World of Mysteries: I Ascend Through Lies

[Cthulhu + Cards + Battle of Wits + Gambling with Fate + Sequence Ascension]

“Fate is the greatest con. And I am its most accomplished swindler.”

Behind the surface of the real world lie countless hidden doors—gateways invisible to ordinary people. Only the chosen can perceive them, opening these Doors in the name of Cards and stepping onto a perilous Sequence of Ascension toward godhood.

They are known as Mystics—individuals who wield Cards as conduits, stake their sanity as currency, and prowl the shadows of cities in pursuit of mysterious power and forbidden truths.

Si Ming, a poker expert who made his living in casinos, accidentally won a forbidden Mystic Card in a gamble of fate. From that moment, he stepped onto a path of Sequences filled with madness and deceit.

On this path, there is no luck—only schemes. No rules—only domination and counterplay. No true victors—only actors manipulated by fate

He dons the mask of “Thousand Faces,” navigating the dark undercurrents of the supernatural metropolis. He deceives hunters and prey alike, attempting to use lies to weave a script of fate that belongs to him alone.

Yet at the end of the Sequence, the gods whisper:

“You believe yourself the player controlling fate?”

“No. You are merely a role—long since written—within a higher Sequence.”

The Doors of Ascension open one by one.

The True Names of the Cards must never be spoken.

When the gambler’s chips are finally placed, the curtain of destiny rises.

And when every lie is exposed… will you still remember the name you once had?
