SSS-Ranked Skill in a New Filthy World-Chapter 61 A game

The box was filled with coins the girls had gathered since they began playing.

At first, the coins were split based on how much each girl had contributed. But now that Roman had joined, the total was divided equally among all eight of them and none of the girls complained.

"So, each round, everyone puts in one coin except the caller," Roman said, clarifying. "And if I challenge you and win, I take the whole pot and you also give me one extra coin, right?"

"Exactly," Luna nodded. "And if you’re wrong and I was telling the truth, I take one of your coins and retain being the caller"

Roman nodded again. "What if no one challenges?"

"If no one challenges and the caller is telling the truth, the game continues," Luna said. "The pot stays, and we add more coins next round. But if the caller was lying and no one challenged, the caller gets to take all the coins in the pot."

"Huh... that’s clever," Roman said.

"Oh, and one more thing," Luna added. "If you tell the truth three times in a row being challenged, you lose half of all your coins as a penalty. The game isn’t fun if no one takes risks."

Each of them had ten coins. Since Luna was the caller, the other seven players each added a coin to the box, seven coins total.

Luna picked up the dice cup, gave it a few shakes, and set it down with a light tap. She peeked underneath, then covered it again.

To her left was Roman, who would go first. She looked at him with a sly grin.

"Two," she said.

It was a six-sided die. Rolling a two was rare, which made it likely she was bluffing or maybe she was just trying to trick them.

If Roman challenged her and she was lying, he’d win all seven coins and an extra one from Luna — giving him 17 coins, more than the others. But if she was telling the truth, he’d have to give up a coin and drop to 8 coins.

He thought about it for a second, then chose the safer option. "Pass."

"Anyone else?" Luna asked.

The other girls looked around, then slowly shook their heads. No one challenged then Luna opened the cup, and the numbers on it were two and one; she had a three, and a smile was on her face as she grabbed the entire coin and handed the cup to Roman.

’She was lying, damn...’

Luna now had 17 coins, and she placed one inside the box, and the others did the same; Roman proceeded to shake the cup and then took a peek; the number was shocking, double six.

A smile formed on his face as he called the number, "Two"

All the girls knew he was trying to do the same thing, there was no way he rolled a two after what just happened.

The room went quiet for a second.

Roman had just called "Two,"

The exact same number Luna had called before. Everyone looked at him with narrowed eyes.

He had a small smile on his face, the kind that made you wonder if he was confident or just bluffing really well.

They were all thinking the same thing.

Was he copying Luna’s move? Was he bluffing too? Or... was he really lucky enough to roll a two?

Luna leaned forward, arms folded under her chin, watching him closely now.

The rest of the girls exchanged glances. Liora almost raised her hand but then pulled it back with a quiet sigh.

"Pass," she said.

One by one, they passed too. No one wanted to risk it. Roman’s expression was too calm, too casual.

Luna, however, hesitated. Her fingers tapped her knee. She had just been in that same spot and bluffed her way into winning seven coins. It felt like Roman was doing the same.

But what if he wasn’t?

He looked at her, his smile still there, but his eyes weren’t giving anything away.

"I pass," she said at last, and Roman’s smile turned into a smirk.

Roman grinned and opened the cup slowly like he was unveiling treasure.

Two dice sat side by side, both showing a six.

The room broke into groans and laughter.

"No way!" Liora shouted, "I knew you were lying"

"You couldn’t have rolled a two just after what happened but it was a perfect bluff?!" Reina said, clearly annoyed but impressed.

Roman casually reached into the box gathered up the coins, seven of them — and slid them into his little pile. He didn’t say anything, but the look he gave Luna was enough.

"Lucky," Luna mumbled under her breath, but she was smiling too.

The game was turning out to be interesting.

Roman placed the cup down again, this time sliding it to the next girl on his left which was Anya.

She picked it up and gave it a gentle shake, peeked under, and then sat up a little straighter.

She looked around and cleared her throat softly.

"Five," she said confidently.

The number wasn’t too low, not too high. A safe bet. Everyone leaned in slightly.

Anya was now starting to look nervous, twisting her fingers in her lap. Maybe she wasn’t bluffing — or maybe she was just really good at pretending.

This time, Luna raised a hand.

"I challenge," she said.

Everyone tensed and turned to Anya who had a disappointed look on her face.

She didn’t say anything and lifted the cup.

It was a four and a one, she had been telling the truth.

Luna sighed and handed over a coin to Anya, who now had a smile on her face; she didn’t say anything but was happy to win a challenge.

And since Anya was right, she got to remain the caller for another round; the game was certainly interesting, and they played until all of them ran out of coins, and finally, Anya won the game.

Roman and Luna, who won big and were favorites to win, actually lost when Anya told a lie and got away with it; the three of them were the last players, and Anya finally won.

...

"I’m bringing the snacks" Luna spoke as she and Liora walked into the kitchen.

The girls came back with snacks, which were some kind of cookies, but it was certainly delicious, which they all ate before lying down.

Two rooms in the house belonged to Luna and her mother, but the girls usually slept on the ground after everything, and it was already past midnight.

"Roman, you can sleep in my room. We usually sleep on the floor, but you might not like it, so you can use my room," Luna spoke.

"Really, alright then, which is your room," Roman said as he sat up, and Luna pointed to her room; it was already cleaned out since she was expecting all of them to visit except Roman.

Roman stood up and walked inside the room; it was just like Anya’s room, not a lot of stuff, just a bed, wardrobe, and then a table that had some things on top.

’This night was overall interesting, but the best is yet to come, so how would I approach this...I can just simply tell them to come, but there are seven girls out there’

’If I have sex with all of them, then that clears out everyone I’m obligated to have sex with, then I can just roam around having fun till the awakening ceremony’ Roman spoke as he sat on the bed with a smile on his face.

’I should mentally prepare myself for all seven of them...if I sleep with all of them, is it going to be called an eightsome?’ Roman chuckled as he thought about it.

"I’m really tired, but I’m happy" Anya spoke.

"We all know you won; you can stop rubbing it in our faces, but what I can’t get over is the fact that Roman is sleeping on my bed," Luna spoke with a smile on her face.

"Maybe we should all sleep in your room; we can sleep on the ground while he sleeps on the bed," Reina spoke.

"True, that’s a good idea, and he sleeps naked most of the time," Anya said.

"Really, wait...then we shouldn’t sleep there; I’ve never seen a male stuff, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to control myself," Luna spoke.

"So you want to miss a possible opportunity just because you aren’t sure you’ll be able to control yourself? What if he lets us," Liora said.

"You think he’ll going to let all seven of us, or just you four, since he hasn’t had sex with you yet? I can’t bear knowing you are having sex, and I’m looking at you," Melissa spoke.

"I don’t think that would happen," Mira spoke; she was the quiet one out of all of them and hardly speaks.

"Why do you think so?" Reina asked her sister.

"Do you think he can have sex with four of us all at once, it’s impossible" Mira spoke.

’Turns out I didn’t need to do anything’ Roman muttered in his head as he stood by the door.
