596 – Talent Giving (4)
There is a game called TRPG in the previous life. To put it simply, it is an offline game that combines situational drama and RPG.
When you think of general RPG games, most people think of computer or video games. However, TRPG only leads to situational play.
The game master acts as a substitute for the computer, but continues the scenario based on infinite ‘imagination’. Again, it is imagination.
Computer games have some kind of shortcuts, but there are bound to be limits in terms of freedom, but TRPGs don’t have that. Boasts unlimited freedom.
However, there is a caveat here. TRPG is a social game. Respect for each other is essential and can be criticized if done haphazardly.
Whether it’s the game master who continues the game or the player who leads the scenario, it’s a game where imagination runs to the end.
It is a game only played by maniacs among maniacs, but it has formed a thick maniac base with only one strength, that it has a wide degree of freedom.
Of course I didn’t I was busy playing disease games and my friends weren’t interested.
To be honest, I don’t even know the rules. I’ve only seen it a few times on YouTube and I know I have to roll the dice.
‘It’s the original luck.’
It doesn’t matter if you spread TRPGs in this world or not, and it’s important to play with Ariel right now.
Both to check the number of children and to supplement the setting of the new work to be written after blood and steel.
Children’s imagination often surpasses that of adults, so this would be a good method.
‘But why are there so many dice?’
Maybe it’s because it’s a time when gambling is in full swing. The dice the children obtained varied.
Starting with a basic cube, each 8, 10, 12, and even 20. There are many different types of dice.
I’m going to use it randomly because I’m just going to explain my improvisation and my general view of the world anyway.
Still, I have to say it in a way that makes sense. You can do it by following the funniest videos on YouTube.
“Okay. That’s it.”
I wrote my temporary job and abilities on a piece of paper and a pen that I had prepared separately and finished. Tribes roll dice.
When I looked at the children who had been waiting patiently, they were all looking at me with bewildered expressions.
Hey, it’s strange to ask for dice, but I can’t help but wonder that I’m suddenly scribbling something with a pen on paper.
The worldview will also be unfamiliar. The world was devastated as much as it was devastated by the 2nd Demon War. A place where the dead are resurrected because of the wrong order.
‘Zenon’s life isn’t bad either, but think about it later.’
It’s an impromptu story anyway. In fact, it’s ambiguous to even call it a TRPG.
In the eyes of children, it will feel like a more systematic role play. I told the children who looked at me with innocent eyes.
“The preparations are over. Anyone want to roll the dice first?”
“me!”
Ariel was the first to shout, raising her hand vigorously. His golden eyes twinkled, as if he was quite excited.
I handed her the dice and instructed her to roll. At first it is a regular cube.
again-
“6! Something good has arrived!”
Is it because she is also an angel? It’s not trivial to roll the dice.
I told Ariel which race I had initially set to 6.
“You are an elf.”
“Elf?”
“It’s surprisingly normal.”
“Ariel is more of an angel than an elf.”
The children gossip when Ariel’s role is designated as an elf. But this is not the end.
“Now roll the icosahedral dice.”
“What is an icosahedron?”
“A dice with 20 eyes.”
again-
As I said, Ariel rolled the icosahedral die 3 times.
Originally, I knew that I had to roll the regular decahedron 3 times, but I replaced it with the icosahedron because I didn’t make the settings.
The numbers that came out are 20, 15, and 3, respectively. Strength and agility are all good, but intelligence is very slow.
······What kind of numbers come out? It was absurd, but I told you what I knew.
“Your stats are 20 strength, 15 agility, and 3 intelligence.”
“Wow! You look so strong!”
“I said 20 is the highest, so it’s really high.
Ariel cheered for a moment, but Mars stabbed the fact. It’s true that the setting is crazy, but where did you learn such words?
“Where did you learn that word?”
“From the biography of Zenon.”
“I’m sorry brother.”
It’s all my fault. More than my karma of playing with language.
Next, set up your job. He told me to roll the regular dodecahedron dice once again because there were not many jobs.
Ariel rolled the dice with her cheeks inflated, as if she was slightly offended by the fact that Mars was a jerk.
The number that came out was 4. I kept my mouth shut while watching it, then smiled and said.
“······You are a priest.”
“A priest with low intelligence and strong power? What is this?”
What is it? It’s a hybrid that pops up from time to time. At least he’s not a paladin, he’s a priest.
Of course, since it’s a game with a high degree of freedom, it doesn’t matter what you do, but the fact that you have to be faithful to your role remains the same.
“Can’t we roll it again?”
“No. Next time roll a six-sided die.”
When you roll the die, you get a 6. I don’t know why there is such a big difference.
“Your appearance is really beautiful. You are praised for your appearance that the artisan carves with great care.”
“Wow~”
“Ariel would be comfortable. You just have to play the fool.”
The girl with her dark blonde hair up to her waist said as if she was envious. Although she has freckles, the girl also has a cute appearance.
In this way, Ariel’s character setup is over. An elven priest with very low intelligence but a beautiful appearance.
From the very beginning, a strange combination emerged. If Ariel is like this, what about the other kids?
“Your stats are 6 Strength, 14 Agility, and 12 Intelligence.”
It doesn’t make sense even if the abilities come out normally like that.
“An ugly Dwarf blacksmith? What can I do with my role?”
“You can strengthen the weapons of your allies or destroy the weapons of your opponents. However, depending on the dice, the weapon may be destroyed when strengthened.”
I’m going to make it fun. Children’s eyes sparkled at ordinary role play and unusual settings.
The Dwarven blacksmith must have been finished, and the next one continued. The job of the boy who already looks reliable is a human warrior.
Their abilities are also decent, with 13, 7, and 9 respectively. The appearance is also a 3.
Therefore, what remains is Mars, who feels like an alley leader.
again-
“Your stats are 8, 5, and 13.”
“It’s good! My strength is low, but now I just need to open an article!”
There’s no way. The dice are fair.
“Your job… is a wizard.”
“Eh.”
Mars frowns upon being called a wizard. I’m putting out a lot of tea that I don’t like.
However, in a situation where other children have also humbly accepted it, it is impossible to ask only one person to change.
Although he received a 5 for his appearance, he is a beastman. Until now, I haven’t seen Soo-in use magic, but it’s a game.
“Each of you spurns the grave or emerges from one of the gravesides or through the dirt. The world you emerge from is all gray and devoid of life. You do not know why you have been resurrected, you just have to move on. I know only one thing. Ariel first.”
“yes?”
“Tell me what action to take.”
“Hmm… I’m a priest with low intelligence even though I like everything else… First of all, what do you have?”
“You have the nun’s uniform you wore in your life, and a necklace in the shape of a cross is clutched in your hand.”
After hearing my words, Ariel pondered for a while before opening her mouth.
“First of all, since I’m a priest, I’ll pray. Even the gods can’t get involved in the world, but I’m still a priest.”
“Then roll the dice.”
“Should I roll the dice?”
“yes.”
Ariel, who is still unfamiliar with me, but rolls the dice as I said. Of course, it is an icosahedral die.
The roll of the dice rolls 5. If you look at this alone, it’s a good number, but the problem is that your intelligence is 3.
As Ariel was about to kneel down and pray for the role, I recited a narration with a smile on my face.
“You wanted to pray to God, but you forgot the text.”
“My God… Eh?”
Ariel was so flustered that she really gave a reaction down to an intelligence of 3. It’s perfect, even the blink of an eye.
Somehow, the acting fit the setting perfectly, so the other kids burst into laughter.
“Puhuhh… it’s like this.”
“I think you know what it is. It looks interesting!”
“quickly!”
Also, kids are kids. If it’s fun and new, you’ll want to follow it.
After asking them to calm down for a moment, I spoke to Ariel, who was confused.
“Ariel. You can continue.”
“Can I do anything?”
“Yes. You can do as you imagine.”
“Um… I’ll walk out of the grave for now.”
“You walk out of a tomb full of greyness. The tomb is in a canyon-like location, full of bones everywhere.”
At first, I’m going to tell you how to proceed in the form of a tutorial. It’s such an unfamiliar concept that I can’t help it.
Besides, as I said before, the scenario is a world on the brink of destruction. I borrowed the setting of a game that was famous for its hardcore difficulty in my previous life.
A world that has gone beyond order and has been completely shattered. Resurrection of the dead is basic, and it is a world where demons set up everywhere.
“Then a skeleton appears loitering in front of you. And when it finds you, it snaps its jaws at you!”
“Uh, uh? Are you fighting?”
“We have to fight. Just pretend you’re role-playing. Before you use a skill, tell your dad.”
“S, Skeleton? Since I’m a priest, I’ll memorize a divine spell!”
Confused for a while, Ariel proceeded as if she were playing her usual role. I was entrusted with the role of a priest and I am faithful to my prayers.
But the dice are brutally fair. I told Ariel to roll the dice.
again-
The result is 15. There is no choice with an intelligence of 3, and on the contrary, it is a level where you have to give a penalty.
But since it’s a tutorial, I should go without penalty. Whether Ariel despaired or not, I silently continued the scenario.
“You prayed hastily, but nothing happens because you forgot the prayer. And at the same time, the skeleton raises its sword high!”
“aaa! Roll! I have to avoid it somehow, so roll over!”
“Please roll the dice.”
His intelligence is still low, but his other stats are high. Dexterity is 15 and Strength is 20, the highest level.
Eventually, a dice value of 10 came out, and a situation was created in which it was narrowly avoided.
“Whoa… God. This is also your will. If you can’t give me strength, I’ll destroy it myself! I’ll hit the skeleton’s face with my hand holding the necklace!”
Ariel started to use honorifics rather than slang, perhaps because she was quite immersed. Satisfied, I checked the dice she rolled.
I don’t know if Luminus and Morado enjoy this, or if it’s just basic luck.
The dice came out with a whopping 1. I, of course, admired the children watching.
“You hit the skeleton’s face with the hand holding the necklace. The skeleton’s skull shattered and you won the victory! God bless you, you can increase your stat by 1.”
“Wow! Cool!”
“Is that a priest? Isn’t that a paladin?”
“It’s probably a monk rather than a paladin. But since I recited the prayer, let’s move on.”
Power 20 Priest who cannot recite prayers. Ariel was also quite smart, and tried to recite a prayer even in an emergency.
If I had to go out with my fist first, it would have gone against the concept. The children seemed to have vaguely felt that, and everyone understood and moved on.
Ariel’s turn, which had been eventful from the beginning, ended like this, and she moved on to another child.
And······
“God bless you, you can raise your stat by 1. What stat…”
“Unconditional power! Power even if you’re a wizard!”
“······”
There are signs that the legendary Mage will be born. It wasn’t even that Mars smashed the skeleton with his staff.
On the contrary, he was very faithful to his role. Because he turned the skeleton into powder while using magic.
But I took the power. I asked quietly just in case.
“······ Even if you take power, you have to be faithful to the role of a mage later, right?”
“There must be a time to use the power someday!”
There was nothing more to say in the confident answer. With Mars’ turn over like that, it’s already evening.
The way the parents of the children always call in the evening. No matter how much it is, I can’t make the parents of the children worry.
“Brother! Brother! Are you doing it tomorrow too?”
“Well? I’ll see the time and decide. Hyung is a bit busy.”
“Join me! It’s so much fun!”
Mars, who was tickling, also said that he would definitely do it again, as if he liked it.
I thought it would be yellow, but it’s not at all. Heck, Ariel has a sense of humor too, but if she had a bad nature, she wouldn’t have suited her.
Even the parents of the children seem to be curious about what games they played while thanking me. I think adults will enjoy it too.
I’ll have to let you know after we’ve come up with more detailed rules later. I mentioned it constantly, but what I did today is improvised, so it’s full of holes.
“Dad. Dad. Can’t we go home with the mothers? Grandpa too!”
“Is that so? It’s okay because it can have a good influence on Marie’s mother.”
“Yes!”
Seeing that even her wings flapped, Ariel seemed to have fun too. I smiled and stroked her hair.
So after arriving home, Ariel gathered people as she wanted and proceeded with the game, albeit briefly.
“Hey… shouldn’t I be sleeping soon?”
“Let’s do one more turn! One more turn!”
[Heh heh heh. The grandson keeps delaying this grandfather’s funeral.]
“······”
He let out an awkward laugh at the unexpectedly great reaction.
Still, I’m glad it seems to have revitalized the mansion.
‘I think I became a slave in a different sense…’
If it’s for the sake of the one you love, you’re willing to risk it.
