《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》BK 2 - Chapter 33: Find Her
Advertisement
Director Keisha looked toward Toss Up and said, “Is someone following her?”
“Yes, Deck Director, I’ve situated someone at every exit to the arena,” replied Toss Up.
“Good! I want to find out about that spear,” replied Keisha as she was getting up and preparing to leave the arena. Director Keisha paused in thought and said to Toss Up, “Put someone on Captain Gru as well. I want to know his reaction when he learns the dungeon has moved.”
“Yes, Deck Director, I’ll…”
Toss Up’s reply was interrupted by Little Luck, “Captain Toss Up! Deck Director Keisha! I just received a quest you should know about.” Little Luck was a small woman in the back of the Stone Guild party that attended the tournament.
Toss Up noticed Deck Director Keisha looked interested in what Little Luck was going to say, but for Little Luck’s sake, he hoped it was important. Toss Up liked Little Luck’s work ethic and didn’t want the Deck Director making an example of her for not knowing her place. He looked over at the small athletic woman and said, “What’s the quest Little Luck?”
Little Luck’s eyes lost their focus as she read the Quest.

Little Luck then said, “I think I received the quest because I’m about the same height as the…”
Deck Director Keisha interrupted Little Luck, “Of course that’s the reason. Accept the quest and see if you can find out anything.”
Little Luck selected “A” accepting the quest and took off. She knew it was unlikely that she would find out anything, but she didn’t say anything before immediately following the Director’s orders.
Director Keisha then said to Toss Up, “With this distraction, there is no way our people will be able to figure out which one is the spear woman. Get an Elf over here to track her before her scent gets to old.”
Toss Up’s eyes’ widened at the cost of an elf tracker, and he almost commented on it, but wisely kept his thoughts to himself, and replied, “Yes, Deck Director!” and moved off to the side, activating his sound wave to try an hire an elf tracker with such ridiculous short notice.

Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
