《The Gambling Demon King is full of Misfortune》Chapter 8
Advertisement
I woke up, the sun blinding me.
“Time to hunt”
I said with a small grin, as I hopped out of my bed, grabbed my shortsword and club and left for the forest.
I was in a part of the forest that was mostly filled with rabbits and wolves.
After a few minutes of walking around, looking for something to kill. I came across a rabbit… with a weird horn on its head.
‘It’s a horned rabbit’
I thought, as I readied my shortsword and club, and I pounced on it.
“Die!”
I shouted as I hit it in the head multiple times with the club, using the shortsword to block its horn.
I killed it… but, it’s inedible… mostly because I hit it too much… now, it’s literally an amalgamation of blood, guts and… fur.
“Eeergh!”
I shouted in disgust, as I threw it away.
“Grrrr”
I threw it right into the mouth of a wolf.
“Well then, let’s fucking do this!”
I shouted as I sprinted towards it, prepared to kill.
It was taken aback by my sudden movement, which allowed me to give it a swift… multiple club strikes to the head.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
I laughed, as I grabbed the wolf and took it back to camp, to be cooked.

“Alright then… let’s get some more exp”
I said, as I returned to the woods.
Only to see… another fucking ogre!!!
“Oh… me and my fucking luck… god damn it!”
I whispered angrily, as I readied my shortsword and club.
“Come get some!!!”
I shouted, as I stabbed it in the back of the leg.
“ROOOAR!!!”
It roared in pain, as it swung its club at me.
“Oh fuck!”
I shouted, as I dodged the club.

I then counterattacked by stabbing the ogre in the leg, causing it to cry out in pain.
“GRAAAAAAH!!!!”
It swung its club downwards, trying to crush me.
“Oh fuck!”
I shouted, as I rolled out of the way of the club and stabbed it in the toe.
“GRAH!!!”
It roared as it kicked me in the stomach, causing me to go flying back.
“Guh!”
I shouted in shock as I tried to get up.
“Bring it on you son of a bitch!!!”
I shouted with a grin on my face, as I rushed at it.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
I woke up, covered in blood with the ogre lying next to me. With its head lopped off, and a dead rabbit next to me.
I slowly got up.
“Never… doing that… again”
I said, as I limped back to camp, with the dead rabbit in my hand.
“This’ll be a decent snack”

When I got back, I got several notifications.

“Looks like I didn't kill the ogre using the club… damn”
I said, as I began to eat my dinner, which was a cooked wolf and cooked rabbit.
“I know that this should’ve been a snack… but, it’s better to go to sleep on a full stomach”
I said to myself, as I continued eating.
“Oh, right… [Status]!”
I said, as I remembered about my status.

After half an hour of slashing at the tree, I got tired.

“Well… that’s pretty good, I at the very least have a better will than the average person… now… time to take a break”
I said as I laid on the grass and looked at the sky.
‘Just looking at the sky like this… reminds me of my past life… I had so many regrets… I want to live this one… no regrets… at all’
I thought, as I began to fall asleep.

I woke up, around half an hour later.
“Aaaah~ That was a good nap… now, do I have anything left to do today… oh right! The lottery!”
I shouted in sudden realization.
“System!”
Yes?
“Lottery, please”
Rolling.
I saw several words scroll past.
“Paladin”
“Demonic Blade”
“Gauss Rifle”
“World Key”
“Red Dragon”
“Blunt Sword”
“Wooden Dagger”
“Child Slave”
But, what I got was… Curse of the snake (Minor)
I looked at it for a second, confused. But then, rage overcame me.
“Are you fucking shitting me! Gah!”
I shouted, as I felt an enormous amount of pain come from my mouth.
“Gyaaaaaaa!!!”
I continued to shout throughout the night.
“What… happened… to me… it… hurtsssssss”
I said, with a hiss.
“What… was that a… hisssss? Oh god! Cursssse of the ssssnake! Sssshit!”
I shouted in anger.
“Thissss isss fucking bullssshit!!!”
I shouted, as I kicked a tree.
“Sssssystem!”
I shouted.
Yes?
“What happened to me!?”
I asked angrily.
The curse of any living being, no matter how small. Will always result in a mutation. Your body has suffered from that mutation. So, you’re part snake. But, there’s a good side to this. You can secrete poison from your fangs.
“Fangsss!? Poissson!? Fucking hell! I can’t talk with the letter ssss anymore! God damn it!”
I shouted angrily.
You are also immune to certain types of poison, like the ones you have at your disposal
“Onesss… like… more? What typesss of poisssonsss do I have?”
I asked.
Numbing, Venom, Petrifying and a poison that can work as medicine. In small doses.
“Ssso… I’m immune to medicine to?”
I asked.
No, you’re not.
“Okay… good… now, I’m going to sssleep”
I said, as I passed out.
Oh, and you’ll be compelled to sleep when it’s hot out. Sort of like hibernating… and snakes will be more attracted to you.

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle. [ – Now Completed with upcoming minor revisions before second book – ] + complex character relationships and growth + realistic quirky magic system + unique mythical creatures + deeply developed world lore + evocative writing style + cute sassy fox sidekick - Original Book Cover Art by Chryiss Rewritten final version of formerly named Canaan series and first book, My World to Live.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
