Chapter 7: Game of Gods (1)

That day after Rogue left, Enrique Nova managed to turn a whole family of three into believers of Mut.

Mr. Jones, your everyday civilian, took a loan from a small gang. Their interest rate was unbelievably high so three months into the contract, the loan of $3,000 had become $30,000. Mister Jones had the money to pay back his initial loan, but obviously the interest money was too much. So today the gang kidnapped their 11-year-old daughter while throwing threats to ruin her innocence and then selling her organs if Mr. Jones didn't give them their money in a week.

Enrique was familiar with this troupe as he was friends with many big and small gang leaders in his previous life, who liked to do these things. But he personally had no history with them. But technically, it was truly Mr Jones' fault for taking a loan from a clearly suspicious bunch. However, heroism was favoured towards the poor and Enrique saw this as an opportunity to pull Mr. Jones, his wife, and daughter, all three of them into Mut's religion.

So, he nicely beat the gang up and made them accept Mr. Jones' $3,000 before telling them to close the deal. Enrique doubted they'd try anything later since he was pretty nice when he beat them up.

Mister Jones was very grateful since to a father his daughter's chastity is more important than his own wife's, so he had converted religions in no time. His wife and daughter were the same, and according to Mut, the daughter's faith was actually the strongest of the three. She was a child after all.

After informing the family of the same- [Ways how to Pray to Mut], Enrique made his way back to the gang's hideout and beat them up. He did so while formulating his super-suit to take the form of tight golden spandex that covered his face as well. So even though the criminals might recognise him, they would have no photo to prove that "Pharaoh" was a villain who beat up criminals and stole their money. Because that's exactly what Enrique did next.

After raiding the gang off all their money, Enrique was disappointed to only reap $7,450 from them. In any case, he took the money and went to an IT Shop later on to buy components for a beast PC. He bought a TV too, different types of furniture, a fridge and everything else he needed, and hired a truck to take them to his home. He considered changing houses too but decided against it. He should save money for now and just buy a house later on.

Because if things went according to his plans, buying houses will not be hard in the upcoming few weeks.

["Just what are you planning?"] He heard Mut speak in his mind as he placed his PC under his table. His pieces of furniture were already laid around the apartment nicely, and his PC was in his bedroom, under a table. ["I am very satisfied with your job, but I smell something interesting being cooked. Do you plan to share?"]

She hadn't inquired about his failure to keep Rogue to himself. Maybe thinking it would hurt his pride or whatever, but she did seem interested in his current actions.

Enrique connected the PC with its monitor and turned it on. He watched as the neon lights lit up and the PC came to life. He sat in front of the Monitor, in a comfy chair, and smiled at the air.

"I plan to make a game." He said. "From the place I came from, I was actually a pretty decent programmer." And by 'decent', he meant world-class. That's how a nobody like him managed to rise in the rankings of billionaires, to begin with, by being insanely talented with computers. "Not that great compared to some people here, like Stark, but I got my fair share of medals. Anyway, as I was saying, I plan to make a game. A game where people will worship and pray to you, my Goddess."

["Smooth, but..."] Mut's sceptical voice sounded out in his head. ["Will that work though? They wouldn't actually be praying to me, there shouldn't be any faith to it."]
