《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.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
