Prologue

You and he came from two different worlds.

Try as you might, there was a boundary you couldn't breach—a line you couldn't cross.

A brief glance on a fleeting night for an everlasting dream.

He was an unattainable hope, and you dared not wish for more.

...So how did you end up being on top of the notoriously undefeated hot gambler, known for his endless stroke of good luck?
