Slip Of Mind is the poem or a collection of random thoughts concerning a person's inner sentiments.

Marcus, a young immigrant, had just arrived in Los Angeles when he became a target of campus extortion due to his Asian identity. His uncle Raymond rescued him with extraordinary poker skills, only to uncover a shocking secret: a $50,000 gang debt. To save his mother’s restaurant, Marcus, who had no poker experience at all, was forced to break into an underground casino in Chinatown. There, he unexpectedly allied with Claire, the daughter of a missing FBI agent—she needed to find her father, and he needed to repay the debt, thus beginning a life-or-death partnership. Guided by Raymond’s cheating techniques and equipped with Claire’s agent notes, Marcus transformed from a math prodigy into a poker ace. Leveraging combinatorial probability analysis and fancy card-switching tricks, he navigated between casinos and campus, taking on powerful foes like Wolf (the loan-sharking gang leader), Chen (a key member of a transnational criminal group), and Viktor (a Russian mafia member). They teamed up to raid money laundering warehouses, unravel the conspiracy of drugs hidden in poker chips, and outwit double agents. Amidst gunfights and high-stakes poker games, they exposed an underground criminal network spanning Los Angeles and New York. From Los Angeles’ Chinatown to Las Vegas casinos and New York’s underground tournaments, Marcus and his friends clung to justice amid deception and betrayal, protecting their families on the edge of life and death. When the shadow of the mastermind “The Phantom” loomed and warnings arrived via anonymous emails, this survival game—spanning two seasons—evolved from repaying a debt to an ultimate showdown against a transnational syndicate. The teenager’s growth, the bond between friends, and the battle between good and evil reach a fever pitch in every poker game, leaving a suspenseful cliffhanger for what’s to come.

The most important thing for a qualified killer was amazing killing skills! However, Shi Yu was an exception. He was a killer, but he couldn't even hold a gun steadily. He couldn't even fight. That's right. He was not a qualified killer. You could say that he was a failure of a killer! Shi Yu was dejected and felt that not even God wanted him to be a killer. However, he decided to carry on to finish his father's wishes. Then one day, he got hold of a wristwatch and everything changed! "Ding! The Divine Weapon System has been activated..." "Selecting your first weapon..." "Ding! Selection Success! Your first weapon- poker cards!" "Ding! Congratulations, you are now skilled at poker cards. You can now make them fly!" The first task he received after receiving this skill had surprised Shi Yu. The ordinary poker card managed to cut the surveillance fly buzzing around in the air into two. This was a fly camera that was as nimble as a real fly! The doors to a new world opened before Shi Yu. This was the first time he realized that poker cards could be so dangerous!

Betrayed by her pack. Sold by her husband. Poisoned since birth. "Julian, your scent reeks of fear, and your credit just bled out on the floor. Fold." I was the "Dud" of the Silver-Moon Pack—a wolf who couldn’t shift and a Luna who couldn't lead. My husband, Julian, hated the very sight of me. He blamed my "weakness" for his failing pack and his bad luck. But I never imagined he would do the unthinkable. "I need a stake," Julian muttered, his eyes bloodshot. "One more hand. Five million. If you win... you take her." With those words, my life was tossed onto the table like a cheap plastic chip. Silas Thorne, the lethal High Alpha of the Shadow-Crest, didn’t even blink. He flipped his cards—a Royal Flush—and just like that, I was no longer a wife. I was a debt. "You aren't a Luna, Seraphina. You’re an asset," Silas said, his voice cold as ice. "And I always collect my debts." I expected Silas to be my executioner. I expected him to break what was left of my spirit. But as he drags me into his dark kingdom, the truth begins to surface: My wolf isn't weak. She’s been poisoned. For twenty years, my pack fed me "medicine" that was actually a sedative to keep me from shifting. They didn't save me as a stray pup; they stole me from a bloodline they were terrified of. Now, the poison is fading, my true wolf is waking up, and the man who "bought" me is watching me with a hunger that feels like a mate-bond I was never supposed to have. Julian sold me to save his skin. Now, I’m going back to show him exactly what he lost. Book One

I didn't mean to time travel, especially not to a place like this! But I think I have to stay, at least a little while longer. If I want to keep living that is. ----- When Emily Long opened up the box of her late grandmother's heirlooms she didn't expect much. The contents were surprisingly nice antiques, especially a strangely beautiful compact mirror. The real surprise however was traveling back in time with them. Even worse, she's landed herself in the walled city of a famous pleasure town. A place where most normal women cannot enter unless they're a resident. That means only one thing in this ancient times red light district. She could just go back through the mirror and forget this ever happened. If only it weren't for the blood like messages written in lipstick counting down to her death. Now she has to go back and forth completing vague quests until the cursed family mirror is satisfied. Along the way she can't help but get attached to an ill fated courtesan with a face eerily similar to her own. Great great great great grandmother? Is that you? Is that even enough greats? ----- Warning: sensitive topic regarding the setting. It will be placed in a brothel(s) & red light district and such related topics will come up.
