2024-10-29 19:42:56The gate at the main castle wall immediately closed, followed by the castle door tightly shutting. No light entered the castle, plunging the room into complete darkness.
Moments later, a large torch, more like a bonfire, lit up in the middle of the podium. The players faced the torch, providing dim illumination.[Discussion Session Begins]The screen then displayed images of two different cards.[Displaying missing cards][The Sun][Temperance]...[Granting special rights to the holder of The Fool card to guess other players' cards][Note: Missing cards cannot be guessed until the next session][Time: 5 minutes]Tension arose. However, the players' gazes fell on Leon.There was no doubt, Leon would soon be disqualified. Even now, Leon seemed nervous. But not as much as his initial reaction when the game started.Adam began to glance at each player to see any differences in behavior or the li

The time showed 12:10.[The next Discussion Session will take place at 9:00][A Mission has been assigned to the players][Please leave the castle]Adam, feeling uneasy after seeing one vote pointing at him, felt confused.He exited the castle as the moon illuminated the island.At that moment, Leon approached him, saying, "I saw one vote pointing at you." He seemed equally displeased."Well, that's how it goes," muttered Adam."Maybe it's normal considering I'm one of those who oppose open cooperation..." he thought to himself.He then noticed a mission had appeared on the screen in front of him.[Mission][The Hanged Man requires a sacrifice with a special ritual][Visit the starting position of The Hanged Man and sacrifice twenty Chaos points with the ritual][Details about the Ritual will be provided once you reach The Hanged Man's starting point]"Starting point?

Game Of Arcana Chapter 12: Rituals
For the first time, Adam felt disadvantaged by his curse that attracted beasts.Adam didn't want to make any movement; he remained still.Meanwhile, the Devil Snake had started to feel the effects. It began to slither aimlessly. The inside of its mouth started to turn yellowish.On the other side, the horse-like footsteps drew closer.Adam dared not make a sound and watched through the gap in the grass.Before him, a skeletal horse with a four-armed skull rider appeared. Facing the now-returned Devil Snake circling a large tree.[Ghost Rider—S]Adam was surprised by two facts he witnessed. Both the skull riding the horse and the system information showing that the rider was actually the highest-ranked S-level Beast!Thin black mist circulated around the Ghost Rider, indicating its danger.The Ghost Rider stood there, watching the slowly dying Devil Snake for almost ten minutes. Adam himself even experie

"Now that my mission is complete... It's time to start investigating," Adam prepared his belongings. He also replaced the bandage on his shoulder wound and treated the cuts on his fingers.After preparing his belongings, including arrows and bow, knife, a bag containing Rabbit Pendant meat, and Blue Fox, he couldn't track other players using the minimap, which meant he had to search for other players manually.Just as he exited the cave and descended from the rocks, Adam already heard strange noises coming from the forest. "Is that coming from the forest?" Adam followed the source of the noise.And a hundred meters away, Adam saw a woman wearing yellow-striped sportswear with short shoulder-length hair chopping down a pine tree. However, instead of using the sharp side of the axe, she was using the blunt side.It was Elly, and she was alone."What is she doing?" Adam was clearly puzzled by Elly's actions.Elly seemed so focused o
Game Of Arcana Chapter 14: Another Clue
Indeed, something as simple as chopping down a tree is indeed simple, but behind it, it is also a big clue. Elly herself stated that it was part of her mission.Adam would believe more if Elly gave another reason, for example, to waste time, exercise, or something similar. That would kill the possibility that something as simple as chopping down a tree is part of a mission that blatantly gives a big picture of her card. Besides, from the beginning, no one would think that chopping down a tree is part of the mission."Why have you been silent all this time? I thought I was the only one struggling to find concrete evidence here!" Adam stood up and promptly grabbed his gear.It's clear that Rashard's current goal is to follow Elly's footsteps into the forest. That way, they might find additional clues.Rashard chuckled, "Your reaction is easy to read. At least for now, I'm sure that the woman suspects that you've been suspicious of her. If I tell you
Game Of Arcana Chapter 15: Accused
Connecting his suspicion to Elly, Adam quickly drew a rough conclusion. "Are Elly and Leon working together?""They do seem close... And considering the game rules allow The Fool to win with two other players, that adds to the reason why Leon might be willing to collaborate with them."As he wandered in his thoughts, William, a bald man in military attire, opened the discussion session, "As agreed in the previous discussion session, now each player must report the information they have.""I'll go first." He then glanced at John Gates. "My information is quite simple, I can guarantee that John Gates is not the holder of The Fool card."The other players were silent for a moment. Then Rashard immediately asked, "What makes you so sure?"William said with a serious face, "I've concluded which card he holds. I won't say it here, but I can guarantee he's not The Fool."Andrew, the middle-aged man with a slightly round body, looked cyn

Andrew frowned, "Are you sure? What about your own mission? Besides, it would be too risky leaving just the two of you.""No need to worry about the mission." Rashard calmly replied.At that moment, Trevor Thys, a man in his late twenties wearing a white shirt without a tie with rolled-up sleeves and faded green eyes, raised his hand, "I also volunteer to supervise Lockwood.""Furthermore, as a backup plan, shouldn't we focus less on Lockwood? What if he really isn't The Fool cardholder? That would take us back to square one." Trevor, whose face had interesting contours, said expressionlessly."I agree." Collin White exclaimed.At that moment, Adam was still racking his brain. He was barely even listening to what the other players were discussing in this discussion session; he was just thinking about the many strategies he could use.Unbeknownst to him, time flew by quickly. And the discussion session was nearing its end.
Game Of Arcana Chapter 17: Way of thinking
"I'm always curious about how other players defeat beasts," Rashard muttered.Both Adam and Trevor began to aim and release their arrows at the same time.Trevor's arrow clearly had the advantage with its tip made of sharpened stone, while Adam's arrow was purely bamboo.As the two arrows flew, one of them had an erratic trajectory. The movement of the wind in the bamboo forest was unpredictable, causing Adam's bamboo arrow to experience some shaking. On the other hand, Trevor's arrow arrived first and instantly pierced the skull of one of the Rock Pandas.Kwaaaaak!!The Rock Pandas began to realize the attack as one of them fell with bright red blood gushing from the arrow lodged in it.Not long after that, Adam's arrow gently stuck to the arm of one of the Rock Pandas.At that moment, there was no significant effect yet; the wound on the Rock Panda's arm wouldn't kill it.Seeing Adam's attack fail, James immed
Game Of Arcana Chapter 18: Plan
Adam fell silent for a moment. He had formulated several scenarios during the discussion session, even skipping most of the debates at that time. And in the end, he arrived at one plan.To win the game, understanding the rules well was crucial. In this case, Adam wanted to use the game's rules to lure out the holder of The Fool card on their own."Actually, I've devised this considering James is on my side. And with Thys here, it's even better," Adam smiled."First, we need to complete the mission," he said.[Chaos Points: 6]He managed to kill two level C beasts and two level D beasts....Time passed quickly, and the sun began to rise from the east.Both Adam and Trevor had gathered materials to complete their missions. Thanks to the curse received by Adam because of The Hanged Man card, they were able to encounter beasts continuously.And luck didn't stop there. They didn't encounter any level A or even l

Chapter 56: The Hierophant
As the sun set once again, Adam sat on the main deck of "The Hanged Man" ship, examining the gold-covered book in his hands. He had flipped through the book repeatedly, finding only blank pages. He had also experimented by trying to tear the book, but it returned to its original condition.Clarice, on the other hand, was busy with her crew, whatever they were doing on "The Emperor" ship.Adam, wearing a half-height hat, gazed out at the distant sea shrouded in thick darkness."Considering the time I needed to get to this island... I doubt Collin White will arrive in less than a week. That would allow me to use this book freely..."Moreover, he had many wild ideas in his head. Previously, when he used the skill "Equivalent Exchange," he sacrificed Mini Sun, an artifact belonging to The Sun, which he had taken over at the time, as an exchange material. He wondered if he could do the same with the Book of Repetition to eliminate the reverse effect on

"Dock now!" Adam ordered firmly.Topper nodded, immediately steering The Hanged Man towards the shore where the molten rocks formed a pattern indicating the entrance.Both ships, The Hanged Man and The Emperor, began docking near the shore. Clarice led her group to prepare to disembark, while Adam directed his crew to guard the ship."Don't let anyone approach our ship," Adam commanded Topper and several other crew members. "We don't know what we will encounter in there."Clarice jumped down from the ship and landed on the rocks that had started to cool after melting. She looked towards the now more visible entrance."Derrick, Clint, come with me," she ordered her crew. Both immediately disembarked and stood by her side.Adam also disembarked, followed by Bryan, while the others stayed behind to guard the ship from any potential attacks, as this time the ship was not hidden.Clarice nodded and approached the entrance, tr

The sun slowly moved, tilting 60 degrees to the west.Topper, who was standing guard on a sharp rock, noticed movement from the forest, then saw his Captain walking with someone else. At first, he thought it was Lucas, but quickly discarded that thought upon seeing that the person with his Captain was a woman. He frowned.Signaling to the others, they quickly gathered to greet them."Prepare the ship," Adam said to Topper and the others.Meanwhile, Bryan approached and asked in a low tone, "What happened to Lucas?"Adam shook his head, "I don't know, just hope he's okay.""Are we going to leave him?" Bryan asked again.Adam glanced towards the sea, then towards the island. "We’re going to circumnavigate the island and find The Emperor's ship," he said casually.Bryan quickly shifted his gaze to Clarice, nodding politely before saying, "Alright."Clarice looked somewhat surprised to see The Hanged Man's

Chapter 53: Book of Repetition
"Explain what actually happened..."[Ancient Artifact of The Hierophant—Book of Repetition, has repeated the story. The coverage area of this ancient artifact encompasses the entire island, effectively returning the island to its original state after the artifact was integrated into it.]"Repetition..." Adam muttered softly."So, why are all my skills acting strange?"[Your condition has been reset to how it was before you entered the island. However, since you are not part of the story, a side effect has occurred because you became involved in a process you were not supposed to be involved in. All your skills will experience Reverse Effects.]Adam's face twitched."Gallows, which should be very light, has become impossible to lift... The Shadow Hand that I should be able to control now doesn't obey my commands... And instead of gaining order points after killing humans, I'm being fined..." He muttered to himself while looking at

Adam landed smoothly and simultaneously swung Gallows like a giant axe, sending several hunched humans flying.Meanwhile, Clarice, who jumped nearly twenty meters high, also landed smoothly. Her pupils suddenly turned gold, "Authority Aura"!Some of the hunched humans received its impact.Not stopping there, more hunched humans began to appear, like a pack of wolves growling."Grrr!!!"Adam twirled Gallows in his hands, adjusting to the situation."We've made it out, now the problem is how do we deal with these hunched humans? Should we kill them?" Adam found himself puzzled.Clarice, on the other hand, didn't hesitate to fight the hunched humans.At that moment, Adam remembered something, "I left Lucas!"He turned back into the circular hole and his gaze stopped at the one-foot table that previously held the book, also an Artifact. The book was gone!Briefly, he saw movement in the entrance ar

On the other side, Clarice had completed all her preparations, with the red flag bearing the golden crown emblem standing in the middle of the area. She raised her sword into the air, and a fireball the size of a palm flew towards her, merging with the sword, turning it into a flaming sword. Adam furrowed his brow, once again comparing his cards to Clarice's. "How many skills does she have!?" Adam quickly counted his own skills and found that he only had six, and some of them weren't very useful at the moment. With the flaming sword in hand, Clarice sliced through the air, causing the mist to dissipate not too far away. Vaguely, it revealed a figure on the other side. A creature twice the size of a normal gorilla, with elongated arms covered in brown fur. Its eyes looked like a musical note symbol. With sharp teeth and flowing saliva.

Adam followed from behind, his Gallows long turned to ashes. The red flame moved slowly, illuminating the square-shaped room. Clarice prioritized a path close to the wall, as that's where she found the right path during her first attempt to find a way out. The problem was, she wasn't sure where exactly. Even the markers on the minimap stopped before this room. Adam followed Clarice from behind along with Lucas, still bound by the rope. After walking for almost five minutes, Clarice suddenly stopped. "Wait," she said, raising her index finger while focusing her hearing. Adam wanted to ask "What's wrong?" but immediately refrained from doing so, he followed Clarice and focused on listening. Vaguely, they heard the sound of paper rubbing against each other. Rubbing! "What's that?" Adam thought about the possible causes o

Chapter 49: Entrance
The bottom of the gorge has a vastness that's difficult to describe. Many areas branch off, making it feel expansive. Without a Minimap, they would easily get lost.As Adam walked at the forefront, the rock wall beside him suddenly heated up and gradually melted.Seeing this anomaly, Adam immediately stepped back, followed by Clarice, who did the same.Looking at the Minimap, there were no points indicating it wasn't a B-level Beast or below.Adam pulled the rope binding Lucas and hid behind a sharp rock, turning to a different path.On the melting wall, lava poured, and a lizard the size of a mature horse appeared. Its skin was burned by orange fire, and the surrounding area gradually melted. The creature had a head that bloomed like a corpse flower, spraying hot lava from its mouth.[Earth Penetrator—A]Adam frowned while holding back his voice.The creature didn't notice Adam, Clarice, or Lucas."Alt

Chapter 48: Clarice Peak
Clarice sighed, "Why don't you try following the path indicated by the system?" As if challenging Adam to do it.Adam understood her meaning, "Is there any obstacle that makes it impossible to get out? Something like traps? Puzzles? Or beasts?" His mind tried to conclude."What's the problem?" Adam wanted detailed information.Clarice didn't plan to hide the facts and willingly gave an overview, "At the end of the path, there's a giant door, I can open it, though it requires great strength. And that's when the creature comes and attacks... It's a miracle I survived.""A creature?"Clarice reaffirmed, "It's an A-level Beast guarding this gorge."Adam's memory spun, recalling information in his mind. His imagination worked, and the appearance of the Gigantic Boar that devoured humans appeared in his head, then changed to the sea creature with large, sharp fins that almost sank his ship. It was clear that an A-level Beast was still
