《{WICKED GAMES} Mitsuya x Fem!Reader》twenty three

Your brother sits you down on the back of his motorcycle, stuffs a helmet over your head roughly, and drives away from that expensive mansion of his. Only a few minutes later you arrive at another huge building, a gambling hall.
He casually takes off your helmet for you and tosses it carelessly onto the bike before getting up and walking off. "C'mon," he calls as he stops and waits for you by the large entrance doors.
He waits as you run up and link arms with him. He then casually leads you inside, walking right past all of the staff as though they were completely invisible until he reaches the back. There, he slides open the door and reveals a small, dimly lit room with an oval-shaped table in the center. Around it sits six men that you've never seen before. You'd definitely remember meeting them, they are seriously scary looking.
Koko smirks when he sees them. "Yo! Mind if we jump in?" he asks.
"Sure," the man with short, lavender hair shrugs.
Koko takes a seat and pulls out the chair beside him to his left for you. The six others watch as you take the seat beside him and sit rather close.
"Who's the chick?" the man with pink hair and scars on either corner of his mouth questions rather loudly.
"My little sister. She's pretty unlucky and quite bad at card games. Mind if she joins?" he hums.
"Yeah, sure thing," the group laughs at the easy cash cow they begin to believe you are. "What'd you have in mind, Kokonoi?"
"How 'bout pig?" he smirks.
"Ya mean like the kid's game?" a ginormous man scoffs.
"Makes sense since I've got my kid sister here with me," Koko shrugs. "As I've said she's not very good with games so at least this one won't be too hard for her."
Damn, that jerk is really milking this. I'm only one year younger goddammit!
Another man with a scar over his left eye rakes in your figure. "Fine," he shrugs, "I'm in."
"What do ya think, Ran?" a man with long, purple hair who looks quite similar to the man sitting beside him asks.
"Sure," Ran shrugs. "I'll play along."
The monstrously-sized man as well as the quiet one beside you nod in agreement as well. That only leaves the pink-haired male sitting across from you.
"Alright," he smirks. "Go on then."
"Great, make sure you guys don't go too rough on her, okay?" Koko grins, eliciting a laugh from the others.
"Think we can trust this girl?" the man beside you with a large scar wrapping around his face wonders aloud.

"She looks fun so why not?" the pink-haired man beams.
Koko then suddenly slaps down two hundred thousand yen on the middle of the table. "She's good for two hundred K," he explains. "You assholes okay with that?"
Your eyes widen at the money sitting in the middle of the table. If you weren't around your brother, you might have half a mind to just slide it right off the table and run away. There's no chance in hell you can win this game anyway.
As each one of them slaps down equal amounts of the cash before you, your eyes nearly bug out of your head. Koko better have a good plan...
"Alright," the huge man calls to your brother as he tosses him a deck of cards. "You deal."
"Yeah, sure," Koko smiles as he picks up the cards from the table.
You watch as he shuffles the deck and then hands cards out one at a time to each player around the table. You pick up your cards as you receive them, somewhat recalling the rules of the game. You remember you used to play Pig all of the time with Koko, Inupi, and Akane when you were little. You always lost, Koko whooped your ass each time. You never quite figured out how he did it. Being the pig always sucked.
"Keep a cool head and you'll be fine," your brother whispers.
"Yo!" the man across from you shouts. "No cheating, scum!"
"Sorry," Koko bows apologetically. "She hasn't played this game in quite some time."
The man with the scar over his eye scoffs. "Why the hell did you pick this game then?"
"Seemed like fun," Koko smiles. "It begins back memories."
The group narrows their eyes in Koko's direction but he hardly pays them any mind. Instead, he begins to reexplain the rules of the game to you.
"Pass a card to the left, that's Kakucho, and then pick up a card from your right which is me. Keep doing that each time it's your turn until you get four of a kind, got it?"
"Yeah," you nod, recalling how to play.
"Okay, don't go slow now or this won't be any fun," the man across from you sings.
"Don't worry, she'll get the hang of it."
Koko then begins by taking from the man on his right. You then pass one off to Kakucho beside you before receiving one from Koko. The pink-haired guy was right, the game does go by rather quickly. Cards circulate fast and you have a hard time tracking whose turn it is until you notice Koko's about to place a card in your hand.

You realize that you've got nothing that makes any kind of sense or denomination. Given the time restraint, you begin passing cards at random to the man on your left.
As the game drags on, you notice that the pink-haired man is smiling to himself; he must be close to winning. There's also a faint smile on either of the two men who look similar. As for the rest of the strangers, they're either frowning or keeping a good poker face. However, the game is going too fast for you to be able to see the expression on your brother's face. You just hope to God that he's got some kind of a plan.
"So," the man across from you asks, "how do we determine the winner?" At the same time, he places down four jacks for the whole table to see.
"It's simple," Koko smirks. "The Pig is the winner."
"You fucking dunce!" the man shouts as he stands up and mindlessly scapes his chair loudly against the floor as he seethes. "What the hell, that's not how this game works!"
"No matter how we play it's not going to be fair, Sanzu," your brother scoffs. "Not with everyone cheating and all."
Sanzu sits down with a huff and pouts to himself as the game starts up again. Koko gives you card after card while you continue to throw out random cards to Kakucho. Between turns you notice how Sanzu's eyes grow darker and darker, but can't really protest since nobody else is paying him any mind.
"So how will you know if we're cheating?" Ran asks. "We could easily give away a good card."
"Sanzu will tell us," Koko smirks. "He's already worked up and passionate about it that I'm sure he'll do us the favor of helping us all out. Same with whoever else gets out."
The pink-haired male stands up once more with a big smile painted across his face. "You can sure count on me," he beams. He begins to walk around the table, following as the cards circulate around. When he gets behind you and Koko, he slows down immensely. He's definitely trying to figure out what Koko's up to. As for you, you're just surprised he hasn't gotten out yet. Koko was always the first to collect the denomination of four when you were kids...
Soon there's a loud growl of unhappiness from the large man a few seats down from you. He throws out his cards with a frown and stands up to accompany Sanzu. Only a turn or two later Kakucho and the man with the scar over his eye throw down their piles, too.
"So, Koko," Ran begins, picking on your brother once more, "You think you're going to get two hundred thousand yen out of each one of us?"
"No, to be completely honest that was never my plan," Koko smirks. "Not at all actually. I'm surprised you haven't realized that yet."
"Well with that look on your face I'm sure that you're cheating somehow," Ran scoffs.
"Like you aren't," Koko replies casually as he watches you hand a card to the brother with longer hair before passing you another card.
"I'd never do that," Ran shakes his head. However, on Koko's next turn he folds.
You look down and quickly rake through your cards. You've got three of a kind and you just open to god you don't get a fourth. As you try to decide your next move, Koko stands up and walks around behind the two brothers in an effort, you believe, to make sure neither of them cheats.
With three tens and one six, you decide to pass the card labeled six to the brother with long, lavender hair hoping to god that'll get him out. However, it's during Ran's turn that you hear the man mumble under his breath and throw out four sixes.
The brother still in the game looks at you with nervous eyes. It's your turn. After receiving a two from Ran, you realize that his brother's got the rest of them!
The room is tensely quiet as you spit out the card and toss it over to him. When the man folds, the room is struck with an even thicker silence. That is until Koko breaks out in laughter.
"See, I told you my little sis sucks at these kinda games. You all walked right into that, you know. You really should listen to me more," he chuckles as he walks over to you casually. "Seriously, Y/N, who knew your unluckiness would finally pay off?"
He then reaches into the center of the table and quickly collects the pile of 1.6 billion yen that he folds into a fat, yellow envelope. He then tosses you the paper and pats you on the head.
"Good job, as expected. Now let's go."
As you stand up slowly (still a bit in shock that you actually won) the group stares you down as though they're about to murder you. However, without another word from anyone, Koko pushes you out of the room before they get a chance to pounce.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.
