I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 409 - 1: My Name is Simmons, I Was Once a Woman

Chapter 409: Chapter 1: My Name is Simmons, I Was Once a Woman

My name is Simmons. My soul does not belong to this world. I come from the Capet Dynasty of the France Kingdom. I’m a woman, or to be precise, I was a woman in my past life.

I’m a supporter of the women’s liberation movement, which led me to the guillotine. At the moment of death, I felt fear and some regret. I didn’t expect to wake up as a child.

Dao Yuan Continent, a strange place where there truly are gods, yet the situation here is equally dire. Alright, I’m quite uncomfortable with suddenly becoming a man, even though I’m clearly a woman. I love playing with Celestia, and my family thinks I’m too weak, to the point of disdain, so they sent me to the Secret Castle.

As a child, if not for the thoughts from my previous life, I would have been scared to death, with ghosts floating everywhere. Fortunately, upon contacting them, I found they didn’t really have ill intentions and could communicate. Relying on being more mature than other children, I gained some advantages, and life was fairly manageable.

Later, I met a unique child accompanied by several Immortals wherever he goes, including red-robed Immortals. People who come here are special, and he’s the most special. The Immortals call him Avogadro.

This person seems very cold and dangerous, not easy to approach. But sometimes I see him secretly helping others. I think he shouldn’t be a bad person, yet his existence itself is extremely dangerous, so I choose to keep my distance.

Eventually, I successfully obtained a Divine Relic from Secret Castle and returned to Hedan, and life improved. My family began to see me differently. As I grew up, I gradually got used to my male identity. Sometimes, it’s convenient being a man, standing up, not having monthly troubles. Of course, Celestia still says I lack masculine charm, but I think it’s already good enough that I persist in not liking men.

Faced with the choice between Canon Law School or Knight Academy, I courageously appeared to choose Canon Law School. Actually, only a fool would go to Knight Academy. The Canon Law School has an air of freedom. At Canon Law School, I have friends, can speak loudly, and pursue art, which is what I yearn for.

I brought the team from Saint Grace Canon Law School to Lilon not for any school exchange or study, but simply to travel and see around.

To travel further, I took an extra trip to the Celestial Capital under the guise of acquiring a batch of Hex-Tech guns, and then I encountered Avogadro. Oh, he’s called Li Xin. Honestly, it nearly scared the soul out of me. No one knows better than me about his special status in Secret Castle. From my understanding of arcane knowledge, the less conspicuous they seem, the more dangerous they actually are.

So I decisively left, and rightly so. A tragic incident erupted in the Celestial Capital, definitely related to him. Back in Hedan, I often feel happy about my wisdom and decisiveness until I went to an inn called Lilon to grab some snacks. You might wonder why a man would crave food?

Then I saw him again. My soul almost dispersed, but thankfully, he didn’t do anything to me. It seemed his situation wasn’t great. Bah, don’t be fooled by appearances. People like him always have peculiarities.

To avoid angering him, I was forced to do some things with him. But during our interactions, my thoughts changed. I shouldn’t be prejudiced. Actually, he was already helping others in Secret Castle. I heard the deceased Archbishop in the Celestial Capital was a Fallen. I feel ashamed of my previous shallowness.

Later, we went to my Holy Land. He was truly amazing. I have some admiration for him. I originally intended just to lend a hand, but it turned into my trial. With his help, I grasped the Thunder ability. What kind of person would help others like this?

He said it’s the bond between brothers. Sometimes I have thoughts I shouldn’t.

During a trial, I fell into the mist below. My first reaction was that it’s over, but he was dragged into the abyss to save me. In the abyss, I wasn’t completely unconscious, yet surprisingly I wasn’t afraid. I could trust him unconditionally. Turns out we didn’t die. When facing the inquiries from the Metropolitan and my grandfather, I chose to keep it a secret.

The Twelve Zodiac Star Disc is an interesting place. Miss Aries... I feel it’s Princess Estella, but... let’s play dumb, being too smart isn’t good.

Mr. Taurus is a very mature adventurer.

Mr. Cancer, a proud good person, stubborn, probably not likable in life. But this kind of person sincerely helps friends and wouldn’t stab in the back. Poor guy, can’t he see Miss Aries isn’t interested in him at all?

Mr. Leo’s plight is very sympathetic, it truly is a tragic world. Unfortunately, I’m too weak to offer any help.

The scale, oh, I am Mr. Libra. It would’ve been interesting if I turned into Miss Libra, but being a man isn’t unacceptable.

Hedan’s situation is ever-changing. I really thought my family and I were done for. In this level of power struggle, personal strength is insignificant. The royal authority of the Sixth Epoch has greatly improved, but it still pales in comparison to ecclesiastical power. The Church Court reveres the law, not royal power. Deep down, they don’t see the royalty as significant, let alone ordinary people. This is more detestable than the royal power in my previous life. I think it would be great if a hero could stand up at this moment.

There truly is a hero, Oliver died, the Church Court submitted. I guess that person must be Brother Li. Later, the family regained power, and I became the family leader, saw the internal reports, that mysterious person had to be him.

If the New Epoch has a leader, that person must be him too. I hope he’s safe, no, he certainly will be.

Regarding the Dragon Mother, my feelings are complex. At that time, it must have been the spell, but after that day, instead, I felt relieved. It was the best choice as I decided to accept fate. Yet, astonishingly, the Dragon Mother left without a word. What does this mean?

Betrayed after starting a relationship?

No way, I must find her!

***

Early morning in Hedan, as the sun was just rising, an elderly man with a cane appeared on Awuro Mountain, leading two sheep with a black cat standing on the sheep, covered in dew. It seemed they’d been walking for a long time, this strange trio heading up the slope. The black cat occasionally meowed, its expression enigmatic, not like a good kitty.

Bang...

The black cat’s head was tapped with the cane. "Stop cursing, how come we’re not there yet?" Old Fang lazily said.

The black cat clutched its head, twisted its body, but dared not complain. It truly couldn’t offend this person, pointing forwards with a paw. There, ahead, a mound resembling a gravestone came into view, slightly cleared around. Yet, this mound is peculiar, with withered trees around and several small animal carcasses, shriveled as if drained of something.

The black cat’s fur suddenly stood on end, darting to the nearby tree, sensing danger and refusing to move forward. Old Fang led the two sheep past, also exiting the mound’s range.

The two sheep looked at Old Fang in confusion and were immediately stuck by something, soon dropping to the ground lifeless.

The mound trembled, a hand broke through the soil.

Li Xin emerged from the ground, gulped the fresh morning air, never imagined he’d see daylight again.

"Young Master Xin, how’s it feel to rise again?" Old Fang said with a smile, lighting a cigarette, seemed the ancestral skills were still effective.

Li Xin supported himself, breathing deeply the fresh air, feeling the vitality between the trees, licking his lips: "Surviving disaster means fortune to come, give me one."

"Such auspicious words, Young Master understands destiny well, though you owe me two sheep," Old Fang chuckled, handing one over.

"I’ll provide for your old age." Li Xin took the cigarette, deeply inhaled as if reviving, a long exhale released the smoke ring, feeling everything around, being alive is great.

"No, absolutely not, don’t let me retire yet. My old bones can’t handle it." Old Fang waving hurriedly.

Seeing Li Xin alive, Justin realized a change in its cat-life, immediately currying favor and paddled over, beating its feline chest, meowing loudly about its contributions in tracking him.

"Heading down the mountain, going home, let’s have a good meal first!" Li Xin said, stretching.

Old Fang looked at Li Xin remaining calm after surviving, smiling, "Borrow the cane."

Li Xin took the cane, quite handy, "Remember to pick me up if I topple over."

"Young Master Xin, quite humorous, at most I’ll relinquish my sheep." Old Fang said smilingly.

The elderly, the young man, and the cat walked towards the sunrise down the mountain. Suddenly, Old Fang glanced back at the mountain peak behind.

At Awuro Mountain top, two silhouettes stood silently gazing down the mountain from Withered Wood Monastery entrance.

"Master, is this elder the one from Lilon?" Jialan softly asked.

Alasha nodded, "Life Master’s path reaches this point, the only one in hundreds of years, era transitions, Star Disc activation, the inverse brightness descends, everyone must find their own path."

Then looked at Jialan as pure as stars, Alasha sighed, "You’ve endured grievances."

Jialan blinked mischievously smiling: "Master, there’s still three years, isn’t it?"
