The Author is an Extra, The MC is a Reincarnator

For once, I was confident that the reincarnator, Zaiden, won't try to steal the opportunity that I was waiting for.

I only wrote about the opportunity in the last chapter, so I would be fine. At least, I could confirm whether he was a reincarnator once he awakened.

The opportunity was reserved for Vincent, and it was the key to make me stronger than the protagonist.

If he tried to find a method of Mana Breathing to get stronger, then he was definitely a reincarnator. But, if he chose to stay in the Academy, I couldn't confirm whether he was a reincarnator or just Zaiden with memories of my story.

His act… he was absolutely suspicious and had a hero-complex. So for now, the chance of him being the former is higher.

When I walked back to my room in the dorm, I tried to find the three other items and found out that they had gone too.

It only strengthened my belief that Zaiden was, in fact, a reincarnator that had memories from his past life, and more importantly…he read my novel.

I planned to gain funds with those items, but it couldn't be helped if they were already taken.

The reason why I needed money was simple. It was to make a second identity for me. To do that, I need to learn about how to Enhance items and make a costume to hide my face and my Talents.

Learning about Enhancement was a bit easy. However, securing the materials needed to enhance the items was troublesome.

Then, it left me with the other way to gain funds for my plan…

"Let's go to the gambling parlor," I muttered quietly in my room as I changed my clothes into a suit.

Every male student had a suit to attend a formal ceremony of the Academy. Of course, I had one too. I tried to make myself look older by slicking my hair back and putting on a gel to keep it in place.

[7:30 PM]

Sometimes I wondered why those guys who were transmigrated choose to stay in that world?

Earth was peaceful. It was in the modern era where anything could be fulfilled with just a press on a smartphone.

Even when I was transmigrated, I still couldn't understand.

If I was asked whether I wanted to go back to Earth or not, then my choice right now was… I wanted to go back to my Earth. I needed to know what happened to me over there. If I indeed died in that world, then only at that moment would I give up and do my best to live in this world.

This world was fucked up. However, at least the first half of the novel had no real danger; it was relatively peaceful, with many guilds running around to clear the dungeons.

It was also peaceful right now. Standing in front of a big building with a lot of light, I smiled slightly. The atmosphere in this place was really different from the Academy.

However, I at least wanted to find out who transmigrated me here and for whatever reason he reincarnated someone to be my protagonist, Zaiden.

But that was not too important now. I had business tonight.

A lot of people in suits and dresses were going in and out of the building while laughing. Some had a grim expression as if they had lost everything.

It was natural.

I now stood in front of a casino in Las Vegas to make money by gambling. It took 5 hours to get to Las Vegas by riding a bus, and it took me 80 USD just to get here.

I only had 500 USD left in my pocket, and it was all the money that I had left in my bank.

If I lost later, then I wouldn't have money to go back to the Academy.

'Well, I will trust my S-Rank Luck.'

I entered the casino with a grin on my face and exchanged 500 USD worth of chips. The casino didn't ask for my age, maybe because I was tall and wore a suit to match the atmosphere.

After getting my chips, I went to the blackjack game. It was the most effortless play in this place, and I could rely on my Luck on the blackjack.

I also learned a trick called card counting on Earth, mainly because I used it in my novel. It was rather easy for me, who had a great memory, so I could learn it rather quickly.

After walking for a while, I found a blackjack table. I sat on the remaining empty seat without greeting the people around me.

On my left was a blonde lady with a blue dress and an old man in a suit. Both of them were smiling, and there were a lot of chips in front of them.

A man in his twenties sat on my right; his expression wasn't exactly good. I didn't care, though, as I planned to get his money too.

The dealer who saw me sitting in front of him didn't even have a change in his expression. He gestured to us to place our bet.

This time I just put 200 USD worth of chips while the blonde lady and the old man threw a thousand USD worth of chips.

'Woah, that's a lot of money they put in one game!'

I whistled at them, and they squinted their eyes as they turned at me.

"What are you looking at?" The old man asked me with an irritated tone.

I didn't even do anything to him. I shrugged my shoulders, "Nah, you put a lot in one game, old man. I was just amazed by the amount that you put out."

He raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue, "Tsk! This is not much. It's normal to gamble this much."

"That's right. Could it be that you are poor? I suggest you leave this place before you go bankrupt like that man beside you." The lady added as she glanced at the man beside me.

The man shuddered when the lady addressed him out of nowhere, "I-I am not bankrupt yet!"

He said while stammering.

'No no no, you are clearly bankrupt. There is only 10 USD worth of chips in front of you!'

I wanted to deny him, but the dealer had given us our card. Two cards landed in front of me.

Without lifting the card, I took a quick glance without changing my expression.

While in blackjack, it wasn't necessary to have a poker face. Because the dealer could only put a card on the table, and the players couldn't outplay each other.

However, I put on a poker face to contain my happiness.

I got a blackjack right off the bat.

"Hit or stand?" The dealer asked the man beside me.

I glanced at his card, and he only got 15.

'He will hit.'

His bet was 5 USD, so he could at least hit once.

"H-Hit."

As expected, he chose to hit. The dealer gave him a card, and it was seven hearts—a bust.

The dealer didn't even ask me because I got blackjack, while the lady and the old man chose to stand as they got 19 and 18 respectively.

The dealer revealed his card, and it turned out to be 20.

Only I won, and the dealer gave me 200 USD worth of chips.

'This is good.'

I couldn't contain my smile anymore, and I put out a 500 USD chip as my bet right now.

"Let's continue the game."

The old man and the lady were not satisfied after losing a thousand USD each, and they put two thousand USD as their next bet.

Good. Go for it. If this was poker, I would be rich. However, I wasn't skillful enough to play poker, so I chose blackjack.

It didn't change though. I was doing well. Slowly but surely, I made a lot of money from just blackjack.

'It's the easiest money in my life!'

***

Time passed, and I went back to the Academy with a newly made bank card after I had deposited all the money that I got from the casino.

I was kicked out of the casino once I made 20 thousand USD, and I was forced to relocate. Last night, I went around the casino in Las Vegas until 2 AM before going back to the Academy by taking a Taxi.

I got no sleep last night, but I was happy because I made a lot of money.

'Crazy, I got more than three hundred thousand USD in just a night.'

The amount that I got was enough to get the material to create my second identity. I never expected to get this much in one night. I now realized the power of my S-Rank Luck.

Sitting in the classroom, I hide the grin on my face with my hands.

'I should go to that place after school.'

Now I could carry out my plan earlier than I planned.

I glanced at Zaiden, and he was already surrounded by four heroines even when the class hadn't started yet. They came from different classes, so I was wondering what they did before the class started. But it turned out… they were surrounding Zaiden just the same…

'Just wait.'

My grin turned wider.

'One month, I will allow you to get one month's worth of peace.'

After that, my plan would be completed. And if he was a reincarnator, he would be confused and scared.

'This will be an interesting month.'
