"A bet?” The one who appeared to be the largest and in charge frowned and glared at me. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m just talking about drinking? Is your constitution too weak to drink?” I suddenly asked.
“Drink? Hahaha… look at this guy!”
“He’s so small, he’d tip over with a drink.”
I used to be pretty fat. Naturally, that affects how much alcohol it took. One of the things I used to pride myself on was that it took a lot to get me drunk! Since then, I have three jobs worth of constitution. How could I not defeat these guys?
“What do you propose?” The man asked.
“A true man is a man who keeps his drink, right?” I offered, channeling the words of a certain pervert I met earlier that day.
“Hmph… of course!” The guy straightened up.
“So… to the truest men go the women.” I declared. “We drink, and the last man standing gets the women. All of them. You say how could I need four women. I say… how can you only handle four?”
Naturally, those words seemed to excite the man. He suddenly threw back his head and roared with laughter. The other men found the scene funny as well. The girls were looking at me a little angrily, particularly the two barmaids I casually threw into the deal, but I had to word things this way in order to get to these men.
“Alright, the winner goes the women.” He nodded.
“And the loser pays for all the beer and the inn damages!” I added quickly.
He snorted and then gave a decisive nod. “Very well! I wasn’t planning on paying at all, but I like the idea of making you pay better! Innkeeper, bring us beer!”
Two glasses were quickly brought out and filled. My girls watched worriedly, but I gestured for them to remain in a corner and to stay out of the way. The barmaids seemed to join them, leaving the innkeeper to bring out the beer on his own. Apparently, every man at the table decided to drink. If the one who remained conscious got all of the women, then naturally any of these men wanted to be the last one standing.
“Begin!” The man called out.
I drank down the beer in a single swallow. I never drank much at college, since I was only there part-time, but I had visited at least a kegger or two and knew the basics.
“Second!” He called out.
“Third!”
We drank round after round. Men started to fall out. As men collapsed, new men joined in. Everyone had been drinking for hours before I came, so the leader declared it “fair” that I had to drink out every man on his side. I didn’t complain a single bit, as if I had a choice in the matter.
Time dwindled on, and the leader became so intoxicated than all he could do was shout ‘next’, having long forgotten how many rounds there were. We were finally the last two sitting. Every other mercenary had been knocked out. I tilted in my chair, burping dizzily. He put on a grin.
“Hannneenuf?” He barked.
“Naww… onesmore…” I said, putting up two fingers.
We both took the next glass and drank, slamming them down in unison. A moment later, the chair scrapped and the massive man fell out of the chair and collapsed, unconscious. I peeked over at him with a raised eyebrow. Then, I let out a sigh.
“Well, it looks like I won.” I crossed my arms and laughed.
The innkeeper and barmaids looked at me like I was a monster.
To gamble his girls on a bet, no matter how much of a "sure thing" it is, shows the MC to be extremely scummy. I really don't like this development.
yeah, betting them like they're s*x dolls, that must be why they're slaves, a guy comes up to me and asks me to borrow my wife, i'd go crazy, and i don't think it's just me many other guys out there
Not scummy, smart really? It was either bet or a brawl with a bunch of drunken barbaric bastards and risk getting hurt or arrested before the tournament that is tomorrow.
@OldSoul211
Do we care more for the tournament than our girls? No it could go to hell after all he dont even need to ve a lord and go through al dat sh*t in the first place it would make so much troubles in the future and al only because he was asked to do it
Very well! I wasn’t planning on paying at all, but I like the idea of making you pay better! Innkeeper, bring us beer!
And at that point you realize that he is a true gentleman who will honor the deal with you ...
I stopped reading at that point imagining the MC winning the bet, the minions of the bandit hitting him from behind, and he waking up the next day to find the girls broken into in front of him and all his items taken ...
*Facepalm* Didn't the story start out with him confessing to a girl, because he 'worked with' her for a project (then go on to mention school related topics, like full marks, and after school beating by school jocks.)? If he didn't go to college, what other explanation is there? Work related project, and he went to her school to confess? She paid/asked him?
Edit: Reading it again, and yeah, it implied they were paired up for a school project, and he did most of the work.
The girls need to punish him and Not In a good way...
He said. "I care for them or they already important to me" but here he is. Even you are sure to win you still can't make your woman a part of a bet.
I know you are coward,stupid and idiot but at least have some guts. Other people are already stepping your face and trying to kill you.
but still hypnotizing yourself that "bottom line" that you cannot across because your upbringing and mentally back from Earth.
I'm already unhappy because many flaw of the story. The first 50chaps. I still can take your idiocy coz your just migrated. But now I think it's time to grow up and adjust your mentally about your surroundings.
Did not care about girls he did not bark always about being faithful and loyal man towards his girls him betting them on a gamble is not what faithful loyal man would do would he no even a man who does not love his wife only sees her as a meatbag would not do this because he has his pride.
Mc being this level of wimpy does make the story feel like trash I don't have any problem with the other things in this story even there are potholes and things which may be logically incorrect or may seen as written willfully I can tolerate it because I can't nitpick every single problem in the story there will also be some mistakes to drive the plot or whatever but mcs charector till now without ounce of development put me off so I would like to ask author to make some changes regarding the mc even a little so he can be bearable
I don't even know what to say...
Man this mc is getting worse. He is treating them like legitimate objects now. Well I'll keep going and see if he gets better.
there's a very big hangover coming
He'll have a new 'feared' title of say 'Master of Drinks' or 'The godly belly' XD
