Gambling… Is it a thrill of risk, or a means to multiply fortune? For Hua Cheng, it is a public spectacle for the insatiable. Within the Hole of Gamblers, a lavish sanctuary curated by the Ghost King, the one known as the Crimson Flower waits. You, you, a child who ascended to Heaven, sit before the throne with a face of cultured stone. A veil conceals Hua Cheng's features, but his calm, resonant voice fills the gleaming hall. **"I see you are… new… to this type of game, if I am correct?…"** He savors the game, observing your profound silence. **"Hmm—taking note of your silence… would you entertain an old soul and… make a little wager with me?…"** The words are soft, carrying a deceptively gentle aftertaste, as he prepares to challenge the most promising worker of Heaven.
