《The Gambling Demon King is full of Misfortune》Chapter 3
Advertisement
I woke up, the sun blinding me.
I was covered in leaves, grass and… bugs… ew.
“Gah! Get the hell off of me you bloody insects!”
I shouted as I stood up as quickly as I could and patted myself down.
I then noticed a glaring problem.
I have no clothes.
I… have no clothes… I’ve been running around naked for an entire day… How… how am I not dying from hypothermia?
How did the wolves not get me!?
And.. How did I not notice!?
“System… can I use the lottery, to get some clothes?”
I asked.
You can, but I would not recommend it.
“Why not?”
The chance of actually getting what you want are extremely slim.
“That is a good point… but I really need some clothes… use the lottery, system”
I said in a commanding tone.
Certainly.
Rolling
“Mithril Sword”
“Rubber Duck”
“Wooden Dagger”
“Knight”
“Steel Halberd”
“Dwarven Warhammer”
“Pet Rock”
“Twin Dragon Daggers”
“Chainmail”
“Steel Chestplate”
I ended up with… “Rags”
It was literally a bunch of rags…
“What the fuck do I do with this?”
I asked.
I suggest fashioning some of the rags into clothing and using some more to make a blanket and keeping the rest of the rags as make-shift slings and bandages.
“I- you have a point… okay, I’ll do that… but, how could I turn the rags into clothes?!”
I suggest using a sharp rock.
I stared blankly at the screen for a moment, then I got up and started looking for a sharp rock while mumbling about the annoying bluntness of the system.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
It took a while, but I finally found a rock sharp enough to cut something with.
So, I cut some of the various rags into a shirt, two pairs of pants, underwear, and socks.

“Okay… this feels kind of uncomfortable, but… it’s better than being completely naked”
I said as I started to make a blanket out of one of the rags and a pillow using a bunch of grass and some more rags… I failed at making the pillow because I didn’t have any sewing tools… but, at least I have a blanket and clothes.
“So… what do I do now?”
I asked myself.
I suggest hunting.
“Gah! Fuck, I almost forgot about you! And I’m not even hungry!”
I shouted.
*Growl*
…
“Hunting it is!”
I said as I grabbed the “Pet Rock”, some rags and a stick to make a makeshift club.
“Time to get some food!”
I said as I walked away from my… camp.
It took an hour or two, but I finally found an animal. More specifically, a rabbit.
“Well, better than nothing”
I said, as I pounced on the innocent little bunny and brutally bashed its head in.
After a few seconds, the rabbit was dead and I took the rabbit's corpse back to my “camp”.
I started a fire, put the rabbit on a few sticks above it and started to cook it.
“I don’t know much about cooking rabbit… goddamn, I hope I’m doing this correctly…”
I said to myself as I cooked the rabbit, whole.
While it was cooking, I saw a screen pop up.
11/50
50 EXP
“Wait, what?... it’s that… challenge thing… does it mean I have to kill 50 animals? Is it that easy?”
I asked myself, but I obviously got no answer.
“Well, it’s a possible theory… but, It couldn’t be that… or could it… I should test it out… after I eat”
I said as I started to eat the rabbit.
“This… isn’t as bad as I thought… not as good as I hoped…”

I muttered as I kept on eating.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
I stayed up all night thinking of possible theories on what the “challenge” is... I came up with a somewhat logical conclusion… two actually.
1: If I kill something I get a “point”
And 2: If I kill something using the “pet rock” I get a “point”
I had killed everything with the “pet rock”, so I’m going to go hunting again, but I’m not going to use the “pet rock”.
It took a few hours, but I found another rabbit, snuck up on it and snapped its neck.
I went back to camp, waited a little while and a screen popped up.
50 EXP.
I didn’t get a “point”, now I know, it’s the “pet rock” that’s doing this… good to know.
I went to sleep in comfort, that night.

The Successor
The Immortal God Emperor is dead...yet his Successor will one day arise. The worlds had long moved on from the greatest Cultivator of all time. The things that had been achieved and the advances made in the Immortal God Emperor's absence were nothing to turn one's nose up at. And yet, something was always missing. Because Cultivators, no matter the goals they pursue, always bow to the greater power. They seek it, they covet it for themselves, and they serve it with reverence. Shan Kai Lan was born into such a world. Born to two herb farmers whose cultivation did not surpass the Foundation Realm, yet who loved their son more than anything. Kai Lan was a child blessed by the Spiritual Plain, far more gifted and more intelligent than others his age. Yet the more profound his achievements, the greater the likelihood that his happy, peaceful life would be trampled on by those who desired his potential for themselves. The question of Kai Lan's journey becomes not whether he will reach the highest peak of cultivation, but what he will be forced to do to keep his young Clan, and the happiness it provides, at peace. Note to Reader: I am not of an Asian background, but this work is heavily influenced by Eastern stories and concepts. In saying that, it is an INFLUENCE only. Keep in mind that this is a fantasy work, and any butchering of names, concepts or cultural objects/places/subjects are not meant in any way to offend. With that in mind, Happy Reading! - Jelim
