God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Every single creature, including humans could awaken and if the awakened ones bred with each other, then they would produce an offspring that was also awakened. This rule also applied to humans, but thanks to the extreme diversity of their awakened abilities, they were unable to follow the same path as the regular animals.

That was just one reason, but the other one was thanks to the divine barrier protecting the continent. It stopped humans from producing an awakened offspring even if they fulfilled all the conditions.

The conditions were simple. The human parents must have awakened abilities that synergise, for example, a mother with the ability to create flames and a father with the ability to control the heat of his surroundings.

While there was still a play of chances, if they did give birth to an offspring that was awakened, then that meant that the child would either have the ability of the mother, the father or a combination of both.

Which could potentially be the ability to create flames and control the heat of the flames.

Though, it has to be noted that the possibility for an awakened child to be born is 50%, there was a huge potential that was being wasted in the main continent where humans resided. There were other continents, and islands far away where humans lived, and these guys weren't restricted by any gods.

Just like the animals, they they could stack awakened abilities upon each other and thanks to their intelligence, they managed to figure out all the rules and restrictions. They were extremely strong, incredible awakened abilities in current times after centuries worth of awakened abilities being passed down.

Though, there were limits to this. One of the few was that if two people with the exact same awakened abilities, copulated, then their offspring would have a 50% chance of getting the same awakened ability and not a stronger version. The other 50% chance was to be born as a normal person.

As Keith recalled all of this information, he sighed as he could sense the impending doom. He stared at the fish meat in his hands, knowing full well that it was just a regular fish that managed to increase the hardness of it's scales and it's average size.

There were far worse things in other islands and even in the ocean waters.

'Let's focus on the present.' he thought as he did his best to suppress his fears and anxiety. He had always been an overthinker, but this trait of his would always show itself in the worst of times. His usual pessimistic attitude would also be amplified, giving birth to anxiety.

He took a long and deep breath before standing up, "I'll take a stroll around the camp. I just need some time alone." he said as he looked at the others and left.

He didn't go far, but stayed pretty close to the camp, the sound of fire crackling still reached his ears. He gently placed his hand on a nearby tree and looked up at the sky.

''Hey Red Snow, why did you you even bring me here... or maybe I should ask, how did you do it? I hated by previous life, but I don't like being in a situation where I'm facing impending doom. I'm not your brave main character, you know?' he said, knowing full well, that she was keeping an eye on him.

There was no response even after Keith waited for a few seconds, but then his gaze fell on the leaf that had fallen in front of him a few seconds ago. He picked it up and saw a few words cut into it.

I don't have answers either. But I believe in you.

He stared at the leaf for a while before sighing, 'Of course you say that. You're not the one who's thrown into danger, are you?' he thought before tearing the leaf into multiple pieces before tossing it away.

He didn't bother waiting for an answer and continued walking. As time passed, he slowly managed to suppress his fears and began to think with pure rationality.

'Well, it's better not to waste this opportunity. There are thousands of fishes of a similar size to the one that Laura caught for us, so we won't have much of a problem with food. I should make use of this and strengthen my body as soon as possible. Maybe I should go ask Seraphelle what her awakened ability even does.

She's as muscular as steroid injecting gym maniacs in my old life, but there's no way she can maintain that form for an entire day if that is her awakened ability.' he thought as he turned to look at her.

She was talking to Edward while sitting on one of the tree stumps. Keith didn't feel any kind of attraction towards her and this was because he didn't have a thirst for overly muscular women.

He did have a thing for girls who were fit, but things changed when they had too much muscle. He respected their work ethic and dedication to their goals, but they were just not his type.

He gobbled up the rest of the fish that was in his hands and headed back to the camp to stuff himself with more. He had a goal to accomplish and he'd do it no matter what happened as long as he didn't put his team in danger.

As he got close to the firepit, he saw Clara cooking up some meat.

"Is everyone done with their dinner?" he asked as he crouched down beside her, his eyes fixated on the fish.

She silently nodded, using a stick to flip the fish meat, "Yes. They said they're full and as you can see, they just want to sleep after such a long and tiring day."

Keith looked at the others who did look tired. They had walked for miles and then began to set up a camp, all of with consumed a lot of their energy. Now that their stomachs were full, the only thing they wanted to do was rest their tired bodies.

"Looks like you're hungrier that them." he said, smirking.

Clara shook her head immediately, "No, this is for you. I know you eat a lot, and since there was so much meat left, I thought I'll just cook some while you ate your first chunk of meat."
