Chapter 821: The Fatal Five"The bartender thinks you are rowdy and bad for customer, so he wants me to make you leave," Ning said. "But I will give you a chance. Let's play a round of cards. If you win, I'll leave. But if you lose, you will have to leave this place."        

    

Borgir, the demon, looked at Ning with a contemplative look in his eyes. "The bartender said that? Fine, then I'll see if you can send me out or not."    

"Borgir sat back on the table and collected the cards. Ning turned around and looked at the two demons who quickly moved away when they realized a new game was going to be held here.    

Borgir collected the cards and shuffled them as Ning watched.    

"What game are we playing?" Ning asked.    

"The Fatal Five of course," the demon said, not bothering to tell the rules.    

Ning frowned. "How does one play that?" he asked.    

"Borgir stopped. You don't know?" he asked, and suddenly started laughing. "And you dared to try and get me to play? Well, that's my good luck then."    

The demon continued shuffling and started handing out the 100 different cards until there were 50 on each side.    

Ning grabbed the cards and was about to turn them around to look, but he couldn't. The game didn't allow him to see what cards he had.    

"Let's start!" the demon said and put 5 cards on the table.    

[Place 5 cards on the table face down.]    

'Thank god at least the game is helping me,' Ning thought and put down 5 cards just like the demon did.    

"Let's turn the first one," the demon said and reached for a random card. At the same time, the game asked Ning to turn a random card.    

Ning turned a card that read 'Pain 5', and the demon turned one that read 'End 7'.    

    

"Oh, higher number wins?" Ning thought. He then turned another card.    

'Possibility 2'.    

Ning frowned. 2 was too small a number. He was going to lose, wasn't he?    

The demon turned his card. 'Fate 10'    

    

"Huh? How does 10 lose?" Ning thought. That made no sense. Still, he won so he wasn't going to complain about it.

Ning turned the next card. 'Destruction 9'. He smiled, as that was as one of the highest cards he could get. Although, he did win last time with a high card so...    

'Darkness 5'    

    

'I did? But why?' Ning couldn't understand.          

    

The demon turned his card to 'Pain 1', and Ning turned his card.    

'Death 3'.    

    

"Hahaha! I got lucky. I was scared for a moment there, but Baelgor and Trenzelgor haven't forsaken me yet," the demon said happily and collected the card to put it aside.    

[Place 5 cards on the table face down.]    

The round had restarted and he had lost. Even though this was the 4th match and he clearly had one more turn to go.    

At this point, he needed to ask the system for the system of the game.    

After asking the system, Ning finally understood the purpose of the game. The game was as he thought for the most part. Higher number won in most cases.    

But, there were a few cases where it didn't.    

There were a 100 total cards in the demon world, 10 numbered card for each of the 10 demonic traits.    

Darkness, Fate, End, Corruption, etc were all traits that came one after another, known as the Loop of Demonic Traits. In this case if there were two cards, each with traits that came one after another, the one that came before would always win.    

The loop was 'Death - End - Darkness- Destruction - Corruption - Blood - Pain - Plague - Fate - Possibility - Death'.      

Darkness came before destruction, and Fate came before possibility, thus they lost.    

There was one other case in this system. If any of your card was the Death card, you lost the entire round without question.    

"Fuck! So that's why I lost," Ning thought. He read the notification asking him to put down 5 more cards and so he did.    

The demon turned his first card. 'Plague 4'.    

Ning turned his first card. 'Death 1'.    

    

"Ho! I'm really lucky today," the demon shouted in happiness, making the entire bar sound more rowdy. The bartender turned to look at them and shook his head.

Ning frowned. "Again," he shouted. He put down 5 more cards from the 40 that were left.    

He played 3 cards, and lost all 3 of them.    

"What the hell?" Ning cried out. "Again!"      

He played a death card.    

"Again!" Ning said and played.    

He won 2 cards, and then pulled a death card.        

    

"No! This can't be happening!" Ning shouted. "Again!"      

Ning placed 5 cards on the table and flipped the first one. 'Blood 6'.    

The demon pulled a 'Corruption 10'.    

Ning won. He flipped the next card. 'I'm going to win this round. Definitely!' he thought.      

'Possibility 4'    

That was a low card, but he did have a chance to win still.      

The demon pulled a 'End 2' card. Ning won again.    

"Yes, I just need to keep this going," he thought to himself. Sure he had lost the last 5 turns, but if he won this, then he could go on for another round.      

Then he will have to win another round. And then another.    

Ning flipped his card. 'Death 10'.    

    

    

Ning was stunned. "How…?" he couldn't understand. Just how could he lose? 6 times in a row at that too. Also he pulled out so many Death cards.      

"I won, so you should leave me alone," the demon Borgir said.    

Ning remembered what he was sent here for. He was to throw Borgir out of the bar. But how?      

His one game failed, and he had no stats to fight the beast.    

'Again,' Ning thought. That was the only way. Just then, a notification popped up.
