Fate Items were spread by the powers of the Chaos Faction They were extreinable effects

This inforion known as the Underworld, an area filled with pestilence and blight There, countless creatures roast the lands dotted with ancient tombs In addition to that, the land was also where the undead flourished, being hohouls, and all other sorts of dark entities Aside froic, no others could approach this land

The Spirit Su Scroll was an item used to bypass countless layers of earth and summon spiritual entities directly froht of day

Some Fate Items served as catalysts for Necromancers to summon spirits, while others were dark iteh no matter what their use was, not even Necro these iteested, the outco a Fate Item could only be left up to fate

Nie Yan read over the Cursed Skull’s description

In order to activate its effect, the player was required to crush the skull, whereupon three Fate Dice would be su back The player must roll each die; otherwise, they would be cursed If a four or higher was rolled, then the player would receive a reward If the player rolled a three or lower, however, they would be inflicted with a curse based on the result—the lower the roll, the heavier the penalty Inversely, the higher the roll, the greater the reward

Be it a reward or a curse, opportunity and risk were two sides of the same coin

Additionally, the Cursed Skull would disappear if it wasn’t used within fivethe description, Nie Yan felt an indescribable sensation in his chest The outco this item was hard to predict This was because the summoned dice were rolled by the system, which meant it was impossible to cheat, and thus the end result depended entirely on luck This meant each roll had a fifty percent chance to be a boon and an equal chance to be a curse

The moral of the story was quite simple, and it applied to his current situation rather well If he didn’t use this Cursed Skull and let it fade away, then perhaps he would end up like those villagers, endlessly thinking back to one event with regret

radually exerted an to split under the pressure as he gritted his teeth「Pop!」the Cursed Skull was crushed into pieces

The next twenty seconds passed in co in the vicinity had been frozen in time

Suddenly, an enored in the sky, suspended directly above Nie Yan Each face had a different number carved into it; one to six appeared in ancient, cri to the Spirit race
