God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains
Chapter 267 - 267: Complications

Keith first sent Miya to her room before he got back to his and closed the door behind him. Amelia silently glared at him while Clara leisurely continued to run the towel down her hair.

"Alright, I originally wanted to keep this talk for a few years into the future but well… the circumstances right now aren't really great and both of you must learn bout it to not get baited." Keith said and sighed as he walked towards the bed and sat down.

He then looked up at Amelia, and then at Clara before sighing once again, "Well firstly, I'm sorry for keeping this a secret for so long. I'm… not really like uhhh how do I even explain this? Hmm… you can consider it like, I have the memories of my past life."

"What?" Amelia blurted out as she gave him confused and surprised look.

Clara on the other hand, stopped wiping her hair and instead, used the towel to tie a knot on her head as she gave Keith a serious look, "Is this what you meant when you told me that there are some things that you can't really explain?"

"A part of it, yes. There's more to it than just my past life's memories." Keith said and clenched his fist as he felt nervous for no apparent reason. He then took out his pipe, like he always did and took a puff.

"Haaaa…." he exhaled absolutely nothing and opened up two system screens as he went back to his habit of reading people's minds.

'Well, they're surprisingly not angry?' he thought to himself as he looked at them and smiled, "Well, let me walk you through the whole thing then."

Both Amelia and Clara nodded while Keith scooted backwards and leaned against the pile of pillows, "In my past life, I was reading a very long novel and that novel basically was about this world. You remember Clark?" he asked as he put the pipe back into his pocket.

"Yeah, he's kind of an ass." Amelia commented and Keith nodded, "Well, I kinda liked him a lot since he was actually the main character of the novel. In a way, I wanted to be like him but once I came here and personally interacted with him, I changed my mind.

I could just tell that he had a thing for Clara so um… I kinda got Jealous and stuff. Well, thinking back to the past, it's kinda funny but I was pretty weak back then and feared that he'd steal her and what not…"

Clara couldn't stop herself from smiling when she heard this, but she kept silent and let him continue.

"Well, going back to the topic… I know it's hard to digest the fact that I'm originally from a different planet, but all I want you two to know is that even though I am, I still love you both a lot.

And it hurts to imagine myself without you guys." he said and let out a heavy exhale as he stared at the wall in front of him for a few seconds before he turned to look at the two of them.

"Anyways, this Emma person is actually the author of the book that I was reading and she's technically the goddess of this world." he said and then snapped his fingers to give the two of them the ability to chat with Emma.

"She's childish and annoying at times, but at the end of the day, she's been looking after me and helping me out the most. I'd probably be dead right now if it wasn't for her."

[Helooooo!! I've been shipping you guys with Keith from the very start!! And damn, you guys are very fiery on bed like whaaaaaat?! I mean, he kinda has infinite stamina so I get it but I'm kinda jealous you know…. I hope he'd put it i-]

Keith cut off the access and facepalmed before speaking, "Thisis what I meant when I said that she's annoying."

"I mean, I wouldn't mind it…" Amelia said as she looked at Keith, "Like, she saved your life. Are you dumb?"

"That's what I don't get with the people of this world! Just how are you guys okay with your partner getting into a relationship with multiple people? Don't you get jealous?"

[Hey, I love the world I created!] Emma said, but this time it was only visible to Keith.

Clara on the other hand, shrugged, "It's fine as long as you give us all the same care and affection. I'm fine with you having multiple partners as long as they don't cause problems to the existing dynamics between us."

"Yeah, and me on the other hand… I'd just die of jealously if you had even one extra partner. That's the thing about coming from an other world I guess… anyways, let's get back to the topic." he said and cleared his thoughts as his face turned serious.

"A few weeks ago… no, let me try to make it simple. This world has a mirror version of itself and in that mirror world, "Keith" got super strong and apparently destroyed it completely.

Now, he's here somehow and thanks to Emma, he's injured. He looks like me and is also way stronger than me, so if you see someone with a face that's the same as mine… wait no. Cuz even I look like myself.

My brain isn't fkin working. How do I even explain this?"

[Give them access. You're just way too stressed right now for your brain to function properly.]

'But I took a puff from the pipe.'

[There's a limit to everything, bitch. Your main fear is to face powerful opponents, pain comes second whether it is emotional or physical. And on top of that, you're basically fighting against a version of yourself who is way stronger than you currently. Just.. Let me do the talking please.]

"Alright…." Keith muttered and gave both his girls access to Emma.

[Alrighty listen up baby girls, Two similar worlds and one has been destroyed. An evil version of Keith is currently in this world and he WILL come for you once he finds out that Keith has a weakness, which is family.

Our Keith is way softer and cares a lot about you guys and Miya so the only thing that "Evil Keith" has to do, is to get his hands on you guys and the fight will just become so much more easier for him.

And Keith basically just wants you guys to know that you can't trust anyone. Not even him.]

[Buuuuut!!! He doesn't know a few things since I haven't told him all the information. In fact, he should first tell you about his powers before I tell you why there's no need to worry too much about you guys getting abducted by Keith's lookalike.]

[I'll leave the explaining of your powers to you, Keith.]

Keith nodded and began to explain how his powers work and once he was done he nodded, "Yeah, I'm technically a half god but well… I've got a long way to go."

"Wait… do we have those systems in us too?" Amelia asked with a frown on her face, "And you can read our minds through it…."

Keith hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, "Yeah, I can."

"And are you doing it right now?"

"…. Yes."

Amelia went silent with this as she stared at Keith with a complicated expression on her face.

"You… did you know from the start? That I had feelings for you?" she asked him even though she knew that the answer was yes. A huge part of her wanted him to tell her that he didn't, but reality hit her.

"Yes, I did." Keith said the truth even though he knew what she wanted, "And I think we should clear some things between us right now because my intentions for doing that aren't the same as you're thinking right now."

Amelia grit her teeth as she glared at him, "Get! Out! Of! My! Head!"

"….."

Amelia then turned to look at Clara, "Why are you just sitting like a doll right there? Don't tell me you have no problem with him being able to read our minds? Like, he can literally just do what we want him to do and all of it could have been fake! What if he just got together with us because we had something he wan-"

"Both you and I know that Keith isn't that kind of person." Clara cut her off, "When me and him started this relationship, he was the one who helped me escape the Sanders' family. He did it without asking for anything in return.

And when it comes to you. I already know why he didn't just go for you at the start even though he cared about you deeply. Do you know why? It's because I talked to him about it back then.

Guess what he told me? He told me that you Amelia, had started to hate yourself for having a flat chest. You started to hate yourself because you didn't feel like you were attractive enough for him.

And he wanted you to get confident in yourself and isn't that what you did? Well, technically you didn't cuz you asked your mother to give your back your real appearance.

But in a way, that was your true self and didn't Keith just accept your proposal to be his woman in an instant? And even after that, did he ever ignore you or make you feel like you made a mistake by choosing him? I don't think so.

What if he can read our minds? As far as I can tell, he's been using this very thing to keep us happy. If he didn't like us, he would have used it for something else entirely."
