What did you do with the dice?

You rolled the dice for me, where did the small electric current come from?

(Original fantasy group-playing world view) The whole story begins with a shrimp-headed strongman with an intelligence of 5 and his brother, a cold-blooded legal scholar, being thrown into another world in the Middle Ages to become lords, and then adding an omnipotent white-haired cat maid.

Bring war and abstraction to the world!

Rusalka (Intelligence 5): "I woke up to find the concentration of clichés about the natives of the Western fantasy world had increased ten thousandfold. Only I remained unchanged. I discovered that the natives still couldn't understand me. Is it true that the thoughts of the strong are destined to be lonely?"

Sanita (Intelligence 20): "God damn it! I'll break up with you when we get back to Earth. I'm afraid the psychiatrist will take me away with him."

Chapter 1 The Beginning

In this ordinary and somewhat boring era, the deepest friendship is difficult to define. Maybe it is giving you some money on the rooftop, or maybe it is holding your hand tightly on the edge of a cliff.

However, for most ordinary people, there are not so many exciting experiences in their lifetime.

Perhaps for these two men, a square table, a few bags of snacks, the papers and dice on the table, and the youthful memories of the past ten years, all these combined together are the symbol of their unbreakable friendship.

One of them was thin, about 1.80 meters tall, wearing round-rimmed glasses, handsome and elegant, with beautiful natural curly hair. Just by sitting there, he could attract the opposite sex to glance at him a few more times.

There was a gleam in his eyes. There was a cup of black coffee on his left hand, and his right hand was occasionally flipping through the books on the table that were several times thicker than the postgraduate entrance examination materials. However, every time he flipped through the books, he was able to find the content he wanted in one go and write it down very accurately.

The other one was 1.75 meters tall, didn't wear glasses, and had ordinary short hair. His appearance and figure were very ordinary, but compared with the man opposite him, he looked like a passerby sitting there.

In his left hand were several snack bags with only the shells left. He was stuffing a newly opened bag of potato chips into his mouth. There was also a cup of sweet drink that was almost full of ice cubes. He casually scanned the contents on the paper, making a check mark from time to time, and occasionally writing a few simple words with a stroke of his pen.

Not long after, the handsome guy said to the man who was eating snacks opposite him: "Brother Xiao, if you get your food on my rule book, you're dead."

The man called Brother Xiao wiped his hands with a tissue beside him, then with a flourish, wrote the last few words at the bottom of the paper: "Don't worry, Brother Fei, I eat with my left hand and write with my right, so I'm pretty steady. Okay, my character card is complete, take a look."

Brother Fei looked very surprised. He didn't even immediately take the paper that was pushed to him. Instead, he asked in a questioning tone, "I see that you only wrote a few sentences about the character background and setting. Do you think you're done? Are you serious?"

Brother Xiao's eyes were a little evasive, but he still said firmly, "Nonsense, I have carefully copied down every skill and talent I know, and have perfectly assigned each point to my character. But then again, it's the 21st century, why doesn't anyone use Excel to create data cards online? Is the dough DM you found reliable? Don't let the real person show up and find him as an 80-year-old man. Now Gandalf himself is leading the group."

Brother Fei said calmly, "Many people say he's very reliable. He's a well-known leader in the online role-playing community. The dungeons and background settings he created are addictive. It's said that every role-playing session can bring players the ultimate freedom. His calculation ability is comparable to the reincarnation of AI. He's known as the Alpha City Lord. Just look at the free allocation of talent points on paper. You can even customize the type of world you want to travel to and the level of social civilization by allocating points. Isn't that great?"

Brother Xiao: "Have you ever run against his group?"

Brother Fei: "You know, the most important thing in the gaming community is word of mouth, and word of mouth is also the first factor that reflects the strength of a DM. Do you understand the value of everyone's praise?"

Brother Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "You bastard, you talked so much and yet you didn't even get away! Damn it, when are you going to change your bad habit of speaking like a human? I think you look like an AI reincarnated, identified as a law student."

Fei Ge didn't respond. Instead, he picked up the character card Xiao Ge had written. He frowned at the stats and said, "Strength 20, Agility 20, Charm 20, Intelligence 5, Perception 18, Constitution 20. You've left some room for improvement by not maxing out your Perception. Man, I think you're not creating a human being, but a dragon born from inbreeding. With these stats, no matter which group you're in, the DM who initiates the group will kick you out."

"Don't be so mean. This invincible cyber DM I told you about privately has been confirmed online. He said everything is calculated based on points and the rulebook. As long as you spend points, any incredible setting can be achieved."

After Xiao Ge finished explaining, he added angrily, "Who told him to be so sure that I was an ultimate rookie player? He even said that my PC (the character I created) might be very strong, but unfortunately the PL (the real person) who controls the character is too low, which means that my PC can't fully display its strength. It's not suitable for surviving in his dungeon at all, and I won't be able to survive the substitution chapter, so he gave me a bunch of compensation points as a benefit.

He's blatantly looking down on my extensive experience in group play. Isn't this just a way to shock him?"

Brother Fei frowned. "Then you've made up some ridiculously strong stats. Why did you choose Human as your race and Paladin as your class? According to the general rules given by the DM, I see that some of the new system's self-created classes are actually much stronger on paper than the Paladin that comes with DND5e, right?"

I've studied the new classes and races introduced in this Alpha DM, and aside from some odd roleplaying restrictions and a different main city at the start, the rest of the stats and power levels are far superior to those in the original rulebook. We're playing a paper game, after all, so spellcasting and the like don't have any material or spell requirements by default.

As for the restrictions on role-playing, they are actually even more negligible in this kind of text game. The different main cities at the beginning are even more ridiculous. The two of us are sitting at the same table playing a group game. Can the characters play their own games at the two ends of the game map?

As for the moral nitpicking, I won't elaborate. You play Paradox games, too. You can't be called the Fourth Scourge for nothing. I initially thought a Class A war criminal like you would choose a class like Necromancer, saying things like 'we call it efficient,' and summoning the undead to play 007.

"That's because you don't understand the romance of human paladins. Besides, I've already laid the groundwork. DM said that anything with a basis in real-world rules, a recognized setting that's not in the rulebook, can be overcome with just 10 points. Look, I'm using the La-style Paladin, which primarily targets the world as an enemy, giving me an advantage against all targets. Plus, I can also double as a warlock."

"Huh." Fei Ge glanced at Xiao Ge's character design, which was not very long to begin with and the words were squeezed together, making it look very short and weak. He found that among the locust-like words, there was indeed a sentence "La's Holy Warrior and Warlock": "Good fellow, if I were a DM, the destination of your card cannot be a trash can. Even a paper shredder cannot withstand it. It must be transported to the crematorium with the help of the wind, otherwise I am afraid that the bad luck on it will not be completely dispelled.

If you're such a jerk, why did you choose Human? Why not a descendant of the dragon? Look, this DM gave you a dragon template. The standard rulebook dragon template is too weak, so you don't need points, but he has his own unique True Dragon template. The six attributes of the innate talent are pure numerical machine. Although it's locked to the class, it comes with Dragon Language magic proficiency and the Dragon Clan talent for full resistance, which is equivalent to dual cultivation of combat and magic. It can be bought for 100 points. It's a super template. It's a bit expensive, but you can definitely afford it.

After all, this DM is crazy or something, giving you a full 400 points as a newbie compensation, and you can also enter the game with a random legendary equipment. I only opened the card with 100 points, and your card is definitely 10 times stronger than mine."

Brother Xiao: "No one would create a character card for a group without considering the settings and only looking at the strength, right? People who only know how to manipulate data are too disgusting. Brother Fei, I really misjudged you, you turned out to be such a person!"

"Shagou."

Even Brother Fei, who is always calm, couldn't help but laugh and scold Brother Xiao at this time.

Brother Xiao pressed on, "Besides, did your math come from a physical education teacher? How can 400 be ten times 100?"

Fei Ge: "According to you, three big guys can beat Tyson?"

Brother Xiao was speechless. After a moment of silence, he was forced to accept the fact that he had given up a game: "Shan, you win."

Brother Fei looked at the character card written by Brother Xiao again, frowning every time he saw a line: "Good fellow, no emotions, all numerical values. Intelligence is 5, so you got 10 points for free. So why did you choose Intelligence 5? Let's not talk about whether your character is mentally retarded or not. After all, I know you are a bully. Aren't you afraid of being controlled by the intelligence judgment?

Oh, I almost forgot, the Weakness spell is useless against targets with an intelligence below 6. Oh my god, you blocked them all!"

Brother Xiao said proudly, "So, I deliberately spent 25 points to purchase the noble [Outsider] talent. It gives me all the mental advantages and resistance, giving me an advantage against any non-constitutional immunity. I also specifically selected the intelligence immunity as a direct pass. Coupled with the Paladin's inherent resistance aura, it's terrifying. Brother, trying to control me is as difficult as intercepting a Shinkansen with your bare hands!"

Fei Ge: "Hey man, are you kidding me? My teammate is a guy who babbles all the time? How are you going to play a character with a mental retardation, oh no, I mean, an intelligence of 5?"

Brother Xiao patted his chest and said, "Playing a role is a joke. You're in charge of negotiating with the NPCs, and I'm in charge of the tower. It's a clear division of labor. Got it?"

Brother Fei sighed. "Oh my god, this is a complete role-playing disaster. I can't imagine the style of this group. I'm leading a mentally retarded person who can use holy light on a legendary adventure? The battle scenes are unimaginable. I'm standing on the sidelines applauding, while you're moaning and killing people with your hammer."

Brother Xiao: "Wait a minute, I'm using a noble 2d6 greatsword and carrying a shield. This build cost me 10 points to buy the talent [Overlord], which allows me to wield a giant weapon one-handed. Besides, what's wrong with the PC being retarded? My PL is smart enough, isn't that enough? Isn't it me who runs the group? His IQ is both lower and upper. My PL is a moron, so how can the PC be smarter than me? It's nothing more than rolling the dice and making a judgment. Trust me, I'm lucky."

Brother Fei took a look at the last added lucky attribute. This was the number between 10 and 100 randomly rolled out before. His was 60, which was very ordinary. Brother Xiao, who had plenty of points, rolled out an extremely low number of 22, but he had so many points that he had no place to spend them, so he spent 78 construction points to bring his luck to 100.

You have to know that Fei Ge only has 100 points when he opens the card. If he uses Xiao Ge's random method of scoring, he can probably only write a character card for an ordinary person with very strong luck and a little bit of skills, a kind of character card that can run coc but can't run the legendary group at all.

In the end, he probably gave in: "Alright, just discuss it with the DM. I've looked around and your points are already high enough to push your character to the limit of the strength allowed for this group opening.

Furthermore, you, a ragtag dog, have also added a ton of negative effects to yourself in exchange for points, such as [Nameless]: Start with no cooperation or friendly relations with any faction. +10 points.

[Land of Conflict]: The political environment in your starting location is somewhat harsh. +5 points.

[Isolated]: You start the game with no trustworthy or capable NPC companions. +40 points.

[Social Genius]: Your negotiation and negotiation difficulty with most normal NPCs increases by 2 levels, but decreases by 2 levels with special NPCs. +5 points.

[Extremely Outdated System]: Your world and faction possess a backward yet stable system. This system defies common sense, yet you find it difficult to shake or change it. +20 points.

[Ancient Hidden Dangers]: The world is plagued by hidden dangers and disasters left over from ancient times. While the times are advancing, technology and magic are falling further and further behind, defying the principles of development. +10 points.

[Mystical Idiot]: You are unable to understand supernatural powers and their principles. You are unable to independently learn any powers or knowledge that are not part of the mystical system you have constructed. +10 points.

[Vengeance. Major]: Your character is set to have a major faction's enmity. The type of faction is determined by your character card's personality and their current understanding of you. +50 points.

Oh shit, why did you raise the difficulty of my survival game, but you're the one who gets the points? And this feud, oh my god, do you understand the theory of risk? In a world with this system, if you make enemies with a big power and choose a bunch of negative restrictions like no allies, it's like seeking death."

"Wu Locks the Stomach, I will open them and turn them all into experience packs."

"Now I know why the DM gave you 400 points. Even if I gave you 1000 points, it wouldn't be enough. You need to change this for me! There's also the system issue. I suggest you change it to a normal, backward system. I've been a DM for so long, I know too well how to use the system to target the PL. And..."

Faced with Fei Ge's numerous doubts, Xiao Ge finally compromised, changed his pout, and deducted the missing points from the family background item where the last points were used. After thinking about it, he still had a lot of extra points, so he simply threw some negative entries to Fei Ge, asking him to supplement the nutrition of his card, which seemed to have dense settings but seemed not strong enough.

After looking at the modified card, Fei Ge nodded and said with satisfaction, "Finally, I'm glad you were able to make a male card instead of some weird lolita card. At least it leaves some room for my imagination to imagine the scene."

Brother Xiao curled his lips and said, "Nonsense, it takes 10 points to pinch a card of the opposite sex. How can I afford that? Points should be used wisely."

Brother Fei sneered indifferently and looked up at Brother Xiao: "Oh, so this is why you spent 10 points to exchange for a white-haired cat-eared maid?"

Brother Xiao blushed and argued, "Wrong, it's a white-haired cat-eared combat maid. Do you understand the value of a combat maid?"

Fei Ge corrected him, "But there are no trustworthy or capable NPCs around you. Her ability means she is not trustworthy."

Brother Xiao was anxious: "How can it be unreliable if it was bought at 10 points?"

Brother Fei spread his hands and said, "If I were DM, I would definitely use her to backstab you in the finale. Then, seeing your expression of disbelief and inability to accept it, I would tell you in the end, it's your choice of idol."

Brother Xiao: "Just because the start is not good doesn't mean we can't develop feelings. Speaking of which, that negative effect is worth 40 points. I don't want to deduct it. Brother Fei, please think of a way."

Brother Fei: "There's a saying that goes, 'If the setting isn't enough, the character setting makes up for it.' Since you spent two hours with me writing the card, I'll fill in the character setting for your card and find a way to make all the negative effects of this B card justifiable. Don't give DM a chance to fall into the trap."

----

After 2 hours.

"I've finished writing it. Do you want to take a look and add to it?"

"No need. You wrote so much, and I'm here as a graduate student researching a thesis. I trust you won't cheat me. We're teammates after all. I've also thought about it. This maid is actually dispensable in the group. I can't take her into battle anyway. I'd be heartbroken if she died. Even though I wrote it for fun, it's still worth 10 points. I'd better keep her at home and not join the group."

"But with just one sentence from you, I wrote nearly 2000 words of basic settings for this crappy NPC, plus a background setting too, totaling 4000 words. The electronic file has been sent and approved, and all I need to do is find an artist to draft it for you. And now you say she's not important? Don't force me to beat you up."

"Okay, thanks buddy for writing a character for my cybernetic wife."

Brother Fei frowned. "Okay, I sent this card to my DM... He replied instantly, surprisingly approving it. I doubt he even looked at your card. Could it be that he spent a long time reviewing my card and thought it was great, so he assumed yours was the same? Even with the negative conditions, your card cost a full 528 points to open. Damn, he didn't even look at the DM card. Are you really that reliable, brother?"

"You're asking me if my recommendation is reliable? I spent four hours sitting down for an open-book exam with you, ordering two drinks and countless snacks, spending over three figures. And you're saying this now, bro? When the police come, just tell them we're going to fight. I have no problem with that."

Fei Ge was silent for a moment, looked at his chat box, and asked, "Okay, one last question, DM asked you."

"Tell me, I'll change it right away."

"You're gonna name your own male card Rusalka? Are you playing Yu-Gi-Oh stupid?"

"Your name is Sanita, right? You've even named a building, but mine is still a person's name."

"He asked if you wanted to change your gender, race, and appearance for 20 points."

"I already have a white-haired cat wife, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to turn into a fish. And according to the official setting, mermaids are not ketones, so I'll stick to my human bottom line."

Phineas scoffed, "It's true that mermaids aren't keto, but the one I like is Xavius."

Brother Xiao was anxious: "Bullshit! She likes me!"

"The clown was identified as playing with Pearl Tears."

"Do you understand the value of Pearl Tears' Lament sweeping the dungeon?"

"I hope you don't get swept out by DM tomorrow."

The next day, the two went to the place where the mysterious DM was sent and played together.

"Is this the store? There's no other place nearby."

After pushing open the door that was exactly the same as the one in the photo, something unexpected happened.

They suddenly traveled to the world called "Permanent Plane" created by the so-called DM - using their own character cards.

Chapter 2 Acting

Let me introduce myself first.

My name is Rusalka. I am not a mermaid but a human. My main profession is a paladin and my hidden secondary profession is a warlock. I am born with supernatural powers and can lift giant weapons with one hand, and trigger all the effects of giant weapons. I am very devout in my faith, to the point where I have no faith in my heart but have power.

I have a whole array of talents, more than I can count, and now that I don't have my character cards handy, I can't remember what they are by heart.

Of course, none of these are important, including the fact that I have a memory that does not belong to me, which is not important either.

The key is.

I am not mentally retarded. My intelligent brain came into this world with my soul (?) or consciousness, and is not affected by the 5 points of intelligence.

Sure enough, I was right. The IQ of the PC is determined by the PL.

Although Xiao Ge, no, now he is called Rusalka, he himself can't figure out what his situation is. Is he still the fourth disaster PL (player) in the God's perspective, or is he a PC (role-playing character) who has personally entered the game and become an uncontrollable chess piece?

Moreover, he and Sanita retained the PL channel, which was a way of communicating similar to telepathy, and was also a plug-in. Perhaps this was the benefit for time travelers, so as to prevent them from dying quickly in this strange world.

Rusalka: "Brother Fei, what's going on? I have a charm of 20, and you only have 18. How come you can create a more handsome guy than me, but I feel like I haven't changed? Oh, you are already a handsome guy, then it's okay."

Sanita: "We have traveled through time, and I strongly suspect that your 5 intelligence points are not being used to their full potential."

Rusalka: "Ha, I was saying this intelligence attribute is useless. I don't have any Aba Aba at all. So as long as I'm smart enough, that's all that matters. You can see that, right?"

Sanita: "I didn't notice that. I just simply felt that you haven't become any smarter than before."

Rusalka pretended to be angry and put on a 'do you want to fight?' expression, then asked, "So, what profession did you choose?"

Sanitieta: "You accepted reality so quickly? You know, if this really was a time travel and not a dream, the consequences would be disastrous. Have you ever thought about whether we would be resurrected after we die? Have you considered that this world is completely different from our original peaceful world, that we could die at any time, and that you chose a bunch of bad starts, which put us in a very bad situation?"

Rusalka: "Aren't you afraid too?"

Sanitieta curled his lips and said, "I'm a law student. I'm not inhumane."

Rusalka smiled and didn't pretend anymore. Instead, she said, "To be honest, I spent 20 points on the [Fearless] talent. As a result, my combat attributes and personal willpower are extremely strong, and will not be affected by any changes in the environment or my personal mentality."

Sanitta: "This skill's description is so vague. It doesn't look like a talent that a powerhouse like you would choose. And didn't you already choose all mental resistance?"

Rusalka: "You don't understand. I'm interested in the entry that says combat attributes are unaffected. This means my six attributes won't be deducted by spells. Who knows what kind of weird effects spells have in this custom world? The more resistance effects like this, the better. Full resistance is the most noble attribute. If it weren't available, I would have bought it long ago."

A big bump under the seat interrupted their conversation and brought their thoughts back to reality.
