Ch 61 – Gambling

After looking around the place, my S rank luck took place again, and saw a guy selling a piece of paper that preaches the nine Reincarnates.

After taking it for free, I look at the flyer? Pamphlet? I don't know, I just read it with curiosity to see what it is about.

So there are nine reincarnates, and they all have a unique ability that isn't really known, they just have a special ability to them.

Like the hero Kilt, unnatural prowess with the sword. Or Louis Crawford, a master of magic.

After seeing that I can't really gain any data on them except for their feats and general knowledge about them, I crumpled the paper and pocketed it inside my pocket while thinking about some stuff.

While deep in thought, I entered my room with a contemplating look and plop down on my bed.

How will I decide my path in this world? Money is nice but staying in this low-level town is bad for my growth, so I should head over to the royal capital that is surprisingly near this town, so this should be a medium-level town in gamer terms.

Hmm, do I risk it all and head over there with my 5 silver coins? Wait! I could gamble!

After the thought of gambling donned on my mind along with my S rank luck, I realize the potential the royal capital has and knew what to do in an instant.

"Sayonara my 5 silver coined room, gambling awaits me in the capital" and with that, I got out of my room and out of the town, entered the wide-open field where no other people was inside, and crouch down on the ground, preparing to take into a fast sprint so I could train my Endurance which is like my stamina, defense and more along with Agility, which is just how fast, agile, and other stuff.

And with my muscles tensing up, the world started to slow down in my vision as I accelerated myself and with a sonic boom, I took off at speeds faster than the speed of sound itself and rushed towards the capital while concealing my presence by bending space around me.

I normally wouldn't do this but I don't really care about the rules I set up right now, I'm a lost child right now so fuck my game rules, I want to make a solid footing first and make new game rules along the way.

And after a few seconds or for me a few hours because that is how time acceleration works, I was coated in so much sweat and my body felt weak but the capital was finally in sight along with the grand view of carriages, flying mounts rode on by cool looking people wearing armor, mages flying in the sky and more that shows how grand the capital was.

With big grand houses made, giant Inns and restaurants, mansions sprawled about, along with a giant school in the distance, probably the Royal Academy or something, and that was my vision far away from the capital itself.

So with that desperate sprint of mine without the assistance of any of my overpowered quirks, I lied down on the ground in accelerated time and just lay there for a couple of minutes and felt my legs aching, but this should help my skills grow so sadge for me I guess, I never realize how dependent I became on my quirks and this is actually a really fun experience.

With a heave, I stood up with no time passing at all because I am in accelerated time, reverted back my clothes to a clean state, and turned off my accelerated time thingy.

And as time went back to normal for me, I slowly walked towards the capital with steady breaths because of my above-average physique because I always work out every week so that also helps.

After walking towards the entrance, the guards saw my badge and let me in without a problem because duh, adventurers have their perks, and also because of my S rank Luck and A rank Charisma, I probably would have paid a fee if not for those skills.

"Uwah," I said under my breath as I am finally inside the capital itself and saw how grand the view was, with fountains, attractions, and it was just so… breathtaking!

But the view doesn't matter because I can smell it!

The smell of money!

I instantly looked around the capital like a country bumpkin but the people didn't mind because of my looks and after looking around for a while, I found it, with the name literally being the Royal Casino.

So with my head held high, I said hello to the guards standing in front of the entrance with them nodding in response and entered the casino without a second thought.

"Hello, there sir," said a lady wearing some revealing black clothes but I didn't care and went straight to the point.

"Is there a thing called Blackjack here?" I asked because haha! Fools! I know how card counting works motherfuckers! I spent tons of hours mastering that skill in my free time with how ginormous my brain is!

"Oh yes sir, we indeed have the game, do you want to play it with others? The lowest bet is 10 silver coins" said the lady with a smile as I instantly summoned 5 extra silver coins in pockets.

FUCK! These 10 silver coins ain't gonna do shit with my small edge over the house! WAIT! I have S rank luck! What do I have to worry about!

After calming down, I graciously nodded to the girl and entered the grand casino filled with tons of tables and games I could pick on, and decided to just play some random games base on what I felt like playing.

So with that, I dove deep inside the gambling lands of money and in just a few hours, my net worth became 100 gold and I felt my luck slowly getting stronger over time that just puts more of an incentive to gamble, and because of my Charisma and Luck, no mishaps happened towards me and just like that, I got out of the casino a hundred gold richer.

"Wooh!" I said with a cheer while looking at my pocket full of coins and chuckled with a wide grin, with this amount, I could probably buy a small house already with this amount.

And I did just that, I looked around the capital while walking by some interesting places and found a desperate guy luckily selling his house for 50 gold, far from the average 100 gold house and the size is above average, has two floors and just overall quite good, but it's quite run down in some places but I could fix it.

So with that, I now officially own this house after doing some paperwork and looking around the house and I could probably fix it in a few hours tomorrow.

With the house now set, I have a few more hours left till night and went to the marketplace and bought a bed that was high quality so 1 gold, some cooking appliances that cost me 50 silver, some new lights that were made with magic, and stuff that I needed inside the house.

And with that, I am down to 47 gold.

I then hired some people to move the bed and appliances back home and it cost me around 30 silver because of how much was needed to move including the large bed but finally, after some grueling hours, I could now live inside my new house comfortably beside the obvious renovations needed.

"Finally!" I said while and looked around my new room that was quite comfy as the temperature was set to cold with the help of a little magic device called Temperature Controller that cost me 1 gold but it was worth it, I don't even need to charge it or anything, it will just suck the mana in the air for free.

I then walked towards the window with a large grin at how much I earned in just a few hours and contemplated if I make a custom class base on money like I could sacrifice money for luck but my smile halted in surprise at the person I saw just outside my window.

"THE NTR GUY!?" I said in shock as I saw the guy that got cucked by Louis Crawford himself was standing in front of me alive and well, no bruises or whatever.

"Hmm, something is amiss, a revenge story? Is he gonna do something with the help of the girl that rescued him?" I asked in surprise and without any hesitation, I rush downstairs, activated my B rank Stealth and tailed him from behind.

And as I followed him, I saw that we were going towards the large mansion where guys could watch some strippers? I don't really know the right term, they're like idols but… fewer clothes? It's like a really weird otherworld thing/culture and I don't really know how it works.

And as I watch him enter the large doors, I plop down to the ground and begged for Luck to take its effect and as if Lady Luck herself heard my plead, I manage to crawl through two fucking people that was guarding the doors while I was literally just beside them on the ground.

And the moment I entered the large room where the party is happening with the singers dancing and doing some normal stripper stuff, I saw him, I saw.

LOUIS CRAWFORD!?

AN: This is 1612 words, you're welcome.

Do you guys actually want to see my Twatter? Like I could announce it if you want to.

The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
