Description

One deck, fifty-two cards. All Blank. Against the world playing poker at a rigged table with people who can see through cards. Good luck. You will need it. Waking up in a world like his own, yet wholly different, Gabriel must navigate the treacherous world of superheroes, all the while making sure he doesn't make a mistake that would lead to his death. Or worse. And all he has in his hands is a deck of cards, promising infinite possibilities. Absorb. Fuse. Destroy. Three actions that could lead him to the top of the world, if used smartly. Now if hot superheroes would stop bringing down buildings on the top of his head! A superhero story by a person who starts from nothing, but has awareness of the ugly reality he has found himself. A superhero story somewhere between campy and grimderp, allowing me to explore all possibilities. Updates twice a week.

This author’s writing style works quite well for this type of character and setting. If you’re reading this in a year, and you haven’t read the story yet, I envy you because you have a lot of great reading ahead.
