《Monillas: Human Garbage》The Grim Reaper's Call
Advertisement
In this gambling where all sanity ended, Yanlei saw a ray of hope!!! Like Kandata seeing a really tiny string towards the heavens!!! He survived! He survived!! HE SURVIVED!!!
Meanwhile, Antonio still thinks along these lines:
"Good! We have him cornered!! There's no reason for him to raise the bet any longer!!! He should fold here while the hole still not going to hell! But in the off-chance that he still raised, we're going to All-In!!! 100 Work Years!!!"
This is Antonio's strategy!!! Two Pairs is not some card that he could rely on!!! It's a weak card not even worth betting a life! But...!!! They don't have any choice left!!! It's done or die!!! He took the leap, no, the two of them took the leap towards the cliff!!! Towards the other side!!! Towards the mountain of riches!!!
They don't have to Raise, but they keep on Raising and don't let Yanlei Call!!! They pressured him bit by bit!!! Until the point of exhaustion!!! A state where even he doubts about his decision-making!!! And eventually, Fold!!!
Like a snail that being surrounded by salt!!! All It can do is wriggle and wriggle, until to the point of death!!! This is Yanlei's state right now!!! But that's seconds ago!!! Right now... the demon rises!!! As if a guy waking from his slumber... the demon who got cornered and can't do anything but to wriggle rises!!! He rises!!!
"Call!!!"
While still wearing a very ominous smirk and smile on his face, he declared the words!!! A letter that only has 4 letters, has so many meanings depending on the sentence used... but this time... just this one time... this 4 letter word... but the two of them... a chill that was never known nor explained to them.
"What the hell did he just say!?"

"You didn't hear what I just said!? I declared Call!!!"
+++++
The total bet is now in a very insane amount of 60 Work Years!!! Jose is already 30 years old!!! If he loses this, he will have to work for 60 years with no salary!!! It will end by the time he's already 90!!! An old geezer!!! Meaning, he already bet his own life!!! His very life!!! So hearing this word right here and now... had put a very... very... scary chill in their backs!!! As if the grim reaper himself whispered to them and said:
"It's time to go..."
Hearing this word, Antonio reflexively retorted!!!
"Wait a minute!!! Are you really sure about that!? The fact that you tried to match our Raise means you're trying to bluff us... means your hand is something trashy!!! You could lose, you know!?"
"The fact that you already know that I'm bluffing gives me no reason to continue bluffing..."
He answered him with his ominous smirk and smile. It's different from the smile he puts on earlier... It's something more ominous scarier!!! Just for a moment, Antonio saw... a Death God beside him!!!
"This is bad!!! We made the stakes this high for him to be pressured but It ended up backfiring on us!!! The fact that he just declared Call means he's ready to face the consequences!!! His card is weak... but he's willing to bet... that our card is weaker than his!!!"
Not exactly!!! Because Yanlei cheated!!! He cheated!! Cheated!!! CHEATED!!! He doesn't need to play fair but he needs to look fair, this is his motto in life!!!
He intentionally dropped one of his cards, but It's not from his hand!!! It's a card from his last hand!!! It's a really simple trick!!! After that, he just exchanged those cards to his hand and slowly... he put the unneeded three cards of his hand inside his sleeve!!! A thing that magicians are experts at!!!

The card that earlier was a Pair is now... a Full House!!!
"Take this, you piece of trash!!! The true elite will prevails!!! I'm different from you!!! Totally different!!! I'm an elite!!! I even want to forget that I grew up like the two of you. But Nah, It's fine!!! Because... right now... I'm an elite!!!"
While Yanlei was having his own euphoria and celebrating his victory... Antonio is thinking... he thinks! He thinks!!! HE THINKS!!!
"Work up, my brain!!! Think!!! A way to escape this question!!! To win, a way to win!!!"
He searched for it!!! A way to win!!! Like a driver who got lost in the woods, he searches for it!!! The way towards victory!!! It's admirable for him to think clearly while his whole body is shaking down to the core, but...!!!

Late Night at Lund's
Book 1 - Late Night at Lund's is available for sale on Amazon. Book 2: The Lockwood Quest continues the story! A dental hygienist walks into a bar..... Dental hygienist Isa Chamberlin thought the biggest challenge in her life was getting over a messy breakup, but when she pops into a new neighborhood bar, she finds herself in a different world, one filled with wizards, spells, and monsters. Join Isa as she explores unfamiliar surroundings, uncovers new skills, and learns to level. Magic and monsters, allies and enemies, romance and danger, all of it just on the other side of a simple door. "Wear these bracers with pride.” the half-orc slid first one bracer and then the other over Isa’s forearms. “Fight with your heart,” he said as he pulled the laces tight. “And come back with a story to tell. That is what an adventurer does.” ....... **** Thank you for reading, and if you like the story, please rate and review. Isa and I would both like to level up! This story uses the 5th Edition Open Gaming License for game mechanics. I roll dice for combat outcomes and all skill checks.... which is sometimes surprising! One side note - I don't have a "sexual content" tag on - this is more romance than romp. But that might change!
