I've always loved gambling anime/manga such as Kaiji, Legendary Gambler Tetsuya, and Usogui, and so, in the advent of the widespread news about NFTs and the fact that some movies were given the "Web3 experience" my mind went to a dystopic future where every movies had now been cut down into separate pieces and if you wanted to watch it all you had to pay a large sum of money... like that could ever happen hahaha! In all seriousness, I don't have anything against the use of artificial intelligence. I think it's a great tool that can be used in certain scenarios, and the witch-hunting that goes around when a movie uses it for a small thing, such as prop art, is just blown out of proportion. But a part of me also wouldn't like to see fully artificially generated films, especially at the point the technology is at. So my casual love for movies and gambling series is what inspired me to create this first chapter! I do have to clarify that the characters in the series represent extreme viewpoints that I do not outright agree with, but I just wanted a change of pace where big personalities and egos clashed in the ultimate battle! Anyhow, I hope you've enjoyed this macabre tale of tricks and deception as much as I did writing it! If you find any mistakes, please let me know!!! I don't know when the second chapter will come out, since it took me months of sitting on this concept to actually write anything (lol). My focus right now is going to be directed to my other series, Everything Goes South, since I have a new arc for that in the making. So stay tuned!
