Twenty-sided dice.

In the era when the Star Dynasty went from prosperity to decline, the emergence of the New Continent became a paradise for various races to adventure and compete. Extensive mountain ranges protected the fragile Human Lord Alliance; the Dwarves guarded the gate to the land of wealth; the Elves continued to expand their forests, trying to recreate the glory of the Silver Moon era. On the other side of the mountains, dragons ruled the sky, orcs occupied the ground, and other evils lurked in the underground. In these days, Sigel was just an orphan, found in a cage while fishing for octopus, accompanied by a twenty-sided dice. He dreamed of adventure and becoming a hero, but did not know how to achieve it. He had been a sailor, a squire, a knight, and a lord, but only the power of magic captivated him. However, how to stay true to oneself amidst magic became his greatest challenge. (This is the story of a mage. P.S. "骰" is pronounced as "tou" with the second tone)
