Chapter3. DICE(3)

A girl was stnading there. She was somehow strange, though. Her hair was pure white, and her eyes were light pink. That colors reminded Fai...

'Sakura's feather?'

He thought.

"Are you X?"

The girl asked suddenly.

"I beg your pardon?"

"X. The game master of Dicers."

"Oh, sorry. I'm not a Dicer. In fact, I just arrived here few hours ago."

Fai told her kindly. She looked disappointed.

"Oh, I just... felt strong energy from here... I'm sorry. But I'm still wondering what kind of power you have. My name's Dora, anyway. I'll be pleased if you tell me what your power is. It's certainly not from dice..."

Her word trailed as she looked at him hopefully.

"Did you heard about magic?"

The magician began with a simple question. Dora nodded.

"Yeah, it's like DP using skills, I guess."

"Wait, I still don't understand this Dicer things. Will you tell me first?"

"All right."

It almost took all night explaining The Dice to this curious stranger. The Dice is an object that can change the Dicer's current status. Such as strength, speed, intelligence, looking, or even luck. The ordinary dice(Blue Dice) is used for this upgrade. After using it, the color turns red. But for special skills, you need Golden Dice. If you roll it, you can get one of the six original skills: TELEPORTATION, TIME PAUSE, LEVITATION, CLOAKING, PSYCHOKINESIS, and CLAIRVOYANT.

You can upgrade those skills with Strengthening Dice and extra DP. For example, if you upgrade LEVITATION, it can become GRAVITY SHIELD or somthing.

"But how do I get the ordinary dice in the first place?"

Fai asked, interrupting Dora.

"Well, we recieve 'quest' from X. He order us to do somthing. Sometimes easy, like solving math problems, but sometimes very hard, like killing your friend, or family... If you complete the quest, you can get dices as reward."

Fai flinched at the word 'killing your friend or family', but quickly went back to his common smiling face.

"It's a marvelous system. I've never heard of them before. Wow, there really are a lot of kinds of worlds."

"World...hmm...now will you explain your 'magic' things? We promised."

"Oh, right. Let's talk about magic."

The naxt day, Dongtae went to school as usual. Then he found some of his classmates missing.

"Do you know what happened to them, Mio?"

He asked another Dicer, Mio. She shook her head.

"No, I'm not sure. Maybe another fight, I guess. There have been so many fights since... you know."

Mio's word reminded Dongtae his friend again. After Dongtae's first recieving a dice from Taebin, he gave Byeongchul a dice. Byeongchul was too smart, though. He wanted to know how the dice exactly worked, and who this 'X' is. He tried to hack X. And at that night, X had gave him a quest, to crash into his school and to burn his classroom. Byeongchul had tried, and partly succeeded, but when he tried to escape, he was seen by a school guard, and he accidently lost his grip, letting his own body fall.

Dices were spread from his pocket. And the next day, very large amount of students picked up Byeongchul's dices. Many things happened after his death. Almost everyone in his school became Dicers, and when the Golden Dice was first found, X changed the rules.

PVP. Students fought each other to gain more dices. They even started to take Golden Dice, the skill, by force. Sometimes it worked, changing an A-ranker(who have DP skills). Classmates' absence was not a strange thing.

But not this much. Something must have been wrong.
