Destiny was so unpredictable. It offered a little hardship, then a turning point might appear at any moment. Just as a glimmer of hope emerged, it would cast a person into an abyss.

Life or death, who could grasp it?

If you couldn't afford to play, don't easily face it head-on.

Nie Yan calmed himself and reached out to touch the Fate Dice. He didn't know what was coming next. Would it be a huge surprise, or endless regret? He would never know until the Fate Dice delivered its judgment.

The spinning Fate Dice rolled like a flywheel, and unknown destiny was beckoning.

Watching the Fate Dice spinning non-stop, Nie Yan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. "Please, let it not be a curse!"

"Stop!" Nie Yan felt his heart being hammered heavily.

The Fate Dice screeched to a halt, stopping abruptly. The enchanting number was five, still five. Perhaps five was his lucky number.

Nie Yan was enveloped in a huge surprise. As long as it wasn't a curse, that was enough. He hadn't even thought about what the reward might be.

After all, rolling the Fate Dice three times wasn't something ordinary people could afford. This extremely dangerous game put enormous pressure on Nie Yan's heart.

System: You have obtained Pandora's Box.

Pandora's Box (??): Fate Item.

Another Fate Item. Nie Yan was about to break down from these Fate Items. If he got another Fate Dice item like the Cursed Skull, he would rather it disappear. Each time he activated the Fate Dice, he didn't want to play this terrifying game again.

Playing this game once was enough. He had no regrets.

Pandora's Box was a square box, silver-gray, with a different pattern engraved on each side. There were evil skulls, ugly demons, winged angels, and so on, endlessly varied. These patterns were very detailed, lifelike.

These patterns were full of eerie magic.

Nie Yan looked at Pandora's Box. Fortunately, Pandora's Box wasn't a Fate Dice item like the Cursed Skull, but a treasure.

Pandora's Box (??): Fate Item.

Item Description: Place three items of the same grade into Pandora's Box, and there is a 10% chance of producing a higher-level item. If it fails, all items disappear. If you put an item and a Lucky Gem into Pandora's Box, there is a certain chance to increase the item by one grade, but failure will reduce the item by one grade.

When the time (in rounds, three seconds) is even, Luck +5; when the time is odd, Misfortune +5.

User Restriction: Any alignment can use.

This thing was rare. Nie Yan had heard of it, but had never seen what it actually looked like. This item was worthy of the name "legendary item." For example, if Nie Yan put three gold-grade pieces of equipment into Pandora's Box, there would be a 10% chance of producing a dark gold piece of equipment. Of course, there was also a 90% chance of failure. If he put in three dark gold pieces of equipment, maybe a legendary item would appear. Of course, few people dared to try with three dark gold items, because dark gold equipment was very expensive.

As for the second function, Lucky Gems were things that gem artisans used to increase the probability of success when embedding gems into equipment. They could also be used to upgrade the level of an item. The price was very expensive. The current market price was about five silver coins each, and they were rarely seen on the market, and few people could afford them.

As for Luck and Misfortune values, they were very useful. They affected the drop rate of killing monsters, the success rate of synthesizing items, and the probability of all random events. +5 was a large value. Increasing luck by five points could increase a player's drop rate by 200% and the success rate of synthesizing items by 20%. As for +5 Misfortune, you would basically accomplish nothing during that period.

This thing was like cutting your time into two equal parts, one with good fortune shining down, the other with bad luck coming one after another.

Nie Yan thought for a moment. This might not be a bad thing. He could try to control the probability events to happen at even times. Although three seconds was fleeting, seizing those three seconds was possible.

Happiness came so suddenly. He didn't yet know what level Pandora's Box was. He would study it slowly later. Nie Yan put Pandora's Box into his backpack. Getting this thing this time was worth the trip.

His heartbeat rose and fell sharply, and Nie Yan further experienced the mystery of fate.

After the Fate Dice ended, time around him began to flow again. The skeletons that had been still in the distance began to move again, gathering towards Nie Yan, blocking him.

Just now, everything within twenty yards had stopped abruptly. Many skeletons had walked over and stopped at the edge of this area. Looking around, there were dense masses of skeletons, endless.

"So many skeletons!" Nie Yan didn't dare to stay and quickly ran away, leaping onto the city wall.

The Sogota Ancient City, covered with walls, was a huge maze. Nie Yan didn't know where he was. He was just relying on his sense of direction and the huge pyramid in the middle of the ancient city to advance towards the center of the ancient city.

The magnificent pyramid in the distance was a signpost, assuring Nie Yan that he was not lost.

The skeletons' interception of him never stopped. The Skeleton Mages' spells rained down like raindrops.

Nie Yan leaped up and scrambled onto a wall, running wildly along the stone wall.

Magic struck the stone wall with a "pop pop pop" sound, splashing a lot of lime.

-21, -27, -25...

Damage values floated up from Nie Yan's head one after another. There were too many Skeleton Mages below, and Nie Yan's health quickly dropped below 30%.

Nie Yan drank a bottle of health potion and jumped down from the wall.

Landing lightly, he quickly ran away, leaving the skeletons far behind, running to more and more remote places, farther and farther away from the central pyramid, but he had no choice. He had to get past these skeletons first.

He entered a relatively open area. This was a plaza. In the distance was a ruined building, occupying a large area. It had now collapsed into ruins. From the remains, which still showed an outline, one could imagine how magnificent and spectacular this building was originally.

System: You have discovered the Sogota Arena.

So this was the arena. He had never been here in his previous life. Nie Yan went around the ruins, searching for direction.

Running through the plaza, Nie Yan suddenly felt his feet lighten. His heart jumped. It was a trap! Below was a deep pit. He was caught off guard and stepped right into it.

Nie Yan lunged forward, trying to avoid the pit, but suddenly realized that the pit was too large, more than ten yards across. How could he jump out?

Nie Yan fell down, falling rapidly.

He didn't know how high the pit was. He prepared the skill on the Feather Fall Gem. If the pit was too high, he could only use Feather Fall to avoid being killed by the fall.

With a "boom," Nie Yan landed on his feet, and a damage value of -26 floated above his head. The height was moderate, only about ten yards.
