Luna sits on her throne, leaning her cheek against her knuckles. She appears bored as she glance around her empty palace. It feels quiet and too lonely for her. Well, she's not technically alone as she has Gal, who's sleeping on top of her throne. Luna looks at the doors that leads to the outside. She hesitates for a moment, thinking if she can go. But it's full of disgusting demons that may want to harm her or worse.

Sighing, she gets off of her throne and heads to the dressing room to grab her black hooded coat and wraps it around her to cover her face. Gal opens his eye and notices Luna heading towards the doors and squawks. Luna stops and looks up to her guard goose.

"Don't worry about me. I need you to stay here where it's safe and make sure no one trespass this palace. Okay?"

Gal hesitates and then gives her a nod. Luna smiles and opens the door.

"I'll be back, Gal."

With that, she leaves the palace. She stops at the top of the hill and sees the Pentagram City up ahead. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before opening them as they're now determined.

"Let's do this."

Luna takes one step at the time as she heads straight to the city.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Throughout the city she entered, Luna couldn't feel more disgusted than anything as she walk past the sinners who are killing each other, having s*x, eating each other, etc. She knew that this is Hell, but this is worse and no one even cares as they could do whatever they want freely. Luna walk past the cannibals that are eating the dead sinner. She nearly puked at the sight of one of the cannibals eating an eyeball. She pulled the hood down to cover her eyes.

Luna looks around the place to find anything that could make her less uncomfortable until she finally found one. The Jackpot Hotel with a casino. Curious, she approached the casino and stopped in front of the entrance. She opened the door and was met with flashing lights, domed cameras, mirrors, slot machines, card tables, and more. She could hear slot machine arms, coins falling into machines, alarms, people talking, and more. And the smell reeks of cigarette smoke, felt, perfume, cologne, food, and more. She even see roulette wheels, gaming tables, shuffle machines, slot machines, video poker machines, video lottery terminals, baccarat, bingo, keno, craps, betting terminals, and live dealer games.

She noticed the sinners are crowding around the pool table with a spotlight hanging above someone in the middle of the crowd. Luna walks over to it and moves past the sinners, excusing herself along the way. She then makes it to see a sinner holding their cards and they appear anxious and nervous while looking up at their competitor. Luna looks over to where they're looking at and sees an anthropomorphic avian cat demon in a fancy black suit with orange sleeves and an orange bowtie. His hair is sleeked back. He looks confident as he grins at the nervous sinner, knowing they're losing. Husk then places down his cards for everyone to see and it shows that he won. The sinner looks back down at their cards and slams them down on the pool table in frustration and defeat.

Still grinning, the cat demon holds out his clawed hand and releases glowing yellow chains as they wrap it around the sinner's neck and lock it.

"You work for me now. Now, fetch me a whiskey." he ordered.

The sinner nodded and ran off to go grab him a drink. The cat demon takes in the pile of money and faces the crowd.

"Is there anyone who can challenge the best gambling overlord?" he asked, making everyone cheer.

Luna, meanwhile, was interested in this overlord and wondered if she can try and play. She looks around and notices someone drop their medium pouch and picks it up and looks inside to see it full of cash. She looks back at the cat demon overlord then to the money and nods. Luna clears her throat loudly to gain their attention, including the overlord as she walks out of the crowd to reveal herself still wearing a hood to cover her face.
