Reading the system's penalty for his current quest, Ruthven was somewhat, at a loss for words.
Maybe he had forgotten, but back then, when the system was introducing itself, it had said that in every era, The God candidates that would be replacing the old Gods always numbered in the thousands.
"Sigh, It looks like you don't want me resting at all." Saying these words, Ruthven as if he hadn't moved for a while, like in his previous situation, started stretching his limbs.
"Well now, since am going to start a war.." With a pause, he looked at the system panel in the sky, and a smile crept up his face, "I might as well have some fun."
Countless thoughts ran wild inside Ruthven's head... massacres, conquests, invasions, etc...
All sorts of thoughts made their way into his mind, influencing his next move, but first...
"Where am I supposed to start this war??" he had to find his first victim, better yet, signs of any living thing nearby.
Looking all around him, except for the small crater he had created with the teleportation, it was all green and brown, Trees everywhere, covering every inch of his sight.
Heaving a sigh, Ruthven looked at his surroundings one last time before he would leave it all to luck.
He was going to follow a random direction and hopefully, it would lead him to his desired destination.
Taking his first step since the teleportation, Ruthven froze, hearing the system's most angelic artificial voice...
[Notice] The system Shall be undergoing an Upgrade for a certain period]
"Huh!? Wait what now!?"
'The system wasn't the best guide or anything, it was the opposite, but still, that didn't mean it could just up and leave' he thought.
What about the quest? What about his status, would he not be seeing it anymore!?
Wanting to ask the system more than just a few questions, Ruthven was about to sink into panic, when the system answered them all with one statement.
[Notice] A Beta of the Updated System Shall be available to use in the meantime.]
"Is... t.. that so?" with all his questions answered a sigh left Ruthven's mouth.
He slowly began to calm down and soon his head was thinking straight again, but then... Another question arose.
"H-how long?" He asked, "How long is the update going to be?"
[[Notice] The Update Should take approximately 3 years]
"Hey!! Are you trying to keep tabs on me?" hearing the system's response, quickly, Ruthven had asked.
Why take 3 years, the same Duration for the Quest?
Was the system trying to keep him busy? if so, why?
[.....Of course not.]
A lie, Ruthven thought as he listened to the system's unsure voice.
[Now till we meet again]
"But I still have questions." Those were the last words the system heard before disappearing.
Ruthven was quite disappointed at the sudden turn of events, but that didn't last long.
"Well, I guess there's no need to fret over it. Let's Check the Beta."With a little bit of enthusiasm Ruthven thought of the system panel.
The system quickly responded to his thoughts as they popped up in front of his face.
A Clear blue color that resembled the sky, Having High-tech patterns on it and showing what seemed to be his avatar at the top right corner, the beta system appeared.
"Status Window!" Ruthven said wanting to know how much had changed.

The amount of Information That Ruthven saw was more than he expected, But what shocked him the most was his race, age, and Level.
"Now? I've officially become a demon, how sad." Ruthven's Tone questioned The race he had been given, but not the vampire part as he had already seen that one coming with him being a blood god and all.
"..And what happened to my age why are there so many Question marks Next to it" Ruthven Counted The Question marks next to his age after realizing that His age was still missing Some pieces.
"Even my level has gone down. What the fuck is happening right now?"
Looking at his new stats, Ruthven couldn't help but rub his chin for a while.
"Well guess that's that." With a huge smile on his face, he continued to his once luck-chosen destination,
And within only a few steps, he stopped once more and called out his stats again.
His eyes this time focused on one single skill, [Death's Eyes], looking at the skill for less than a second, Ruthven felt shivers crawling at his back.
Memories of the tormenting Mind Zone surfaced, "All that, for one messily skill?" He questioned, wondering if it was worth it.
With no way to confirm it, He just shrugged his shoulders, and like previously done with Soul Eyes, he closed his eyes...
Opening them seconds later, [Death's Eyes] turned off.
"That's better." He said, continuing yet again, on the luck-chosen path.
