For, through the world of Avaloria, a promise of eternity whispered the tale of deceit cloaked beneath the veil of truth. Redemption; the chance for the realm to stand once more against world-ending doom, the legends whispered. But amidst these clambering threats, the people of Arvindor turned a blind eye, entwined in their own pursuits. And here, in the heart of Arvindor, are our heroes introduced. Strong ones walk the earth with the strength of behemoths amidst the chaos. Their presence, palpable; the kings and lords who wage wars of conquest are blind to the impending threat as power-hungry rulers ravage the land in their quest for supremacy. Resources are not just plundered; the land itself bleeds under the weight of their ambition, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. In that endless abyss of power struggles, could a new hope rise—a flower yet to bloom in the dark? Or will it crumble in corruption, snuffed like a light before it had the chance to shine in full brilliance? Will compassion remain but a flicker of light amidst the shadows, or will it die tragically, leaving the world in darkness unyielding? As the world teeters on the brink of chaos, Avaloria's fate dangles at the balance, relying solely on the intentions of those who possess its future in their hands. Let us meet Valcroy Everheart, a young squire who has just finished his training as a Page to the House of Frostborne and started his journey as a young squire, attending the Heir of Frostborne, Erik Frostbourne, of the same age as he is. Follow them as they both get lost in the world of Avaloria and discover the secrets that were not meant to be known and deception that tied the Compassion. One Day I Will Find The Words And They Will Be Simple

From the moment I stepped into the elite high school, I knew I was different. Not in the way these privileged brats thought they were special, but truly different. I am Ram Raghav, and this is my story—a tale of manipulation, power, and deception. In this school of future leaders, they believe in merit and excellence. What they don't realize is that true power lies not in grades but in control. I blend into the shadows, a ghost among the living, pulling strings and planting seeds of chaos. Every move is calculated, every friendship a transaction. They see a quiet, unassuming boy, but behind this facade lies a mind honed by my father, the feared mafia kingpin Raghav Raghav, and my mother, the ruthless lawyer Aishwarya Raghav. As I navigate through college, the stakes grow higher. I find comrades, pawns in my grand design, unaware of their roles in my schemes. Together, we face challenges, laugh, cry, and grow, but only I see the bigger picture. Every success, every setback is a step closer to my ultimate goal. Entering the political arena, the game changes. Here, my father’s lessons in power and my mother's legal acumen merge. I start as an advisor, an apprentice in the dark arts of political maneuvering. They teach Machiavelli; I live it. I outwit, outplay, and outlast, climbing the ranks while maintaining my unassuming exterior. But politics is merely a stage, a platform to launch my true ambitions. The world of espionage and crime beckons, a labyrinth of shadows where my skills truly shine. I dance on the knife's edge, outmaneuvering enemies both foreign and domestic. Betrayal is a currency, loyalty a rare gem. Trust no one, use everyone. Through it all, I am the puppet master, orchestrating a symphony of deceit. They call it ruthless; I call it necessary. For in the end, power is the only truth, and I intend to wield it with an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove. I am Ram Raghav. They see a student, a friend, a politician. What they don't see is the darkness within, the cold, calculating mind always three steps ahead. This is my story, a tale of deception, power, and the relentless pursuit of control. Let the games begin.

But the Simulation isn’t what Jamie expected. He enters as “Ghost,” a critically injured figure with no memories, no allies, and a fractured past. Equipped with a mysterious “Deck of Cards” skill, he’s able to toggle between roles—Extra, Villain, and the greyed out Protagonist.

Forced to start as the weakest player in a ruthless prison world, Jamie must use his wits and courage to survive against those who’d see him fail. In this new world, he’ll uncover secrets, make dangerous allies, and unlock powers that will take him far beyond anything he’s known. To survive, Jamie will need to outplay scheming npcs, merciless factions, and his own dark legacy as he unravels the mystery of “Ghost”—and the truth of his own soul. But in the Simulation, there’s one rule above all: If you die here, you die in real life. The deeper he dives, the more he realizes this is his only chance at freedom… and his greatest gamble yet.
