The Gambler Reborn

Richard was a semi-successful gambler on Earth. Not a high-roller, not a degenerate—just good enough to think he was smarter than everyone else. Good enough to bet the house. Literally. When his girlfriend murdered him mid-argument over losing their home in a Texas Hold'em hand, Richard's dying spirit didn't fade. It jumped—drawn across worlds to fill an empty vessel: the body of a 15-year-old Baron's son found unconscious after falling from an estate tower. The boy's name was also Richard. Richard Blitz. Now Richard wakes in a world of arcane cores, beast crystals, and clan warfare. A world where power is measured in cultivation levels and knights burn their own lifeforce for strength. A world where he's suddenly the heir apparent to a struggling noble house—and someone already tried to kill him once. The irony? In a world of magic and monsters, Richard's greatest weapon is the only thing he brought with him: a gambler's instinct.
