The Aeternus Universe

The year of humanity is 2415, and DDVR and VRMMORPG's are commonplace now. It's extremely hard for a new game to come out and be successful. The greats of these genres have ruled for a few centuries now. A new game is releasing soon, and it has promise to be one of those. The Aeternus Universe. A Virtual Reality game has what you would expect from a game in this genre. However, some things make it special. One of those being the exploration and adventure through galaxies and The Aeternus Universe. Other games in this genre take it to fantasy and medieval times. This is set in a universe where there are super advanced technologies, spaceships, and Mecha suits—lost Alien tech ready to be found and claimed. Some of these all come together. The story starts 2 days before the release of the game, and with our protagonist—a 20-year-old male by the name of Scott Autumn. He is one of the few jumping from the current major game to this one. Seeing its potential for greatness and chance to be one of the biggest games on the market.

{The story on P-a-t-r-e-o-n is at 110+ chapters.}

I see the angry look of this guy when he thinks about Paulie. "I'm Aaron. You should know my name since we are going to be working together." I nod my head and tell him mine. "I'm going to cut right to the chase. Paulie runs a blackjack exclusive Casino, and it's taking a substantial amount of business from me." I can see where this is going. "I want you to break his casino's bank. You can keep the winning's on top of the extra 4.4 million credits I'm going to pay you." This deal is turning out better and better.

We finish talking and planning out some contingency plans. I won't need them. After a long conversation, I leave the Casino and make my way towards Paulie's. I can break his bank playing blackjack in just a few hours. However, I now know that Paulie is a brutal guy when it comes to finding winners at blackjack. The conversation with Aaron was very enlightening, and if I want this to succeed. I'll need to be smart. If I'm to win everything he has in a single go, it needs to be quick. They'll be watching big winners, and a Casino's worth varies between the games it has.

Since I already have 4.4 million, I can use that right from the start. Double it over and over. Before 3 minutes pass, I'll already have won everything in his bank. I see his Casino up ahead, and I make my way to it. I walk in and head for a blackjack table that's empty. Playing against the dealer is going to the most beneficial for me. It means he'll have more cards to bust on. I sit down at the table, and the alien that looks like a lizard waits for me to put down my bet. I start out with a couple thousand credits, just so I can start a count of the cards.

After about 15 minutes, I already have everything I need to know to start betting big. I lay down my 4.4 million and I double it. He deals again, and I can see how nervous the dealer is. I double by 8.8 million to 17.6 million. In the span of 40 seconds, I've already made 13.2 million. The dealer's hands are shaking as he deals again, I already know what I'm getting. I double my total again. I'm now sitting at a pretty 35.2 million credits. The way these Casinos work is the credit funds for the dealers is taken right from the bank of the vault.

I can keep winning and winning as fast as I am, and I can have all the credits at this Casino before they even know it's all gone. I double my total money again and I'm now at 70.4 million credits. The exact value in the bank is somewhere around 270 million, so 2 more hands, and I'll have everything. I double again and I've won 140.8 million credits. The dealer's face is pale, but he does his job and deals the cards. I double my winnings at I only get 272.4 million credits. I should've gotten 281.6 million. I've broken the bank. I put the 272.4 million credits into my inventory.

A credit looks like a raffle ticket except for metal, so they digitize it when you have a large amount like this. There are 3 separate cases filled with digitized credits. I stand up, thank the dealer, and walk out. I did that all in the course of a minute. They don't even know what hit them. I make my way back to Aaron's and I walk in. I wasn't gone for more than 25 minutes. He'll be pleasantly surprised. I look at the goon that beat me up, and he shakes his head thinking I failed. He takes me to the back. Aaron sees me. "Too hard for you?" I shake my head and take the cases out of my inventory and show him.

He stands up with disbelief on his face, and he laughs as he looks at them. I put them all back in my inventory just so he doesn't get any bright ideas. "You are one lucky son of a bitch kid. I'll have more business in about two weeks. You down for it?" I shake my head, I have plans for Durado. He sighs and understands, he hands me my 4.4 million. I leave and check my new credit balance. I want to see the big number.
