《Reverse world》Chapter 79 – Cards
Advertisement
A four of clubs, a six of hearts, a nine of hearts, a ten of diamonds, and a queen of diamonds. What a pitiful hand. He could try to change the four and six and hope to get something that could help complete the rest of his cards. He checked on his phone and wasn't sure if he should aim for a straight or a flush in this situation. He could count the number of times he had played the game on one hand and it was always very casual, at that. He was pretty much a novice and he could see the other novices also checking on their phones, trying to figure out the worth of their cards. On the other hand, the "experts" had only given a quick look at what they had and waited calmly for the rest to be ready.
When all of them were ready, their Grandma started distributing the cards to whoever requested them. Benjamin didn't pay much attention to who was requesting how many cards, only focusing on asking two for himself, discarding his four and six. Two of spades and four of hearts. He felt sad just looking at his hand. He had discarded a four just to get another one. Not only did he not get any combination, but his highest card was also a simple queen.
It was time to show their hands. Some had pairs and one had a double pair. It was unexpected but his hand wasn't the worst and Grace had an even more terrible hand than him, with disparate cards and her highest one being a ten.
"I will remove a sock."
She removed it and put it on the ground, the second round starting immediately. Benjamin had a decent hand this time, one pair from the start. He choose to discard everything else and he managed to get three of a kind. He checked his phone and found out that it was rarer than the double pair, making it the highest ranking hand so far. He was pretty safe with this. Once everyone showed their hands, Chloe was the one who lost and chose to remove a sock this time.

A few rounds later, he only managed to get a hand similar to what Grace had gotten on the first round and was the one who had to remove a piece of clothing. Of course, he choose to remove a sock too, and while doing so he noticed some of his sisters looking at him, some intensively, some with disappointment.
The game continued. It relied more on luck than other variations of poker since there was no bluffing involved and everyone was relatively on the same level, the three confident ones doing barely better than the rest. Finally, Olivia lost one game too much. Without any socks left to remove, she had to choose to part with either her T-shirt or her pants. Red-faced, she choose to remove her T-shirt, exposing her plain bra which was supporting her cute middle-sized breasts. At this point, their grandmother couldn't help leaving a comment.
"Hehe, now it's getting interesting."
The next one who had to get loose of her top was Chloe, exposing her small chest and sports bra. She didn't really need to wear one but it apparently made girls feel more like adults and more attractive, at least in their minds. Eventually, what should happen occurred and it was Benjamin's time to have a losing hand and no more socks to remove. His mother immediately tried to protect him.
"You don't have to do it if you don't want to, dear."
This remark wasn't so well received by some of the other participants.
"What? No way, that would be unfair!"
"I agree with Chloe."
"You're right, I was the one who chose to play, fully aware of the rules. Don't worry, Mom, It's nothing big and we are within the family."
He started removing his top and he could feel six intense gazes on him. As soon as he was topless, the girls let out sighs of amazement and some barely audible whispers.

"Wow."
"Nice."
"Sexy."
Some of them had already seen everything before but that didn't stop the six of them to react pretty much in the same manner, namely a very focused stare toward his bare chest. He let them check him for a moment before mentioning.
"Should we go on?"
Startled, they removed their gaze from him and the game continued, not without them sending glances at him from time to time. After a few minutes, he could see a hint of excitement in their eyes as they took a peek at him whenever they thought they wouldn't get caught. As they carried on with the game, their grandmother was the one who was in the best state, without any socks but with the rest of her clothes on. The other girls had all lost their tops and began taking off their bras. Soon enough, Benjamin was surrounded by exposed boobs, a quite pleasant view indeed. While some of them had started squirming after looking at his bare torso, he could also feel himself slowly reacting to the situation, his member twitching a bit and hardening every time more skin was being revealed.
A little later, he ended up having a really bad hand, a misfortune which rejoiced the females in the room. Even his mother and Nova, who were initially against the whole thing, were now looking forward to him stripping, a fact which he found funny.
He had the disadvantage of having one less piece of clothing compared to them since they all were wearing a bra. Left with no other choice, he stood up and took his pants off, exposing his underwear, the bulge of his already hard cock clearly visible through the cloth. The sight made the girls gasp in appreciation, the breathing of all the women accelerating. They didn't even try to be discrete now, six gazes fully focusing on his crotch, their faces red with excitation. He had to clear his throat noisily for their eyes to barely leave his groin, and the game resumed one more time.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 91Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
8 116Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
