Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline-Chapter 423: Faces of red

Cards.

Traditionally, there are fifty two cards in a deck along with two unique joker cards that may or may not be counted as the part of the game involving these cards.

Half of the deck is comprised of cards that are a brighter color like red, while the other half is made of the darker one, like black.

It is divided in four distinct categories mostly referred to as the ’houses’ of the cards and, these four houses have four cards with only a drawing, including the Ace of each house, and number cards that possess the numbers, and drawings of the mark of that house in corresponding numbers.

There are many games that one can play with these simple fifty two cards, however, for a game to take place, only two players or two pairs of hands are more than enough to initiate, continue, and end a complete game.

This game... there can be many complicated ways to play a game, it all depends on the nature of the game, the stakes, and the rules that make the game ’real’.

And, in the game the two of ’them’ were playing, the rules were as simple as the Morality, the handling of cards was divided Equally between both players, and the cards themselves had no worldly idea what they were being Used for.

The fifty two cards all signified a ’cycle’, the dark and nights stood for ’good’ and ’evil’ or ’day’ and ’night’ or, to understand it more Clearly, as ’light’ and ’dark’ of this smoll world.

Four houses were four seasons that would decide the course of their upcoming actions and with completion each house, they would have a Team that will specialise in a certain kind of Act that the two will orchestrate like a Performance of an marionette.

The Clubs represented the common population of this world, the political power that originated from these common masses, and the agriculture that was the foundation of Sustenance.

It was a house in the category of darkness, handled by the White hands that understood the darkness better than anyone else in this world.

The three greater drowning cards of this house, K, Q, and J were going to be the foundation of many incidents involving many important people and masses, their Ace was going to the lights that leads all of them towards the true light on the other side, and the numbers, the most important part of this house, were going to forge the foundation upon which all the holy, or unholy things were going to be built upon.

It was an unexpected fortune that they gained the perfect candidate for the position of the Jake, or the Joker as some might refer to it as, the card that was the closest to the players and at the same time, unrelated to anyone, anything else. Even though they were part of something much bigger and independent from the players themselves.

The Queen was the the true ruler that holds the most raw power among the other cards, possesses the power to influence masses with just her words, or the words that were spreaded by her children, or the actions of her children.

The King, the one possessing the most authority, the Supreme leader that cares for his subjects, looks after their well being, and provides any kind of assistance in any kind of scenario, was a position not just anyone could have, and even after searching the entire world, the Players knew the one best suited for it was someone that the world alredy knew about to be a ’ghost’, someone that can be identified with just his methods alone.

However, the position of a leader, in this game at least, doesn’t involve commanding the others, or at least, commanding the numbers that weren’t as professional, tamed, or controllable as the other pattern cards.

They were unique in their own way, professionals at what they do or, ones possessing the potential to become something that no other being in this world had the ability to be.

The position of a captain, the burden of leading the others, thus fell on the shoulders of the Ace of the team. And, for Clubs, someone only with the experience, talent, background, and skills of a political leader who not only knew what true power was, how it flowed and could be manipulated, but also someone who understood the Authority, and how to impose it on the others, was a must.

That’s why they chose him, a famous figure posing as a hero of justice... however, he was going to only hold his position of Ace if the numbers were present.

And, well, the numbers of Clubs were pretty unique themselves.

2 of Clubs: [The Handler].

She had a normal antique shop in a small town of the Theocracy of Cross. A normal life without any family left to look after her in this world, she lived there alone, spent her everyday life doing normal things like a normal adult commoner, and spent the lonely days waiting for the day she gets the invitation to go back to the ’lord’s house’ where her family had went before her.

She was a normal person, from the outside at least. However, she did not know the powers, the talents, and the abilities that were hidden inside her, abilities that were a complete contradiction of what she saw herself as.

She was special, and, she was going to realise it herself now that she had accepted the hand of the white dressed person in the pretty black mask today.

4 of Clubs: [The Happiness Bringer].

Imagine everyone, an exceptionally enjoyable and peaceful day that starts with a freshly woken up body, free of any burden or fatigue, stress or bondage.

The day is long, but not too long that it becomes burdensome, sunny and cheerful with happiness present all around, relatively uneventful, and unusually full of happiness.

It’s a perfect day to go on a date with a loved one or hang out with friends, do something we think is only possibly in the dreams and fulfill the desires that we had not been able to previously.

A special day, a perfect precious little moment where every bit of peace and happiness we had ever wanted to feel comes to life.

How wonderful would it be?

Too bad this is just an imaginary scenario for most people.
