Dice Goddess, Love Me One More Time

I thought I'd spend my whole life scraping by with odd jobs, all alone.

But one day, accompanied by the sound of dice rolling, my fate changed beyond recognition...

After a series of events, I was forced to join someone's detective squad.

Standing at the crime scene, I...

[.ra Investigation]

[Ta-da! Investigation 1d100=1/25, critical success! No need to look any further: the killer is that man in glasses.]

"You're the killer!" I pointed out the culprit without hesitation.

The culprit immediately burst into tears and confessed their motive.

The detective, who hadn't figured anything out yet: ?

[.ra Stealth]

[Dun dun dun... Stealth 1d100=100/20, fumble! Things just got interesting.]

The ground was perfectly clear, but I stumbled and face-planted, ending up a three-degree cripple.

[Deducting .r1d3=3 HP.]

I got to my feet, my face covered in blood. Before me stood a silver-haired man in black, looking hostile. I could already hear the click of a gun's safety being released.

[.ra Dodge]

[Ta-da! Dodge 1d100=1/30, critical success! Congratulations on finally getting lucky for once.]

The man fired, but the bullet inexplicably curved away and hit a nearby tree trunk.

Some overworked member of the Black Organization: ?

With the help of the Dice Maiden, I've changed the fates of countless people! Like a certain curly-haired police officer and some booze, and my beloved Oda Sakunosuke...

So, Sakunosuke, when are you going to accept my confession?

Oda Sakunosuke: a designated beloved.

Content warnings:

1. First-person narration. The heroine is adored by everyone.

2. My take on tabletop role-playing. Uses the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition rules, with some house rules. (I originally wanted a critical success on 1, but my partner said not to be so hard on our girl, so I changed it to a critical success on 1-5.)

3. Most dice rolls use actual rolls; a few are adjusted to fit the story.

4. The characters' values do not represent the author's values.

5. If this isn't for you, don't read it. Feel free to click the X in the upper-right corner.

6. Please don't promote other works under this one, or this one under other works.

7. Update schedule: If there's a ranking list, updates follow it; otherwise, updates are every other day.

8. The pairing may not be Oda Sakunosuke. This will be explained later.

9. Still haven't figured this out.

I was born with memories of my past life in a land where people spoke a strange kind of English. I worked myself to death to stay alive, only to die from overwork.

Maybe it was the reward for working 24/7, but in my third life, I was finally born in modern times.

But why does this British Empire have a Sherlock Holmes?

So I fled overnight to the neighboring land of neon lights.

But why do you have an Edogawa Ranpo here too?

I get it. Maybe the only safe place is Antarctica.

Then I learned that this world also has an organization called Chaldea Finius.

This world is doomed. There's no saving it.

Oh? You're saying the Earth has already been bleached white?
