Black mist swallows the continent, and the six nations are gripped by an unknown terror.
Cards become the only law. Supernatural abilities, ancient beasts, gods... anything can be drawn, and a gambler's soul can be devoured as well.
"My name is Yang Jin. I'm not fond of gambling or drugs, but unfortunately, this world itself is a gamble.
The only flaw with my cards is that I have too many, and every last one is a god card."
While others tremble as they draw golden cards to summon deities, Yang Jin casually tosses out cards no one has ever seen:
Black cards, transforming into countless forbidden forms;
Red cards, tearing apart the thrones of the gods.
"You're cheating!"
"No," Yang Jin says with a smile. "I'm just more familiar with... the madness at the heart of this game."
At the card table, nations are pawns and gods are decks, while the indescribable beings hidden deep within the Sequences quietly watch.
So, will you follow, or fold?
