Chapter 101: Chapter101-Crushing the Table[Congratulations to Abyss Gate #1987 for successfully summoning the Grand Prize!]

    [This round’s jackpot reward: 5,000,000 chips!]

    The booming announcement reverberated through the entire Casino Royale, setting off yet another wave of chaos and excitement.

    Northern Frontier.

    In a small, dimly lit tavern, Daniel took a heavy swig of wheat beer, draining the glass in just two gulps. A satisfied sigh escaped his lips—the refreshing sensation spreading through his body was invigorating.

    There was no denying it: the oppressive atmosphere of the abyss was simply unsuitable for human beings. It was suffocating, like a heavy weight constantly pressing down on one’s soul. No matter how mentally strong Daniel was, even he needed the occasional breather.

    He glanced at his communicator and noticed a few messages from the Human Emperor. They were reminders about details concerning the upcoming coronation ceremony—standard protocol for someone about to be crowned a king.

    Daniel had already gone through those instructions once. He didn’t pay much attention to them now.

    His departure from the abyss wasn’t permanent—just a brief break to reset. After all, it would take some time for five million chips to finish pouring out of the Abyss Gate, and there was no harm in catching a breath while it did.

    After resting for less than a minute, Daniel’s body flickered and disappeared.

    In the next instant, he was back in the abyss.

    Surrounding him were countless abyssal creatures. They had encircled Daniel and the massive mountain of glowing chips beside him, but not a single one dared to move forward.

    By the rules of this realm, the jackpot clearly belonged to Daniel. No one had the right to lay a finger on it.

    Daniel didn’t hesitate. He immediately activated his skill—[Forceful Convergence].

    In a blink, every single chip on the floor vanished, absorbed directly into Daniel’s backpack.

    Who could have imagined that the man who had entered the casino with a single chip just moments ago now possessed five million?

    Without the slightest pause, Daniel turned and walked toward another gambling table.

    Dice Coaster.

    A straightforward game: ten dice would be rolled at once, and the player with the highest total wins.

    There were also special bonus conditions. For example, if a player rolled five or more identical numbers, the payout would multiply significantly—up to 100x!

    Daniel didn’t bother studying the full set of rules. He didn’t need to.

    After watching for a moment, he placed all five million chips onto the betting table without hesitation.

    His boldness immediately caught the attention of the nearby abyssal gamblers.

    One of them leaned in and said in a curious tone:

    "Wait... you’re a human?"

    "If I recall correctly, your kind’s appearance is documented in the archives."

    "Look, he’s accompanied by an Abyss Ghost. Those only serve the King himself."

    "That means this human must be a special guest of His Majesty."

    "Who would’ve thought... humans enjoy these risky games just like us."

    "Do you think he’s ever tasted the pain of losing it all?"

    Daniel ignored the chatter. He activated [Eye of Insight], but it yielded no immediate advantage.

    The results of the dice wouldn’t be determined until after bets were locked in. His ability couldn’t predict the future—it could only analyze present conditions.

    So, he opted to wait and watch a round play out.

    As chips were placed across the table, the dice began to rattle. The final results landed with a dramatic clatter:

    60 points.

    Wait—what?!

    The abyss creatures gasped collectively. Shock spread like wildfire across the table.

    60 points—that meant all ten dice had landed on sixes!

    The odds of that happening were astronomical. In the last decade, no one had ever witnessed such a perfect roll.

    "100x payout! That’s insane!"

    "Damn it, I was just thinking about betting on that, but I chickened out!"

    "If someone had bet on 60, they’d be an instant millionaire!"

    "Thank the abyss I bet on even numbers. Only got 2x, but at least I made a profit."

    "Screw it! I bet on odd—lost everything!"

    Daniel’s eyes glinted. Without a second thought, he activated his divine skill—[Time Stream].

    In a heartbeat, time rewound to the moment just before he placed his bet.

    This time, he slammed all five million chips down on one number: 60 points.

    No hesitation. No second thoughts.

    All in.

    And that jaw-dropping move left the entire abyssal crowd stunned.

    "What... what just happened?"

    "He’s going all in? Just like that?"

    "He just won five million chips, and now he’s risking it all again?"

    "Good gods... is this human insane?"

    "No. He’s not insane—he’s got guts. I respect it. I’ll bet 20 chips alongside him!"

    The dice began to spin again before anyone else could place additional wagers.

    The atmosphere tensed, every eye locked on the shaking dice.

    Then... the dice stopped.

    60 points. Again.

    An explosion of silence. Then chaos.

    "HE DID IT!"

    "A 100x return—he actually pulled it off!!"

    Daniel had just turned five million chips into five hundred million.

    With just two rounds, his fortune had multiplied exponentially.

    And yet—for Daniel, this wasn’t the end.

    It was only the beginning.

    What followed next shocked even the most hardened abyss gamblers.

    Daniel went on a rampage.

    One all-in bet after another, risking his entire chip count every single time.

    There was no fear in his eyes. Only fierce momentum.

    The atmosphere inside Casino Royale had transformed completely. What was once a place of decadent leisure now felt like the eye of a storm.

    Of course, this was Sarko’s territory. Cheating was forbidden. The casino maintained perfect fairness.

    Sarko didn’t care who won or lost. In his eyes, everything here belonged to him anyway.

    From his perspective, it was like moving money from one pocket to another.

    Because of that, no one tampered with the odds. Everything was real. Pure gambling.

    And Daniel?

    He was dominating.

    As the crowd swelled, his chip count surged to a truly monstrous number:

    4.5 quadrillion chips.

    And just as he was preparing for another round, a few abyss creatures came sprinting toward him, their eyes wide with panic.

    They threw themselves at his legs, clinging to him desperately.

    "Respected guest, please... we beg you, hold on!"

    "We’re out of chips! The casino literally doesn’t have enough in reserve to cover your next bet!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Daniel paused, stunned.

    He hadn’t anticipated this outcome.

    For the first time, he truly realized the scale of the wealth he now held.

    "Wait... did I go too far?"

    The thought crossed his mind briefly.

    But he quickly shook his head, dismissing it.

    After all, Sarko was the one who invited him here.

    And if he wanted Sarko’s full trust, he had to show him just how terrifyingly skilled he was.
