Operation "Show me the money"

It was her first time visiting a casino in both of her lives and she was going alone. Her Grandpa had asked one of the shadow guards, a nineteen year old sniper, Rollie to escort her. She knew that Rollie was not his real name but then, no one used their real names in the organization. She also had her name, Nonexistent. She wanted to be nonexistent and at the same time popular, what an irony.

She was visiting Billios Casino as a new gambler. Her family actually owned this casino. Her grandpa had told her to make a new for herself within six months before she is officially affiliated with the Blade family. This was a means of achieving her goal. She didn't want to disappoint her grandpa and ma on her coming of age ceremony, when she turned eighteen.

She had learnt from her grandpa that appearance and presence mattered a lot. She had changed her appearance all together. This time, she was wearing a knee length, body hugging black gown and stilettos. She put black contact lenses on her green irises and dyed her blonde hair strawberry blonde. She also put on light make up with pale lip gloss. She looked twenty.

"Hi, Señorita"

The first thing that came to mind was 'Who is this now?'

She ignored the voice that sounded like it came from a middle aged man and went to purchase her chips.

"Chips worth five million dollars, please".

She got the chips she requested floor and went to the first floor of Billios with Rollie. Billios casino had one hundred floors. You advanced to the next floor depending on the amount you win in your previous floor. Gamblers are only allowed to purchase chips once per night. You can only use the money won to climb the rankings, although you have the choice to stop gambling when you deem fit.

'Nonexistent has entered the first floor' a mechanical voice announced. The requirement for the first floor was five hundred thousand dollars. To level up required one to win four million dollars.

Lilith now faced seven other players on her table. Four middle aged men, a young and handsome man of about twenty one years of age and a young lady of about thirty years. It seemed like she was the youngest in the group despite her transformation from her seventeen years old self. Come to think of it, her birhday was coming up in about nine months time.

" I propose we play 'fight the landlord'" one of the middle aged men said. Although everyone had mentioned their names, I can't remember any of them because I believe it is of no use to me.

We all looked at the dad like he was crazy. Maybe not all of us, as the old men nodded their heads while expressing their acceptance.

She placed five hundred thousand dollars worth of chips on the table beside me while Young Master Handsome shuffled the cards. The game didn't last long as Lilith won in no time. She was ecstatic to win my first ever casino game. Although she had always been good, she didn't expect this kind of surprise. Rollie gathered the four million dollars worth of chips, equating the total worth of the number of chips she possessed to nine million dollars. Although she wanted to stop, she decided to try her luck and so, advanced to level two.

'Nonexistent has entered the second floor'. Now, she needed a total of ten million chips to advance to floor level three. It seemed like luck was on her side as she now had a an additional fifty million dollars in chips. It seemed like she would become a billionaire soon.

She advanced to level three. From level two to thirty, games were played by five players. Level thirty one to sixty, games were played by a group of three. From level sixty one to eighty, there was an infinite number of people that could play a game. Not everyone was privy to knowledge of levels 81 to 100 as only the gods of gambling had visited that realm.

After five winning streaks, she had amassed a total of four hundred and eighty five million dollars: five million from level one, fifty million from level two, eighty million from level three, one hundred and fifty million from level four and two hundred million from level five.

She was very satisfied with the result and decided to return home. Unfortunately, she didn't see Young Master Handsome on her way out.
