The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]

"Dear mother, Zhan Xinjia.

"...I have obtained the post of professor at La Mifa University. The course I am in charge of teaching is the History of Silence and the previous literature. I have met my colleagues in the academy. Some of them are my former professors, and they are all very good get along with people.

"...

"...I hope you take care of yourself."

Siles Noel sat at the desk with his eyes downcast, holding a quill in his hand, and wrote the content of the letter he was going to send to his mother on the scratch paper.

After a while, he added a few words, "The salary of a professor is enough for me to live in Lamifah City." "The current landlord, Mrs. Finn, is a very easy going person, but I will move to the school to provide Faculty dormitory" is not entirely honest.

The content of the letter was finalized, and Siles breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously looked up at the pocket watch beside his hand.The night is already very deep.The sound of pattering rain came from outside the dirty and blurred window panes.

Siles stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the hazy night and the flickering light.

The past day has been a day of chaos for him.

He was Siles Noel at this time yesterday.A research scholar who just graduated from Ramifah University this year—the conceptual equivalent of a graduate student on Earth.His major is the history of literature.

Before he became Siles Noel, his name was He Jiayin, and he was a well-known novelist on Earth.

In the process of going out with his friends, he encountered an accident and died accidentally. When he opened his eyes, he appeared on this planet named "Fisher" and became a strange and young young man.

Siles looked at the blurred face reflected in the window glass.

He has black hair and dark eyes, slightly pale skin, and a thin and tall figure.I can't tell what his appearance is, but when he was washing up this morning, Siles noticed from the mirror that this body was handsome, with deep eyes and a deep and calm temperament.

But still young.According to the memory of this body, it is only 24 years old.

He obtained most of the memory of the original body, including his past experiences and all knowledge.This allowed him to successfully pass the recruitment exam at Ramifah University this afternoon.but……

Siles' calm face suddenly fluctuated.He frowned slightly, and his mind turned back to today's recruitment.

Although it looked very serious, from the written test to the interview, from the beginning to the end, he was the only one who participated in this recruitment, and the professors who interviewed him came and went in a hurry, as if this was just a passing ceremony.

Some colleagues in the Academy of Literature and History that I met later showed a very friendly attitude.

...However, a 24-year-old young student who has just graduated has reached the sky in one step and became an official professor at the most prestigious university in Lamifa City?

This sounds unbelievable.

Judging from Yuanben's memory, he just graduated step by step, obeyed the teacher's instructions and submitted his resume, everything seemed to go smoothly, and then he successfully obtained this position.

He was originally a student of Ramifa University.During Siles' interview, he met several former professors.Judging from their performance, there seems to be nothing strange about this matter.

But Siles was deeply skeptical.

He cautiously included the item "why he became a professor" in his future investigation plan.

And there's a lot more to his investigation plans.

For example, the geographical location of Ramifa City, the future living arrangements, and, this world.

Last night, when he became Siles and received the memory of Siles, he was surprised to realize that this world was very similar to the background setting of the running group game he was playing with his friends before he died.

The same Lamifa city, the same apostates who defected and caused panic in the city, even, he could find a few slightly familiar figures from the memory of the original body, very much like the characters in the running game Card.

And there is...

Siles turned and glanced at an object on his desk next to the inkwell.

That's a dodecahedron dice.

Running Mission is a tabletop role-playing game, similar to script killing popular among young people on Earth.But one of the great joys of running a group is the randomness brought by the dice points.

In a running group game, players usually have a character card as a game character to use.Character cards have three basic attributes, including physical fitness, spirituality, and will, as well as other different skills, including detection, psychology, mythological knowledge, and so on.

During the game, the host of the game is responsible for telling the players the setting of the game and the progress of the story, and is also responsible for throwing the dice to inform the players of the result of the judgment and the impact of this judgment on the next story.

For example, the scouting attribute value of a character card is 25, and if the dice rolls 20 points, which is less than 25, then the judgment this time is considered a success, and the player can scout out useful information.

And if the number of points cast by the dice is 30, which is greater than 25, then the investigation judgment this time has failed, and the player cannot find clues through investigation.Even if the clues are placed under the nose, they will turn a blind eye.

This undetermined judgment result will greatly affect the player's game progress.Some unlucky players may die inexplicably without investigating any information during a group run.

When Siles was playing the running group, he was the host of the game.His friends are players, and the script is searched from the Internet.

Instead of using real dice, they used random numbers from an electronic device.

But when he came to this world, he unexpectedly discovered that a real dice appeared beside him.

It was a regular dodecahedron with a pitch-black body and golden radiance around its edges, about three centimeters in length, width and height. The numbers on each side were constantly changing, from 0 to 100, without stopping.

Based on the cautiousness in his nature, after realizing the existence of this dice, Siles never used this dice, or made actions such as throwing or throwing.

During the past day, Sirius had never heard any dice gurgling.

It seems like everything is going well.

But he clearly knew that this dice would appear by his side, and it was very likely related to his time travel.But why did he cross over?Why did you come to this world?Where did the original body go?

died?But in the memory he got, the original body just fell asleep normally, and when he woke up, he became He Jiayin.

He felt that this matter was unusual, and there must be some secrets hidden behind it.

Siles suddenly thought of something at this moment.

In the team game he played, the host was called the Keeper of Secrets.A man who keeps secrets.

Siles took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and then let out a sigh of relief.He thought, at least no one with extraordinary power suddenly jumped out and told him that he was arrested because the dove occupied the magpie's nest.

There are real gods in Fisher's world, so he also doubts the existence of the so-called "extraordinary power".He was a novelist in his previous life.

Therefore, until the truth is investigated, Siles will keep the secret that he is a visitor from another world, and strive to survive in this world different from the earth.

On this basis, he will try to find a way back to Earth.Even though it may cost him countless time and energy, he is still a foreigner after all.

Siles closed his eyes, then walked to the desk again, transcribed the letter to the original mother onto official letter paper, folded it, put it in an envelope, and planned to mail it tomorrow morning.

He wrote his mother's address on the envelope.

"Lamifa City, Merlin Town, Canyo Farm."

Afterwards, he put the envelope aside, carefully arranged the paper, ink, quill pen, notebook and other items on the desk, and then went to the small bathroom that came with the room.

After a while, he walked out of the bathroom, put on his pajamas, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a dream.

Early the next morning, Siles Noel put on the appropriate civilian clothes and put the envelope in the inside pocket of his coat.He took his pocket watch, a small notebook, and a sharpened pencil, and carefully pocketed the dice.

He looked out through the cloudy windowpanes and saw that the weather was still gloomy, but at least it wasn't raining.But he still took the long-handled umbrella and used it like a walking stick.

He put on waterproof leather boots suitable for the muddy road in this weather, took his wallet and keys, and went out.

The apartment building he lives in is Ramifah West City, 13 Milford Street.

The landlord, Mrs. Finn, owns the property rights of an entire apartment building. Her husband is a wealthy businessman who is away from home all day.So Mrs. Finn took charge of managing and renting out the apartment she had bought, and chatted to pass the time.

Siles' apartment is at the east end of the second floor.There are three rooms on this floor, each room is about [-] to [-] square meters, and has its own bathroom.In La Mifa's West City, such an apartment is already very good.

Siles met Mrs. Finn in the hall on the first floor.

Mrs. Finn was a middle-aged woman in her forties who always wore an apron with her long skirts.Although the family property is rich, Mrs. Finn is used to doing things by herself and has never hired a maid.

Her eyebrows are always raised.She is a woman who is unreasonable and can't say good things.The husband is not at home all the year round, and the son is also very naughty. All these setbacks make this woman seem withdrawn and mean.

Siles greeted her: "Mrs. Finn, good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Noel." Mrs. Finn's expression looked a little surprised, but she quickly said, "Are you going out? You must pay attention to safety, that damned apostate is still in the city .I don’t know why those useless priests haven’t spotted him yet.”

"Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to safety." Siles said politely, "I have found a job and I plan to send a letter to my mother. By the way, just to tell you, if there is no accident, I will send you a letter in about a week. will move out."

"Oh..." Mrs. Fein frowned, "Mr. Noel, you should have told me earlier."

Siles said apologetically, "I just got the job yesterday. It was too late to disturb you when I got back."

Mrs. Finn nodded absent-mindedly: "Okay, okay...uh, I see." She seemed to want to say something, but she stopped talking in the end and said, "When I find the next tenant, I will Refund some of your rent. Not all of it, of course."

Siles nodded.

The staff dormitory of Ramifah University is free.So even if he would lose some money by quitting the rent now, it would be better than continuing to live with Mrs. Finn.Also, the commute to Ramifa University from here is a hassle.

Mrs. Fane was, however, too friendly.He had thought that Mrs. Fane's mood would be more intense.

Siles glanced at Mrs. Finn's facial expression with a little trouble, and felt that this woman seemed to be troubled by something, so he didn't pay much attention to Celes' cancellation of the rent.

Because of her husband?her son?Or some bad tenant?

The former novelist suddenly had thoughts in his mind.

But he didn't show his various thoughts, and quickly said goodbye to Mrs. Finn and walked out of the apartment building.Not long after, he came to the carriage shop in the west city and sent out his letter.

There is no special place for posting letters in Lamifa City, so you can only look for a horse-drawn carriage that may go to the destination in such a carriage shop.Siles was very lucky, there happened to be a carriage going to Merlin Town.

Merlin Town is a small town located to the east of La Mifa City, and it is also the place where Siles Noel was born and raised.

Noel's family now has only two orphans and widows.Siles' father died when he was young, and his mother raised him alone.From what Siles Noel could remember, she was a strict yet loving mother.

The mother and the son depended on each other and had a harmonious relationship, so after Ciles cleared his mind and got a job, he immediately wrote a letter to Yuanben's mother.

Although he hasn't figured out how to treat this mother next.

After leaving the carriage house, Siles recalled what he was going to do in his mind.

What he has to do in the next period of time is mainly to prepare lessons and move.

There is still one week before the start of school at Ramifah University, and the lesson preparation is very urgent.After the interview yesterday, he learned that the teaching plans of the previous professor of literary history were still in the office, and he could learn some of them.

Siles decided to go to Ramifa University today.

The university is not in the west city, but in the east city across the river from the west city.The West City of La Mifa was the first area to be developed, and it is now called the Old City, while the East City is a more prosperous place.

From the west city to the east city, you can rent a carriage or board a public carriage.The latter advance along a fixed track and stop at a specific station, which is far less convenient and quicker than renting a horse-drawn carriage.

But stagecoaches are cheap.

In the letter, Siles said to his mother that his salary is more than enough to cover living expenses, but if he wants to investigate the truth about his time travel, there will definitely be more places where money will be used in the future.

So now he can save as much as he can, and he also plans to find more ways to make money.

He then followed the original body's memory and went to a nearby stage of a stagecoach.

The site is located in Logan's Marketplace, southwest of Milford Street.This is the busiest place in the west city, with all kinds of shops and hawkers, such as shoe stores, clothing stores, bakeries, butcher shops, spice shops, etc., and occasionally some businessmen from outside the city set up stalls here.

Lamifa City specially set up a public carriage station here to facilitate residents' travel.

Walking around a corner, at the moment when Siles could already smell the complex smell of Logan's Market, he happened to catch a glimpse of a dimly lit shop around the corner.

At this moment, the sound of gurgling dice appeared in his brain.
