MMC is a guy who is an absolute chess and card fanatic. He can beat anyone at chess with only a few simple moves and he can do all kinds of different tricks and illusions with his many limited edition card decks. However, one day he begins to notice something odd happening with his chess sets and card decks. It appears that almost every time he wins at chess, all the pieces are in the exact same spots and even one time, when he drops them on the ground by accident, they all land on the board in those positions. Every time, it is the king, queen, bishop, and a single pawn set off on their own in the middle. The rest are either captured or (in the case where he dropped the chess set) fallen on their sides around them.
And his cards -- the royals in his decks, especially one in particular, seem to be taking very life-like faces. The jacks in every deck rather resemble himself. And the jokers in each deck stare back at him with mysterious, chilling faces, and even once, he could have sworn that the eyes had moved and stared at him in a sinister, mocking way. What is happening to his chess pieces and cards? MC Googles these things for lack of any other form of action to take and discovers that there is a very ancient prophecy in which four major figures play a role. A King, a Queen, a Bishop, a Pawn. A King, a Queen, a Joker, a Jack. A President, a First Lady, a shifty Ambassador, a young school boy who only ever wanted to just play chess and cards.
