Chapter 1

Beginner/Amateur

Part 1

—In a past that was far too long ago

The Old Deus co the supreme, sole God on the line and

started a war, along with their servants and created beings

This war lasted for a long, long ti

There was no land that was not stained with blood, and cries of agony had never ceased to echo

through the skies The civilised races hated each other, slaughtered each other, and continued to

repeat their countless killings

The Elves had sic to hunt their enemies

The Dragonias used their bodies for killing purposes, and the werebeasts devoured their prey like

animals

The barren land that was already sed by the sunset was also engulfed by the deeper

darkness due to the aged between the old Deus

The ‘Demon Lords’ and their allied monsters that were created by the Phantasma went rampant

and dominated the land

In this kind of world, it did not matter how many nobles, beauties or warriors there were

Hunificant existence

They had to bet their lives on building their countries and for clans just to survive

The legendary hero who could be hailed by the bards did not appear—and just like that, it was a

blood-stained era This was a story that was far longer and older than the skies, seas and land—

called the ‘Disconnect Board’

However, the war they thought would continue for eternity suddenly ended The skies, seas,

land—and even the stars that filled the skies

They lost the will to continue this unending, weary here they died needlessly and without

enjoying life

And just like that—at this point, the Old Deus with the most amount of power left sat on the only

throne for a sole God

And so, this Deus who had been watching fro from the

war fro till the end

The Deus sat on the throne, looking at the devastation on the land around him He declared to all

the people roa on the land

”—To everyone, who used up all extreth, violence, desperation, and death Show

me proof that you, who built towers of corpses, are civilised beings as you so claim” 'What is the

difference between you and the ‘unintelligent beasts’?

All the races unanience But, in

front of this barren and abandoned world, this discourse was too empty

Ultimately, there was no answer that was accepted by God God said

—From this piece of Heaven, I co or bloodshed Those

words beca law of the world

From that day onwards, [War] disappeared from the world

But the population that considered themselves rational sent complaints to God in unison

Even if [War] has disappeared, [Conflict] still exists—

God said, in that case-

Those of the [Sixteen Races] that claient creatures

Those who use all extreence, ability and financial resources Build

towers of wisdoence

God took out sixteen chess pieces— and laughed maliciously

Thus, the [Ten Oaths] were born, and [War] disappeared from the world All disputes were

resolved by [Games]

That was the law of the sole God, and that God's name was—TET

Part 2

Andalusia continent, the Kingdom of Elchea, the Capital— Elchea

An area li to the northeast of the continent,

was a small country that was located in the westernmost part, but it was more accurate to say that

it was a small city

It was a country that had previously occupied half of the continent in mythical times, but now it

has lost its forlory

What was left was the last of the once great empire— A small and vulnerable country

—More precisely

This was also the last kingdom for the human species

—At the outskirts of the city not far away

A tavern and inn that could only exist in RPG ga

There were two people ere surrounded by irls that were currently

playing a game on a table

One of the girls looked to be around 15 or 16 years old, having red hair while giving out a sense

of elegance with her manners and dress

As for the other person—

Although she looked very alike in age with the redhead, her teave out a

sense of maturity in other peoples' points of view

Wearing a black veil draped over her head, rese shaas a black-haired

girl As for the ongoing gait seemed to be poker

The expressions on both their faces were in deep contrast, with the redhead having a stern look

due to anxiety

On the other hand, the deadpan poker face on the black-haired girl face made everyone peek at

the color of calhly

”Hey, can you hurry it up?”

”An, annoying I a”

—It was a pub, and the already drunken audience roared with vulgar laughter in the broad

daylight

This added a shade of distress onto the red-haired girl's face But in any case——it was a scene

bustling with people

…………—

During a game that was held outside the pub

Sitting at a table in the open air, a young girl earing a hood peered through the

from the side and said ”Howlivelywhat happened?”

”Ah? Don't you foreigners know at all?—-But then again, there aren't any other human countries

left”

Sitting next to the girl as peeping into the ere two people that were playing a

game on the table

The players were a teenage irl, as well as a

beardedbeer belly

The teenager replied

”Ah—because we are fro the

the saame as the ones

inside[Poker]

—Only, the bargaining chips they used were bottle caps

Because of the teenager's coed man said doubtfully

”The so-called humans that don't live in this countryaren't they hermits?” ”Haha, that is

true Okay, so what is all the commotion inside?”

The bearded man was shot back with the sa it

”Right now, there is currently a ga] for Elchea”

With eyes watching the situation in the pub, the hooded girl continued asking ”Electthe

next king?”

”Yes These were the previous king's last words before dying”

[The next king shall not be inherited by blood relations, but the coronation of ”Humanity's

strongest ga to add on the bottle caps, the bearded man said

”In the fight to gamble for the country, the human species were defeated Now there is only

Elchea, which is also the capital of this country—so there was no time to look decent now”

”Huuu, [Ga very, very interesting”

The hooded teen replied

He was very alike to the hooded girl, feeling very concerned and peeping into the pub to look at

the situation ”—Well, why? Are those kids like the candidates to be the next king?”

”Un? The so-called word [Candidate] see as you are a human, anyone

is eligible to participate”

Just— adding these words, the ht towards the tavern

—Obviously playing poker, yet she does not see of the word ”poker

face”

Giving a glance to the red-haired girl whose whining voice could be heard and her intent while

staring at the opponent's hand could be felt, the man said

”That red-haired girl over there is called ”Stephanie Dora”— the previous king's blood kin If

they followed his will, about a non-royal nor blood-related person beco, then she

will lose everything, so her goal is to beco”

The blood kin of that guy who made humanity lose, never expected to have such desperate

children Added theon the noise inside

”Huuu”

”Un[Ga for the country]—even the so-called borders are decided with gaht?”

The hooded girl and teen expressed their feelings

The girl felt admiration The teen felt interest

”Whatever the case, the syste up considerably”

”Round robin?”

”As long as you are a huister your name

Regardless of the ame The loser will be deprived of

qualification while the last ”

—So, the rules are simple The easier it is to understand, the better it is But, the hooded teen

doubtfully said

”It really is that casual, eh Wouldn't there be any problems?”

”As long as you respect the [Ten Oaths], with both sides judging each other, there would be no

restrictions, nor any restriction on the co hat to use and at

what ti for the country”

”No, I don't mean that”

The hooded teen ain The girl

whispered to the teen

”Of course, total defeat” ”Ahh, we think of the sas”

Saying it to each other, the teen took out a square-shaped ite towards

the tavern, he operated it for a while before it sounded with a 'Kacha'

—After that, the hed

”So, little brother? It isn't the tiht?”

Apologizing, the man suddenly spread out his cards

”Full house Sorry, eh”

The ht of the people that would be his later and

leaked out a nasty smile

—But, looking at the hooded teen

He still showed that disinterested face he had since the start But now a reaction came and he

gave out a response

”Eh? Ah—sorry Oh, yes”

Saying this, the teen casually revealed his poker and the ed man stared in disbelief

”A ro, royal straight flush—!?”

Towards the man who stayed eame, the man

got up and roared ”You, you guys cheated ht!?”

”Hey, hey, hey, how rudedo you have any evidence?”

Facing against the teen who exposed a thin set up from his seat, the

mercilessly

”The probability of getting a royal straight flush is only 1/650000, there's no way you could you

get it so easily!” ”Then today ht,

Uncle? You really do have bad luck, eh” Leisurely leaving behind this sentence, the teen spread

his hands wide

”Then, could you get me what you ”bet”?” ”—You deserve to die”

Clucking his tongue, the man took out his wallet and purse

”Article six of the [Ten Oaths], 'As per the oath, the wager will be unconditionally adhered to'—

Okay, I will accept it”

”Thank youUncle”

The hooded teen stood up casually after finishi+ng and left

After nodding with a bow, the girl started chasing after the figure of that teen

At that tiure that see

the two people stroll into the pub

”Hey, although ere all watching fro

you had”?” ”AhOhexpenses”

”No, co you put up all your living expenses?”

Sighing, the bearded man responded listlessly

”They said [Free to do whatever you ith us two]” ”What—”

”Although I felt it was a little too fitting But I thought it would work seeing that they are

from the countrysideSo how?”

”You can't do anything about itOh yeah, which one would you choose?” ”—Ha?”

”Butbisexual or lolicon, both are out of your league, eh” ”Wuh- hey, hey, wait a moment!”

”What, ah~ don't worry, I will keep it a secret from Kamei-san As a consideration, you have to

treat me♪” ”No, not that! Moreover, my cash has already been taken away! Compared to this—”

”The condition bet did not only include the girl's chastity, it was also equivalent to [Betting two

peoples' lives], but the case of getting a royal straight flush while looking so absent-minded?

What exactly is backing up those two guys”

—………

”Niicunning”

”Ah? Why did that come out from you too”

”Deliberately usingthat kindof cheat that sticks out by a mile”

—Yep, it was exactly what the man had said

The royal straight flush could not have simply appeared that easily

Co openly that you were cheating

But—

”Article eight of the [Ten Oaths], once cheating has been discovered in a game, it will be deemed

as a defeat—” The teen muttered out the rule of this world he had just remembered

”—Whichas you are not found out then you can do it Isn't receiving

acknowledgeument revealed that he had only conducted a simple

experi his waist ”Well, at least we earned sos”

”Niiunderstandshow the money works here?”

”It's iht? But, leave this to me- this is within your brother's field of

expertise” The teen said it with a tone that the bearded man and his friend had never heard,

Before walking into the building that had the inn and tavern

Part 3

Despite the bustling coame on the central table, two people walked

to the counter Reaching the counter, the hooded teen took out his wallet from his purse and

e slowly

”I'd like a roohts will this aet

us?” The figure which had a boss-like aura glanced over quickly

After a moment of hesitation ”One day with three meals”

However, the hooded teen laughed towards this remark— and with his eyes covered by the hood,

continued talking ”Ah haah~I said Ah, after trekking for five nights straight, the fatigue is

enough to kill me We are totally exhausted already—so could you quickly tell me, [How many

nights can we stay]?”

”—What?”

”Although we do look like country people who don't know the monetary value, it's fine with me

if you want to raise the price But, I recommend that when you lie, please take note of your line

of sight and tone of voice, 'kay ~♪”

The teen laughed while saying these words- it appeared that his eyes had a keen radiance that

saw right through hi nervously, he sucked in his lips and replied

”Che Two days, then”

”You see, lying againlet's just compromise this- ten days with meals provided, then”

”Wha! What kind of compromise is that!!? You, fine three days with meals, how

meddlesome!” ”Ah, so it's like that, eh Then a discount, five days with food attached”

”Wuh—”

”You are trying to deceive custo your own pockets

with the ht?”

”Whu, wait, that sort of thing—”

”And you are the owner of this tavern but not the owner of the inn, right? Should I report you?”

He had kept a smile on his face since the start of the conversation

But facing against this teen who spared no pains to negotiate with him, the boss could only make

an aard and stiff expression before replying,

”Little brother, you obviously have a worldly expression, but you're unexpectedly ruthless,

ehI get it, four days with meals provided, how's that?”

”Okay~, thank you for the hospitality♪”

Still wearing that smile, the teen took the room keys from the man's hand

”Your room's at the innermost corner on the third floor What'syour name?”

The hooded youth replied to the soister

”Un~Kuuhaku[8] would do”

Sora purred and spun the keys on his fingers

He suddenly patted the head of his little sister, as ecstatically watching the climax of the

game on the central table

”Look, I finished negotiations, we get to stay for four days You may quickly worshi+p your oniisama—

what are you doing?”

shi+ro was staring at that Stephenso, the person introduced by the bearded man

early on A distressed expression was exposed on that girl's face

Her askew expression made people think that that without a doubt, she did not have a hope of

victory ”That person— will lose”

”Probably So what?”

Revealing her e them, even if there was a chance, she still would not win

Maybe it was as the bearded e of the royal family are stupid

Just when this idea was e in Sora's mind—he realized ”—Ah!”

Then, after figuring out the intentions of his sister's words, he could not help but sigh ”Whoa, so

it is that kind of ……How scary……”

”Un”

shi+ro was sizing up the black-haired girl while nodding at the sighing Sora

”ReallyThis world's cheating methods are truly incredible I don't even want to meet

against these kinds of opponents”

”Nii, shameful”

Probably provoking hiot serious and countered back

”Heh, don't be silly No matter how clever a cheat is, it depends on how you apply it” ”……Nii,

could youbeat it?”

”—But this really is worthy of a fantasy world, eh There really isn't any sense of reality here,

yet we both have a coIs it because we've played too many

games?”

Sora did not answer his little sister's question, but instead headed for the third story of the

building while ra about non-related topics

”Really, I askeda stupid question” shi+ro suddenly apologized

—Indeed, for 『 』 , failure was almost impossible

Thenaftercontact by the shoulders

For some reason—Sora turned towards Stephwhatever, the red-haired girl He thought

about it in hissoftly ”Oh, come oncan't you see

you're being cheated?”

”—Eh?”

The girl with the striking red hair and contrasting round blue eyes suddenly glanced over

Even as he felt the girl as ureSora did

not utter another word and went straight towards the door of the room

Part 4

Along with the turn of the key in the lock, cae

let out a squeaking sound before the door opened

Inside the room— it ood that was quite si the house

look kind of cheap The roo could be heard with every footstep on the

floor The table and chairs that were arranged at the corners looked very perfunctory

As for the other things, there was only a bed andThe interior was quite simple

Walking into the roo the door, the both of them removed their hoods

Wearing a T-shi+rt, jeans, and sneakers with matted black hair—Sora

A irl ore a sailor uniform—

shi+ro

Sora removed the borrowed robes that orn, would not look conspicuous in a world like

this, before revealing a relieved look and threw himself on the only bed

Taking the phone out of his pocket— he checked off the task that was planned beforehand ”—

[Goal]: Ensure accoht?” ”Un[9], I

thinkwe can”

After the confirmation, a thousand emotional words were released from the heart

”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,so tired, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” These

words

It was decided early on to never say these until the goal was reached

Afterwards, bursting out as he could no longer contain himself, were the complaints about the

story that came out of Sora's mouth

”There is no such thing as [definitely impossible]- I can't believe that at our first reunion with the

outside world, we had to walk that far”

Si off the robe revealed a folded white sailor unifor the , she

confirmed the scenery

From the , you could barely see it— the cliff onto which they fell ”For humans, as

long as there's a will, then anything can be done”

”Yeah, if there is nowill be done— These realistic words accurately

express our current situation, eh”

Although it was such a negative interpretation— shi+ro still nodded in agreement

”Honestly, I thought that , so I

never expected that ould be able to walk that far”

”Becausewe control the micewith both our feet?”

”Oh— I see! The so-called ' else' thing

was true then!” ”That's notwhat I originally meantI meant”

This coue seemed to have reached its limit shi+ro's eyes were half closed

The little sister, as staggering as if she was going to faint, fell on the bed that Sora was on

Although it didn't show on her face, the pained breath froue could be felt

—This was of course, a natural reaction

No enius she was, she was still an eleven year old girl

Dueling in a chess h to shock anyone with that kind of

stah it was only halfway) For a person

to also walk all the way here without complaints was truly worthy of praise

Because Sora had decided before not to utter out a single complaint

”You worked hard How great— indeed, you are your brother's prided little sister” As if

co his little sister's hair, Sora stroked her head and said that

”Un Find a place to sleepmade surethat was completed”

”Ahhh, and of course, I was afraid of as going to happen to us ere attacked by

those thieves”

—With these words, Sora's o

That is— when both of the dumped in this

world

Part 5

”—Then, what do we do” ”(Shakes head)”

Waking up and regaining a conscious state for the second time

While cursing in his heart that life was being too unreasonable, the fatigued Sora shouted to the

pedestrians passing by

After shi+ro was teh

Both of them felt weary, but they still recovered their co exhausted

Moving away froe of the cliff, they then slumped onto the unpaved roadside

”Nii, why comehere?”

”You see, in an RPG gaht? I remember it was to let

soh some sort of”

Although they didn't knohat extent their practical knowledge about games could help

thes should be placed aside first

”—Well, first things first, let's inventory what things we currently have on hand” Just like any

survival play-off game, Sora said it like this

Understanding the point, both of the out of their pockets What were

taken out—

Were Sora and shi+ro's respective same consoles, two of

them

Two ers, withoutlets

And the last thing was a tablet PC in shi+ro's hand

No ine lost victims with such expensive

equipames

Because no matter where they were, be it on the toilet or in the bathroo a

power outage, they could always play games, so these were items that could not leave their

persons

——Actually, nobody knehether or not these items could be useful in an actual difficult

crisis, they were mysterious and yet substantial pieces of equipment

”Sure enough, electrical waves and the like cannot be received in the fantasy world” Sora

said, while looking at the display screen on his phone that told hie

—But, the backlight of the phone could be used as a flashlight at night, and it could also take

photos The map function—was of course ineffective, but it could still be used as a compass

Sora gave a heartfelt thanks to the recent high level performance developments for smartphones

”Okay, shi+ro, turn off the phone and tablet PC Take advantage of the sun being up and

charge the photo voltaic power generator I downloaded an e-book about games onto that tablet

and in the worst case scenario, ill just use the survival guide”

”Roger—”

shi+ro obediently listened to her brother's words and turned off the equip the

solar charger to charge it up

—When encountering unexpected circu to her brother's instructions was the

best shi+ro knew this due to her own experience

After that, using the power of science (Sora's phone), a direction to head off was

determined

However, using the phone which only had a co thrown

into the sea without any nautical charts, so there weren't any changes in the situation

They were obviously holding the product of the y, yet they

still got lost in the road of life and fell onto the wayside

”—Oh?”

Sora spotted a few people approaching fro towards them

”OHHH! How fantastic, my experience in RPGs really worked!”

”Niithey lookweird”

Finishi+ng this sentence, the group suddenly picked up the pace and enclosed them in a circle

Dressed in green and easy to walk in boots—

”Wowhoa, aren't they thieves!”

Sora could not help but complain to the heavens

Getting lost on the road and their first encounter was actually with [fantasy world thieves!]

Facing against this ferocious bunch, in full accordance with a typical bad guy group— Sora

shi+elded shi+ro with his body while really thinking of cursing the heavens

—But what came out of the thieves' mouths was

”Heheif ya wanna get past— ya gotta play a game with us”

This one sentence s look at each other helplessly— but

”—This, ehthat brat did say that this was [A world where everything is decided by games]”

”Is thathow thieves hereare?”

The two people who quickly accepted that fact compared the thieves from here with the ones

from their oorld They couldn't resist but smile after the comparison This could even be

described as a cute scene co both of them to

break out in laughter

”What are you guys laughing about! If you don't have a game with us, don't even think about

getting past here” Facing against two people ere laughing for no reason were the thieves

The siblings then co a quiet voice that the thieves couldn't

eavesdrop on ”One person deceives the others, then use cheats to cut off their escape route—

what do you feel?” ”Isgood”

Finishi+ng the conversation, Sora clapped his hands with a 'Pa!'

”OK, fine, let's have a shon But unfortunately for us, we are currently penniless” ”Heh, no

matter, then—”

But regardless of what the thieves said, Sora continued

”If we lose then we are at your disposal, regardless of where we are sold to or what is done to

us” ”—Ah?”

The cheeky thief as about to say out a proposal, was abruptly interrupted, before getting

surprised himself, ”In contrast, if in—”
