Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part1 (1/2)
I thought absentmindedly about why I was Akira's room Akira was a friend of mine when I was in middle school
Where aic Isn't thisAkira's room? Why am I here?
There wasn't anyone else in the room besides me
The ame) and a pair of ten-sided dice lay upon the kotatsu in the room
Ten-sided dice huh How nostalgicwait a second, ”Tunnels & Dragons”? ”T&D”? Isn’t this outright plagiarism?
I couldn't help but smile at the title that combined two faeons & Dragons)
Suddenly, I heard Akira's voice
”Hey, Yatarou Hurry up and make your character You're the only one left”
I looked around but still couldn't see anyone Without particularlyit, I reply
”Sorry I still haven't read the gaive me some more time”
”I guess it can't be helped then Make it quick”
I opened T&D's h it As I read it, I realized that T&D wasn’t very different from the TRPGs I'm familiar with I quickly skipped over the trivial parts and focused my attention on the important information
Hmm First, ureCharacter Points (CPs) CPs are used to acquire skills and strengthen the status I’ll also be configuringenviron to be decided There’s quite a variety of outco part of the royal fa a slave In addition toto be deterure the location of my birthplace It’s possible for me to be born in places like the city or the countrysideWow It's unexpectedly detailed Ulti to be decided by the ten-sided dice huh?
It see to explain how the status works
My ten statuses would be assigned a nu from 1 to 100 The numbers were determined by my rolls with the two ten-sided dice The statuses were: physical strength, reflexes, body th, intelligence, dexterity, appearance and charm
I knohat it th and reflexes but what the heck is body”this status affects the accuracy and success rate of physical movements” isn't really an explanation
It's also written in the enerally have an average value of 50 and a standard deviation of 10
Based on the three-sigma of ten means that there is a 997 chance that an NPC’s status value lies in between 20 and 30 Which is basically basically 100 if we use the five-sight be possible for onist of an RPG or so
I suddenly discovered an interesting rule
It's possible to re-roll the dice when creating my character However, I can only re-roll once CPs can be used in combination with the re-rolls For example, if I roll a number that’s less than the number of CPs of I've used, that number is also re-rolled The point is that I can eli CPs If I spend 30 CPs and end up rolling a number less than 30, then that nuain I see
Having understood the rule, I pick up the ten-sided dice It’s been a long time since I’ve even touched a die The cold plastic surface causes me to remember the past
How nostalgic Ten-sided dice usually roll pretty well, if I remember correctly Let’s turn the side with the zero up like usual
Holding the dice with the zero facing up was a peculiar habit of mine
I felt a bit aotten that habit It was time for my race to be chosen
The six races consisted of the draconians, demons, elves, dwarves, beastmen and hu CPs into one of theoing to be a completely random selection
Other than the human race, I was fine with all of them There was some anxiety since this was my first toss
I stiffly toss the dice and watched as they fell onto the tabletop of the kotatsu
They lightly roll around for a while on the tabletop and finally come to a stop Based on the number combination in the manual, the human race has been chosen
I'll be setting my status next However, since I didn’t care about ood ti one ten-sided die three ti the three nu value can range from 1 all the way to 1000
Three typical tosses would probably give a value between 100 and 200 For this, it would be better fora lot of CPs allowsskills I could also spend the points on configuringenvironment
I rolled the single ten-sided die
The result of the first toss is a ”9” I clench n
The result of the second toss is a ”10” With this, I'uaranteed at least 90 CPs It's finally time for the decisive third toss I softly shouted, ”Go!” and rolled the die
The number shown by the ten-sided die was a ”2”
Eh? Two?well, whatever Let's roll again There's a 10 chance the next nureater than two The reward definitely exceeds the risk here
I rejected the nuain, I carefully tossed the die
The ten-sided die rolled while softly clicking and clacking and then stopped after a few seconds
The nuain display a guts pose no one could see
Let's go! Multiplying 9, 10, and 9 gives me 810 points Even if my status turns out to be too loould still be able to recover Sorry everyone, let me have this cheat character Fufufu
I gaze at
Akira suddenly urges me, ”Hurry up You're so slow”
”Oops, sorry for getting carried away”
Feeling slightly flustered, I return back to configuring my status
I decided to setwith physical strength
The dice were tossed with th: 35, Reflexes: 82, Body Manipulation: 83, Staence: 99, Dexterity: 45, Appearance: 87 and Charm: 81
Those values are good enough Based on these values,that I will need to leave the physical labor to other people though
Feeling satisfied with my status, I shi+ft my attention to the manual's section on the acquisition of skills
According to its explanation, skills can be granted tomy CPs on ”abilities” or ”special abilities”
