《The Gambling Demon King is full of Misfortune》Chapter 11 [Volume 1 End]
Advertisement
I woke up, hearing the footsteps of what sounded like a couple dozen humanoid beings.
“What? Oh fuck!”
I shouted, out of fear.
“Ouroborossss! Get down, I’ll hold them off”
I said, as I looked at my enemy.
Fifty goblins, each of them carrying weapons, ready to kill.
“Well, thisss issss going to be fun…”
I said with a small smile, as I grabbed my shortsword and club, then I walked outside the camp. To at least try and negotiate with them.
“Hello there, little goblinsss. What do you want?”
I asked.
“Everything”
“Blood!”
“Women!”
“Food”
“Gold!!!”
Their five leaders replied.
“Well then, sssorry to sssay. But the only thingsss we have here are food and blood, everything elssse… you could probably find sssomewhere elssse at a better price than we’d even sssell it for”
I said, with a smile.
“Huh?”
“Eh?”
“Wha?”
“Er...”
“What you mean!?”
They replied, confused.
“I mean. Fuck off before I fucking gut you like the little cunts you are!!!”
I shouted, as I pulled out my weapons, ready to fight.
“””””KILL THE DEMON!!!”””””
The five goblin leaders shouted.
“Oh, I hoped you would sssay that”
I grinned, as I ran forward and gutted one of the goblin leaders. And crushed another's skull, with a single swing of my club.
“KILL!!!”
“EAT!!!”
“PLUNDER!!!”
The remaining goblin leaders shouted, as they tried to kill me with their puny weapons.
“You think you can beat me!? With thossse weaponsss? You mussst ssssurely be missstaken!”
I shouted, as I decapitated one of the normal goblins, and punched another into my spike pit.
“That’sss four out of fifty… thisss isss going to be a long day…”
I said, with a smile, as I stabbed another goblin.
“Gah!”
One of the goblins got lucky and stabbed me in the leg, so I retaliated by pulling out the goblins knife, stabbing it in the eye and kicking it toward another goblin, causing both of them to fall into the spike pits.
“Ssssix…”
I said, in pain. As I readied myself once again.
“KILL DEMON!!!”
“IT KILL SIX OF US!!!”
“IT ALMOST DEAD!!! KILL!!!”
The goblin leaders shouted, from the back.
“Come at me!”
I shouted, as I punched a goblin in the face, causing it to stumble back. Into the dagger of another goblin, injuring itself in the process.
“DIE!”
One of the goblins shouted, as it rushed at me, to try and kill me. I instantly blocked its dagger, with my sword. But I failed to notice the goblin behind me!
“Gah!”
But, luckily. Ouroboros noticed it, and bit into the goblin, causing its insides to melt.
“You know what? I think it’sss about time I usssed my abilitiesss… [Iron Fist]!”
I shouted, as I concentrated on my right hand, as it began to glow in a silver light.
“Oh yeah! Now, thisss feelsss good!”
I shouted, as I looked at my right hand. It was completely made of iron now, but I could move it freely. Perhaps even more freely than I used to.
“Come at me!!!”
I shouted again, as I punched one of the goblins in the face, using my right fist. Which caused the goblins skull to crack into various pieces.
“Oh yeah!!! Try and kill me now!!!”
I shouted, as I ran up to another goblin and grabbed its head.
“[Smash]”
I said, as the goblins head smashed into millions of little pieces.
The battlefield was silent. It seems like the goblins morale had dropped considerably. But, when I thought it was all over, the goblin leaders had to just ruin it for me!

“DEMON HAVE SKILLS!!!”
“KILL DEMON!!! BEFORE IT KILL YOU!!!”
“KILL!!!”
The goblin leaders shouted, causing the goblins morale to rise.
“KILL!!!”
One of the goblins copied a leader, as it tried to kill me using… a rock on a stick.
‘You know what this calls for? Another rock on a stick!’
I thought, as I swung my club at the goblin, using my left hand… and I crushed its skull instantly.
‘10’
I thought.
“Alright then, that’s ten… forty more of you… and I’m not even tired, do you like thesse oddsss?! Huh? Do you!?”
I asked, as I readied my sword and club, my right hand still in its iron state.
“KILL HIM!!!”
“KILL KILL KILL!!!”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
It sounds like they’ve gone mad… I could use this.
“Alright then, but don’t sssay that I didn't warn you!”
I shouted, as I pulled out my Summon Card: Goblin Hunter, for all of the goblins to see.
‘System how do I use this?’
I thought.
Lay the card Face up and say “Summon”
The system replied.
‘Thanks System’
I replied in my thoughts, as I laid the card face up.
“Ssssummon!”
I shouted, causing some goblins to flinch. Mind you, they weren’t just standing there, while I was doing this. I’ve been dodging their attacks for a bit. And kicking them into each other.
‘I hope this works!’
I thought, as a Goblin, wearing several teeth from different animals for a necklace and wielding an actual spear. Appeared before me and kneeled.
“Master… what happening?”
The Goblin Hunter asked, confused.
“I’m in a battle, and I want you to help me. So, kill some of these goblins for me”
I said, as I punched a goblin wielding a stone tomahawk in the face, using the Iron Fist, crushing the goblins nose. Beyond repair.
“Understood!”
The Goblin Hunter said, as it pierced one of the goblins in the chest and started to laugh.
“Kekekekekekekeke”
The laughter caused the goblins to stop momentarily.
I didn't miss this opportunity.
“Die!”
I shouted, as I decapitated two goblins and using my club, crushed another’s skull.
‘14…’
I thought. Until another goblin fell to the ground.
“Huh?”
I looked at it, only to see Ouroboros biting into it.
“Oh, good job Ouroborosss, that’s fifteen! Only thirty five left!”
I shouted happily, as I decapitated another goblin.
Until they started to move again.
“KILL THE DEMON!!!”
“KILL THE HUNTER!!!”
“KILL THE SNAKE!!!”
They shouted completely different orders, as they hid in the back of their “swarm” of goblins.
Ouroboros took out another two goblins, using its large body and fire-venom.
The Goblin Hunter took out yet another goblin, using its spear.
“Good job! That’sss another three!”
I shouted, as I punched another goblin in the face, causing its entire head to explode into little bits, the shrapnel of its skull hitting another goblin in the face.
“Let’s do thisss! We’ll eventually take them out!”
I shouted, as I hit several goblins in their ugly little faces with my club, multiple times. Killing them.
I then went to punch another goblin in the face, but I got a message saying… [Iron Fist has worn off].
‘Shit!’
I thought, as I punched the goblin in the face, not doing nearly enough damage to kill it.
“Kekeke”
The goblin laughed, as it swung its dagger downward.
“Huh?”
I was confused.
Mostly at the sight of my own blood.
And the stub, where my right hand was.
Advertisement
I looked down, only to see my right hand. On the ground.
“GAH!!!”
I fell to my knees in pain.
“You sssonss of bitchess!!! I’m going to kill every ssssingle one of you! No mercy!!! Ouroboros!!!! Kill them all!!!”
I shouted, as I got up and readied my club.
“Come at me!!! You fucking cunt holes!”
I was enraged, as I ran at one of the goblin leaders and kicked it in the face, causing it to fall to the ground, giving me the chance to bash its head in.
“Kekekekekeke”
The Goblin Hunter was busy hunting… goblins, using its spear as a javelin and pinning the impaled goblins to the ground, most of them would lay motionless. Dead. The unlucky ones were still alive, feeling the pain of getting pinned to the ground by a spear, getting that spear taken out of you. Slowly, and then getting stabbed in the back of the head, with the exact same spear.
‘Even I wouldn’t want that to happen to me’
I thought, as I kicked another of the leaders in the face. Crushing its nose in the process.
“Ouroborsss, kill it”
I said, as I walked away from the crying goblin. As I heard it scream in a combination of pant-wetting fear and excruciating pain.
“GUAAAAH!!!!!”
I walked to the last leader, who had already fallen on its ass. Pissing itself.
“I pity you… truly, I do. I’ll give you until the count of five to lea-”
The goblin leader ran away as fast as it could.
“1”
I dodged a goblins rusted dagger.
“2”
I stabbed that goblin in the eye.
“3”
I took my shortsword out.
“4”
I decapitated another goblin.
“5!!!”
I started sprinting after the last leader.
But, after around thirty seconds of running, I stopped.
He’s going to bring me right to his village.
“Time to go back”
I said quietly, as I sprinted back to the camp.
To see all of the goblins, except for two dead.
The two goblins were my hunter and a random goblin, who was also using a spear.
The goblin saw me, and it did something I wouldn’t expect.
It threw the spear at me!
It was so sudden, that I couldn’t move.
I was paralysed with fear.
I couldn’t dodge it, break it or deflect it.
‘I’m going to have to take it’
I thought as I tensed my muscles, trying to give myself a slightly better chance.
Then, the spear pierced my chest.
“Guh!”
It went straight through.
I fell to the ground.
“Kekeke”
The Goblin Hunter stabbed the goblin in the face and turned towards me. Only to see me on the ground, covered in blood.
I saw Ouroboros, it was happily eating the corpses of the goblins, until it saw me. Ouroboros slithered toward me. Worried.
“Hisss?”
I could feel the sadness in its voice.
“I-I’m alright… Ouroborossss… Ssssystem…”
I said.
Yes?
“L-lottery”
I stuttered, as I looked at the spear protruding from my chest.
Rolling.
“Death Knight”
“Spell Book: Healing”
“HP potion”
“Holy Priest”
“Lich”
“Spell Book: Necromancy”
“Spell Book: Golemancy”
I ended up with one of the items I got previously. Healing (One time use)
“Oh thank god… Hunter… take this spear out of my chest”
I ordered.
“Yes, my lord”
The Hunter, who I have wisely named, Hunter. Pulled the spear out of my chest.
“Heal!”
I shouted.
But, I then got a message.
You have two life altering wounds on your body. You may only choose to heal one, but the other will never be able to be healed.
“Fuck it, I may like having both handsss… but… I want to live more than I want to have a pretty corpsse… Heal!”
I said, focusing on the wound in my chest.
It then began to slowly return to normal.
“Grah!!!”
I shouted, in pain.
“I forgot how much thisss fucking hurtsss!!!”
I shouted, as my chest returned to normal, with the exception of a large scar. That was the exact size of a spear.
“Alright… where’sss the wooden hand?”
I asked, as I looked around.
I found the wooden hand and… I had to drill it into my stub.
‘Why couldn’t this be more like a fucking glove!?’
I thought.
It is less likely to fall off, if it’s inside of you.
‘Thanks system!’
I thought, angrily, as I drilled the wooden hand into my stub.
“It… it feelsss weird…”
I said, as I moved the hand around.
It felt like a hand, but… I couldn’t move my fingers an inch.
“I need to… sit down”
I said, as I got a lot of screens appear.
‘Oh god, this will be a lot!’
I thought, getting prepared for the, crap load of messages about to appear.

You have completed your hidden mission and have been given a “Baby Golem” do whatever you wish with it. And remember, we’re always watching you.
The system said… creepily… what did it mean by “we’re always watching you”?
Anyways… My club, suddenly broke apart and the “Pet Rock” grew arms and legs. Even two little eyes, where its torso is, it looks so cute… I should name it something cute… hmm… I’ve got it!
“I’m gonna call you… Pochi”
I said, looking at its adorable figure.
“Alright then… let’s see… [Status]”
I said, as I saw my status change… not that much.

“Okay, let’s see… I’ll put 8 points into endurance, 8 points into will and split the remaining four into intelligence and wisdom, let’s see it now. [Status]”
I said, as I looked at my status again.

“That looksss better… now, let’sss go find that goblin village”
I said, commanding the Hunter, who I’ve named Gobuk, Ouroboros and Pochi.
“We’re going to kill every ssssingle one of thossse basstardsss that tried to get usss killed!”
I shouted, as I pulled out my sword and pointed it in the direction of the goblin leaders footsteps.

[???’s P.O.V]
‘Where am I?’
I thought, as I looked around… there was absolutely nothing.
You are in purgatory
‘Gah! Who was that!?’
I am known by many names, Ragnarok, God, Satan. But you may call me the System.
‘Okay… why am I here?’
You died.
‘No, I mean… how did I die!?’
You were murdered.
‘By who!?’
Your second husband, when you cheated on him. Only a day after your ex-husband and your second husband's former employee and friend killed himself.
‘Oh yeah, I did that… but, he had no right to kill me!’
You were in bed with… his brother, his best friend and his son from before your marriage.
‘So? That isn’t the worst I’ve done, I remember that I married my first husband because he was going to inherit his incredibly rich parents money, so I married him and waited for those old fucks to die. And when they did, I left him and got all of his money. I even the kids that he thought were his. And I got him fired, and took the house. Ha! Serves him right, for being such a fool!’
...
‘Anyways, how do I leave?’
You reincarnate.
‘How do I do that?’
Ask.
‘Okay, I want to reincarnate’
Certainly, would you like to have your skills and class now or later?
‘Does it make any difference?’
If you get it now, it will allow you to adjust to your new body. If you do it later, you will feel like you’re in a different body to your old one.
‘Okay, I’ll do it now’
Rolling Class.
The screen started rolling, and it showed me several classes such as:
“Slave”
“Gunslinger”
“Alchemist”
“Cultivator”
“Technomage”
“Golemancer”
“Demonic Knight”
But, what I ended up with was:
“Hero”
‘That… is amazing’
I thought of all of the possibilities that could happen when I get reincarnated… I could be a pawn for some random empire… or even a slave… I should make sure, that it doesn’t happen...
Rolling Skill
Several skills rolled past me, which caught my eye such as:
“Appraisal”
“Every language comprehension”
“Sword Mastery”
“Telekinesis”
“Book Absorption”
But, I ended up with:
“Human Control”
That sounds… incredibly good for manipulation… my specialty.
Reincarnating Now.
Randomizing Stats.
Randomizing Name.
Randomizing Body.
‘Here I go…’
0-0-0-0-0
I awoke in the middle of a throne room, in front of a fat king, two exhausted-looking mages and a beautiful princess.
“Welcome hero! We request your aid against the-”
I cut the fat king off by saying.
“[Human Control]”
And I instantly gained the memories and control of the king.
Looks like I’m going to have to fight 666 demon kings, 7 sins and the demon emperor… sounds interesting.
“What have you done to father!?”
The princess asked.
“[Human Control]”
I also gained her memories… turns out, she’s a total slut that loves the taste of a cock in her mouth… that even disturbs me.
“My king!?”
“M’lord!”
The mages shouted, as they looked at the fat king that was just paralysed… probably because I didn't tell him to do anything.
“[Human Control], [Human Control]”
I said, trying to control them. But it didn't work!?
“Human! What have you done with our friend!?”
“What did’ya do!?”
They took their hoods off, revealing an elf and a dwarf.
‘Huh, looks like I can only control humans… that’s an interesting limitation…’
I thought, as I examined their bodies.
‘The elf’s incredibly frail… but the dwarf… the dwarf has muscles… they’re quite grotesque to look at… but, it doesn’t look like they’re for show… I should take them out now before they catch on’
“King, order their execution. Princess show me around… maybe we could meet some influential nobles”
I said, as I walked away with the princess beside me.
“Yes, my lady, let us go”
The princess said, as we left.
“Yes… my queen”
The king said, with tears in his eyes.
“What do you mean Mikael!?”
“What!?”
The dwarf and elf asked.
“Guards! Kill… kill the traitorous elf and dwarf bastards!”
King Mikael shouted at the top of his lungs, as fifteen guards rushed in and pointed their swords at the elf and dwarf pair, prepared to kill.
“C-can’t you see! He’s under the control of something!”
“Look at his eyes! He’s crying! He doesn’t want to kill us!”
The duo said in their defense...
“That’s because he wouldn’t believe that his own childhood friends would betray him! Traitors!”
The head guard Julfric said, as he cut their heads off.
While this was happening, the new “hero” Cecelia Thunderborn was finding more nobles to control.
0-0-0-0-0-0
[???’s P.O.V]
Four people were sitting around a table, talking to each other. Until one of them popped their head up to say the first thing they had said in hours...
“Look at this, my friends. It looks like there’s a new demon king, in the Great Jaha Forest, should we get him on our side?~”
A man, wearing a blank mask asked a man and woman wearing white and black suits of armor. And a woman wearing a hot pink dress.
“Oh! He looks cute… I want him now… what’s his name? What’s his rank? How strong is he? Is he worthy of my love? Is he? Laughter! Tell me! Is he!?”
The woman in a hot pink dress, the Demon Queen of Love ranked 248th, spoke like a machine gun.
“His name is Damien Kruel, he’s ranked 665th, mostly because he was only born less than a month ago, and his troops so far are… a goblin hunter, a Large Fire-Venom Snake, and a Baby golem. He lost his hand today and replaced it with a wooden one. And, he will eventually be worthy of you… ha ha”
The man in the blank mask, The Demon King of Insanity, Ranked 122nd out of all Demon Kings and Queens said, happily.
“He looks interesting, does he not dear?”
“Yes, he does. I would like to fight him”
“But dear, if you touch him, he’ll die instantly”
“But dear, if your there, you’ll be able to purify him. Just like how you purified my heart”
“Awww… honey! Give me a kiss”
These two lovebirds were the Demon King of Corruption, ranked 434th and Demon Queen of Purification ranked 433rd.
“We should recruit him into the alliance… who volunteers to go?”
Insanity asked, as he waved his hands in the air, somewhat randomly.
“...”
“...”
“...”
Nobody said anything… mostly because Insanity gagged them.
“Nobody, okay. I’ll go recruit him… but it’ll be such a drag~ Meeting a new interesting person is… soooo~ Boring”
He said, as he instantly vanished. And everyone was ungagged.
“Gah! I hate that bastard!”
“I do too dear!”
The couple agreed.
“I don’t know… he has a certain charm to him… just like you two~”
Love said, with a grin.

Deeper Darker
Sci-fi dungeon crawler. Set in the far future when humanity has reached the stars and finds it is not the first to do so. Alien technology has been left behind by a long dead race. Ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples and fortified bunkers all contain artefacts and devices far in advance of what humans have been able to produce. Technology that feels more akin to magic, so powerful it can allow a single person to dominate a star system. But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures. There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder. The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright. Secrets that could irrevocably change humanity's future, or end it.

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.
