The Ten Pledges (No Game No Life Part 2)

Everyone's faces were full of fear, shock, or desire. Some of them jumped back. Ryu looked normal. He watched the anime, so he knew all of this already.

Tet let out a mischievous chuckle, enjoying the reaction he provoked. "Greetings, travelers," he said, his voice carrying an air of mystery.

"In this world, known as Disboard, conflicts are resolved through games instead of wars. And it seems that your current mission from what I heard is for one of you to become the King of Imanity."

Ryu could sense the gears turning in the minds of his fellow villains as Tet's words sank in.

He knew that the concept of settling conflicts through games rather than brute force was a novel and intriguing idea for them.

Pandora's eyes widened with interest, her curiosity piqued by the unique nature of Disboard. "Games, you say? How fascinating. It seems like a realm where one's intellect and strategy take precedence over sheer power."

Tet nodded, pleased with Pandora's astute observation. "Indeed. Disboard is a world where cunning, wit, and strategic thinking reign supreme. It is a realm that rewards cleverness and resourcefulness rather than raw strength."

Esdeath's lips curled into a sly smile, her competitive nature ignited by the prospect of challenging opponents through games. "So, it's a test of skill and cunning. I like the sound of that. Count me in for this challenge."

Gilgamesh, ever confident in his abilities, crossed his arms and smirked. "A kingdom won through games? How quaint. But fear not, for I, the King of Heroes, shall dazzle this realm with my unparalleled prowess."

All for One's brows furrowed in confusion. "Imanity? What's that?"

Tet smiled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Imanity refers to the race of humans in this world. To become their king, you must excel in games and outwit your opponents."

"I also need to discuss the Ten Pledges"

Tet, the god of Disboard, continued his explanation, floating in the air with a sense of grandeur. "The Ten Pledges are the fundamental rules that govern this world. They ensure fairness, justice, and order in all games played within Disboard."

"The First Pledge: All murder, war, and robbery are forbidden in this world." Tet explained with a firm yet benevolent tone.

"The Second Pledge: All conflict in this world will be resolved through games."

Tet's voice resonated with authority as he continued, "The Third Pledge upholds the binding nature of the game's outcome. In games, each player will bet something that they agree is of equal value…"

"…The Ninth Pledge states that in the name of God, the previous rules may never be changed."

"And finally, the Tenth Pledge: Let's all have fun and play together!"

Tet's vibrant eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he concluded his explanation of the Ten Pledges. He smiled warmly at the group of villains, his presence radiating a sense of wonder and mystery.

"Now that you are acquainted with the rules of Disboard and the mission at hand, I bid you farewell, travelers," Tet announced.

"May your journey be filled with thrilling games, unexpected encounters, and personal growth. Remember, the path to becoming the King of Imanity is not just about victory but also about enjoying the game. Have a good journey!"

"A God…" All For One muttered under his breath.

Ryu rolled his eyes slightly.

It seemed like All For One was going through his chuunibyou phase.

"Let's go to the Kingdom of Imanity. From there, we'll be able to become the King of Imanity"

"How do we get there?" Gilgamesh asked.

"The System told me. We'll go in the direction of the closest Rook piece. We should find it there" Ryu said, recalling a specific scene from No Game No Life.

Ryu lied about the system telling him to keep suspicion off of how he knew information about this world.

It was better off this way.

"And you won't care to share the information with us?" All for One asked, trying to guilt Ryu.

"Of course, I won't. Are you an idiot? How do you expect me to trust you guys? You guys are a group of villains for god's sake. Think of it as leverage against you guys" Ryu replied.

All for One could only coldly chuckle at Ryu's response, finding no way to refute him.

They all went on with their journey, and it didn't take long for the group to reach the Kingdom of Imanity.

Most of them were in shape, so it only took half an hour of walking to reach the destination.

"This is the whole population of Humans?" Gilgamesh said with utter shock. Compared to Earth, this was incredibly small.

Ryu nodded in agreement. With Imanity losing lots of territory and resources, it was given that their population would be reduced this much.

"Let's get ourselves a room to stay for the night for now. First, we need money for daily necessities, and I know how to get some. You guys wait here." Ryu said grinning deviously.

"It looks like Sora and Shino still haven't arrived. Hahaha. That means that hot gambling lady is mine" Ryu said, making his way to the back of the inn.

He finally found who he was looking for.

On a table was a beautiful woman confidently perched on a table, her flowing dirty blonde hair framing her enchanting face.

She effortlessly commands attention with her choice of clothing, wearing a figure-hugging ensemble that accentuates her curves.

She daringly wore a low-cut top revealing a tantalizing view of the alluring cleavage of her massive tits.

She was smoking hot!

"Hey, do you want to play a game with me?" Ryu said before taking a seat down in the seat in front of her.

"Sure thing. What do you want to bet?" The gambling lady paused at Ryu's assertiveness before responding.

"How about this? If I win, then you belong to me, and if I lose then I belong to you" Ryu said with a sly grin. "We bet each other"

"Are you an idiot? Why would I sell myself in a mere game?" The Gambler Lady said, rolling her eyes.

"Oh really now. Think of all the things you can do to me in bed~" Ryu said seductively and playfully with a charming smile.

He found it enjoyable to tease beautiful women.

The Gambler Lady blushed as Ryu said that.
