《Monillas: Human Garbage》Something Greater

With that, Jose and Yanlei took a seat. Antonio is just beside Jose so in a way, It's 2v1 battle.
"Okay, Jose, the dealer of the cards is this machine here."
Yanlei said as he tapped the small machine beside him. It's an automatic card dealing machine where the cards will be shuffled inside it and will be dealt with the players.
"We're not going to have a human deal the cards. It's much better for this guy to deal with it. Do you agree?"
Jose looked to the machine once and nodded his head.
"Then let's start! This game called Three Hand Poker!!!"
And now It starts!!! The gambling where they'll bet the years of work and money!!! Three Hand Poker!!!
+++++
First, Yanlei unpacked three sets of cards then entered it to the machine. Jose and Antonio heard the flashing sound of the shuffling cards. The sound was much faster than a shuffling that a human could do.
After approximately a minute, the cards we're dealt with the two of them, two by two. After some time, 15 cards were finally in their tables! At this time, Antonio's line of thought was:
"We need to strike hard now, so we need to get the strongest hand we can bet. We must assemble the strongest hand and play it from the start! Because if we win, we can get money and if we happen to lose at the 3rd Round, we won't lose any Work Years... we just need to pay money!!!"
Antonio's logic was right! The work years are something they can bet when they don't have anything besides money! That's why if they win the first round, they will have a different weapon.
Like a player who defeated a boss fight only with a rusty sword. But even If It's rusty, he decided to slay him with it and managed to win, and after winning, he got a sword definitely better than his rusty sword!!!

"So please...!!! Give us a hand that will give us momentum!!!"
Jose checked the hands five by five... and the first five cards were... a Straights!!! A straight composed of 3 of Diamonds, 4 of Hearts, 5 of Clubs, 6 of Diamonds, and 7 Diamonds.
"Wow, not a bad hand. But this is not enough! We need something greater and higher!!!"
Antonio wishes!!! He wishes for a much stronger hand, a hand they can lay their hopes!!! The best hand!!! But as Jose flipped the cards... the five cards resulted in a High Hand!!! Composed of 6 of Diamonds, 9 of Clubs, 2 of Diamonds, 4 of Clubs, and 5 of Hearts!!!
Jose flipped the other 5 cards and It's a High Hand too, basically a hand not even worth thinking about. It's composed of 2 of Diamonds, 4 of Clubs, 6 Of Clubs, 8 of Hearts and a Jack.
"Well, looking at these hands alone, they're trash. But!!! This is Three Hand Poker!!! We could combine these three hands we've got and built a much stronger hand! Okay, Jose!!!"
Antonio whispered something and Jose returned it with a nod. He combined the three hands and resulted in something greater. The first hand was three of a kind, the second was another three of a kind, and the last hand was two pairs!!! In just a moment, the heaps of trash that Jose was holding on suddenly became a powerful wall!!! A castle!!!
"All right!! This is the ideal situation! We've got a three of a kind. It's enough for us to bet our hopes on."
After some time, Yanlei finished his three hands too. He took his first hand and asked Jose, so... what will you bet?
"1 Work Years..."
"1 it is. I'm just going to tell you that you need to finish this 9 Rounds for you to go out of here with the money."

Jose just nodded and Yanlei declared "Call"!!! After he declared Call, they immediately have gone to the showdown. Jose dropped his first hand and Yanlei did the same. The result... was an astounding victory for Jose!!! Yanlei's hand is just a pair!
"YEAHHHHHH!!!!"
Antonio can't help but shout. No one would blame him, in a flash, he already got a Million Pesos. An amount that even a commoner would be struggling for.
Yanlei took a bundle from his case and threw a million pesos to Jose's table. In just a minute, they already got something that they can't get even if they work for 5 Years.
When will this night end!? Will it end with their victory of loss!? Yanlei and his Three Hand Poker swallowed so many workers falling them into debt!!! Jose and Antonio!!! Are you going to be the same!?

Necromage
Dan is your average worker who managed to get his hands on the a VR helmet for the newest game, Eternium. He finds himself in way over his head as everything is deadly down to the smallest Rabbit. Join Dan in his adventures through this fantasy world! This is an offshoot to my other series, Bunnymancer. This story will focus on what if Dan went down a different path and became a Necromancer instead of a Bunnymancer. The story will be a little darker and the first six chapters will be the same. Past that though we will get into a new plotline, though if you've already read through bunnymancer I would suggest starting at chapter 7 when reading through this. This is a book within the Completionist Chronicles Universe. I was given permission to make this as long as I did not publish it as an official Mountain Dale Press work or sell it for money.
