Home/Sci-Fi/Rigged: The Gambler's Paradox

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Daris Renok is the laughingstock of the Krov Vanguard. Awakened with the 'Gambler' class, his combat effectiveness relies entirely on pathetic, randomized dice rolls. Burdened by a sarcastic, world-weary attitude and the desperate need to afford treatment for his younger sister, Tila, Daris is barely scraping by. That changes when a battered courier drone delivers a blood-stained letter written in his own handwriting. The message reveals a devastating truth: a past iteration of himself hacked the System's foundational code before being erased, leaving behind a backdoor. Daris's RNG isn't broken; it's rigged. Whenever he places a bet with his actual life on the line, his win rate is hardcoded to one hundred percent. Armed with this suicidal loophole, Daris strides into the S-Rank 'Oblivion Chasm' - a death-trap that just swallowed the city's most elite guild. He doesn't just survive; he obliterates the disaster, triggering an infinite scaling loop that leaves the elites speechless. But as Daris's power skyrockets, the System itself begins rolling out targeted balance patches to eradicate the anomaly. Can Daris outwit an omnipotent algorithm designed to kill him, or will his ultimate gamble finally bust?
