Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Time Reversal!" He muttered.

Everything turned black for a moment before he found himself standing in the stands. He looked at the watch and saw that he had actually traveled back in time by half an hour.

He hadn't made the bet yet.

"No. 6?" Alice said.

"No. 6 is good, but I have a feeling that no.12 might win," Ryder told her with a knowing smile on his face.

"Hah, Kids these days. They don't know anything. No.12 is the weakest. The girl is right. No. 6 will win," The guy that was standing near him on the stand commented.

"Maybe," Ryder simply replied.

He brought his phone out and placed the bet on no.12. He placed 10000 dollars on horse no.12 that had the odds of 1:75.

The race began, and soon, it was over.

The guy that was standing behind Ryder had his mouth wide open as he saw no.12 winning. Even Alice was shocked.

"Wow, you were right," Alice said to Ryder, and Ryder simply smiled.

He didn't say that he had bet on no. 12.

Ryder now had 750k dollars in his account, but he again placed them on a bet. He placed all his money on no. 2 that had the odds of 1:5.

The race began and finished, and the results were just as he had expected. He again won.

Ryder now had 3.75 million dollars to his name. He had become a millionaire in an instant.

There was only a smirk on his face, though he didn't express any excessive excitement.

"How was the race?" Ryder asked Alice.

"It was good, but I don't enjoy horse racing," Alice replied.

"Oh? Alright. Come with me. I'll take you someplace special. There's something else I need to buy," Ryder smilingly said as he held her hand and left the Arena.

Back in the office in the Arena, a man was sitting on a chair and typing something on his laptop when someone knocked on his door.

"Come inside," he said.

A person entered the room. It was a girl that had a tablet in her hand.

"What happened?" The man inquired.

"Sir, A person, just won 3.75 million dollars on betting," the girl informed the man.

"It's just 3.75 million, is there really a need to fuss so much? People win more here and lose even more," The man casually said.

"That's not it, Sir. Our data show that it was that man's first time here. He made 2 bets, and both times he got it right. He earned 3.75 million from just 10000!" the girl replied.

Her words finally managed to attract the man's attention as he looked at her.

"Interesting. He might just be lucky. There are a few people like that. Still, keep an eye on him. Tell me if he comes back here," the man said before he started looking back at his laptop.

"Yes, Sir," the girl replied before she left her room.

Ryder and Alice were standing in front of the biggest car showroom in the city.

It was a Ferrari showroom. There was a time when there were many supercar makers that were competing for prominence in the market space, but Ferrari had managed to keep up with time because of their thirst for innovation and keeping up with the times. It was the most selling car brand in the world.

They now made Super Cars as well as affordable cars for the ones that couldn't afford the expensive cars.

"Brother? Why are we here? Are you buying a car?" Alice asked in surprise.

"Yup," Ryder said to her with a cheeky grin on his face.

"Did the app you develop get popular?"

"Yeah, it's going quite good. I earned some money from it. I can afford a car now. Let's go," Ryder said as he held her hands again and walked towards the showroom.

There were 2 showrooms of Ferrari there, and Ryder chose the left one.

"Wait! You're going the wrong way! This is the Supercar building. That one there is the one where they sell affordable ones!" Alice reminded him in a worried tone.

"Don't worry about that," Ryder replied.

They entered the showroom. There were many cars there. All of these cars were supercars that were said to be able to move like the wind. Each of these cars was worth more than what an average person could earn after years of hard work.

"Hello Sir, How may I help you," A salesman walked up to them.

Alice just lowered her head in embarrassment. She felt like they were soon about to be insulted for coming here despite not being rich.

"I would like to buy a car. Can you show me your best model?" Ryder said casually without showing any worries on his face.

"Of Course, Sir. Please come with me," The salesman politely said as he took them towards the closest car.

"This is one of our top models. Ferrari 996. It uses the same Octa-turbo X36 24.0-liter engine with 2,500 hp and 2,600 Nm of torque as Ferrari 497, Ferrari Sport, and Ferrari Z24. It is the new 'most expensive car in the world.' Priced only at $35 million," The man said smilingly.

Ryder was stunned at the price, but he had already expected that. He already had a car in his mind, but he just wished to show off at the moment.

"This is good, but I need the electric variant. I heard the Ferrari Whirlwind E is the newest model at the moment amongst the electrical?" Ryder casually inquired.

"Ah, Right, Sir. That's our company's latest model. Please come with me. I'll show you," The man said as he took them to a different section.

He stopped before a styling black car.

"This is our newest electrical supercar; Whirlwind E. Its design is loosely based on our supermodel from an old era, the Spyder. It can achieve a max speed of 400 miles per hour. Although it's not as fast as our 996, it will never let you feel like it lacks anything,"
