MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 316: Flashing Images



The warlords rolled their marbles in their hands. They were seemingly enjoying this game. Unfortunately for Adam and the First Sister, there was nothing enjoyable for them. If they lost, they would die while warlords still had many lives to spare.

"Alright, let's continue with the next round." Adelram said with a whistle and rolled his marble to the center of the table.

The rest did the same.

All the marbles clashed in the middle of the table.

"11," Adelram called out.

"8," Kol said.

"13," Gabriel said.

"5," the First Sister sighed.

"11," Adam narrowed his eyes.

"My turn again!" Gabriel laughed and again looked straight at Adam. "I'll crush you!"

'This is bad!' The First Sister thought with a pale face. 'Adam must use his skip now!'

'What to do...' Adam took his marble, and rolled it in his hand. 'Skip or no...'

Anyone sensible would use the skip right now.

If he didn't use his skip now and lost, he would regret it forever.

"What're you waiting for? Skip!" The First Sister whispered into his ear.

"I don't want to..." Adam whispered back with a pale face. "If I do, we are going to lose. If I win now, Gabriel will also only have one life left, and he doesn't have a skip left."

"What if you lose now?!" She asked. "I will be all alone!"

"To win this, risks must be taken." Adam said with gritted teeth. "I let the lady luck decide my fate."

"..." The First Sister looked at him and nodded, but her heart was racing like a wild horse.

If she were in his shoes, she was certain that she wouldn't dare to gamble her life like this. It was absolutely absurd and borderline insanity.

There was a much bigger chance of Adam losing than winning.

"Alright, let's roll." Adam said and squeezed his marble.

"Y'know you have a skip left, right?" Adelram asked with a smile. "Bold choice; I respect that."

"Heh~" Gabriel grinned. "Now you will die~"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The marbles rolled to the center of the table, and the tension in the room grew as they waited to see who would be victorious.

At last, they came to a stop, and numbers appeared in both of them.

"6..." Gabriel frowned.

Adam looked at his marble. A silence fell over him. Then he took a deep breath and said. "13."

"Yes!" The First Sister cheered and clapped her hands, but then Gabriel's furious gaze made her stop.

It looked like he was ready to kill her if she hadn't stopped clapping.

"Lucky," Adelram chuckled.

Crack!

Gabriel's marble cracked for the second time.

It was one attack away from breaking apart. He also didn't have his skip anymore!

Everyone took their marbles and rolled them to the center of the table for the next round. As soon as they collided with each other, numbers appeared with a mist-like glow.

"17!" Adelram shouted.

"2," Kol shook his backwards-facing head.

"9..." Gabriel, still angered by his previous round's loss, said.

"13..." The First Sister immediately turned to see Adam's marble, hoping that he had much better luck.

However.

"11," Adam shook his head.

"Mm~" Adelram turned to the First Sister and smiled. "I'll attack you."

'This is it...' The First Sister grabbed her marble, and saw that her hand was shaking

uncontrollably.

'Please. Please! PLEASE!'

"..." Adam looked at her silently, and he was also quite nervous.

If she lost now, he wouldn't be able to beat three warlords all by himself.

'Please, win. That would help us greatly.' Adam put his marble against his forehead to calm his forehead slightly.

For a strange reason, he'd been having this headache for the past minute. It appeared as soon as he decided to gamble everything to beat Gabriel.

Flashes of images continued to cloud his mind. It was images of the people around this table. It was still unclear to understand what those images meant, but he had a feeling they were trying to warn him of something.

'What's happening?' Adam grabbed his head in agony. 'It hurts...'

"Let's roll."

At that moment, Adelram and the First Sister rolled their marbles across the table.

Cling!

With a nice-sounding cling, they stopped right in the middle of the table.

"5." Adelram raised an eyebrow.

"19!" The First Sister cried out in excitement.

She was feeling so much adrenaline that her body quivered like a leaf in the wind.

"Huh..." Adelram watched as his marble cracked for the second time.

The warlords weren't leading by such an overwhelming margin anymore after two impossible victories from humans!

"Maybe we can do this after all!" The First Sister whispered to Adam with a sweet smile, but

she then noticed that something was odd with him.

He was literally shaking, and it looked like he was sweating buckets by the amount of

perspiration on his forehead.

"Is everything alright?"

"I-I am not sure..." Adam gritted his teeth.

"Alright, next round!" Adelram shouted, and without further ado, the warlords rolled their

marbles to the center of the table.

The First Sister, still worried, did the same, and lastly, Adam rolled his marble weakly. It

looked like his throw didn't have any strength behind it.

The marbles came to contact in the middle of the table.

"15," Adelram said.

"15," Kol nodded.

"4," Gabriel scoffed.

"16!" The First Sister smiled in excitement.

"6..." Adam said weakly.

'Hmm, this can still be dangerous for me, but I should've much greater odds of winning!' The First Sister thought. 'Who should I go after? Adelram or Gabriel, definitely. We can make this

two versus two!'

"Ugh..." Adam almost collapsed on his chair while the pounding headache kept getting worse.

The images became more vivid and clearer. At last, he saw something that made his eyes

bulge.

"Adelram, I attack you!" The First Sister shouted.

"Heh," Adelram took his marble. "I'll accept that challenge."

With flicks, they tossed their marbles to the center of the table, and they came to a stop

almost immediately.

"No..." Adam whispered and turned to the First Sister.

"12!" Adelram shouted.

The First Sister looked at her marble with a smile, but as soon as the number appeared there,

her smile froze.

The marble's number was 1.
