“What is this garbage luck!” Alexander complained.
“Shall I top up your re-roll again?” Chibi Cillian politely asked.
“Give me the [Fifty Rerolls]!” Alexander was too deep to pull out now.

As his finger interacted with the button, a golden glow emanated out from the silhouette. It swirled around for a while before dissipating.

“WOHHHHHHHHH!”
“BLOODY HELL!”
“FINALLY!” Cillian cheered out loud whilst running around.
“Congratulation, you unlocked the 4th rarest character in the game.”
The dark silhouette morphed into a grotesque, monstrous humanoid. Its multiple eyes and skin lanced with pores and rots observed Alexander in disgust. Its arms were disproportionate and many, with one holding on to a twisted fleshy whip.
“Ew, what is that?” Looking at the creature alone made Alexander nauseous.
“Hey! Don’t say that about them, alright!” Chibi Cillian vehemently responded. “They are a very sad sub-species with their distinctive history.”
“Nope. Nope. Nope.”
Not wanting to even look at the vile creature for another second, Alexander noped out of there.

“What kind of luck is this!” Alexander looked at the Vorvolakas in front of him. Its traits were exceptional. However, he was no longer satisfied with such lowly species.

The dark silhouette morphed into a beautiful male elf. With majestic golden eyes, silky golden hair and smooth pale skin, the elf stood arrogant against the world below. Unlike its hubristic demeanour, the weapons and clothing it bore were soddies at best.
The first sword, on its back, was a typical longsword called Spellblade. However, the weapon's edge was dulled. Half of its blade was gone. It barely had a grip left.
The second short sword, called Shortsword, fared a bit better. At least two-thirds of its blade remained. However, its edge was so blunt that one could use it as a club.
Alexander didn’t cheer this time. He scanned through the character traits and frowned.
[Children of Neasdocs] - Synchronise with the star of Neasdocs to recall the sagas of old.
[Normal Faith] - Increase your faith gain, faith actualisation and reduce the consumption of faith spells.
“What is Neasdocs?” Alexander asked
“It’s one of the eight Elven stars. It’s the star of faith.”

“Fuck! Isn’t this just a cleric build.” Alexander complained and immediately aimed for the re-roll button.
*Click* *Click* *Click*
Noticing that he had no more reroll left, he requested Chibi Cillian to top up for him.
“Drop me another top-up, Chibi Cillian!”
However, the greedy Chibi Cillian never replied this time.
“Hello, hey! Could you top up for me?” Alexander turned back and looked at the Chibi.
However, what he saw was a face full of various emotions.
***
After a while, Chibi Cillian sighed. Rubbing his temples, he moved his hand to his back.
His eyes gazed straight at Alexander.
“I am happy that I won the bet against Ellie. However, I am also disappointed that you have not realised it yet.”
Although confused, Alexander remained silent and continued listening. He realised that this was some test his brother had designed for him, and he just failed it.
“This place, this still starry sky, the tranquil music, even me being here giving you suggestions, everything was a trap,” Chibi Cillian pointed around him.
Alexander remained silent, not figuring everything out yet.
“You have spent more than £300 in less than half an hour.”
Finally, Alexander realised the mess he was in.
“Look like you have figured it out already.” Chibi nodded in satisfaction.
“Yes, this is a casino trap. It was designed to isolate players from the outside world. Hence, they will spend more money.”
“In this place, there are only you, me and the re-roll button,” he pointed at Alexander, himself and the information list.
“With me giving you gentle coaxing, as soon you click the re-roll button, you won’t stop until you run out of money.”
With Chibi Cillian's focus remained on the information list, he continued.
“This re-roll system is also rigged. You will never win!”
“It’s in the probability, brother!”
Surprised by Chibi Cillian's words, Alexander tried to internalise the probability.
“Its mechanics is the same as a slot machine.”
“However, a slot machine only requires you to spin 3 of the same to win the jackpot.”
“Here, you have to spin 5 to win the same jackpot. Species, Culture, Traits, Affinity and Equipment.”
“A single wrong category could jeopardise your winning, forcing you to re-roll everything again.”
“Even the carried-over points are just false progression. Like showing a dehydrated man a picture of a mirage. Everything is so close yet so far.”
Chibi Cillian then turned his gaze around toward Alexander. He spoke in a gentle voice.
“Main body meticulously designed this system to draw out as much money as possible.”
“After all, our family didn’t get this rich from being nice.”
Chibi Cillian glided towards Alexander and patted him on his head.
“You are the Eliot Family patriarch now. You have to use that mind a bit more, alright, kiddo! Sometimes the safest place is the most dangerous as it lowers our defence.”
Although, the tiny hand could hardly be felt. Alexander still felt the same warmth from his brother. He reflectively responded.
“Yes, brother!”
