[Available Lucky Blocks for today: 20]
[Open x1] | [Open x10]
"So many of them have accumulated..." Adam felt sowhat lucky as he saw he could imdiately open two sets of ten cards.
With hope in his heart, he pressed [Open x10] and squinted. Imdiately after his press, ten cards appeared before him, shining in various colors, temporarily blinding Adam. However, after five seconds, the radiance disappeared, and he saw a notification.
[Congratulations! You received: Sword of Darkness, 25 experience points for the "Casanova" class x5, 500 Seduction Points x4.]
"So much stuff..." Adam squinted again, and the information appeared before him.

Type: Weapon
Description: In ancient tis, there were elegant magical swords crafted from the legendary tal Riviris. However, during the war, this tal was destroyed due to the greed of practitioners, forever depriving talented swordsn of good partners. The sword's level increases with the user.]
Adam took the sword in his hand, and it looked quite ordinary, like a knight's sword. The main difference was in the color of the blade, which was black. Swinging the sword a few tis in his hand, Adam nodded, realizing that the sword suited him.
To be frank, Adam preferred ranged combat as it was more convenient, and he excelled in it. However, when it ca to close combat, there were nurous problems.
As already known, Casanova was not a combat class. It was closer to a magical class, so Adam found it challenging to fully unleash his strength. If he were not a demon but an ordinary human, he would face many difficulties.
In any case, all he could do was hope that he could change his class to a combat-oriented one.
"Swordsman? Assassin? Warrior? Honestly, I don't even know which one is better... because when it cos to gas, I pretty much have no clue." Adam scratched the back of his head and sighed. "If I knew I'd end up in this situation, I would have played MMORPGs more often, seriously..."
Adam rolled his eyes and moved to the [Chamber of Comrce], finding himself amidst the stalls once more. He located the tent labeled "Other" and chose an item.

"A month has already passed, so..." Adam nodded decisively and spent the points.

[Na: Mood Reading

"Co to think of it, I haven't gone 'hunting' in a while... I've been spending all this ti with my wives, so it's not surprising." Adam smiled and logged out of the system.
Glancing around, he noticed it was already late at night. The city's nocturnal lights were still brightly lit, thanks to technology based on magical energy. Since magic was everywhere, the lamps worked as if they were charged by solar energy. The only difference was that magical lighting functioned 24/7.
"I truly admire this world..." murmured Adam as he got up.
It was late, and most people in his mansion were asleep. Amarantha had left for her gang's business, and Elyra had not been feeling well due to her pregnancy for several days.
"I'd like to help in so way, but she says she has to overco it herself." Adam sighed and put on his jacket before leaving the mansion.
The night sky was gloomy, and the weather outside was cold. Although it was sumr, sotis the weather beca unexpectedly chilly, almost like winter.
"There's nothing to do at the brothel... Besides, I don't want to bother the girls. Sigh, if that idiot Alexander had stayed, we could have had a drink together, that would have been nice." Adam shrugged and felt a sense of loneliness. "Wait a mont... co to think of it, is he the first man I've had a normal conversation with? Oh wow..."
Softly smiling, Adam strolled through the streets of his city, observing its developnt. And thinking about the inco he was generating... Adam could only smile.
Despite the late hour, there were many citizens still awake. Elves, humans, beastn... the variety of races was astonishing. Perhaps, without strict security asures, there would be many problems due to racial prejudices.
"Hey handso, want to have so fun?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.
Turning around, Adam saw a middle-aged woman of the human race. She reeked of alcohol, clearly drunk. Staggering, she approached Adam and leaned against his chest, sniffing.
"M-m... the scent of youth. So, what do you say, want to have so fun with ?" She smiled at him and took his hands.
Adam raised an eyebrow, and his eyes sparkled, showing colorful spheres around the woman. There were red spheres and one large blue sphere.
"Hmm..." Adam chuckled and smiled at the woman, taking her hands intimately. "You seem a bit sad. If you allow , I'd be glad to accompany you."
The woman looked at him and blinked, looking puzzled. But then she smiled softly at him and nodded.
"I know a nice place to relax." Adam pointed to an upscale restaurant and led the woman there.
Under the glow of the streetlights, he finally saw her appearance and realized that she wasn't human. Her cute ears gave it away – she belonged to the catgirl race. After a brief conversation with her, Adam learned her na was Shizuya. She had migrated to the city with her family: her husband and two children. Initially, Shizuya had hoped to find work here, but encountered difficulties.
"Sorry... the workforce is currently saturated, and there are no job vacancies. I truly apologize..." And this monologue repeated twenty more tis. Shizuya had lost hope, just like her husband. They had so money left from their previous job, so they could survive sohow. But then a miracle happened...
Her husband found an unknown job and started bringing ho money. With each passing day, the inco grew, and she even dared to hope that everything was falling into place, but...
"Gambling?!"
The city of Sedyon, a beautiful fortress at the Three Borders, also had casinos and other entertainnt venues. Although many intelligent people avoided such places, unless they wanted to lose everything, there were still those who succumbed to the influence.
Gambling addiction. In Adam's previous life, it was a serious problem that had ruined many families. Although he was smart enough to avoid the influence of casinos and similar establishnts, he had witnessed the desperation and consequences of gambling addicts. However, Amarantha insisted on building a casino and other amusents.
Although initially reluctant, Adam realized that it would bring substantial profits. And so...
Shizuya's husband was one of those who believed in the principle of "the casino will help make money." In the end, he lost over 100 Silver Dragon Stones, their last money. The result... hunger.
"Damn it... can you imagine? This idiot left alone with two kids, without any money! I had to get a tough job and carry heavy loads." Shizuya gulped wine straight from the bottle and scowled. "How I hate my life. If I knew this would happen, I would never have co here."
Adam leaned back in his chair and sighed. Although he expected such cases to happen, he didn't anticipate encountering the influence of gambling so soon.
"You said the kids are hungry, so why are you spending money on alcohol?" Adam frowned, noticing one detail.
"Hey, hey, don't look at like that, got it? I'm not that dumb and heartless. The boss treated to this, and said it might help ease the pain from the workload." Shizuya snorted and pushed the bottle away, breaking it.
The waiter was about to say sothing, but Adam simply waved his hand and compensated him. Bowing, the waiter left them alone.
"Let order you sothing edible. You can't satisfy your stomach with alcohol, right?" Adam infused magical energy into the token, and a nu appeared before him. "There are many good dishes here. Eat, and I'll order more for takeaway for your kids."
Adam softly smiled at Shizuya, looking into her eyes. Today, he felt generous and was willing to spend, considering that such expenses wouldn't affect his wallet.
"No, it's not necessary..."
Gur-r-r...
"Heh-heh, although you disagree, your stomach does." Adam chuckled and pointed to the nu. "Let be cool, alright? When a man wants to treat a woman, she shouldn't refuse his treats."
Shizuya looked closely at Adam's face, and her cheeks turned red as she fidgeted in her seat. Despite feeling awkward about being treated by such a young guy, she felt a warmth in her heart.
"Sorry for the trouble..." Adam smiled, watching Shizuya enjoy her food. Her soft black hair swayed, and her bright brown eyes sparkled with satisfaction.
"Although I prefer attractive won, mature ones are not bad either..." Adam thought to himself as he ordered portions of food for her children for a month.
***
Inevitably, every city has its slums. And although Adam tries to avoid the ergence of slums, it is a challenging task, considering the sudden influx of immigrants. Tents and poorly constructed houses were scattered everywhere. It seed that even a gentle gust of wind could blow off the roof and leave the residents without shelter.
In one such house lived Shizuya, the sweet woman from the catgirl tribe. Adam entered the house and imdiately felt the creaking floor beneath his feet. There were many rotten planks, and the sll inside was not pleasant.
"Forgive for bringing you to such a dilapidated place," Shizuya apologized, bowing her head.
By that ti, she had regained her composure and behaved very politely. Adam could only smile and reassure her.
"No need to say that. In any case, a ho is still a ho. Not everyone has a roof over their head."
