Z was born into darkness—both literal and metaphorical. Blind yet cursed with an uncanny ability, he’s a survivor in a world teetering on the edge of madness. After a catastrophic encounter with destruction left him scarred, Z became bound to the Ladder, a nightmarish construct governed by gods, entities, and unnameable existences. The rules are simple: climb or perish. Each rung brings Z closer to unfathomable truths—and further into danger. Among Climbers with extraordinary powers and sinister agendas, Z must move in treacherous alliances, decode the cryptic whispers of the gods, and face scenarios designed to test the limits of sanity. But as lies swirl and the unknown beckons, Z realizes something darker than survival lies at the Ladder’s peak: an answer to the scars he bears, the truth of his cursed path, and a confrontation with the incomprehensible forces pulling the strings. In a world where trust is as fleeting as the air you breathe, Z must embrace the Chaos within to become what he was destined to be—the Warden of Chaos. Enter a realm where lies are currency, and survival is the ultimate gamble.

Jamie Wentworth is brilliant, isolated, and tired of living as the forgotten son in a powerful family that sees him only as a tool. He’s a genius who’s saved his father’s empire more times than anyone will admit, yet his intelligence has become his curse, chaining him to a loveless home and a relentless life. When he learns of a phenomenon known as The Simulation—a place where people disappear into an alternate reality of powers, danger, and epic quests—he’s drawn to it like a moth to flame. But the Simulation isn’t what Jamie expected. He enters as “Ghost,” a critically injured figure with no memories, no allies, and a fractured past. Equipped with a mysterious “Deck of Cards” skill, he’s able to toggle between roles—Extra, Villain, and the greyed out Protagonist. Each card grants him a persona with unique powers and risks, but swapping between them exacts a heavy toll on his body and mind. Forced to start as the weakest player in a ruthless prison world, Jamie must use his wits and courage to survive against those who’d see him fail. In this new world, he’ll uncover secrets, make dangerous allies, and unlock powers that will take him far beyond anything he’s known. To survive, Jamie will need to outplay scheming npcs, merciless factions, and his own dark legacy as he unravels the mystery of “Ghost”—and the truth of his own soul. But in the Simulation, there’s one rule above all: If you die here, you die in real life. The deeper he dives, the more he realizes this is his only chance at freedom… and his greatest gamble yet.
