Grand Arcana

In the game of divinity that is the Grand Arcana, the cards control all. They grant participants their skills, their strengths, and their curses. The rules are simple: defeat monsters, complete the trials, claim more cards, don’t die.

Greg never expected to be betrayed. After ten years in the realm of the Grand Arcana, he thought he knew it all. He had defeated thousands of monsters, gathered hundreds of skill cards, and even come to an understanding with several deities. Then, right before the final trial, his victory was snatched away.

Left to bleed out, a lucky draw granted him a second chance, rewinding time to the day before it all started. Now, Greg has a new goal: find and kill whoever betrayed him, even if he has to break the Arcana’s rules to do so.
