God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains
Chapter 47: Underground Cage's Legend: The Bone Crusher

Keith took on the job of a mentor and used the knowledge he had from reading the novel to help Vincent out. One of the reasons to his actions was that he himself did not have the opportunity to practice or try things out, so he decided to see Vincent do the trial and error.

Hours quickly passed and once 2 to 3 hours passed after noon, Keith sent out a message for Vincent to take a break. Keith himself wanted to get some rest as he had to stay awake at night to watch the fight.

Both of them took a nice nap, but Keith had some trouble sleeping as the boat wasn't exactly stable. A few hours after sun set, he groggily woke up and grabbed a long loaf of bread that was wrapped up in a cloth and placed in his suitcase.

He tore it into four parts and put three of them back into the cloth before he closed the suitcase. As he took a bite, he opened up his system to check what Vincent was up to.

The kid was standing in the middle of the crowd while he watched a fight happened inside the cage. Both the fighters were bruised and bloody, but they continued to hit each other. Minutes slowly passed as Keith watched the two men fight while the spectators screamed random things.

'So damn deadly... I could technically fight there if I wanted to make money, but there's no way I'm going to do that when I have other options.' he thought and knew himself very well.

If possible, he'd always avoid a direct conflict but there were still certain situations where he knew that he'd ball his fist to deliver a punch. But an underground cage fight was not one of those situations.

Three more fights occurred and each one of them went on for more than forty minutes with one of them crossing the one hour mark.

'These fights are kinda boring... but it's hard to look away. The business makes sense now.' he thought as he saw Vincent walk over to the stage confidently.

The moment he put his foot into the cage, the woman began to shout, "And for the final fight of the night! Our widely known newbie, the rabid dog! Also called the battle dog! I mean battle god! Tonight, he'll be facing against one of our favourite brawlers, please welcome, the great Bone Cruuuuusherrrr!"

Vincent felt depressed when he heard the announcement. He was called a dog twice while his opponent got a hyped introduction. He wanted to bury his face into the ground to hide from all the shame, but forced himself to stand still.

From one end of the room, a normal looking guy walked in while wearing a cloth mask that covered his face except his eyes and nose.

"Once again, everyone cheer!! Cheer for the Bone Crusher!!"

"Oraaaaa"

"Bone Crusshheeeeeeer!"

"Marry meee!"

"Break that doggy's bones!"

Bone crusher raised his arm up to wave at the people as he walked towards the ring. He then stopped right before walking into the cage and roared loudly.

Keith who was watching his antics couldn't help but replace it funny as he didn't really sound intimidating. Unfortunately, it was only after Bone crusher walked into the cage, did Keith understand what Vincent had to deal with.

As Bone crusher roared, the people around him roared as well, hyping him up as much as they could, which added to Vincent's nervousness.

'Oh god... accepted the quest and bet on myself but now... ugh. Just what in the hell is his awakened abi- damn.'

Bone crusher got into the cage and the staff locked the door behind him.

"Urrrgh!" he let out a grunt with a smirk on his face as he kept his eyes on Vincent. Muscles grew at a rapid pace, making him look like a steroid abuser back on Keith's old planet.

His forearms were the size of an adult muscular thigh and his biceps were even thicker. His height remained the same, which made him look a bit funny to Keith but the awe in his heart didn't change.

Vincent cursed his luck that exact second as he stared at the muscle monster in front of him.

"Can I give up?" he asked meekly, but no one could hear his words as the crown was screaming at the top of their lungs.

""CRUSH HIS BONES! CRUSH HIS BONES!""

Just as he felt like running away, he suddenly felt a wave of warmth wash over his body. A system screen popped up in front of him too.

[Physical Ability Boost Active.]

[Bonus: Physical regeneration boost Active.]

[System Administrator cheers you on!]

'Huh? A system administrator? Is that the person who controls my system? Or is this person actually a god?' he asked himself. He had too many questions but almost no answers.

'I can try to ask the system later, but let's focus on the fight for now.' he thought as he smacked his cheeks, trying to distract himself from unwanted thoughts.

[System Advice: Dodge his attacks for a while to keep the tension up and once things get hyped up, go for the kill with your flames.]

"ALRIGHTT!" Vincent screamed as he smirked at the guy in front of him, "Come catch me, you damn muscle piggy!"

He was fried up, but he never expected the buff muscle man in front of him to be fast. Bone crusher closed the distance in just a second before sending a powerful punch towards the shocked Vincent.

Seeing the large fist fly towards him, he brought both his arms forward and crossed them to form an X, hoping to block the punch. The next moment he felt immense pain assault his arms, but he also felt a certain warmth that counter acted the pain, healing him at an incredibly fast pace.

'This is the perfect time to adapt to his guy's speed and strength since the system is giving me buffs. I won't get a chance like this so easily.'

As he thought, he dashed to the side and tried to circle around Bone Crusher, only to see a large muscular shoulder closing in on him.
