In a world where destiny is sealed at birth, every individual bears a Card Sigil, a mystical mark that determines their status, power, and fate. Society is governed by the Codex Arcana, an ancient law that divides humanity into four suits—Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, and Spades. The higher the card rank, the greater the authority, while low-ranking individuals serve beneath them. But among these structured hierarchies, there exists a forbidden anomaly—Jokers. Feared and hunted for their unpredictable abilities, Jokers are seen as a threat to the world's balance. The elite Grand Arcana Academy trains the chosen ones, shaping them into warriors, strategists, and rulers who uphold the Codex. But when a young boy, marked as a Joker, emerges from the shadows, the entire system begins to waver. With danger lurking in every corner and the weight of an unjust fate on his shoulders, he must forge his own path. Will he be the world's salvation or its greatest catastrophe? The game has begun—The Arcane Gambit is in play.

When Hobart reached the deepest part of the enigmatic library, he heard the slimy sound of thousands of tendrils brushing against the pages. In this eroded world, humanity lives amidst the remnants of pollution left by the Old Gods. Hobert soon discovered that the library's collection was far beyond what any mortal could withstand: pages from the "Necronomicon" surged with black blood inside a glass jar, the script of the "King in Yellow" grew fungal fuzz on the pages, and even a crimson single eye throbbed in a jar on the forbidden shelves of the seventh section. "Superpowers? Just a side effect of glimpsing the truth." But each superpower gnawed away at his sanity. Crisis followed crisis: the burgeoning tumor library in the subway tunnels, the "Worm Codex" that wrote the fates of the living. When Gu Yuan finally unraveled the deepest mystery, he was met with the awakening of R'lyeh from light-years away. "Welcome home," echoed three hundred voices across the library's dome, as the shelves began to seep seawater, and all the books flipped their pages simultaneously, producing a sound no human vocal cords could make... Now, the closing bell has rung. You hear a knocking from the depths of the ocean, where the Old Ones dwell.

This is a story of a guy who loses everything, and then gets it back. Same old new world story, just a different kind of story teller. *** They took away our hunter tags. They had us grow our hair. They gave us a new brand, when we were over there. They staged us out of Dragur, East of the Olim Horn. I guess they call us Slaves, but no one calls us much anymore. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. Karn brought Sorrow. Pookie brought Fear. Milk brought the fly boys. They did work in Undia. I worked mostly clandestine. Some Legends I should not say. We played with better wands. I could use the extra pay. Did Mara give the order? Did venom pay the way? They said we were slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. This was before HALO, and Codex was king. Hej atop the rider, he never felt a thing. When our rider caught a spell, and both the mages killed. It pitched us over sideways on some cold Sylph hill. My back felt like it was broken, my legs I could not feel. I kept on slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Torin, unofficially we train. I remember all their faces. They dream about me still. I guess I'm slaying demons, but it's kind of hard to tell. There no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I speak the cold logistic, that old boys speak so well. Veni, Vedi, Vici. I'll see you in Hel. Maybe it's bravado, or an unspeakable guilt. That village, they were demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't wanna to do it anymore. I've done plenty. What is one more? -Corb Lund *** Come guess me this riddle. What beats shire leaves and fiddle? What is hotter than pleasures touch, and whiter than cream? What best wets his whistle? What is clearer than crystal? What is sweeter than honey and stronger than steam? What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk? What is the elixir of life and philosopher's stone? And what helped Pookie-Baba dig up a tunnel, that runs from Shalamanda to West-Torin? When you are digging a crater, It is the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys. Sometimes I wonder, if lightning and thunder, is made out of the plunder, of the reddest hiski and oils. *** If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream, and not make dreams your master. If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you; Except the Will which says to them ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, nor walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance, run. Yours is the World and everything that’s in it, and which is more you’ll be a Man, my son. - Rudyard Kipling

In a fractured world where magic is governed by The Celestial Codex—an omnipotent System that binds all realms—Lian Wei, a disillusioned street urchin from the neon-lit slums of New Shanghai, awakens a forbidden power: the ability to steal spells from the dead. Branded a heretic, he flees to the war-torn continent of Eldermyst, where he collides with Lady Seraphina von Astra, a runaway noble mage hunted for her bloodline’s connection to the Codex. Their uneasy alliance ignites a chain of events: ancient dragons stir beneath volcanic cities, clockwork assassins stalk the shadows, and the System itself begins to glitch, revealing a conspiracy to rewrite reality. To survive, Lian and Seraphina must master their clashing magics (Eastern qi-alchemy vs. Western rune-sorcery) while navigating a romance as volatile as the spells they wield. But the Codex has plans of its own—and its final update might erase humanity itself.

In a world where the Sevengod Church with an iron fist, Oliver, a downtrodden acolyte struggling to survive, uncovers a terrifying truth: the gods are long dead, their thrones consumed by madness. The Church’s “Divine Circuits” aren’t holy—they are cursed shackles, binding humanity to the ravenous, decaying deities they claim to serve. In reality, humans are mere sacrifices, fed to the gods to prolong their fading existence. Armed with the Blasphemy Codex System, Oliver treads a dangerous path. Each time he desecrates a god or slays a hypocritical priest, Oliver draws power from the Codex, strengthening himself with every heresy. The so-called divine beings of holy love? The great, selfless clergy? The beloved by all? Let me expose their true nature, and show everyone the maggots crawling beneath the shiny facade! This is what Oliver is doing, this is how Oliver grows stronger! When the last fancy lie falls apart in his bloody hands, Oliver finally sees the truth—those so-called gods never wanted worship, just the fear in human eyes. Now, the Codex speaks of dead stars rising again, its pages filled with secrets that could either create new gods from fallen believers or destroy everything in their final scream. Will his sword bring salvation, or just make him the most terrifying monster in this deadly game?

Authors note: Hi guys, I am really enthusiastic about this project, so I hope you guys enjoy it too. Also I realised original novels don't have that much interactions...so, read if you want to. Highly recommend giving it 30 chapters before dropping. I do not own the cover of the novel, if the original creator wants me to take it down I would be more than happy to do so. Please Enjoy.
