《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."

Level Up Hero!
In a world where the gods' gift a chosen few with great powers, Sam Shepard is among the weakest of the weak. His crappy healing ability can’t even cure minor injuries without having to drain Sam’s own life-force to do it. Hero society doesn't think he's useful, and after failing to heal those he was tasked to save, Sam couldn't help but agree. It’s why he quit. But it turns out that giving up the hero life isn’t easy, not when one’s caught in the machinations of the gods themselves. After Sam gets pulled into rescuing the hero, Thunder, he inherits a strange power from her; the training system that taught her how to become a top hero. It apparently holds the secret to leveling up one's power, a feat no one knew was possible. Not that it'll be easy to achieve... A series of challenging missions and the occasional hero lesson from the system’s creator guarantee a lot of cuts and bruises in Sam's immediate future. But at least he finally gets the chance to go from zero to hero. Oh, yeah, there's also ghastly horrors and megalomaniac super-villains to contend with on Sam’s path to becoming the symbol of hope that humanity needs.

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
