《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》Book 2 - Chapter 74
Advertisement
As he examined the object in the room, Sam finally said to Bell in disbelief, "The System casino... no, WE now have control of our own teleportation and Deck Jump pad!?"
Bell gave Sam a mental nod, and replied, "And I bet it's linked to casinos on other decks. At least those casinos that have their token upgraded to the maximum like yours."
Sam paused in his inspection of the jump pad, and asked, "What do you mean upgraded token?"
Bell replied, "I'm processing a ridiculous amount of information right now. As you know, with this amount of information, it's going to take a day or two before your conscious mind has enough time to absorb the information for instant understanding and recall purposes."
Sam frowned, "Fine, I get it, but what do you mean upgraded token."
Bell continued, "As we are both aware you didn't read the fine print when you accepted. You accepted the first option which gave the system all of your money in exchange for an upgraded token. You could have selected other options which didn't take all of your money."
Sam nodded, "So, not all tokens give access and use of a jump pad."
Bell sighed, "let's make this quick because I really need to focus on the casino manual and casino settings before we run out of time. You purchased the token with every amenity provided by the system. I don't have time to go through all of the options in relation to the other more basic tokens with you right now, but the most significant option is the access to the jump pad, access to the System Shop from your offices, and remote access to control the casino functions in real-time even when you're not on the premises. Now go explore the casino while I make sure everything is set up properly and none of the odds give any gamblers the ability to bankrupt the casino now that you own it. Ohhh, and don't touch any enchanted items. Your concrete virus may not effect the casino itself, but some of the amenities you've received are personal items that don't have a similar protection."

Sam nodded in frustration at that knowledge, and pulled gloves onto his hands to make sure he didn't destroy any of his goodies. As he continued his way through his private offices and suite, if he focused on an item for a few moments, he could bring up the related information in the casino manual. When Sam focused on the shower in his personal suite, he thought, Thank goodness it's not a personal item, and I can clean myself up. Sam then found some clean clothes in a closet, and luckily there was a bath robe and a pair of boxers that did not contain any enchantments. However, the rest of the clothing items made Sam's inner enchanter drool. The description in the manual stated that the enchantments allowed the clothing to be instantly equipped and unequipped into a storage device of his selection. I've got to break that enchantment code! That would be a game changer if I can put similar functions on other clothing, armor, or weapons! Hopefully Jen and Tamako have found a cure for this concrete virus thing. Now let's see how that bed feels, I'm freaking exhausted.
"Bell, can you handle everything if I take a nap."
Bell replied, "Got it big guy. Probably easier for me if you go to sleep. I'll wake you if there's something I can't handle."

Her father is the kingdom's only magitech substation rounds officer: an incredibly important job that only requires a single person. It's through him that the magic powering the city's tens of thousands of devices operate smoothly from his small weekly adjustments, for it's industrial automatons that do the rest of the work for him.

Going undergound into the substation system, she finds much, much more than a few simple androids busy with their menial tasks. She finds the kingdom's true form, a secret buried so, so deep, that it will stop at nothing to remain concealed.

Demonizing Matters
A high fantasy drama about a young woman who finds out a demon secret. This secret sparks a growing conflict between demons and humans. While trying to save her own life and dealing with the unexpected consequences of her actions, she falls in love with a hated demon. We follow the drama of Lita, alongside a cast of several other POV characters, as she discovers secrets (both open and purposefully hidden), makes well intentioned but sometimes disastrous decisions, and encounters prejudices and truths. Demons may be evil… or not. Humans may be good… or not. God is aloof… or not. Publishing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is my first real work! Super excited to be publishing! I don’t spend a lot of time describing gore, sex, trauma or any other type of scene that would be labeled as mature. I've labeled the story as mature in every way more because I don't quite understand the standard and don't know if I've crossed the line at all (and I'd rather be safe than get my story rejected for under labeling ;)). Mostly I hint, start the scene then interrupt/fade out, and in general let the reader know it happens but without making it too explicit. (I’d love to hear how I did on this! And if it was still entertaining/informative without being traumatizing.) This is what I prefer to read myself so that’s what I write. I’m not apologizing. ;) If I mislabeled my mature content it was by accident. And, yes, the pacing was also on purpose. Beyond that, I welcome any feedback you want to give! Enjoy the story!
