They took me to a room on the second floor. I could see the casino downstairs through a large one-way mirror. They told me to stay put and closed the doors behind them. After a while, the door opened.
”My, my, my, who would have thought that the new student would be caught cheating at a casino?”
”you call it cheating, I call it beating the game.”
”You are funny xiler, but this is my establishment and it has rules I am afraid. One being counting cards is prohibited.”
”Ms. Nanami let's cut right to the point. I and you both know that I only did that to get your attention.”
”well, I am flattered that you would go so far, just to get my attention. What could you possibly want with little old me?” she said while resting her chin on her hands.”
I stood up and slammed my hands on the desk between us.
”you think I am a fool! You think I would not know that it was YOU and that sorry excuses you call a crime family, who sent dumbasses 1 2 and 3 after me today!”
”And what if I have? What could the likes of you do about it hmm?”
Nanami stood up from her chair and got in my face. I could feel her breath on my lips.
”You are just some new student who came into town, who does not know how things work around here. You should have taken my hits that day instead of showing off. KNOW YOUR PLACE!”
*SMACK!”
Along stillness descended upon the room. Only the muffled sounds of the people downstairs could be heard.
”y..you..you..”
*SMACK!*
”It is YOU who should know THEIR PLACE!”
Both of Nanami checks were red. She looked at me with a surprised shock on her face. It was as if her brain was still trying to comprehend what had just happened.
”Silly little girl, you sent people after the wrong person. Did you think I came here to chat and point fingers? I am a man of action!
*SMACK, SMACK, SMACK*
Nanami looked up from the ground with a vicious look in her eyes.
”GUARDS!!!!” she screamed.
Two large men came bursting through the door. They saw Nanami laying on the drew out their pistols. I took the stapler off the desk and threw it at one of the guards.

”ahck!”
The stapler hit the guard in the forehead, causing him to drop his gun. The other guard started shooting as started to run across the room. I could hear the bullets hitting random things behind me. I ran towards the one-way mirror and jumped, crossing my arms in front of me.
Glassing shattered and sparkled down to the floor below. People looked up in surprise as I came falling down. I rolled forward when I hit the ground and started running. The guard came to the broken mirror and started firing from up above. People screamed and started to rush out of the casino. I grabbed a dealer from one of the tables and used her as a shield.
I could feel her body shake as the bullets hit. I threw the dead body away and ducked behind a turned over table.
More guards started to show up, I could hear their feet on the other side of the table as they drew near. Taken some chips on the ground, I threw them into the air. The guards moved their heads so the chips wouldn't hit their faces.
I Didn't give them chance to recover, I hoped over the tabled and dashed towards them.
The guard in front saw me and pointed his gun out, but it was too late. I grabbed his hand and pointed it up towards the roof.
*BANG! BANG!*
I snapped his risk back.
*CCRrraaackkKK!*
”AHHH!”
I took the gun out his hand and pushed him away, at the same time I turned around and fired.
”BANG!”
A guard had come up behind me. He flew back and crashed into some chairs.
Someone from the side kicked the gun out of my hand, they then kicked twice towards my face. They missed each time and I grabbed their leg. I took my foot and slammed it on their other knee cracking it.
”This way!”
I turned to look to see the police was entering the building. I saw a gun on the ground and grabbed it. I started shooting at the lights. Hearing shots the police ducked behind cover.
The casino was mostly dark now. I made my way back to the office, but Nanami was already gone.
Later that night I returned back home, the first thing I did when I got back was to check if the game was still updating. Sadly it was so I decided to get some sleep.

The next day I was reading some of the new changes coming with the games update when I heard a knock on my door.
”young master two detectives are downstairs, they wish to speak with you.”
Getting up from the computer I made my way downstairs and greeted the two detectives.
”Ah, good morning detectives,” I said shaking their hands. ”To what pleasure do I owe you two a visit this fine morning.”
”Ahem yes, my name is detective Ronhouse and this is my partner detective Hence. We are here to ask you a couple of questions, are your parents, home?”
”No, it's just little old me, not counting the staff of course. Father is overseas handling business., and my mother died sadly.”
”I am so sorry to hear that, anyway as I have said we would like to ask you a couple of questions.”
”Ah yes, please have a seat.”
I gestured for them to sit down in the living room, and got one of the staff to bring us some coffee.
”We are investigating an incident that occurred at the mall. Two police officers engaged Four other suspects in a physical altercation. The two officers came out with minor injuries, nothing life-threatening. As for the suspects, three are in custody.”
Detective Hence reached into his pocket to take out his phone, on the phone he played a video of me fighting in the food court. The next video he played was me leaving out of the elevator as the police rushed inside.
”Before you ask, yes that is me in the video. I do however want to say, is that those three men attacked me. Which you can probably see from the footage you have.”
”We are not here to arrest you.” Mr. Hence said. ”We would like to know why did these people attack you and why you did not report it.”
”Well as you can see Mr. Hence, I think I defended myself pretty well. I felt that any further action would be a waste of everybody time.”
”well, that still doesn't explain why they would attack you.”
”Maybe this is connected to my father somehow. You don't get all off this and not make a few enemies along the way.” I said pointing out the staff and lavish lifestyle around me.”
”That could very well be the case, but tell me… Why would the three goons who work for the Tama crime family, say they were hired to teach you a lesson.” Detective Ronhouse said while drinking a sip from his coffee.
”As I said before, could be a matter related to my father.”
”I think you are lying to us.”
”Think what you will.”
We all looked at each other. The seconds felt like minutes as the ticking sound from the clock on the wall was the only noise in the room.
”Well, I guess we should be going, thank you for your time.” The detectives got up from the chair.
”It was no problem at all detectives, can someone show or guests out please.”
I watched the detectives leave from out the window. A rumble of thunder shuddered in the sky.
POV: Detective Ronhouse
I could tell the kid in front of me was hiding something, but I needed to hurry and meet my contact for the Tama case. After saying our goodbye, we walked down the long walkway from the house.
”I don't trust that kid Hence, something is really off about him.”
”Ah you are just thinking into things too much, he ain't nothing but some rich kid all alone.”
”So why would the Tama family send some people after this kid, or doesn't add up. He is involved somehow, I can feel it.”
”Well let's focus on getting somewhere with what we have now. Still meeting your contact?”
”Yeah, hopefully, we can get some good information.”
Thunder rumbled as a light sprinkle started to come down from the grayed out sky. I turned to look back at the house. I caught the curtain In the front window falling back down Into place.
Something was going on, I could feel it.

‘If you can survive the trials of treading a million nails, would you still go? If you are willing to encounter death at every step, dreading the next, are you still willing to enter? If you leave and experience the trials further still, would you do so? If you find yourself being pursued by everyone and everything, chasing you down to the edge of the cliff, would you jump to certain death or fight back and be labeled as a monster? You can choose whether or not you want to change your life right at this doorstep. If you do say no, then nothing will happen to you. If you say yes, then your life will change. Succeeding will bring you great power. And if you fail, then you will be enslaved within Oblivion for eternity. What is your answer?’ Tus heard the ancient voice that sounded like sandpaper as he stared at the altar with the land and sky frozen in motion. The words repeated themselves over and over again, forcing him to answer without the chance of taking it back. Armed with a borrowed sword and cheap armor that looked like wood, he said aloud without hesitation, “Yes!” The altar hummed, a green light flickered in the surroundings, and Tus ceased to exist.
