《The Gambling Demon King is full of Misfortune》Chapter 7
Advertisement
I’m in the streets of... some shithole of a city.
I lost my wife, my kids, my job and eventually my house.
My wife cheated on me with several men and when I caught her… she filed for divorce.
She got the kids.
Then, my boss fired me… it turns out that he was also fucking my wife.
Then, since I didn’t have any money to pay for rent, I lost my house too. So, I became homeless.
Now, I’m just sitting in the streets, with a bottle of vodka and a ten dollar bill in my hand.
“I have nothing to live for… you know what… fuck it, I have nothing to lose... nothing to gain... I may as well just end it here”
I said, as I got up and walked onto the street.
The truck driver didn’t even see me. That was how insignificant to the world I was.
He ran me over, killing me instantly. But, not painlessly.

“AAAAARGH!!!!”
I shouted, as I woke up from my nightmare.
“It was just a dream… it’s not going to happen again… not again… alright then, back to training!”
I said, with a smile on my face as I grabbed the short sword, walked up to a tree and started slashing at it.
“This is how I’m going to get a new skill! Maybe it’ll be a Slash skill or something similar!”
I said with a grin on my face.
I slashed the tree around a thousand times, until several screens popped up before me.

“Holy shit, I’m actually even more powerful… let’s see… I have the dexterity of an average person and… the will of… a child? Are you shitting me!? Fuck that! Back to the tree!”
I shouted in anger, as I continued to slash at the tree.
After five hours I finally got a few screens to pop up.

“Awesome! I’m even better at wielding a sword! This is great… now, to hunt!”
I said with a smile on my face as I walked into the forest.
After an hour of not finding anything, I saw a large beast.
It’s an ogre!
“Me and my fucking luck!!!”
I shouted, causing the ogre to look my way.
“Oh shit!”
I shouted, again as I swung my shortsword at it and prepared to use my club.
“Die, motherfucker!”
I shouted as I hit it in the head with the club, which did nothing.
Actually… that was wrong, it did something… it angered it.
“ROOOAR!!!”
The ogre roared in rage as it swung its club at me.

“Fuck!”
I shouted as I dodged the club and hit it in the leg with my club and stabbed it with the shortsword.
“GRAH!!!”
It shouted in pain as it tried to crush me with its fat leg.
“Fuck off ya bastard!”
I shouted, as I sliced one of its toes off.
“GRAH! GRAH!!!”
It shouted, as it tried to crush me using its club.
I responded by climbing on it, all the way to its face and headbutted it, using my horns to my advantage.
“Ha ha! How do you like that! Getting stabbed by my horns!”
I shouted with a maniacal grin on my face as I stabbed it in the ear using my shortsword, killing it.
“Oh fuck!”
I shouted as it began to fall, with me on it!
“Fuck… that hurts…”
I said, as I tried to push the dead ogre's arm off of me before other predators come to eat its corpse.
It didn't work. I’m stuck.
“Get… off of… me!”
I shouted, as I pushed the arm, slightly.
“Alright! I can do this! I have the strength of four men! I can do this!”
I hyped myself up, as I… eventually pushed the ogre's arm off of me and limped my way back to camp.
“Fuck… oh god that hurts”
I said as I took a look at my leg.
“Oh god… that… that doesn’t look good”
My leg was broken, the bone was sticking out of it.
“I’m so fucked…”
I said as I limped my way onto my bed.
“System…”
I said.
Yes?
“Lottery… please”
Rolling.
“First aid kit”
“Healing Magic”
“Doctor”
“Cast”
“Necromancy”
“Bone Magic”
I ended up with… Healing (one time use)
“I… this… I- I’m actually lucky? Oh god! Thank you system! I really needed this!”
I said, as I used it on my leg.
“Huh? AAAAAAARGH!!!”
I shouted in agony
“Kill! Me!!!”
I shouted as my leg was consumed by the incredible pain.
“AAAAARGH!!!”
I screamed in pain, for what felt like hours. Until the pain suddenly went away.
“Wha- what was that!? System! How long did that take!?”
I asked.
Exactly five minutes.
“F- five minutes!? It felt like five hours!”
I shouted.
…The system simply ignored me.
“Right… okay… looks like I have to go back out to actually find food!”
I said, as I went back into the forest and instantly found a wolf!
“Fuck you! Why weren’t you here a few hours ago!?”
I shouted as I hit it on the head using my club multiple times, killing it.
I swiftly returned to camp to cook the wolf.
“Still tastes like shit”
I said, as I kept on eating it, along with the last piece of bread which I got a couple of days ago.
As I was eating, a few screen appeared before me.
2000 EXP
250 EXP
21/50
“2000 EXP? Holy shit… alright then, let’s see how much more EXP I have to get to level up… [Status]”
I said.

“Wait… fuck! Shit! I forgot about the hidden mission! I was so caught up in my new sword. Fuck, I should make the lost time up tomorrow by hunting! But… before that… I should go sleep”
I said as I went to bed.

Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her.

For five years, I'd been slowly falling into depression and no one noticed.Then of course, I turned out to be Asher's mate and he rejected me and if that wasn't enough, he banished me from my home in Moonblood pack.

And I was going to make sure no one went through anything like I did.Now, almost two years later, I'm returning to Moonblood pack, even though it could mean death since I was banished.But I'm not alone.Things have changed. Before, I could barely kill a spider. Now, I kill anyone who has it coming, like those abusive assholes. Before, my biggest worry was whether I could make it through the day without getting hurt.
