I'm Stuck on a Remote Island With the Male Leads

Chapter 84

Surprisingly, Enoch supported Arthdal ​​and helped me.

"I guess this is what it means to have a lot of potentials, but no talent." Arthdal, who had been glaring at me for a long time, sighed and evaluated me very sharply and coldly.

I was so embarrassed to hear that from someone who had been sticking with me all day to explain how to control mana. Even so, I had no intention of showing him that I could handle mana easily, so I remained silent.

"That's because I've never done this before. If I practice, I will get better."

Despite my answer, Arthdal shook his head in skepticism.

"Anyway, what else is there to do? Young Lady is the only person who can use mana. There's no other way, so keep practicing."

At Arthdal's words, I quietly nodded my head.

So we continued practicing mana control until Ruzef came down from the second floor and prepared dinner.

Several squirrels were caught in the trap I had set up, and thanks to that, we were able to eat dinner moderately. We sat down in front of the fireplace and ate meat.

Ruzef, who was eating while sighing as if he had no appetite, said, "If someone purposely locked us up on this island, there must be a purpose, right? But no matter how much I think about it, I don't know why."

Hearing Ruzef's muttering, Arthdal, who was gracefully eating meat, nodded. He wiped his mouth with the handkerchief made from tearing his clothes and replied, "Yeah, it even seems like a God's joke."

A God's joke......

Hearing that, suddenly, a memory hidden beyond my consciousness came to mind.

"Dice game......"

"What?"

I mumbled in a very low voice, but Arthdal asked back. Did he hear it? Enoch and Ruzef also looked at me.

But I don't have time to care about their gazes. This is because I suddenly remembered the meaning of the word Alea, which I learned in physical education class.

"Maybe......" I thought deeply and then raised my head. "Maybe Alea is the name of this island, not a person."

"Alea is this island's name?"

Arthdal asked me back. I stared blankly at the men who looked at me.

"The word Alea[1] means 'dice game' in the language of ethnic minorities in the eastern continent. The dice game is all about fate, no matter how hard you try...... But why is a word with such meaning engraved all over the island?"
[1] 알레아 (Alea): Rule, change of mind. The Latin word for dice. A game in which the rules exist, but the player does not have complete control over the outcome of his or her will.

It feels like a storm has come into my head. I grabbed my hair.

Ruzef opened his mouth carefully, "So what you mean is......"

"I think we are being tested. If Alea is not the name of this island, it could be the name of the experiment."

"Who dares to test us?" This time, Arthdal asked.

"I don't know. I think we should find out from now on. Those behind this don't only speak the official language of the western continent, but also the language of the eastern continent."

To be precise, the official languages of the western continent, Korean, and English. If someone really designed this island, wouldn't he know the language of this world and the language of another?
