Tanky Mage System

Chapter 35

Life as a Gambling Chip

At night.

In the dark and silent underground secret room.

The gas lamp was extinguished, replaced by a luminous pearl that was not too bright as the light source of the secret room.

Together with his own sight as a Transcendent, Gurney could see everything clearly in this dim environment.

Currently, Gurney had placed the black-iron soft armor, magic shield necklace, mystic silver wand, mystic silver boots, and the green leaf bracelet into his system space.

After confirming that his preparations were done, Gurney let out a deep breath as his eyes flickered with divine light.

It was finally time to check out this noble creation, the Destiny Gold Coin.

Earlier, when Gurney obtained the Destiny Gold Coin from the study room of the Blood Magic Grandmaster, he had already guessed that the grandmaster likely met his demise because of this Destiny Gold Coin. The other party’s encounter was quite strange, and no traces were left behind. He had simply vanished into thin air. The clothes that he wore and the supernatural equipment, even his own corpse, were not left behind at all.

Gurney was very alert against this type of obliteration.

It was true that he had [Reincarnation], but his equipment could not be restored. If he died and his equipment all went missing, it would be a huge loss. Thus, Gurney placed all of the valuables into his system space.

Flicking his wrist, the coin that was the same size but thicker than a dollar coin landed in Gurney’s hand; it was the Destiny Gold Coin.

Once it landed on his palm, Gurney felt that strange mental suggestion once again.

I should toss it and check out my luck.

Compared to the first time I came into contact with the Destiny Gold Coin, this mental suggestion is weaker now.

Is it because I obtained a supernatural class, or is it because the [Reincarnation] that I went through gave me some resistance against such negative influences?

However.

Gurney gritted his teeth, his arm was slightly trembling.

This suggestion is still very powerful. I can almost not control myself in wanting to toss it.

It was as if Gurney was a gambling addict that felt an urge now.

Gurney stopped hesitating. He quickly created a rune in his palm, wanting to use magic contact on this Destiny Gold Coin.

This Destiny Gold Coin that had a powerful mental suggestion effect was undoubtedly a powerful magical item.

Abruptly using magic contact on it would be dangerous, but Gurney was not afraid of death. He could simply use [Reincarnation].

The moment magic contact was done and the bridge between them was linked…

Within the secret room, the light of the luminous pearl was quickly suppressed, and the surroundings fell into complete darkness. The surrounding time and space seemed to be frozen at this moment.

The Destiny Gold Coin in Gurney’s palm quickly showed two hues of gold and black.

One angel and one devil.

One gold and one black.

They were perfect opposites.

The voices of the angel and devil resounded together.

Majestic holiness and oppressive darkness.

“Use your life as the gambling chip. Toss it and play a game with destiny.”

“In victory, the angel stands with you.”

“In defeat, the devil walks with you.”

Information was sent into Gurney’s mind continuously, while Gurney’s expression also became constantly changing. He had finally started to understand the terror and fearsomeness of this extremely powerful Destiny Gold Coin.

Gurney could not help but mutter, “This is really a noble creation!”

The vision shattered in front of him.

At the same time, the light of the luminous pearl returned to the entire secret room.

Ring!

A sharp sound had broken the silence of the secret room, and Gurney regained his senses.

He saw that the Destiny Gold Coin, with an angel on one side and a devil on the other, had already started to spin in the air, right before his very eyes.

The devil and the angel soon mixed together.

Looking at this Destiny Gold Coin which was currently tossed upwards, Gurney’s expression was dark, and he lost his cool.

“F*ck, I did not toss this myself. This should not count.”

Gurney’s eyelids twitched. But the right arm that moved up on its own could not help but catch this Destiny Gold Coin.

Pat!

His right arm grasped the Destiny Gold Coin in his palm. At this time, control of the right hand returned to Gurney.

“This damned magical item.” Gurney frowned lightly.

Magical items, in the supernatural world, were known by everyone because they had incredible and unparalleled traits.

Even Gurney, when faced with such a powerful magical item, had to obey the rules that it had.

Looking at this right arm that was holding the Destiny Gold Coin, Gurney felt like he understood why that Blood Magic Grandmaster died. Other people gambled with money, but this thing gambled with one’s life!

After a short period of magic contact, Gurney had already understood the effect of this powerful magical item.

Magical item, Destiny Gold Coin.

Using one’s life as the gambling chip, one could engage in a simple game.

After tossing the Destiny Gold Coin, if it landed on the angel side, then the angel would cut the person’s chains of destiny and allow them to break free of the restraints of destiny. There were many benefits for the individuals whose destiny chains were cut. For example, if the enemy used certain mysterious methods to try to curse, make divinations, or even peer at the person, it would be extremely difficult to do so.

In fact, certain powerful existences would find it hard to spot the person when they used their mysterious powers to plot and plan; they would not know what the person was capable of.

Undeniably, the stronger the person, the more necessary it would be to cut their chains of destiny.

Destiny Gold Coin had such a powerful effect.

But the person’s life would be at stake.

If he was unfortunate and failed, then… the Blood Magic Grandmaster, who created this Destiny Gold Coin himself and had gone missing from the face of the world, would be the best example of the consequences.

“Huff…” Lightly letting out a breath, Gurney opened his palm.

With the system and six chances to use [Reincarnation], he was not too worried now.

After seeing the side of the Destiny Gold Coin, Gurney laughed.

It was the angel side.

Gurney had won.

A misty golden light shot out of the Destiny Gold Coin, gathering in the air as the angel was created within it. An angel that had snow-white sacred feathers held up the brilliant and holy Sword of Destiny.

At the same time, Gurney could see that on his body, there were countless chains that extended up from his body, peering into the surrounding void with no end in sight.

Chains of destiny. As expected, every person is a slave that is controlled by destiny.

Seeing these chains of destiny that bound him, Gurney could not help but think of a philosophical quote from some philosophy textbook he had read.

Whoosh!

The Sword of Destiny slashed down on Gurney’s body.

Crack!

Gurney could hear rapidly cracking sounds in his mind.

At the same time, the chain with the thickness of a bowl and that bound Gurney near his chest was cut into two.

This was the thickest chain of destiny.

There were also four that were as thick as an arm, and a large number of smaller chains that had the thickness of a finger.

After this first chain of destiny was cut, the angel seemed to have used up all its strength, and it quickly fused into the Destiny Gold Coin after turning back into golden light.

“Lucky one, do you want more gifts from destiny?”
