Truly thought after besting Dealer at his own game so many times in a row that he would finally understand that he can never beat me and leave me at peace... Clearly, I was wrong.
“Oh? Now that’s not a very nice way to greet an old acquaintance,” acquaintance, my ass, would be more accurate to refer to you as a constant nuisance in my life. “Though personally, I don’t really care how you treat me; as long as we can play our favourite game together, then that’s all that matters to me.”
“Yes yes, I already know how much you love this stupid little game; you don’t have to tell me every freaking time.” letting out a tired sigh, I finish the rest of my champagne and toss the empty bottle on the floor by the pilled-up trash bin. “Do we have to play now, though? Cause I’m really not in the mood for any games today. Can’t a man spend his day off sitting his ass down on this high-quality couch and watch TV on his million-dollar surround sound set up in peace?
“I can’t do that; Lady Fate would not allow it, and even if she did...I wouldn’t.” Fucking arsehole, if this piece of shit wasn’t some other worldly thing, I’d take that coin and shove it up his ass! “Besides...It looked like you had a lot of fun playing my game with your Ex, so what’s the harm in going another round?”
A grumble left me as I made my way over to the fridge and pulled out the left-over pizza from the night before to munch on...Least I think it was the one we ordered last night. Either way, I’m still chomping down on it regardless. “Fine! Whatever, let's just get this over with already.” I take a bite out of my cold slice of pizza, leaning back on the kitchen bench while I wait for him to get this stupid game over with.
A chuckle left the creature as he let the coin he loved to flip over and over and over again rest on his thumb and prepared to start the game. “Alright then...Let’s jump right to it.”
Yet again, he flips the coin into the air while I watch it spin round and round till it lands back in the palm of his hand so he can flip it over. I wait for him to confirm the invariable results.
“Well now...Looks l-
“I won again...Woooo yaaaaaay…What a shocker...” After stuffing down the rest of my pizza, I lift myself off the bench and make my way over to the couch to finally start my day off proper. “Now that my soul is safe, could you poof away or whatever it is you do already so I can get some freaking alone time in this house?”
“You know...You might want to see the result for yourself since it’s quite an interesting outcome.”
I came to a complete halt, my shoulders dropping as I tilted my head back to face the creature while letting out an exhausted sigh, wishing this freak would leave me alone already. “The fuck are you on about?” reluctantly, I turned around and approached the creature to see what he rambled on about and hopefully give him a reason to get out of my house.
Rolling my eyes, I look over, expecting to see the same dancing monkey again...Only that wasn’t what I saw this time. “T-The hell…” I couldn't comprehend what I saw before my very eyes and even had to rub them to make sure I wasn’t seeing things, but it was there as plain as day...The coin had landed on…
Heads
-
I-I was left in utter shock….T-there is no way this is right! This is impossible! There has to be some sort of mistake! I NEVER LOSE!
No...There is no mistake; once I heard Dealer’s laughter, it all started to make sense. “You piece of shit! You must have flipped that coin when I turned my back!” this conniving little bastard! If this punk was nothing more than a mere man, then I would have strangled him until he breathed his last breath and had his body dumped into my ocean!
“Believe what you want, but I’d never tarnish my game by cheating to influence one’s fate.” This lying scumbag placed his hands into his pockets, looking at me with his empty void of a face as if he had done nothing wrong! “The fact of the matter is, you kept testing your luck with Lady Fate and will now pay the price for it.”
“Y-You!” I was absolutely fuming at the nerves of this filthy cheater! Teeth clenching together tight and my hands curled into fists, I take a swing at the creature, no longer giving a shit if he was some unnatural being. “I’ll kill you!”
I put my whole body into my punch, one that would knock out the biggest of bears and would no doubt do serious damage to even an otherworldly creature like Dealer… Only that didn’t happen…
“W-what the?” Instead, my punch didn’t make contact with anyone; in fact, once I regained my composure, that was when I realised Dealer used his powers to teleport away. “C-Come back here and fight me like a man, you coward!” I frantically search around the den for any signs of the creature, even knocking away my own furniture to try and find the fucker.
“That’s a request I refuse to partake in.” His creepy voice gave away his position. My attention quickly shifted to the hallway that connected to my room. The punk was leaning against the wall, acting as if he owned the place. Such a callous act only further enraged me. “Fighting is something that is beneath me; my only concerns are serving Lady Fate and playing my favourite game with you mortals.”
I growl at this sissy; not only did he cheat me out of my win all because he got upset that he could never defeat me fair and square, but he won’t even step up to fight me man to man.
Wanted nothing more then to rush him especially after hearing that annoying chuckle of his, but knew it was pointless considering he would just teleport away again when I got close to him.
“No need to be upset, though; now that you have gotten heads, your wish can come true now.”
“Huh? Wish? What the hell are you talking about?”
One last chuckle left the creature, turning to face the direction of my room, and spouted one last thing that sent a chill down my spine.
...You shall never see me again…
…
With that final sentence, Dealer had made his way down the hall and entered my room, causing me to hurry over, forgetting for a moment that he could just vanish whenever he wanted, and was only greeted with the three naked chicks still passed out with no Dealer in sight.
That slimy, cheating motherfucker! Bastard couldn’t accept that I was unbeatable and rigged that coin flip for me to lose.
Worst of all, since the coward disappeared into nothing, I wasn’t able to beat his sorry ass for tricking me. Knowing I couldn’t get my revenge on that spinless creature, I broke down into a fit of uncontrollable rage, screaming at the top of my lungs as I indiscriminately grabbed anything I could get my hands on and smashed it to pieces!
I didn’t know what I was destroying, nor did I really give a flying shit! The world around me may as well not have existed, as everything around me became a fuzzy blur, with only my boiling anger guiding me over to the next object to destroy!
Once I picked up a golden statue of an angel and tossed it at my movie theatre-sized screen and smashed it to bits, I began to settle down.
My outburst left me standing in the middle of my destroyed den, heavy breaths leaving me as my sights settled onto my disjointed reflection that came from the remaining shards of glass still hanging within the frame of the screen.
“...Fuuuuck…” stumbling over to my couch, I plop my ass down on it and bury my head in my hand, the terrifying realisation of what this rigged loss could all lead to.
Dealer made it crystal clear that I would suffer a horrible fate if I had ever lost this coin toss, yet I still didn’t have the damnedest clue what that could possibly entail.
All I know is that if he was willing to break his own rules just to defeat me, then whatever that creature had in mind wasn’t going to be either quick or painless... What the hell was that man going to do to me?
...*Tweet*
“AH!”
The paranoia got to me so bad that even something as simple as a tiny chipping bird that took a seat on my outside bench caused me to rush to my feet and raised my fists high, ready to fight for my life.
“Jesus Chr-Go on! Get out of here, you little shit!” waving my arms erratically, I successfully shooed away the annoying little bird and aggressively rubbed my forehead to try and calm myself down.
“FUCK!” Eventually, the stress was too much to handle, and I quickly rushed to my fridge to pull out a bottle of wine and start chugging the bitch down, not giving a shit that the majority of my drink began pouring down my body. “Ahhhh! Fuck!….I needed that…”
After a few more swigs of my drink, I eventually began to settle down, sitting back down on my couch and gazing at the now-destroyed screen that could easily be replaced, taking a few calming breaths before breaking down into a fit of laughter after coming to a realisation.
“THAT PUNK CAN’T DO THIS SHIT TO ME!” That cunt kept going on about how I’d suffer if I ever lost that coin toss. Well, the truth of the matter is that creature cheated, so in the end I have come out the victor, and even if that sissy little bitch tries to come after me, my luck will protect me.
With a sigh of relief, I sink into my couch and take another swig of my wine. Knowing I’ll be fine...I’ll be just fine...Ha ha ha-
HAHAHAHAHHAHAH!

“Place your bets here! Bet a dollar and win a dollar! All you have to do is correctly guess where the coin will land, and you win! No need to break the bank in this game of chance! Place your bets here!”
It’s been over a year since my final encounter with Dealer, where he cheated me out of my win and fabricated my very first loss.
Have never seen him again since that day, but that bastard’s scummy little trick had created a ripple effect that caused my life to spiral out of control and destroyed everything I had worked so hard to obtain.
Losing countless bets only a day after that piece of shit cheated me out of my win...I even got into a fight with the staff and was eventually kicked out of that casino due to the sheer shock of my loss. No matter what I did, even trying my hand at underground gambling didn’t do me any good, with my billions soon dropping into the low millions.
Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, a letter from my Ex-wife came in my mail, announcing that somehow she managed to get our divorce case re-opened and discovered my bribe with the judge, forcing me to pay out my remaining millions not only to the court but also to my wife and that bastard child of mine!
In the end, that cunt did indeed steal my hard-earned money, along with forcing me to sell my house and all my hard-earned stuff inside it to pay off the rest of what I was forced to owe, leaving me completely homeless and holding on to the only thing to my name that wasn’t the clothes on my back...
A single dollar.
I couldn’t do shit with a dollar, so there was only one option left for me to reclaim the glorious life that had been stolen from me…
To test my luck one last time!
“Place your bets here!” I just needed one person to challenge me. “Bet a dollar and win a dollar!” Just one game and one win is all it will take. “All you have to do is correctly guess where the coin will land, and you win!” To reignite my luck and set me back on the path of infinite riches! No need to break the bank in this game of chance! Place your bets he-AH!”
“Oy! Watch it, ya freak!”
It was then that some arsehole knocked into me and sent my face crashing onto the pavement. Once I had regained my composure, I was just about ready to slug the man...Only my sights had set on a much more important objective.
“W-w-w-wait! Nonononononono!” When I fell, my dollar hand slipped out of my hand and began rolling down the street, heading straight for the sewer grate.
With no time to waste, I rushed to my feet and chased after my last chance to regain my fortune, making a dive for it when it looked like I wasn’t going to make it and stretched my arm out as far as it could to grab the coin!
…
Only for my finger to hit it and give it that extra push it needed to fall down into the sewer grate... Leaving me to lay there awestruck...
My eye soon began to twitch, and anger boiled over inside me as I let out a loud screech and pounded my fists onto the ground over and over until they had become bloody and broken, not giving a single shit about how much it hurt!
"DEALER, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!” I screamed to the heavens! Cursing the creature who ruined me! “I HOPE YOUR LAUGHING HARD YOU BASTARD! IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU, I’D STILL BE LIVING GREATER, THEN ALL THE RICHEST OF KINGS COMBINED!”
All because of him, I lost it all...All because he couldn’t stand losing against me…All because that prick had to cheat…
“I KNOW YOU CAN SEE ME! SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD SO I CAN STOMP YOUR HEAD INTO THE CURVE!!!”
I frantically look around for this creature, knowing he had to be somewhere!… He has to be! Hiding somewhere out there, laughing at me after burning my life to the ground!
I looked, and I looked, yet the coward was nowhere to be seen!... Yet that didn’t matter anymore, for I had spotted something far more interesting in the distance.
“The golden gate bridge?...Yes...Hahaha! Yes, of course!”
I didn’t need to beat the ever-living shit out of Dealer; no, no no no, I have a better idea on how to get back at him...Showing him up at the ultimate test of luck!
“Hahahahaha! Yes, that’s perfect! HAHA! I’LL SHOW YOU DEALER! I’LL SHOW YOU MY LUCK IS STILL AS POWERFUL AS EVER! BWHAHAHAHAH!
Wasting no more time, I ran towards the golden gate bridge, making the biggest bet of my life and freeing myself from this curse!
For I am the luckiest man alive!
