Chapter 31

The dice rolled for quite a while.

The image of dice rolling was inside of Seols interface.

- So this is the dice that you roll when you change your location, right?

- Yeah, just think of it like a weather report for your vacation lol. Like sunny, cloudy, etc.

- You could reset it by changing to another key location afterward but theres no decent one around Nobira

- So basically if he rolls super low, he just has to deal with it for 1 Adventure cycle, right?

- Yeah but its a super low chance to roll low anyway. Its fine if its average, he just cant roll a 1 or 2.

- Then thats a relief.

Rattle Rattle Rattle

And finally, the dice stopped rolling.

[Travel Luck Dice has rolled a 2.]

[You are quite unlucky.]

[The Adventure you undertake near Nobira now has several variables added to it.]

[The Adventure you undertake near Nobira now is a little more dangerous.]

[The Adventure you select near Nobira now has a certain chance of forcibly changing to a Sudden Adventure.]

[Your Adventure is now considerably dangerous.]

[However, if you are able to clear the Adventure despite your awful luck, you will gain a big opportunity.]

[Come out has donated 300 Madness!]

[Who the fuck jinxed it, huh? A 2 came out because of you.]

- He just cant roll a 2 or lower (A 2 came out).

- Bwahahaha (*) LMFAOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

- I cant believe it actually ended up happening!

- Our world is very meticulously crafted cliches call for jinxes!

Seol scowled.

Even though he tried to start off his 2nd Key Location with a new mind, it started off with multiple ominous sentences.

This is exactly why players prepared for everything before changing their location.

Supplies, potential growth, Adventures, etc.

There were many points of concern whenever you were faced with a trial like that.

That was why most players prepared themselves by being at least 1 level above the minimum. It was exactly for these kinds of unfortunate circumstances.

Regardless, there probably wont be any big problems. And even if there was a problem, I should easily be able to take care of it with my current strength.

As long as Seol had Jamad and Karuna, there were low odds of anything actually being a problem for him.

There were no cities around Nobira that could be considered a Key Location.

If you excluded Nobira, the only things around the Great Forest were small towns.

Going to a town, which had bad infrastructure, to avoid your luck was a stupid choice as well. Not to mention the fact that you could still get unlucky in that town too.

I should just think of it as an opportunity to get more rewards.

- Why do I think hes glad he rolled low since he can get more rewards?

- Because its written on his face!

- No way! I hope he slips on a banana on the street!

- I hope he has hair in his food!

- I hope he accidentally shits himself when he tries to fart!

- Thats difficult even if you roll a 1

- Sorry, I was just projecting I have a bad stomach

Still, there were reasons why most people didnt consider rolling low a bonus.

Even though the other parts were manageable, having the Adventure that you chose change to a Sudden Adventure was extremely dangerous.

I just have to avoid getting the Sudden Adventure.

As Seol was praying to not be faced with a Sudden Adventure this time, he slowly walked to the center of the city

Hahahaha! I didnt think youd come back alive.

It wasnt a joke, old man. If I really fell off then my corpse would be spread through the Great Forest in chunks. Being a ruins hunter is awful.

Thats the charm of ruins. You enter ruins because people weaker than you are able to go and leave but its also a place where people stronger than you can die if they make a mistake.

Nobira, the city of ruins hunters.

Nobira was the only city near the Great Forest which was filled with ruins.

It looks like the transferees and the residents are getting along well here.

Seol didnt have the worst first impression of Nobira.

The people who seemed to be transferees melded fluidly into the city. It had a completely different atmosphere from Kongory which had the transferees and citizens on edge against each other.

This might be due to Nobiras unique disposition?

The residents of a town who did hard labor work often had rough personalities but they were just as easy to open to those who worked with them. They were treated as friends just by working together.

The majority of the residents of Nobira earn their living through hunting ruins. And as such, hunting ruins was treated as an important job.

And the most important thing for hunting ruins was simply having people who were willing to hunt ruins.

Nobira became active with the huge influx of transferees.

Famous ruins hunters, like Borgo, who Seol previously met, often led groups of people.

All of these combat-oriented transferees were a blessing to the residents of Nobira who had all sorts of different jobs instead.

And to check Nobiras mood, Seol first headed to the Adventurer Association. He checked the posts which had been left on Nobiras community.

[ (NEW) [<WaitSeriouslyPlease>s Post]

[Post Date: A week ago]

[Title: This ruins hunter boomer is acting way too close to me.]

Hes taking care of me a lot because apparently, I resemble his dead son . Its so annoying and ridiculous and now I have to take care of him too.

- You two should get married!

- Nobira, the manly man city.

- They talk exactly like the old men who worked at the factory I used to work at lol

Though Seol wasnt sure, he circled around the mansion at dark.

It doesnt look like its been maintained

Not only were there plenty of cobwebs, there were also broken windows. It almost felt like you wouldnt be able to see light tomorrow if you got locked behind the wrong, stiff door.

[Im not scared has donated 100 Madness!]

[Im not scared of things like this haha I should sleep with mommy tonight.]

- Shes probably missed you anyway!

- Im bad with scary things Does anything scary come out here?

- Well, based on the appearance Wait, is he planning to illegally trespass onto the property?

- Fact) Hes not planning to do it, hes doing it right now.

Since Seol had nothing to lose, he tried trespassing into the mansion after confirming there was no one around it.

Click.

Click Click

The door was locked.

Once again, he saw options.

[[There are probably many different ways to enter the mansion. What do you do?]

1. Break the door.

2. Check the storage room in the basement.

3. Break the glass.

4. Use the broken windows to enter the mansion.

5. [Required: Medium] Ask the ghosts in the mansion for a way inside.]

There was an ominous option but in the end, Seol chose option 4 as that was the least likely option for him to get caught.

Swirl!

Seols Shadow Hand lifted the windowsill instead of his delicate fingers. Seol, through Karunas help, was able to enter the mansion through the window.

It was completely dark in the mansion.

There are traces of someone living here, but

It wasnt that recent. It was still about a few weeks old.

At least thats what Seol noticed from the footprints on the carpet and the status of the lights.

Seol, after judging that no one was in here, took out a lamp.

Light

He was finally able to see the interior but the mansion was still way too big for someone to search alone.

I have a solution for that.

Fwirl!

Seol waved his hand to summon both Jamad and Karuna.

What?

This place could have the research room of someone named Chao. Help me find it.

Hmph. I thought it was something important.

Stomp Stomp

Jamad grumbled and left to go search alone with footsteps that were a bit loud for thieves.

- I-Im not searching this place for y-you, baka!

- Jamad is a tsundere no matter how you look at it

- Hes way too buff to be a tsundere though

- Have you never heard of gap moe?

- Excuse me, sir, what do you have against society?

Karuna, unlike Jamad, gave a nod and helped Seol explore the mansion.

As the two were walking together, Seol became curious if Karuna always had a quiet personality.

Karuna.

Yes.

Were you always that quiet?

What do you mean by always?

Before you became my shadow.

I had no one left to talk to when I was left as a disciple in the ruins so I didnt talk.

So he didnt talk because he had no one to talk to

Seol remembered that Karuna was an elf and shifted the topic.

Then what about when you were an elf?

...I dont remember.

You dont remember? Why not? Is it because you became a shadow?

Its not because of that. Its just All of my memories before I became a disciple feel hazy like a fog.

So you dont remember, huh

There were a lot of things unknown about Karuna.

Seol was also the first person who made him into a summon.

I just have to find out about him from now on then.

Detailed information about the summon was important to the summoner as well.

Seol planned on slowly learning everything about Karuna and Jamad.

Click!

Master, said Karuna.

Hm?

It looks like we found it.

Seol entered the room that Karuna opened the door for.

And inside was a sight so shocking that Seol couldnt hold back his surprise.
