Lord of All Cards

At the Starspire Tarot Academy, tarot determines destiny. Seventeen-year-old Shen Yan, an F-rank talent, is the academy's bottom student, admitted only through orphanage sponsorship. Despised and isolated, no one knows that deep in his mind lies a dormant, featureless black shadow—seventeen years unawakened. This unknown entity allows him to perceive tarot auras far beyond normal, yet he is labeled mediocre. He lives quietly, unaware of his origins, until the awakening array triggers the shadow's tremor, unleashing a storm of tarot energy that lights up the crystal with blinding white light. Challenges in the cafeteria, complex gazes from mentors, a nameless tattered book in the library—undercurrents stir. Three days later, the talent appraisal becomes his chance to face fate. When the chaotic card awakens, all cards surround him, shocking everyone with his heaven-defying talent. Shen Yan realizes: he is no ordinary orphan but the sealed holder of the origin of all cards, the bearer of the chaotic card never recorded in tarot texts. From then on, the youth hides no more, using tarot as his guide and the unknown as his blade, exploring his origins, crushing geniuses, gathering all cards, and ultimately becoming the Lord of All Cards who commands destiny!
