God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith walked into the house and saw everyone ready to an extent. The trio had their suitcases ready while Amelia and Clara were both taking a look at the things that Clara had gotten from the market.

There were a few large bags of beef jerky, pickled cabbages that looked more like kimchi, a few cartons of beer, some spices and a bag of salt.

Seeing this, he took out a small ring that he had bought on the way back home and put it on his finger before looking at everyone, "I rented this artifact for a few months so that we won't have to struggle with luggage."

After saying that, he placed his hand on all the items that Clara had brought and made them disappear.

The reason he did this was to keep his ability a secret and even though Clara had the same ability, he didn't want people to find out about it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With the ring, if anyone wanted to get their hands on the "artifact" that can store objects, then he could easily just throw it away for distraction and run. He wouldn't have to endanger Clara or himself in the worst case scenario.

'Though, I'll probably be hunted down once they find out that the ring is just a normal one, it'll still give me a layer of security.' he thought and looked at the trio.

Then he glanced at Amelia and began to give them a false explanation.

"This thing can store objects inside it and it only works when it's on me since the owner did some kind of ritual on the ring. He got it to bind with me with my blood so yeah, just tell me if you want something and I'll take it out of the ring."

Caleb and the others nodded in response before they all sat down on the couch to talk about the future journey.

Keith on the other hand, simply walked back to his room and lied down on his bed before shifting his consciousness to his spatial dimension.

He got to work with making potato chips and fries before placing them all in a small 1mx1m area that was separated from the 100mx100m plot. The time was then frozen to keep them fresh, hot and crispy.

Unlike time boost that required him to continuously expend his mental energy, time freeze was a one time payment thing. He would have to spend his mental energy to keep the time in a stasis and the amount would depend on the area.

Since the area was just one meter square, he didn't have to spend much.

If he wanted to get the time flow back to normal, then he would have to spend the same amount of mental energy that he used to bring the time to a state of stasis.

Once he was done with the basic preparations, he took a look at the plot where the bees were still continuing to increase their population but this time, he could see a small problem.

Almost 99 percent of the plot was covered in flower plants and in a few more days, it would reach a stage where the bees would need even more flowers for their nectar source.

'I don't want to spend too much land on just flowers.... I'll have to find a more efficient plant for these damn bees. Once they reach their max population, I'll can start harvesting honey from them.' he thought as he watched the bees do their work.

He silently thought for a while before coming up with a solution to his problem. It was to simply increase the surface area on which he can do the planting while not having to increase the plot's area.

On one corner of the plot, he erected a tall 10 meter soil tower which was a meter in diameter and grinned.

'All I have to do right now is to erect such towers all over this plot and I'll be able to exponentially increase the output. But for this, I'll have to pick the flower plants that have shallow roots so that I won't have to increase the diameter of these towers.

Then I'll also need to pick the flowers that produce a lot of nectar while the plants also produce a lot of these flowers. It's always better to have a plant that gives me ten flowers instead of one.

Hey system, help me out with this one. Give me a list of flowers that grow in high density.'

[Compiling data...]

Keith took his sweet time to read though the list and asked his system for more information whenever needed until he finally settled on one answer.

Green Thyme.

It was a human made plant that was created a few hundred years ago and was now being used as a main ingredient to create concoctions that help with the recovery of wounds.

It was a plant that the church of medicine had a monopoly over and they absolutely refused to sell them to anyone.

The only product sold was the medicine and not the plants or any raw ingredient.

Knowing this, Keith decided to put his tower plan on hold for a few more days as he wanted to get his hands on these flowers first.

'I'll get those two to infiltrate and steal these plants for me.' he thought and immediately began to create a quest for both of them.

Vincent was currently in Baroma Kingdom while Fabian had already managed to establish his mercenary group in Morose Kingdom.

One of them operated with a group while the other moved alone and did a lot of secretive operations as a part of an assassination group.

As he made their quests, his thoughts wandered towards a few people that he knew from the novel.

'That girl's name was never mentioned but she should currently be in the slums of Baroma Kingdom. She dies in the novel like a helpless side character but she did have an interesting ability. Maybe I should take her in...'
