God hunter system : The punisher

An exuberant being

Welcome~~~" the man happily announced as Fanel stood up, massaging his neck as he get up.

"But what the hell happened? I was falling into the void and I already knew I was going to die. So why am I here and what was that system window earlier?"

"Hello," Fanel jumped up as the man from earlier was behind him, patting him on the shoulder.

"Damn, you couldn't be more discreet. I almost had a stroke. And who the hell are you?" Fanel screamed before calming down. He had to, especially since this place seemed strange to him. It looked like a throne room.

"Right…this is my castle and you are in my throne room," the man spoke far too perky for Fanel as he took full measure of the situation.

"You saved me?" Fanel saw a door in the distance and decided to leave. This guy was way too weird and...

He stopped abruptly. "Wait…how did you guess what I was thinking earlier?" He complained, pointing at the man who smiled.

"Ah, I thought I had made a mistake in my choice. But anyway…" He punched his fan in the palm of his hand before teleporting to his throne, much to Fanel's amazement. "What are you? A hunter?"

The man chuckled. "Me? A hunter? Certainly not." A cup of tea and a teapot appeared beside him, and a chair also appeared behind Fanel. "Take a seat, please, dear chosen one."

Fanel frowned before obeying. "Why are you calling me that?"

"Because that's what you are…have some tea." A cup appeared next to Fanel with a hot drink inside, and Fanel grabbed the cup. The man on the other side started drinking his tea, seeming to relish it, and Fanel just followed suit. "Ah, it's still so good."

Not that the place was strange, but Fanel was getting impatient. "Well, let's cut to the chase. You have questions, and guess what? I have all the answers that exist on earth."

The man announced a little too happily, and Fanel felt a vein pulsing on his forehead.

"Oi, oi, let's calm down. I'm going to talk." He sipped his tea before speaking. "What is the God Hunter system, and what do you think it is used for?"

Fanel scowled at the absurd question. Even civilians know what it is, so to ask him that question, a hunter, is absurd.

"Haha, you are cruel, dear chosen one."

"Stop calling me that, my name is Fanel."

"Very well, chosen one Fanel… well if I asked you this question, it is because I want to know why the system that I created became the shit that it is today," announced the man with a mocking laugh.

Fanel frowned. How did the system he created?

"Ah, let me introduce myself properly. I am the creator of the God Hunter system, call me Kamisama."

"It's a joke, isn't it? Where are the hidden cameras?" Fanel stood up, seemingly as Kamisama held back from hitting him. A vein was already beating on his forehead, and he was about to lose control.

"As I was saying, I created this system to allow humans, at least those the system chose, to protect the weakest. The system gave them superhuman abilities, enabling them to fight against demons and monsters that come out of the rifts," Kamisama explained.

Fanel sat down again, ruminating that he loses nothing by listening to this madman. Either way, he didn't want to go back to that goddamn guild where the members tried to kill him. He listened to Kamisama before chuckling mockingly.

"Powers allowing them to fight against the rifts? That's a good joke. And me in the mix? Was I a bug in the system?"

Kamisama observed him behind his fan, his gaze still fixed and cold, nothing to do with his joker appearance.

"My system is perfect and has no bugs. The powers assigned are established based on basic human dispositions and the deep nature of the receiver. Your power indicates your true nature," Kamisama explained with a mocking laugh.

Fanel burst out laughing as his face twisted in vexation and irony. "So it's true… I'm a weakling, garbage, and talentless for fighting… Haha."

Kamisama chuckled before swinging his legs in the air. "No, that look, it's too funny."

"Glad I'm such a good clown in your eyes," Fanel remarked sarcastically.

Kamisama calmed down before popping up a system window in front of Fanel.

**How does he manage to do that?** Fanel thought.

"I am a deity, what more can I say?"

Fanel jumped before frowning.

**In addition, he reads minds… How lucky am I to be in front of the creator of the God Hunter system?**

"Just a chance in a trillion,"Kamisama responded cheerfully and Fanel sighed.

"It's uncomfortable to walk around in people's heads like that."

"Ah, yes? I find that rather cool. Haha, isn't that cool?"

Fanel rolled his eyes, preferring to focus on the window in front of him.

"What is this?"

"Here we have all the abilities granted or to be granted to hunters, and you can see below… yes, at the bottom, yours is the last line," Kamisama explained with a mocking laugh.

"Thank you, I noticed. No need to insist," Fanel responded, both flustered and sarcastic, as he looked up at the top.

There were colors. Blue and green.

"The greens are for powers already assigned and the blues are pending," Kamisama explained.

Fanel frowned and asked, "Why are the first hundred powers blue? The system didn't find receivers worthy enough?"

Kamisama's expression became more serious as he replied, "Not that it didn't find them, just that I blocked those powers."

Confused, Fanel looked up at Kamisama, who continued, "The humans who have been blessed with these powers have become so arrogant. I dare not imagine if any of them had such divine power as these hundred..."

"He would have become a real tyrant," Fanel realized, his eyes widening at the thought.

Kamisama nodded in agreement.

Taking a deep breath, Fanel sighed and looked at Kamisama. "Why am I here, and especially why are you showing me this?"

Kamisama smiled and lifted his fan to the window. "Because I have watched you, and I think you are worthy of owning it."

Fanel's frown deepened. "What?"

"The God-hand," Kamisama stated, causing Fanel to panic and immediately search for the name of this power in the window. When he found it, he fell to the ground.

"You're laughing at me?" Fanel asked, feeling a mix of disbelief and hope.

"Nope," Kamisama replied casually. "You have just won the supreme power of the system, God's Hand. Congratulations, dear chosen one."
