like an absolute idiot.

'I should have tried to grow mushrooms in my dimension... damn, I wasted so much of my precious time. But it's fine, we learn with time.' he thought and kept the mushroom seller in mind as he continued walking.

It didn't take him too long to hire a carpenter and once he gave the group some directions to his house, they were off to get the work done. Keith on the other hand went to look for the mushroom seller.

"Excuse me, how do you grow these mushrooms?" he asked as he looked at the thin girl who barely came up to his chest level.

She looked up at him and blinked a few times before stuttering, "Um, mother plucks them from the forest... but my grandma knows how to grow them."

Keith nodded and gave her a Zen note, "Take me to your grandma and this note is yours. I'll help you carry this basket." he said and put it on his shoulder as he looked down at her, waiting for her to guide him.

"Okay mister..." she said and stuffed the money in her pocket before she began to walk.

Keith silently followed her until they reached the outskirts of Auberg district, a place that was literally making contact with the forest around the district.

There were a few huts and the girl walked over to one of them before calling out for her grand mother. Keith looked at the multiple tree logs lying on the ground, slightly wet but also having a thin but large cloth tied between a few vertical sticks to keep the logs protected from direct sunlight.

He then saw a short granny walk out of the hut with a hunch back. She looked at her grand child and then at Keith before frowning, "What do you want, young man? We don't want trouble."

"G-grandma, big brother gave me money to bring him here. He said he wanted to learn about mushrooms from you. How to grow them..." she said as she ran over to the old woman and gave her the money.

The grandma looked at the one Zen note and then glanced at Keith before giving him a curt nod, "Thank you for your generosity." she said and sat down directly on the ground.

"Come on, sit down. If you want to learn how to grow mushrooms, it'll take me a few hours to tell you everything I know." she said and slid her hand into her blouse before pulling out a small piece of folded paper.

Keith looked at it and sat down, not caring about dirtying his pants as knowledge was more important to him at the moment. He could wash his clothes later.

Hours quickly passed and just like the old woman had said, it did indeed take her a long time to pass on all the knowledge she had. Keith happily thanked her and took out ten Zen notes before giving it to her.

She tried to give the money back to him, saying that the 1 zen that he gave earlier was more than enough, but Keith simply ran away.

"I'll come back with my mushrooms later grandma!" he yelled as his silhouette shrank the further he ran.

The granny shook her head and smiled before looking at the money in her hand. It was something she never expected to get, but it also made her extremely happy.

"Little Mii, let's go buy some pork for dinner." she said and placed her hand on the girls head, "Let's surprise your mother before she get's back home."
