My friend introduced me to an online card game.
I won 150 thousand dollars in only one night.
The hot female dealer contacted me privately.
“Mister, you can give me a video call when you top up to a certain amount. Plus, there’s an extra benefit. You can do whatever you want with me.”
[It’s eight against eight. That’s a tie. Congratulations to the ones who bet on the tie. You gained eight times the bonus.]
I heard a notification on my phone, indicating that I won again.
Excitement washed over me. In just three hours, I had won 100 thousand dollars.
It was equivalent to my salary last year.
Besides, it was my first time encountering such good luck after my divorce.
Luckily, Sam Zimmer, my friend, introduced that online card game app to me.
Remembering that, I immediately texted him to thank him.
He texted me back very fast.
[Don’t just play the game. Didn’t you want to enjoy some more fun? Isn’t the woman in there pretty? Listen. These ladies are real. They’re working at a casino in Ekamore. You can message them privately. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to romance them.]
The message moved me as I glanced at the beautiful female dealer on the screen.
She wore a deep-V black dress, exposing a large part of her upper body. She had a perfect figure. Her body bewitched me. She had a small, delicate face. Moreover, she had seductively placed her curly hair on one side of her shoulder while exposing the other.
She blinked at the screen, smiling in a charming manner.
She had a different temperament than the prettiest woman I had ever met before. She was the kind of woman I liked.
I got dispirited after my divorce and never dated after that.
After my friend’s reminder, I found my cold and aloof heart had become lively again all of a sudden.
If I could romance such a pretty woman, I would never forget about it.
But I was living at Anpearl while that beautiful dealer was living at Ekamore. It was quite far.
I wanted to suppress my thoughts, but my fingers subconsciously clicked into the private message session.
It was divided into a lot of categories based on location, including Aroa and Eufier.
The dealer was still distributing the cards delicately on the phone.
When I clicked on her portrait, it showed that she was from Aroa.
After a brief spot of hesitation, I tried texting her.
[Hello. Can I be your friend?]
I wrote that text after contemplating it but found that I could not send it to her.
Stunned, I saw a prompt in the private message settings in the upper left corner.
It turned out that I needed to top up to at least 200 thousand dollars to get permission to send a private message.
Previously, I merely topped up to 10 thousand dollars to have some fun with the game. However, my immense luck helped me gain ten times my initial funds.
I was filled with regret.
If I topped up to 100 thousand dollars, I would have 1 million dollars.
After some contemplation, I withdrew the money I had won previously and took the other 100 thousand dollars from my bank account.
I did not hesitate at all as I topped up 200 thousand dollars.
After that, I got the right to send private messages. But I no longer sent that dealer another message.
I focused on playing the card game. Unfortunately, I was not that lucky anymore after getting distracted for a while.
An hour later, I only managed to increase my funds from 200 thousand dollars to 250 thousand dollars.
I heaved a long sigh when the dealer announced that the round was over.
My regret grew.
If I had known, I would have topped up a lot of money right from the start.
However, I could continue the next night.
At the thought of that, I did not withdraw my money. Instead, I happily took a screenshot of my funds and sent it to Sam.
Sam sent me a thumbs-up emoji.
[Mate, you’re on the right track. That’s great. You won so much. Why didn’t you get a few women to have a great time?]
When I read that, I was moved and found a few red notification dots on the app.
I clicked on the app and found a few private messages.
[Mister, I’m Lilith Smith. I’ll be glad to get to know you! You were so awesome, especially when you went all in. You were so handsome. You were bold and smart. If it’s okay, you can add me as a friend on Facebook. I admire you very much.]
I did not expect that beautiful dealer to text me!
Soon Lilith approved of my friend request.
But she seemed to be busy. Hence, she did not text me immediately.
I grabbed that chance to click on her Facebook account.
She posted updates frequently, including updates on her travels and workplace. All of which were taken at Ekamore.
Most of them were pictures of her against charming scenery. It was dazzling.
She was sitting in the app. Hence, I could only see her upper body. But in her Facebook updates, most of them were her full-body pictures.
Consequently, I could see her long, beautiful legs.
I enlarged a bikini picture of her by the beach. She was wearing a black bikini. Her figure was amazing. She was so charming.
The caption of that photo stated, [A solitary journey.]
Happiness gripped me since she was still single.
When I was back in the chat area, I found a message from Lilith.
It was a self-portrait of her after getting off work.
She pointed at a bruise on her upper body and pouted.
[Look! I accidentally hit the corner of a table when I got off work. I got a bruise.]
I had no idea if she purposely did it or if she was being careless. The camera was facing her upper body.
Moreover, the collar of her shirt was low, revealing more of her upper body.
I could even see the corner of her black undergarments against her soft flesh.
I swallowed and subconsciously touched myself without forgetting to text her back with my other hand.
[Be careful. You’re pale. You will bruise very easily.]
[Alright. You’re so sweet. I’m so happy to have gotten to know you.]
We chatted for a while until I finished satisfying my needs, and she ended our chat.
[I’m going to take a bath. Go to bed early. See you at the card game tomorrow!]
I made a promise to her and got up. After that, I took a bath and went to bed.
I went to work as usual the next morning.
When I got home at night, I did not even eat before I logged into the app.
Lilith had texted me a while ago.
[Come early. I’m still working at Table 8. I’ll wait for you.]
She even texted me a kiss emoji.
When I got there, I found that the table was livelier. I checked the record. It turned out that a player with a username called Book Lover won nearly 5 million dollars in an hour.
I inevitably drew in a cold breath. 5 million dollars! That was enough for me to buy a moderate mansion in Anpearl.
Enthusiasm gripped me. I felt that I could win the same amount of money as that player could.
I was lucky, so I had good skills. Although I did not have a lot of funds, I won a lot and lost a little.
My money would help me earn more. Based on my speed, I would need only three days to win 1 million dollars.
Lilith had started distributing the cards for a new round.
I started placing bets. For the first round, I placed 5 thousand dollars. But I lost. For the second round, I placed 20 thousand dollars and won 50 thousand dollars. For the third round, I placed 50 thousand dollars and won 150 thousand dollars.
I grew more excited as I watched my chips start to pile high. I glanced at the ranking list and noticed that Book Lover had won nearly 10 million dollars.
He was luckier than I was because he made the right guess in almost every round.
A lot of people started placing the same bets as him. He placed 5 million dollars on the banker in that round.
After a brief moment of hesitation, I placed the same bet as him using 300 thousand dollars. Then, I waited eagerly for Lilith to reveal the cards.
She wore a tight dress that stretched around her upper body. It seemed too tight for her upper body. Her fingers were pretty, slender, and long. She slowly held the cards.
However, I was in no mood to watch her because I wanted to see the results of the card game sooner. The moment felt too long as my palms were filled with sweat.
Finally, Lilith started revealing the last card. Her voice was as sweet as always, but my heart was full of ice.
“Seven against eleven. The player won. Congratulations to the ones who placed your bets on the player. You gained ten times the bonus.”
I was astounded. I won a total of 310 thousand dollars but lost 300 thousand dollars in the blink of an eye.
All the players who placed the same bet as Book Lover lost the game. Only the unknown banker won a lot of money.
I instantly got jealous as my hands kept trembling while holding the phone. My mouth felt dry.
Lilith started another round, but I stopped.
After the divorce, I got a house and 200 thousand dollars in savings. But it had been a few months, and I still had not returned to work because my failed marriage was a blow to me.
I used my savings every month and had to pay for child support. My savings grew smaller, leaving me a little more than 100 thousand dollars.
I put all my remaining money into the app last night. I lost, leaving only 10 thousand dollars for myself. I was afraid that my life would get very difficult.
I wondered if I should stop or try again. But I thought of the possibility of losing everything. I might not even be able to pay for my meals tomorrow. However, if I did not go on, I might never retrieve the money I lost previously.
Conflicted feelings gripped me. My mind was a mess.
During my hesitation, the result of another game was out. I casually glanced at it and widened my eyes.
Book Lover had countless chips on the ranking list as shown on my phone screen. He went all in, placing a bet of 5 million dollars on the banker.
The banker gained thirteen points while the player gained ten points. Book Lover won 30 million dollars.
I fixed my gaze on the phone screen with fierce envy. 30 million dollars was enough to buy two McLarens.
For a lottery game, one would only win 8 million dollars for the top price.
Deep regret filled me. I found myself foolish. I should have placed another bet.
Subsequently, I placed the same bets as Book Lover for two rounds. I won both rounds and retrieved 50 thousand dollars.
Unfortunately, that player logged out after winning a little more than 30 million dollars.
I became less focused because I lost someone who could lead me. I made rough guesses for all the subsequent rounds.
In the end, when the game ended, I was left with only 70 thousand dollars.
I was energetic yesterday, but I was miserable on this day. I was still gloomy when Lilith texted me.
[You weren’t lucky today. But it’s okay. I believe that you’ll be able to win and retrieve your money tomorrow.]
I merely texted her a smiling emoji to show that I was fine since I did not want to expose my current feelings to her.
Unexpectedly, she sent me a video. In the video, she was wearing a dress and dancing attractively. She danced hard as if she were trying to cheer me up. Her bosom kept bouncing. At last, she made a heart gesture at me.
[Don’t be sad. It’s okay. I’m sure that you can win it back tomorrow! Look at this player. He also lost at the beginning. His initial fund was a sum of only 10 thousand dollars.]
She texted me a screenshot of Book Lover topping up his money. It turned out that Book Lover lost a lot in the beginning. Then, he topped up a great deal of money and made a comeback. He won and retrieved all the money he had lost before.
She also texted me a screenshot of Book Lover withdrawing the money. It was a total of 38 million dollars. The number of zeros dazzled me.
If I could be like him… I could not imagine how great my future would be. But all that was left on my account was 70 thousand dollars. I did not know how long I needed to play to double that money.
I was wondering where I could get the money before Lilith told me something.
[I’ve got a secret, but you can’t tell the others. There has been a flaw in the casino’s online system lately. You can get your money back as long as you place a large deposit. If you top up 500 thousand dollars, you’ll get 600 thousand dollars.]
She even texted me a winking emoji.
[It’ll reflect on my job performance if you top up a lot. Help me, please.]
Lilith spent her time chatting with me these days when she was not working. She was pretty, gentle, and considerate. It was hard not to fall for her, especially for a man like me who had been lonely for a long time.
I started calling my friends to borrow money to make a comeback as well as for Lilith’s sake.
I was popular. Hence, many of my friends transferred the money to me without hesitation.
Some of them asked me if something was wrong since they were concerned about me.
I was too ashamed to tell them that I wanted to top up my funds in an online card game. I just made an ambiguous excuse.
After much effort, I managed to gather 500 thousand dollars in a few days.
The night I topped up the money, I won a million dollars. Not only did I earn back what I had lost, but I also won a lot.
When the game ended, Lilith video-called me very soon.
I nervously answered the call.
Soon I saw a woman in a bathrobe. She had just finished taking a bath. Her wet hair naturally fell on her shoulders. Some water dripped down her forehead from time to time.
As I looked down from her slender neck, I saw her smooth upper body. She seemed rather charming after exiting her bath.
My heart started racing.
Moreover, she was sitting on the sofa crossed-legged. Her bathrobe was partially opened.
I could easily see her lower body.
She was very seductive.
I was gripped by her good looks.
When Lilith noticed my gaze, she smiled shyly.
“Do I look pretty?” She rubbed her lips with her forefinger, seducing me.
“Of course!” I blurted out.
She looked prettier in the close-up video call. Her exquisite facial features were no worse than many models out there.
It was the first time I had video-called a beautiful woman. My palms started sweating. I did not know what to say.
Luckily, she started the conversation.
“I can do whatever you want for you since you helped me with my job performance. You can do whatever you want with me…”
