《The Gambling Demon King is full of Misfortune》Prologue/Chapter 1

‘Where am I?’
I thought as I wandered through a thick fog until a blue screen appeared before me.
You are in purgatory.
It stated.
‘Then, how do I get out?’
I thought, waiting for the blue screen to show up, again.
You reincarnate.
It stated, again.
‘How do I reincarnate then!?’
I thought.
Ask.
It stated, bluntly.
‘O-oh… I want to reincarnate’
I thought.
Certainly. Would you like to have your class and skill now or later?
It asked.
‘N-now’
I thought.
Rolling Class.
The screen started rolling showing me classes such as:
“Tamer”
“Healer”
“Knight”
“Hero”
“Bard”
“Adventurer”
“Traveler”
“Mage”
“Summoner”
“Necromancer”
What I ended up with was:
“Demon King”
‘Oh… lovely’
I thought sarcastically.
Rolling Skill.
It started to roll again, showing skills such as:
“Swordsmanship”
“Tame”
“Death Aura”
“Enslave”
“Control”
“Appraisal”
“Plant Manipulation”
“Bone Manipulation”
“Blood Magic”
But, it ended with a skill called “Lottery”
‘Lottery… that sounds… useful?’
I thought.
Reincarnating Now.
Randomizing Stats.
Randomizing Name.
Randomizing Body.
That was the last thing I saw, before going unconscious.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
I awoke in the middle of a forest.
“Where… am I?”
I asked nobody in particular as I saw a lake near me, so I looked into it to see…
A beautiful man.
Snowy white hair, red eyes with snake-like slits for pupils, a chiseled face. And, two large horns coming out of my head.
“Holy shit… I’m beautiful”
I said, happily.
I wasn’t really handsome in my previous life.
I wasn’t ugly either, mind you.
I was completely average.
So, when I saw my new body. I was in for an even bigger surprise.
I was around 7’2, had the body of a professional body-builder. Several long red spiraling tattoos on my torso, arms, and neck.
Oh, and I had a tail.

“What should I do?”
I said aloud, as I looked at my surroundings to see even more… trees.
I suggest using your [Status]
“Gah!”
I shouted in shock, as I saw a floating blue screen suddenly appear before me.
“Y-you’re the screen I saw in purgatory, correct?”
I asked.
That is somewhat correct. I am more of a shard of the status. I’m here to guide you through your adventures.
“O-okay… what should I do?”
I asked.
Say [Status] to learn how strong you are, that’s what I suggest.
“Okay. [Status]”
I said as a large blue screen appeared before me.

“W-why is my luck so low?”
I asked.
Your stats were randomized. I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do about that. You should be happy that everything else is so high.
“Say… what’s the average stat for everyone else?”
I asked in a curious tone as I walked through the woods.
10 for each stat is the average. That means, you’re above average in every aspect except for luck. You’re considered cursed with a luck like that.
“So… nothing will go my way?”
I asked.
Yes. Nothing will go your way, but you can use that to your advantage, simply think “I hope I die today” and you will instantly live through anything the world throws at you.
“By the way… what’s this world called?”
I asked.
This world is called Valerion, it’s a world of swords, magic, and qi.
“That’s so cool!”
I shouted as my inner-nerd was freaking out.
I’m glad you like it sir, now. Let’s find civilization.
The status said.
“Okay, let’s go!”
I shouted enthusiastically.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
It’s night.
I’m lost.
There’s a pack of wolves around me.
Help, please.
Use your lottery skill, you could get lucky.
The status said.
“Okay… [Lottery]!”
I shouted.
Rolling.
Words passed by quickly, but I caught a glance of some:
“Excalibur”
“Blood Magic”
“Stick”
“Baby Duckling”
“Werewolf”
“Iron Shield”
“Steel Knife”
I ended up with… a “Pet Rock”
I am so fucked!

Moonlight Sword Sect
One of the three great sects, the Moonlight Sword Sect is a powerful sect that rules over a overwhelming amount of deity-like cultivators, like a dragon that rules over powerful treasures. The Moonlight Sword Sect, also called as the ?Moonlight Illusions Sect,?is the most feared sect among the three great sects for its profound and mysterious technique that can destroy realities and even the time itself. Indeed. This is the sect that no one must or even most, "can" fight as this sect is strong by any means, be it offensive or defensive as they can bend the reality to illusions, giving the attacker or defensive side a dim light of hope of surviving from the wrath of the Moonlight Sword Sect. However... "Are you really that serious, sect master?" "Yes, I am indeed serious." "You're giving away the sect master role to someone so that you can go away from your sect-master duties and court that female cultivator from other sect?! Are you serious sect master?!" "Yes." "Sigh... I can't believe this is happening..." ??? "Xiare! I challenge you!" "Hehehe.... Even though you're an OP character, you're still a weakling, my little Eumi. Fine then. I'll accept your challenge. Let's duel! Show me your best cards!" Indeed. Instead of a more serious tone of what the Moonlight Sword Sect cultivators imagined and portrayed by the other cultivators to be, they were instead opposite of that. Instead, they were casual, free from worries and most importanty— carefree with no sign of ending. It was as if they were like a joke, despite being one of the most feared sect across the cultivation and mortal world. Follow the cultivators of the Moonlight Sword Sect as they experience the changing world with their carefree lifestyle.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
