Degenerate Gambling in Another World - Chapter 8

Kai and Princess Hori spent the next few days holed up in the luxurious room, plotting their next move. They had come up with a plan to earn the money needed to save Homep’s economy, but it was risky and required a lot of skill and luck.

“We need to start small and work our way up,” Kai said, pacing back and forth in the room.

Princess Hori nodded in agreement. “We can’t risk losing everything at once. We need to be strategic.”

Kai pulled out a map of the neighboring kingdoms and pointed to a few locations. “I’ve heard there are some underground gambling clubs in these areas. They host ancient games that are difficult to master, but the payouts are high.”

Princess Hori studied the map and nodded. “We’ll need to disguise ourselves and use fake names. We can’t risk being recognized.”

Kai grinned. “I have just the disguise in mind.”

The two of them spent the next day shopping for disguises and practicing their poker faces. They settled on fake names and backstories and set off for the first underground club.

The club was in a dimly lit basement of a run-down building. There were a few tables set up, each with a different game being played. The air was thick with smoke and the players all looked serious and focused.

Kai and Princess Hori sat down at one of the tables and began to play. They started off slow, making small bets and observing their opponents. As they gained confidence, they started to increase their bets and take more risks.

They played for hours, winning some hands and losing others. But overall, they were making progress. They had won enough money to cover their expenses and make a small profit.

As they left the club, they high-fived each other and laughed with excitement. They were one step closer to saving Homep’s economy.

Over the next few weeks, they visited several more underground clubs and casinos, using their skills and luck to win big. They met interesting characters and learned new games, always staying one step ahead of their opponents.

As their reputation grew, they were invited to play at higher stakes tables and exclusive clubs. They made alliances with other skilled gamblers and shared tips and strategies.

Eventually, they had enough money to start their own casino. They rented out a large building in a prime location and hired staff to help run the operations.

The casino was a huge success. People came from all over to play the games and enjoy the luxurious atmosphere. Kai and Princess Hori were the faces of the casino, always present and mingling with the guests.

They used the profits from the casino to pay off the debts owed by the kingdom of Homep. The economy slowly started to recover, and people were able to find work and support their families.

Kai and Princess Hori were hailed as heroes, credited with saving the kingdom from financial ruin. They continued to run the casino and expand their operations, always looking for new games and opportunities.

But despite their success, they never forgot the lessons they learned on their journey. They knew that gambling could be a dangerous addiction, and they vowed to always gamble responsibly and use their skills for good.
