《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.
120 EXP

“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.

“Not enough for a level up, but… it’s getting closer… you know what… I’m gonna go back to punching that tree”
I said, as I began punching a tree.

“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.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!

Terms and Conditions
The planet Earth –galactic name Driew—has always been an ordinary and peaceful planet with a small population of ape-beings ruling it. Conflicts do break out from time to time, but that is to be expected since most living planets die by either solar flares or some form of self-destruction. But, unfortunately for the Earth, a Mustela named Exflibberaguil was approaching this planet, and something destructive seemed to always follow him—though he would say it was just his destructively-hot looks. Marine Nick Lucifay is a female inhabitant of Earth, always too ready to run. When presented with an opportunity of adventure, her ape-brain figures that adventure is probably worth the consequence of death. And so, setting off to the nearest McDonalds, Marine Nick finds herself in the midst of an intergalactic struggle that involves a great quantity of bubbles. Chased by the most unlikely of enemies, Exflibberaguil must give up his secrets to save a world—and Marine—from running to their deaths.
