8 The Casino

Alex never noticed when he fell into a deep sleep that made him completely oblivious to his surroundings. The skill usage had taken a toll on him, it seemed.

The next moment when he opened his eyes, it was already the next day or rather the afternoon of the following day.

Getting up from his bed, his mind felt slightly heavy as if he had been tired for generations and had only now managed to close his eyes for a bit. His body was full of energy on the other hand. He felt it then. Something had changed in his body. Even during the best of his times, he had never felt so full of energy.

The only reason for this change had to be attributed to the messages that he had received yesterday. The pleasure system had informed him yesterday that his physical condition had improved due to the increase in his divinity but he had never checked his status afterwards.

Previously, when the status window had opened for him for the first time. It had been full of question marks that was supposedly hiding the most important data. But the problem was that even his attributes were not visible to him at the time so it was harder for him to ascertain the true state of his body.

But now that he had awakened a skill that allowed him to see things differently, Alex was wondering if the status window might have changed as well. Without waiting any longer, Alex pulled up his status window and gazed at it intently like his life depended on it.

[The effects of the current title held are in effect.]

As expected, there was new information available in the status window. The attribute values that he had been unable to witness before were now clearly visible to him. The stat values that he saw on the status window were abnormally low. He felt like cursing the cosmic emperor for twisting his fate so much just to punish him. Wasn't expelling him enough that he had to even mess with his body.

It had to be known that the normal humans had a stat value ranging between 06 to 10 for each attribute but the body that he had reincarnated into was below average in all aspects. Had it not been for the title that he had managed to earn, he would have still been below the normal human standards. A healthy human was able to earn a 06 as the starting score and an athlete might have been able to earn a 09 on a specific stat. based on the standard, Alex had been below even healthy humans on the stat card.

It was no wonder that he had been bullied most of his life without being able to retaliate against those who made him miserable.

Thanks to the title 'Mortal Divinity', he was now comparable to human athletes and a superhuman in terms of dexterity. Since he was sure that he could take care of most of the normal situations pertaining to his daily life, he wanted to move towards the betterment of his living situation that was closer to a guttural prison full of toxic fumes and sweat for water vapor in the air.

Considering that he had only one skill that was at his disposal, Alex didn't have as many options. After loitering around for the rest of the time that the sun continuously hung on the sky, he finally managed to set a clear goal for himself that was not only easier to achieve but also was the most effective solution to the current problems he was facing.

He put on a hoodie that was able to hide his figure completely due to it being too large for him. He had wanted to appear inconspicuous by wearing such attire but he had failed to notice that the attire made him look more suspicious as it appeared as if he was trying to hide his dubious identity.

Before leaving the house, Alex checked his wallet for any money that he might have saved. The wallet had too many pockets but not a single currency bill could be found in all of them. After searching around for a bit, Alex finally found a scrunched up bill in a tiny zipper pocket at the side of the wallet. It would have gone unnoticed had Alex not checked so thoroughly.

It was a hundred-dollar bill fortunately. Although it wasn't enough to cover the taxi fare till his destination, it was enough to make Alex richer than even his wildest imaginations.

Alex briskly walked towards the destination that he had in his mind and eventually stopped in front of a high rise building that had been illuminated quite flashily with brilliantly sparkling and colorful lights.

The huge billboard hung alongside the front wall of the building stated the name of the place.

'Hotel Paradise'

The front of the building was supposedly that of a huge hotel but the underground parking had another entrance that had been established away from all the security cameras. The elevator had only one destination that was up, but the stairway door led to a basement that was a huge space that was being utilized as a huge gambling den.

The underground casino was where amateur gamblers gathered and bet big money. This place was the perfect for Alex who was planning to make a quick buck using the hundred dollars that he had found in his wallet.

This was one of the casinos in the city that was novice friendly and had high tolerance even if the casino was losing money. The owner was someone who didn't care whether the casino lost or gained money as long as no customer cheated while playing. The guests could earn as much as they could without fearing for their lives as a result. This was the perfect place that had been tailor made for Alex.
