I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 293
293 – Role Play #4
293 – Role Play # 4
『It’s strange.』
Death bobbed his head left and right.
I couldn’t read his facial expression, but his attitude was as if he had witnessed something that shouldn’t have happened.
『Victor Avon’s autograph. 』
Is it a story about being burned to death by the dragon’s fire?
It was time to think like that.
“Disaster. Death by foot. Fall. Venomous snake. Civil affairs. Crush. Sudden death. Necrosis. Starvation. Asphyxiation. Excuse me. Teacher. Acknowledgment. History. Jet. Explosion─.』
Why are there so many expected causes of death?
“Isn’t something wrong?”
It was a time when I too was embarrassed.
Death opened its strong jaws and announced the end to me.
『All fatal wounds. The resistance die value is 9 or more.』
“…”
9.
Since I suffered a serious fatal wound, it seems that I can only resist death if I get a score of 9 or higher.
But 9.
Since that die is an 8-sided die, the numbers on the die can only go up to 8.
It is impossible to get 9.
At that time, the skeleton added a word.
“Correction. Victor Avon. Holds 2 ‘Four Leaf Clover’. Resistance correction based on luck level. Resistance to death value. 8.』
Luck value.
It seemed like it corrected my odds a little.
As for “Four-Leaf Clover,” It is the one Rose gave to her during the dormitory’s “Honeycomb Commotion” And the one Arnoy picked because he was bored. I had two like that.
9.
The probability of getting a 9 on an eight-sided die is 0.
But the probability of getting 8 is not 0.
1/8.
It is truly a fateful number.
Zech.
The skeleton’s hand holds the dice.
My life and death are determined by this strange skeleton.
Now you want me to become a prisoner waiting for someone else’s judgment?
That can’t be possible.
“I am.”
『… 』
“I will throw it myself.”
No matter how stubborn I am, I can’t read the skull’s expression.
However, looking at the skull’s dark blue eyes, I could tell that it was very worried.
“This. One entertainment. The value of the dice is absolute.』
Grumbling.
The skull’s eyes are burning.
Sreuk.
He handed me the dice again with his bony hand
『Either die. Either live.』
It was a skeleton that made a strange wind noise.
Are you smiling?
Is my life nothing more than a tool for fun?
No, it’s not just this guy.
Everyone who looked down at this map must have been the same.
One game of dice.
I was very angry at the thought that all the effort and everything I had done so far would inevitably disappear.
“After all, this world is a prison.”
Zech.
I held the dice in my hand.
Equipping artifact items.
I can feel my overall abilities increasing.
“8.”
Number 8.
It has to come out.
Zech.
I threw the dice in the air.
The dice soon fell on the map and started spinning.
Since it was an 8-sided die, rolling on the board took quite a long time.
“…”
“…”
A tense situation.
I lifted the “Weather change card” I was holding in my hand and put it down.
Slur.
The dice finally stop.
8.
“…”
I lived.
Although I didn’t show it, I was swallowing relief inside.
『Saving throw against Sosa. Success. Resistance.』
“Then, will I survive?”
“Disaster. Death by foot. Fall. Venomous snake. Civil affairs. Crush. Sudden death. Necrosis. Starvation. Asphyxiation. Excuse me. Teacher. Acknowledgment. History. Jet. Even if resistance is implemented through explosions, etc.』
Does this mean I have to throw the number of dice that will be the cause of my death?
It seems to be more than ten times.
They all have to be spaced by 8.
This is crazy.
“Well, that’s impossible…” ” .”
Tutorial also showed a pessimistic outlook on this situation.
‘Death’ in the form of a skull also seemed to think so.
Everyone would think that way.
But, I am different.
“Promises must be kept.”
* * *
「Title: Hey, you can play Goinmul too (8) – Joukon edition.
D&A has many dice-type items.
In general, it is an item whose ability level or judgment is determined based on the number.
But actually, I know that no one uses it that honestly. LOL
Still, let me explain for the newbies who will come in.”
Dice Control
The so-called Zukon technique was a technique that could be used by any user who spent some time on D&A.
Of course, detailed control and success probability may vary depending on the time spent in stagnation.
To me, ‘probability’ is irrelevant.
「In fact, the value of a dice-type item is set as soon as it is thrown and before the effect ends.
But what if there was a way to change that value before this needlessly long and well-made effect ends? Surprisingly simple.”
The method was really simple.
While the dice item’s effect is running, you can just take the item and put it back on.
Then, it seems that the determined result value is modified with a small lag.
I don’t know how it’s programmed or what variables cause that effect.
All I know is that this way I can aim for the dice value I want.
It’s like this.
“Well, the number 8 came out six times in a row… !”
The tutorial was surprising.
Of course, I was calm.
After the fight with Nyx, I had enough time to roll this unfamiliar eight-sided die to whatever value I wanted.
This dice is so magical that it always takes about 5 seconds to roll.
It’s not even a task for me to roll an 8 through dice control during those 5 seconds.
A precursor before each number appears.
For example, shaking.
Because I memorized all the rolling sounds.
Throw it 100 times.
It means that you are confident that you can land 8 100 times.
『A small change in behavior. With that. Is the value of cause and effect newly adjusted? The world. Even small changes can change the results.』
The skeleton seemed to have noticed something.
I don’t know what he was saying, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping me or interfering with me.
Degurrr.
Finally, I resisted all death variables.
“How. Are you doing it?』
The skeleton seems curious about the method.
You must be curious.
Everyone reacts that way when they see it for the first time.
Originally, I would have informed you kindly.
Most people who are curious are people who want to tell and tell what they know. But this guy is dangerous.
More than anyone I’ve ever seen.
There’s no telling what kind of chaos would arise if this guy were to manipulate the dice as he pleased.
“I won’t tell you.”
『…』
You probably don’t mean to harm me.
But the skeleton blew out the wind.
“Dice. The outcome of fate is an absolute law. That’s the rule. Victor Avon. Resisted all signs. This is my first time like this. It’s fun.』
“Is it fun?”
“But. That your soul is in the pantheon. Sounds like they are already considered dead. Your body. It crumbled. Miserably.』
“…”
That’s right.
Even when I think about it, I am baked to a crisp.
From noble mtl dot come
It wouldn’t be difficult to recover with something like a potion.
『But it’s still before the funeral. I can help you. Life and death. Even though they look like parallel lines, they are actually like wheels that rotate in conjunction. The price is how to move the dice.』
Is this a deal?
He suddenly speaks fluently.
The eye light also turned red.
It was like a different person.
I thought for a moment.
“Good.”
You have to lose here to get your money’s worth.
As expected, it was good that they didn’t give away the method.
You can now use it as a transaction card.
“Then, will I come back to life?”
“Different. No one can bring the dead back to life. That’s the rule. You just. Death is just denied.』
Resurrection and denial of death.
I wonder what the difference is.
『Now drink the river of forgetfulness. What happens in this pantheon. No one on earth should remember it.』
If it is the river of oblivion, is it the water pouring from the shower?
Drinking that.
『Drink it and it will allow you to return to where you came from. Then I will live without remembering what happened here.』
“…”
『Why are you hesitating to answer?』
“No…”
Now that I think about it…
“It was kind of fun.”
Play games and meet strange nymphs.
It made me a little sad to think that I would forget all about it.
“Tutorioll, I owe you a lot. I’m just saying this right now. “I brought the tutorial here on my own, so don’t do anything wrong.”
『Do you care about the little nymph? That’s funny. I got it.』
Thanks goodness.
It pricks my conscience if he gets fired or goes hungry for no reason.
Even if you end up forgetting everything.
『Nymph of the third area. It must have river water.』
“Well, that’s right… !”
Tutorial was astonished.
Soon he took out an empty glass, poured some water from the canteen, and handed it to me.
I said to the guy.
“Goodbye, Tutorioll. See you again.”
“I have no intention of seeing you again… ! This guy quickly goes back to the world he came from… !”
“No, we will see each other again.”
I looked around.
I felt like I knew where this place was the moment I looked at the board game map.
“Get the crown. Finding a map. We will break through the underground dungeons and return to this lowest and deepest place. Everyone, wait until then.”
Shower room.
The whereabouts of souls who have lost their memories.
In many ways, I still have a lot of questions.
Soon the skeleton laughed.
『Don’t wait. Leave the eighth seat empty. With four turns left.』
Zech.
I took a sip of my glass.
Cool water.
The water tasted like it was missing something by this percentage.
『Then go.』
* * *
When I came to my senses.
I was lying on a strange iron plate.
“…”
There are a lot of strange plants on my body.
“Where am I?”
I looked around.
All I see is a cool bed.
Soon I was able to figure out that this was a morgue where ‘corpses’ were kept.
It would be better to get out of here.
I have to meet everyone quickly.
And then suddenly… I wondered if it was really right to head outside like this.
The fact that I was in the morgue rather than the nurse’s office means that the verdict of ‘death’ was confirmed.
Officially, I, Victor, have become a dead human being.
Look at me suddenly wandering outside.
「A person who came back from the dead」.
I feel like there are a ton of problems with this.
It will be annoying.
Maybe they will try to kill me again.
It could also be mistaken for something like ‘Mine’.
It’s time for the magic to appear in the academy.
Should I meet my companions?
… Why am I becoming a target of Seonghwangcheong for no reason?
“…”
My worries deepen.
I don’t know.
This is my first time experiencing something like this.
“… Rather, I didn’t lose my memory.”
Tutorial, did you pour peach-flavored water from the fountain into your glass instead of water from the River of Oblivion?
Making mistakes like a rat here.
The seniors deserve to be scolded.
But thanks to him, I think things will become easier.
“The Pantheon was crowded with nymphs.”
Find 100 nymphs.
It might really be possible.
I want to take Arnoy there.
Sreuk.
At that time, I felt someone coming from far away in the hallway.
━The funeral is coming soon.
━Then, now we have to give Victor some embalming treatment.
━You’re sticking a hook into your nose, right? Taking out the brain and stuffing it with cotton.
What are you putting in my nose?
What do you take out and what do you fill in?
“…”
I thought it would be better to run away from here.
─ Emptying stagnant water, breaking through walls.
Soon I heard screams from the morgue I had escaped from.
━Sigh, the body is gone!
━What!
“You got scolded.”
* * *
Death is heavy.
He just sits in front of the table.
『… 』
Ever since Death lost the dice on his turn, it has always been quiet in front of this table.
Everyone doesn’t know where they are and what they’re doing.
Jeopuk.
So when Death felt a presence in this “Room of Dice,” He couldn’t help but feel interested.
『The most unexpected player is back.』
Zech.
The person sitting in front of him was a being with a brown beard that looked like roots.
Death said.
『Was it true that you were pretending to be a monster? What should I call you now?』
“It’s Lesh. As you can see.”
『Geek. After you stole one of the dice and ran away, the game became strange.』
“No, you probably dropped the dice on Ludens Island on purpose. “You can play a game with one dice, but it is impossible to play without one.”
It was Death who smiled to himself at Lesh’s words.
Lesh looked at the map.
Slowly with my only eye.
“A game that has been played over and over again. It’s about time I got tired of it. “After all, there is no such thing as a person who enjoys playing one game forever.”
『…』
“Change the map. Recruiting new players. Try writing a new screenplay. In the end there. It’s boring. Now.”
『…』
“Anyway. This is the second time you have saved someone from the dead. No matter how much you break the rules to that extent… I don’t have to say anything more than that. “This time, it won’t end with nothing but bones remaining.”
Death pondered for a moment. And then he said.
『This time is different from when I was a girl. I didn’t save you. He survived. This guy achieved his own destiny.』
“…”
『They called it prison. Ludens.』
“Is it a prison? This happy world? “He’s a shameful guy.”
『… Lesh, one day your era will come to an end, just like ours. Dawn will come too. It would be best not to think that your laughter will last forever─.』
“Shh.”
When Lesh placed his hand on his index finger his, Death fell silent.
Even when I open my mouth, not even a sound comes out.
“You talk too much. The punishment for breaking the rules this time and saving someone’s life is your eternal silence. Basically, dead people don’t speak. Right?”
Death could no longer speak.
It just quietly flashes its eyes.
Looking at him, Lesh smiled as if he was now satisfied.
“But it’s dawn. It’s a good sound. Let me take note. Dawn of the last chapter. “Isn’t it good in the name of entertainment?”
『… 』
The man laughed next to the skeleton, which could no longer respond.
Like an eternal game. It was a laugh that seemed like it would never end.
