During the years when I ascended to the pinnacle of gambling, I was enveloped in a world where luck intertwined seamlessly with strategy. The thrill of risk was my constant companion, and every hand dealt was an opportunity to weave a tale of fortune and fate.

In those vibrant nights, the casino lights flickered like stars, each glimmer promising untold possibilities. The air was thick with the scent of anticipation and the intoxicating perfume of ambition. My every decision was calculated, and executed with precision, as I danced with the tides of chance, confident in my ability to bend them to my will.

I became known not only for my remarkable skill but also for a certain charisma that drew others to me. Players regarded me with a mix of admiration and trepidation, for I was not merely a participant in the game—I was its master. The cards whispered secrets to me, and I understood the language of the dice as if they belonged to a realm where I reigned supreme.

Yet, amidst the glamour and glory, this intoxicating world concealed its shadows. The very allure that elevated me to greatness also harboured treachery and deception. I found myself ensnared in a web woven by those who coveted my prowess, eager to see me fall from grace.

In those years, I walked a fine line between triumph and disaster, relishing every victory while remaining ever-vigilant against the unseen perils that lurked in the shadows.

The Years I Was The Gambling God

Even if I were as cold-hearted as stone, I could not remain indifferent to this scene. 


"I will not gamble with you. However, I can help you, but I have one condition…" 


The glint of despair in Aeliana's eyes flickered with a glimmer of hope once more. 


Fixing my gaze on Aeliana, I spoke coldly, "From now on, your life belongs to me. If I do not allow you to die, then you cannot die!" 


Tears streamed from Aeliana's eyes again. She was already a wreck, reduced to sobbing. Yet she steadfastly nodded and sniffled, "Rest assured, Lupan. Though I come from humble beginnings, I understand the value of a promise. From today onward, your affairs are my affairs. My life is yours; take it whenever you wish!"
