Chap 2: Provocation

Most returned to his shabby house in a state of excitement. The house was old and worn down, yet it was everything his parents had left behind. After so many misfortunes, the savings of his family were almost completely gone. It would probably not be long before Most was expelled from Moonlight High School.

Most scanned his fingerprint and slammed the door shut. He immediately jumped onto the bed and sank deep into his consciousness. His awareness began to connect with his Destiny Card and summon its projection into reality.

The Memory energy within his body was activated. A small white card formed in the palm of his hand. Most threw it toward the empty space in the room. The card instantly transformed into a small skeleton about one meter tall. Its bony frame looked extremely fragile. In its hands it held a rusty iron sword and a small round shield.

"It looks pretty pathetic."

Most sighed and shook his head. At first glance this Skeleton did not appear special at all. Like every other White rank monster, it would probably vanish after a single strike. He left it standing there and began rummaging through the room for something.

Before long Most pulled out a small square wooden box from a dusty cabinet. He gently stroked the wooden box with a heavy expression. Inside were the cards his parents had saved.

All the cards inside were unlinked cards.

There were eight in total.

Seven were white cards.

Only one was a green card. "Wind Wolf."

When monsters were defeated there was a chance they would drop a Memory Orb, which contained a card. However the drop rate of Memory Orbs was extremely low, and most of the cards obtained were weak White rank cards.

The stronger the monster, the higher the probability of obtaining a better card. But the increase was only slight.

Most did not hesitate. He threw all the white cards toward the Skeleton.

The black flame within its eye sockets suddenly flared violently. The white cards were instantly engulfed by the flame and turned into tiny specks of light that flowed into Most's body.

"Are these Enhancement Points?"

Most could clearly sense the lights floating within the space of his consciousness. Seven points of light slowly revolved around the white card like planets orbiting a sun.

With a single thought, Most guided the lights to slowly merge with the white card.

The moment the lights fully fused into the card, the Skeleton outside began to tremble violently.

Its body seemed to grow slightly larger. The bones became thicker and sturdier. From a fragile skeleton barely one meter tall, it quickly grew to around one meter twenty. Some of the rust on its sword even peeled away.

Overall the Skeleton had clearly become far stronger than before.

Most began breathing rapidly. He had predicted that Sol's ability was powerful, but he had never imagined it would be this heaven defying.

His instincts told him something astonishing.

Sol might be able to break through the natural quality limit of its card.

Perhaps with just a few more Enhancement Points, Sol could evolve into a Green rank card.

Green cards were completely different from White cards because they possessed Skills.

Skills allowed summoned monsters to unleash attacks with tremendous destructive power, sometimes accompanied by special effects.

"If I gather enough Enhancement Points, could Sol evolve into a Purple card? No… maybe even a Legendary Orange card."

Most tried to suppress the excitement in his mind. He had to keep this secret.

Outside there were still enemies constantly watching him.

He absolutely could not let this secret be exposed. Otherwise his fate would not be any different from that of his parents.

"I need to find a way to obtain more White cards."

After the Awakening ceremony there would be a trial for Candidate Card Masters.

They would be sent into a low level spatial gate to hunt monsters and collect points.

The top ten contestants would receive a low grade Memory Orb.

The top three would receive an additional mid grade Memory Orb.

The champion would also receive an exceptional Green card directly.

This was the opportunity for Most to quickly gather enough Enhancement Points.

Moreover there was still another ability of Sol that he had not yet tested.

Pushing aside all distracting thoughts, Most recalled Sol back into its card and quickly entered a cultivation state.

Memory energy was called Memo.

Through the Destiny Card, a Card Master could absorb Memo to strengthen their own body. Only when the body of a Card Master was strong enough could they integrate more cards to complete their Deck.

Just as he expected, the conversion rate of Memo from a White card was extremely low.

After an entire night of cultivation, the Memo within his body barely increased.

At this rate he would never reach level ten before the time of enlistment.

"I must achieve a high ranking in the upcoming trial. Besides Memory Orbs, the rewards also include Energy Orbs. Those can help me level up quickly."

A sleepless night left Most exhausted. As usual he still carried his books to school to continue learning.

Moonlight was the only school willing to accept him. In order to do so, the principal had certainly endured tremendous pressure. Most was deeply grateful to him.

That was why, despite enduring countless insults and ridicule, Most had never missed a single class.

"All of you students have already awakened. Therefore today we will learn about the concept of Deck."

Standing on the platform was a middle aged female teacher. She was a rank D Card Master with a Plant Deck, focused mainly on support and defense.

"Deck is the foundation of a Card Master. A Deck consists of five cards forming a combination. Every ten levels you may link one additional card besides your Destiny Card."

"Each of you will have a unique Deck that no one else possesses. When you reach level ten you must use an Appraisal Crystal to discover the formation condition of your Deck."

"You should remember this. If your Destiny Card is weak, Deck appraisal is your second chance to stand out. A powerful Deck can even allow you to challenge opponents above your level."

As she finished speaking, the teacher suddenly clenched her fist. A strange light flickered in her eyes as the Memo energy within her body surged outward.

The energy transformed into countless bushes and flowers that spread across the classroom.

A refreshing and pleasant atmosphere radiated from the plants. Some students curiously touched the bushes. Surprisingly, although they looked fragile, they were as tough as steel.

"This is my Deck ability."

"Deck: Heart of the Forest."

"As long as my Destiny Card is not destroyed, every my summoned beast within this area will continuously receive the effect Recovery."

The teacher waved her hand and withdrew the Deck effect. The classroom quickly returned to normal.

"Teacher, I have a question."

A chubby young boy raised his hand. As he spoke, his gaze kept drifting toward Most, who sat silently in the corner. His face was full of contempt.

"Although Deck appraisal can produce powerful abilities, it still depends greatly on the Destiny Card. That means if the Destiny Card is too useless, the Deck will not be much better either. Am I correct, teacher?"

"Hahaha. Bota is right. Some kinds of trash will never rise in their entire life. Dreaming of obtaining a powerful Deck?"

Another young man spoke mockingly.

Even inside the classroom he showed little respect toward the teacher. His background was extremely powerful, and no one dared to oppose him.

He was none other than Voga, the second son of the Maxwell family, the ruling family of Star City.

Bota secretly rejoiced, once again receiving an approving glance from Voga. Bota was like a loyal dog, always doing everything he could to please Voga.

Although he had awakened, he was only a White Card holder. However, his card was "Gray Wolf," a card considered exceptionally outstanding among the white-tier cards. Bota's "Gray Wolf" could easily destroy Most's Skeleton.

"Lord Voga speaks wisely. Trash cards like Skeleton are not even worthy of being called garbage. I heard that someone in this class awakened such a pathetic card. Hahaha. Like father like son."

Most tried to remain calm. He had long grown used to humiliation.

But whenever his parents were mentioned, a nameless rage surged uncontrollably within him.

"Trash? Are you talking about yourself?"

The entire classroom suddenly fell silent.

Most's reaction shocked everyone. In their impression, Most had always been quiet and timid. Hearing him talk back was something completely new.

"How brave. What made you so brave? That garbage White card of yours?"

"You keep calling others trash. Have you ever looked at yourself?"

Most suddenly stood up. He pointed directly at Bota and said something that shocked the entire classroom.

"If you have the guts, let's have a battle."

  • Chap 8: Epic Card

    The one eyed man was terrified but refused to say a single word. Looking at Most's young face, he was certain that Most would not have the heart to kill him. At worst he would be captured and handed over to the Alliance. After regaining his composure, the one eyed man sneered, staring at Most with a provocative gaze.Unfortunately for him, this time he had misjudged once again. After seeing that Goblin hybrid card, Most no longer regarded the one eyed man as a human being. The boy ordered the Goblin to chop off one of the man's arms. Blood sprayed out like a fountain. The unbearable pain made the one eyed man scream like a madman. His body trembled as he rolled across the blood soaked ground. The provocation in his eyes was now replaced with extreme fear and regret."I will speak. I will speak… Please spare my life."The one eyed man began recounting the whole story. They were originally nothing more than ordinary members of a D rank exploration team led by Rolan. During one expeditio

  • Chap 7: Not So Strong

    On a grassland not far from the Goblin nest, a fierce battle was unfolding between the supervising teachers of Moonlight and the Card Masters of the Rolan extraction team. The two sides appeared evenly matched. Their summoned beasts lunged at one another and tore viciously into flesh and bone, while the effects of the Card Masters' Decks spread across the entire field, turning the place into a chaotic battlefield."Slash!"A slender arm suddenly pierced straight through the chest of a male teacher. The unfortunate man who had been ambushed widened his eyes in disbelief. He slowly turned his head, staring at the woman standing behind him.His lips trembled as if trying to say something, yet the only things that poured out were blood and tears.The woman silently smiled. Her arm slowly twisted inside his chest, causing the wound to tear wider and wider. At last, she pulled out a lump of bloody flesh that was still beating violently."Roxana, have you lost your mind? You dare slaughter y

  • Chap 6: The Sacrificial Ritual

    Most continued moving deeper into the forest. Based on the habits of Goblins, he believed their sheltering nest would not be built too far from here. A D rank space gate would not contain monsters stronger than Green Color rank. Therefore, in order to earn as many points as possible, Most needed to eliminate a large number of Goblins.A single Goblin nest could house at least hundreds of adult Goblins, not to mention the enormous number of young ones. Goblins were a race with extremely high reproductive capability. They could breed with various different species, and during that process there was sometimes a chance that extremely powerful mutated individuals would be born.After traveling for a long time, Most once again encountered a group of Goblins dragging prey back. This time he did not attack and only followed them quietly. He wanted to use this opportunity to track them and determine the location of their nest."Here it is."Not long after, Most discovered a large village ahead

  • Chap 5: The Trial

    After a period of training, Most's rank had reached level 5. The distance to linking another card was no longer far. Although after evolving his Destiny Card to the green tier, Most's training speed had increased significantly, compared to those great families with abundant resources, that speed was still far behind.Take Voga for example. His awakened Destiny Card was blue, not to mention he was the young master of the Maxwell family. Not long ago Voga had already reached level 10 and linked another blue card. His combat strength could be said to be the strongest among the younger generation of Star City. If nothing unexpected happened, Voga was destined to become the champion of the trial and be granted special admission into one of the prestigious universities of the Alliance.Today was the day the trial examination was held. All the young students gathered around the plaza of Moonlight. The atmosphere was lively and tense. Everyone was excited, eagerly anticipating their first tim

  • Chap 4: Green Essences

    News of the battle between Most and Bota quickly spread throughout the school. The entire match was collected by numerous teachers and turned into teaching material. The technique known as "Link" soon became a heated topic, attracting the attention of countless commoner students.Most commoner students could only awaken White Cards, and compared with Most, they were not actually much stronger. To advance far on the path of a Card Master, talent alone was not enough. It also required vast wealth and resources. Those from common backgrounds would certainly be unable to reach level 10 before the university entrance examinations. Because of that, if both sides possessed only one card, the one who mastered the "Link" technique would have a much higher chance of victory and could secure better examination scores.Inside the spacious principal's office at Moonlight, the recording of Most's battle was projected clearly on the screen of an extremely sophisticated device. Sitting in front of it

  • Chap 3: Strange Skeleton

    "A duel? With you alone?"Bota burst out laughing, and his laughter was quickly echoed by the entire class. Most's words were like a joke that stirred the atmosphere in the room. Even the female teacher quietly shook her head.Skeletons were considered the weakest monsters in every ranking. Weak defense, weak offense, and slow movement speed, their only real use was as expendable scouts to probe the way ahead.Most glanced around the classroom before trying to memorize the faces of those who laughed the loudest. They were not wrong. A normal Skeleton, even in numbers ten times greater, would still be no match for a single Gray Wolf. Gray Wolves were known for their extremely high attack power and incredible speed.The problem was that only Most knew the truth.His skeleton was not an ordinary skeleton.It was a card with a name.Cards with unique names were treasures among treasures. They represented real figures who had once existed in the past and were now recreated by Memory throug
