Though thinking about it, maybe the other EX rank cards will feel sad if I act like this.

Anyways a Great Mage was a card that was that attractive.

The memories in my head from countless playthroughs proved that.

However…

‘What should I do?’

Right now, I couldn’t easily choose.

Even though there was an EX rank card, I still couldn’t just pick that.

There was a very serious problem.

“…”

The blades of the assassins were still touching my neck.

The tingling sensation that I might really die was crushing my entire body.

My problem was this bloody situation itself.

If I was a player I could just die once and revive in the nearby village…

However, this was different.

I would actually die if my head was cut off.

Dead NPCs don’t revive.

‘I need to live!’

My instinct was screaming that.

As a result, all kinds of thoughts and calculations were going through in my head.

In order to survive.

In order to avoid that blade.

And my conclusion was…

-I had to throw away the Great Mage card. I will die if I choose it!

I wanted to scream until my throat broke.

‘How could this be!’

EX rank ‘Great Mage’ was a card that every player wanted.

But right now it was useless to me.

No matter how great it was, mage was still a mage.

Out of all classes, they were ranged DPS who lacked survivability the most.

‘It’s such a waste that I’m going to go crazy.’

Whichever spell it is, the ‘casting’ required time.

According to the game background, in order to take out mana from the mana circle around your heart and materialize it outside, it required time.

However, this fatty was not allowed to have that time.

He wouldn’t be able to dodge the falling blade, and his head would be separated from his body.

Since I was possessing his body, I also couldn’t avoid that.

That was the reason why I couldn’t choose the Great Mage card.

Sob.

My tears could come out from the conclusion I had made.

‘My extreme card!’

But I had to clench my teeth and look away.

Actually the answer was there from the start.

Like it was making fun of me…

‘Slave Gladiator.’

The Rank F tank was shining ironically.

Right now I had to ignore the extreme card to select this trash card.

That was the only way I could survive here.

There was no other way than ‘that skill’, the only advantage of that card.

It was really ridiculous, but I knew that better than anyone.

[Destiny Rank F, ‘Slave Gladiator’ was selected.]

[Are you sure?]

… I don’t want to be sure.

But I was sure.

That’s why I felt even worse.

Wow, I never thought the day where I chose trash over extreme would come.

[Destiny Rank F, ‘Slave Gladiator’ is given to ‘Guillaume Ello de Balt’!]

Swoosh…

The light of the other two cards were fading.

I almost felt like crying.

Good bye, Great Mage…

I hope we meet again…

Please.

[3 skills of ‘Slave Gladiator’ are acquired.]

[May the odds be ever in your favor.]

‘The odds were already in my favor!’

All-time luck appeared, but I couldn’t take it!

If this were another game I wouldn’t know, but this was <W.A.G>, and I knew most everything about this world.

It may be pathetic, but it was the truth.

‘Instead of studying, I only played this game.’

That’s why, ironically, I could choose ‘Slave Gladiator’ over ‘Great Mage’.

[Resume playing in 5 seconds.]

[5.]

[4.]

Of course I also knew this.

‘It was the best to delete a ruined character.’

But, right now, I didn’t even have a way to delete the character.

Since I was actually moving Guillaume’s body…

Do I have to commit suicide or something?

“…”

I didn’t even wanna think about that.

[3.]

Now, let’s change how I think.

‘Even though I’m not the main character.’

Even though I’m a wastrel that’s called imperial shame.

However, since I was inside the body of Guillaume, I had to use the situation to survive.

In the original story, he spewed out blood and died here, but I was going to be different.

There was no way my neck was going to be separated from my body.

We will survive.
