Old Story 1)

Today's Diary Entry.

Gambling Hall Entrance – Lost Everything!

The End.

'......I lost it all.'

Thinking of it as an entrance fee to raise the favorability of Silver November might make it seem less expensive, but it was a huge sum, so it's inevitable to feel this bitter.

Of course, thanks to the copyrights on my items, a huge amount of money was still piling up in my bank account, but the feeling of losing all the cash right before my eyes was a different story.

They often say that losing money in gambling is like buying an expensive life lesson.

No.

That's just a way to cope.

Even with the blessing of Yeonhongchun Samwol, I couldn't shake off this bitter feeling.

"hehehe......"

"............."

While I was shedding tears of blood alone, Silver November suddenly spoke.

"Alright, fine. I do love gambling. And your proposal is quite interesting even in my short thousand-year life. I'll accept it."

He stroked his beard and burst into a hearty laugh. He laughed because he won the money.

"I'll return this money to you."

At that moment, a wide grin spread across my face.

"Oh, you don't really need to, but if you insist on giving it back......."
(TL: I can literally see Yu-Seul drooling)

"After all, I didn't gamble for money. But, we need to have a deeper conversation."

My hand, which was reaching for the coins, stopped abruptly.

Right. The opponent is Silver November.

I had let my guard down while chatting with him openly, but now wasn't the time to focus on money.

"First question. You already knew my true identity. How did you know?"

It was a common plot twist in possession stories. The protagonist figures out the opponent's identity, leading to a surprising scene.

It would be nice to lie and say I figured it out through insight, but that wouldn't work.

Though his powers were now divided into three sacred artifacts, making him weaker, his brain was still the sharpest among the New Moons.

A clumsy lie wouldn't work.

So, I needed to come up with a plausible excuse......

"Never mind."

"......What?"

"There's No need to ask. I'm curious about your past. I'll check it myself."

"No, wait a moment......"

I tried to stand up quickly, afraid that my origins from 'Earth' would be exposed.

But it was already too late.

'Relax and let go.'

The moment I made eye contact with him.......

I felt my strength drain from my body.

Time and space completely froze.
