Chapter 1 - Let the Games Began

By the end of the week, June had finally convinced the hospital to let her go. She was discharged the following Saturday with all her belongings. Which wasn't much as the original host had little more than the clothes on her back. Other than that she had a thick red ribbon June decided to tie around her neck and Bunny knot as a memento to the original.

After being freed she decided to walk around as she thought up a plan for her next move. She didn't just need to know what to do next but she also needed to learn more about her surroundings. One could always turn the tides of a battle by being more prepared than the other.

Still, she found coming up with a large amount of money in less than a month was particularly hard. She didn't have any skills from a previous life that could get her money. Not to mention she wasn't familiar with stock and hacking was completely out of the question.

"I've never wished I paid more attention to computer science in my life, " June sighed.

She'd been racking her brain over the subject for the past hour. all the ideas that came up were either highly dangerous or stupid. One, in particular, was the idea of selling her kidney but luckily she dismissed that one quite quickly.

'Well if I can't come up with something myself I could always try the internet.'

It was her last resort as robbing a bank was starting to sound more and more enticing. So she made her way over to a nearby internet cafe. She had happened to see it a few streets down from the hospital.

There she used her young looking body to slip past the employees. They assumed she was with someone older and allowed her to go in the computer room.

'Let's see if I'm lucky.'

She searched the web looking for little ways to make money quickly. However, fate wasn't on her side. It looked like she used up all her luck being reincarnated as everything was scams or looked sketchy.

'D*mn it! At least throw me a bone here!' She thought frustrated.

She was going to give up when she heard a low ping coming from the computer. The last person to use the computer before her must have forgotten to log out of a chat room.

'What's this?'

She would usually ignore things like that or log out for them but she was slightly curious. They were aggressively texting each other back and forth she couldn't help but look. There was no harm in looking anyway.

NoahMess68: sh*t man! Looks like I was right after all!!!

PeterI.M.H: U? right?! Hah! Good one. We all know Queens is going to win.

SloanOlder: Peter's right dude! Queens have been on a winning streak since the beginning of the season.

NoahMess68: No! F*ck that!!! My boy Red over here is going to destroy them fools!!!! Just you wait!

BANNER2: In your dreams dumba**!!

SloanOlder: Queens are getting the World Cup just give up!

June found herself frowning, if she remembered correctly the World Cup was held a few months ago. The Queen's where indeed an overbearing team but in the end, Red's held on and won with a last-minute shot. She believed it had something to do with the Queen's being too arrogant because of their winning streak.

It was quite a disappointment at the time too. Some people were even ready to riot at the stadium. It got so bad the police had to do a full investigation to see if the game was rigged.

R.F.W12: What are you talking about? The Reds won...

NoahMess68: Hah! Look at that!!!

GrammarNazi: U mean will win

PeterI.M.H: Pfttt we got another loser clinging on to the hope of Reds winning!

June was ready to spit back a sharp retort when she noticed something strange. The date on the computer it wasn't right. It said it was July thirteen 2018 exactly three months before she died.

'What? Why's the date like that?'

She checked the computer besided her and to her surprise, it said the same thing. She even checked a third to make sure the ones she looked at didn't have the wrong date. Yet every single one she looked at displayed the same date and time.

'What's going on? Doesn't that mean my original body still alive? I-I'm still alive? No, no let's calm down that's not important right now. I need to focus on the opportunity in front of me.'

June may not have had any skills that helped before this realization but now she did. In her previous life, she was known to be quite the hustler. With her way of reading people and sweet talking, she was able to trick plenty of people.

All she had to do was get a nice amount of suckers to bet big on Queens. It shouldn't be too hard as everyone already believed in Queens winning. The problem came with increasing the number of people.

'I'll start with boasting about the Reds. I'll come off as just another fan that way.'

R.F.W12: Nah Reds are totally going to win. I have faith in them, unlike all U bandwagons.

NoahMess68: Sh*t! U tell them!!!

BANNER2: Noah shut the h*ll up!

PeterI.M.H: Right and pigs fly

Once they started reacting June took the chance to slide in a casual belittling comment. Rattle them up enough to keep their attention but not to the point of getting fuming mad. She needed to lead them into coming up with the right come back.

R.F.W12: Hey, I'm just saying. Queens can't win forever.

NO669: Says who?!

SloanOlder: If you're so confident put your money where your mouth is.

She smirked at the screen. They took the bait hook, line, and sinker. Now she needed to provoke them a little more. It would get the attention of more people.

R.F.W12: Nope

NoahMess68: wha?!?!?

BANNER2: pffftt! Chicken!

R.F.W12: I just thought there's no reason for me to bet. I mean I'm going to win regardless plus what's the point of betting alone? What do I get out of this?

NoahMess68: OHHHH!!!

GrammarNazi: Hmmm, that makes sense anyone else want to bet?

PeterI.M.H: h*ll yeah! Show this fool the truth!

BANNER2: I'm game!!

SloanOlder: Why not! Wouldn't mind putting people in their place!!!

NO669: Sure

'Still not enough.'

R.F.W12: Hmm...

SloanOlder: Getting cold feet??

BANNER2: Lolololol

R.F.W12: It's just you guys are so confident that my Reds are going to lose. I feel like just a few people isn't enough.

PeterI.M.H: U must have balls of steel! Are you trying to be in debt to us???

BANNER2: Lolololloll

R.F.W12: I'm just saying plus what does it matter to you? You're the one getting money, that is if Queens win. But I understand if you're too scared.

PeterI.M.H: scared?!

SloanOlder: Let's go on a live server then. There'll be plenty of people and we can all watch together.

'SloanOlder you are truly helpful.'

BANNER2: HAHAHA don't be mad when U lose!!!

R.F.W12: Well if we're going that far it's only appropriate to bet high right?

GrammarNazi: How high?

R.F.W12: Nothing below a hundred.

NoahMess68: Woah idk about that.

R.F.W12: Come on there's nothing to worry about Noah. We practically have this in the bag. Have you seen the way Queens been playing lately? They're obviously tired.

BANNER2: That's it! F*ck a hundred nothing below two-fifty cocky b*st*rd!!!

NoahMess68: Only two-fifty?? Hah! Someone doesn't truly believe in Queens.

SloanOlder: Really Noah?

PeterI.M.H: Fuck it! After this, I'll be swimming in money! Nothing below Four-twenty then! Think U can pay that?!

R.F.W12: bet

'Thank you, idiots.'
