Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

[Lucy's POV: ]

Since there were supposed to be nine people attempting the 'wishing' at the same time, El dragged nine people she thought would be the best or had the highest chances of getting something very good, and so, the nine of us were now standing before Kaspin.

"Wow… those nine are doing it together?"

"What will come out this time? What do you think? Something good? Something amazing? Or will some of them end up with some kind of deadly curse?"

"What would happen this time? I wonder if a high-grade artifact will pop up."

"I understand why everyone is excited to see the others. But, who is that person? Why is everyone excited about him as well?"

"Oh? You don't know the 'Lucky Boy'?"

"Who?"

Our group had Ras, Rex, Cathy, Nes, Leon, Lily, and one person aside from the two of us who was perhaps currently the luckiest being on this planet.

"His name is Phill but ever since the start of the academy, there have been interesting talks about how he managed to pass the entrance test thanks to his luck alone."

"They say his answers were so dumb that a five-year-old child would have answered the questions better than he did. And, not only that, he was even lucky during the practical exam."

"They say he ended up in a remote location away from most of the people and just stayed there all the time. However, since the place he had been into was a boss zone that was later cleared by Mister Ragasage, he was able to get some points just for hiding in a crack."

"After joining the academy, some people tried to pick a fight with him, however, a practical weapon practice teacher was passing through that place and ended up seeing how they were harassing him, ultimately resulting in their punishment."

"I have even heard how he was once faced with a great danger that could have resulted in the death of any one of us, but he survived without doing anything, lol. Talk about luck."

"He is a lucky bastard that isn't much famous for anything else. But if we are talking about being a person blessed by Lady Luck, his name is spoken first."

"Lucky boy Phill, as they call him."

The person everyone was showing such interest in was a young-looking boy who had no superior physical or magical abilities. He was one of the closest children in this academy who were called the closest to normal human children.

He looked weak, had no special aura to him, and aside from his inherent Luck stat, there was practically nothing special about this guy.

'However, what made him so special that El herself dragged him with her and made him a part of this group was his luck stat that, despite his shitty overall stats, was more than two hundred points.'

Which was more than what either two of us possessed.

And, on top of that, the quality of his luck was significantly better than most people as well, making him one of the rare few people who could genuinely be called someone blessed by Lady of Luck.

'However, though, the lady of luck is a selfish bitch in truth. I personally don't like saying her name.'

She doesn't have anything to do with anyone's luck since it is a unique system stat that's completely random. Just that she got her name thanks to her own absurd luck, which was the way it was only because of her special skill.

A skill that was now her divine skill and something that she didn't even have to use to make it stronger.

It was part of her epics and the myth she created with that skill at the center of it all made her one of the major constellations of western skies.

'She is a bitch that neither of us likes, while the one similar to her, the 'Deity of the forest of luck' is someone we are quite fond of.'

He knows manners and is much more suited for the title of a constellation instead of some bastards like them.

"Then, let us all start~!" El exclaimed with an excited smile on her face while holding my right hand.

She was standing on one corner while Ned was standing on the other corner with Phill between her and Cathy.

'That poor boy was so stunned by how she suddenly just dragged him without any introduction or explanation that he had been trying to escape away to some other place.

And since she didn't want that, she asked if the two of them could take care of that poor boy.

'Even Nes and Cathy were doubtful about this since he looked so fragile that even a wrong push from them would lead to a bad accident with him.'

But this sister of mine convinced them that it was fine and that they had nothing to worry about. And everything resulted in the current situation with the nine of us standing here.

The others were looking at us and the tree before us was beginning its scanning, which meant it was time for us to do the thing.

[ "Ready darling?" ]

[ "Have been for a while, babe." ]

I called her something she usually doesn't hear from me, and that put a smile on her face.

[ "Then let's start, hehe." ]

-Oooooooooong!

A light erupted from the tree, which was the same as what had happened with the other groups, marking the start of a scanning process that the others knew little about.

'Huuuuuu…'

This was the moment she and I had to do something that was theoretically impossible for any mortal of our levels to pull off, something that was very difficult even for us, however, to do it, we had to be in a shared zone first.

That's why…

'Dive.'

With our link and her parallel minds, we connected our consciousness after diving into a deeper stage of ZONE that was a little difficult to put into simple words…

It was a realm within our minds that a normal person couldn't usually access. It requires one to understand their own mind to a certain extent and to do what we are doing right now, they need something much more fundamental than the understanding of the one they are trying to connect with.

[ "How's it looking?" ]

[ "Better than when we tried it in the game, as I expected. We can definitely do it with this much." ]

The basic bond between two individuals trying to perform this kind of 'sync' was the most important factor in this technique, something we developed after seeing Ras and Sam's special synchronization.

And what they had was a method much more complex than this one since when they do perfect it, they quite literally become a single entity.

But we did not need that.

Just being able to connect our conscious minds was more than enough to obtain that wheel of fortune.

[ "Then, let us start." ]

And the method to obtain it was something like this…

[ "Yes." ]

The two of us will simultaneously think about, pray for, wish for, or long for a certain kind of thing that is ultimately related to luck and try to deal with the scanning process of Kaspin. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝓃𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝑚

And while we are doing it, since it will have to scan the others as well, it would have to stretch itself since their mental structure and luck/chance ratios are quite weird as well.

It would have to use a larger framework to process this information and while it is doing that, we will mix complicated data through our emotions, thoughts, and wishes that will confuse only our wishes.

Ultimately, Kaspin will have to analyze all the data with all that it has, and to do that, it will have to ignore the core security protocols since the foremost thing it has to do, is to 'grant wishes' of those that are qualified. Or simply put, give them something as it was ordered.

And since it is just an egoless authority that has not faced this kind of situation until now, it will do what it is supposed to do first before following the things that it is not supposed to do in certain circumstances.

[ "Almost done…" ]

[ "My head hurts, El." ]

[ "Just a little more. Endure it, darling. We are almost there." ]

We were merely overloading it in a certain way which would make it reach the decision that it had to give us that certain ancient artifact even though no one was supposed to have it.

And, from the looks of it, we were able to do it successfully.

-Ooooooooooooong!

"Wooh! Wooh! Look at that! They are all different!"

"Wow! Princess Catherine and Prince Morexis both got the golden cards!"

"And mister Ragasage got a pattern card! Oh my god!"

"That's one thing, but look! Miss Agnes got that strange card! What did it?!"

"Why do Master Leon and Lily's cards look similar? Are they connected somehow?"

"As expected of that lucky bastard… look, even he got a golden one. And it even has patterns so it's a golden pattern card."

"But that aside…"

"Why do they have three cards before them?"

"Why did they get three cards?"

"Is it because they are special or is it only because they cheated and got the first place?"

"This is unfair!"

What we did just now consumed a significant amount of mental stamina so, I was completely exhausted now.

El on the other hand was pretty well since she used her parallel minds to substitute for the mental processes so she was competitively well.

It was a bad experience and we were hoping after putting in that kind of complicated effort, we would get what we were looking for.

'But before we opened our eyes, the things we heard from the students confused us a little.'

And when we actually opened our eyes, with hopeful prayers in our hearts, what we saw before us was certainly much more than what we were expecting.

"El…?"

"Lucy…?"

This was confusing actually since there should not have been anything more than what we wanted.

'Less was acceptable. Wrong was also acceptable. But, along with the blazing golden shiny patterned card that seemed to be one of its kind, there were also abnormally plain black and white cards before us.'

And I personally have never seen or even heard about cards that are as plain-looking as these ones.

'El was the same this time, so…'

We were both confused.

And the status windows present before us were making things even more complicated for us.
