Lord of the Mysteries: An Ordinary Bystander, But Part-Time at the Tarot Club

Lori never imagined that being hit on the head by a physical copy of *Lord of the Mysteries* would somehow send him tumbling into that very world. The bad news: no system interface popped up to guide him. The good news: he had once binge-read the original novel over a dozen times, and while he couldn't recall most minor details, the major turning points were burned into his memory. With Zhou Mingrui around to shoulder the heaviest burdens, why should he—a nobody with barely any stakes—risk his neck against outer deities? So Lori resolved to live as a background extra, sheltering under the wings of his transmigrator predecessor and savoring the wonders of this new reality: experiencing exotic cultures, studying the path of the extraordinary, and keeping his head down. But fate had other plans. An accidental encounter with Fors sparked a chain of events that gradually turned him into an unofficial, part-time associate of the Tarot Club. That, however, was still to come. First, he had to deal with the enormous mess left behind by the original owner of the body he now inhabited.
