Three years have passed since Soyoung's life was turned upside down. Three years since she was brought back to life with no memories of what her life was before the Plague. The only two things Soyoung will always remember is that there are twenty two cards in the Major Arcana, a powerful tarot deck that shouldn't be underestimated; the second and most important thing, is what her master Baekhyun has always told her: be careful of what you wish, not because of what you might get, but because of what it might cost you.

Author's Note:

Hi everyone! I'm sharing this story as a part of the Sapling Contest. Thank you to both mods for letting me join <3

I wrote this story three years ago for my creative writing class and it was the first time in a long time that I finished writing something. It's also the first time in 7 or 8 years that I am posting one of my works on the Internet and it's absolutely nerve-wracking! But thanks to one of my closest friends who kept on pushing me to post it, here I am with this story! Hopefully you will like reading it as much as I liked writing it.

This story is inspired by the visual game The Arcana (which I was absolutely hooked on back then, and still am) and is following Asra's route, though it is not following the whole plot! Also there shouldn't be any grammatical mistakes but since english isn't my first language I might have missed some, sorry about that!

You can vote here until March 7th if you liked the story <3

Chapter 4: i enjoyed this! its a shame about the sad ending but it seems like its implied that one way or another she will get her memories and baekhyun back :’) which leads me to hoping you might write a sequel or more parts! If you ever decide to, i’ll be excited to read it!

Chapter 4: I bookmarked this a while ago but somehow forgot since I rarely bookmark stories. dfjdkjffd pls excuse my late comment. You probably thought I was a silent reader or something. 😭

Your fic caught my attention because I can't get enough of fantasy AUs, especially when Baekhyun is involved (I'm a simp, I admit it).
I absolutely love the way you incorporated tarot cards into the story. It's very creative and goes well with the plot/setting. Also, I love tarot which makes it even better. 🥺💗 fdjkdg It's fascinating!
You brought the cards to life in this story. Baekhyun as the Magician is just *chef's kiss* 🥺 I also liked the Hermit!! BUT I got a bone to pick with the Devil 😒 HOW DARE HE jskfjdsk 😭😭
My heart hurts for Soyoung. She lost Baek and still hasn't found the answers she's after. 😢 Poor baby.
I hope she's successful and reunites with Baekhyun. She seemed confident at the end, so I don't doubt she'll succeed. ❤ Btw, Soyoung's and Baekhyun's subtle chemistry was adorable. I enjoyed it! 🥰

Would love to hear more about the world you created, but I assume you're not planning a sequel? In case you do, I would definitely be on board. 😄 The idea to incorporate tarot cards is great, I can't repeat it often enough!! Your English is perfect too, the sentences are fluid and easy to read.
May I ask what inspired you to write this story? 😊

Anyway, thank you for sharing this and have a nice evening!! 💗 I'm looking forward to more of your works in the future. 😙

Chapter 2: Sehun wants to become the devil? Well that explains why he fed Baekhyun raw garlic before lol. Sorry, I've been watching YT videos because I miss BBH.
They should make more TV or movies about tarot or runes. I have seen only a very small handful but it would be fascinating!

Chapter 1: This is very unusual so far. You wrote this for a class? How great is that!!!
Very intriguing, it sounds like the epic all hinges on this masquerade ball.

Chapter 4: boyyy am I glad I found this omggg I can't begin to tell you just how much I loved this fic.
I read this at 3am so really, the imagery hit the spot and I felt some goosebumps ngl, YOUR WRITING STYLE IS SO PRETTY!!

I love the simple setup and the way you introduced characters seamlessly. Baekhyun/Soyoungs chemistry is so PERFECT. The subtle acknowledgement of their love and appreciation for each other is everything T_T
Also the tarot card descriptions add that extra bit of thrill, the descriptions low-key scared me lmao
I truly can't wait to read more from you. Keep writing and thank you so much for this wonderful fic, it's definitely going up there on some of my most favourite fics ever.

Chapter 4: Oh my gosh, I just want to say that I love this story! Your writing is very good, it flows so beautifully. Everything is vivid like a dream, the moment I started reading, I couldn't stop! (Well, I took breaks to write notes to leave this comment hehe).

I love Baekhyun's familiar, something about that snake makes me smile. It even suits him honestly.

(PS: Each description of the tarot cards helps me understand them more - and now I fear them (T-T) They have powers or something! It's unreal how relatable they can be.

Once again I am LOVING this flow of words. This is so pretty.

Whoa whoa whoa WAIT I wasn't expecting a murder!!! (Sorry I'm so loud, I'm locked in and it's only the first part)

Oh gosh, not him shuffling the cards (>///<) what a sight to see.

O.O why am I suddenly freaked out by Sehun right now, is this a horror movie?! (kidding... unless? I'm so intrigued tho, what the heck is happening o.o)

DID THEY USED TO DATE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THEIR CLOSENESS IS SO CUTE AND SOFT I'M SO????

Why am I such a hermit >.< I am clueless on what all these details are leading up to, but I absolutely LOVE it!

Not me tearing up at the part 4, what the heck, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO FACE THE DEVIL. WTH NO BAEKHYUN COME BACK THIS HURTS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I love this story, it broke my heart, but I enjoyed every minute reading it (and now it's almost 1am WHOOPS) thank you so much for posting this beautiful story (T-T) It was engaging, heartwarming, and emotional from start to finish. I am cheering Soyoung on in restoring her memories and finding Baekhyun again. Thank you so much for joining our contest with this lovely masterpiece!!!!! *showers the sprout with water* hehehe 💐💐💐💐💐💐
