Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

"Zizzi..."

The messy current sound from the TV stung his eardrums. The boy opened his confused eyes and looked at the only light source in the dark house.

[Recently, due to the abnormal activities of dark creatures, the Card Master Alliance issued a level 4 disaster alert...Residents are requested to avoid going out as much as possible...]

Memories flooded into his mind along with the sound of the broadcast, and Chu Ming's eyes gradually became clear.

"I actually traveled through time."

In the memory of its predecessor, this place was called Blue Star, and it was a world dominated by cards. Resonating and controlling card battles is the mainstream of the current era.

Chu Ming himself was a social worker who was nearly middle-aged. After working overtime and staying up late for three days and nights, he finally died and traveled to this world.

And his current identity is an 18-year-old quasi-senior high school student at Liming City No. 3 Middle School.

"I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky."

Feeling the energetic young body, Chu Ming gradually recalled his previous experiences while sighing with emotion.

Just yesterday, my predecessor, who had just grown up, was summoned by the school to go to the Card Master Alliance Building to perform the [Resonance Ceremony].

The so-called resonance ceremony is the medium and bridge for obtaining cards. As long as you successfully resonate with the cards, you can become a card master.

Every year, the Card Master Alliance gathers teenagers who have just turned eighteen from major middle schools to conduct a unified resonance ceremony.

For Chu Ming, whose parents had died and didn't have much savings, this opportunity was undoubtedly very precious.

Because of the high fees required to hold a resonance ceremony, even formal card masters may not be able to afford it.

This collective resonance ceremony held by the Card Master Alliance is free of charge. Of course, the predecessor wants to seize the opportunity and become a card master with a high social status in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. The predecessor did resonate with the card, but the card he got was an unusable [black card].

Chu Ming raised the dark card in his hand and looked at the card surface, which looked like a broken mirror.

Under the broken mirror, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes could vaguely be seen with panic eyes, gradually being swallowed up by darkness.

【The boy swallowed by darkness】

Normal cards can be divided into seven qualities: white, gray, green, blue, purple, red, and gold, but black cards are not included in this category.

The predecessor suffered a strong blow because of this, and he returned to his house in a daze and secluded himself for a day.

It was worn by Chu Ming before dawn.

"...How can this be such a tragic word?"

Chu Ming sighed and walked to the window. His perspective moved upward from the brightly lit bustling city, and a giant transparent tree emitting fluorescence appeared in front of him.

The giant tree stands in the sky, stretching out countless branches deep into the sky and spreading into the deep darkness.

It's called the Ancient Tree of Time, and it's a long river of history manifested in an alien world, and it's also the source of the card master's power.

This alien world is a world of swords and magic, with legendary figures with extraordinary powers such as magicians, knights, and dragons.

He also possesses magic items with magical power such as staffs, steel-cutting swords, and dragon-slaying swords.

Hundreds of years ago, the ancient tree of time came to Blue Star, and otherworldly powers began to appear in the form of cards.

Humans only need to resonate with the cards to get help from otherworldly forces.

After resonating with the card, there will be no obvious change in a person's physical strength.

But being able to control cards is the biggest difference between card masters and ordinary people!

Card Master, it is an extraordinary profession that was born after this world was connected to another world.

Card masters can drive heroes from other worlds to fight for themselves, and can also use various magical items with miraculous effects.

Even the most common white cards have skills far beyond those of ordinary people, and have more magical effects than real objects.

As for the highest-level cards in the legend, they have the power to drive thunder and lightning, move mountains and seas, transform all things...all kinds of great powers that can only be found in myths!

In the long history of other worlds, the history of the entire world has changed from prosperity to decline.

Since the fall of the Kingdom of Gods, the world's status has fallen one after another. After a long period of time, it was finally annihilated in the dark disaster.

According to historians' speculation, the reason why the alien world came to Blue Star was probably due to the instinct of the world consciousness to ask for help.

"Could it be that it originally wanted to ask for help from a higher world, but ended up falling into trouble with Blue Star?"

Chu Ming's expression gradually became strange, thinking of the dark creatures currently raging on Blue Star.

While the alien world brings extraordinary power to the humans of Blue Star, it also brings dark creatures that can destroy everything.

When humans first gained extraordinary power, they were still immersed in excitement and unable to extricate themselves.

But not long after, dark creatures followed and slapped humans on the face several times, waking everyone up at once.

Such monsters emerge in endlessly, with different abilities. Some are as strong as steel and have strong vitality. Even if they are hit by a large-caliber sniper gun, they can recover quickly.

Some move as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, and humans can only catch a trace of the afterimage with the naked eye.

What's more, its body is as big as a mountain, and it can sweep through all human defense facilities with a raised hand.

In order to fight against the dark creatures and seek survival, humans gathered all their strength, formed a card master alliance, vigorously cultivated card master talents, and spent hundreds of years barely resisting the invasion of dark creatures.

In the current situation, let alone saving the alien world on the ancient tree of time, just how to expel the dark creatures has left countless card masters scratching their heads and scratching their heads.

The reason why everyone desires to become a card master is not only to pursue extraordinary power and a higher status, but more importantly, to have the ability to protect themselves in this dangerous era.

"Unfortunately, the black card is not recognized by the Card Master Alliance and does not possess any extraordinary power."

Chu Ming looked at the black card in his hand and sighed.

There is more than one card that a person can resonate with, and not every time his luck will be so bad.

But every resonance requires a resonance ceremony.

If he wants to become a card master, he must perform another resonance ceremony to resonate new cards.

Ordinary people have no way to obtain resonance qualifications and can only spend money to purchase them. However, even the lowest-standard resonance ceremony requires 500,000 alliance coins to be held.

I had no father or mother before, and I had no money to rely on. The money I earned from working over the years plus some subsidies from schools was only a little over 10,000.

He didn't eat or drink, and worked like crazy, and it took him more than ten years to get it together.

When he thought of this, the weight of reality came to his heart, and Chu Ming felt a little tight in his chest.

Could it be... just give up like this?

Of course it's impossible!

As a social worker, he knows best the feeling of being overwhelmed by life and running around for daily necessities.

Live aimlessly and numbly all day long.

No matter how hard I try, I can't make even half a step forward.

After finally breaking away from all the restraints and reviving his life, he made a compromise with reality and returned to a life where he could see the end at a glance.

How could this be promised?

Breathing the fresh air outside the window, the glory of the ancient trees fell on him.

Chu Ming's eyes became more determined.

"It's decided, let's fight hard."

"Since you can't become a card teacher before your senior year of high school, you can't be admitted to the card teacher university. It's a good time to enter the society early."

"With the knowledge and experience of the earth in my mind, not to mention becoming rich and powerful, at least I can have a higher starting point than others... Although I don't know if these experiences will be useful, it is better than nothing..."

"Then slowly accumulate, step by step closer to the goal of becoming a card master."

After thinking for a long time and making plans for the future, Chu Ming leaned against the window and relaxed his nerves.

He lowered his head and stroked the broken card, staring at the boy in the card in a daze.

"How come I'm so unlucky to end up with someone like you?"

After silently complaining, Chu Ming was about to put down the card.

Suddenly the card seemed to be unconvinced and vibrated wildly, and a dazzling golden light appeared on the card surface.

The golden light started to magnify from the light spot, gradually illuminating the entire card surface.

Chu Ming felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, as if he sensed the arrival of something.

"Is this... card resonance?!"

After realizing it, he suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened.

The golden light fell from the ancient tree with blazing flames, like a golden crow shining through the world, piercing the night sky and occupying his entire pupils.

Before he had time to think, the golden light came to him in an instant.

In the flames, a pitch-black card turned into countless light patterns and swept in like a torrent with a thick and simple atmosphere.

The light patterns came and went, like words and pictures, and finally came together, leaving a thick stroke on the card that turned into a book.

The history books of the years.
