《Monillas: Human Garbage》Symmetrical
Advertisement
Antonio just came up with it!!! The ultimate plan to take down the devil!!! But for it to happen... they need to become... devils!!!
Since there's no choice or strategy left in the third round, Yanlei and Jose just undoubtedly picked their last hand. There's no need to hesitate, It's now or never!!!
Jose holds his cards and this is where Yanlei started to doubt something.
"Huh?"
The card in the last row of Jose's hand, Yanlei noticed something different on it. But It's not the cards or anything, It's what Jose just did. In his five cards, he just removed the card in the last row and rotated it, they took it back at his hand.
"He just rotated a card, right?"
In poker cards, there are symmetrical cards where no matter what state the card is, upside down, downward or left side, the shapes are still the same!!! Because It's symmetrical!!! But...!!! Some cards are not!!! You need to rotate this specific card because It has the right shape. Not rotating these cards would mean they're upside down!!! Unlike the symmetrical cards!!!
Like a painting that is upside down, you need to rotate it to appreciate It's a beauty!!! Or else you will have to turn your head upside down too!!! No one will bother doing that kind of thing!!!
Most of the cards in Poker are symmetrical, especially the numbers!!! Except for the seven!!! And the Ace!!!
"If he just rotated a card right here, then... It should be either the seven or the Ace!!! Wait...!!!"
Yanlei felt his braille under the table and his fingers felt the numbers, he rounded them up then... he smirked!!!
"I won!!! These two idiots just made a huge mistake!!! Now I learned that they have two of Two Pairs and a Straights. It's just a rough calculation, but It should be right."

Yanlei felt the numbers and confirmed that his last hand is either a has a Seven or Ace on it and It would be both to be Two Pairs. But...!!! It enters his mind!!! Like a raging arrow, falling from the skies!!! It enters his mind!!!
"My Hand is just a Pair..."
+++++
"What the fuck? I planned to take them down with my Royal Flush and break their spirits so I didn't think that It'll have to come this way!!! I know that these two pieces of garbage... have a Two Pairs hand and there's a seven or Ace on it!!! Yet... with that much information... I can't win by raw force!!!"
Yanlei can't win with raw force alone!!! This is the first time in his playing of Three Hand Poker that he's being cornered!!! Like a rat who got trapped in a cage!!! There's no way out!!!
He always uses his Royal Flush to crush the opponent's spirit in the third round. Adding to the fact, that he almost all of his plays are bluffs and High Hands even though he can build a stronger hand.
With that, slowly but surely, his opponent is going to be consumed by the darkness!!! Negativity, Anxiety, Frustration, these three things will well up inside his opponents affecting their playing style!!! So normally, It's already an easy win at the last round!!! But...!!! Not this time!!!
"So my only choice is to bluff, huh? A desperate bluff..."
Yanlei clings to the only rope he knows to win!!! A bluff!!! He needs to bluff them that he has at least higher than Two Pairs!!!
"My bluff will work!!! It will surely work!!! These two idiots are chickens who always step on the pedal if they're already ahead of the cliff!!! Just a bunch of cowards..."

"So what will be the bet, Jose?"
"1 Work Years..."
On the outside, Yanlei looks composed while looking at Jose but in his mind, he's celebrating!!! His mind is in a state of euphoria!!!
"It's still 1 Work Years... even If I lose here It's just a million, nothing more. I could lose that much. It will be disappointing to lose a free worker... but... I have so many free workers for me!!!"
"Then, I'll Raise 10 Million!!!"
Another 10 Million Raise!!! At this moment, Yanlei was confident!!! Confident that the ball he just kicked towards the goalpost was a sure win!!! He's confident that this shot of his will is the winning point for his team, but...!!!
"Yanlei, you asked me earlier... if I'm going to enter your chicken race... I accept your offer!!! Raise!!! 10 Work Years!!!"
But the goalkeeper who was failing all this time... jumped!!! Jumped and punched the powerful shot of Yanlei away from the goal!!! Yanlei's shot was rejected!!!
"What the actual... fuck!?"

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)

Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border.

In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd awhile ago. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: inncect (formerly astrxphoria) from wattpad.com, where this story was first published.
