Mars slid down the tongue until he hit the floor and tumbled head over heels onto the floor.

“Ugh… “What kind of stupid ass entrance was that”

Standing up he dusted his already ragged clothes off and noticed Nowi Mimicing his fall in the air in front of him while gigling to herself.

“Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. find that funny eh, Nowi.”

He grabbed at her as she danced away from his grip chirping with laughter.

“Damn having only 6 DEX sucks I can't even catch Nowi” he shook his head with self loathing.

looking around, he could see that this place was different from the outside almost as if it was operating in it's own subspace or pocket dimension.

It had bright pink and blue pixies floating around, wearing maid outfits. Bringing sparkling neon drinks to the people sitting at the tables.

“How am I to find Old Bean in all of this” he said to himself as he walked over to the bar.

Tending the bar was a beautiful female she had bright red hair, glowing green eyes which shone like emeralds.

What really caught his attention wasn't her eyes, hair, or her abnormally large bust. It was her legs…Or rather, her lack thereof.

In place of what should be her legs, were eight slithering tentacles wiping back and forth mixing cocktail, after cocktail, tossing them over to the incoming fairies and patrons at the bar.

“Oi Brat, Having a looky at Scarlet eh” Old Bean slapped him in the back and laughed heartily.

Mars smiled as Nowi shot Old bean in the face with her Neon blue web.

“Aghh What this be kiddo, when did ye get a pet?” Old bean said as he spat onto the floor.

“She was from the quest item I showed you on our way in, seems like killing those snails benefited me a lot more than I thought they would have” Mars chuckled.

“Geezer, what's good to eat here I am starving… All I have had to eat since coming here has been a few berries.”

Rubbing his belly as he pretended to faint onto the bar.

“Oi Scarlet two Mudkip pies for the lad and I.. Oh and two Horns a ale” He tossed he a single gold coin “Keep the change.“ Giving her a flirtatious wink.

Scarlet caught the coin with one of her many tentacles, brought the coin to her lips and bit down on it.

“Wasn't planning on giving you change Beany, you still owe me from last time!” She said as she tossed the coin into her pouch and repeated their order to one of the floating pixies nearby.

“Bahh… kid if ya feel like gamblin ya have yer pick from slot machines, roulette, cards or if yer feeling really lucky you can take your chance on the bouts those are always a sight ta see even if ye lose” Old bean pointed to each station.

Waiting for their food to arrive from one of the neon pixies, Mars looked around at all the different gambling options..

“I will have to take a look at them after I eat” he thought to himself.

As he was thinking two fairies flew over one was bright green holding their drinks and one bright orange holding two steaming pies.

“Finally I can eat something with sustenance to it!”

He slapped his lips as he reached for a fork he had no time to admire its golden flaky crust or the gooey chunks of flesh within, he ate until there was nothing left.

Reaching for the horn of ale he noted a scent of cinnamon and apple just before chugging the drink back.

*BEEEELCH*

He rubbed his belly with satisfaction - Nowi floated next to him trying to catch the pixies with little to no success.

“Ahh.. Bean that was delicious thanks for the meal!” He noted that the old man was still eating his pie.

“Mmm don't mention it, why don't you go find a game ta play, I will find ye when i'm done.” Old Bean said with a wave of his hand.

Mars set off to the many different stands he saw some people tossing dice however the game looked too confusing for him the card tables were full as well so he made his way over to the simple slot machines.

“These look pretty easy, what do you think Nowi?” he said to the spider.

She chirped happily to him however she flew off into the rear of the slot machines, he decided to follow her - He stood in front of a giant frog looking machine which had its tongue out ready for you to pull it above its head was a massive screen.

“This is the one you want to play?”

She spun upside down and sprayed her web into the air.

“Hmm okay let's see if this works"

He placed his single gold coin into the frogs mouth and activated his skill before pulling the tongue.

Rigged: for the next 60 seconds all outcomes favour you

His mouth dropped as he read the skill window, he then looked up at the frog's eyes as not one, not two, not three but four skill books with a question mark on each of them appeared.

The machine chimed and rang for all to hear then the frog's stomach began to grow and it spat out a single skill book right into Mars’ face, he fumbled it a few times until finally catching it.

He opened the skill book and immediately was prompted with a new skill window…

Received skillbook: Item Duplication Learn skill: Y/N

He quickly decided yes.

Skill Acquired: Item Duplication Duplicates one Bound Item based on Luck; Stage 1 1/3 Stage 2 Unlocked at Luck 50

“Wow rigged seems a bit broken, all I have to do is wait here for ten minutes and redo this same process and I will be rich or a walking skillbook shop” Mars said to himself.

After looking at the skill window he was even more shocked.

“does this mean that if I duplicate my Dice, I can buff a single stat by up to eighteen or even three seperate stats by up to six?!” his mind began to work in overdrive, as he started to theorycraft all the different scenarios.

As he was in mid theorycraft, he heard Nowi screeching as guards came and cracked him in the head with a billy club knocking him unconscious...
