《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"

Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry. This series originally started on r/HFY, [Link] but I decided to post it here since people are so positive about it! Posting rate is, and likely will continue to be, rather inconsistent.

Re:Hammer
Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer (based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times. (Modified because the real setting was a catastrophe. There will be no exploding moons or beating the God Of Indulgence because they overindulged, and no Slaans fucking off to space. People shall use their brains and not just "lol cuz I can" bs like Todbringer thinking the end of the fucking world was the best time to go persue you interracial Yaoi rivalry with a Beastlord). So you might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~ Sequel found here. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/26444/rehammer-the-hammering

The Dawnfire Archives
It begins in the endless wastes, with an unknown man arriving at the bottom of the tallest mountain in existence. A mysterious voice provides few directions, bringing more questions than answers. Regardless, after choosing a name and weapon... the man begins to climb. He will not be alone on this journey. A young individual from a different reality has also made his way to The Climb. But what does their arrival bode for the people of this world? And where does climbing the mountain truly lead? This is my second novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the third being "The Card Thief of Culnivar". This story is much more GameLIT than Xianxia, and takes place in a different setting with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.

Just Some Guy
Available in Paperback and Kindle Look, I used to be just some guy… But then I made some changes… My job was like jail, now time and space cannot even contain me. When this whole thing started, well let’s skip ahead. The start of the story isn’t nearly as interesting as where I ended up. It all started with a dead body and an explosion… But what you really need to know is that, I used to be a loser, then I got jacked and went on my own adventure… After the explosion I took off west, expecting, well what does it matter what I was expecting? What I found was an epic adventure! Who would have thought that could happen to a former loser like me? I became a criminal, a musician, traveled through time, battled beings that shouldn’t exist and took part in a high stakes tournament. But that’s not the half of it! My editor says this blurb thing should be around 200 hundred words, but why don’t you just go ahead and buy the book to get the full story? “God does not play dice with the universe.” -Einstein (Sort of) “However, it’s entirely possible he’s using Me as his personal sitcom.” -Some Guy
