Became a Villain in Romance Fantasy - Became a Villain in Romance Fantasy chapter 8
8- City of entertainment
Wakenburg, the city of nightlife.
This was a city that was secretly occupied by the criminal organization Mescaline.
As its name implies, this city was a place that offered the best pleasures if you had enough money.
The state-run casino is by far the best among them.
It was a gambling hall where people from all over the world gathered.
‘Awesome…’
Before I came to this city, I thought how well it would have been if I had made a casino in a fantasy world.
But this place was beyond my imagination.
In the past, there was a time when I briefly stopped by a casino in a country next door where the land mass I stopped by for a trip was filthy.
I still can’t forget what it looked like when I went to see it, drawn by phrases such as world number one.
The casino here in Wakenburg was also equipped with an uncompromising look.
‘Money is the various devices implemented as magic tools in the buildings that were built by hammering all the money into them.’
Since arriving here, I have often felt uncomfortable due to the lack of science and technology.
So I didn’t expect much here either, but rather, the lacking parts were treated with magic and magic tools, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere.
“Young, my lord…It’s too close.”
When I was looking back at the town, exhaling admiration in my heart. Alice’s shoulder, which had been raising her hand, trembled.
Alice, next to me, was wearing an outfit with a long skirt reminiscent of a classic dress, not the usual maid outfit with a miniskirt she usually wore.
‘No matter how noble or wealthy a casino is, I didn’t expect there to be a dress code.’
For that reason, I was also wearing a formal suit, not the one worn in the mansion.
“Be patient.”
I really didn’t want to do anything vulgar like putting my arm around a woman’s shoulder, something that a third-rate villain would do.
Still, for the purpose of this trip, not your average gambler 1.
I had to act as the villain Laplace, who took the hand of the maid she took with me without hesitation.
“…Aww!”
The problem is that the height difference between Alice and I is over 20cm.
I tried to keep her hand on her shoulder as much as possible.
It bothered me that sometimes whenever she touched her delicate parts, she made strange noises.
‘Let’s calm down…’
Singing the national anthem in my heart, I hurried toward the entrance of the casino.

“Why doesn’t this work!”
“Once… Once you win, it’s over.”
“I didn’t carelessly go all-in… But now it’s ruined.”
When I went through the door that opened automatically, probably because of the magic tool attached, there were a lot of people of all kinds inside.
On the other hand, there is a person who walks away smiling with chips in both hands as if she had made a fortune.
On the other side, there was a guy who was squatting and biting his nails as if he had wasted all his money.
“Young, lord… I wonder if this will be a bit difficult…?”
Listening to the people’s shouts of joy and despair, Alice looked up at me and slightly tugged at the end of my coat as if to get out quickly.
“Why is that?”
“If, by chance, you lose even the remaining money…”
‘Are you worried that I won’t be able to hire you anymore?’
Laplace must have not been paying his wages on time, she said Sebastian took care of it separately every time.
After this job was over, she thought she should give her a bonus.
“Don’t worry.”
As if to prove that her worries were useless, I put the chips I had exchanged into the simplest-looking machine next to her.
“Young, lord, isn’t that a 10,000 gold chip!?”
“That’s right.”
Because it is a place where people with money do business, the minimum unit of exchangeable chips was starting from 100 gold.
Still, 10,000 gold was by no means a small amount.
To be precise, to put it in a fun machine like this.
How to use the machine I put the chips in was simple.
After inserting the chip, all you have to do is press the start button, which is the only one in the machine.
After that, one randomly comes out, starting with a bang and multiplying by 50.
However, it was stated that most of them are machines that are mostly used for boredom.
Still, there was a reason why I willingly put a chip in this machine.
Destroy the city while Angelica and Lucia are cleaning out the casino.
There was a scene where Angelica put in a chip that had been rolling on the floor for fun, and it floated 50 times at once.
‘How to…’
When I pressed the
Button, several numbers were passing by on the screen that started to change without rest.
‘Now.’
The method was simple.
Touching the switch on the side of the machine.
That was the end.
Click-.
When I flipped the switch that was hanging in a corner, the speed at which the screen changed in an instant increased.
Teeling-.
Diriring -.
Ding-!
Then the machine stopped making a loud noise announcing that it had won 50x.
“What is that guy?”
“I’ve been here as if I were going to eat, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it 50 times.”
“Well, if it’s 50 times the 100 gold… Well, it’ll be a change of heart.”
Attracted by the rare sight, people gathered for a while, but soon they started to disperse as if they thought it would not cost a lot of money.
After confirming that most of the people had returned, a chip popped out of the machine when they pressed the exit button.
“That, that’s…?”
“It’s a 500,000 gold chip.”
From noble mtl dot com
When I held the chip up to the light, a pattern appeared in a specific part as if a peculiar magic had been cast on it.
‘This is what prevents counterfeiting from 100,000 gold or more.’
“Take it. After today’s work, exchange it and spend it.”
“Yes, yes?”
When I tossed her chip at Alice, she floundered and accepted her chip.
It was a very small amount compared to the amount I had to pay anyway.
She handed it over thinking that it was a bonus that she had brought to the place where it would be open from now on.
“This, I can’t accept such a large amount.”
Respectfully, she put her hands together and held the chip I had thrown in her hand.
“It doesn’t matter. Think of it as your usual reward.”
“No, no…”
“Take it.”
“Hick…”
The scuffle ended only after I grabbed her hands and gave her chips half forcefully.

“Young, lord, did you make a lot of money?”
“I see.”
I looked to the side and saw Alice jumping up and down beside her, looking up at me.
It was a natural reaction.
Play jackpots in a row on slot machines.
In craps (dice), he won a winning streak.
To be honest.
It’s a slot machine.
In poker or craps, you bought the dealer.
But what can I do?
If you twist it, do you read the original work yourself?
Or buy the dealer for an overwhelming amount like me.
‘What game will I make money from tomorrow?’
I already saved enough money to pay off the debt with just the amount I picked up today.
I couldn’t be satisfied with this.
If you think about what this guy has done, you don’t know what will happen in the future.
I should think of it as an installment savings for the future and get rid of it.
Growl-.
On the way to the dorm, she suddenly heard a sound of hunger from Alice next to her.
“Uh… Are you hungry?”
Alice pulled her hat down to cover her face, as if she was ashamed.
“Yes… Yes…”
Usually, after preparing my own meal, I would have prepared my own and Sebastian’s portions to eat.
But today I haven’t eaten anything because I’ve been waiting on myself at the casino all day.
In the case of me, skipping meals while reading or playing games all day was normal, so it didn’t matter.
Hachiman It seems that it was difficult for her.
“Is there anything you want to eat?”
She earned a lot of money, and the moment I thought I should let her, who was attracted to me, eat delicious food for her today.
“Kyaaak!?”
I grabbed Alice and pulled her back.
A merciless scar was etched in the place where I was until recently.
“Divine Punishment.”
Then, attacks that are not enough to be called a miracle of God began to rain down.
“Young, lord?”
“Run.”
Even though Alice was flustered, she started running after me using her physical abilities unique to beasts.
Looking back, countless blades of light were flying down the road.
There was only one person in the original work who could launch an attack using this divine power.
Let’s stop walking when we arrive at a deserted vacant lot that looks devoid of people.
As if she thought she had finally caught up with me, a silhouette that had been hiding and attacking appeared in front of me.
In order to hide her identity, she wore a cape over her usual nun’s uniform, but she still wore high-heeled shoes as if she couldn’t give up her pride for her height.
‘Lucia.’
“What the hell are you doing here?”
There was something I hadn’t thought of before.
During the time I was fooling around.
That means the original story was progressing steadily.
