Draw Cards, Then Become the Mastermind

[Cover template, not a commission]

Mystery is returning, gradually occupying cities while humanity remains completely unaware.

Wei Konglin is an ordinary college student who has recently gotten into a game.

[Abyssal Warden Card-Collecting Game]

[Upgrade your prison. First, build your prison and welcome your first resident.]

[You currently have 0 Messengers. Draw your first Messenger.]

[You drew a Lv. 1 Mystery Messenger. Dispatch your Messenger to capture a prisoner.]

[Congratulations on successfully capturing a resident. Current prison capacity: 1/10. Congratulations, your prison is officially open!]

[Would you like to spend experience points to upgrade?]

[Your Messenger has leveled up. Your Messenger is now a Lv. 2 Mystery Messenger.]

[Your prison is looking a little empty. Would you like to welcome more residents?]

[Your fame has spread far and wide. A Mystery has traveled a great distance, hoping to become your resident. Would you like to take it under your command?]

Upgrade the prison, upgrade Messengers, draw cards to increase the number of Messengers, and capture Mysteries everywhere.

Wei Konglin watched as her prison grew more and more prosperous, its prisoner population steadily increasing, and the Messengers she had trained reaching ever higher levels.

Then one day, Mystery was fully exposed to the world, and humanity's leaders officially announced the beginning of the era of Mystery's resurgence.

The news was everywhere, online and on television.

Mysteries, Evolvers, and now the strongest Mystery of all: the Warden, who controlled an entire region and locked every dangerous Mystery in prison.

Mysteries were devouring humanity's living space. It was this being who sent out Messengers to capture every dangerous Mystery. The Mysteries humans could barely resist were utterly helpless against these Messengers.

The Warden had many Messengers: the SSS-rank Mystery Messenger, the SSS-rank Mystery Immortal Flower, the SSS-rank Mystery Ink Dragon...

Every one was a powerful Mystery that ruled its own domain, yet they all bowed in submission to the Warden.

Becoming one of the Warden's Messengers was the highest honor. Humans and Mysteries alike hoped to catch the Warden's eye.

Anyone called a Messenger, whether human or even a powerful Mystery, inspired fear because of the Warden behind them.

The Warden and the vast forces under their command had become the most terrifying legend of the Mystery resurgence.

Wei Konglin: ?

Wait, she didn't get it. Why did this description sound so much like the game she played?

The Mysteries and the Evolvers were all just like the game's setting.

In the official video introducing the Messengers, every move they made was exactly like the CG animations that played when she dispatched her Messengers.

Wei Konglin: ?

Oh no, it really was her!

Now the Evolvers were straining every nerve to catch a glimpse of the Warden.

A classmate said, "Do you think if I work hard and get ahead, I might meet the Warden?"

A friend said, "Wake up. Stop dreaming!"

Wei Konglin said, "I feel like I'm the one dreaming."

How did playing a game turn her into the mastermind behind everything?
