Back then 100 years ago in the year 2010, humanity and the world was normal. Everyone felt safe and happy but then a sudden laughter was heard around the world as a voice was heard changing the world and everyone's lives.
??- Mic check, Mic check. One..Two..Three. There we go, Hello World I'm sorry but it's time for a little game.
Let's start.
*A Clap was heard.*
(The world was going into lockdown as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happened, natural disasters around the world scared people but the thing that made it scarier were that... Those weren't natural disasters, but the powers of the Playing Cards.)
( In a day the world was destroyed, the governments tried to fight back sending the military and nukes but they had no effects on those monsters... but the voice came back.)
???- Jeez it's been a day and you guys are already almost dead let's see a total of 40% of humanity dead. That's disappointing but that's because He didn't really give you guys a chance.
(Nothing was heard but they felt it, they felt it smiling at them.)
???- Let's change this excuse of a world.
* A bright flash was shown as The Earth was transformed looking straight out of a fantasy novel.*
*Some people dna was altered making them no longer human but something different. Due to this whenever these different races had child with a human, their child was shun out being called a "Half-Race".*
???- There we go, I added some tweaks to help you guys. Let's see who can change the world and save humanity....
(People still struggled against the monsters and The Playing Cards but a man named Robert Mott noticed something in him which he named "Empath." With this discover, he showed that every person was born with it but different amount leading to a power gap. Empath being your souls energy allowed humanity to survive attacks and run and sometimes they managed to jump and kill some monsters with a price if you run out, you die so decided to not allowed usage of releasing it out but the best thing at the time was the creation of the Valkyries.)
(They were gifted Empath users, trained to survive and fight against the monsters since birth or being recruited. But instead of releasing out Empath they manage to infuse it into weapons making Spirit Weapons. A spirit weapon with enough Empath and if it can withstand it can make a Spirit Move allowing for the start for humanity comeback. Even with the Valkyries the Playing Cards were too much and wild but 20 years in 16 entities randomly appeared and divided the world into 4 kingdoms. 4 leaders in 4 kingdoms controlling the Cards. The leaders called the Royal cards were ruthless and ruled their kingdom with no mercy killing anybody they deemed as trash.)
It's Present Day In The Year 2110, and the kingdoms are called The Club, Diamonds, Spades and Hearts.
With each Kingdom have 1 Ace, King, Queen and Jack.
( We now see a young boy, who has been running away for all his life. A wanderer named Mari.)
*A light skin man with short spiky hair having a blondish hair color with red eyes, has an average build and overall looking below or exactly average.*
Mari- 5 more minutes...
*Mari starts to slowly fall to sleep as he remembers.*
Mari- WAIT I HAVE A JOB.
*Mari rushes up to get ready.*
*He puts on his outfit which is meant for outside and energy draining activities. Being a simple baggy pants and shirt and light jacket.
Mari- The taxes here are rough even harder when you're living in the Trash Corner.
(The Trash Corner is known as an area heavily known for its lower class residents.)
Mari- Let's see I make 10 Ren from this job after taxes that's 2 pieces.
Mari- Woah 2 pieces I'm gonna be eating fresh bread if I'm lucky and get a discount. I'm going to be eating luxuriously.
Mari- How long has it been since I been able to relax. It doesn't matter, let's get to work.
*Mari slowly starts making his way towards his job which is near a forest where dead Cards land in.*
*While walking he sees the town as he sees homeless begging for food and Ren. Trash flooding throughout the streets and fights spreading.*
Mari-( This town truly is trash. I don't think anything is happy here.)
Mari-( Maybe this town is affecting me negatively, I'm lucky enough to have a place to live but I would be homeless if it wasn't for Master though)
*At the moment he hears from the chaotic street an old lady crying as a group of thugs start harassing her.*
Mari-(Man what am I supposed to do, she doesn't deserve that.)
Old Lady- please... this is all I have.
Thugs- Cmon lady cough it all up, the taxes are rough for everyone.
Mari-(Even in this trash of a town I can't stand back and watch)
*In the heat of the moment Mari walks up and punches one of them.*
Thug- Who the hell are you?
Mari- Doesn't concern you but stop bothering this lady now.
Thug- You don't scare us.
*Mari moves in a flash chopping one at the side of the neck.*
Mari- Your turn.
*Mari focuses and in one move pushes the last thug into a wall.*
Old Lady- Thank you young man.
Mari- O-oh it's nothing, I know it's hard living here and how it feels to suffer.
*Mari looks up at the sun and figures out the time.*
Mari- OH CRAP IM LATE.
*Mari runs to his job but still got scolded.*
Mari- This line of work is tough.
*Mari is a Monster Body Collector. He collects the dead bodies of cards and other monsters deemed dangerous by the Royal Cards and sent to be killed by the Valkyries.*
Mari- ( It stinks here, and these monster... How can the Valkyries fight and kill them if I even saw one. I don't think I'll last a...minute.)
Mari-( Besides I have low Empath and all I have is this shovel.)
* As he thought that, he dropped the shovel on his foot*
Mari- (DAMN even though it's a shovel, it's sharp, it cut through my shoe.)
* Suddenly he got chills, his instincts telling him to Run.*
Other Workers- Huh Mari it seems like this body is... breathing...
*In a blink of an eye the body stood up and took the worker head.*
*The air froze as everyone around realized the situation that has arose.*
*In that moment panic affected everyone.*
Other Workers- RUN ITS STILL ALIVE!!!
*The Card started chasing everyone as blood was being splashed over the ground.*
Mari-( n-no no no no NO)
* Mari froze as he heard the yelling and the alarm. Shaking in fear. At soon as he got his act together, he came face to face... with A Playing Card.*
Mari-(it-it-its a 2 of Clubs, come on legs... GET MOVING.)
*The Card towered over Mari being over 10 feet tall as its muscles is shown being comparable to giants.*
* Mari starts running, gasping for air as he tries to get away from it but it was not enough as he felt it creeping.*
Mari-( Damn I'm getting tired, it's too fast I won't last another minute. I need to do what master taught me.)
*The cards gets faster as it uses its ability.*
Card- Got you...
*The card grabs Mari leg and throws him to the ground.*
Card- SO WEAK...
Mari- HELP
*The Card raised its hand up ready to crush Mari head. But suddenly a rock thrown by someone hits the Card.*
*In that little moment that it was distracted Mari uses that timeframe to rise up.*
Mari- It's time to lock in.
*Mari uses his arms to kick his legs up from the ground and hits the chin of the Card.*
*The Card starts smiling as it runs towards Mari.*
Mari- I'm not going to lose to someone as weak as you.
*Mari breathes in and closes his eyes. The mindless Card eager to fight runs as Mari hand suddenly goes to the middle of its body and pushes the Card back.*
*The Card coughed blood as is eyes widen.*
Mari- Master told me to be careful but I need to win.
*The Card runs to him again.*
Mari- Again?
*Mari prepares to counter again but suddenly the Card dodges it and gut punches Mari.
Mari-( DID IT LEARN.)
*Mari feels it walking towards him.*
Mari- (DID IT GET STRONGER??)
*The card hits the ground as Mari dodges around still on the ground.*
*Mari slowly gets up and takes a big gasp of air.*
Mari-( no-NO I WONT DIE, IF IMA DIE IMA KILL IT WITH ME.)
*Mari runs towards it sliding between its leg. Grabbing dirt while sliding. And throws it directly to its eyes.*
Mari-( DISTURB ITS SENSES AND NOW USE EVERYTHING I GOT.)
* Mari grabs the shovel moving it to get ready. While the Card is blinded, Mari put all his Empath into the sharpest point*
Mari-( This is tough, how does the Valkyries do this.)
*As soon as the Card eyes open, all he sees is Mari thrusting the shovel directly into its heart, pushing it forward and deeper.*
Mari- Damn it's over.
*Bloods starts coming out of his mouth as his cuts show up and blood spills from Mari body. And he drops down.
Mari-( I can't last anymore I forgot Empath is your souls energy so that's why non Valkyries don't use it. I'm all out.... I'm going to die.)
*We see Mari wake up in an all black room.*
Mari- Ugh, so this is it after all that. I'm Dead. Master would be pissed but a part of me is calm, I been running for so long.
?- So you give up on life.
Mari- I'm Dead so I don't have a choice do I.
?- What if you did?
Mari- Then I don't know
A water drop is heard repeatedly and the conversation continues.
?- If you say Yes I'll give you another chance of this hell of a life.
Mari- I must be a fool then.
?- Are you one. You didn't give me an answer.
Mari- I guess I am a Fool after all.
?- Good answer.
?- Then do you have to the will to defeat the enemies?
Mari- The enemies?
?- The leaders of all cards...
Mari- The Royal Cards...
?-So do you have the desire.
Mari- To help bring peace to the world. I will defeat them but how?
The Fool- You pique my interest. Welcome Mari I am The Fool and He has chosen you to get my powers so what do you say.
Mari- Your power!?
The Fool- Let's form a contract then. You get my powers and you will have to complete my request.
Mari- And what's that.
The Fool- Form Connections and gains the trust of the other users of the Tarots Cards.
Mari- But why?
The Fool- Like I said you need to defeat the enemies.
The Fool- With the powers of all the cards that's the only way to beat this game.
The Fool- So do we have a deal sir?
Mari- Deal.
The Fool- Good-luck
*Mari watches as a flash of light blinds him as he is blinded, he hears a familiar laugh and then he wakes up.*
The Fool- I know you can win the battle between those two.
