Elian Voss, a man with a hobby and addiction for Asian novels, worked remotely from his home as a programmer, whether it was video games or applications for companies. One day, while working on a rather large project, an AI that could change current technology, collapsed. Due to his habit of working and reading a lot every day, he barely rested, and his brain was under a lot of pressure. Unaware, while working on this project, something inside him woke up, and at that moment he collapsed falling deeply asleep. Shortly thereafter, his sister, as usual, went to bring him his food to his room and found him unconscious in his seat. After a check-up at a hospital center, Elian Voss showed no signs of life and was buried in his grave. However, no one realized that Elian Voss was not dead, but in a special state. At that time, humanity did not have the ability to know in what state Elian Voss was. Over the following years, the world experienced transcendental changes. Even, humanity was almost extinct due to a great unprecedented invasion of terrifying creatures, where modern weapons could do nothing against this type of creatures. Just when humanity thought it was going to cease to exist, suddenly subjects with abilities and powers that defied all logic that existed at that time began to appear and, thanks to that, humanity was able to save itself. Thus, humanity knew that it had an extremely powerful hidden power and every time a person awakened this type of power, they entered a state of sleep as if their vital signs disappeared. And so hundreds of years passed, but humanity forgot about a case that occurred a long time ago, Elian Voss still buried in his grave. What will happen when he comes out of that state and wakes up? Discover it in this exciting story!

In a society of absolute surveillance, loyalty isn’t just expected—it’s enforced. Every citizen has a place in the State Nation’s strict hierarchy, modeled on a deck of cards. Kael Ghost, a newly appointed Joker, is among the few tasked with enforcing this order, yet he’s also a prisoner of it, stripped of identity to serve as an anonymous observer and enforcer. When Kael discovers hidden secrets—whispers of rebellion, forbidden tech, and unsettling truths about the Jokers—he begins to question everything he knows. In a world where loyalty is a cage and freedom is a threat, even a single misstep could bring down the entire house of cards.

Dragonic Scales RR In a world where duels determine everything from power to prestige, Jarek stands at the crossroads of revolution. His unique ability to craft cards, specifically tailored to a duelist’s soul, makes him a rare and dangerous player in an underground system controlled by corporate monopolies. These corporations dominate the legal production and distribution of cards, making it nearly impossible for rogue creators like Jarek to thrive. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is about to change that. The story begins with Jarek trading his custom-crafted cards to Benji, a nervous young duelist whose soul card—Chaos Rabbit of Trickery—has great potential but lacks the necessary support. Jarek sees an opportunity in Benji, not just to test his creations, but to use him as part of a much larger plan. The annual Card Kings tournament is approaching, a high-stakes event where the winner gains a coveted prize: the freedom to legally produce and distribute their own cards without interference from the corporations. For Jarek, this tournament represents his chance to dismantle the system that keeps independent card creators in the shadows. By partnering with powerful duelist and others, he plans to showcase the power of his custom-made cards and disrupt the carefully controlled market. But the tournament is no easy feat—it’s a brutal, cutthroat competition where duels are not just about winning, but survival. And with some of the most powerful duelists and corporate-backed teams entering the fray, the stakes have never been higher. Jarek’s strategy is to introduce chaos—literally. His custom cards, like Moonlight Chaos, turn seemingly weak, multiplying rabbits into rampaging, unstoppable forces, reflecting the unpredictable nature of his approach. He knows that if his partners can make a strong showing in the tournament, his reputation as an underground card creator will explode, drawing more attention to his abilities and challenging the monopolies. As the tournament progresses, alliances are made and broken, duels are fought in brutal arenas, and Jarek must not only outwit his opponents but also navigate the dangers of the underground world. If he can pull off his plan, he’ll gain not just the freedom to create, but the power to reshape the entire dueling world. However, failure means more than just losing—it could mean the end of his career, his freedom, and possibly his life.
