Elsword - Rune Slayer

Elesis - Blazing Heart

Eve - Code: Nemesis

Rose - Freyja

Have you ever felt that you're the unluckiest person in the world? For example, you get a door prize ticket. This is the number you got to get the prize:

18372946

And this is the winner's number:

18372945

Admit it! This kind of thing happened to you at least once! If not, then I have nothing to say. Or maybe something similar happened to you? Like, everyone on a party gets a piece of paper. There's one special piece of paper and you get it. Happy? No! The one who has that special thing is going to get a punishment!

Another one? Do you know claw crane? One day, you play it just to test your luck. Guess what? You catch a doll! Everything you have to do is waiting for the crane to give the doll to you.

Sorry, that won't happen! The troll machine decides to drop your doll in the middle of its way!

You mad? Maybe… if that ever happened to you.

Well, this is Elsword Fanfiction, so let's talk about luck in games. You might find something like this:

50% chance to evade an attack

15% chance to deal critical damage

17% chance to stun

20% chance to make a counterattack

And all of those barely happen to your character. In worse scenario, it usually happens when the enemy has those chances and, ta-daa! You died instantly. One other thing, because I copied those chances based on another game (not Elsword, of course), there's a chance you're familiar with the numbers and descriptions.

Everyone knows that one thing we hate because of luck: Gacha.

Imagine you have to spend around 100 tickets just to get some ultra rare sh-t while someone be like "yay first try!"

Alright! Enough of the irrelevant intro.

Just like the other common stories, this story takes place in a school.

Elrios School. You ask why only one school? Well, I'm sure you can go all the way from Ruben to Lanox less than one hour, so… Elrios is pretty small, isn't it?

There's this sad life unlucky student with no future.

"Shut up, author! Now that you picked me as the main character, I won't get lucky for the next 10 years!" the red head student yelled at the author.

Yes, breaking the 4th wall is my thing.

Meet Elsword (let's just call him Els for short), the unluckiest guy in Elrios. He has bad score at any kind of subjects.

"Yeah. Thanks to my curse, the teachers always think I'm cheating on every subject, then I get scolded by my whole family," Els sighed. "They always say 'you brought shame to your family' or whatever, so can I just get out from my family?"

…Are you expecting a friend? Not gonna happen!

"See? You took my one chance to get lucky!" Els protested at the author.

Just now, there's a loud explosion near him. He looks at his only classmate in class.

Dead.

Els narrows his eyes, unexpectedly not surprised by what just happened. "What the hell, author? What do you want? Can't find another plot?" After that, he realizes his classmate and him are the only one in the classroom. A few seconds later, the others come because of the explosion and see one of their classmates died. They scream, and some of them faint.

"You killed him!" they shouted.

"You guys won't hear my explanation?" Els asked calmly. He knows everyone will suspect him immediately. Of course, the answer is no. Well, no one was there except them, so why would they need an explanation.

A girl similar with Els comes up. No, not his clone or twin. It's his older sister. She runs to her brother and slams the table. "Elsword, this is a joke, right?! Y-You didn't kill him, right?!"

Els avoids eye contact with her sister. "I guess you don't trust me either, sis."

Elesis shakes her head (not that Els saw her doing that anyway). "It's not because I don't trust you. I want to believe in you. Please, tell me the truth! You'll get expelled if—"

The word "expelled" makes Els smiles slightly. What is he doing in school anyway? Maybe it would be better if he could go on an adventure or something like that. "I won't tell you."

"Please, tell me. I need to know. I can't just let them suspect you!" Elesis begged. Tears are flowing from her eyes. She'll do anything to find the truth. If her brother really killed his classmate, he wouldn't stay around here. That just makes him even more suspicious. But seeing Els calm like this, she believes he's not the killer.

"So there won't be a murderer in our family, right? What else?" Els asked, feeling annoyed. "No matter how hard I tried to defend myself, there will be no evidence."

"There must be some evidences!" Elesis shouted.

"No. You're wrong, sis," Els smiled as he looked at his sister.

"The author just got rid of my luck."

As Els said, there's no evidence to prove he's not the killer. Now he's on the Principal's Room.

"It's weird, isn't it?" a silver haired Nasod asked as she looked at the crime scene.

"By the way, he said he did kill him, but I'm not sure," a blonde girl said to the Nasod. "Remember what he confessed?"

"I put a time bomb inside his bag. I thought I got lucky for the first time that no one saw me, but in the end everyone knew I'm guilty, right?"

"If he put a time bomb by himself, he should know when the bomb is going to explode. He wouldn't just stay there," the Nasod replied. "Anyway, I'm not sure it's really a time bomb. You need to lure everyone except that one guy to get out from the class, but the homeroom teacher said he didn't go anywhere."

The blonde girl shakes her head. "He could talk to them one by one."

"Nobody listen to him. You know that already," the Nasod disagreed.

"After Elesis talked with him, she said he did kill him," the blonde girl reminded.

The Nasod walks away as the blonde girl follows her. "Elesis is some kind of idiot. All of her brother's cases are unsolved case. This school just assumed he did it, with no evidence."

"But—"

"By the way, Els has no motive," the Nasod cut the blonde girl's word. For some reason, the Nasod really wants to investigate. She asks the victim's classmates and friends what they were doing and where they were before the explosion happen. After that, she goes to the places they went.

The Nasod smiles. "This case isn't that hard to solve." She's holding a broken remote control. "If only the true killer used a glove or at least wiped her fingerprint, we wouldn't solve it."

The blonde girl sighs. "So are you saying the bomb is IED and you can jump to a conclusion?"

Without any more words, the Nasod goes to the Principal's Room.

The Nasod opens the door. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Els is not the killer."

Everyone in the room turns their face to the Nasod, including the blonde girl. Els startles. "Eve?! Rose?!"

The Nasod, Eve, smiles. "I'm sorry, Els. If you're really the killer, you should know that the bomb is IED."

Seeing everyone confused, Eve continues her words, "IED, Improvised Explosive Device, is a bomb that needs a trigger to explode," Eve shows the broken remote control, "Luckily I found this."

For Els, it's not lucky at all.

After a long explanation from Eve, Els is no longer a suspect and free from punishment. Because of this incident, the school time ends early.

Rose sighs as she smiles. "That bomb is pretty dangerous, you know. I guess this time you're so lucky that you're alive."

"No, I'm not," Els muttered. Nobody knows how much he wants to die, but all dangerous things he faced just didn't kill him.

Is it luck? Or is it not?

Elesis glomps at Els. "I know I can rely on my luck! Els, you're safe!"

Unlike Els, Elesis is very lucky. Pretty good reason for Els to hate his sister. "Let's go home, brother!"

Els declines her offer. Elesis just sighs because she knows her brother too well. She decides to go home with her friends.

"Why are you still here?" Els asked the Nasod beside him.

"Why are you still here?" Eve asked the same question. "It's not good to be alone. You need at least one friend."

"I don't need friend."

"Yes, you do. I know what's wrong with you."

Els rolls his eyes. "I'm unlucky. Everyone knows that!"

Eve smirks. "I know what's wrong with your body."

Els stares at her. "As expected from Queen of Nasods, I guess?"

"As a good senior, I shall be your friend," she replied.

"I don't need friend," Els insisted. "Anyway, I'm going home—"

Just when Els takes a step outside, the rain falls.

Eve giggles as she shares her umbrella with Els. "I know this would happen. I don't think you're just unlucky. It might be a curse."

"Even the nature hates me," Els sighed.

"And I know you're going to get scolded when you arrive at home. Want to stay at my house for a while?" Eve invited. "You can trust me."

Els is trying to process her words. This is too sudden. In fact, Eve is the first one who wants to be his friend. "Alright—"

Before he could finish his words, he trips over a rock. Fortunately, Eve is there to catch him. She holds his hand, "Just to make sure I can act quickly before something happened to you."

For the first time, Els thinks he could trust someone.

And for the second time, the author takes his luck—which means he won't get lucky for the next 20 years.

After 53 years, I finally write something and didn't continue my previous fanfics. Don't worry! I won't abandon them!

Anyway, about the irrelevant introduction, I wrote that based on my experience, so... XD

I'll appreciate critics and other things. Thanks for reading!
