Killua looks over the cards "Wow... There's even an S-rank card! How much can we sell it for?" Biscuit smiles "Oh, let's go ask around!"

I interject "That card is very useful it stops players from stealing any of the redistricted slot cards!"

Gon nods "We should use it wisely. So what should we do?"

Killua lifts a finger "Well, I guess it's safe to hold on to it. With all these defensive spells, we don't need to worry about it getting stolen. Have you tried any of these?"

I shake my head "Not extensively..."

Gon nods "Just Blackout Curtain."

Killua frowns disappointed "What? If you have all these cards, you should use them..."

I respond "Well even if I did want to use them. I wouldn't use them without you getting to see them in action Killua. It's bad enough we trained without you."

Killua pouts nodding "Thanks for waiting. Let's start by using this one."

Killua hands Gon a card as he continues ""You can choose a player you've met before, and talk to them. Gon looks down at the card before looking up "Who should we talk to?"

Killua retorts "We won't know until we see who's available."

Gon holds the card, speaking up "Contact on!" The card vanishes as the book changes.

While Killua shifts through the list Killua responds amazed "Oh, I see a lot of names."

Killua stops, freaking out from one of the names. I jump to his side, checking out what his looking at.

Killua points out a name "Hey, Gon... when did you run into him?"

Gon gets up, looking at his book as he yells "Chrollo?!"

Biscuit looks confused at us "Who's Chrollo?"

We ignore her as Gon responds "I haven't seen Chrollo inside the game."

Killua interjects "Does that mean you guys passed each other without noticing?"

Biscuit pouts "Huh? What are you talking about?"

I interject "There's no way he could have passed us without us noticing!"

Gon interjects "That doesn't make sense. Kurapika sealed his Nen."

Killua thinks out loud "Yeah, and you have to use Nen to enter the game."

Biscuit responds "Who's Kurapika?!"

I interject, ignoring Biscuit's presence "Which means..."

Biscuit upper cuts us for ignoring her so long "Let me in on this!"

I get up rubbing my cheek "OW! If you let me finish I was just about to get you to join the conversation! Biscuit is it possible to purge Nen?"

Biscuit respond confused "Purging Nen? it's very doable."

Killua freaks out "Seriously?"

Biscuit retorts immediately "Of Course! If you place Nen on others, it's not unreasonable to think Nen can be removed, as well."

Killua turns to us "Does that mean Chrollo has removed Kurapika's Nen, and entered the game?"

I think for a moment "What would even possess him to make him come here?"

Killua shakes his head "I'm not sure, but we should probably let Kurapika know. I'll leave the game real quick."

Gon replies "You can use a spell card to leave."

Killua retorts as he runs "Save it. I can be out and back in four hours."

I respond "FOUR HOURS!"

I sigh "Fine... zee'll wait here. I'll train my Manipulation while I wait..."

I setup the pieces again, practicing some more.

Time Skip

Killua comes running to us as I stop playing chess "Looks like it's not the real Chrollo."

Gon respond "Oh..."

I think for a moment "I wonder who it was then..."

Killua continues "Kurapika was pretty calm about it. Like he wasn't concerned or just didn't care."

Biscuit lifts a finger "Well, it sound like you got worried for nothing. Now it's time to focus on yourselves."

Gon smiles "Osu! Start with the basics..."

Biscuit interjects "We're not going to train. It's time to start beating this game!"

Biscuit grins as I think.

This is going to be a long day...

zwe gather information in the nearest town, trying to find where certain cards can be found.

Time Skip

We reach a large tree as a man grins "It's said the Legendary King Great White Beetle lives only on this tree! There's only one way to capture it! Hit the tree hard enough to shake it out."

Gon pulls back his first "First comes rock! Rock, Paper... Rock!" Gon slams his fist into the tree, making it rain insects.

Killua exclaims "Wow!"

Biscuit freaks out "It's raining bugs!"

I laugh at Biscuit "Stop acting like a scared little girl..."

Biscuit punches me as Gon finds three King Great White Beetles.

He smiles "Found it! Difficulty rank A! That's three King Great white Beetle cards!"

Killua grins "You've could've gotten more if you'd throw a real punch."

I respond "Sure... If he wanted to destroy the tree in the process..."

Gon nods, smiling "I didn't want to damage the tree."

We head over to a mansion, aiming to claim the next card.

Killua sneaks in the mansion as Gon, Biscuit and I stand outside, trying to distract the guard.

He retorts "There is no such girl in this mansion. Even if there were, it would be impossible for you all to bypass all the traps and find her."

Killua opens the door exclaiming "Found her. She was in a hidden room, four floors underground."

The guard freaks "What?" he goes to throw a punch screaming "Curse y-"

I stop him mid punch, slam his head straight on the floor.

Killua grins as he holds up the card "Got an A-rank Gold Dust Girl!"

Gon picks up the card as he and Biscuit respond, utterly confused "The guard was a rank F."

We run back on the road as Biscuit smiles "Next, let's head to the City of Gambling, Dorias!"

Gon remembers something "Wait, wasn't today supposed to be the monthly contest in Antokiba?"

Killua smiles "We'll be passing through, so let's give it a go."

I nod "I hope it's a cool event!"

Time Skip

We sign up for the event, seeing it as it's a tag team match, I sign up with Killua.

We go through every match with ease as the lady announces "Our winner is the Killua and Daniel's team. Here is your prize."

The lady hands us each a necklace as it turns into a card.

Killua and I place it in our book, walking out to meet up with Gon and Biscuit.

I show the group the card. They look at it while I speak "Talk about a good find... the Paladin's Necklace. When a player wears this, all spells targeting player will be reflected. Can also dispel curses placed on any card touched by player."

Killua nods "A Paladin's Necklace! Score!"

Gon holds the card "I don't understand this description."

Killua respond "We could ask one of the shopkeepers."

I grab the card from Gon "It's easy to explain... the card works like a force field. It basically blocks all incoming spells and it can also act a curse remover."

Killua pouts "I think we should ask just in case..."

I sigh "Fine..."

I throw the card to Gon as he catches it.

Time Skip

Gon hands the shop keeper, asking him about it "What does this card do?"

The shopkeeper explains "When you wear this necklace, you can reflect all attack spells. And if you touch cards under the effects of Transform of Fake, you can restore them to their original state."

I smile "Transform changes one card into any other card in your possession. While Fake, changes into any card type from 001 to 099. That could work in our favour if someone tries to cheat us out."

Killua smiles "Wow... if we wear this, we won't have to worry about losing any cards."

I interject "The wearer won't have to worry, but we will... I think Gon should use the card and wear it."

Gon nods "Gain!"

Gon transforms the card back into a necklace, wearing it around his neck.

We head out of Town, looking at all the cards we have recovered, on our way to Dorias.

Gon looks at the cards "Memory Helment..."

I interject "A player will always remember everything seen or heard... too bad its heavy."

Gon nods "Witch's Love Potion."

I chuckle "If a player kisses a pill before feeding it to a target, target will become beholden to player. The pills last for one week and there's 500 pills so it will work for... 10 years and 5 months... So I can make Killua beholden to me until I am what 23/24..."

Killua retorts "OI! You will do no such thing!"

I chuckle "I know... but there's a pill for everything these days..."

Gon looks at the next card "Risky Dice."

I nod "Risky chance indeed. twenty-sided die. Roll one of the 19 Good lucks and something good happens. Roll that 1 out of 20 the bad luck, well... I'm guessing for every roll of the good luck, it comes back to bite you in the butt."

Gon nods "King Great White Beetle."

I respond "A the insect that attracts other insects..."

Gon names the next card "Gold Dust Girl."

I respond "I'm no gold digger. But, she fills a bath a day full of golden dust which apparently nets 500 G."

Gon nods "Paladin's Necklace."

I muse "The thing you're wearing that blocks spell attacks and nullifies curses."

Gon smiles "A total of six different restricted slot cards!"

Killua and Gon high five each other "Piece of cake!"

I respond "6 down, 94 to go..."

We hear a funny noise as a announcement is made through Gon's book "Another player has used Contact to reach you."

The book changes page as we hear a voice "Yo. It's been a while, Gon."

Gon responds confused "Who are you?"

The man laughs "You don't remember me? My name's Kazsule, do you remember the player who took the sword of Truth from you in Antokiba?"

Gon and Killua freak out as I respond "Oh yeah... I remember you chin balls..."

Kazsule retorts "Right~"

Gon interjects "What do you want?"

Kazsule responds "Up for a trade? I have #66, Witch's Diet Pill, and #17, VIP Multi-pass. You can talk it over with your friends."

Gon turns to Killua "What do you think?"

Killua frowns, thinking out loud "We are trading one of our cards for another... I think it sounds like a good deal."

I respond, whispering loud enough for Gon and Killua to hear "As long Gon has the Paladin's necklace they can't steal any cards from us."

Killua nods as he responds "You have a deal. We are just outside Antokiba the West entrance."

Time Skip

Kazsule shows up with two of his lackeys. He pulls out the card, holds it out while Gon does the same. They trade cards as Kazsule and his team leave, without doing anything further.

Gon sighs in relief as I respond "I was really tempted with stealing back the sword of truth."

Biscuit responds "That was uneventful."

Killua nods "Kind of disappointing."

Gon smiles awkwardly "I was so nervous..."

I retort "You had me fooled with your poker face..."

Gon smiles, turning around to face us "But now we've gathered seven types, in three days! We're making decent progress."

Killua fist pumps "Okay, let's keep this up."

Killua turns to Biscuit "Are there any other events in the city for getting restricted slot cards?"

Biscuit thinks for a moment "Hmm... I think there are... in Dorias."

I nod "Alright let's go gambling then."

Time Skip

We head straight for Dorias, City of Gambling, hitting up the biggest gambling location. Biscuit points to one of the Gambling places we should enter "Here is where we can get some great prizes!"

Gon responds slightly confused "Prizes from the slot machines?"

Killua responds "Should've expected as much from Dorias, the City of Gambling."

Biscuit continues "You have a 0.01% chance of winning. That's one in ten thousand tries."

I muse over the situation "So a point zero-one chance of winning... well my luck sucks."

Killua thinks out loud "So it all comes down to luck. Pretty risky."

Killua smiles before responding "I know! Use that dice!"

"Risky Dice?" I lift an eyebrow at Killua s Gon nods. He grabs the risky dice, handing it to Killua.

Killua holds the dice "This is it... If we get Good Luck, we can win!"

Gon responds "But if you get Bad luck, something bad will happen that cancels out everything good that's happened."

Killua retorts "There's only a one in twenty chance of getting Bad Luck."

Killua rolls the dice as it landing it on Good luck "There! Next, we try the slot machine!"

Killua pulls the lever as it lands on triple 7. Killua exclaims "Awesome! One try!"

Killua pulls out the card he won "A rainbow Diamond! Score!"

Killua hands me the card as I hold it laughing "I will never get turned down in marriage! Lovely... is this for me Killua?"

I blink, smiling slyly at killua as he retorts "Give it to Gon so he can put it in his book."

I frown "Oh... I will get you one day."

Killua retorts "Either way, it's exactly like I thought... This dice is the key to winning in this city."

Biscuit responds "But if you roll Bad luck, it could be scary."

Killua retorts "Don't worry. It can't kill m-"

We hear an explosion as one of the man yells "Oh, no! A slot machine exploded! I knew something was wrong. That guy hit jackpot five times in a row. And he was acting weird... He kept rolling a funny-looking die. Yikes, his face is mush..."

I turn to Killua, glaring at him "If you roll that dice one more time... I will kill you! Personally!"

Killua retorts "I'll be fine!"

Killua continues to try his luck as my eyes slowly darken, to the point one would think I have black eyes. Killua continues to gamble as I look at Biscuit worried, she retorts "His not my boyfriend! You do it!"

I gawk "I can't do it! YOU DO IT! You can at least knock him out without killing him..."

Killua goes to roll the dice again "I can do this... One more time! I said I can do this, so I'm gonna do it!"

Killua is about to roll the dice as I glare at Biscuit "Do it!"

Biscuit sighs, smacking Killua on the side of his neck, knocking him unconscious. I frown, sighing in relief "Thanks..."

I pick up Killua up, slinging him over my shoulders.

I hold him like a baby. One hand is under his butt cheek, and the other hand holds his head in place. Killua's arms hang over my shoulders with his head, resting on my shoulder.

As we walk through town, I get some weird looks.

Note to self... make sure to look after all income, Killua has a gambling problem...

Biscuit chuckles "Wouldn't it be better if his the other way around on your back, hanging over your front."

I laugh a little bit "NO! I prefer it this way! I get to hug him so it's a win, win scenario for me... just one question. How exactly did you knock him out?"

Biscuit responds confused "Didn't you see me? I did a chop straight to his neck."

I shake my head "No I mean How...? Actually forget it I can't be bothered explaining..."

Biscuit nods as we reach the outskirts of town. She lifts her fist "Okay, let's move on to the next city!"

I nod, continuing to hold in Killua in my arms.

He manages to stop drooling on me at some point. During our walk, Killua wraps his arms around me, snuggling into my neck, sleeping now instead of being knocked out unconscious... and drooling on me.
