《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》Chapter 60: Bad Boy Sam
Advertisement
“You are so dangerous with those tattoos, Sam. I don’t know if I can resist you anymore,” Jen laughed at him. In truth, Jen could feel the pressure and intensity that had lifted off of Sam after he’d made a working proto type of a “body enchantment tattoo,” as he called it.
“I don’t know if the tattoos would make me stick out more right now or wearing this long-sleeve tunic in the hot afternoon,” Sam said, as he felt like a spotlight was on him walking down the street.
Jen knew that she and Sam, or other professionals would zoom right in on someone wearing a long sleeve shirt right now, but everyone, not just professionals, would notice a man with tattoos running down his arms in the Decks.
“Even if someone was suspicious, you just blew over an entire field of trees with your tattoos, what could they do now.” Jen said in jest.
“I just wish the mana-barrier spell in the System Shop hadn’t been so crazy expensive. But, in the time we have left, finishing and tattooing the two legacy enchantments will probably push me to my limits anyways, and I don’t want to change our timeline for jumping to the Second Deck,” Sam said, as they were entering their store.
Jen could see Sam’s ears starting to turn red as all the people in the lines were talking. “That is Sam, the great Master Enchanter,” one man said.
“He has saved so many lives with his affordable healing charms,” a small older lady praised.
“As a Master Enchanter he could demand hundreds of gold to fix enchantments for the nobility and live in the biggest mansion in the city, but he fixes enchantments for the common man and farmers! He is truly an oddity in the Decks,” a farmer exclaimed.

The people in line weren’t aware that Sam actually made special appointments for the nobility and did in fact charge a lot of gold for repairing their enchantments. However, Sam had an enchanting habit to pay for.
Jen and Sam now had eight open mana channels and were on track to open more, but Sam was just too busy with his mana enchantment tattoos.
Tamako’s mana channels were taking much longer because of all the corruption she needed to clean out around every mana channel, but she now had four open mana channels and her fighting power had soared.
“That man is so frustrating, he just forwards all his skills, levels, and every other system notice to me and expects me to tell him if there is anything he should know.” Jen thought to herself as she watched Sam head into his workshop, not to be seen again for days.
Sam was level 20 and was almost to level 21 from all the experience points he gained working on his legacy enchantments and the tattoos. Jen was stuck at level 19 and wasn’t even close to all the points needed for level 20. “But my Ninja combat training has soared with Tamako’s help,” Jen thought as she was getting ready to meet Tamako for dinner.
Jen was OK with slowing down their leveling until they jumped to the Second Deck, because she was trying to spend as much time with Tamako as possible. As soon as Sam finished converting his new enchantments into tattoos, they planned to leave.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
