《Fortuna Sands》EXCERPT 1-11: CASINO GAMES
Advertisement
Casinos are the main source of enjoyment in FS, whether owned by players, shareholders, or even the system they serve a very vital purpose. They can vary in size from small game rooms, to great halls, luxury resorts but they are generally a place to find high level Blessed to reek various rewards from resources to even new skills. Although they are considered safer than facing cursed NPCS, they can also be very draining for resources and time.
The most common game found are known as slot machines, and while they may look like ordinary slot machines they are in fact a good test for exercising skills. A slot machine is essentially a one to one test of skill between a player and the skill of their choice reflected against them in a random hand of luck. They cost about the same as an average skill use, but with different results depending on the outcome.
First slot machines run mostly on G$, but KP and LP can also be wager against the machine, if the player wins they receive no loss of resources, but if they lose they must pay the amount wager multiplied by the success of the machine's hand. Alternatively if the player manages to get a double or septuple effective move they winners are multiplied by the success rate as well. Pass a septuple effect the player may even advance a skill or learn a new one, as this is considered the jackpot winning.
For a more practical use of skills there are other challenges such as roulette, to compete against blessed NPC in an arrangement match with different rules. In a roulette tournament, players wager on a number, the number is selected at random and counted down in a lottery spin to see who will face the NPC. Depending on the groups and order could depend on the challenges, as the first challenge can wear the blessed opponent down for the next challenger. These are considered very competitive tournaments where a player could finish an opponent before their number is called, rendering their wager void.

Then there’s the big spin, which much like the roulette wheel is a lottery of challenge but different in its approach to a player challenge. Each player will fight, but fight a random Blessed ranging from Level 1 to 13. While 7 to 12 is a small chance of coming up and 13 is rather infinitesimal, the prizes can be higher if you're unlucky enough to get them. These would usually require groups of players to take down a challenger even if it means risking all your resources to do so.
Then there are some games parlors that are unofficial, run but underground proprietors that have developed a cooperation with high level cursed NPCs. While high level curses can be talked and will not attack unless provoked this is still considered very risky as loyalties are not priority for curses as blessed often are. It is highly recommended to stay clear of underground games areas, because of their shaky and fickle nature.

D Days
Dragons were the apex predators of the magical world, feared for their strength and intelligence. They stood at the pinnacle of creation, until mankind fueled by fear and envy banded together and struck them down as the greatest threat to the continued existence of their kingdoms. Peace reigned for many years across the continent, until an accident in the Magocracy of Ken turned one of the most powerful mage lords into a power mad lich. Raising an undead army and creating a cult that worshipped him like a god, he cut a bloody swath across the continent in a bid to create his own domain. A great alliance consisting of the Kingdom of Light, the Magocracy of Ken, the Forest Kingdom of the Elves, the Mountain Kingdom of the Dwarves, and the Wild Tribes of the West rose up and the high lich was defeated, his armies destroyed, and his cult scattered. Still recovering, the world is a constant state of petty power struggles and back biting between nations. Border disputes are common and the constant fighting has taken a toll on the populations of all the nations. Of course, none of this has much bearing on the everyday life of a an ordinary young orphan in the care of a Temple run home. Or does it? *Current Word Count as of 8/4/18: 59,415 I am shooting for at least one update a week. Also, if you see any mistakes let me know and I will fix them. Cover by!*
