Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 11: 11 Skill and roulette

[Lucy's POV: ]

[Skill creation complete.]

[You have sketched a new skill for the first time! Giving out additional rewards.]

[You have received: 2000 Oz.]

[Please name the skill.]

With a face that was lit up with a smile, she said "dismantle" in her unique, cheerful manner.

[Ding!]

[An unique skill: {Dismantle} has been created.]

The voice vanished and a new system window opened before us.

============

{Dismantle} (Level-1)

-Dismantle any skill within 12 meters radius.

-Restrict activation of lower-grade skills.

(Mana cost: 50)

(Cooldown: 1 hour)

(Duration: 5 minutes)

============

"Many things are missing from this window. Well, it's not that important. This much will do for now." She nodded with an evil grin on her face now and closed the screen.

Not being able to use any skill would only leave a person with their stats, magic, and physical arts. Pretty inconvenient, actually.

And, in this world, that stat gap can be nullified if you have excellent powerful skills, anyway.

She just created the first and most powerful skill that only she could use. A skill her special talent and brain configuration were the most suited for.

I can teach someone my {Horizontal Slash}, {Quick Stab}, {Silent Cut}, and {Light Walk}, the normal skills that I created in these previous years, but her skill was a unique skill. Something that can't be traded like other skills.

There was still one skill, {Shallow Breathing} left before I can create the most basic sword stance or major attack skill for me, but that one would still be an ant before this skill.

All these [Grade-2] skills will have something that will link them to something else and increase the overall power. But that power would mean nothing if I can't even use that skill, right people?

The rewards she received were something far more normal than we can think and it was our free ticket into the secondary hunting zone of the forest.

Now, the only thing left was to get stronger and kill that bastard.

"Let's do it," El whispered in my ear and grabbed my hand.

"Now?" I asked, glancing at the scroll in her hand and the eyes that were thinking of something obvious.

"Mine will be for something else. Let's do with yours." And saying that, she pushed me down on the bed and sat on my lap.

That was her normal behavior, so I didn't mind that, but this thing, these scrolls before us, were the most exciting right now!

"Ok. Wish me luck~!" I shouted and called out to the system interface. It was going to be fun~!

"Summon golden roulette. Use 2 scrolls!"

My heart was beating faster and… I could feel her back on my chest. Damn bad girl.

-Oooooooooooong!

The room was suddenly illuminated with a golden light, and a metallic roulette appeared in front of us.

[Congratulations! You are the youngest being to use this function in the worldline #321CF.]

[Rewarding a (Contract) scroll.]

"Wow~. We are super lucky today!" She shouted with stars in her eyes this time and grabbed the biiiiiig sky-blue scrolls.

By normal means, we would have to donate a large amount of Oz to the system, but this actually saved a lot of money~!

"I will keep this safe~!" With that, the scroll vanished from her hand into her prism space. Good world we had that convenient skill.

Keeping this thing safe from that piece of trash who checked up on us every so often was important, after all.

"Good thing we have a storage skill," I sighed under my breath and looked at the metallic gambling machine that materialized before us.

It was the same thing that we saw in gambling games with a round spinning table, but this one had paintings of different artifacts on it.

We were guaranteed some kind of reward from this thing, however, the cost was the amount of Oz we invested with each spin.

We used two scrolls, so we technically had two spinning chances.

We wagered our money on the correct number and if the ball stopped there, it would be the most profitable outcome of the game.

If the number is on something totally different, you randomly get something from the system.

If you are close to the artifact gambled, you will receive something of appropriate rank.

It was difficult for me to describe this thing, but all I knew was how we can get a growth-type artifact from ancient times from a certain method.

It wasn't a glitch or something like that, but the system's very mechanism of reward distribution.

All I needed to do was... waste my chances.

"One Oz on three and six each," I said, and the two counts on the metal display vanished.

It was something unheard-of, but using two chances at once would lead one to a hidden feature of rewards in the system.

And wasting more than necessary was something ONE never did.

The roulette started with two balls and both of them stopped at different numbers than what I wanted. Still, seeing those white balls spinning on that wheel was quite satisfying.

"It's 12 and 15. So, you lost your chance to make it big with normal means~!" Chuckling with her tongue out, she tried licking my cheeks.

It would have been sweet to get 'licked' by her, but... we were still children and there was still this thing I had to deal with.

[< Oh~. You lost. >]

For the first time, we heard a mechanical but young and sad voice.

It was ridiculous and hilarious at the same time because the voice resembled a young, small creature.

"Oh? Did I lose?" I put my hand on my mouth and gently wiped my tearful eyes.

It was time for our first scam~!

"Well, can't say anything to that. I would have worshipped the generosity of the great worldline if it could have at least given me something different from others." I paused and made the most heartbreaking expression I could with all the tears and lone air.

[< Worship? >]

This was the first time this system was interacting with us and the reason for that was... the one that was the original form of this game.

"Yes. The great world line that looks after every existence. Our dear mother, who is so generous that she can even grant a special gift to someone like me."

[< Mother?! Yes! She's great~. >]

It was a remarkable experience to be able to see something that was usually only seen within your virtual world, in real life.

And this game function which held its own unique will was some of the funniest things that the central brain had created.

It surprised El, the creator of these things, to see all these... only on the outside though.

We both knew who the best actor between the two of us was.

"I, someone so young that created four skills. Someone that will definitely create my fifth skill soon and even used not one but two precious scrolls to play this beautiful game… should receive something different, right?"

A single tear escaped my eye and slowly glistened down as I looked at the truly beautifully decorated machine.

[< B-beautiful? Yes! I'm indeed beautiful~. >]

It replied in a flabbergasted voice and a new window of the 'real' system popped up.

[Congratulations! You have picked up the interest of an [Offspring] of the worldline.]

[Golden Roulette, 66th offspring of worldline, has opened a special space .]

[Choose two ranked artifacts from the warehouse.]

"Oh! You're actually giving me such a generous gift! Thank you! Thank you too, mother world!" I shouted and at the same time, replied to El through our telepathic conversation that was going on for a while now.

{ "Just like I remember. A mama's boy~. I sometimes wonder what things you did to come up with these kinds of strategies." } She asked in a merry voice while maintaining a straight face.

{ "This one was easy. The time this little rat came after me while sitting on the head of that ranked monster was enough to show just how much he loved the AI brain ▼▼▼▼." }

A confused look flashed in my eyes before it quickly vanished. I was still talking with this crazy machine, can't have the wrong expressions after all.

{ "We can't say its name!? Lucy, you said that right! But we both heard nothing~! That filtering mechanism actually works!" }

She shouted in my head as if she had achieved something of great importance.

And she had every right to do so.

It was a bit cliché and unnecessary, but she worked hard on this one little thing that restricted the use of some very important information on 'reality'.

Worldline can't do anything with those possessing some really important information and, as we both were, the worldline central brain can't possibly do anything to us.

We were a great threat and, at the same time, a great ally to it and it must also know it.

She created the main co-creator, editor, and maintainer of the ultimate worldline that was the core consciousness of everything.

The 'AI' brain, also known as ▼▼▼▼ created the primary system of the game and then the major system created the other AI and NPC of the game.

I knew little about all those detailed things and her pure obsession with them, but it was just like her.

It was hard when we lost the whole damn thing, but then again, what can we do about the things that had already happened?

After crying, shouting, destroying, killing, and trying again, we somehow got back to normal.

Then, one day, I proposed to her, and she said yes, and then… we died.

Not the end of the story, though.

In the end, we were still together and the window before us was our ticket to something that we will use for almost forever.

"Thank you for this amazing gift, mister roulette~!" With a bright smile, I tapped on the search function of the window, unknown to the fact that the weapons I would choose right now would be far more than either of us would ever have thought…
