《Monillas: Human Garbage》A Devil
Advertisement
Gambling is illegal in the Philippines. The only gamble that is allowed in this country are the lottery they call a "Lotto". Some workers do this kind of thing for a chance to change their lives.
But in this Lotto, It's near impossible to get the jackpot. To get the jackpot, you need to pinpoint 8 numbers correctly. For example, if your number is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Then, the Lotto needs to draw that exact 8 numbers.
You have 10% chance to win the jackpot if the number you need to win is only one number. You just need to predict that number from 1-100, making your chances to 10%. But... let's add 7 numbers to that, and the fact that they have to choose from 1-100.
10 - 70 = -60!!! It means, that you only have the chances of at least, 0.6%!!! Adding to the fact that... the whole nationwide!!! If there are at least 3 Million people on Philippines, your chances of winning the jackpot with that much rivalry would make it... 0.1,000,000%!!!
A one in a million chance!!! A gamble near impossible to win! But people are still doing this... why? Because even If their chances are low, they still believe that they have this luck!!! A luck needed to win! Even If It's faint sense of hope, they still followed it! As if being a child following their mother... only to know that the woman they're following... is not their mother!!!
"Isn't this kind of Casino illegal!?"
Immediately said by Antonio. Casinos are illegal in the Philippines but...
"Antonio, do you know the saying? A problem is not a problem as long as no one sees it as one."
Yanlei retorted! As long they're not caught...everything is fine! People are going to Casinos because some are sick of playing gamble where luck is the deciding factor. They like Gambles where he himself can decide it. In short, a battle of minds! A Psychological Battle!!!

Jose looked around at the casino and saw all kinds of gambles nearby. There's Sabong, Poker, Solitaire, Mahjong, Barracats. All of them is different. Another thing... this Casino doesn't use chips. It uses real money... real pesos!!!
Seeing that large amount of money in front of their eyes... Antonio and Jose are both in a daze. Unable to know what they're going to do next! Yanlei clapped his hands to wake the two up and said...
"Okay, guys! You could choose out of this gambles, what would you like best?"
"But Yanlei... I don't have my money right now and I don't think I'll do this kind of thing either."
Jose is hesitating! In a gamble, you'll bet your money and if you lose... your money will lose along with you! The money he's got is his only lifeline! Losing it would be... the end!!! Seeing Jose's hesitation, Yanlei... made a move!!!
"Jose, do you know what you're saying? You don't have anyone to borrow money, right!? It means that this is the only way left for you to get money! Your last ray of hope! Don't worry, I will lend you 2,500 Pesos for the meantime. Just pay it when you win big."
Jose listening to Yanlei... was faced with a choice. Continue or leave? Seeing that large amount of money... his mind can't leave that image. The large. amount of money he just saw earlier is like a poison who seeps into his mind! He can't leave that image in his head!!!
"If... if... by chance, I won... that money will be mine, right?"
Stuttering, Jose asked for confirmation. Yanlei on the other hand, was smirking...
"Of course! It will be yours!!!"
"Then... I'm in!!!"
At that time, Antonio didn't saw Jose being convinced by Yanlei. More like... he saw a devil...whispering to Jose.

Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
8 116Aristocratic Avenue
Andrew had a pretty simple life plan: write LitRPG fiction, make a boatload of cash, and... well, he'd figure out what he actually wanted to do with the cash once he'd gotten it. But things haven't worked out quite as he'd hoped. After dozens of failed LitRPG serial attempts and countless thousands of words written, he's found himself pushing forty and broke, living alone in a crappy apartment.But when the platform upon which he publishes his work, Aristocratic Avenue, gains sentience, he and his fellow writers suddenly finds themselves transported to a playground of its own making, a place where there are no rules except the ones the authors have imposed upon themselves through their own writing. Spawned in pods of three, they will need to work together to figure out just what the darned heck they're supposed to be doing and how to get the goodness gracious out of there.In Andrew's pod are the bossy and enigmatic Margeaux Sinclair, crossover erotica/LitRPG author who immediately demands increasingly kinky sex from the hapless Andrew in order to level up. There's also teenager Zachary, who is rather regretting his choice to write about a world populated only by the undead. Turns out, it's kinda hard to talk when your lips are rotting off.Armed only with his skills of Deduction and Investigation and an inspirational mug he managed to bring along with him from home, Andrew is determined to answer one question:What the ever-loving blessed little heart?!---This is a blow-off-steam hobby project, and I can't tell you how often it'll update as it's dependent on my regular work. But I hope you enjoy it regardless!
