《Bone Sage》Chapter 8: Dice and Cards (part 1)
Advertisement
Melton and Mathias went in the Casino and what they found inside was quite fascinating. The casino was made from marble and decorated with gold and blue crystals along with some carpets and painting. The combination of those three colors was quite a site to behold. It was giving off a feeling of royalty, superiority and divinity. At the front was a reception with a elegant man in blue outfit with golden buttons and some kind of silver badge. They approached him and to get information about casino since it was first time entering it for both Melton and Mathias.
"Good evening gentleman. How may I help you" The man said in calm and kind voice
"Hello. This is our first time entering here so we would like to get some information about the games , the way people bet on them and where to go to play" Melton replied
"Oh of course out dear guests. You can head either left or right to enter the great hall where all the games are being held. It consists of two floors but there is no difference between them and the games are the same. On leftmost side of first floor is a bar and on second floor a bit deeper in there are private rooms. As of money you can use the money this country provides or in case you have different currency you can exchange it here at my desk for equal amount in. If you wonder about games we have all classics such as poker, black jack ,roulette and such."
"All right. Thank you for information"
And so Melton and Mathias went right side and entered the main hall. It was a large and pretty decorated place , far prettier than entrance. Melton was quite surprised with such a sophisticated and elegant design while Mathias was in complete awe looking and pointing at everything. The game went on and the bets started to raise. First round they increased bets to ten , next one to fifty , the third round was an entire platinum coin. Melton thought to himself that the guys he is messing round with are quite rich and that they are probably dangerous. He was not sure what to do so he decided to increase the bet to two platinum coin. Other gentleman were quite surprised but intrigued by his bold decision and decided to follow. The total money on the table amounted to 14 platinum coins and 40 gold coins and it was the time to reveal the hand. The bald man and the one in red tuxedo got straight while the one in brown got flush. Since Melton had full house he was the one who got all the money.

"Impressive kid. But you better hit it because if you keep going your luck will run out" Said the bald man. A pretty lady handed him a glass of martini which he lit with his finger and drank up. Melton felt provoked by that so he decided to stay a bit longer. They kept betting and Melton somehow managed to win most of them and obtain a profit. Up until now he amassed 100 platinum which is already a 1/5 of what he needs. After joking around how it seems he has enough luck after all ,suddenly, a large group of servants from casino gathered to make an announcement.
" Attention everyone. Owner of the casino , Demi the Dice , is about to make an appearance"
Everyone stopped betting and turned their eyes towards the path the workers set up. It seemed like that "Demi" guy was quite an important person.
"So. Who exactly is this Demi guy?" He asked guys at his table.
"WAIT!YOU DON'T KNOW?!. He is the most successful and dangerous gambler in the world. They say he never lost a single bet and not only that. I heard someone say that he is crazy strong too."
The lights went out for everywhere except the blue path that was set up. On the path was a strange man that walked to the balcony of the second floor and started speaking
"OH DARLINGS! I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ALL HERE. MY NAME IS DEMI AND I AM HERE TO MAKE A NIGHT WONDERFUL FOR EVERYONE."
Then the lights went back on and it was easier to see. The man wore white tuxedo with blue and gold embroidery. His hair was blue ,curly and long , about his shoulders length. His skin was very pale and he had both blue lipstick and eyeliner on himself which made him look like someone who looks too glamorous to the point where they resemble a clown. He started walking down toward Meltons table and said
"OH MY.IT SEEMS WE HAVE QUITE AN INTERESTING FIND HERE"

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.
