Myriad Worlds: The Dice of Fate

A bone die that refuses to stay gone no matter how many times it's tossed has upended Chen Wang's ordinary working life. He gets just one roll a day, and the number determines whether the result is good or bad. The prizes are random: they might be cultivation arts or magical items, but he could just as easily draw a nasty debuff. After thirty draws, most of what he's gotten is junk like bricks and old keys. His only worthwhile prize is a bizarrely postured cultivation technique, the Inner Art of the Mysterious Tortoise. His landlord once caught him practicing it and got so spooked that he now goes out of his way to avoid him. At long last, he rolls a transmigration ticket. Chen Wang stocks up on supplies, intending to spend just fourteen days surviving in another world. But when he opens his eyes, he's been dropped straight into the war-torn ninja world. The brutal reality hits him head-on: he's an undocumented outsider with no identity and no past, and his planned fourteen-day stay has turned into fourteen months. His backpack holds only limited supplies, and all around him are ninja who wield jutsu capable of destroying heaven and earth. Staying alive is his only goal. But is this die really just a random prize draw? In thirty rolls, the first and last prizes are both grand prizes, while everything in between is garbage. What hidden purpose lies behind this suspicious coincidence? Chen Wang secretly resolves to keep his head down and stay alive for now. Sooner or later, he'll settle accounts with the die.
