The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"If you were truly cursed by misfortune, you wouldn't have been able to meet us, right? And if we had been caught up in misfortune together, we probably would have been defeated by the Church of Resurrection long ago, wouldn't we?"

Dekan asked again.

"This……"

Chloeux felt she couldn't answer.

“Actually, I think that your misfortune, Chloe, might be more subjective than objective. Or rather, this misfortune is just a pessimistic feeling that comes from your constant depression after suffering from the curse of the God of Life.”

Both Lenn and Chloeux are likely to be the type of honest people who would be overlooked in times of peace and prosperity.

—I won't hurt others; as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'll try my best to back down.

Only in times of chaos will the brilliance of such people be revealed.

"So, Chloex, some things aren't about luck, they're definitely not."

"But what exactly... is it a blessing?"

"I'm puzzled," Chloe asked.

If one's misfortune throughout history is not a matter of fate or cause and effect, but merely a matter of one's own perception and thoughts.

Wouldn't that be a misunderstanding of the goddess's good intentions?

This is the sin of wrongly blaming the goddess because of one's own cowardice and incompetence...

Chloeux felt increasingly ashamed.

"Don't worry, the goddess won't care how you imagine this blessing, because you are a hero of the holy kingdom under her protection."

Dekan seemed to have seen through Chloeux's unease.

He offered a word of comfort, then continued:

“Each time it increases the difficulty of the Shadow World, right? But think about it, it was only after we met you again and became connected with you that we truly opened the gates to the Holy Kingdom.”

Perhaps some challengers have entered the shadow world of demons from some ancient history.

Dekan and Cornelia also visited the Demon Academy in the Shadow World.

But up to that time, no challenger had ever broken any records related to the history of the Holy Kingdom in the Shadow World!

It wasn't until Dekan and Cornelia completed "Tales of the Demon Academy" and met Chloeux at the school that things changed.

The Beautiful Minds team has just entered the first true shadow world belonging to the Holy Kingdom, the "Shadow of the Wilderness and Snowstorm," and subsequently the "Secret Tales of the Withering of the Holy Ritual"!

"...The blessing that the goddess bestowed upon me."

He recalled why he was the one who opened the last shadow world of the Holy Kingdom.

The answer in Chloeux's heart gradually became clear.

"Is it actually a matter of trust, but also a test?"

Chloeux murmured in a daze.

“That’s right, it is the coordinate of the Holy Kingdom, the guide of destiny.”

Dekan snapped his fingers, providing the answer.

"It is the key to allowing us to return to the Holy Kingdom after meeting you and to rediscover the lost story of the Holy Kingdom!"

Chloeux's "curse" seems to increase the difficulty of the Shadow World—

In fact, it was the goddess Tike who imprinted the coordinates of the Holy Kingdom in the long river of history onto Chloix!

When he encounters his companions from his previous life, he will truly begin the important task of reincarnation in this life.

All those destined to be will only be able to enter the Holy Kingdom Shadow World!

Chloix, on the other hand, is destined to be an emperor.

They carried the regret and hopes of a destroyed nation.

Entering other movie worlds would inevitably increase the difficulty significantly!

that's it.

After the answer was revealed, both of them remained silent for a while.

Finally, whether it was enlightenment or regret, Chloeux was left wondering.

He smiled and shook his head.

"It's all up to human effort... I was so stupid. I actually mistook the goddess's blessing for a curse because of my cowardice."

Chloeux walked to the sofa and sat down, looking very tired.

"It's okay, that's good, as long as the result is good."

Dekan also sat down to the side, relaxed against the back of the sofa, and spoke with his eyes closed.

They talked about it in such a simple and gentle way.

The two of them ended up laughing at each other in a self-deprecating way.

Such a peaceful and ordinary daily life.

Perhaps it was something that they, in that era of the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm, could hardly imagine.

……

"!"

"So, how did we win against Clay at the casino back then?"

As if suddenly remembering something, Chloeux turned to Dekan with a puzzled look and asked.

He still remembers when he was participating in the seventh-tier team assessment in the Kingdom of Landil, he and Dekan went to the gang's underground casino to do charity work in order to seek justice for Tata, who was forced to borrow money from loan sharks.

Then I met "that blue guy".

They signed a contract with the bugged card, making a fortune for the casino and Clay.

They clearly succeeded in stealing divine power back then!

They even won the Certificate of Madness.

"!"

The moment Dekan heard this question, his expression became very complicated.

After all, that day saw a winning streak.

It remains a vivid memory for Dekan to this day.

Winning money feels like someone is giving you free money!

There's no stopping it.

If that wasn't luck either.

There is only one answer—

"...So all of this was part of your plan, Zhuge Clay!"

387 The Ordinary Daily Life of Dekan and Cornelia

The night sky in early summer is exceptionally bright.

The hustle and bustle of the distant city center, the chirping of insects outside the courtyard.

The gentle breeze blowing through the window brings with it the unique scent of summer grass.

Incredibly, all of this made Dekan feel at ease.

It felt like a tightly strung string in my heart was slowly being released.

Dekan leaned back on the sofa and chatted with Chloeux about trivial matters.

Every moment of this world is like this.

Even just enjoying some leisure time can make me feel great.

Sudden.

A series of thumping sounds interrupted Dekan and Chloeux's conversation.

Accompanied by a knock on the door.

Chloeux quickly ran to open the door.

All that could be seen outside the door was...

It was Morion, who lived closest to Chloeux, who arrived.

"good evening."

Morion first greeted Chloeux briefly.

He then looked directly at Dekan, who seemed to have just returned from a business trip and was in a relaxed state in the reception room.

Even though Chloex and Dekan hadn't had a chance to contact their friends using communication magic.

However, the commotion caused by Dekan activating the space portal had already alerted Mier, who was staying at the Happy Group.

Mier then immediately informed his companions.

"Mollion, have you experienced intermittent dizziness in the past few years?"

Dekan noticed it was Morion and came to the entrance to ask seriously.

"...What are you saying?"

Morion was puzzled as to why Dekan cursed him as soon as he returned, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was amiss.

"Did you foresee Morpheus's fate?"

Morion quickly realized why Dekan had asked that question.

"Yeah, buddy, I'll tell you in advance which diseases you need to prevent."

Dekan smiled and nodded.

Since Morion doesn't seem to be showing any symptoms yet, it's simple to take preventative measures now.
