Arcana of the Forsaken

One night, black tarot cards begin appearing in the hands, mailboxes, and locked rooms of chosen individuals across the world—each branded with a name already etched into fate. At midnight, the chosen are dragged into The Covenant, an inter-dimensional survival game of horror instances, each ruled by a sentient tarot card. Clear the trial bound to your card, or become part of the next deck. The cards are not random. They are judgments. Criminal psychologist Liang Zeyan receives The High Priestess (Upright)—keeper of hidden truths. Calm, precise, and unreadable, he has built a career profiling fractured minds while concealing his own shadow, Yanluo—ruthless, hyper-aware, and violently protective. Inside The Covenant, Yanluo grows stronger, as if the system recognizes him. Psychology student Shen Wuyou draws The Fool (Reversed)—traditional tarot often symbolizes recklessness or foolish risk. But in his case, it represents a man who walks toward the abyss to measure its depth. Detached and unsettlingly perceptive, he studies each lethal instance as if it were a puzzle box. Where others see horror, he sees structure. Where others panic, he experiments. As trials tied to The Lovers, The Devil, and The Tower force betrayal and revelation, Liang’s calculated protection of Shen deepens into obsession. Meanwhile, fragments of a buried myth resurface: the seventy-eight cards are shards of a shattered ancient consciousness—the Arcana Entity—once divided to stop it from overwriting reality. The Covenant is not a game. It is a reassembly ritual.

From Villain to Virtual Sweetheart: The Fake Heir’s Grand Scheme(BL)

Oops! The foolish real young master had run away!!! The title of the book… Micah had everything anyone could possibly envy, a gentle mother, a supportive father, and two doting older sisters. His family business dominated the capital with its high-technology products, and he was raised with a silver spoon from birth. Life was perfect. Until one day everything crumbled when a young man appeared, claiming to be the real young master. The classic case of swapped at birth… Panicked and heartbroken, Micah, the fake heir, fought desperately to hold onto his family and fortune. From Bad-mouthing and spreading rumours to initiating misplaced hatred toward the real young master, he plotted financial pitfalls and implicated his family business in progress. Not to mention his backstabbing and selling the classified information to a rival company. “What the actual f..?” Micah stared at the book, seething with anger. He was practically a villain out of a melodrama. He would never be like that! Which vengeful ghost had written this book?! “Where is my knife?!” He needed to show this so-called author the true meaning of vengeance! Even if he couldn’t get his hands on him, at the very least, he could undermine all the nonsense that was written in his book! Whether would he really be this mentally handicapped as described in the book remained a mystery, but please could someone explain the rest of the book to him? Those madmen! Those Degenerated Gongs! How could they torment the cheerful sunny Shou and twist him into an obedient meek little puppet just to satisfy their sick desires?! “I, Micah Ramsy, swear to protect my new brother from those psychos and hungry wolves!” Thus begins the journey of the fake heir, hell-bent on keeping those scums away from his sweet brother.

S-Class Esper is a Master of Chaos

Ding! [Profile blocked from viewing.] If Yujin had to choose a moment in time when his life started spiraling downhill, it would be this one. Though, that's his misconception since he refuses to take responsibility for his own actions due to his inferiority complex. None-the-less, the following events that are about to unfold are definitely not his fault. Then again, if he were gifted with an offensive power rather than a defensive one, maybe none of this would have happened? But that's just speculation on his part. Who could blame him for attempting to steal an S-ranked item that coincides with his power? He surely wouldn't, then again he's heavily biased. Not that it should matter since he failed to get his hands on it, thanks to a certain anonymous someone. But apparently it does. If he knew that it would piss off their King, he wouldn't have. He very much likes the fact that his head is attached to his body and would like to keep it that way. However, after the King demands Yujin to uncover where this S-ranked item is, he discovers there's a lot more sinister plots happening behind it. Life should be as simple as espers destroying monsters and saving the world. Yet life also happens to bite Yujin in the ass more times than he can count, so maybe he isn't all that trustworthy. *** “Shouldn’t you be looking for a guide?” The question slips out before Yujin can think better of it, and gestures at his own eyes as an example. The guy tilts his head but doesn't answer. Instead he avoids the question all together, “You worried I'll go crazy here?” Yujin squints his eyes, “Uh, duh.” What kind of a dumb question is that? “I'm kind of on a stealth mission,” he waves a hand and gestures to the room, “And if an esper goes on a rampage and draws attention, it wouldn't exactly be stealthy anymore.” “Not exactly stealthy if I caught you, though. Right?” He drops his arms to his sides and pushes off of the threshold to step further inside of the room. Well, he's annoying. [50 power stones = 2 bonus chapters]
