Arcana Null : 22 - The Fool Who Imprisoned Fate

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

The Seductive Pretty Boy of the Matriarchal World

[Cover Character: Giselle Frost.] Elias Kane was supposed to be done. He had survived too many beautiful disasters, too many obsessive women, and too many games where love was just another name for ownership. He knew how to play innocent. He knew how to play desirable. He knew how to turn sweetness into a weapon and vulnerability into a trap. All he wanted now was a clean exit. Then he woke up in a near-future world built on female power, old money, public elegance, and private cruelty. Here, powerful women do not need to shout to be terrifying. They sign contracts. They buy silence. They smile for cameras, donate to hospitals, fund universities, and ruin lives with perfect manners. And Elias has landed directly in their line of sight. A cold CEO who mistakes possession for care. A woman who smiles softly even when she is about to ruin someone. A campus goddess wrapped in wealth, beauty, coldness, and quiet cruelty. A doctor who can open the mind and leave damage no one else can see. Every one of them wears perfection beautifully. Every one of them knows how to lie. Every one of them is capable of ruining him without ever raising her voice. This time, Elias is not walking into a messy romance plot he can outplay with patience and a better performance. He is walking straight into a inescapable cage built from contracts, surveillance, coercion, and desire sharp enough to cut. One wrong step, and he will lose more than his freedom. He will become something to keep, control, and ruin. Unfortunately for them, Elias has never been as helpless as he looks. He understands women like this. He understands hunger dressed up as tenderness, cruelty dressed up as protection, and obsession dressed up as love. All he wants is to survive, cash out, and disappear. Unfortunately, the women circling him have started wanting something else. By now, Elias understands the rule better than anyone. The cruelest women do not corner you. They draw you in. They make you step closer on your own. Then they close their hands and call it fate.

Yet their souls keep finding each other… across Karmik Rin, across death, across time itself. As darkness rises Tamansh, Nirvrit, the ancient Andhak Void Agni and Neer must choose: Satyamarg or the heart? Duty or destiny? Kill each other… or finally break the Kaalbandhan?
