“Ooooh! Too bad! Only two damage! Which means the swamp hydra still has twenty-four health left,” the game master grinned at his girlfriend, who stuck a tongue at him.
“Your turn Aster.” He gestured to the dice.
“Hmm…” Aster frowned and hmm’d. “Okay, if I cast ice shards, I get to roll four D6’s right?”
“Yeah… Actually, If you roll all sixes then you kill the Hydra. But no way that’s happening.” Troy grinned.
Although the resident fox hoodie wearer was getting pretty lucky this game, there was no way it would continue.
“Oh really? I’m feeling pretty lucky today, you know,” Aster said as she picked up four dice.
“Suuure, wanna bet then?”
She frowned. “Again, a bet? What are you planning for me this time if I lose? To cross-dress as a guy?”
“Nah, repeat punishments are lame. How about a simple ‘be my servant for a day’ kind of deal.”
She growled and rolled her eyes. “Very original. Whatever! I’ll enjoy your servitude, peasant! Here we go!”
She stood up and raised the dice in her hands before throwing them at the table. One stopped at six… a second one stopped at six… and then the two others did as well.
Troy could only stare.
“What the fuck?”
Aster’s grin reached a new level. “I told you I’m feeling lucky today!”
Troy looked at her, then at the dice, then back at her, then back at the dice.
“What the fuck?!” he repeated.
She frowned. “Again, a bet? What are you planning for me this time if I lose? To cross-dress as a guy?”
OH MY GOD. HER POWER MADE HER INTENTIONALLY LOSE THE PREVIOUS BET TO PUT HER ON THE PATH TO TRANSING HER GENDER.
OH. MY. GODO.
HELL.YEAH!!!!
Wait, what was Aster's power again?
I thought it was shapeshifting, but it has been a looong time.
Edit: f*ck I was confused with felice hybrid.
Aster's power is luck control.
From what i remember, her power is more or less being supernaturally lucky. Though usually in a rather derpy or funny way.
@therandompers reading it more as a subconscious control of chaos tbh.
Due to the figuring out hideouts thing
I enjoyed this chapter. But honestly that's because this is my second read through. If it where my first this would feel like getting smacked in the head by a clue-by-four for Aster's power instead of the slow realization and confirmation of the first go round. There's plenty of clues before this chapter, but there are also a few other options available as well. So this bonus feels a bit spoilery even though for others it simply a confirmation.
lol serves him right for challenging her to a duel of luck
So her power is dumb luck
*gasp* another secret chapter...
Well, not exactly secret. I mentioned these in chapter 40.5 :P
I'm glad I decided to read this. After all, thinking that the story was over, I put it on my read list. And accidentally looking into it I saw an update) And then there are these additional chapters)
Why is this one in third person rather than first?
.5 chapters are all in third person.
