1 Trick 1: Welcome To The Kingdom Of Gambling!

"This kid looks delicious, we should grill him up and eat him.", an org said

"No, I prefer eating him raw. Its been a while since we last had some human meat.", another one argued.

"Oh my god, what the hell is happening to me!", I cried.

OK, you probably don't know whats going on so let me back up a little bit.

5 hours earlier

Hi my name is Lucas Wang and I'm a 20-years-old first-year college student majoring in Computer Science. I used to dream of being a famous magician when I grow up since I'm great at it, but it shatters after that tragic event 8 years ago.

You see, my brother Andy Wang was also a magician, who is famous around the world, and I admire him very much when I was a little kid. I had always wanted to be like him. Someone who is loved by everyone, famous worldwide, and popular with the ladies. So I started to learn magic myself. I read books, watch videos on youtube, takes lessons, but none of those tricks is near the level of my brother most basic tricks. So I ended up asking him to teach me and since he didn't have a lot of free time, he gave me a notebook that contains detailed intructions to performing all of the tricks that he had created and perform throughout his career. After reading the first 10 tricks in the book,I was suprise that all the tricks that looks complicated to the audiences eyes are actually quite simple to perform. When I had master the book, I wanted to show off to my brother right away, but he had already left and can never come back. The sky was clear and beautiful that day and my brother has just left to perform a new tricked that he invented, but he never came back. The performance has already ended so I stand infront of the house waiting for him, but what came back was his partner and a body of my brother. They say that he died while performing a trick involving explosives. According to his partner, my brother was accidentally killed when the dynamites suddenly ignites when he was preparing for his newly created tricks. This has mark a scar in my heart, my only influence has passed away so whats the point of continuing down to this road.

Throughout these 8 years, I had never shown any magic tricks to anyone. I practice them everyday to keep the memories of Andy in my head, but I pretend that I didn't know when people ask. Students at my school always says that how can I not know any magics when I'm the little brother of one of the world former greatest magician, but I don't really care. They are they and I'm me. And that sums up my normal life that is so normal to the point that it is boring. Anyway, back to the story.

I was just walking home from another boring day at my boring school with absolutely no cute chicks or lolis for me to hit on or even to look at. By accident, I bump into a man in a black suit. and made him drop all of the files in his suitcase. It was my fault, so I help him put back the all the paperworks and files back. As I pick them up, I saw a picture of my deceased brother attached to a folder. This is definitely suspicious, I need to take a look at it. When he wasn't looking, I quickly switched the paperworks inside the folder with the blank sheets I had in my backpack. After I finished putting back the files back into his suitcase, we both get back up, shook each other hand, and he gave me a black and red color ring with runes engraved on it as a gift. I insist on not taking it, but he said that he would felt bad if I don't accept it. In the end, I agree on receiving it and hey it actually looks pretty good on my finger.

Wait..where did he go? Oh god, did I just see a ghost. I must be studying too hard. Now, I need to look at that files. Let's see. "Andy Wang deceased at age 23, occupation: Magician, Cause Of Death: Murder". My brother didn't died in an accident!? He was murdered! I knew it. There's no way that explosive could be a coincedence. But who is the murderer?

"Young man, I could help you with that. If you followed me, you'll know the secret behinh your brother's death. To prove that I'm trustworthy, Let me give you a meeting gift. Take this colored joker card and hold it to the sky. It will takes you to a place where you can find the answer you are looking for.", A mysterious old man said.

"Who on earth are you..old man?", I replied.

"Whether thou trust me or not is thy choice. If its answers that thou seeks then we shall meet again in that world.", He smiled and dissappear.

I have an uneasy feeling from this, but if its to get revenge for my brother than this is worth the risk.

I raised the card toward the sunlight and suddenly the sky turns dark, everything dissappear, and a black light coming from the card swallowed me whole. When its releases me, I was on top of a hill and infront of me was a kingdom. I'm not talking like modernly kingdom like UK, but like one of those from ancient times. Oh god, where the hell am I.

Now its not the time to freak out. I need to get into that kingdom and ask for help.

I began walking towards the kingdom and ended up in a forest. As I keep walking, two orgs jumped out infront of me and they tied me up to a tree and preparing me to be their dinner.

"I'm telling you, he will taste more fresh if you eat him raw.", the blue org said.

"No, roasting him will make him more delicious and you can reduce the chance of getting stomache when you are eating raw food.", the red one argued.

"Roasting! Raw! Cooked! Sashimi!", they started to arguing.

"There's one way to settle this. Lets gamble in a game. The loser will agree to the idea of the winner. This is how you solved conflicts in this world afterall!", The red org announced.

Wait, gambling outside of casinos is allowed in this world!? And did he say that this is how everyone solve things. If this is true then maybe I have an idea to escape. Lets watch to see what game they are playing.

"Fine, what do you want to play!", The blue one replied.

"Hehe, the rules are simple. Here we a total of 56 rocks with numbers from 1-10 and symbols of the duke(DK), queen(Q), king(K), and Lord(L) on it. Each of the rocks will have an S, C, D, H mark on them. S is the lowest and H is highest.The rocks with the symbol of duke(DK), queen(Q), and king(K) is worth 10 points and the Lord is worth either 11 or 1 points depending on your choice I will turn these face down, mixing the up, and each one of us will pick two rocks and compare points, you can choose to stay or pick up more rocks to increase points. If the points exceed 21 points then you lose. If you get below 15 then you are force to add more points the minimum for a stay is 18 points. Also the rocks with duke, queen, and king counts as higher grade than the number 10 even though they are worth the same points. Easy and fair right? ", The red one intructed.

Isn't this just like the card game 21 from my world, but it not exactly the same since black jack isn't counted as the strongest pair in this version. If its like this than I could win easily.

"Lets begin!", the red org announced.

The red one began to mix up the face-down rocks and when he's done both of them pick up two rocks. From my location I could see that the red one has a rock with K and L with both H symbols. This could count as a 21 points. It seems like he won this match. Is that honey that I smell. Where is it coming from?

"I got 21 points. 1 DK and 1 L with D. Looks like I win!", the blue one yelled.

"Not so fast brother, I have a K and L with H. Which has a total of 21 points as well, but higher.", the red org laughed.

"One more! 2 out of 3!", the blue one demanded.

And so both of them keep playing and playing for hundreds more match until the sun falls down. At last the blue one is starting to give up. I also know the reason why the red org is winning as well. Before starting the game, he rub some honey onto all the rocks with H on them. Thats why he was able to pick up all of the rocks with the highest points. Nows my chance to shine.

"Um..hey mister blue org. I could help you win against your brother if you agree to let me go. I guarantee that you'll win.", I asked.

"Brat! You can help me win?"

"Yes. Its very simple actually."

"You keep your words kid or else I'll rip you apart."

"I promise."

"Before we start, I would like to propose a new rule to make this game more interesting. Why not make the DK with S and L with S the strongest pair. And I want to be the one who's mixing the car.", I smiled.

"Fine.", the red org grinned.

I started mixing all the rocks at fast as I can. Touching each and everyone of them as I go. When I stop, I let the org choose first then me. I could see his face getting confuse. I pick up two rocks "randomly" and wait to reveal it.

"Alright, I got 1 S DK and 1 S L.", I smiled innocently.

"I got 1 S K and 1 Q.", the red org grumble.

"You lost mister red org. Now I'll leave you two to it and get going. See ya!", I smiled and starts to walked away.

The red org get up in anger and chase after me. When I see this I ran at full speed.

"I won the game! You're supposed to let me go!", I yelled as I ran.

"My brother did, but I didn't! Now get back here and let me eat you!", He replied.

"Goddamn it, are all you org this shameless and a sore loser?", I yelled.

Ok, I'm getting exhausted now. I can't keep running. Damn it someone help me! Anyone!

*Beep Beep* "Congratulation on winning your first gamble and unlocking the God of Gambling System".

"The system can see that the host is running for his life."

"No shit Sherlock!"

"Would you like the system to help?"

"Yes!"

"As a greeting gift the system will give you Shadow Clone Jutsu and a Katana for you to use."

"Would you like to learn Shadow Clone Jutsu now?"

"Yes!"

"Confirmed, you have just learned the technique"

"How the fuck, do I use it!"

"Easy, just do what Naruto do."

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!", I screamed.

Out of nowhere, 5 clones of me appears infront of the org, each with a katana on their hands. One also appears on my hands.

This system is so awesome. Now Lets give this a spin.

"All me's! Attack the org without mercy!", I yelled.

All of my clones ran at the org and starts to slash it everywhere, but its seems like it doesn't do any damage. They are as tough as the one I read about in comic books. Damn, he must have a weakness somewhere. Wait that's it!

"Everyone! Focus all your attacks on his birdie!", I announced.

After hearing my order, all 5 five clones focus all their strengths onto their legs and strike at the org birdie.

As expected he screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Who's small now huh orgy!", I laughed.

"Although your method is a bit brutal,the system congratulate you on taking down the red org. You are now awarded $500. You can use this money to purchase items from the shop or exchange it for this world currency."

Nice! $500 just like that. I'm so awesome. Hahahaha!

"Now that I made you lose your ability to reproduce, I'll tell you how I won the match. Before the match starts, I already know that you rub honey on all the H rocks so you can identify them. I already cover my hands with dew drops from the leaves so when I mix up the rock, the liquid in my hands has washed away the honey and left a watermark when it dried up. That's how I was able to identify the S DK and S L.", I whispered into his ear.

After peeing on him for trying to eat me, I immediately walked toward the kingdom. Within a few days, I had reach the front gate of the kingdom. Now I need to fit in.

"System I would like to purchase the most fashionable clothe of this world."

"Sure, this is the newest styles. That will cause you $100. Confirmed purchase?"

"Damn this outfit better made me look cool. Confirmed purchase!"

"Process finished. Now dressing the host with this world most stylish male clothing."

My clothing was quickly swapped. My black school uniform was replace with a white dress shirt, black vest, black dress pants and shoes, along with a black trench coat and tie.

Hey this doesn't look half-bad. I look like one of those gambling masters from the drama.

I walked into the kingdom and the guard was wearing knights armor with the symbol of a red rose surrounded by swords along with the letter F engraved on their armor. Interesting. I guess this is my new life now.

"Hey kids, do you want big brother to show you how to win this game?", a familiar voice said.

No way, this voice it can't be....
