You Were Told to Write Mysterious Characters, So You Wrote the Tarot Club Members

When Liu Ke wakes up, the production team is holding up a prompt board. In big letters, it reads: [Growth]. While the other contestants lower their heads and start writing about white-collar workers making a comeback, the warmth of ordinary families, and young people exploring the countryside, all grounded, steady, and full of everyday life, Liu Ke rubs his chin and gives a familiar, troublemaking grin: Lord of the Mysteries, you're up! At first, the audience nods along as they watch the screen. “Right, a growth theme. Probably the story of an ordinary person striving to get ahead...” Zhou Mingrui wakes up as Klein Moretti. By day, he works as a Nighthawks clerical staffer in a fog-shrouded city. By night, he has to recite honorific names to summon Historical Projections? The Sequence pathways aren't about leveling up and fighting monsters, but a nerve-racking “Acting Method” where the slightest mistake can drive you completely mad? He holds Tarot Club meetings Above the Gray Fog, ancient secrets set the apocalypse in motion, and “growth” means drawing ever closer to the cruel truth of the world? The comment feed explodes: “It's a growth story, and you're writing about unknowable evil gods and uncontrollable whispers?!” “Is this growth? It's more like tightrope-walking between mysteries and madness!” The production team's control room is in chaos. “Liu Ke! We asked you to write about growth. What are this ‘Sefirah Castle’ and these ‘Outer Gods’?! Can you just write those honorific names whenever you want?!” Liu Ke faces the camera and spreads his hands, utterly unapologetic. “Growth, of course, includes a radical transformation in how you understand the world. You go from thinking life is all about food and bills to realizing you're presiding over the Tarot Club Above the Gray Fog, struggling to hold on to your humanity on the brink of madness. Isn't that a much deeper realization?” Urban fantasy + urban setting + transmigration
