**Power System: Tier List**
1. **???**
This is the highest and most mysterious tier, an achievement no one is expected to reach. Ryuta stands as the only individual to have defied the system and attained this status.
2. **Deities**
This category encompasses various types:
- **Deity** – Occupies one of the Six Thrones above all others.
- **Deity Ruler** – Governs a specific nation from their throne.
- **True Deity** – Determines the potential of individuals to become deities and facilitates awakenings through challenges.
- **Unknown Deity** – Linked to enigmatic roles, tasks, and reincarnations, frequently seen among Tarot users who have passed away.
- **True Divine Deity** – The most powerful of all, capable of recreating, altering, or annihilating the world. No one has yet reached the status of the first True Divine Deity.
3. **Elemental Lords**
These entities preside over elemental realms (for example, the Abyssal Lords) and exist beyond mortals, Zodiacs, and regular creatures.
4. **Divine**
Humans who evolve by taking on the powers of the Zodiac Signs, making them more formidable than both Special and Special+ Transmigrators.
5. **Special+**
Transmigrators who independently awaken their Tarot Cards without needing approval from a True Deity, placing them above the standard Special tier.
6. **Special**
This is the basic tier for all Transmigrators. They automatically receive Tarot Cards (either Minor or Major Arcana). Users of the Minor Arcana also fall under this category unless they attain awakening on their own, in which case they move to Special+.
7. **Monster**
These beings possess strength that exceeds that of humans but are weaker than Transmigrators and Zodiacs.
8. **Elemental (Low Level)**
These are the simplest elemental creatures, characterized by their low intelligence and limited abilities. They are considered weaker than monsters.
9. **Superhuman**
Humans who surpass typical physical and mental boundaries. They are enhanced in comparison to regular humans but remain below the level of card users.
10. **Human**
This represents the fundamental tier, marking the weakest entry point within the system.
In this world, there are various tiers of Deities:
1. **The Deity**
These beings occupy one of the Six Thrones in the heavens.
2. **The Deity Ruler**
They govern a nation from their throne and oversee its affairs.
3. **The True Deity**
This supreme being determines the type of Deity one may become, overseeing the challenges that humans encounter.
4. **The Unknown Deity**
This is the deity associated with secretive roles and missions, such as spies, assassins, or wanderers. They are particularly notable because many individuals who die while using Tarot Cards often reincarnate as Unknown Deities.
5. **The True Divine Deity**
This figure holds greater power than all other Deities combined, possessing the ability to recreate, alter, or even annihilate the world. However, no one has ever achieved the status of the first True Divine Deity in history.

### Paths to Deityhood
There are two primary routes to becoming a Deity:
1. **Through Heroism**
If you manage to overcome significant threats, like formidable foes or catastrophic forces, you might earn a wish. Should the True Deity accept your wish, you can rise to the status of a Deity.
2. **By Slaying a Deity**
By defeating and killing an existing Deity, you can assume their position and ascend.

The True Divine Deity represents the pinnacle of existence, almost legendary in nature. To achieve this rank, you must either prove your worth through trials and acts of heroism (with the True Deity's endorsement) or seize it through violent means by eliminating another Deity.
The power system for Transmigrators revolves around Tarot Cards. If you're a Transmigrator, you automatically qualify as a Tarot Card user.
However, awakening your Tarot Card hinges on three essential elements:
1. The Distributor – An old man who operates a Tarot shop and is responsible for handing out the cards.
2. The True Deity – This entity will unlock your Tarot Card, but only if it acknowledges that you have faced significant challenges.
Now, you might wonder about other Transmigrators in this realm who lack Tarot Cards. Doesn't that seem to contradict the idea of everyone being "automatically chosen"?
The answer is no.
Here's the explanation:
Every Transmigrator is indeed automatically designated as a Tarot Card user, but initially, they only receive a Minor Arcana.
In order to obtain a Major Arcana, you must be someone who isn't afraid of death, like Ryuta and his companions.
Collin, the main character in the upcoming sequel (Lost in Fatal Existence 2: Zodiac Ruins), stands apart from others. He has a philosophical mindset and is always prepared, which helps him navigate numerous life-threatening scenarios. Yet, the True Deity only grants Major Arcana to those who are genuinely ready to face death, rather than just those who are equipped to survive.
Even for those with a Minor Arcana, the process remains the same:
The Distributor will appear at random to bestow the card.
And if the Transmigrator demonstrates their worth through hardship, the True Deity may choose to awaken that Minor Arcana.
