592 – Call of Duty (4)
In my previous life, I was an atheist. Strictly speaking, it should be said that it is a non-religious religion close to Buddhism.
In any case, even I, who was a non-religious person, had a time to find God, and that was when I was playing computer games.
At the time, I played not only games that were once criticized for being disease games, but also various games with friends, including soccer games.
As everyone knows, the soccer game is famous for the infamous ‘Card Gang’. Life is reversed the moment a famous player comes out with a high rating.
At that moment, I put my hands together and prayed. You don’t need all of them, so just draw cards that are better than your friends.
I don’t want to be greedy, so please ask for something more expensive than that guy. Of course, it was nonsensical.
I thought I was going to die of hunger when my friend’s kid picked a player who was famous for corruption at the time.
what can i do though That’s what luck is all about. An understandable but impossible luck.
If you wish earnestly, the universe will help you, but in the end, luck is luck. Being lucky can hit the lottery or being unlucky and stepping on sh*t.
But this is the story of the earth, and what about this world where God exists? If you earnestly pray to God, will your luck increase?
The answer is Yes. Priests can be said to be lucky, and the deeper their faith, the higher their luck.
Could this be used appropriately to raise faith and to free Call of Duty from stigma?
I was cautious because it was a bit like blasphemy, but personally I am close to the gods.
Not to mention, it wasn’t a bad story from the point of view of the gods, so I thought it would be okay.
[I don’t think that’s a very good idea.]
However, Luminous took a negative stance. Previously, it was said that the deeper one’s religious beliefs, the greater the luck, but that’s strange.

Luminous, perhaps recognizing my doubts, explained step by step so that I could understand.
[As you say, priests are generally lucky. However, there are times when they say so themselves, and it is unclear whether this really increases ‘absolute’ luck.]
‘What do you mean?’
[There is a card you started selling, so use that as an example. Let’s say there is someone who can draw a good card with a 30% chance. That person later became a priest, and his faith deepened, raising the probability to 50%. But even so, it means that bad cards may come out throughout your life.]
‘Well······’
[There is a 90% chance of winning, but there are people who don’t win more than 10 times. Is this really a lucky person or a bad person?]
‘ah.’
I clearly understood what you meant. It is said that even if the probability goes up, there is no unlucky person until the end.
I think I know why Luminous called it absolute luck. This is faith, nabal, and it’s a story that has nothing to do with it.
Probability is probability, so if you keep trying, you might get a good card. However, that means that there are people who can come out of nowhere.
‘It’s subtle. It seems simple, but it’s complicated.’
[right. When a war breaks out, most of the soldiers who believe in me die, right? God only watches and decides fate, and does not play dice. Of course you are an exception.]
‘··· ···’
Oh right.
This human, no, God was originally a god in charge of war. It is said that even if you pray to God, it may be a terrible betrayal.
After listening to the advice, my plan felt like an idiot. If you don’t do it, your faith may be cut off.
In the end, it was decided to discard the use of faith. I think it’s better to just leave everything to chance.
‘Do you know how to make sure your pack of cards doesn’t qualify as gambling? If nothing else, I have no intention of training a gambling addict.’
[Didn’t you already suggest it? Probability Disclosure. That alone will be enough.]
‘Really?’
[then. Gambling is the act of betting certain things against uncertain odds. However, if the probability is revealed, the anticipation will be shattered. The source of gambling addiction is that expectation psychology.]
In addition, it doesn’t matter if you enjoy the so-called card gang or duel (?) itself, and added an explanation that it is a gamble from the moment you bet money here.
The religious world is wary of that field, so there won’t be a situation where I have to step out separately.
It’s not an ordinary person, and since God explained it that way, it’s strangely trustworthy.
‘Thanks to you, I can let you go for an hour. Can I do it like this?’
[Of course. The act of gambling should be regulated, isn’t regulating play a juxtaposition?]
‘I agree.’
Then, what were Korea and China doing in their previous lives? I had to prevent my addiction, but whenever I had a chance, I lost the game.
It’s because it won’t be fixed~ You could say, but if that was the case, the whole country would have collapsed long ago.
Even if China blocked everything else, it couldn’t stop Mahjong. People are always looking for entertainment.
[I think it’s fortunate that you made a wholesome game. In particular, it is an entertainment that children will like.]
‘Was there not much for the children to play with?’
[It wasn’t there, so they beat each other while playing knights, or they followed their parents to the plaza where public executions took place. There were also cases where I went to the slaughterhouse to get materials to make toys.]
‘··· ···’
Fantasy medieval. The other day, if Marie was bored, she suggested that we go see the public execution ground.
In addition, there are even monsters, so it is an environment where only the strong can survive.
I am truly grateful to have been born into a noble family.
‘······If possible, I will try to create a different play culture. Like soccer for example. Isn’t there something similar now?’
[There is something similar. Inflate a cow’s or pig’s bladder and play with it, or kick it in the head.]
‘Is that so… yes?’
what did i hear? I was so startled that I wriggled my body.
[If it rolls, it’s suitable for playing ball. The monster’s head is especially popular.]
‘··· ···’
[The city is rarely invaded by monsters, so the head of a condemned prisoner or a slaughtered animal…]
‘Please stop.’
It’s rude, but it was so naked that I stopped halfway. No matter how much, I thought that playing while kicking people’s heads wasn’t a little bit.
However, when I thought about it, something similar happened on Earth. Stories of young Vikings and medieval Englishmen playing with human heads.
At that time, war broke out at every opportunity, so it was an era when ‘killing’ was nothing. Monsters are a bonus in this world.
Children would have no choice but to get used to such a culture.
‘······Is this normal from the point of view of this world?’
[right. We too were shocked when we first witnessed Earth’s culture.]
I said that, but there are many parts of this world that have developed compared to the times. Among them, mana and magic are unique.
Without them, the world wouldn’t have developed like this. Because he would have been attacked by monsters whenever he had a chance.
I just don’t want to poison the culture. It looks like you’ve already sprayed a few, but let’s move on quietly.
‘First, I’ll solve the card slowly. If you include soccer, it becomes a bit of a headache.’
[Yes. That’s something you don’t have to consider separately.]
‘Does that sound significant?’
[Didn’t you already write it down in the book?]
Well. I have nothing to say. I smiled bitterly.
Still, my help will be needed for modern soccer to emerge, not a simple ball kicking game.
If you establish a certain concept, you will play well on your own. The balance between races is honestly not something I would consider.
[If you are worried about gambling addiction, go see Mora. That kid will solve it well.]
‘Mora-nim is probably suitable for gambling addiction in charge of the mental field.’
[There is that, too, but it was a situation that was halfway left to me until now. Maybe not now.]
‘··· ···’
Hey, it couldn’t be helped because Luminous was more popular than Mora until then.
Moreover, many people were unaware of Mora’s authority. Sooner or later, gambling addicts will visit the Church of Mora.
It’s not bad from Mora’s point of view either. It’s starting to do the work you were supposed to do, and it’s a good opportunity to gather believers.
It’s kind of ridiculous that a single card could have such an impact, but let’s face it.
I briefly said hello to Luminus and came out. We plan to visit Mora after watching the progress.
So it was the moment I was about to leave the temple.
“Huh? Kate?”
“Hello. Sir Isaac. Are you on the way to welcome Luminous-sama?”
Just in time, I ran into Kate who was about to enter the temple. Judging by the fact that it was a nun’s uniform rather than white armor, it seemed that she was working.
A beautiful face and a warm smile. I smiled at her smile and replied.
“Yes. I visited for a while because I had something to discuss. Did you come to see me?”
“That’s not it, but…”
Kate hesitated a little at my question. Then, without saying a word, she showed what was in her hand.
Thanks to that, I was able to see what she showed me. It was a situation where one eye was sold on the face, so I couldn’t look down.
And seeing the object in Kate’s hand, she felt both absurd and embarrassed at the same time.
“······Call of Duty? Did you buy that?”
“Yes······”
Kate answered quietly, covering her face with her card, as if embarrassed. It seemed embarrassing to see that his face was a weak blush.
I couldn’t help but wonder if there was anything to be ashamed of. I am an adult and I am a card that everyone buys.
“That’s because I haven’t come up with good cards until now.”
“Yes?”
“I was wondering if I could pray to Luminus-sama…”
Kate timidly confessed, perhaps reading my expression. When I heard that, I sympathized, not sympathized.
yes. The prayer meta always exists. Her heart is completely understandable.
curious at the same time Is the prayer meta really working in this world?
“Can I watch?”
“Yes?”
“I’m curious. If you pray, a really good card will come out.”
“······”
At my suggestion, Kate hesitated and nodded her head with difficulty. I smiled weakly and entered the temple with her.
Then, a high-ranking priest like Kate entered the private chapel to pray. It’s definitely a big place.
“Almighty god of light and hope, Luminus. Please give me light…”
“······”
Kate put her hands together and began to pray. It’s a pretty straightforward look.
But now, even Luminous wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. The moment I picked that pack of cards, ‘destiny’ was already decided.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Luminous has the power to determine fate, but does not change fate that has already passed.
Even if a good card can tell you which pack to land, the card Kate picks is doomed to pass.
“So far, I’ve followed what Luminus-sama said. Even if there are unwanted results, I will never hold grudges.”
After a long and short prayer, Kate, who drew the last sign of the cross, picked up the card pack that had been put on the floor.
Jjiik-
Soon, the wrapped card pack was torn. When Kate caught a glimpse of the card, she patted her chest and let out a long breath.
All that remains is to take out the card and check the result. I quietly observed over my shoulder.
And······
“······uh?”
Blood and Steel cards were generally mediocre. Neither good nor bad card.
But Zenon’s biography card is a problem. Isn’t it not just a simple golden color, but shiny as if it was plated?
A plated card that only 3 copies are released per month. That card that is said to be drawn with extreme odds.
The ‘Jin: Diabols’ card was put into Kate’s hand.
What kind of absurd situation is this?
“ah······”
But Kate wasn’t happy. Rather, it was a reaction close to a sigh, as if disappointed.
If it was someone else, the world would have screamed at me to leave, but I couldn’t understand why they reacted like that.
“Me… Kate?”
“Ah, yes. Sir Isaac.”
“That’s a really good card…”
I just can’t describe it in words how great it is. It is a card that collectors turn on the light in their eyes and run to.
When Kate heard my question, she glanced at the Djinn: Diabols card and said with a gloomy expression.
“Actually, I wanted a Lily card.”
“······Lily card?”
“Yes. I know that this card is good. But if it’s not the card I want, isn’t it all meaningless?”
“······Wait.”
I immediately closed my eyes and went into prayer. Just in time, Luminus will be here as well, so he’ll explain the situation.
[I was so lucky that I picked that one.]
‘It wasn’t the card you wanted?’
[That’s out of luck.]
‘··· ···’
