𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐀𝐈𝐊𝐎 hates her life. She's only just making it through, studying psychology at college and working as a surgeon assistant at the hospital in the rest of her time. The doctor she assists is cold and calculating - perfect for the job. She's burnt out, depressed, and she almost wishes the world would just disappear. Until it does. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 doesn't feel anything. He gets on with each day by routine. He performs surgeries at the hospital as if they come as naturally as breathing, although his assistant messes up on the daily. He hasn't even bothered to learn her name. He messed up badly with a patient, and it weighs on his shoulders every day. He doesn't know the meaning of life, but he craves to find out. 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐔𝐘𝐀, 𝐓𝐎𝐊𝐘𝐎. The whole city is deserted, it seems. 𝐀 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄.

They call it the 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐍'𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃 - a pair of black aces, a pair of black eights. Legend says it's a losing hand, but not because it's weak. But because it comes too late. It was supposed to be Clubs and Spades, teamwork and brute violence. But it was the Heart and the Diamond that killed them in the end. ✧.*˚ ༘ * 𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐔 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐈 was born to read cards and lie with a smile. A poker prodigy turned addict, she traded real life for the thrill of risk long before she ever entered the Borderlands. Cold, calculating, and cursed to always play one move ahead, she doesn't believe in luck - only patterns, weakness, and blood. ✧.*˚ ༘ * 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 trusts no one, cares for nothing, and walks through death like it's just another puzzle to solve. He doesn't play with hearts - but he knows exactly how to break them. Aloof and unreadable, he's mastered the Borderlands like a game of logic. But when a girl who sees through masks steps into his game, even he might have to show a card.

╰┈➤ 𝐑𝐔𝐊𝐀.. has no idea how she comes off, only that people either avoid her or try to crack her like a code. She doesn't trust either. Which is why, when someone in the Borderlands approaches her without flinching or prying, and just sits near her, she doesn't understand it. It's the beginning of something unfamiliar. Something dangerous. Only, there's something much more dangerous coming for her. Something that can only be named as the King of Diamonds.. ** COMPLETED ,, GO CHECK OUT THE SEQUEL TOO! ** IMPRESSIVE RANKS: 1 in #aib 1 in #doctor 7 in #flowers 19 in #heart

𝐘𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐲𝐚 wasn't surrounded by the best people growing up. She was raised around the world of drugs, crime and violence. But growing up in that environment meant she had to be careful. One wrong move could've gotten her killed. So, she developed the ability to read people. She knew what people wanted, before they even wanted it. She understood people even when they didn't understand themselves. This ability got her so far and now she has to use it to survive in the borderlands. She just hopes that her emotions won't get in her way. 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐚 didn't care about anything. But there was always one thing that stuck in his mind. He always distanced himself from everything and everyone. He knew he was selfish. He always performed out of self preservation. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to save him, and yet she did. Now that they are stuck in the borderlands together, Katya has to survive with him and face the darkest moments in her life. And Chishiya has to watch as Katya does the thing he is incapable of doing. Care.

[Chishya X OC , slow burn] Deadly new world. One goal. To find her sister. Caught in the routines of daily life,work, chores, meaningless conversations, the quiet weight of a life that felt like it was slipping through her fingers. Every day felt the same. She wasn't living, just existing. Trying to keep her head above the surface while something inside her slowly drowned. Then one day, everything changed. No more routine. No more safety. Only m games, fear, and the desperate search for her sister. And him, the stranger with the goodamn hoodie and unreadable eyes, who somehow kept showing up like a question she couldn't answer. Now, there are no weekdays. No normal. Just survival,secrets, and choices she can't take back.

Society was always the hardest challenge for 𝑳𝒀𝑳𝑰 𝑯𝑶𝑵𝑮 who did everything she could to prove herself successful. Yet she could never be fully proud of herself; negative insecurities blinded her to her true self. When it came to 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑺𝑯𝑰𝒀𝑨 𝑺𝑯𝑼𝑵𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑶 he despised her from the moment they met. She was like others, reaching for the highest shelf, while he knew it was a pointless dream. Yet something about her kept catching his attention. The moment they bump into each other in Bordeland, a tension settles between them at lightning speed. It's only a matter of time before the fragile, carefully constructed walls around each of their hearts crack, leaving them vulnerable. The winner? The winner 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 it all. Chishiya x OC

𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐘𝐀 𝐃𝐎𝐃𝐎 found a strange vitality in the borderlands, a place where survival was a daily battle. It was an oddity, this sense of aliveness amidst constant danger, as if the very act of fighting for her life was what made her feel most real. 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 Shuntaro Chishiya found an inner death in the borderlands, a stark contrast to his life as a heroic surgeon. He was now haunted by the helplessness of sacrificing lives for his own survival, a burden that weighed heavily on his soul. In the borderlands, their paths collide, sparking a turmoil of vengeance and protection. Kaiya, consumed by grief, does everything in her power to torment Chishiya, the man she holds responsible for her brother's death. Yet, Chishiya, burdened by his failure, becomes Kaiya's silent guardian, driven by the belief that while he couldn't save her brother, he can still save Kaiya from the games, but mostly from herself.
