Overview

Synopsis

Waking up in a world reminiscent of late Victorian-era England, Zhou Mingrui finds himself having transmigrated into the body of a history graduate named Klein Moretti, who lives in a city called Tingen. In this new world, he discovers the rising tide of steam power and machinery, alongside the existence of Beyonders—people who gain mystical powers through consuming Potions that correspond to one of the 22 'Pathways.' After an accidental ritual, Klein inadvertently establishes a mysterious, omnipotent entity presence and begins forming a clandestine organization known as the 'Tarot Club,' masquerading as a god-like entity known as "The Fool." As he delves deeper into the world's hidden history and supernatural secrets, including dangerous sealed artifacts, ancient languages, and cosmic entities, he must learn to master the "Acting Method" to digest his Beyonder potions and avoid the corruption and madness that constantly threaten to consume him, all while searching for a way to return to his original world. The story is a dense, high-stakes epic that blends meticulous world-building with elements of cosmic horror, fantasy, and mystery.

Notes

Special Notes

The original work is a Chinese Web Novel that achieved massive popularity and is considered a milestone in the genre. Yen Press publishes the Light Novel/physical book edition in English, dividing the original volumes into multiple parts (e.g., Volume 1 split into two parts). The web serial is complete, but the author is writing an official sequel, Circle of Inevitability, which is the second book in the Mysteries series and follows a new protagonist. The official donghua (Chinese animated series) and mobile game adaptations were highly anticipated and released in 2025 and development was confirmed, respectively.
