《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》Book 2 - Chapter 79:

Tamako and Sam looked towards Jen after she shut the door to Pudding’s room, and Tamako asked “what’s his story?”
Jen shook her head, saying, “I don’t know too much yet, but give me a second to tell you everything I do know. First, he still needs to stay in meditation most of the time until he increases his multi-focus skill. He hates being called Bob. Eating pudding and us calling him Pudding is the only thing that has brought him some form of peace in the last 100 years. He actually asked that we keep calling him Pudding. Action-man’s real name is Jee Hai Jowe (pronounced “G” “Hi” “Joe”), but Pudding just calls him ‘Jee’. Most importantly, he believes that his presence is placing us in great danger, and last, He appreciates our help, but wants to leave the City as soon as possible so that he can head to the Oracle Deck.”
Tamako asked, “How is he putting us in danger, and why does he want to go to the Oracle Deck?”
Jen replied mimicking Pudding’s witch-doctor Earth accent, “I be puttin Team Kelly in Great Danger. I must be leavin dis City Ms. Jen.” Jen smiled and continued, “He’s got the coolest accent. Anyway, I told him we would try to help him out of the city as soon as Slim returned. He was very agitated, but agreed to go back into meditation, so long as he could leave very soon, either with or without us.”
Jen thought Sam looked overly grumpy at being pulled into another stranger's problems, and before he could say anything, she said, “Quit looking so grumpy. I pinged Slim; he will be here soon. We'll get Pudding back to the casino where it will keep him and all of us safe.” Sam shook his head at Jen and Tamako, and said, “I’m not grumpy, it’s my gut telling me we need to get the hell out of here, now!”

Without hesitating to even ask for an explanation, Jen ordered, “I'll get Pudding ready, and let's get out of here now! Slim will catch up to us.”

As they left the rental house, Sam's luck skill didn't point towards the town and his casino, but pointed off towards the closest wild teleport pad in their region.
"Shit!" Sam exclaimed to himself, before calling out to Jen, Tamako, and Pudding.

Dropped into a Xianxia World
I think all of us have thought about what we would do in case of sudden Zombie apocolypse at least once.Acquiring a chainsaw and a team to get your back is a no brainer, but what do you do in case of sudden reincarnation?Not only that but in an all too familiar setting too...----This story should be a rather interesting journey for most, not the usual level up simulator that many Xianxia stories tend to be.I tried to create a very real personality of the Main character with quite a few flaws so don't expect him to always be right.A quick warning but 99% of the story will be held directly inside the MC's head and he tends to break the 4th wall very frequently, so don't be surprised.MATURE WARNING!This story has cursing, delicate subjects that may or may not offend people like the idea of slavery for example, descriptions of gore and death as well as erotic scenes!You have been warned!
