In the dimly lit casino, Jake's hand trembled as he stared at his cards. He had always been a decent poker player, but tonight, something strange was happening. As he glanced at his opponents, he noticed an odd sensation—a tingling in his eyes.


With each hand dealt, Jake's vision seemed to sharpen, revealing the faintest outlines of his opponents' cards. At first, he dismissed it as a trick of the light, but as the game progressed, he couldn't deny the truth: he had X-ray vision.


With this newfound ability, Jake felt invincible. He could see through bluffs, decipher the strongest hands, and anticipate his opponents' moves before they made them. The chips piled up in front of him as he effortlessly dominated the table.


However, as the night wore on, Jake began to realize the dark side of his gift. He saw the desperation in the eyes of his opponents as he stripped them of their hard-earned winnings. Guilt gnawed at him, but the lure of easy money was too strong to resist.


In the end, Jake walked away from the table a wealthy man, but the victory felt hollow. He knew that his X-ray vision had come with a price—a loss of integrity and the tarnishing of the game he once loved. Naturtally, his mind drifted to new ways to make this new gift open the world around him.
