It begins one night, a resolution that would make the world shatter upon his decision. As he stand on top of a skyscraper, overlooking at the blinking lights of the metropolitan in the horizon, the man is actually looking at the final moments of humanity. His decision was made long ago, years to be in fact, but the point is, he already made up his mind.
He is going to commit a crime.
Now, what he was talking about here is no mere crime. As the matter of a fact, the man who made the resolve just now was no ordinary criminal. This man was a man whose name is going to be remembered in the future, imprinted on historical document and will be feared by humanity in nationwide.

Normally, a detective might deduce his motive as one of these cases: a motive to seek attention to the world, vengeance upon being indiscriminate and shunned or perhaps another case involving the love one. Should one of the cases be true, then the detective can only be right about one case: revenge.
It's not unusual for a criminal to commit vengeance in order to justify his or her own action against his or her assailants. This man, however, though he set his vengeance to the world he wants merely want to test the flickers of hopes against his crimes.
The world is going to tremble.
The authorities will be frantic in desperation.
There would be chaos all over.
And all will set in a wonderful harmony of the balance between black and white.
The resolution made by this man is going to set this world ablaze with terror and confusion – he used them as a test subject, to see whether or not these fools deserved to rightfully joined in his orchestra of madness or not. Never the less, this is also his revenge. He would make sure that the world is going to suffer. Then he can call a judgment on whether or not he would continue to abuse them or to let them out of his mercy. One way or another, whatever he would do next, is going to set his name straight into the historical records of the world events.
That night, the infamous notorious criminal of the twenty-first century, The Tarot Man… was born.
