MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 312: Killer Marbles



'1 life,' Adam thought. 'So there was a chance. Who am I kidding? Killing a warlord even once is an impossible task. Whoever gave them 999 lives, I hope that person burns in hell!'

"Alright, let's start." Adelram rolled the marbles for everyone at the table.

These marbles were slightly different than in Mad Marbles. They were blood-red in color, as if they'd been soaking the blood of their victims.

"Adam..." The First Sister whispered. "Both of us can't survive this. Isn't there only one victor?"

"Focus on the game." Adam said. "If we're the last ones standing, maybe we can make a deal to ensure that we both come out of this alive."

"Mm..." The First Sister looked at the marble and feared for the outcome.

"Let's roll!" Adelram said.

With the flicks of wrists, they hurled the marbles to the center of the table. The six marbles collided and rolled back to their thrower.

"9," Adelram said his own number.

"11." Pandora said with a flirtarious look.

"1..." Gabriel mumbled.

"14," Kol said with a yawn.

"5..." The First Sister clenched her hands.

"16," Adam said.

All the eyes turned over to Adam.

'Whew...' The First Sister sighed inwardly.

They were the only humans in this table, and they would obviously work together. In this style of game, cooperation was key for survival.

She wasn't sure whether the other warlords were going to band together to eliminate the two of them, but as long as she and Adam worked together, maybe they could survive!

Adam grabbed his marble and rolled it in his hand while thinking about who to attack.

'Based on the number of lives, it sounds like Pandora is the best player out of them all.' Adam turned to stare at the flirtarious, voluptuous woman. 'It would be wise to attack her first.'

Seeing his look, Pandora just kept smiling and touched her marble as if it were a good luck charm.

"I'll attack Pandora," Adam said.

"A bold choice." Adelram said with a smile. "You chose to attack the embodiment of malice. I didn't expect humans to have such bravery."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Embodiment of malice?" Adam asked.

"Aha, you didn't know?" Adelram grinned. "Pandora is the Evil Warlord. Commonly known as the Archangel of Evil and Malice. She harbors every malice that has ever existed among humans."

'What the fuck?' Adam squeezed his marble.

"Alright, you two, throw." Adelram said.

Pandora grinned and tossed her marble across the table. The throw was quite interesting, looking like she only used one of her fingers to flick it.

Adam rolled the marble across the table's smooth surface. The marble came to a stop at the center of the table.

Pandora's marble spun for a little while longer before stopping next to Adam's.

"Pandora's score is 12." Adelram then turned to Adam's and smiled. "Adam's score is 9."

"Yes!" The First Sister exclaimed but quickly covered her mouth.

She didn't want to accidentally anger Pandora, who was apparently the embodiment of human malice!

The winner of the first bout was Adam!

Pandora needed to double Adam's score to win, but unfortunately for her, she was unsuccessful!

"Oh~" Pandora took her marble back. "Unlucky~"

Crack...

Her marble cracked softly.

Her marble was two cracks away from being destroyed.

'I felt worried for a moment.' Adam breathed a sigh of relief. 'In the end, this is a game of luck. She can't change the outcome.'

"Second round, throw your marbles." Adelram said and tossed his marble to the center of the table.

Everyone else did the same, and as soon as the marbles came to a stop, numbers appeared within them.

"18," Adelram said with a smile.

"17." Gabriel scoffed.

"1..." The First Sister pouted. 'Why does my luck stink?!'

"10," Pandora said.

"7." Kol rolled his eyes.

"15," Adam said.

The eyes landed on the three-headed Adelram.

"I guess it is my turn-" Adelram looked around the table, looking for his target.

'Will he target us two?' The First Sister wondered with a gulp.

'Hmm...'

Adam looked at the three-headed man, who was able to look at every person at the table at

the same time with his three heads.

Nothing went unnoticed by his watchful gaze.

'I am most worried about Adelram. A very smart, very careful man.'

'The most obvious choice is to go for Pandora, right?!' The First Sister thought.

It seemed like the obvious choice, as if he attacked Pandora and won, she would only have one

life left.

It was obvious that she wouldn't be able to last long!

Maybe Adelram would be able to force her to use a skip as well!

Just like in the Mad Marbles, everyone was entitled to one skip. They would be able to skip being attacked just once.

However, even if Pandora skipped her turn now, if someone else got the next attacking turn and attacked her, and if she loses that, she would be in a horrible position.

"Hmm~" Adelram hummed thoughtfully and then smiled. "You, little human girl, I'll attack

you."

"?!" Adam frowned. 'Why? Could it be that the warlords are targeting us after all?'

'Why me?!' The First Sister's eyes teared up.

She then tossed her marble clumsily across the table. It was about to fall on Pandora's lap, but

it then steered away from her and came to a stop at the center of the table.

Adelram threw his marble and clashed with her marble.

"13..." The First Sister whispered. 'Good score!'

Adelram watched as a number appeared on his marble and then said. "20."

The First Sister's eyes widened in shock and she watched as her marble cracked.

It was impossible to win!

'Unfortunate. This is bad.' Adam looked at the other warlords and saw how their eyes

brightened up.

She would get heavily targeted from now on.

'Will this really be four versus two?' Adam clicked his tongue.

"Third round." Adelram said, picked up his marble, and tossed it to the center of the table.

Everyone did the same, and six marbles clattered across the table.
