《Bone Sage》Chapter 8: Dice and Cards (part 1)
Advertisement
Melton and Mathias went in the Casino and what they found inside was quite fascinating. The casino was made from marble and decorated with gold and blue crystals along with some carpets and painting. The combination of those three colors was quite a site to behold. It was giving off a feeling of royalty, superiority and divinity. At the front was a reception with a elegant man in blue outfit with golden buttons and some kind of silver badge. They approached him and to get information about casino since it was first time entering it for both Melton and Mathias.
"Good evening gentleman. How may I help you" The man said in calm and kind voice
"Hello. This is our first time entering here so we would like to get some information about the games , the way people bet on them and where to go to play" Melton replied
"Oh of course out dear guests. You can head either left or right to enter the great hall where all the games are being held. It consists of two floors but there is no difference between them and the games are the same. On leftmost side of first floor is a bar and on second floor a bit deeper in there are private rooms. As of money you can use the money this country provides or in case you have different currency you can exchange it here at my desk for equal amount in. If you wonder about games we have all classics such as poker, black jack ,roulette and such."
"All right. Thank you for information"
And so Melton and Mathias went right side and entered the main hall. It was a large and pretty decorated place , far prettier than entrance. Melton was quite surprised with such a sophisticated and elegant design while Mathias was in complete awe looking and pointing at everything. The game went on and the bets started to raise. First round they increased bets to ten , next one to fifty , the third round was an entire platinum coin. Melton thought to himself that the guys he is messing round with are quite rich and that they are probably dangerous. He was not sure what to do so he decided to increase the bet to two platinum coin. Other gentleman were quite surprised but intrigued by his bold decision and decided to follow. The total money on the table amounted to 14 platinum coins and 40 gold coins and it was the time to reveal the hand. The bald man and the one in red tuxedo got straight while the one in brown got flush. Since Melton had full house he was the one who got all the money.

"Impressive kid. But you better hit it because if you keep going your luck will run out" Said the bald man. A pretty lady handed him a glass of martini which he lit with his finger and drank up. Melton felt provoked by that so he decided to stay a bit longer. They kept betting and Melton somehow managed to win most of them and obtain a profit. Up until now he amassed 100 platinum which is already a 1/5 of what he needs. After joking around how it seems he has enough luck after all ,suddenly, a large group of servants from casino gathered to make an announcement.
" Attention everyone. Owner of the casino , Demi the Dice , is about to make an appearance"
Everyone stopped betting and turned their eyes towards the path the workers set up. It seemed like that "Demi" guy was quite an important person.
"So. Who exactly is this Demi guy?" He asked guys at his table.
"WAIT!YOU DON'T KNOW?!. He is the most successful and dangerous gambler in the world. They say he never lost a single bet and not only that. I heard someone say that he is crazy strong too."
The lights went out for everywhere except the blue path that was set up. On the path was a strange man that walked to the balcony of the second floor and started speaking
"OH DARLINGS! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ALL HERE. MY NAME IS DEMI AND I AM HERE TO MAKE A NIGHT WONDERFUL FOR EVERYONE."
Then the lights went back on and it was easier to see. The man wore white tuxedo with blue and gold embroidery. His hair was blue ,curly and long , about his shoulders length. His skin was very pale and he had both blue lipstick and eyeliner on himself which made him look like someone who looks too glamorous to the point where they resemble a clown. He started walking down toward Meltons table and said
"OH MY.IT SEEMS WE HAVE QUITE AN INTERESTING FIND HERE"

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
