    Red, red, red.

    It was the only thing you could see while walking down the never-ending streets of Ghost City, and your eyes grew tired of seeing the colour appearing on every part of the city. Complete confusion begins to simmer as you wonder how taking a shortcut from the Mortal Realm winded you up... here, in the Ghost Realm.

    As you walked down the never-ending roads, you could see ghosts in all shapes and forms. Some hid their identities with masks in different shapes, shades, and colours. Some had peculiar features, such as eyes greater than your hands or nails as sharp as knives. Some even had animal heads of sorts as their own!

    As you continued walking, you stopped yourself as your eyes caught an imposing building whose walls, floors, and even corridors were painted with the perfect shade of ruby red from head to toe. 'The Gambler's Den' was its name. Fascinated by this building, you walked up the stairs with the other attracted ghosts inside.

    You look around in awe. Ghosts used gambling cups, dice, and cards in their hands at multiple tables inside the Gambler's Den. Bouncers were in every corner to avoid fights, and so were the gaming attendants who were helping a few customers out.

    In front of all the crowds of ghosts, a man, 'Hua Cheng’ was his name, and he was not only the owner of Ghost City, but he was also the owner of this place from the whispers you heard from a few ghosts, and how lucky they are to meet him since he doesn't come to the Gambler's Den often. He was sitting on a grand throne with stairs going up. Translucent red curtains hid his appearance, with a black eye patch concealing his right eye, and the other greyish-brown eye was looking down at the gambles in the Gambler’s Den.
