The Darkest Bet I've Ever Made | Scary Stories From The Internet

[@Darksomnium]

Hey everyone! I hope you had a good weekend! here is a new video for you while i finish up borrasca and another long story for you. Let me know what you think!

[@artemisdate]

Thank you for always giving me something awesome to listen to at work! I appreciate all of your hard work! 😁

[@Darksomnium]

@@artemisdate have a good day at work! :) and thank you!

[@Deqster]

Hyyype! Good morning

[@Gabriel-of-YouTube]

I bet this is one terrifying...

[@barbaracordova7574]

Hope your weekend was awesome! Thank you for working so hard for us!!

[@templar19]

Luckily for the protagonist, the antagonist doesn't bother following her own rule about answering ONE question per hand.

[@TheRabidRabbit1]

So happy someone else commented this!

[@TheBiggyJMan]

I think he built up questions by not asking during some hands

[@jbear3478]

I wish they had focused more on this

[@misdafireinfexus5828]

I don't think it was a hard set rule. Just motivation

[@awakeneddio6012]

"Whats the next card after both of us are dealt or hand?" Would have been worth a shot. Probably would have been shot down though.

[@BrotherGrimm1013]

It's giving old Voltaire vibes. "To the gentlemen, I'm Miss Fortune. To the ladies, I'm Sir Prize"

[@Lord_Xonaz]

"But call me by any name, anyway it's all the same"

[@syncopatedglory]

i'm the fly in your soup! i'm the pebble in your shoe!!

[@louiuzi4036]

Dude she killed that role! You both were awesome!

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

Yeah, she's amazing too. Despite disliking her character in these two stories I've heard, her performance was powerful and compelling.

[@nevermorehollows]

Absolutely agree! She’s awesome!

[@Creasingvermin1]

Genuinely the best narrator I’ve heard. Need something to listen to on the way to work? Check. Doing cardio? Check. Need to listen to something after a long day? Check. Unmatched quality

[@RezTheKing]

Fr I listen to this when I'm working

[@MissNewBooty101]

Agreed

[@jbear3478]

No one is doing cardio

[@anaemcfarland7129]

I listen to him for sleep he’s the best ❤

[@dominicgalloway4481]

When I first heard him years ago, I thought he was only okay. After coming back, he's now my absolute favorite. He puts serious work into not only the narrations, but the sound effects make it a different experience.

[@chainreaction8977]

DS was born to be a story teller... His kids are going to have a magical childhood.

[@NamasW24]

Oh god yeah ❤️

[@gigim.9742]

And unforgettable nightmares, should they opt for a scary story 😉

[@josemontes9105]

Magical or terrifying 🤣🤣🤣😂

[@notcomfortable_here]

im pretty sure hearing “my wife has been peeking at me from around corners” as a child would’ve killed me

[@JadedBelle]

Imagine the backyard camping sleepovers at Lil Somni's house! Every kid in the neighborhood will be passing around the lore of that experience for years.

[@stephenstevens6573]

Interesting! Redemption bathed in horrible cost. Choice vs. Fate. Action vs sloth. Thank you, Ronnie.

[@kbee225]

The scales of fortune will forever be balanced. Like the poem O Fortuna says, "lady fortune, like the moon is forever changing, ever waxing, ever waning".

[@Spawnamvs]

This story resonates with me in a lot of ways. Losing someome and letting your life be a product of chance and accepting what life has for you because you cant/dont know how to take control of your life. It's rough but the best thing you can do is move forward and find yourself despite what life throws at you

[@yesterdayitrained]

Very well said.

[@kbee225]

I'm glad this story resonates, but if this story has a moral it is the opposite, you can't give up just because of one bad incident. You still have to keep the will to live life to the fullest.

[@Spawnamvs]

@@kbee225 I agree with you. You push through no matter what. Life doesn't stop because of a traumatic event and it's up to you to dictate how you move forward with the life after adversity. It's just that the feeling of limbo that resonated with me

[@paranoiaproductions1221]

Taking control of your life isn't possible. Your life is fundamentally a result of choices made for you, that you did in your teenage years, chance and factors that you aren't aware of. My life was decided by schools I couldn't go to as I could've gotten permanently injured or worse. And a 14 year old's understanding of higher education.

[@nevermorehollows]

For sure this one goes deep. The best stories are the ones that make you think and spark debate. This one definitely does that.

[@anydillybar2099]

This kind of story couldn't have come at a better time. Helps me get perspective on my own life happenings. Thank you for all you do Dark Somnium

[@firefury6053]

Please, please take care of yourself. There is only one you, Ronnie. Your subscribers will be here, take all the time you need. Loved this story, Romnex awesome as always. Blessings upon you & yours!! 🙏❤️

[@619timbercali]

It's not often I hear a story that makes me confront some internal stuff. My compliments to the writer. I've been feeling like I'm on an edge lately and, while my circumstances differ from the protagonist, I still gleaned insight from his plight. I'm going to take charge of my life before I let miss fortune rinse me. Thank you.

[@moms79]

I wish you all the best ♥

[@619timbercali]

@@moms79 thank you

[@jimmyelkordy3752]

Yeah this made me rethink my life and I need to stop sleeping on my aspirations and goals

[@AninomousUser]

this story motivated me more than those motivational podcasts

[@normalguycraig]

Rom absolutely BODIES her characters in these videos, every single time

[@kathrynewhitmore]

Perfect timing as always... I'll be entertained while I cook all afternoon, so for that, I owe you a massive thank you!!! I'm counting down the minutes until the next Borrasca is released!

[@Darksomnium]

oooo what are you cooking? I hope you have a great day! and borrasca should be out next week!

[@kathrynewhitmore]

@Darksomnium Bolognese sauce, & bechamel for lasagna and rice pudding!

[@NoneOne0106]

Send us the left overs !

[@kathrynewhitmore]

​@@NoneOne0106 I totally would!

[@anabea6809]

The best start to any week is here!!

[@Darksomnium]

wooo! thanks for coming by!

[@amandarhoads4640]

Agreed! 100% accurate!!! Legitimately the highlight of my week when DS posts!

[@torischwartz745]

Damn that story was super messed up like i get why it all happened to him but for her to come and play with his kid thats a straight slap to the damn face

[@oisinlynch8427]

I’m scared to wonder if the daughter unintentionally went into a contract rolling the dice

[@jimmyelkordy3752]

But why? I feel like she’s just there to fuck with him and remind him she’s still watching.

[@CREEPYxFACE]

Homegirl in the thumbnail literally looks like my friend. She's really sweet! ❤

[@Darksomnium]

haha thats awesome! :D

[@JohnSmithM2C]

how do you handle looking at her

[@winstonwins1096]

Heard this once before. Hard listen for me since it hits a bit close to home. Though, that's also what makes it one of my all time faves. Wonderful job again DS and crew.

[@katieweasley4]

Today is my birthday! This feels like an extra special birthday treat!!! What perfect timing! 😎💕

oooo happy birthday!

[@Abaddontepes666]

So pumped for every new story you put up, and to all the other voice actors and actresses you all do really amazing, I'm very happy to have stumbled onto your channel 4 years ago now

[@Croc-eb6cf]

This character was so relatable. Giving up on life, and mourning lost family.

[@jamiebumgarner125]

Thank you DS. That story touched me. My whole family has passed in the last 10 years except for my daughter. It made me realize I've been letting other things control me. I'm going to quit just rolling with the flow. Wish me luck😉

[@infernalcognition15]

Damn i got the same vibe too with the "I met the devil" story. The one where a guy meets a beautiful woman at a bar that turned out to be Lucifer. Love your stories, man! I can't wait for the next part of Borrasca to come out!

[@adamgarcia7758]

I’ve been watching some of your old videos, I always appreciate your hard work!

[@Darksomnium]

oooo do you have any of the older stories you like?

[@adamgarcia7758]

@@Darksomnium it’s hard to choose but my personal favorites are Tommy Taffy and the girl that the universe forgot; both had a sense of realism in terms of its themes. Tommy Taffy is a soul crushing written story but one that keeps the listener on the edge as if they were actually witnessing the traumas endured throughout the story.

[@Oniwelder69]

Every time I see you have a new post, I get so excited. I listen to you to help past the time at work a lot. Especially now that I hurt my ankle. Keep it up! I'm never let down by any of them!

[@tanveerahmedkhan3989]

The way you speak and enunciate words. I don't know how but they are intoxicating. I wish I could speak like that. Yet it's still pretty blissful to just relax and listen to you guys speak. Thanks for that. Have a good night.

[@Darksomnium]

wow thank you so much, im honored :)

[@lilgravy2651]

I graduated high school last Friday I’ve always struggled to keep friends they just keep moving to cities or other states and your videos have really helped me over the years especially on lonely nights so thank you keep up the good work dude

[@ArDeeMee]

Congratulations on your graduation! That’s a lot of hard work done. 🙏

[@xkaydv]

Hope you had a good graduation. I've dealt with being alone but that gets better

[@nicolita410]

Awww don't be too sad, you'll meet more friends/people in college. Congratulations 🎉

[@moms79]

Congratulations !!

[@imkindofsleepy9383]

Good job, you’re doing good bro ! And I know it’s tough moving so much and losing old connections over reasons you can’t control, it sucks to go through that, it’s sorta the hand you’re dealt with and anytime I thought about times I’ve been basically forced to move cause of my family situations I sorta get a little upset or bitter towards them as I’ve been in that situation countless times now, but all I wanted to say is it’ll all be okay in the end, you’ll make some connections eventually, they might not even be in-person ones but that’s okay too, just focus on your mental while you can rn and everything’s gonna be good later on

[@LiminalMan777]

He casually drops doing dark tower content. You're so cool. Dark Tower is definitely one of my favorite series

Hey Somnium !!!!! I am stoked for this video!

[@Darksomnium]

hey jessica! thanks so much for coming by! I hope you have a great day!

[@tribbybueno]

this was a really good one. I like when the gods of specific realms are used in horror. I remember that one story about the guy who met the gods out on the oceans on a fishing boat and it reminded me of that. Big big fan. Thank you very much!!! ❤

[@lcarsonvtech]

Hope your vacation was peaceful. You have a great presentation, which makes your stories easy to listen to.

[@emeryeverest2432]

Another wonderful story! I’m so thankful for every story you narrate for us. Please promise me that you’ll go to a doctor for a check up if you don’t feel better within a week or so! maintaining your health is so important, and being exhausted all the time is no good :(

[@CodyONeill-o2g]

This well elegantly done. You did a fantastic job Dark. And I needed this story just now. It really helped me get through my Monday night shift with a nice little eye opener. Thank you. Hope you’re enjoying your day man 😌

[@alfredosilva120]

Honestly love listening to new stories you do for those days I have to go into the office. Just so you know you help lots of people out just by doing what you love. Take time for yourself and enjoy your time off. Thank You for all you do.

The best and only narrator I listen to now. Listening to Dark makes hours of typing away less tedious 💯

[@joshc.9519]

I just finished this story and your commentary at the end and I would like to let you know how much I enjoy listening to you narrate. Your channel helps fill my day and keeps me company when no one is around. I hope you get to feeling better soon, don't forget to take a multivitamin daily😂

Dark Somnium I appreciate you for taking time to tell these stories. When I close my eyes and listen to you it's so discretionary that I can picture it in my mind.

[@markzill383]

Awesome job by both of you guys! Her voice really, really works with this kind of character! Throughly enjoyed!

[@yesterdayitrained]

DS, take time for yourself. Don’t push yourself beyond exhaustion if you’re already there. I think I speak for the vast majority (if not all) of your audience when I say, we care much more for you than your next upload. Please take care!

[@vouwelz]

Take care of yourself man, your narrations help me get through some tough times and I really appreciate you for that. Take care, and keep going!

Great job overall! RomNex sounded especially good in this narration. I love how thought provoking the stories you choose to read are as a rule, Ronnie, and I've never regretted subscribing to your channel.

I love dark somnium. I found him on Spotify looking for something to distract me at work. I immediately got hooked by his stories. I am now on my third playthrough of his works on Spotify. I can't get enough. Great work.

[@AninomousUser]

bro same found him on spotify and now on youtube. used to listen to dr no sleep before

[@UnholyCaesar]

@@AninomousUser Same bro. Dr No sleep is great. Dark somnium just takes his narration to a whole different level.

[@kbee225]

Another great narration of another great story, I love lady luck in this story. : She's not really a villain, it almost feels she's an anti-hero. Trapped for all eternity with not free will to exercise. She is bound and has no choice but to do the things she does and is jealous of humans for having the freedom of choice and gets angry when Reynolds chooses to live a life without exercising his free will. I wonder if she even controls chance or is just merely aware of the outcomes, somehow linked to each chance outcome. And if she did control the odds, she then choose to let Reynolds win the game. Even her taking her dad's life does not feel evil, just that chance needs to be balanced. If something good happens somewhere, something bad happens elsewhere, that is the nature of chance. So she had to balance the odds. She choose to do that to his dad so that she could give him what she promised. And even her acting cunning in it the end could be her trying to scare him once last time to make sure he never goes back to being his old self again.

[@shint9319]

Dark Somnium, thank you for just existing, you really helped me a lot here even though you don't know me

[@spadefish5146]

Loved the story as always! Please absolutely take as much time off as you need. Personally, I'd much rather wait longer to hear stories if it means you're not suffering for making them, and beyond that, you as a person and your health matter more. I hope you're feeling better soon and I hope your vacation is wonderful!!

I really enjoy coming to this channel whenever i feel like just listening to someone talk. You have very interesting stories and a good voice so it makes it easy to come back 😊

Been a long time since I listened to one of your stories, as always, beautiful narration and intresting story :) Ur like a staple in life lmao, I can return to your channel and always expect a great story and get absorbed into random worlds no matter what Also I was writing this as I was finishingbthe story, wtf is the end why 😭😭 Also, the giving your life away to chance, being too afraid to make choices so kinda waiting for something to happen (guess what, never will) that's heavy, hits home I need to make better choices Also about you kinda not feeling it, that's ok, do take your time, you uploading consistently, in such a high quality is impressive af, have fun :)

This reminds me a lot of Puss in Boots : The Last Wish. Death takes personal umbrage with Puss because of the fact that Puss didn’t value any of his nine lives and ran through them in the it takes most people to live just one life. So Death decides to maliciously deal with him personally. Justice like Ms. Fortune over here.

[@spaceninja1252]

I loved this nararation and really enjoy the stories where it boils down to just 2 people talking. It just feels more intense than running from monsters if the evil is across the table from you and you gotta talk it out and play a game against
