A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

“Don’t worry! There are still magic scrolls left! But Kaiyan, please check what he gave you! It will undoubtedly be a great help against that creature!”

Responding to Rieka’s urging, Kaiyan stepped toward Canien and called up the skill window first.

Ding! [Steady Steps (U): Walk without fear, believing in your luck, cooldown 24 hours]

“…What is this?”

“It seems like a good skill!”

“Really?”

“…To be honest, I’m not sure either.”

The expectations that had been high until a moment ago were now dashed as Kaiyan read the skill description. It merely advised believing in one’s luck. When it came to skills, shouldn’t there be some clear explanation of what it actually did? Moreover, the “U” rank was a grade Kaiyan had never seen before. He glanced at Rieka.

“If you’re asking about the ‘U’ rank… as far as I know, ‘U’ indicates Unique grade… but if it was genuinely Unique, I would have known the moment I saw it. Something seems off.”

“Ha… Can I trust and use such a skill?”

“Are there other skills that might work? Let’s check others! There must be an excellent skill among them!”

Encouraged not to lose hope by Rieka’s gaze, Kaiyan hesitantly opened another skill.

Ding! [Luck Vault (U): Random luck accumulates over time. When using the skill, you can receive special items based on the accumulated luck points. Shout ‘Luck Vault Check’ to check your accumulated luck.]

“I think this one… might be related to that guy I met earlier.”

Although it seemed better than the skill he had just checked, the description was still not entirely clear. It mentioned that luck accumulated randomly over time. But what items did it change into, and when was this luck accumulated?

Both skills had in common that they were related to luck and seemed to have incomplete descriptions.

“Hehe… there’s one more left, and it promises special items! I’m looking forward to it!”

“Haah… these skills don’t seem to be of any help against Canien.”

“Can we please check the last skill…”

“Alright, but I won’t get my hopes up.”

Ding! [Random Skill Lottery (U): You can use one random skill among those existing in the player system once. Skill grade is also random, cooldown 24 hours.]

Compared to the first two skills that Kaiyan had checked with disappointment, this last skill felt more welcoming.

“At least I can make use of this one. Rieka, do you know how many skills exist in the player system?”

“I don’t know the exact number, but… it’s probably a little over a million.”

“…Over a million.”

Selecting one random skill from over a million existing skills. Moreover, the grade of the skill retrieved was random. In other words, it meant getting a good skill if you were lucky and getting an unnecessary one if you weren’t.

“It seems to be related to gambling after all…”

It was undoubtedly a feature designed for gambling purposes. Otherwise, why would all three skills he received be in this format?

To avoid dwelling on his thoughts about the skill, Kaiyan shook his head and summoned the inventory. He did this to retrieve the items stored there.

“Now, I only have these two items to rely on.”

“Those are the items you received from that person! Oh! Both of them are player items!”

“Really? Then I can verify with my own eyes.”

The last items he received from the creature were the Golden Die and the Bag of Luck. As Kaiyan wished to know more about them, an explanation appeared before his eyes.

Golden Dice (U)

Type: Dice

Stats: X

Abilities: Dice Game

Lucky Pouch (U)

Type: Bag

Stats: X

Abilities: Equal Exchange

Unfriendly explanations like always.

“Dice Game and Equal Exchange… I won’t know until I try them out, like triggering a wild rage.”

“What if… you use them now? It might give you a way to deal with Canien.”

“But… if something strange happens after that…”

Rieka wasn’t wrong. Right now, there wasn’t any other way to confront Canien.

The only hope was that a good skill would come out of the random skill.

“Why don’t you trust your luck and give it a try?”

Rieka’s words sounded as sweet as a devil’s whisper in Kaiyan’s ears. Perhaps she also knew his current situation and what he needed. After all, she saw the world through him as part of their contract.

If he was indeed such a remarkable being, he would undoubtedly know the current situation. He had no reason to wish for Kaiyan’s death in Canien’s hands.

Kaiyan held the Golden Die in his hand and said, “Dice Game.”

Rattle!

The sound was reminiscent of a spinning wheel, and just like that, the die slipped from his tightly clenched hand and fell to the ground.

Kaiyan lowered his head to examine the die. The number on the top face of the die was 5.

“…A high number. Is that good?”

“Probably. In a dice game, higher numbers are usually better.”

“In that case, I’ll…”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a bright light burst from the Golden Die, and a new message appeared before his eyes.

“Please choose one of the following abilities: Strength, Agility, Stamina, or Intelligence.”

“…Ah, this is not it.”

“That’s right… This is not it.”

While he didn’t know what effect selecting one of the stats would have, what was crucial at the moment was the unexpected light emitted from the Golden Die.

“Kyaah! There was still a pest like you here!”

It seemed Kaiyan had caught Canien’s attention, the same one who had turned the city into dust.
