Episode 110
reunion (3)
Eyes that are bright enough to be burdensome.
It was a very strange feeling to be stared at by all these bearded old men.
I felt a physiological feeling of rejection, but I also felt the joy rising in my heart when I received expectations from someone. Perhaps this is what Internet BJs feel? Thinking that way, I opened my mouth.
“I’ll explain briefly again. The being you want to load is the ‘real self of the universe’. Therefore, we will proceed with the <Combination Draw> rather than the regular <Relationship Draw>. My current mana limit is three <Combination Draw>, so I’ll drink a potion every three times. “You understand up to this point, right?”
Since I had explained the <Bonding Draw> and <Combination Draw> in advance, the dwarves nodded at the same time.
“Okay, so don’t hesitate and get started.”
“This is a little… No, honestly, I’m really nervous. “How long has it been since you felt this kind of excitement?”
“I think it’s about a thousand years old? Why is that there? “When I got into a fight with the devil.”
“Ah, it was good back then. “It was truly thrilling to have the fate of the world rest on our shoulders.”
“… … .”
What kind of devil are you just barely able to draw…
If you expect that much, this will be burdensome. This wasn’t the kind of sweet skill you want to learn, but a skill that made you realize to your core that life is a real battle.
Jeong Do opened his mouth, praying in his heart that their smiles would remain until the drawing was over.
“Then let’s begin.”
After loading the wire from the album, Jeongdo started pulling vigorously.
* * * * * *
This is something that Jeong-Do also learned while conducting the proxy lottery, but among the features of the lottery, there was an On/Off function that allowed everyone to see the business cards that were only visible to Jeong-Do.
Jeongdo and the dwarves were dumbfounded by the function that seemed to expect them to draw by proxy, but thanks to the function, the dwarves were also able to know in real time the color of the business card that was stuck above Jeongdo’s head. And thanks to this, dwarves were able to feel the excitement of the lottery in real time.
That was the beginning of the tragedy.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Did someone do that?
Life is a tragedy when seen close up, and a comedy when seen from afar.
The situation of the dwarves was exactly like that right now.
When watching from a third party’s perspective, it was as fun as a comedy, but the dwarves who were actually involved were experiencing a terrible tragedy.
“This makes sense! “I drank several bottles of Elf Tears, but how could I not have one!”
“normal! “That damn normal thing!”
“Dia looks more like a dog than Normal! Are you torturing hope?”
It was okay when I got two normals and one gold in the first three combination draws. No, the atmosphere was actually nice. The main character of Gold was the owner of a tavern that dwarves often used, and thanks to him, he was able to reminisce about memories for the first time in a long time.
And drink a bottle of potion three times.
normal. normal. normal.
Three times again.
normal. normal. gold.
Three times again.
normal. Diamond. normal.
At this point, the dwarves’ expressions began to get worse. When everyone’s expressions, including Jeong Do’s, began to sour, JIS took the lead and calmed everyone down.
“calm down. calm down. “There are still twenty more bottles left.”
“okay. It’s starting now. “Go!”
“Gazua!”
The words he shouted every time he drew a draw spread like magic and ended up brainwashing the dwarf. It was a scary sight, almost like a fanatic. However, even in the midst of such fanatics, there was someone who maintained reason and stopped the other dwarves.
“No, anyway, isn’t this a bit strange? I guess human luck isn’t that great, but to do something like this… “Kek!”
“How dare you doubt the savior? “This guy needs to be beaten!”
“Now that I think about it, Nils, wasn’t that guy unusually unlucky? “Isn’t that fraudulent?”
“Right. That kid was the culprit. Screw you!”
puck. puck. puck.
For saying one wrong word, a dwarf named Nils was beaten to dust on a rainy day. And he was thrown into a warehouse for being illegal. It was a sight that showed what would happen if you were alone among the fanatics.
Although there was a minor incident, the drawing continued.
* * * * * *
“hmm… .”
After taking a look around, he swallowed a groan.
‘Is this the pattern of those who are addicted to gambling?’
Gold number 9.
Diamond number 3.
The results so far have been a draw.
Just like people who encounter the lottery for the first time, the dwarves were obsessed to the point of being scary. And just like people who are into lottery, they showed their typical appearances one after another.
“Is our wish finally coming true!”
When you first start drawing, expect to hit the jackpot.
“Hmph. You don’t get selected. But in times like these, we must have faith!”
Even after repeated failures, I never lost hope.
“uh? Where have all the elf’s tears gone? Ah, looks like there’s one more box left in the warehouse. “Is it possible that they have already used up all that much?”
I started denying reality.
And at the end, all those emotions started to explode at once.
“I can feel it! “It looks like it’s going to float!”
“This is a scam!”
“okay… “This is fate.”

“What kind of bastard stole tears from an elf? “If you don’t want to die, report this truth.”
Hope, frustration, resignation and anger.
You could literally see all the joys and sorrows in the world here.
It was an unfortunate situation, but we couldn’t stop here, right? Jeong Do gave a word of magic to the despairing dwarves as a group.
“Honestly, it’s time to move on.”
Although it was a statement that completely ignored the probability theory of independent implementation, it was a very persuasive statement to those who are crazy about lottery.
“Yes, that’s right!”
“If you have a conscience, it’s time to come out.”
“There is something like this among the dwarf miners’ proverbs. ‘Do not leave Mithril one meter in front of you and go back.’ This is what I say to dwarves who give up right before they hit the jackpot. If you dig just 1m further down, a mineral vein is waiting for you. “We almost made that mistake.”
If there are 7 happy circuits, the efficiency is 7 times higher.
They immediately regained their energy and asked Do.
“human. Is there perhaps a more efficient way? It’s not that I doubt it… “Isn’t it time to change the pattern?”
“It’s efficiency. In my experience, it is best to have luck-related equipment… .”
Jeongdo said that and looked at his own body.
It was a sight to behold, as it was wearing a variety of good luck-boosting accessories without paying any attention to its design.
“Something that contains your story. Is there anything like that? “I heard it would be more popular if there was something like that.”
“Of all the items here, not a single one was used by us.”
“yes? “Then what are all the things here?”
“It’s a long explanation… I’ll tell you about that later, so let’s start with the draw. “Isn’t there a better way other than making things with a story?”
“Actually, there’s more to it than that… .”
As he hesitated to answer, the dwarves hesitated to answer, and Jeong-do reluctantly opened his mouth.
“You can drastically increase your luck instantly. However, if you do this, your status will be consumed permanently.”
Yoo Seon’s <Luck Rental>
It is the strongest skill in terms of increasing luck, but it is a skill that has not been used until now because the penalty is large.
“hmm… .”
“That’s definitely a bit troublesome.”
It didn’t matter since the elf’s tears and the equipment that increased luck were theirs, but they couldn’t beg them to draw while reducing other people’s stats. Even though I was crazy about drawing, I still had at least some conscience left.
At that time, Tenku muttered quietly.
“Elixir… .”
“right! “There it was!”
“If it’s Elixir… “Is it an elixir?”
“okay. It is an elixir that increases status by 1 per bottle.”
“and… .”
That such a ridiculous elixir exists? To some extent, I could only exhale admiration.
“But this is really precious. “Elf tears are precious, but these are on a different level.”
“One bottle of this is enough to buy a castle.”
“Do we have to go this far?”
“Still, I don’t know when an opportunity like this will come again… .”
“In our world, we have a saying like this.”
When the dwarves hesitated, Jeong Do spoke to the dwarves with a serious expression that was unprecedented in the world.
“If you’re a bully even if you win, and if you’re a bully even if you lose, at least be a bully that wins!”
It was a truly idiotic word, but there were already only idiots in this place. With those words, life returned to the eyes of the seven, or rather, the six tigers except for the one who was imprisoned.
“Yes, that’s right!”
“I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t started in the first place, but since I started, I absolutely have to succeed!”
“The sayings have been pouring out since a while ago. human. “I guess your world is a world of philosophers?”
“Bring the elixir!”
Jis ran to the warehouse, brought a colorful box, and placed it in front of Jeong-do.
There were 30 elixirs in total. In other words, I was able to increase my ability level by 30. Enough to use Wired’s <Luck Rental> three times at max value. And there was only one bottle of elf tears left, so it was exactly right.
No one hesitated. I drank 30 bottles of elixir as is. There was a sense of solemnity on the dwarf’s face.
“One shot for a man. going!”
“Gazua!”
Jeong Do played <Combination Draw> while putting 10 ability points into <Luck Rental>.
And the business cards falling down from above my head, which were definitely worth the stats, were a color I saw for the first time today.
black.
Black’s business card fell on Jeongdo’s head and the dwarves let out a sigh that was close to a scream.
“OMG! “What a kick!”
“No, it really works though. “I think it will come up in the remaining two.”
It was an unfortunate remark to the dwarves, but the reward from the Black Road was great. The person loaded was a dwarf of a slightly lower level than the dwarves here. In addition to the skill level, I was able to obtain the talent <Production-lv.2> as a reward.
And then the lottery started again.
When a diamond appeared in the second draw with stat 10, one of the dwarves burst into tears. A feeling of regret pricked my heart, but I gritted my teeth and executed the last draw.
And it floated.
“Aaaah!!!”
“Kwaaaah!!!”
The dwarves rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth. The business card that fell on Jeong Do’s head was blindingly white.
The white business card seeped into Do’s mind and he felt an immeasurable power. The dwarves rushed forward and shouted.
“Who are you? Me? “It will be me.”
“What are you talking about? Of course it’s me. “Think about your daily behavior!”
“You saw me right before the human pulled me out. “You saw me!”
“wait a minute. “I’ll see it now.”
Jeongdo opened the status window due to the dwarves’ harassment, and soon his expression became strange.
Name: Jinjeongdo
Level: 599
Mana reserves: 615
Strength: 661 Stamina: 689 Reflexes: 603 Mana Responsiveness: 708
Talent: <Craft-lv.3>, <Grant-lv.3>, <Detection-lv.3>, <Prestige-lv.2>, <Elegance-lv.2> … and 15 others.
Possessed skills: <Eye of Truth>, <Voice of All Things>, <Observation>, <Elemental Weapon>… and 11 others.
The person loaded was none of the seven dwarves. Puzzled by the degree, he put the name in his mouth.
“This is a person named Lirim Bright… .”
Pop.
The dwarves, who were in a frenzy, fell into silence at the name that Do-do brought up. Not only that, but his complexion was not good at all.
<Tsk tsk. Looking at the way things are going, I can see what’s going on. A human from another world? Could you please tell me what I have to say? No, if you will allow me, I will speak directly.>
A surprisingly beautiful voice echoed in Do-do’s head. Without realizing it, Jeong-do thought that he would allow it, and right after that, a woman’s voice came out of Jeong-do’s mouth.
“I am disappointed. “I can’t believe that people who put aside all their karma and challenge the ‘truth’ use such shortcuts.”
“Huh? Lirim?!”
“Meet the Goddess!”
“See you princess!”
The dwarves began to tremble and bow to Jeongdo. It seemed that the people currently loaded were of a higher rank than those called Grand Meisters.
“You can never reach the truth by using shortcuts. In the first place, you… .”
A being called Lirim began to preach, and the dwarves debated whether they had committed any sins. Jeong Do was lost in his thoughts while listening to voices coming out against his will.
‘She’s a goddess. ‘This exploded too much.’
Should I like this or not?
Since he chose White, he would soon receive a reward, but the Dwarves ultimately failed. To some extent, I felt so bad for them that I felt like crying.
‘Anyway, I hope you reach the ‘truth’ properly and not through this expedient method. I believe in you. Oh, some kind of compensation for the humans who suffered because of your greed… .’
Perhaps because it was the same god as Susanoo, the load time this time was extremely short. Along with the notification that his overall abilities had increased by 10, two roulette cards appeared in front of him.
<Elegance-lv.2>, <Elemental Weapon>
‘It’s not elegant.’
I chose <Elemental Weapon> without much hesitation. Jeong-do quietly looked at the dwarves. They looked helpless. And while it seemed like he was ashamed of something, it also seemed like he was resolute.
Jis, who noticed the level of attention, opened his mouth.
“… Good job. degree. “Follow us.”
Jis took the lead and took Jeong Do into another space. Various treasures were piled up there.
“This is the offering room. You said earlier that we don’t have any of our belongings here, right? “It is because we have abandoned everything in this world.”
“Then what about these items?”
“We dropped everything, but not the guys around us. We were revered as gods after we disappeared. Oh, of course, he doesn’t have any real status, he’s just revered. “I don’t know whether the intention was out of pure respect or for political use.”
Jis smiled bitterly and continued.
“Anyway, since he is revered as a god, offerings come in regularly. Everything here was donated in that way. Since we have the word of the goddess, I will bring you a few useful items here.”
“… “I’m sorry for no reason.”
“no. Just as the goddess said. It’s a task we must accomplish ourselves. never mind.”
It was the moment when Do-do nodded and looked around the offering room.
Faaah!
A blue light appeared from the magic circle located in the center of the offering room and soon disappeared. Coincidentally, someone had offered a tribute to the dwarves. It was truly amazing timing.
“… “This is hot.”
The offering was a small bottle containing blue liquid.
Elf tears.
The eyes of everyone in the offering room were focused on the small potion bottle. After Jis walked away like a zombie, she picked up the elf’s tears. She then looked at the degree with rotten eyes.
“mind… “One last time!”
“… … .”
I’m sorry. Dwarves of this world.
I have corrupted the gods you believe in.
Jeong Do apologized deeply to the alien beings whose faces he had never seen.
Naturally, there were no surprises.
