Game Of Arcana Chapter 1: "Welcome To The Game Of Arcana"
He continued to hear the sound of gears, as if calling out to him piercing his ears. The dark blue sky was filled with thousands of twinkling stars. Black smoke billowed and rose towards the sky, reflecting the glowing orange hue in the corner of his eye, yet he couldn't hear anything. The gradually rising heat pierced his skin, but he felt too shocked to react.The only action he could take was to scream for help."He...lp!" His voice cracked, suppressed to the point of being barely audible.Amidst the piercing heat on his skin, somehow his ears began to function again.The first thing that entered his ears was the screams of others also crying out for help. Some even accompanied by sobs.He was too exhausted to think, coupled with the increasing heat on his skin. It felt like his skin and flesh would melt away at any moment. As hope began to fade in his mind, he closed his eyes in resignation....Gong! Gong! Gong!
Game Of Arcana Chapter 2: I Am Arcana
[The main goal of the Arcana game is to survive until the seventh wave of the game][The first wave of the game is called "I Am Arcana"][Obtain one of the 22 available cards. The game will be considered finished once all cards have owners]Continuing from the second red point, Adam read in his mind.[Game rules][There are 22 cards scattered across the island. 98 Players will compete to find the cards. Each player can only have one card. As a challenge, various types of Beasts have been released all over the island, and players are required to survive until the end of the game. Players who obtain a card and then die will be disqualified, and the card will revoke ownership rights from that player. Players who do not have a card at the end of the game will be disqualified]"Game? Players? Cards?" Adam gritted his teeth. He felt confused but also remembered glimpses of what happened to the woman torn apart by the horned wolf.<
Game Of Arcana Chapter 3: Eric Intentions
Adam realized that whatever creature was approaching, it would be far more dangerous than just a horned wolf.As Eric ran in the opposite direction of the swaying trees, Adam instinctively followed behind. At least it was the most sensible direction to move away from whatever was coming.Adam, wearing a white shirt now stained with brown spots, and a loosely tied tie, ran as fast as he could. Instinctively, he followed Eric from behind.He knew that the game had clearly started while he was still unconscious, leaving him less aware of the best terrain to navigate. Eric, on the other hand, might be a player who already had an idea of the safest terrain. Adam had a strong reason to follow him.From the direction of the swaying trees, echoing screams resounded, sending waves of fear that made Adam's hair stand on end. It was a desperate cry!Not just one, but the screams continued, as if performing a haunting chorus.As the sounds d
Game Of Arcana Chapter 4: Kill or be killed
After reaching the entrance point of the waterfall, Eric glanced at Adam and exchanged looks. "What are you waiting for?" Eric asked in surprise.Adam shook his head, "Nothing."He continued to step carefully, and with a little effort, he managed to arrive at the same spot as Eric.Seeing a crevice behind the waterfall, a cave with torches reflecting orange light on the waterfall, Adam now felt more confident about his theory."What's inside there?" Adam asked.Eric showed a suspicious expression, "I don't know.""We'll find out once we enter," Eric continued.Eric pressed against the rock wall and carefully entered the cave behind the waterfall.Adam followed from behind.The cave had a considerable size, resembling a corridor guided by torches on both sides. The rocks inside were slightly damp, and the atmosphere felt piercing. Their footsteps were drowned out by the sound of the waterfall.F
Game Of Arcana Chapter 5: Information
Adam, witnessing the scene, felt doubtful. He felt sympathy, but also found no other option."Arghh, you piece of shit!" Eric's eyes reddened, blood now soaking his fingers. His expression was filled with anger and reluctance.The pain spread throughout his body, and his legs continued to writhe."I don't want to die! Fuck this shit game!"Adam listened to Eric's final words and decided to end it quickly. He grasped the arrow that had previously pierced his shoulder and approached Eric."I've seen decapitated bodies, humans turned into giant pig feasts, now I realize that morality no longer applies here; the only thing that matters is survival." With all his strength, Adam drove the arrow straight into Eric's heart.The once calm blue-eyed man finally stopped moving.Adam absorbed his own words. An eerie silence hung for a few seconds. Only the ticking of the clock on the right screen and the faint sound of the waterfall
Game Of Arcana Chapter 6: Chaos and Order
Adam continued to ponder over the information, trying to make sense of it all. Then, another crucial question came to mind, "The game won't be ending anytime soon, which means I have to survive on this island. Where can I get food supplies, drinks, and other survival necessities?"[Some Beasts can be used as food supplies, the island contains various edible fruits, and the river water tends to be clean and safe. Additionally, other equipment has been distributed to players at the beginning of the game.]"I haven't received any equipment at all," Adam said with a puzzled expression.There was no response from the System.After feeling that most of his curiosity couldn't find answers, Adam sighed deeply. Next, he just needed to wait for the break time to end.Adam gathered some equipment from Eric, including a metal water bottle and a small bag to store some basic items.Thirty minutes passed by.[Break Time over][All
Game Of Arcana Chapter 7: Find The Fool
After the countdown reached one, a total of 21 players had arrived at the destination point.And right in front of the gate, a man dressed like an office worker stumbled forward, with wounds all over his body."Wait! I'm in front of the gate!" He shouted desperately.Adam recognized the man. Back when he first woke up, this man was the first person Adam saw on this island.[Time has run out][Disqualifying players who did not arrive at the destination]Adam and the others watched as the man struggled to walk. But when the time reached zero, the man suddenly began to act strangely."No! No! Give me a few more seconds! Please!" His face contorted, and his hands grasped his neck as if trying to protect it from something.But there was no response, and eventually, a red line appeared around his neck."No!!!"Splash!!His head suddenly exploded, sending pieces of flesh and brain matter in all di
Game Of Arcana Chapter 8: Level Up
[Game Starts][All players are expected to leave the castle][A mission has been assigned to each player]Seeing the giant screen in the air, Adam immediately opened his own system screen.On The Hanged Man card screen, a new text in glowing red had appeared.[Mission][Kill ten level C beasts and sacrifice 30 Chaos points to The Hanged Man][0/30]"Level C beasts? That's equivalent to a Unicorn Wolf," Adam murmured to himself.The players began preparing their equipment and hurriedly left the castle. Among them were Elly and Leon, who now appeared better.Adam took the time to change the bandages on his shoulder wounds before making other preparations.Armed with weapons like military knives, arrows and bows, and other equipment like a small backpack and a metal water bottle, Adam was ready to leave the castle and carry out his mission.The players dispersed.Adam realized one crucial t

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...

Chapter 55: Strategy
"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

Chapter 54: Door
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

Chapter 52: Unpredictable Change
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

Chapter 51: Gorilla Orchestra
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.

Chapter 50: Conflict
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
