These cards determine power, status, and destiny. The strongest wield high-ranking cards—Aces, Kings, and Queens—while the weak are doomed to insignificance.

As hidden conspiracies unfold and enemies lurk in the shadows, Noir must outplay the gods of fate in a high-stakes gambit where one wrong move could mean annihilation.

L'année 2056, dans une ville de la région Yuan Jiang Su Jin. Au sommet d'un appartement résidentiel en ruine de six étages se trouve un adolescent vêtu d'un gilet de combat, de pantalons militaires et de bottes de combat en alliage. Sur son dos est accroché un bouclier hexagonal et équipé d'un couteau de combat ombre-sanglante. Il est assis là silencieusement au bord du toit. À ce moment-là, le ciel étincelant brillait et il y avait une respirabilité rafraîchissante dans l'air qui soufflait vers lui. Cependant, il n'y avait que silence au sein de la ville en ruines et déserte, avec parfois un hurlement qui fait manquer un battement à votre cœur.

Arthur is a single male from the US who played an eroge for almost a year and dedicated most of his fortune to it's gacha function. His goal ? Being the first, above even the creator and devs of the game. But one question, once he completed the current content available on the game, why did he woke up in the middle of nowhere ? - Author's note : This story contains heavy sex scenes, more than three chapters each, and somewhat regularly. They will also start somewhat soft and slowly approach more uncharted territories, going through a lot of tags that can be seen on adult sites, positions and further kinks if not fetishes. I do plan to make it somewhat enjoyable for everyone, and if you don't like a certain scene, you're free to skip it as there won't be any story text related in them, and if there is, it will be minimal to the point where it can be ignored. There isn't a specific publication dates for the chapters, I'll just post them once I finish writing them, can go to three to four chapter a day, to even zero for a few of them or during festivities, as I don't know what tomorrow is made of and I am certainly not a professional at this. Lastly, I hope you find your pleasure beyond this introduction and what lays, waiting for you, further in the story !

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

Ciel is an esper from the now destroyed last stronghold of humanity, Bastion City. The city had survived long past the dreaded Judgment Day, when eternal flames suddenly engulfed the earth and the ghastly fallen appeared. Such an event served as a catalyst for a surge in the supernatural and mystical activities and now monsters and aberrations alike infest the world, morphing into yet another threat which humanity must combat in order to survive within their new reality. Two years after its destruction, Ciel, along with the last of humanity, find themselves beaten and all but defeated. Desperate to change this outcome, Ciel deploys one of the few tricks left at his disposal, that being his ability to manifest each of the major arcana cards into the real world, and successfully regresses to the past. However due to his unstable power his soul fails to withstand the arduous journey back and shatters into twenty two pieces. These pieces each represent a major arcana card which have been given shape as clones. If Ciel ever hopes to reach and surpass the strength his future self wielded as well as accomplish his wish of helping his previous mentor, he must now take it upon himself to hunt down each clone and become whole again. Such a task will not be easy, for the clones not only hold pieces of himself but of his old power as well. Beyond that each is ready for the bloody battle that awaits, that of hunter and prey. While Ciel is occupied attempting to complete the daunting task set before him, his previous mentor has already started her new life as an Officer of NSRA, the agency responsible for the eradication of monsters within Bastion… Just how will these two fates collide?
