Chapter 52: Tragedy
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric

“Return it to me! That was my belt!!! Wuu…Wuuuuuuuuu! For it, I was willing to pay anything. Why must you snatch away my final hope!!!” The female Dark Elf’s face was full of tears, but she still resiliently held onto Krose’s waist, her tears wetting the other party’s chests.
“Let go!” Krose also felt like crying. She only picked up a belt from a ‘Child of Greed’ and she just wanted to give it a try seeing how pretty it was. How did it end up like this?
The comrades from 4 Courts 1 Hall all looked at Krose with sympathy… Alright, let’s ignore those people whose faces were smiling weirdly and those mysterious saliva, let’s treat those as sympathy as well.
“You took away my final hope. I… I’m going to kill you!” The immature Victoria raised her fist, intending to do a double suicide with Krose.
“I… I’m even worse than you. I even had a fiancée!! I was going to return to my old home to marry in 50 years! Wu… Wuuuuuu.”
Remembering her childhood sweetheart, the weak Krose sat down on the floor, paralyzed, as tears flowed freely down her face.
“Wuuuu… why are we so unfortunate? We should both be men.”
Looking at Krose who cursed to the same fate as her, Victoria’s put down her little fist she was waving about. In the end, the ill-fated ‘girls’ hugged together and started bawling.
Helpless, I shook my head. I might not have done it intentionally, but I did have to take responsibility for this incident. At least, I should try to think of some ideas to end this farce.
“Actually, this world’s Necromancy is much more effective than plastic surgery and sex-change. Organ transplant can’t even count as a minor surgery. If both of them all don’t mind using other people’s organs, why don’t I ask them whether they would like me to help them do a little surgery.”
In the end, I gave up on this idea that could solve the crux of the problem. Somehow, I felt like if I said it out, not only would I get beaten up, the remaining dignity and chastity that I had remaining would be lost.
“I better look for other ideas…”
In this moment, the system jumped out to brush up its existence and look for trouble.
[Ding! Number… Alright, the system doesn’t recall how many people have met with misfortune because of you. But, even the system can’t look on at such a tragedy, so I think I better award you something. You have been awarded the noble title: The Star of Misfortune1. After equipping this title, you will gain the passive skill ‘Aura of Plague’. This title cannot be hidden and the aura is permanently active.]
[The Star of Misfortune: In daily life, you have always seen the looks of other people meeting with misfortune. In fact, you even started thinking that this was the normal flow of the world. However, one day, you realized that you were the source of all their misfortune! After equipping the title, Charisma -10, Damage you take from little animals will be tripled.]
[Aura of Plague: For some reason, the pets you keep always die, the people you meet are also unfortunate. If someone felt that his life was all successful and feared nothing or when someone felt that his life couldn’t get worse than it is, then, he must have yet to meet you.]
[Effects of the Aura: Hidden stat Luck +10%. Yes, increase, you didn’t see wrongly. However, as long as there is a possibility of meeting with misfortune, even if the chances are only 1%, someone is bound to meet with it. The lower the Luck, the higher the chances of meeting with the misfortune. If there’s no one who takes the blow, then the one who will be unfortunate will be you! PS: The Aura does’t work on Lancer and the female lead of Korean dramas. Why? You know that the same effects can’t be stacked. If we are talking about misfortune, their ‘Lancer and Supporting Cast Is Bound to Meet with Tragedy1’ is much stronger than your ‘Aura of Plague’!] 1
[Now you know why I increased your Luck right? Go and find some unlucky fellows to serve as your lightning rods.]
I finally understood what it meant for the system to acknowledge that you were a Star of Misfortune.
That negative effects of the -10 Charisma, for my -88 Charisma, there was actually not much meaning to it. Anyway, I could already use my face to scare off other people. Then, there wasn’t much of a difference between scaring a few and scaring dozens of people. 1
However, this was the first time that I had become aware that there was actually a Luck stat in this world… Somehow, even if the system didn’t show it, I knew that my Luck was bound to be shockingly low.
However, I was a little interested in the Aura of Plague. Experts had to learn to use every factor that could be used, even if the factor looked like it was a prank and was screwed up. It’s hard to say that maybe a precious jewel could be found in a little stone by the side of the road.
“The lower the Luck, the easier to meet with misfortune huh? Then… Let me give it a try.”
Casually picking up 3 stones, I threw one of them into the sky with all of my might.
After it flew halfway up in the sky, a strong wind blew and after a beautiful arc of trajectory, ‘peng’, it happened to knock onto Roland No.2 which was under repairs and slid down the gigantic Robot’s body.
‘Dang, dang, dang.’ After several rebounds, it finally found its target.
“AH! IT HURTS!!! Who was it, who was it? Who was the inconsiderate one?!” The stone happened to hit on the head of Centaur Anya who was hired as chef. Then, it slid down…
“AHHHHHHH. ANYA’S SOUP!! AH. MY PLATE! DON’T, THAT VASE IS VERY EXPENSIVE. UNCLE HENRY WILL KILL ME!!”
The stone rebound between a few porcelains. ‘Pah pah pah’, ‘guang dang guang dang’, After a few crisp sounds, under Anya frantically trying to salvage the situation, all of them broke into fragments.
In reality, seeing the situation clearly, if she hadn’t moved at all, she would have only destroyed a plate at most. However, she ran about with her 4 hoofs and clumsily tried to grab the stone, overturning several tables on the way, causing all of the plates and porcelain to shatter.
“The person with the lowest Luck has appeared huh? Poor child, I hope that you can pay that off with 1 month of your wages.”
Sympathetically shaking my head, I stared at the figure who was grabbing the broken plates, trying to put them back together. Noticing the silhouette behind her, I decided to give her a helping hand.
“That, Diana, go and help Anya. Beifeng has set his gaze on her and is currently laughing indecently by the window. Don’t let him succeed and there’s no need to consider my reputation. Just beat up him until he’s on the verge of death. You don’t have to be worried about him dying, the Gold-rank Hunter is actually quite sturdy.”
I send the Town Security team off with my gaze. Currently, the one who had the lowest Luck stat was indubitably, the unlucky Centaur Anya who lost several jobs due to our appearance. 1
“The second…” After hesitating for a moment, I still decided to give it a try.
This time, despite a wind blowing, the stone actually bizarrely maintains its previous motion and simply flew straight up and down.
“It couldn’t be, it’s me….”
Just when it was about to hit my head, the wind blew again and floating with the wind, it hit on the head of another unlucky fellow.
“Ah, it hurts!”
The unlucky Victoria happened to take the blow. The small rock fell into her long hair and the uncomfortable Victoria shook her head forcefully, causing the stone to fly out.
“Bo.” That was the crisp sound of the lumps of flesh hitting each other. The thing that shouldn’t exist shook uncontrollably due to the impact of external force and under the rough motions, the shirt which was already stretched to its limit finally broke. Snow-white flesh bounced out and Krose immediately turned red.
This wasn’t the end yet…
“AHHHHHHHHHH!” Following the exclamation of the lechers, the rock continued to slide downwards into her pants. At this moment, the panicking Krose started to cry again.
“Don’t move, big sister. Let me retrieve it for you.” Due to their equally ill fate, Victoria, who had just forged a strong revolutionary friendship as ‘sisters’ with her, took the initiative to put her hands into the other party’s pants to search for the stone.
“STOP!!” But Krose, who was frightened by the situation, felt extreme fear at the foreign feeling between her thighs and was shivering. She immediately grabbed the demonic hand which was about to do evil. In the end, it turned into a ‘physical fight’ between two ‘sisters’. The wolves in the surrounding were agitated and howling about, especially in response to Krose’s opened shirt.
Alright, I better clean up my own mess. It was too dangerous to allow this situation to develop like that.
Will I admit that the scene of the exposure of the two top beauties gave me an urge to roar to the heavens.
“Yawen, take those bastards whose male hormones are excessively secreted to… to the kitchen to clean it up.”
Not far away, the Town Security team was currently lynching Beifeng who was intending to ‘hunt’. On the other side, Anya kept apologizing to Head Chef Henry of the kitchen while picking up the broken fragments.
Alright, in reality, fearing that she would be fired, the panicking her was still destroying the kitchen.
“Pah!” “Why did it break!! Anya didn’t do it on purpose. Uncle, please don’t fire me!! Anya will2 tried her best to clean up. AHHHH, why did it break again.” 1
“Go quickly, before the clumsy Centaur destroys all of our tableware, causing us to be unable to eat our dinner!”
Just two stones had brought terror of another meaning here. Looking at the final stone in my palm, I shivered. Perhaps, this stone might be even more dangerous than the Eternal Night Scepter that I made with all my effort.
“Un, so was the 2nd one Victoria of Krose? Forget it, it’s roughly the same. I’ll just rank both of them as #2. Since I already have 3 lightning rods, as long as they are beside me, I don’t have to be worried about the effects of the Aura of Plague. No, for such a thing like a lightning rod, it’s better to have more.”
After making up my decision to continue, I cast a Dash Spell on myself and flew far away so as to not affect those around me.
“Go, my lightning rod detector. Show me who is the next unlucky fellow!!”
But, the stone disappeared from sight the instant it flew out. It actually followed the draft of the wind all the way up to the clouds. Then, a roar could be heard.
“Which bastard’s throwing stuff at other people!! I !*$%…?”
It’s Little Red’s voice. Recently, people had been knocking at her door and beating her up. As she had yet to get even with them despite suffering under them, her resentment had been piling up.
“It’s Little Red? Isn’t her luck quite good normally? Hehe, looks like this toy wasn’t very accurate.”
“So it’s you bastard!! You’re the reason why I’ve been so unlucky recently! You still dare to challenge me! Eat my Body Slam!!”
Fine, looking at the dark silhouette which kept growing bigger and the angry roar, I corrected my judgement.
“Oh, so I was the 3rd one. Un, I better keep a lightning rod by my side at all times in the future.”
Cough… Let’s not talk about how I caused chaos and how I managed to escape with my life. After this incident, I was resolved to bring along a person with lower Luck than me at all times.
After that, as lightning rods, I felt quite bad for Victoria and Krose who helped me avert quite a few calamities. In the end, I found a far-fetched solution to it.
[“Spring of Drowned Man.” A magical spring from an old manga1. It can grant a unique physique to a female, such that when coming in contact with hot water, she will be turned into a male, and when coming in contact with cold water, she will turned back into a female. ] 1
In order to win this rare treasure from a foreign world, I spent a lot of points and a few Lottery chances and finally got what I wanted, but…
There was only one Spring of Drowned Man…
At that moment, Krose and Victoria who had become even closer than blood-related sisters, at the opportunity to become an incomplete man, they fought each other and in the end, under the effects of a certain Aura of Plague, the spring water ended up being overturned on an unlucky passer-by…
“Tragedy!!”
